This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction In the growing world of competitiveness organizational effectiveness is increasingly becoming dependent on how well they are utilizing the human resources available to the organizations. Effective utilization of human resource has a positive impact on the employee outcomes which have direct implications on organizational effectiveness. Various researchers over the past many years have examined various employee work related outcomes like organizational commitment, performance, job satisfaction etc. At its most general level of conceptualization, job satisfaction is simply how content an individual is with his or her job. At the more specific levels of conceptualization used by academic researchers and human resources professionals, job satisfaction has varying definitions. Affective job satisfaction is usually defined as a one-dimensional subjective construct representing an overall emotional feeling individuals have about their job as a whole. Hence, affective job satisfaction for individuals reflects the degree of pleasure or happiness their job in general induces. Organizational commitment is a concept used in a number of different ways. In most cases, we use the term to refer to a type of employee, that is, an employee with high organizational commitment. Here, we generally refer to three observable patterns of behavior. When we see an employee exhibiting these patterns of behavior, we attribute these patterns to commitment and can say that the individual is committed. More recently, these behaviors have been termed organizational citizenship behaviors. The three components of commitment are: Identification with the organization's goals and/or mission manifested in pride in and defense of the organization, long-term membership in the organization and intention to remain with the organization, often termed loyalty, & high levels of extra role behavior, that is, behavior beyond required performance- Often referred to as citizenship behavior or pro-social behavior. Job performance also apart of Human Resources Management commonly refers to the performance at the job level. Despite the confusion over how it should be exactly defined, performance is an extremely important criterion that relates to organizational outcomes and success. Among the most commonly accepted theories of job performance comes from the work of John P. Campbell and colleagues. Coming from a psychological perspective, Campbell describes job performance as an individual level variable. That is, performance is something a single person does. This differentiates it from more encompassing constructs such as organizational performance or national performance which are higher level variables. Other than the fact that job performance of employees is assessed by using various scales by researchers, for instance, four items scale of Wright and Bonett, Performance Appraisal Questionnaire (PAQ). While some researchers use supervisors rating for measuring employee performance , still most prefer using combined rating of both the supervisor and employee self rating as performance score. Objective of the Study • To expand the knowledge on contextual validity of the three measure of employee outcomes i.e. job satisfaction, organizational commitment and performance. • To test the goodness of measures of these three employee outcomes. • To suggest how human resources could be utilized effectively to bring out positive employee outcomes which has direct implication on organizational effectiveness Methodology used for the study The sample of the study included 300 employees from the Public and Private sector organizations in Rajasthan. The samples were selected from all the five different geographical locations of Rajasthan i.e. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur, Ajmer. The Public sector organizations include State and Central Government organizations i.e. Insurance companies which include National Insurance Company ltd, New India Assurance Company. Ltd, Oriental Insurance Company ltd, United Insurance Company Ltd., & Life Insurance Corporation of India. The Private sector Insurance organizations included all approachable private sector insurance companies in the areas selected for the study. From these companies questionnaire were administered to all the Middle level employees of both the organizations i.e. Public and Private. Out of these 300 samples 100 were incomplete or find inadequate for the research study. Therefore study was undertaken with 200 samples. Exploratory factor analysis and reliability test used to test the validity and the reliability of the three employee outcomes. Factor analysis denoted a class of procedures primarily used for data reduction and summarization. Relationship among set of many interrelated variables are examined and represented with the help of factor analysis. The approach used in the factor analysis “Principle Component Analysis”. In this analysis, the total variance in the data was considered. The diagonal of the correlation matrix consisted of unities and full variance was brought in to the factor analysis. It determined the minimum number of factors that accounted for maximum variance in the data for use in subsequent multivariate analysis. The factors are also called principal components. Although the initial or un-rotated factor matrix indicated the relationship between the factors they were also correlated with many variables. Hence the variance explained by each factors were distributed by rotation. The method used for rotation in this study was “Varimax”. It is a method of factor rotation that the numbers of variables with high loading on a factor, thereby enhancing the interpretability of the factors. Cronbach alpha has been used to test the reliability of the data collected. Kaiser-Meyer-Oklin measure of sampling adequacy was computed which indicates that the sample was good for sampling. Conclusions From the above study it was found that the three measures i.e. commitment, performance & job satisfaction were the most reliable & valid measures of employee outcomes with a little deletion or addition in the state of Rajasthan. Management Implication The study could helpful for the organisation's measuring employee outcomes on a regular basis and could help develop standardised procedures to measures the employee outcomes. So that the future performance appraisals could be based on that. The study could also help organisations to identify the most valuable employees. Limitations The sample of this study includes only clerical & related employees of the public sector organisations. Therefore the findings may not be valid for the other categories of employee and other sector.

This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Routledge Handbook on Labour in Construction and Human Settlements presents a detailed and comprehensive examination of the relationship between labour and the built environment, and synergises these critical focus areas in innovative ways. This unrivalled edited collection of chapters analyses problems and presents possible solutions related to the employment and conditions of workers in the construction industry. It provides comprehensive coverage of the relationship between the global workforce and the built environment and is divided into four topical areas: how labour and the built environment relate to development; employment generation in the built environment; quality of employment in the built environment; and the impact of the built environment on labour in other sectors. Underpinning the entire book is the premise that the way the built environment is produced, and its main products – buildings, cities and towns – have an impact on large numbers of workers. At the same time, the quality of the built environment requires construction workers who are well trained and with good working conditions. While cities and towns are the engines of economic growth, they will not be able to fulfil their economic potential if poverty in the workforce is not addressed. Those who are unemployed, underemployed or work in unfavourable conditions cannot fully contribute to production, and at the same time are limited in their ability to purchase goods and services – therefore limiting economic growth and restricting improvements in their living standards. In addition, investments in infrastructure, housing and inner-city redevelopment cannot be sustainable if labour issues – i.e., poverty – are not addressed. This book aims at analysing this complex set of issues comprehensively and will be essential reading to a wide range of researchers across the interdisciplinary intersections of construction, business and management, economic development, urban studies, sociology, political science and project management.
