Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commitment in the workplace has been an enduring concern of managers at all levels. On the basis of extensive research and practical work with corporations, Stephen L. Fink establishes a sound basis (Commitment Diagnostic Instrument) for diagnosing essential characteristics of employee commitment and, importantly, offers practical guidance for remedying situations in which commitment levels constitute problems. Fink examines the differing experiences of corporations with dissimilar personnel approaches. His analysis involves consideration of common, but highly relevant, factors including age, length of service, and educational level. Types of commitments are differentiated, for example, commitment to co-workers is distinguished from commitment to one's specific performance. Managers are guided on the approaches conducive to establish, monitor, and strengthen commitment as a means to a qualitatively better and more productive workplace.

Download or read book Changes Dangers Choice and Voice written by Marian Baird and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a case study approach, this article explores the implications for employees and unions of the introduction of a high commitment management (HCM) model to two Australian workplaces; one a brownfield site, the other a greenfield site. The article assesses the impact of HCM on employees using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Its central argument is structured around four themes. The first relates to the extent and type of the changes introduced. The article briefly overviews the features of the new HCM system at the greenfield site and contrasts them with the traditional industrial relations (IR) extant at the brownfield site. The second theme examines the dangers of the new system for employees and unions at both sites. The third theme analyses the choices available to employees at each workplace and argues that only limited choice is available. The fourth theme considers the opportunities for, and impediments to, employee voice being heard in both the old and new systems. The article concludes with an evaluation of the costs and benefits of the new system for all employees and argues that in order to fully appreciate the implications of HCM, an integration of traditional IR concerns with human resource management (HRM) analysis is essential.

This book was released on 2006-08-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are as many answers to the question of how organizations can gain competitive advantage in today's global economy as there are books and experts, one lesson seems very clear: traditional answers and resources are no longer sufficient. This seminal book offers not only an answer regarding how to gain competitive advantage through people, but also a brand new, untapped human resource--psychological capital, or simply PsyCap. Generated from both the positive psychology movement and the authors' pioneering work on positive organizational behavior, PsyCap goes beyond traditionally recognized human and social capital. But PsyCap is not a vague or unscientific concept: to be included in PsyCap, a given positive construct must be based on theory, research, and valid measurement, must be open to development, and must have measurable performance impact. The positive constructs that have been determined to best meet these PsyCap criteria, efficacy (confidence), hope, optimism, and resiliency, are covered in separate chapters in Psychological Capital. After exploring other potential positive constructs such as creativity, wisdom, well being, flow, humor, gratitude, forgiveness, emotional intelligence, spirituality, authenticity, and courage, the authors summarize the research demonstrating the performance impact of PsyCap. They go on to provide the PsyCap Questionnaire (PCQ) as a measurement tool, and the PsyCap Intervention (PCI) as a development aid. Utility analysis indicates that investing in the development of PsyCap as presented in this book can result in a very substantial return. In total, Psychological Capital provides theory, research, measurements, and methods of application for the new resource of psychological capital, a resource that can be developed and sustained for competitive advantage.

Download or read book Promoting Healthy Workplaces written by Dr. Nicole Cvenkel Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-05-25 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The health and well-being of people of working age are of fundamental importance to the future of work and organizational productivity globally. Growing evidence suggests that employee well-being at work can help improve physical and mental health, reduce health inequalities and offer improved opportunities for engagement, wellness at work, and productivity. The debate about the impact of working life on employee well-being has been intensified. Whilst the issue of employee well-being at work has reached a new level of importance in the minds of policy makers, managers, and employers there is still little evidence that attention has been paid to the worker’s voice in their evaluation of HRM practices, line management leadership, the quality of working life and well-being at work in organizations. Research within these areas remain relatively untapped. Furthermore, understanding employees expectations of the psycho-social factors affecting the employment relationship and employee well-being at work are all lacking in the evidence base. This book seeks to contribute to the debate in these areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee engagement is the holy grail for every business leader. Its described in a variety of ways but generally defined as when employees fully invest emotionally, mentally, and physically so they focus on achieving the organisations objectives. Getting commitment is an elusive aspect to managing people. The business organisations are aware of the importance of employee commitment and its role in motivating employees. As easy it is to obtain it can also be lost. Gaining or losing employee commitment, from one day to the next, happens quickly. Employee commitment is one of several central themes that appear in every employee. As a word, commitment is present in the majority of employee literature. But what is commitment? Organisational commitment is the bond employees experience with their organisation. Broadly speaking, employees who are committed to their organisation generally feel a connection with their organisation, feel that they fit in and, feel they understand the goals of the organisation. The added value of such employees is that they tend to be more determined in their work, show relatively high productivity and are more proactive in offering their support. When things go well, employee engagement leads to employee retention and balancing behaviour-reinforcing performance rewards. During economic distress business leaders are concerned about commitment and managing negative employees expectations. The level of commitment relates to several aspects such as satisfaction, turnover, cognitive resonance between different hierarchical levels, and performance on the job. The complexity in and importance of understanding employee commitment thus makes it a key feature of managerial task. This monograph examines the body of knowledge from past research to reflect on such commitment and issues in harnessing it. Handbook of Employee Commitment provides a conversant review of theory and research relevant to employee commitment in the workplace, drawing its value for both employers and employees and identifying crucial factors in its development, maintenance or decline. In todays competitive world every organisation is facing new challenges regarding sustained productivity and creating committed workforce. Now a days no organisation can perform at peak levels unless each employee is committed to the organisations objectives. Hence, it is important to understand the concept of commitment and its feasible outcome. This book is valuable for managers and management consultants and researchers involved in the latest developments in the field as well as for international scholars who will benefit from its guidance on how to approach research in inimitable cultures.
Download or read book The Organization Man written by William H. Whyte and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded as one of the most important sociological and business commentaries of modern times, The Organization Man developed the first thorough description of the impact of mass organization on American society. During the height of the Eisenhower administration, corporations appeared to provide a blissful answer to postwar life with the marketing of new technologies—television, affordable cars, space travel, fast food—and lifestyles, such as carefully planned suburban communities centered around the nuclear family. William H. Whyte found this phenomenon alarming. As an editor for Fortune magazine, Whyte was well placed to observe corporate America; it became clear to him that the American belief in the perfectibility of society was shifting from one of individual initiative to one that could be achieved at the expense of the individual. With its clear analysis of contemporary working and living arrangements, The Organization Man rapidly achieved bestseller status. Since the time of the book's original publication, the American workplace has undergone massive changes. In the 1990s, the rule of large corporations seemed less relevant as small entrepreneurs made fortunes from new technologies, in the process bucking old corporate trends. In fact this "new economy" appeared to have doomed Whyte's original analysis as an artifact from a bygone day. But the recent collapse of so many startup businesses, gigantic mergers of international conglomerates, and the reality of economic globalization make The Organization Man all the more essential as background for understanding today's global market. This edition contains a new foreword by noted journalist and author Joseph Nocera. In an afterword Jenny Bell Whyte describes how The Organization Man was written.
