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.

It provides a path forward for successful transformation and performance improvement at personal, group and collective levels.

It addresses the science and craft as well as the intricacies of how to improve workplace performance. Van Tiem, Moseley, and Dessinger have incorporated into this work the best available research on the Certified Performance Technology (CPT) standards and process.” —JAMES A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If organizations are to survive and achieve long-run viability, they must be effective. Yet organizational effectiveness evaluation has been limited by a variety of factors-especially the ambiguity surrounding the concept of organizational effectiveness itself. The long-established approaches used by organizational theorists to define organizational effectiveness have emphasized different perspectives with respect to the organization type and degrees of importance of the various constituency groups comprising the organization. Moreover, definitions of the organization and organizational effectiveness have focused primarily on the dissimilarities among organizations and their constituencies, conceding efforts to identify commonalities. This has led to increased fragmentation of the concept of organizational effectiveness and weakened its utility. Because of its central importance to both researchers and management practitioners, among many other organizational participants, the development of a practical tool that overcomes the deficiencies and challenges in current approaches to organizational effectiveness evaluation is of theoretical and practical value. This dissertation addresses the lack of satisfactory approaches for assessing organizational effectiveness and offers an alternative framework using an evaluation checklist. The Organizational Effectiveness Evaluation Checklist (OEC) outlines a comprehensive process for evaluating organizational effectiveness that specifically addresses the values issues with its inclusion of universal criteria of merit. Two separate investigations were conducted to empirically validate the OEC. The first investigation sought input from subject matter experts and targeted users regarding the merit of the OEC. The second applied the revised OEC in a real-world evaluation to assess the effectiveness of a for-profit organization. Both investigations were keyed to a common set of criteria to evaluate and improve the checklist. The original OEC performed well with respect to its pertinence to organizational effectiveness evaluation, clarity, fairness, and sound theory. The most significant structural change made to the OEC was intended to facilitate the efficient use of the checklist and increase its parsimony. Implications for organizations and the professional practice of evaluation are discussed, along with opportunities for future exploration.

This book was released on 2018-07-13 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely acknowledged that many healthcare, behavioral health, and social service organizations provide less-than-optimal services and that the challenge of improving services depends on successfully changing organizational culture and climate. However, there are almost no organizational-level strategies that have been tested with randomized controlled trials. Building Cultures and Climates for Effective Human Services addresses the need for evidence-based organizational strategies for improving human service quality and outcomes by uniquely describing the authors' own case examples, nationwide studies, and randomized controlled trials to explain how organizational culture and climate can be assessed and changed. The two authors use their decades of research and practice experience in assessing and changing human service organizations to explain how organizations can improve the services they provide using the authors' ARC model, which effectively removes service barriers and supports the implementation of evidence-based practices and other innovations. The book also blends case examples with research from nationwide studies, regional experiments, and randomized controlled trials to explain the ARC model of organizational effectiveness and how it works to improve services. It provides a balance between theory, empirical research, and actual case examples to help researchers, organizational consultants, administrators, and service providers gain a practical understanding of how culture and climate affect services and how they can be improved. Furthermore, the text describes the three ARC strategies, each composed of multiple elements, to: (1) embed key organizational principles, (2) implement core organizational component tools, and (3) apply mental models to alter shared reasoning and beliefs that affect success. No other organizational-level strategies for improving services have been so well documented and tested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The text begins with a discussion on the definition of organizational effectiveness and its various models, and then goes on to explain the concepts of management by objectives, total quality management, business process reengineering, and six sigma, which are so crucial for organizational effectiveness. Expectations of customers are invariably increasing and quality-products are in demand more than ever before. Globalization and competition between companies have accentuated the problem. To fulfil customer aspirations and adhere to world class standards, organizations need to modify their structural framework. And so the text devotes a separate chapter each to such concepts as virtual organization, corporate governance, and developing collaborations. The book concludes with an emphasis on the role of motivation, leadership and team building in organization effectiveness. Case study given at the end of each chapter illustrates the concepts discussed and lends a practical flavour to the text. The book is designed for the postgraduate students of management. It would also be useful for the executives who want to implement change in their organization to be competitive in the market, and those who wish to keep pace with the changing business environment.

Book excerpt: The perspective that informs this important book is that every evaluation of a capacity development effort should itself contribute to the capacity development effort and ultimately to the organization’s performance. This is a revolutionary idea in evaluation. With the idea have come the questions: Can it be done? And, if it is done, what will be the consequences? This book elucidates and deepens the idea, shows it can be done, and examines the consequences, both intended and unintended, of engaging in capacity development evaluation

Book excerpt: Could your organization be a better place to work? What effect would that have on the quality and quantity of what gets done? This book examines the concept of organizational climate ('what it feels like to work here') in a readable and accessible way without sacrificing academic rigour. Using case studies to illustrate the causes and consequences of various climate factors, it makes practical suggestions for how improvements can be made - to everyone's benefit. Building on current research, this book shows how perceptions of climate arise, the effects they can have on performance, and how managers can influence these perceptions and apply their understanding to improve their own and their people's effectiveness.

Download or read book Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment written by Michael Harrison and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1998-07-23 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment presents sharp-image diagnosis, a distinctive approach to organizational consultation and planned change, that reflects current research and theorizing about organizational change and effectiveness. The authors draw on multiple analytical frames to produce empirically grounded models of sources of ineffectiveness and forces for change, showing how consultants, managers, and applied researchers can break free of unproductive practices and ways of thinking to avoid uncritical adoption of management fads. They offer workable solutions to critical problems and demonstrate ways to meet organizational challenges like market downturns, technological change, and alliances with other organizations. Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment covers diagnosis and assessment of work groups, organizations, and whole systems. This volume develops analytical approaches for problem solving and strategy formation in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Diagnosis of public policy issues, like assessments of the effectiveness of health systems, is also addressed. Many of the models and techniques contribute to assessing the changing nature of the workplace, examining organizational decline and other life-cycle transitions; gendering; change and diversity in organizational culture and in workforce composition; the spread of new forms of work organization, including teams, flat hierarchies, and networks; new uses of information technology; and mergers and alliances among organizations. Organizational Diagnosis and Assessment will be invaluable to advanced students, consultants, and applied behavioral scientists in social sciences, management, social work, organizational and industrial psychology, organizational sociology, nursing, and public administration.
