This book was released on 2015 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is envisaged that the findings of this research will enrich our understanding about the impact of service climate on internal service quality and employee performance. This is an important conceptual contribution because it will help resolve the confusion reported in prior research about the role of internal service quality plays between service climate and employee performance. Specifically, this research will show that service climate is an important antecedent to internal service quality, which in turn affects employee performance directly, thus internal service quality is a mediator rather than a moderator. More importantly, it will also be shown that independent and interdependent personal cultural orientations may moderate these relationships. Besides its conceptual contribution in clarifying the mediating versus moderating role of internal service quality, this research also has many important managerial implications. First, the findings of this research will help managers to understand the moderating effect of individual employees' personal cultural orientations (independence vs. interdependence) on the relationship between service climate and internal service quality as well as the influence of internal service quality on employee performance. Second, this research would highlight that managers should not merely focus on the objective criteria such as age, education, gender, work experience etc. while selecting new employees, but also look at the subjective criteria such as the level of individual employees'efforts to understand the cultural differences between them and their co-workers. Such knowledge and understanding would allow them to work more effectively and efficiently, especially in large-scale construction projects with multi-national teams consisting of employees with widely varying personal cultural orientations.

Download or read book The Impact of Organizational Culture on Internal Service Quality written by Mohhidin Othman and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational culture has been a long-standing area of research in more traditional business management research, however to-date few, if any, studies have attempted to consider how employees are servicing each other within an organization's own cultural environment. In an innovative attempt to link organizational culture (OC) to internal service quality (ISQ), this work develops a case study of three hotels in Malaysia based on in-depth interviews and a semi-quantitative technique, Profile Accumulation Technique (PAT). Ogbonna and Harris' (2002) framework is used to demonstrate how and where organizational culture can affect employees' ISQ performance. The concept of ISQ in hotel is based on Caruana and Pitt (1997, Paraskevas (2001) and White and Rundall (1999) but a free response PAT by Johns and Lee-Ross (1995) was used in examining the ISQ. The study found the weak linkages between OC and ISQ and the evidence suggests that different types of OC have different levels of impact on the employee ISQ. The initial understanding of the link between OC and ISQ may benefit managers in the industry through benchmarking some of the positive practices.

Download or read book Building Cultures and Climates for Effective Human Services written by Anthony L. Hemmelgarn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely acknowledged that many healthcare, behavioral health, and social service organizations provide less-than-optimal services and that the challenge of improving services depends on successfully changing organizational culture and climate. However, there are almost no organizational-level strategies that have been tested with randomized controlled trials. Building Cultures and Climates for Effective Human Services addresses the need for evidence-based organizational strategies for improving human service quality and outcomes by uniquely describing the authors' own case examples, nationwide studies, and randomized controlled trials to explain how organizational culture and climate can be assessed and changed. The two authors use their decades of research and practice experience in assessing and changing human service organizations to explain how organizations can improve the services they provide using the authors' ARC model, which effectively removes service barriers and supports the implementation of evidence-based practices and other innovations. The book also blends case examples with research from nationwide studies, regional experiments, and randomized controlled trials to explain the ARC model of organizational effectiveness and how it works to improve services. It provides a balance between theory, empirical research, and actual case examples to help researchers, organizational consultants, administrators, and service providers gain a practical understanding of how culture and climate affect services and how they can be improved. Furthermore, the text describes the three ARC strategies, each composed of multiple elements, to: (1) embed key organizational principles, (2) implement core organizational component tools, and (3) apply mental models to alter shared reasoning and beliefs that affect success. No other organizational-level strategies for improving services have been so well documented and tested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields of organizational climate and organizational culture have co-existed for several decades with very little integration between the two. In Organizational Climate and Culture: An Introduction to Theory, Research, and Practice, Mark G. Ehrhart, Benjamin Schneider, and William H. Macey break down the barriers between these fields to encourage a broader understanding of how an organization’s environment affects its functioning and performance. Building on in-depth reviews of the development of both the organizational climate and organizational culture literatures, the authors identify the key issues that researchers in each field could learn from the other and provide recommendations for the integration of the two. They also identify how practitioners can utilize the key concepts in the two literatures when conducting organizational cultural inquiries and leading change efforts. The end product is an in-depth discussion of organizational climate and culture unlike anything that has come before that provides unique insights for a broad audience of academics, practitioners, and students.

Download or read book The Influence of Employee Goal Orientations and Employee Self Efficacy on Perceived Service Quality written by Jamie J. Bodouva and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to enhance service quality research by examining whether hotel employees attitudes, motivations and behaviors had an effect on perceived service quality. In the recent years, interests in service marketing and practice have become of great importance. The role of the individual service employee has become paramount to the service delivery process (Singh, 2000). A conceptual framework was developed and data was gathered from one 4-Diamond hotel. 184 responses were ultimately used for analyzing, which resulted in an 81% response rate. A full structural model was tested on the hypotheses (both the magnitude and the direction) once the measurement model was obtained. A nonsignificant path was eliminated and a revised model was tested against an alternative model. Fit indices were assessed for acceptable fits with all three models. Overall, the results of the proposed path model were supported. The relationship between employee self-efficacy and performance orientation was the only hypothesis not support. This study identified that learning and performance goal orientations effects on perceived service quality were mediated by self-efficacy and they both had direct and indirect influences on each other, with the indirect path being stronger.
Download or read book Service Climate in Self Managing Teams written by Ad de Jong and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from the organizational behaviour and services marketing literature, we develop a conceptual model of self-managing team (SMT) service climate, taking into account characteristics of the organizational context, the SMT, and the individual employee. In order to assess the impact of SMT service climate, we include a number of internal consequences (i.e., in-company performance data) and external service performance outcomes (i.e., customer-perceived service quality). As a result of the hierarchically nested data-structure (i.e., groups and individuals), we investigate the antecedents of SMT service climate in service groups using a multi-level approach. Our results reveal that organizational and group factors have a significant cross-level influence on individual employee perceptions of SMT service climate. Furthermore, we demonstrate that employee perceptions of SMT service climate are positively related to customer-perceived service quality, while there is no relationship with service productivity measures.
