Book Organizational Commitment  The Case Of Unrewarded Behavior

Download or read book Organizational Commitment The Case Of Unrewarded Behavior written by Aviad Bar-haim and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-04-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational commitment (OC) is typically thought of in mainstream research as a beneficial behaviour, with employers mutually rewarding employees for their labor. However, in recent decades, there have been many signs that the benefits of OC cannot be taken for granted. The world of work is changing, with organizations downsizing, outsourcing labor activities and restructuring into leaner entities.Adding to this is the trend whereby almost everywhere, organizations are systematically striving to avoid long-term commitment to their workforce, by resorting to atypical, non-standard jobs (such as part-time work, temporary or agency employment, and other types of insecure jobs). This new regime of employment is an escape from organizational commitment and a tendency to avoid long-term relations.In this book, the author challenges the mainstream research on OC. Surveying the rise and fall of the idea of OC among corporate managers and employees, in an era of escape from responsibility and commitment, the author redefines OC as unique, unrewarded behavior of a minority of employees in times of trouble for their employing organization. These employees, who have alternatives in the labor market, continue to stay unrewarded with their organizations despite their ability to leave for a more secure and rewarding workplace.Presenting this new definition of OC, the author addresses theoretical and empirical flaws in the current concept, while returning to an idea of commitment that is more widely used in social sciences: Commitment as a guarantee of fulfilment of obligations, which are neither motivating nor pleasant, but necessary.

This book was released on 2020-12-04 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1.1 Background Every organization is facing challenges in the market. Growing competition opened the market, increases preparedness and dynamism of the environment. Human resource is an important aspect to meet such challenges. Competent and skillful human resource can only help to increase the performance of the organization as per the need of the market. Training is an important tool to prepare HR for wining the challenging market and grabbing opportunities of the market by providing skill and knowledge. Training helps to increase the skill and competencies of the staff. Training refers to the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies as a results of teaching practical knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies (Reilly, 1979). The current commercially competitive environment compels senior management into addressing both positive and negative aspects of their organizations in attempts to excel in all areas. Organizations are constantly engaged in activities aimed at increasing access to resources, including manpower, material, money and methods, that will allow them to compete successfully in a changing environment, and to plan and design activities to accomplish the perceived goals of the organization. Growing organizations constantly seek to improve program implementation, to develop new resources or address that needs in the community. There is a need for a systematic process for creating and sustaining improved performance that can react rapidly to changes in the environment. Many organizations undertake periodic assessment of their performance to ensure effective and efficient utilization of resources, to be in line with advances in technology, to meet societal needs and to ensure achievement of the organization's goals. Management experts have developed various tools that help organizations to evaluate their performance in their functional areas with respect to time, and benchmark their performance with industry standards.

Book Analyzing the Organizational Justice  Trust  and Commitment Relationship in a Public Organization

Download or read book Analyzing the Organizational Justice Trust and Commitment Relationship in a Public Organization written by Paul Kaneshiro and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational commitment is widely described in the management and organizational behavior literature as a key factor in the relationship between individuals and organizations. Researchers (Fiorito, Bozeman, Young, & Meurs, 2007; Meyer, Allen, & Smith, 1993) contend that organizational commitment may lead to beneficial consequences such as increased effectiveness, performance, and productivity, and decreased turnover and absenteeism at the individual and organizational levels. Researchers of public administration (Dobel, 1990; Perry & Wise, 1990; Romzek, 1990) have noted that more empirical studies of employee commitment are needed to understand its motivational base in the public sector. In the current study, two antecedent variables, organizational justice and organizational trust, were examined to determine their degree of correlation with organizational commitment among a sample of 70 employees in a single public organization. This study was based on a quantitative research method and purposive sampling using a 65-item survey instrument comprised of Beugre's (1998a) Organizational Justice Scale, Nyhan and Marlowe's (1997) Organizational Trust Inventory, and Meyer and Allen's (2004) Employee Commitment Survey. Results of descriptive tests showed that participants displayed moderate levels of organizational justice, trust, and commitment. Mean scores for organizational commitment showed affective commitment as the highest, followed by continuance and normative commitment. Bivariate correlation and multivariate regression statistical tests showed that organizational justice and organizational trust were significantly related to organizational commitment, especially affective and normative commitment. However, no significant relationship was found between justice and trust with continuance commitment. The relationship between organizational justice and trust was significant, more specifically in the correlation between procedural, interactional, and systemic justice, and interpersonal and system trust. The current research adds to existing resources on organizational commitment in the public sector that managers may use to foster and sustain long-term organizational performance. The findings also add to the existing body of knowledge on the correlation of the organizational justice, organizational trust, and organizational commitment variables, as few studies (Kwon, 2001) have combined all three variables in a single study in the public sector.

The instrument, developed by Porter, is called the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). Based on a series of studies among 2,563 employees in nine divergent organizations, cross-validated evidence of predictive, convergent, and discriminant validity emerged for the instrument. Moreover, satisfactory test-retest reliabilities and internal consistency reliabilities were found. Norms for males and females are presented based on the available sample. Possible instrument limitations and future research needs on the topic are reviewed. (Author).
