This book was released on 2008-05-05 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject Psychology - Work, Business, Organisation, University of Fribourg (Departement für Psychologie), language: English, abstract: The current paper investigates the relationship between Organizational Commitment, Organizational Identification and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. At the beginning, a short insight into the theoretical construct of these concepts is given to better understand them. Two empirical studies will support the idea that Organizational Commitment and Organizational Identification influence directly Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The findings of the first study show that the concepts of Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior translate to the Nepalese context. Furthermore, the positive linkage of Organizational Citizenship Behavior components to affective and normative commitment is supported. The second study affirms as well the strong relationship between Organizational Identification and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. It also reveals the validity of the relationship over time and the applicability on the team level. Furthermore, the indirect influence of Organizational Identification on organizational criteria mediated through Organizational Citizenship Behavior is proven. The findings of these two studies reveal the importance of identification and commitment for an organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effective functioning of a democratic society—including social, business, and political interactions—largely depends on trust. Yet trust remains a fragile and elusive resource in many of the organizations that make up society's building blocks. In their timely volume, Trust and Distrust in Organizations, editors Roderick M. Kramer and Karen S. Cook have compiled the most important research on trust in organizations, illuminating the complex nature of how trust develops, functions, and often is thwarted in organizational settings. With contributions from social psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, economists, and organizational theorists, the volume examines trust and distrust within a variety of settings—from employer-employee and doctor-patient relationships, to geographically dispersed work teams and virtual teams on the internet. Trust and Distrust in Organizations opens with an in-depth examination of hierarchical relationships to determine how trust is established and maintained between people with unequal power. Kurt Dirks and Daniel Skarlicki find that trust between leaders and their followers is established when people perceive a shared background or identity and interact well with their leader. After trust is established, people are willing to assume greater risks and to work harder. In part II, the contributors focus on trust between people in teams and networks. Roxanne Zolin and Pamela Hinds discover that trust is more easily established in geographically dispersed teams when they are able to meet face-to-face initially. Trust and Distrust in Organizations moves on to an examination of how people create and foster trust and of the effects of power and betrayal on trust. Kimberly Elsbach reports that managers achieve trust by demonstrating concern, maintaining open communication, and behaving consistently. The final chapter by Roderick Kramer and Dana Gavrieli includes recently declassified data from secret conversations between President Lyndon Johnson and his advisors that provide a rich window into a leader's struggles with problems of trust and distrust in his administration. Broad in scope, Trust and Distrust in Organizations provides a captivating and insightful look at trust, power, and betrayal, and is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the underpinnings of trust within a relationship or an organization.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the face of present global economic realism, organizations are compelled to change continuously. Organizations require employees who are prepared to work beyond their job descriptions. These employees often exert behaviors that go beyond their prescribed job obligations that improve the overall performance of the organization. These are the employees on whom the organization ought to focus retention efforts in order to ensure and sustain successful functioning of the workplace. The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of organizational commitment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in a telecommunication organization. The results of PLS path analysis revealed that normative commitment and continuance commitment have a significant impact on OCB, whereas affective commitment has no significant impact on OCB.

This book was released on 2012-07-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1.3, University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen, language: English, abstract: Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) und eine spezielle Ausprägung von OCB, die Beteiligung am KVP sind zukünftige erfolgsfaktoren und Qualifikationen, die ein durchschnittliches von einem erfolgreichen Unternehmen unterscheiden. Sie stellen den wichtigen Teil des human capitals dar, der in einer Zeit der Informationsgesellschaft und zahlreicher Lean-Strategien immer bedeutender und relevanter für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg eines Unternehmens wird. Die Begründung und Herleitung dieser Aussage wird zu Anfang dieser Arbeit unternommen. OCB bzw. die Beteiligung am KVP können jedoch nicht direkt beeinflusst oder gar eingefordert werden. Die organisationspsychologischen Konstrukte 'Organisationale Identifikation' und 'Organisationales Commitment' werden als wichtige Prediktoren für ein starkes OCB angenommen. Leider gibt es nur sehr wenige ganzheitliche Ansätze Identifikation und Commitment im Unternehmen systematisch zu stärken, monetäre und temporär begrenzte Bemühungen zeigen oft keine dauerhafte Wirkung; ein ganzheitlicher und langfristig beständiger Ansatz ist nötig. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist somit (a) zum einen der empirische Nachweis eines positiven Zusammenhangs zwischen OCB bzw. 'die Beteiligung der Mitarbeiter am KVP' und Identifikation bzw. Commitment. Zum anderen wird (b) aus den gefundenen Erkenntnissen ein ganzheitlicher Beratungsansatz entwickelt um über Identifikation und Commitment die Beteiligung am KVP zu erhöhen. Da eine Organisation, sowie Identifikation und Commitment multidimensionale Konstrukte sind, wird eine weitere Differenzierung in Dimensionen und Foci unternommen. Nach den theoretischen Erkenntnissen wird ein Unersuchungsmodell mit den für die Beteiligung am KVP relevanten Dimensionen und Foci erarbeitet. Mittels einer quantitativen schriftlichen Befragung im produktiven Bereich eines Unternehmens wird ermittelt, dass vor allem die affektiven und kognitiven Dimensionen positive Zusammenhänge mit der Beteiligung am KVP zeigen. Die Foci 'Arbeit', 'Produkt' und 'Unternehmen' erweisen sich als die wichtigsten Identifikationsobjekte, die besondere Bedeutung des Identifikationsobjektes 'Arbeit' sticht hervor. Interviews mit Experten aus dem Gebiet der Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie bestätigen die gefundenen empirischen Ergebnisse und geben erste gestalterische Hinweise für einen Beratungsansatz. Aus den gefundenen theoretischen und empirischen Erkenntnissen wird ein Beratungsansatz abgeleitet. Dieser beinhaltet 12 Segmente, die nach der klassischen Struktur eines Beratungsproduktes gegliedert sind. Ziel des Beratungsansatzes ist der strukturierte, bedarfsabhängige und systematische Aufbau von affektiver und kognitiver Identifikation und Commitment mit den Identifikationsobjekten Aufgabe, Produkt und Unternehmen. Das Konzept des Beratungsansatzes ist so aufgebaut, dass für ein anderes Ziel als der Erhöhung der Beteiligung am KVP andere relevante Identifikationsobjekte eingesetzt werden können. der entwickelte Fragebogen und die SPSS-Auswertungen sind im Anhang enthalten

