The impact of desktop personal computer technology on the factors that contribute to job satisfaction and motivationPorch, Celina, n/a January 1994 (has links)
This research study had three aims. The first aim was to identify if any
changes in job characteristics and the motivating potential of jobs occurred
when workers were provided with their own personal desktop computers for
accessing automated integrated information management systems,
wordprocessing and spreadsheeting facilities. The second aim of the study
was to determine if any changes in job satisfaction occurred as a result of
such changes in job characteristics and the motivating potential of jobs. The
third aim of the study was to determine whether changes in job satisfaction
that resulted from changes in job characteristics and changes in the
motivating potential of jobs were moderated by the following factors:
workers' perceptions of the impact of the new technology on their work
practices, workers' prior knowledge of computing, and workers' age, gender
and job category.
A survey questionnaire was used to collect information for this research
study. The complete version of the Job Diagnostic Survey formed the major
portion of this questionnaire. The additional portions of the questionnaire
were designed to collect information relating to workers' perceptions of the
impact of the new technology, their prior computing knowledge and their
age, gender and job category.
A quasi-experimental multiple time-series research design was used to
fulfill the aims of this study. The experimental group comprised 19 workers
who had been using the new technology for no longer than five months. In
order to maximise discrimination between effects that resulted from the
introduction of the new technology and effects that resulted from other
organisational factors, two control groups were used in this research study.
The "established users" group comprised 10 workers who had been using the
new technology in their jobs for at least six months, and the "non-users"
group comprised 22 workers who had not used the new techno�logy in their
jobs and would not do so for the duration of the study. A period of 18
months elapsed between the pretest and the posttest. In total, 51
respondents completed both the pretest and posttest questionnaires. These
respondents' results were analysed using Statview 512+ and JMP
(version 2).
The participants of this research study were all employees of the National
Library of Australia (NLA). Although computer technology has been in use
at the NLA since the 1980s, the new technology that has been the focus of
this research study differs from previous technology because it provides
staff of the NLA with instant access to an information system that is both
fully automated and fully integrated. This has been achieved in two ways.
Firstly, the development of a local area network, the installation of a Dynix
Integrated Library Management System, and the provision of Epsom
personal computers equipped with Word for Windows and Excel for
Windows have collectively made it possible for staff of the NLA now to
access all the NLA's existing and new automated systems from a single
personal computer instead of having to use different equipment for different
automated tasks as has previously been the case. Secondly, rather than
having to share equipment with other staff, each staff member has been
supplied with their own PC.
The study found that the introduction of the new technology did not have
any significant effects on job characteristics and the motivating potential of
jobs. However, there was a significant decrease in job satisfaction after the
introduction of the new technology. It was found that workers had very
positive perceptions of the effects of the technology on their jobs, and very
high levels of prior computing knowledge, and therefore it was concluded
that these factors did not have any moderating effects on the relationship
between the introduction of the new technology and job satisfaction. No
relationships were found between the decrease in job satisfaction and
workers' age, gender and job category. Results of further analysis, however,
reveal that there was a relationship between the decrease in job satisfaction
after the introduction of the new technology and two other factors. These
were a reduction in workers' perceptions of the value of the skills required
to complete their work tasks and a decrease in their social satisfaction.
Further research is suggested in order to determine the general
applicability of these results to other organisations and other occupational
groups.

Motivation through Benevolence : A Case Study on the Impact of CSR on Work MotivationHullberg, Fredrik, Sjögren, Pontus January 2016 (has links)
På senare tid har Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) blivit en allt viktigare företagsfråga. Det har dock framhävts att otillräcklig forskning har ägnats åt att dess inverkan på anställda. Syftet med denna studie varit att undersöka effekten av CSR, riktad mot externa intressenter, på anställdas arbetsmotivation. För detta ändamål har en fallstudie av en svensk bank genomförts. Först utfördes en kartläggning av bankens CSR. Sedan utvecklades ett konceptuellt ramverk inspirerat av dels kartläggningen av bankens CSR, och dels av Hackman och Oldhams Job Diagnostic Survey. Därefter distribuerades en psykometrisk undersökning till 117 anställda i ett av bankens sex affärsområden. Detta i syfte att försöka fånga in den potentiella motivationseffekten av bankens CSR. Den huvudsakliga upptäckten av studien indikerar ett positivt samband mellan upplevd CSR och arbetsmotivation. Dessutom, utav de valda måtten för arbetsmotivation, visade sig upplevd meningsfullhet generera den tydligaste kopplingen till CSR, följt av upplevt ansvarstagande och feedback. Följaktligen är den viktigaste slutsatsen, inom ramen för denna studie, att arbetsmotivation påverkas positivt av CSR. / In recent times, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly important corporate issue. It has, however, been argued that insufficient research has been dedicated to its impact on employees. The purpose of this study has been to examine the effect of CSR directed at external stakeholders on employee motivation. In order to do so, a case study on a Swedish bank was conducted. First, a mapping of the bank's CSR was carried out. Thereafter, a conceptual framework inspired by the mapping of the bank's CSR as well as by Hackman and Oldham's Job Diagnostic Survey was developed. Second, a psychometric survey was distributed to 117 of the bank's employees in one of its six regional business units. This was done in order to capture the potential motivational effect of the CSR of the bank. The principal finding of the study indicates a positive relationship between perceived CSR and work motivation. Furthermore, out of the selected measures of work motivation, experienced meaningfulness provided the most distinct connection to CSR, followed by experienced responsibility and feedback. Accordingly the most important conclusion, within the scope of this study, is that CSR positively affects work motivation.

