The Research of Organizational Citizenship Behavior for Contracted Employees and Formal Employees in the Legislative Yuan¡ÐThe Moderating Effect of Organizational Justice

Huang, Shu-fen 30 August 2006 (has links)
The Research of Organizational Citizenship Behavior for Contracted Employees and Formal Employees in the Legislative Yuan¡ÐThe Moderating Effect of Organizational Justice Abstract The organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is altruistic behavior beyond formal norms performed by members of an organization. Empirically, it has been established that OCB serves to lubricate within-organizational interactions, enhance organizational performance, improve service quality as well as customer satisfaction, and helps to prevent members from leaving the organization. Given these facts, OCB is especially important to the service-oriented public sector. Up to this stage, however, we have seen relatively few local discussions on how OCB can be affected by employment status, and even less on the moderating variables that influence the relationship between OCB and employment status. The purpose of this research is to study differences in organizational citizenship behavior between contracted and formal employees in the Legislative Yuan. Furhtermore, the study tries to explore how organizational justice moderates the impact employment status has on organizational citizenship behavior. The major findings of this study are as following: (1) Relative to formal employees, contracted employees are less conscientious,but not significantly different in the ¡§en-teamed¡¨, ¡§loyalty¡¨ and ¡§enthusiasm¡¨ variables. (2) The moderating effect of organizational justice is obvious. There are significant differences between contracted and formal employees in their ¡§en-team¡¨, ¡§conscientiousness¡¨, ¡§loyalty¡¨ and ¡§enthusiasm¡¨. Contracted employees scored lower than formal employees in these variables. Key words : Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Employment Status, Organizational Justice, Distributive justice, Formal procedural justice, Interactional justice

The main purpose of the study was to investigate the influences of transformational leadership on organizational citizenship behaviors. The second purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of job satisfaction and organizational commitment on the relationship transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors. A survey was conducted in a public bank with 148 participants. The employees rated the items that measured transformational leadership, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior.

For this purpose, six different public institutions in Ankara and Izmir are selected. A total of 288 white-collar public employees filled out the questionnaire where one third of the participants label themselves as being exposed to workplace bullying behavior in the last six months. As hypothesized, findings support the view that workplace bullying experience plays a significant negative role in organizational justice and citizenship behavior perceptions after controlling the significant effect of demographic variables. Besides, within this context, the ultimate effect of bullying on employees is bifurcated in terms of whether an individual has either target or bystander status.

In the extant literature, it is possible to find many studies focusing on antecedents of OCB, both cognitive factors and affective factors. However, previous research made limited contribution to the literature, since it did not focus on an integrative model covering both cognitive and affective factors.

Following previous literature, justice perceptions and mood states of employees were taken as cognitive and affective factors respectively. Main purpose of this study is to see the individual influence of justice perceptions and positive mood states on OCB, while also testing a possible mediating role of justice perceptions between positive mood states and OCB.

Arikan, Elif 01 September 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Organizational citizenship behaviors are extra-role behaviors that are neither enforced on the basis of formal role obligations nor guarantee compensation such as promotion or salary. Previous researches focused on organizational commitment as an antecedent and a predictor and organizational culture as a predictor of organizational citizenship behavior. However, there has not been any detailed research exploring the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior, organizational commitment, and organizational culture / which is the main purpose of this study. Moreover, this study searched the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational commitment, organizational commitment as being one of the most prominent and potential mediators of the relationship between job characteristics and organizational citizenship behavior. A sample of 125 academicians from Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, was selected and conducted a survey. In accordance with the hypotheses, the results indicated, organizational culture with its several dimensions predicted organizational citizenship behavior and its dimension of civic virtue and sportsmanship. Organizational commitment predicted organizational citizenship behavior, whereas, only affective commitment dimension of organizational commitment predicted organizational citizenship behavior and the dimensions of OCB / altruism, civic virtue, conscientiousness, sportsmanship but not courtesy. The effect of organizational culture on organizational commitment was partially supported. It is supported that organizational culture and only its dimension of mission predicted organizational commitment, and its dimensions of affective and normative commitment. Finally, for the mediating role of organizational commitment, only affective commitment has a mediating role between organizational culture and organizational citizenship behavior.

As a result, financial proprietors surged into the market upon the openness, forming a superficial feature of flourishing development; on the other hand, the deteriorating competition behind the prosperity causes trust-granting quality to go down and consequently the rate and amount of overdue loan to go higher and higher. In the meanwhile, the opportunities of nationally economic development get corrupted. Many researches prove the ethical climate and organizational commitment do have effect on organizational citizenship. This research is aimed to find out the degree the trust-granting staff¡¦s ethical climate and organizational commitment influence the organizational citizenship by studying the personal characteristics and position properties. It also expects follow-up researches will further probe into the difference and correlation between the ethical climate and organizational commitment of the trust-granting staff with the final say in order to build more positive and active ones, so as to enhance a more positive trust¡Vgranting attitude and behavior.

With fidelity analysis, descriptive analysis, factor analysis, single factor variance analysis, Pierson correlation analysis, and typical correlation analysis, we can conclude as follows. 1. Subjects¡¦ research variances are: (1) Ethical climate: legislative orientation, care orientation, and independent judgment. (2) Organizational commitment: affectional commitment, continuous commitment, and moral commitment. (3) Organizational citizenship: the manifestation of both cognition or attitude in terms of sticking to own duty and organizational public welfare lies above the medium or high levels. 2. Based on personal characteristics or position properties, the subjects who have highest manifestation in their cognition and attitude in each dimension are: (1) Legislative orientation: female, 40~49 years old, single, under junior college, incumbent clerk. (2) Care orientation: male, over 50 yeas old, married, above university, director. (3) Independent judgment: male, over 50 years old, married, under junior college, incumbent clerk.
