Kuo, Hsin-Mei 29 June 2003 (has links)
Abstract The history of Private Security Industry in Taiwan has been twenty-five years till now. Private security guards are not only the major support to governmental police force but also the labor market in demand now in spite of the work force surplus in other industries caused by economic depression. The development of private security industry is still at developing stage so that some organizations¡¦ policies and systems are not complete and sound enough. In addition, the demographics of employees in this industry are different from those in others. Majority of them are low-level educational or unemployed older workers. They chose this low entry-barrier occupation in order to solve economic plight but find no aspiration for or don¡¦t adapt to this position after working for a while. The issues discussed above have been affected private security guards¡¦ job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Few of the foreign and domestic studies on private security industry focused on behavioral issue and were conducted quantitatively. The purposes of this study were to measure work values, job satisfaction and organizational commitment of private security guards and to examine the effect of work values on those two work attitudes. Due to most of private security guards are older workers, in this study age has divided into four categories with the reference of the Bureau of Accounting & Statistics as following: young aged¡]below 25¡^, middle aged¡]26-45¡^, senior aged¡]46-65¡^, and old aged¡]above 66¡^. Data collected from a questionnaire survey of 967 private security guards in southern part of Taiwan was analyzed using the statistical techniques of crosstab, descriptive statistics analysis, T-test, one-way ANOVA, and hierarchical regression. The results indicates: 1.Most of private security guards are reemployed; most of their previous positions are at non-managerial levels; previous tenure are mainly below 15 years; most of them engaged in service industry; the main reason of last separation for all of them was voluntary separation, but for the senior aged it was factory or business shut down; the first reason of present employment is basically to support family economy. 2.Private security guards emphasize most on the work value of ¡§the orientation of organizational security and economy¡¨ but least on ¡§the orientation of stability and free from anxiety ¡¨; they have greatest ¡§intrinsic job satisfaction¡¨ but least ¡§extrinsic job satisfaction¡¨; they have highest ¡§affective commitment¡¨ but lowest ¡§continuous commitment¡¨. 3.The occupation of a private security guard should possesses the work values of higher ¡§orientation of social interaction¡¨ and lower ¡§orientation of stability and free from anxiety¡¨. Employers might take the work values orientation into consideration in the process of recruiting and selecting. 4.Senior aged private security guards have higher affective commitment and normative commitment than the young and middle aged. 5.Among work values, ¡§the orientation of self-realization, the orientation of esteem, and the orientation of stability and free from anxiety¡¨ had significant positive effect on job satisfaction¡F ¡§the orientation of organizational security and economy¡¨ had significant negative effect on job satisfaction; ¡§the orientation of esteem¡¨ has significant positive effect on organizational commitment; ¡§the orientation of social interaction¡¨ had significant positive effect on affective commitment; ¡§the orientation of stability and free from anxiety¡¨ had significant negative effect on affective commitment, but significant positive effect on continuous commitment.

A Study on Quality of Work Life of Real Estate Operators in Public and Private Sectors

Tsai, Ching-Yu 22 July 2003 (has links)
The managing concept of improving quality of work life has attracted attention of the researchers and practical managers gradually. The purpose of this study is to apply this concept on disposal of real estates by public and private sectors. Through discussion of relevant literature and experimental surveys, we used registrars of land administration authorities and land administration clerks of Land Administration Personnel¡¦s Association as subjects. The variables are quality of work life (including measurement perspectives such as learning development, dignity in work, nature of job, evaluation on promotion, working environment, salary and bonus, family leisure, and interpersonal interaction), attribute of individuals, city and county, and job satisfaction (including internal satisfaction, external satisfaction and overall satisfaction). In this study, the real estate operators¡¦ quality of work life, job satisfaction and the correlation between them were discussed. The return rate of questionnaires was 93% in this study. We carried out our study based on the 374 valid questionnaires with the descriptive statistical analysis, reliability analysis, independent sample T-test, one-way ANOVA analysis and Pearson¡¦s product moment correlation analysis. The important results of our research are as the following: 1.The average of quality of work life and job satisfaction is higher than the median value. This indicates that the real estate operators in both the public and private sectors recognized their perceptual experience in quality of work life and were quite satisfied with their jobs. While marriage, age and educational degree of the real estate operators in the public sector might create appreciable differences in their perceptual experience in quality of work life. 2.Differences between public and private sectors and between city and county and analysis on such differences: With respect to the perceptual experience in quality of work life and the overall job satisfaction, both the public and private sectors and the city and county have a degree of satisfaction above average. However, in terms of the degree of satisfaction, the private sector is higher than the public sector; Kaohsiung County is higher than Kaohsiung City. The parts that got the highest points and had the same perspective are nature of job and learning development. The part getting the lower points and having consistent perspective is family leisure. However, evaluation on promotion is the part in which the public sector had the lowest perceptual experience. In private sector, the lowest perceptual experience fell in salary and bonus. 3.Correlation between quality of work life and job satisfaction: In the public sector, the highest positive correlation exists between interpersonal interaction and the overall job satisfaction. In the private sector, the highest positive correlation is between family leisure and the overall job satisfaction. Based on the study results and the review of literature, we submit some suggestions on policies to public and private real estate dealers and their competent authorities, real estate operators at the basic level, and subsequent researchers for their reference in practical management.

