A study of the relationship between perceived fairness of compensation and performance management practices in the Australian banking industry /Hung, Daisy Kee Mui. Unknown Date (has links)
This research examines what employees in the Australian banking industry think of fairness in the area of compensation and performance management and how these perceptions influence organisational commitment and turnover intention. The research was conducted in two stages. In stage 1, a small sample of 29 employees were interviewed from one Australian bank in Adelaide, South Australia. Qualitative analysis of their responses confirmed the major dimensions of the fairness concept with respect to compensation and performance management practices. Stage 2 involved a quantitative approach where an online and printed questionnaire was distributed to 345 employees working in the banking industry in South Australia. / Stage 2 findings affirmed the qualitative findings and provided an explanation of how Australian employees interpreted fairness. The majority intepreted fairness as distributive fairness, yet interactional fairness was perceived as the major experience of fairness. The statistical results indicated that employees' perceptions of fairness were largely influenced by the interaction of distributive and procedural fairness, as well as interactional fairness. The data also provided empirical evidence of the impact of structural fairness in compensation and social fairness in performance management on employees' affective responses toward the organisation and turnover intention. / Thesis (PhDBusinessandManagement)--University of South Australia, 2006.

Factor Analysis of an Employee Attitude SurveyScivetti, Frank A. 08 1900 (has links)
A 75-item, Likert-type employee attitude survey was completed by a sample of 670 hourly and salaried employees of a Southwestern company engaged in computerized tax-form processing. The survey contained items relating to attitude dimensions roughly analogous to those subsumed under the two-factor theory of job satisfaction as defined in the relevant literature. Factor analysis, using the principle axes solution, followed by both orthogonal (varimax) and oblique (direct oblimin) rotations was performed. The oblique rotation derived 11 factors which accounted for 87.3% of the common variance. These lent statistical support to 10 of 16 a priori, hypothesized attitudinal dimensions. The six remaining hypothesized dimensions were not empirically supported.

Unraveling the minds of survey participants: A respondent-centered approach to understanding response behavior in employee attitude surveysSchumacher, Svenja Kristina 18 September 2020 (has links)
In the context of organizational development, surveys are important tools for learning about employees’ experiences in the organization. Organizational practice is faced with two main challenges to the successful implementation of surveys. First, the increasing use of surveys may lead to survey fatigue potentially negatively impacting employees’ motivation to engage in surveys. Second, survey results serve as a basis for strategic decision-making in organizations and thus need to be adequate for linkage research or benchmarking practices. The presented research aims to address these two challenges by taking a respondent-centered approach focusing on motivational and cognitive aspects of employees’ experiences while taking surveys. First, it introduces the new construct of survey experience as a respondent- centered criterion of successful survey design (Paper 1). A short-scale is theoretically developed based on user experience theory (Hassenzahl, Platz, Burmester, & Lehner, 2000) and empirically tested and validated in two studies. It, therefore, contributes to the understanding of survey design influences on participant’s motivational processes of survey response. Additionally, the short-scale equips practitioners with a reliable and economic lever to counter possible effects of survey fatigue by creating enjoyable and usable surveys tailored to specific target groups. Second, the presented research addresses cognitive and motivational aspects of survey processing and potential implications for the comparability of results. It, specifically, examines item-wording effects on response behavior on the example of intensifiers in Likert-type item stems of employee attitude surveys (Papers 2 and 3). It, further, considers the role of the organizational setting in determining employees’ response behavior (Krosnick, 1991) in the response process (Tourangeau & Rasinski, 1988) of employee attitude surveys (Paper 3). It, thereby, contributes to the understanding of employees’ response processes in this particular setting and provides practical advice for item-wording practices in organizations. Overall, the three papers bridge the previous literature by considering the survey itself, participants’ motivational and cognitive processes of survey response, and the survey setting in the context of employee attitude surveys together. The results of the presented research highlight the need for a contextual approach to researching and designing surveys that considers interactions between the survey, the participants, and the setting. It, thereby, contributes starting points to enable a more sophisticated approach to understanding survey response in employee attitude surveys.

Measuring absence cultures: an examination of absence perceptions of males and femalesGreenberg, Stuart Elliot 08 September 2012 (has links)
Absenteeism was explored from a social psychological perspective. The purpose was to measure the absence cultures (Nicholson and Johns, l9S5) of male and female employees through the use of policy capturing (Hobson and Gibson, l9S3). Absence was split into three dimensions: Personal Health, Stress Relief, and Family Responsibility (Nicholson and Payne, l9S7). One hundred and two employees of a large southeastern university were used as subjects. They were asked to give their own opinion and their opinion of their organization's view about the inappropriateness/appropriateness of the absence behaviors in the 27 policy capturing vignettes. They were also asked to give their subjective weighting of how they used each dimension to make their overall rating. / Master of Science

An empirical study of employee gender and absenteeismMcClellan, Elizabeth L. January 1986 (has links)
Absenteeism is a costly and pervasive problem to business and society. Differences in levels of absenteeism between men and women have been found in both national data and in individual studies; however, it is unclear why gender influences absenteeism rates.
Differential effects from gender on the relationship between absenteeism rates and both personal and attitudinal factors of employees were studied. Specific variables examined were age, number of dependents, distance to work, role conflict, job involvement, job satisfaction and central life interests. Job level and working conditions were held constant so that gender effects on absenteeism were isolated from other factors.
An employee's age and attitude toward pay were the only factors found to exhibit a gender-related differential impact on absenteeism. It was found that both men's and women's frequency of absenteeism is best explained by motivational factors to attend work. Duration of absenteeism was best explained by motivational factors for men, while both motivational and ability to attend factors were useful in predicting days absent for women. / M.S.