This book was released on 2011 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological ownership as a phenomenon and construct attracts an increasing number of scholars in a variety of fields. This volume presents a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the psychological ownership literature with particular attention paid to the theory, research evidence, and comments on managerial applications. the authors address key elements that examine an employee's ownership feelings for his or her employing organization. the chapters address, among others, the following themes: the meaning of psychological ownership, the genesis of ownership feelings, the experiences and paths down which people travel that give rise to experiences of ownership, and the consequences (the personal and work outcomes) that stem from the sense of ownership. While the majority of the book is focused on feelings of ownership that exist at the individual-level, the authors introduce the construct of collective psychological ownership as well. This work acknowledges that teamwork has become increasingly commonplace in organizations and that like individuals, teams can come to a collective sense of ownership for a variety of targets within their work environment. the book closes by drawing upon the existing science of psychological ownership to provide a perspective on its applied (managerial) implications. This book will make a noteworthy addition to scholars' libraries: university libraries will also value it among their collections. Students of organizational psychology, management, organizational behavior, sociology and communication and their professors will find much of interest here.

This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: Very Good, Addis Ababa University (School of Psychology), course: Thesis, language: English, abstract: Organizations are paramount places to observe human behavior. Principally, when it comes to organizational citizenship behavior, the ultimate understanding is residing inside work establishments. The present study was dedicated to discerning the interconnections between employees extra-role behaviors and factors behind the realization of these actions. Based on that, the due emphasis was given to see the prediction capability of socio-demographic characteristics of employees, Organizational identification, Job involvement, Organizational justice dimensions on employees OCB & its dimensions in the Secretariat of the Ethiopian Parliament, as it is one of the major government organizations. The study followed a quantitative approach with correlational design. The data were collected using standardized measurement scales by taking 202 (N=417) employees as participants through probability sampling assumptions. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics corresponding Percentage, Mean, Man-Whitney & Wilcoxon tests, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation, MANOVA, Regression Analysis as well as Canonical Correlation Analysis. Giving that, participants did not generally vary by their socio-demographic characteristics in displaying OCB, but with the exception of their Age groups and Educational status to show Altruism & Conscientiousness patterns respectively. Work experience was also relatively a good predictor of employees overall OCB level. Organizational identification of employees was significantly correlated with overall OCB and Altruism, Conscientiousness, Courtesy & Civic-virtue dimensions; Job involvement was also significantly correlated with OCB & all the five dimensions; from Organizational justice dimensions, distributive justice was not significantly correlated with overall OCB of employees but with Altruism &Conscientiousness dimensions, Procedural & Interactional justice were significantly associated with overall OCB & Altruism, Conscientiousness, Courtesy, and Civic- Virtue. Overall, the proportion of variance explained by independent variables was found to be significantly fit to predict OCB at a different level. From the case in point, organizations are expected to be considerate of their employees’ psychological cohesion, involvement and fairness insights to enhance extra-role behaviors and succeed.

Download or read book Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Contextual Performance written by Walter C. Borman and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These articles describe ideas about contextual performance, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and similar patterns of behavior that have been developed by scholars working from very different research traditions. It seems that the different research traditions are converging on the same notion--that besides formal job requirements, other patterns of behavior are also critical for organizational effectiveness and survival. These other patterns of behavior have been relatively ignored until recently, but now scholars are trying to define them, determine exactly why and how they are important for organizations, and identify their antecedents. The results of these research efforts-- described by articles in this issue--will help to make it possible to develop new conceptual and practical tools for managing these important behaviors and in that way promote human performance and organizational effectiveness.
