Li, Li-shien 07 February 2006 (has links)
In the past studies showed that if employees in the organization perform their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), the service quality and consumer satisfaction will promote. Additionally, OCB is helpful for team interaction and promoting team efficiency. It is because employees will cooperate, help each other or work hard to maintain or push others¡¦ welfare and benefit in their organization. However, there are few studies about how OCB is affected by different employment status in public section, and there is little discussion about moderating variables that affect OCB and employment status. In the organization, employees are the most important assets, but are the most difficult factor to control. This study is aimed at analyzing in the Control Yuan how employees with different employment status will affect their willingness to perform OCB. Besides, the study tries to find if ¡§working reason¡¨ and ¡§turnover intention¡¨ of contracted employees will affect the performance of their OCB. The major findings of this study are as following: (1) Relative to formal employees, contracted employees are less faithful than formal employees. Additionally, the contracted employees with turnover intention are less en-teamed than formal employees. There is not significantly different between ¡§devotion¡¨, ¡§loyalty¡¨ and ¡§activity¡¨. (2) In moderating variables about working reasons, no matter that contracted employees get the job willingly or unwillingly, there is no significant difference in their performance of OCB. (3) In moderating variables about turnover intention, the OCB of contracted employee is affected by turnover intertion in ¡§en-team¡¨ and ¡§position-fulfill¡¨. However, there is no significant difference in ¡§devotion¡¨, ¡¨loyalty¡¨ and ¡§activity¡¨ between formal employees and contracted employees.

Huang, Chen-ying 21 August 2006 (has links)
In the traditional employment relationship, contract is an essential element to sustain the mutual relationship between employer and employee. In recent years, with the changes of business environment brought forward by the increasing globalization of business and by the dramatic rise in the numbers of mergers and restructurings, there has been a transformation of employment relationship. Psychological contract, a special type of contract, has become increasingly important under such dynamic environment. After reviewing previous academic researches, we found that the issue about the concept of psychological contract was found in relation with employees¡¦ behavior. Based on the previous opinion, this study expects to prove that psychological contract fulfillment is strongly related to employees¡¦ behavior. We also discuss the moderating effect of personality on the relationship between psychological contract fulfillment and employees¡¦ behavior. We therefore intend to use questionnaire survey and using Taiwanese corporate with intention to prove the hypothesis of this paper. The major finding of this study are as following¡G 1¡BDifferent types of psychological contracts fulfillment are positively related to employees¡¦in-role behavior. 2¡BDifferent types of psychological contracts fulfillment have different impact on organizational citizenship behaviors directed at other individuals within the organization. 3¡BPersonality has no moderating effect on the relationship between psychological contract fulfillment and employees¡¦ behavior. 4¡BPersonality has strong moderating effect on the relationship between psychological contract fulfillment and organizational citizenship behaviors directed at the organization.

The Relationship among Transformational Leadership, Organizational Commitment and Citizenship Behavior ¡ÐThe case of Expatriates

FU, SU-YUNG 01 February 2001 (has links)
With the intensified competition in the world¡¦s economy, the globalization of business has become the only way to ensure its growth. At the same time, expatriates actually play a very important role. Moreover, as global operations increase, so does the emphasis on adaptability outside the home country for expatriates. Experience has indicated that the problem of adaptability for expatriates is Work-Family Conflict. The fact reveals the important of research on expatriate¡¦s leadership and effectiveness. Over the last decade and a half, transformational leadership with its emphasis on vision, development of the individual empowerment and challenging traditional assumptions has become a popular model of leadership in business organizations. It means that transformational leadership in organizational settings has undergone a significant evolution in terms of both theory development and empirical investigations. In the area of transformational leadership, much attention has been given to Bass and Avolio¡¦s research. Bass and Avolio proposed that transformational leadership comprises four dimensions ¡V the ¡§Four I¡¦s¡¨ ¡G1.Charismatic Leadership 2.Inspirational Motivation 3.Intellectural Stimulation 4.Individualized Consideration. Transformational leadership is different from the traditional command-and-control approach (transactional leadership). Transactional leadership is based on bureaucratic authority and legitimacy within the organization. Transactional leaders emphasize work standards and task-oriented goals. In addition, Transactional leaders tend to focus on task completion and employee compliance, and these leaders rely quite heavily on organizational rewards and punishments to influence employee performance. On the other hand, transformational leaders motivate followers by appealing to higher ideals and moral values. Transformational leaders must be able to define and articulate a vision for their organizations, and the followers must accept the credibility of the leader. In the managerial practices, a transformational leader must: 1.Setting a good personal example, move quick and decisively. 2.Develop and communicate a vision and a plan. 3.Releasing the potential of everyone involved in the change to help them to rise to the challenge. 4.Create productive working conditions, provide employees continuous skill development and encourage them rapid learning and adaptation. Another important article of organizational behavior is organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has been seen as one of the most important variables in the study of management and organizational behavior in the last three decades. One of the key reasons is that organizational commitment is highly correlated with turnover intentions, which have an important effect on employees¡¦ behaviors. Therefore, both organizational commitment and turnover intentions are important employee attitudes in maintaining a productive workforce. In addition, many researches have indicated that job satisfaction and organizational commitment are all significant correlates of organizational citizenship behavior. Today¡¦s competitive business environment demands employees who are good citizens- individuals willing to extend themselves to help coworkers and their employers. Organizational citizenship behavior is expressed in actions that show an unselfish concern for the welfare of others. A recent study found that the extent to which employees engage in ¡§good organizational citizenship behavior¡¨ is just as important as their productivity in advancing their careers. Good behavior includes: 1.altruism 2.courtesy 3.civic virtue. In this study, we use transformational leadership as independent variables, organizational commitment as intermediate variables and organizational citizenship behavior as dependent variables. The purpose of this research is mainly to find out the relationship and difference among transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Using a sample of multinational companies who have subsidiaries operating in Taiwan, we test a set of hypotheses among the variables. Then, the effective questionnaires have been analyzed by factor analysis, descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation. The results of this research indicated that: 1. Individual variables do have significant difference on transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. 2. Transformational leadership has positive relation with organizational commitment. 3. Transformational leadership has positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. 4. Organizational commitment has positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. 5. Transformational leadership and organizational commitment have positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. The organizational commitment is the important key to enhance the positive relation between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. According to the results, some suggestions are made for both industries and further researchers in this field. 1. To the industries: Leaders must emphasize the transformational leadership¡¦s skill, in order to increase employees¡¦ organizational commitment and present organizational citizenship behavior. 2. To the further researchers: ¡]1¡^To research the relationship between ethics and transformational leadership. ¡]2¡^To research the relationship and difference of cross-culture among transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Key word: Expatriate, Transformational Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behavior.
