This book was released on 1979 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study investigated the relationships between various individual and organizational variables and perceptions of role stress. Role stress can be of two types: (1) role conflict, which results when an individual has incompatible demands made upon him; and (2) role ambiguity, which exists when an individual is uncertain of what is expected of him. Questionnaires designed to measure role stress, organizational climate, job characteristics, values, managerial practices, and organizational effectiveness were administered to a sample of 1607 employees drawn from all hierarchical levels at four Public Works Centers (PWCs) in the U.S. (including Pearl Harbor), the PWC in Yokosuka, Japan; and the PWC at Subic Bay, Philippines. Results revealed that (1) workers perceived more role ambiguity than supervisory personnel; (2) perceptions of role stress differed across cultures, but differences were not related to specific cultural values; (3) role stress was related to organizational climate, job characteristics, and managerial and supervisory practices; (4) role ambiguity was more strongly related to organizational climate and general job characteristics, whereas the role conflict was more strongly related to specific job characteristics; (5) role ambiguity, unlike role conflict, was a substantial contributor in predicting intrinsic satisfaction; and (6) role ambiguity was related to workers' perceptions of work center performance.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fields of organizational climate and organizational culture have co-existed for several decades with very little integration between the two. In Organizational Climate and Culture: An Introduction to Theory, Research, and Practice, Mark G. Ehrhart, Benjamin Schneider, and William H. Macey break down the barriers between these fields to encourage a broader understanding of how an organization’s environment affects its functioning and performance. Building on in-depth reviews of the development of both the organizational climate and organizational culture literatures, the authors identify the key issues that researchers in each field could learn from the other and provide recommendations for the integration of the two. They also identify how practitioners can utilize the key concepts in the two literatures when conducting organizational cultural inquiries and leading change efforts. The end product is an in-depth discussion of organizational climate and culture unlike anything that has come before that provides unique insights for a broad audience of academics, practitioners, and students.

Download or read book The Fulfilling Workplace written by Ronald J. Burke and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is very easy for organizations to ignore or overlook the impact of social and commercial change-of increased pressure to deliver profit (above all else) and of transformation in the ways in which we are now working-on the mental health and, consequently, the performance of their employees. And yet there is plenty of evidence that in many workplaces, performance is down, stress is up and professional employees are struggling to balance their home and work lives. This collection, while looking at individuals, places the spotlight on organizational initiatives to support the development of attitudes, values, character and behaviors in employees. The aim of these initiatives is to increase our resilience to those experiences and events which impact on performance. There is a particular focus on managerial and professional jobs where employee discretion and commitment are critical. The Fulfilling Workplace extends the themes developed in early titles in the Psychological and Behavioral Aspects of Risk Series deeper into organizations; to explore the organization's role in coming to grips both with human frailties and toxic workplaces-both destructive to individual and organizational health.

The last couple of decade’s researches has established the complexity of the construct, and places the individual stress experience within a larger organizational context of people’s relation to their job. Recently, the work on role stress has expanded nationally and internationally and has led to new conceptual models. The focus on role stress and its relation with mental health; value, and the coping strategies of individual promise to yield new perspectives on interventions to alleviate the stress. Earlier studies showed that the contribution of various aspects of role stress is causing adverse effects on mental health of employees and were found different from one study sample to another. In light of the above study, a need is felt to investigate the relationship between role stress and mental health among Nepalese civil servants working in different positions. The Nepalese political culture and unionism are also the major determinants of role stress. Government authority should focus on visioning and developing strategies in advance to make the government functionaries effective and efficient by conducting proper research in the government system of Nepal in relation to role stress and its components. Therefore, the present study of stress and mental health of government employees is in relation with their role stress and mental health. The research is quantitative in its approach. For the purpose of the study, 284 Nepalese civil servants were selected randomly. The result, on the basis of research hypothesis, showed that class III officers reported higher level of stress than the class I and class II ones, but there was no significant difference of stress among the I, II and III class officers. So, it indicated that level of stress in class II officer was similar to that of I and III class officer because of their duel nature of work.

Download or read book Personality and Organizations written by Benjamin Schneider and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-04-13 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personality has always been a predictor of performance. This book of original chapters is designed to fulfill a need for a contemporary treatment of human personality in work organizations. Bringing together top scholars in the field, this book provides a comprehensive study of the role of personality in organizational life. Utilizing a personality perspective, scholars review the role of personality in groups, job satisfaction, leadership, stress, motivation, organizational climate and culture, and vocational interests. In addition, the book looks at more classical topics in personality at work, including the measurement of personality, personality-performance linkages, faking, and person-organization fit. Complete in both conceptual material and reviews of the literature across the variety of domains in which personality plays a role at work, this handbook borrows the idea that personality plays out in many ways in organizations and not just a correlate of task performance. The editors believe that this book supports this belief--that personality in its many conceptualizations is a useful lens through which to shed understanding on the broadest array of contemporary topics in industrial/organizational psychology and organizational behavior. Graduate students and researchers interested in the contributions of personality to almost any topic in which they may have interest will find it valuable.
