Book Examining Predictors of Organizational Commitment

Download or read book Examining Predictors of Organizational Commitment written by Nancy Corinne Rice and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examined the influence of eight dimensions of social climate on employees' organizational commitment in a juvenile justice setting. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of social climate on employees' commitment to their facility and the organization as a whole, while controlling both individual and organizational characteristics. This study provides a theoretical basis for the understanding of organizational commitment grounded in the Social Exchange theory and theory of Reciprocity, as well as an overview of the organizational commitment literature. This cross-sectional study examined the effects of individual characteristics, organizational characteristics, and dimensions of social climate including: (a) Quality of Supervision, (b) Communication (Facility and DJJ), (c) Training (Support of Training, Cross Training, DJJ Academy Attendance, Participation in Training Events), (d) Job-Related Stress, (e) Organizational Climate, (f) Cooperation and Integration, (g) Co-Worker Support, and (h) Likelihood of Assault/Perceived Dangerousness on employee commitment to the facility and their overall organization. Using hierarchical multiple regression, results indicated that social climate variables accounted for a significant amount of variance in both Commitment to the Facility and Commitment to DJJ (organization) after controlling for individual and organizational characteristics. Findings indicate the presence of two foci of commitment among juvenile justice employees: Commitment to Facility and Commitment to DJJ.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Climate and Culture

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Climate and Culture written by Karen M. Barbera and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Climate and Culture presents the breadth of topics from Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior through the lenses of organizational climate and culture. The Handbook reveals in great detail how in both research and practice climate and culture reciprocally influence each other. The details reveal the many practices that organizations use to acquire, develop, manage, motivate, lead, and treat employees both at home and in the multinational settings that characterize contemporary organizations. Chapter authors are both expert in their fields of research and also represent current climate and culture practice in five national and international companies (3M, McDonald's, the Mayo Clinic, PepsiCo and Tata). In addition, new approaches to the collection and analysis of climate and culture data are presented as well as new thinking about organizational change from an integrated climate and culture paradigm. No other compendium integrates climate and culture thinking like this Handbook does and no other compendium presents both an up-to-date review of the theory and research on the many facets of climate and culture as well as contemporary practice. The Handbook takes a climate and culture vantage point on micro approaches to human issues at work (recruitment and hiring, training and performance management, motivation and fairness) as well as organizational processes (teams, leadership, careers, communication), and it also explicates the fact that these are lodged within firms that function in larger national and international contexts.

Book Hybridity in Contemporary Commercial Organizations

Download or read book Hybridity in Contemporary Commercial Organizations written by Ijeoma Jacklyn Okpanum and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Times of extensive institutional pressure challenge the existence of commercial organizations as entities that reproduce a single coherent market-orientated institutional template to achieve effectiveness. In tune with pressure from changing markets, contemporary commercial organizations adopt various combinations of skills, templates, and processes for new sources of competitive advantage. At a conceptual level, hybridity embraces the notion that organizations may embody multiple templates, logics or values to achieve effective organizational performance. However, at a practical level, hybridity presents tensions, inconsistencies and contradictions for these organizations; a state of affairs that could have adverse negative consequences for employees’ behaviour and trust in the organization. This book offers an exploration of individual-level responses to logics multiplicity for all those interested in the future of commercial organizations.
