This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in the organizational psychology and organizational behaviour literature has identified the existence of multiple dimensions of OC and found different relationships between these dimensions and important organizational factors and outcomes. In an attempt to add to the efforts to clarify these relationships, this study focuses on the relationships between organizational factors such as human resources management (HRM) practices, leadership and trust, and organizational commitment within an academic environment. A sample of 246 employees from eleven South African institutions of higher learning was used in the study. The sample was made up of 67.88% respondents from Technikons and 28.86% from Universities. Females accounted for 45.12% of the sample while males were 54.51%. The average age of respondents was 41.9 years. ANOVA was used to determine the relationship between demographic factors and organizational commitment. The results of the ANOVAs showed no significant relationship between the demographic factors and organizational commitment. The only significant relationship was found between the type of academic institution and total organizational commitment. Tukey's studentized range test indicated significant differences in the means of respondents from full-time residential institutions and those from institutions with a combination of fulltime residential and part-time non-residential students. Respondents from the later type of institutions had reported more total organizational commitment. Pearson's Product Moment Coefficient was used to determine the inter-relationships between the total scales and subscales of the different variables. Significant inter-correlations were found between trust and HRM, trust and organizational commitment, leadership style and trust, and leadership style and HRM. Multiple Regression Analysis indicated weak predictions of organizational commitment by the different independent variables. Structural equations models could not be accepted as they showed weak fits with the data. In light of these findings, suggestions are provided for academic institution managers to evaluate the role of HRM practices, leadership style and trust in influencing commitment to the organization and organizational trust. Suggestions are also made as to how leadership style and HRM practices can affect the role of trust in the development of organizational commitment, and how OC research can provide practical results for academic institutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the effect of leadership on organizational outcomes and summarizes the current research findings in the field. It addresses the need for inclusive and interpretive studies in the field in order to interpret leadership literature and suggest new pathways for further studies. Appropriately, a meta-analysis approach is used by the contributors to show the big picture to the researchers by analyzing and combining the findings from different independent studies. In particular, the editors compile various studies examining the relationship between the leadership and thirteen organizational outcomes separately. The philosophy behind this book is to direct future research and practices rather than addressing the limits of current studies.

Attributed idealized influence (IIA), inspirational motivation (IM), intellectual stimulation (IS), individual consideration (IC), active management-by-exception (MBEA), and transactional leadership predicted continuance commitment. Intellectual stimulation (IS) and passive management-by-exception (MBEP) predicted normative commitment. Transformational leadership predicted all commitment types (affective, continuance, and normative). Although a slight linear relationship was discovered, there was no statistical significance between the variables of leadership style and organizational commitment of employees in faith-based organizations.

Download or read book Trust and Commitment in Organizations written by Odessa Darrough and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, many employees are skeptical of trust and commitment in the workplace. HR professionals work diligently to build and maintain the kind of organizational culture that instills trust and commitment among employees. Organizational effectiveness arises from the communication of high performance workers engaged in trusting and committed relationships. However, few management strategies specifically address the interrelationship of organizational trust and organizational commitment in the workforce. This book answers the research question What is the relationship between organizational trust and organizational commitment in the work force? Answering this question is an essential first step for developing a strategy for increased organizational effectiveness as workers communicate and learn from one another through trust and commitment. As HR functions attempt to add value, issues such as the impact of trust on internalization, monitoring and evaluation processes and criteria become critical to the company's bottom line success. The book provides evidences that revived trust is likely to be enhanced by organizational commitment, which leads to improved performance.

Download or read book The Relationship of Organizational Trust and Job Satisfaction written by Phuong Callaway and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues of trust and job satisfaction have taken on a greater strategic importance in organizations since the post-Enron scandal. Without trust or the lack of it among organizational members and between management and employees, organizational communication, knowledge management, organizational performance, and involvement may tend to close down. Trust has been identified as a crucial ingredient for organizational effectiveness. A linkage between trust and job satisfaction in private organizations has been established by researchers; however, in the U.S. federal government, the linkage between organizational trust and job satisfaction has not yet been studied. This study, therefore, explores the relationship between organizational trust and job satisfaction in seven selected small, medium, and large U.S. federal agencies. This study indicated that there are no significant differences between males and females, however, significant differences in attitudes between supervisors and nonsupervisors were found regarding what good communications meant and how they interpret the question, "top management truly listens to employees' concerns." Nonsupervisors tend to disagree more frequently than supervisors. The study also found that there are significant association between gender, age group, job location, position, and occupation and agency. The differences in attitudes between supervisors and nonsupervisors about what would make communications seem good and what would contribute to the belief that top management listens to employees' concerns lead to the conclusion that there is a disconnection among organizational members and among management and employees. This disconnection may lead to mistrust, job dissatisfaction and the difficulty in attracting and retention of human talents.