Job satisfaction of research librarians in selected research libraries in the Western CapeZaal, Wilhelmina Elizabeth January 2012 (has links)
Magister Bibliothecologiae - MBibl / The study examines job satisfaction among research librarians in selected research libraries situated in the Western Cape region. Many studies worldwide have been done on job satisfaction in various subject fields including librarianship. The theoretical framework for this study refers however only on the Job Characteristics Model (JCM) (1976) of Hackman and Oldham. The reason why this model was chosen was because this model was the most appropriate model given the nature of the study, even though there are other models available. A brief overview of the other theoretical models namely; Maslow's (1943) hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's (1954) two factor theory of motivation are discussed as a starting point of this research study. Research librarians work under stressful conditions given the need to produce successful end results.

VALIDACION DE LAS ESCALAS DEL JOB DIAGNOSTIC SURVEY (JDS) APLICADAS A ENTORNOS EDUCATIVOS UNIVERSITARIOSGiraldo O'Meara, Martha Marcela 31 March 2014 (has links)
Desde hace tiempo se habla de la necesidad de modificar la enseñanza
tradicional, caracterizada por la superficialidad en el aprendizaje y la pasividad en el
estudiante, por una en la que éste participe de forma activa y cuyo aprendizaje sea más
profundo. De hecho, en la adaptación que están llevando a cabo las universidades en
España, dentro de los planes del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), uno
de los objetivos propuestos es la mejora de las metodologías y recursos en la educación
de los estudiantes.
Este tipo de aprendizaje activo genera un contexto más motivador, estimulante y
más satisfactorio para los estudiantes, y una forma de crearlo es modificando las
actividades que los estudiantes realizan en clase, es decir, las características del contexto
de aprendizaje.
A pesar de toda la investigación que existe en el área de la educación sobre este
aspecto, sigue existiendo un vacío con respecto a las características relacionadas con el
aprendizaje y con la motivación y la satisfacción.
Al no haber podido encontrar instrumentos que evalúen este tipo de conceptos,
se ha decidido investigar dentro del mundo laboral, para comprender mejor ambos
constructos.
La analogía entre el mundo laboral y el académico no es un planteamiento
nuevo. Desde hace mucho tiempo se ha sugerido la idea de que lo que hace el estudiante
en la universidad, es comparable a lo que hace un trabajador en su puesto de trabajo.
En este trabajo se ha realizado la adaptación al mundo académico, de un
instrumento ampliamente utilizado en el mundo laboral para diagnosticar y rediseñar las
propiedades motivacionales del puesto de trabajo y medir la satisfacción en los
trabajadores: El Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). Aunque existen otros instrumentos que
evalúan estos conceptos, el JDS, además de ser uno de los instrumentos más utilizados
para su valoración, incluye ambos constructos en su modelo conceptual. A través de este trabajo se ha conseguido ofrecer un instrumento válido para
analizar el potencial motivador del puesto de trabajo de los alumnos, rediseñarlo y
evaluar cómo influye en la satisfacción. / Giraldo O'meara, MM. (2014). VALIDACION DE LAS ESCALAS DEL JOB DIAGNOSTIC SURVEY (JDS) APLICADAS A ENTORNOS EDUCATIVOS UNIVERSITARIOS [Tesis doctoral]. Universitat Politècnica de València. https://doi.org/10.4995/Thesis/10251/36741
