A Study of Participating Employees' Welfare Committee and Organizational Citizenship Behavior¡G Perceived Organizational Support as a Mediating Mechanism

Kuo, Pin-yi 10 August 2012 (has links)
According to the report, in the year 2008 there are more than 14,000 Employees' Welfare Committees, which proves Employees' Welfare Committee plays an important role between the employers and the employees in Taiwan . Therefore, in this study, we will try to compare two groups of people (participant and non-participant) to differentiate the differences in PSS (perceived supervisor support) , POS ( perceived organizational support) and OCBs ( organizational citizenship behavior ). Besides, we will also exanimate the composition of Employees' Welfare Committee to see if the people who have participated in Employees' Welfare Committee will trigger higher POS or PSS, and with a higher PSS or POS. Employees will be more motivated in their job performance and will work beyond the responsibilities given . This survey shows that the differences in PSS and POS between the two groups are not significant, however, the participated group in one dimension of OCBs ¢w Organizational Identification is significant. The further analysis shows that the number of members, the way of election, the welfares offered by the committee will have positive relationships with PSS and POS by assigning the HR to the committee. What¡¦s more, if the organizations can make good use of these components to let their employees perceive and understand how their organizations or supervisors put efforts on them when they participate in the Welfare Committee. Furthermore to influence employees to exhibit behavior which is not explicitly recognized by formal reward system but expected to be positively related to measures of organizational effects.

The emergences and consequences of intra-organizational social networks--social capital perspective

Chen, Jung-te 18 August 2004 (has links)
Social networks and social capital issues have been combined with organizational behavior scope for decades. Nevertheless, the difficulty of methodology and data collection causes the rareness of related empirical study. In this dissertation, multi-level research structure and hypothesis, including dyadic-level, individual-level, and network-level, are proposed to be examined respectively. 505 questionnaires were collected from 17 companies providing a great deal of support to be analyzed by social network analysis technique of UCINET VI for windows. The following are results and conclusions of each research level: For dyadic level, ¡§cognition-based trust¡¨ and ¡§affect-based trust¡¨ are core variables representing dyadic relationship quality. Similarity/attraction paradigm, self-categorizing, and social identity were used as theory basis to prove the positive effects of antecedents embracing gender, education level, age, and tenure similarity, also the ¡§value fit¡¨ and ¡§cognitive friendship¡¨, on dyadic relationship quality and interaction behaviors. The results demonstrate the higher similarity of education level and tenure between two individuals, the greater level of value fit, friendships, cognitive-based trust, affect-based trust, knowledge sharing, and citizenship behaviors. Cognition and affect trusts between two individuals cause the knowledge sharing and citizenship behaviors for each other. The positive effects of gender differences on relationship quality are discovered unexpectedly. For individual level, the normalized in-degree of centralities of ¡§advice networks¡¨ and ¡§friendship networks¡¨ were measured by social network analysis techniques to be examined as core variables. I draw on the formal organization structure (work flow network centrality and rank), personalities (conscientiousness, high-low self-monitoring, extraversion/introversion, collectivism/individualism), and job characteristics (job inter-dependency and work loading) for the antecedent variables of ¡§advice networks¡¨, ¡§friendship networks¡¨, and personal contextual performance (knowledge sharing and citizenship behaviors). Also treat the ¡§personal social capital¡¨ as the mediate variables among personal social networks and personal contextual performance. The results demonstrate the positive effects of rank, work flow network centrality, conscientiousness, self-monitoring, collectivism, and job inter-dependency on the centrality of advice network. The negative-effects of work loading are also verified. For the centrality of friendship network, the results proved the positive effects of the work flow network centrality, and conscientiousness, also the negative effects of work loading on it. Knowledge sharing behaviors representing the part of personal contextual performance are positively affected by conscientiousness, self-monitoring, rank, work flow network centrality, advice network centrality, friendship network centrality, and personal social capital. Work loading influences the knowledge sharing behaviors negatively. Citizenship behaviors that also represent the part of personal contextual performance are influenced by advice network centrality, friendship network centrality, and personal social capital. The mediating effects of social capital among personal social networks and personal contextual performance are also manifested. For network level, the comparisons among formal organization structure and nine intra-organizational social networks demonstrate the influences of rank and division on social network structural configuration. I also draw on the similarity-attraction paradigm as the theory basis to examine the positive effects of the similarity of department, gender, age, education-level, marriage status, and nine intra-organizational social network matrices on the relational matrices of friendship and affect-trust. MRQAP (Multiple Regression Quadratic Assignment Procedure) technique is applied on this analysis. The results verified the positive effects of the similarity of department, gender, and marriage status on friendship and affect-trust between two individuals. In addition, the theoretical and managerial implications, limitations and future research questions based on the findings and suggestions for future research are provided.

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

A study of perceived organizational support, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior-Engineers in high-tech industry as example

Feng, Shawlynn 26 June 2007 (has links)
As we progress towards the era of knowledge economy, organizations become more dependent on the knowledge-based resources possessed by their employees. In the past, organizations are only concerned with employees¡¦ commitment to the company and hoping they perform citizenship behaviors in favor of the company. Nowadays, it is more important to know that employees also develop an overall belief concerning the extent to which organizations values and cares about them, which is called perceived organizational support. Mutual trust and commitment is needed to fulfill the expectations from the organizations and employees. The purpose of this study is to examine whether employees¡¦ perceptions of organizational support positively affect their commitment to the organization ; whether organizational commitment positively affect the extent to which employees perform citizenship behaviors ; whether commitment mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behavior. After a survey directed at engineers in high-tech industries, results are as the following: (1) perceived organizational support increases employees¡¦ commitment to the organization ; (2) organizational commitment increases employees¡¦ citizenship behaviors ; (3) organizational commitment mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational citizenship behavior.

An Integrative Model Of Transformational Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Job Satisfaction And Organizational Citizenship Behavior

Kucukbayrak, Ruken 01 August 2010 (has links) (PDF)
Existing literature indicates that transformational leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior are very important for effective organizational functioning. Previous research on citizenship behaviors made limited contribution to the literature, since it mainly did not consider the relationships between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behaviors together with the influences of job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This study tried to test a new model of the relationships among transformational leadership, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors. 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. After the outlier analyses, 137 cases were left for further study. Hierarchical regression analyses were performed on the data to test the relations of the variables. In line with the expectations, transformational leadership, job satisfaction and organizational commitment predicted organizational citizenship behaviors. Moreover, affective commitment and normative commitment partially mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. Contrary to the expectations, job satisfaction did not mediate the relation between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior.
