Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on employee commitment to organizations has most often been cross-sectional in design. Although we have identified a number of antecedents of commitment, the processes through which employees become committed to organizations are still not well understood. The purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual framework of the commitment process. Organizational commitment is viewed as resulting from reciprocal relationships between behaviors and attitudes at work. The factors influencing the development of commitment are examined across three time periods relevant to the career of employees in organizations: pre-entry phase; early employment period; and middle and late career stages. Results from two previously unpublished longitudinal studies of the commitment process are presented and suggestions for future research are discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 2012 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Three-Component Model of organizational commitment (TCM) by Meyer and Allen (1991, 1997) is widely regarded as the most dominant model in organizational commitment research (Cohen, 2003, 2007). However, recent research by Solinger et al. (2008) questioned the legitimacy of the TCM as a general model of organizational commitment. More specifically, the authors criticized the TCM for grouping affective commitment as an attitude toward target with continuance and normative commitment as attitudes toward behaviors under one general label of attitudinal construct. Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA; Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980), Solinger et al. (2008) argued that we should consider organizational commitment strictly as an attitude toward the organization (i.e., affective commitment). Based on Eagly and Chaiken's (1993) composite attitude-behavior model, the current study tested the reconceptualization of organizational commitment as a unidimensional construct reflecting employees' attitudes toward the organization (i.e., affective commitment) in predicting several organizational behaviors (i.e., considerate voice, production deviance, and behavioral engagement). In addition, I also investigated whether these organizational behaviors could be better explained by adding different classes of behavioral expectancies (i.e., utilitarian, normative and self-identity expectancies) as antecedents. Finally, I tested the mediating roles of attitude toward behaviors in the relationship between affective commitment and three behavioral expectancies and the three organizational behaviors. A sample of 258 employees in a large-sized organization in China was obtained for this study. The results suggested that none of the hypotheses of the current study was supported by the evidence in the current study. In particular, affective commitment and three classes of behavioral expectancies did not significantly predict their corresponding behaviors. In addition, I also did not find the evidence for the indirect effects from affective commitment and the behavioral expectancies on the behaviors. Several alternative explanations were provided for the results. Among those, the lack of compatibility between affective commitment and the behaviors, the existence of moderators (e.g. national culture), the lack of necessary control to perform the behaviors successfully are key factors that might lead to the current findings. Although none of the hypotheses was supported, I found limited empirical supports for the reconceptualization of organizational commitment strictly as the attitude toward the organization and that organizational behaviors could be better explained by adding appropriate behavioral expectancies to the model (Solinger et al., 2008). Finally, theoretical and practical implications of the current study as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Book Synopsis Toward a "two-decision Theory" of Organizational Conflict and Commitment by : Howard M. Vollmer
Download or read book Toward a "two-decision Theory" of Organizational Conflict and Commitment written by Howard M. Vollmer and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-decision theory might explain, in part at least, why the attempts to predict organizational productivity and commitment from data on individuals (by means of 'psychological testing' or otherwise) at time of hire or organizational entry are often unsuccessful. If an individual has not yet made a decision to stay in the organization and if this decision will be most influenced by what happens to him during his next few years of going through an adjustment period, it would seem to me to be more feasible to attempt to predict the course of later performance from measures taken during this adjustment period, rather than at the time of initial hire. Finally, we might speculate on the degree to which an individual's making the 'second decision' -- the decision to stay -- is affected by his ability to have an impact upon his organizational environment, to change it in accord with his own goals and values, or at least to carve out a place in which he can express his individuality within the organization. Certainly this is an important factor among scientists, among whom autonomy in professional matters is so highly valued. But in the future this may also become increasingly important among other categories of organizational participants in a democratic pluralistic society.

Book Synopsis Problems and Solutions in Human Assessment by : Richard D. Goffin
Download or read book Problems and Solutions in Human Assessment written by Richard D. Goffin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of individual differences has generated shockwaves affecting sociology, education, and a number of other behavioral sciences as well as the fields of management and organizational behavior. In covering the assessment of individual differences, this book pays tribute to the interests and activities that Douglas N. Jackson has incorporated into his career as a psychologist. He continues to be a leader in putting academic findings to practical use. He has also inspired generations of students with his mastery of complex concepts and as a personal example of the ability to balance several simultaneous areas of research. Consistent with the focus of Jackson's research, the theme of this book will be how the use of deductive, construct-driven strategies in the assessment of individual differences leads to benefits in terms of the applicability of the assessment instruments and the clarity of the conclusions that can be drawn from the research.

Book Synopsis The Organization Man by : William H. Whyte
Download or read book The Organization Man written by William H. Whyte and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded as one of the most important sociological and business commentaries of modern times, The Organization Man developed the first thorough description of the impact of mass organization on American society. During the height of the Eisenhower administration, corporations appeared to provide a blissful answer to postwar life with the marketing of new technologies—television, affordable cars, space travel, fast food—and lifestyles, such as carefully planned suburban communities centered around the nuclear family. William H. Whyte found this phenomenon alarming. As an editor for Fortune magazine, Whyte was well placed to observe corporate America; it became clear to him that the American belief in the perfectibility of society was shifting from one of individual initiative to one that could be achieved at the expense of the individual. With its clear analysis of contemporary working and living arrangements, The Organization Man rapidly achieved bestseller status. Since the time of the book's original publication, the American workplace has undergone massive changes. In the 1990s, the rule of large corporations seemed less relevant as small entrepreneurs made fortunes from new technologies, in the process bucking old corporate trends. In fact this "new economy" appeared to have doomed Whyte's original analysis as an artifact from a bygone day. But the recent collapse of so many startup businesses, gigantic mergers of international conglomerates, and the reality of economic globalization make The Organization Man all the more essential as background for understanding today's global market. This edition contains a new foreword by noted journalist and author Joseph Nocera. In an afterword Jenny Bell Whyte describes how The Organization Man was written.
