This book was released on 2008 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relatively few studies have examined job satisfaction and its intrinsic and extrinsic facets as well as their relationship to organizational and religious commitment for religious private universities. This quantitative research study measured levels of job satisfaction, organizational and religious commitment as well as 5 demographic variables for 835 employees of a private religious university. The study revealed that university employees were most satisfied with their relations with students and peers, and least satisfied with their salary and organizational policy. It was shown that overall job satisfaction and its intrinsic and extrinsic facets were influenced by demographic variables, such as age, educational level, and occupational area. Organizational commitment was related to age and educational level. Moderate correlations were found between organizational commitment and job satisfaction. A seven-predictor model explained 44.2% of the variance of organizational commitment with different models for the occupational subgroups. Religious commitment did not have a mediating effect on the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to compare public and private organizations with regard to work related attitudes, work satisfaction and organizational commitment. The long-standing debate as to whether or not public administration must rely upon business administration assumptions has strengthened the need for more research analyzing the similarities and differences between public and private organizations. The public-private comparison is relevant to understand the context in which the transferability of management techniques occurs and be aware of the differences between public and private employees' needs and perceptions. Therefore, this study attempts to explore if the factors that influence work satisfaction and organizational commitment differ for public and private employees.

Book excerpt: Research on organisational commitment has gained momentum over the last two decades because of its association with positive work practices. As organisations undertake restructuring measures to maintain a leaner workforce, employee commitment to the organisation has now become more critical than ever. The main objectives of this research are: (a) to establish whether Meyer and Allen?s multidimensional organisational commitment is applicable to a Kenyan setting; (b) to determine whether there are any sector (i.e. public and private) and occupational group (i.e. academic and administrative) differences in the levels organisational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intentions; and (c) to examine the extent to which demographic characteristics, professional commitment, job and role-related factors, and HRM practices influenced organisational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intentions among employees in public and private universities. This study was motivated by the state of Kenyan universities, particularly public universities as centres of excellence which are responsible for the development of human resources required for national development. Over the last two decades, public universities have been facing a myriad of problems which have affected their ability to motivate and retain their employees. This has been as a result of the general state of economic decline the country has been experiencing since the late 1980s. Consequently, facilities are rundown, students? unrest on the increase while employees are dissatisfied because of various monetary and non-monetary factors resulting in high turnover rates among academics while those who have remained are actively involved in moonlighting activities to supplement their income. The declining conditions in public universities have pushed private universities from the periphery to the forefront. Although, they offer market-oriented courses, their dependence on tuition fees as their main source of funding has made them unaffordable to ordinary Kenyans, thus raising concerns about equity in these institutions. The data for this study was collected using questionnaires from 829 academic and 785 administrative employees from three public and three private universities, with a response rate of 54% (446 academic employees) and 62% (486 administrative employees) after data screening. The data was analysed using statistical package (SPSS). In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted from 15 academic and administrative employees with the aim of validating the data collected from the questionnaires. The findings indicated that Meyer and Allen?s multidimensional organisational commitment was applicable in the Kenyan context. Secondly, the independent variables (i.e. personal characteristics, job and role-related factors, professional commitment and HR practices) were stronger predictors of organisational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intentions for academics than for the administrative employees. Thirdly, employees from private universities were more committed to their universities and satisfied with their jobs than employees from public universities. Finally, age, education, professional commitment, role overload, supervisory support, job security, promotional opportunities, distributive justice and participation in decision making were the most important predictors of organisational commitment, job satisfaction and turnover intentions among employees in Kenyan universities. These results are significant for theory, policy and practice. In light of the applicability of the multidimensional organisational commitment to the Kenyan context, university managers should try to understand and establish work-related practices which are likely to enhance the most?desirable? component of commitment.
Download or read book Attitudes In and Around Organizations written by Arthur P. Brief and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1998-06-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the attitudes people bring with them to the workplace-attitudinal baggage-affect thoughts, feelings, and actions in organizations? How are the attitudes of those outside an organization (stockholders, customers, suppliers, government officials, and the public-at-large) affected by the organization? Attitudes In and Around Organizations provides a concise summary of what we know about attitudes and suggests what we might discover by adopting novel means, both conceptual and methodological, for studying attitudes in and around organizations. Arthur P. Brief provides an overview of the job satisfaction literature, including a redefinition of job satisfaction. In addition, he examines the various means by which attitudes have been measured, attitude formation and change, and the resistance of attitudes to change efforts. Groups whose attitudes are organizationally relevant (customers, for example) are examined in order to illustrate how organizations affect the attitudes of people beyond their boundaries and to determine how organizations can influence salient attitudes in their environments. The concluding chapter offers the reader a view of the future and suggests ideas for future research. Students, researchers, consultants, and organizational decision makers will find this a relevant, engaging, and thought-provoking resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Study 1 this research investigated research hypotheses based on the moderating role of the economic sector to job satisfaction/organizational commitment relationships, and especially to the forms of commitment and the facets of satisfaction - extrinsic satisfaction and intrinsic satisfaction. Overall, 618 employees successfully completed the questionnaires (258 from private sector companies and 360 from the public administration). Then, distinguishable organizational commitment profiles developed and constructed from the forms or constructs of commitment. Two different samples were used in Study 2 in order to test the relevant hypotheses - 1,119 employees from the private sector and 476 from the public sector. Study 3 used the concept of regulatory focus, where the two foci relate differently to forms of organizational commitment and these two states moderate the satisfaction/commitment relationship and furthermore, individuals develop four separable regulatory focus characters based on the two major regulatory foci. Moreover, the moderating intervention is crucially influenced by the employment status of the individuals. The research hypotheses developed in this part were tested through two samples of employees: 258 working in the private sector and 263 in the public sector. Study 4 examined the mediating role of job satisfaction on the organizational commitment/organizational citizenship behaviours relationship. It argued that job satisfaction mediates more strongly the relationship between these forms and loyal boosterism (one of the OCB dimensions). The relevant hypotheses were tested through a combined sample of 646 employees, equally drawn from the two sectors.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few years, there has been an increase in research conducted which relates to organizational commitment among the various industrial groups. Given the established importance of higher learning institutions (HLIs), it is not arguable/it cannot be denied that academics are one of the most important factors for an HLI to excel and flourish. It is observed that from the extensive research that is conducted, there are limited studies done using academic samples and this is especially so in the Klang Valley. This study is designed to explore the relationship between job satisfaction and pay satisfaction as it relates to organizational commitment among academics of HLIs in Klang Valley. Specifically, this study seeks to study the following: (1) the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment; (2) the relationship between pay satisfaction and organizational commitment; and (3) the difference in pay satisfaction between academics of public and private HLIs. Questionnaires were distributed to 300 participants who were recruited from public and private HLIs. Statistical analyses specifically regression, correlation and independent t-test is used to analyze the findings in the relationship of job satisfaction and pay satisfaction with organizational commitment. The findings show that there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment (r = 0.605) and between pay satisfaction and organizational commitment (r = 0.630). Results also indicated that the academics from the public institutions have higher pay satisfaction than the academics from private institutions. The results of the study have valuable implications for all involved in the leadership and management of Higher Education Division, college administration and educators themselves because educational organizations, like all other organizations, require constant monitoring to identify areas for possible change and development especially when workplace practices have been increasingly changing since the last few decades. Findings of this study would also be useful to Human Resource managers in determining an employees's worth by the market value of their labour.
