Download or read book Measuring Job Characteristics Relationships written by Aneel Kumar and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many theoretical studies as well as empirical investigations have proved that a well designed job leads towards motivated and satisfied employees. The focus of this research was to determine the job satisfaction and motivational level of the employees of banking sector of Pakistan through the application of job characteristics model given by Hackman & Oldham (1975). Empirical analysis techniques such as correlations and multiple regressions results showed that job characteristics are positively and significantly related to the personal outcomes: e.g.: general satisfaction, internal work motivation, growth satisfaction. The psychological states could not be proved as mediator between the job characteristics and personal outcomes. However importance of psychological states cannot be ignored. Regression coefficients of psychological states also showed the significant amount of variance explained by psychological states. The growth need strength could also not be proved as moderator. Overall the implications of this research can be very helpful for designing the motivating and satisfying jobs for the banking sector employees.

Download or read book Job Characteristics Personal Interests and Response Disposition of Incumbents as Related to Job Satisfaction written by Coenraad J. Calitz and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study deals with the relationships between job satisfaction and the following characteristics of the job and/or the incumbent: (1) Job characteristics as reflected by job dimension scores and work quality dimensions, both being based on the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ); (2) job-related interests expressed by job incumbents, as measured by the Activity Preference Questionnaire (JAPQ); (3) the 'match' between an incumbent's job characteristics and his expressed job interests; (4) general affect, measured by a response disposition scale. Data were obtained from 407 workers in 29 jobs in two telephone companies and for the 9 management and 20 non-management jobs. The above-named predictors were used in stepwise regression analyses to predict 'work' and total satisfaction as measured by the Job Description Index (JDI). In addition, the effect of the response disposition was partialled out from the work satisfaction scores of the combined sample.
Download or read book Taking the Measure of Work written by Dail L. Fields and published by IAP. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a handbook for people who want to assure the use of reliable and valid questionnaires for collecting information about organizations. It significantly reduces the time and effort required for obtaining validated multi-question measures of aspects of organizational ‘health’ such as employee job satisfaction, organizational commitment, organizational justice, and workplace behaviors. It helps users in measuring some factors underlying employee perceptions of work such as job characteristics, role ambiguity or conflict, job stress, and the extent to which employees believe their values and those of the organization are congruent. All the measures in the book have been used and tested in research studies published in the 1990’s. In addition, all the measures describe the extent and types of reliability and validity tests that have been completed, a feature that organizational researchers should find particularly useful. All in all, this book is a handy tool to increase the efficiency of researchers, consultants, managers, or organizational development specialists in obtaining reliable and valid information about how employees view their jobs and organizations.

Download or read book Exchange and Power in Social Life written by Peter Blau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his landmark study of exchange and power in social life, Peter M. Blau contributes to an understanding of social structure by analyzing the social processes that govern the relations between individuals and groups. The basic question that Blau considers is: How does social life become organized into increasingly complex structures of associations among humans.This analysis, first published in 1964, represents a pioneering contribution to the sociological literature. Blau uses concepts of exchange, reciprocity, imbalance, and power to examine social life and to derive the more complex processes in social structure from the simpler ones. The principles of reciprocity and imbalance are used to derive such processes as power, changes in group structure; and the two major forces that govern the dynamics of complex social structures: the legitimization of organizing authority of increasing scope and the emergence of oppositions along different lines producing conflict and change.

Download or read book The Causal Relationship Between Job Characteristics Organizational Support Stress and Performance written by Sahar Hosseini and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Job stress is a common occurrence and of the utmost concern for management (Avey, Luthans, & Jensen, 2009). Canadian employees report workplace stress as a primary cause of mental health concerns which can subsequently impact workplace productivity and job performance (Mental Health Commission of Canada, 2019). In addition, the novel Coronavirus has had several negative consequences on people including for example the forced closure of work which has resulted in financial, social and health-related problems in part due to the consequences of stress (Brooks et al., 2020; Hossain, Sultana, & Purohit, 2020; Probst, Humer, Stippl, & Pieh, 2020; Sharma et al., 2020). Sports organizations are their employees are certainly not immune to the deleterious effects of stress (c.f., MacIntosh & Burton, 2019). Consequently, one of the management considerations to attenuate for stress is known as job characteristics (c.f., Hackman & Oldham, 1976). Hackman and Oldham (1976) developed the job characteristics theory, which can be used to understand the relationship between job characteristics, job design with various outcomes of interests such as performance. They suggested five characteristics of the job (i.e., skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback) that influenced personal and work-related outcomes (Hackman & Oldham, 1976). Research has shown that when employees are faced with stressful conditions and high job demands, moral and economic support from the organization is needed (Krishnan & Mary, 2012). Organizational support theory (OST) proposes that employees form a general perception and belief concerning how the organizational management values their contributions and cares about their well-being (Eisenberger et al., 1986; Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002). According to OST, such perceptions could have considerable effects on work outcomes (Eisenberger & Stinglhamber, 2011; Rhoades & Eisenberger, 2002), employees' work attitudes and behaviors including feelings of stress (Kurtessis et al., 2015). The purpose of this study was to investigate the causal relationship between job characteristics, perceived organizational support, job stress, and job performance. This research was conducted on the employees within the sports sectors in Canada (N = 146) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a structural equation model (SEM), this study describes the relationships which exist based upon validated existing measures, specifically: Job Characteristics questionnaires (Morgeson & Humphrey, 2006), Perceived Organizational Support (SPOS) short version questionnaire (Eisenberger, Cummings, Armeli, & Lynch, 1997), Job Stress Scale (Parker & DeCotiis, 1983) and Williams and Anderson's job performance questionnaire (Williams & Anderson, 1991). The results of the study confirm that job characteristics components can decrease overall job stress and improve job performance amongst sports employees even during a pandemic. Moreover, there is a significant impact between the level of organizational support and job stress. Specifically, when organizational support increases, job stress will be reduced. This study contributes to the extant sport management literature within organizational behavior and provides an account of the importance for management to take a person-centered approach, particularly during high-stress times such as the Covid-19 Pandemic.