Shih, Meng-Chun 04 August 2003 (has links)
For managing an enterprise, the exterior must face the fast changes of markets, technologies, and customers and the interior must communicate and coordinate among superiors, colleagues, and subordinates. Under the allocation of limited resources, members in organization usually utilize their own power to acquire the extra-benefits for protecting their own or group¡¦s benefits. The frequency and strength of political behavior occurred in the organization depend on the factors such as organizational framework and environment to be varied. Among these factors, the employee mindset is a major problem ¡]Tushman¡A1977¡^. The study uses Perceptions of Organizational Politics Model developed by Ferris et al.¡]1989¡^as research frame to discuss the effects of perception of organizational politics on job satisfaction, job pressure, Job involvement, and turnover tendency of organizational employees: do Perceptions of Organizational Politics vary in different industries and if there is a difference in the degree of Perception of Organizational Politics of employee¡¦s behavior in different industries. In the study, Perceptions of Organizational Politics Scale (POPS) totals 26 items which adopt 15 items from POPS of Kacmar & Carlson (1992) plus 11 items out of 31 items of Kacmar & Ferris (1992). After factor analysis, the POPS is divided into four perspectives: ¡§superior behavior¡¨, ¡§go along to get ahead¡¨, ¡§promotion and difference between policy practice and execution ¡¨ and ¡§coworker and clique behavior¡¨. The objectives of the study are ¡§public and private hospital¡¨, ¡§private high technology industry¡¨, ¡§private traditional manufacturing industry¡¨, ¡§public service industry¡¨, ¡§government agency¡¨ and ¡§public and private school¡¨. A total of 1141 questionnaires were mailed to the firms of industries described above, among the returned, 935 questionnaires were effective. The data were analyzed by Correlation Analysis, Reliability Analysis, Factor analysis, ANOVA , and Regression Analysis. The results show as the followings: 1. ¡§Sex¡¨, ¡§Age¡¨, ¡§education level¡¨ and ¡§tenure¡¨ of individual variables have no significant difference in Perceptions of Organizational Politics. 2. The results of the whole sample analysis confirm that Perceptions of Organizational Politics in the elementary employees are higher than that in the superiors. 3. In the study of cross-organizational comparison, It is found that in different industries Perceptions of Organizational Politics indeed cause negative effects on job satisfaction and job involvement, which make employees produce job pressure and increase the intention to leave. 4. The degree of Perceptions of Organizational Politics in employees varies in different industries, among surveyed industries, the Perceptions of Organizational Politics in ¡§public and private hospital¡¨ are highest. 5. ¡§Superior behavior¡¨ is the most important reason to cause employees¡¦ job unsatisfaction, job pressure and turnover tendency in different industries. 6. The study shows that ¡§coworker and clique behavior¡¨ has no significant effect on employee¡¦s job satisfaction, job involvement and turn over tendency, however, it is the main source of employee¡¦s job pressure in ¡§private high technology industry ¡¨and ¡§government agency¡¨. 7. ¡§Salary, Promotion and difference between policy practice and execution ¡¨ is the major reason for employees in ¡§private traditional manufacturing industry¡¨ to decease the intention of job involvement. It means that employees in ¡§private traditional manufacturing industry¡¨ than that in other industries care salary, promotion and difference between policy practice and execution. 8. Employees in ¡§public service industry¡¨ and ¡§public and private school¡¨ have higher level of job satisfaction than other surveyed industries. 9. Employees in ¡§public and private hospital¡¨, ¡§private traditional manufacturing industry¡¨ and ¡§private high technology industry¡¨ have higher job pressure than other surveyed industries. 10. Employees in ¡§private high technology industry¡¨, ¡§public and private school¡¨ and ¡§public service industry¡¨ have higher intention of job involvement than other surveyed industries. 11. Employees in ¡§private traditional manufacturing industry¡¨ and ¡§public and private hospital¡¨ have higher turnover tendency than other industries. The results of the study confirm that Perceptions of Organizational Politics indeed cause negative effects on employee¡¦s job satisfaction and job involvement, bring employees job pressure, result in decrease of job morale, and further increase the intention to leave. At this time, it depends on managers how to develop their own creativity and carry out strategic integration to gather the organizational members together.

Spirituality in the salesperson: the impact of the golden rule and personal faith on workplace job attitudes

Smith, James Garry 17 September 2007 (has links)
Do salespeople who follow the Golden Rule or let their faith influence their behavior serve their customers better or like their jobs and employers more than other salespeople? The Golden Rule is a quote from Christ found in Matthew 7:12 NIV and is considered a universal ethical principle taught by all major religions. It is also a behavioral standard for many in business. A review of the sales, marketing, and organizational literatures, however, failed to uncover studies which assess the relationships of following the Golden Rule or a person’s faith or spirituality with key business outcomes. Salespeople impact the performance and perception of their firms, yet are regarded as highly unethical by the public. Therefore, an investigation of how these variables influence their behavior seems justified. A Golden Rule Disposition (GRD) is conceptualized as a higher-order personality disposition which influences the traits of agape love, forgiveness, gratitude, humility, and selflessness. Personal faith is defined as a higher order personality trait blending a desire for a personal relationship with God (the Divine or Supreme Being) with core personality influences on the behaviors of an individual. A comprehensive model was developed and tested using structural equation modeling to investigate a GRD’s relationships with job satisfaction, organizational commitment, propensity to leave, life satisfaction, and customer orientation. Personal faith’s influence on these relationships was tested using moderated multiple regression. Completed questionnaires were collected from 142 members of an automobile dealer’s sales force to provide the data for this study. A GRD influenced all proposed lower order traits except for selflessness and humility. A GRD had a positive effect on all dependent variables except propensity to leave and life satisfaction. Faith was not a moderator of any relationships, but was found to be positively related to forgiveness and gratitude. A surprising result was the lack of a relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction. These findings should be important to organizations that practice the marketing concept. The combined effect of following the Golden Rule and personal faith leads to more satisfied customers and a more stable workforce to meet organizational goals.
