Abstract A well designed salary system can influence employee¡¦s work motivation and will reflect on their work performance. It would not be difficult to understand, based on the theory of expectancy, a linkage between reward and performance will motivate employee to work harder, and from which to create good performance and in turn to receive better rewards. That is to say a business which adopts an incentive reward system to motivate employee will receive better performance from them in a consistent manner and the end result is to improve the performance of the organization. In the past, there have been many researches on influence of salary system on pay satisfaction and working attitude of employee, but few has studied differences in individual risk preference which can interfere with pay satisfaction and to explore differences in risk preference of employee, the effect of variable pay on pay satisfaction and working attitudes. Through empirical analyses, it was found that: 1. In an organization, an implementation of variable pay system will affect pay satisfaction. As salary links more closely with performance, employee¡¦s pay satisfaction increases. 2. The impact of variable pay on pay satisfaction is not influenced by individual risk preference. Due to differences in salary system to motivate employee, in the business this study concludes if employee is unaware of risk or incentive that is structured in the salary system, then there will be not interaction between difference in risk preference and variable pay system, and will also have no impact on salary satisfaction. 3. Pay satisfaction will have an effect on work attitude of employee. The higher the pay satisfaction, the stronger the organization commitment and job involvement by the employee. 4. Through pay satisfaction, variable pay will indirectly affect employee¡¦s work attitude. A reflection on organizational commitment and job involvement due to salary variable as a result of performance change in part must pass through the intermediate effect of pay satisfaction. Keywords: variable pay, risk preferences, pay satisfaction, organizational commitment, job involvement

Taiwan local banks import MA(Management Associate) system from international banks to train their own apprentices for the future. They attract excellent talents by high payments and perfect training programs. However, this makes existed employees feel worthless. This study applies the equity theory¡] Folger & Greeberg, 1995¡^, conflict theory ¡]Pondy,1967¡^and organizational commitment (Porter, 1974) to make the research framework , hypotheses and questionnaire. It tests hypotheses through quatitative research. In order to improve the comprehensiveness, this study made some interviews from existed employees and MAs. The results of this thesis are: 1. The relationship of organizational conflicts between different positions: The results of quantitative testing and interviews both find MAs and existed employees do have conflicts, especially for existed employees. No matter what seniority is, existed employees do not feel comfortable with MA¡¦s higher salary, status and job grade. This is the main source of conflicts. 2. The relationship of organizational equity between different companies: The employees between different companys possess significance differences in the perception of the organizational equity. There are two reasons supporting this result. One is the different recruiting processes between different companies. The other one is the diversity of MA programs. 3. The relationship of organizational conflicts between different companies: Divide organizational conflicts into two dimensions from the factor analysis- goal conflict and interactive conflict. Then, the employees between different companys possess significance differences in the perception of the organizational conflict. There are two points of view on the result. One is the equal level of graduation and capability of existed employees. The other one is the unfair performance evaluation.

M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School. / The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation is a public company and a parastatal responsible for undertaking and promoting research and development in the field of nuclear energy and radiation sciences. Overall, South African organisations face the urgent challenge of attaining competitive advantage through the effective utilisation and retention of skilled employees who contribute to the basis of their success. A major motivation for this study derives from the urgent challenge of attaining competitive advantage through the effective utilisation and retention of skilled knowledge workers in a multi-cultural South Africa. The influence of leadership style to employee commitment to the organisation has not been adequately addressed in the nuclear industry. A need therefore exists for greater understanding of the relationship between the leadership style and work-related attitudes (such as employee commitment) in order to develop a leadership style that will encourage organisational commitment. This study examines the relationship between leadership style, and employee commitment.

M. Tech. Office Management and Technology / This dissertation was necessitated by the challenges the public and private sectors faced in aligning their organisational values and goals with those of their employees. Professionalism has become a fundamental prerequisite for organisations to succeed. In order to achieve stated organisational goals, elements of professionalism such as trust, commitment, accountability and responsibility, have to be integrated into the daily activities of organisations in order to push forward and achieve their ultimate goals. This research project focused on the professional and unprofessional behaviour of employees in their work environment. Factors that constitute professional behaviour were emphasised, for example acceptable leadership styles, professional trust, responsibility, accountability and commitment. Factors such as nepotism, favouritism, insubordination, alcohol and substance abuse were classified as unprofessional factors in the work environment. Based on the findings, the question arose as to what made employees behave the way they do in the work environments? A significant interdependency and interrelationship were found with respect to openness, people networks, structured systems, orientation and awareness. Organisational governance affects employee behaviour and manifests differently, depending on the interests and perceptions of individual employees.

The aging population in the United States and greater access to healthcare due to recent legislative reforms will result in an increased demand for registered nurses. However, meeting this demand will challenge healthcare organizations due to an aging nursing workforce that will be retiring, a lack of new nurses entering the profession due to lack of employment opportunities related to the current macro-economic environment, and the lack of capacity to produce nursing graduates. Furthermore, reported turnover rates of newly graduated registered nurses range from 18 to 60% during the first year of employment. Healthcare organizations implementing structured nurse residency programs have reported success in stemming the tide of new graduate turnover. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence in the nurse residency literature regarding variables that have been shown to decrease turnover of registered nurses. The purpose of this study was to examine the outcome variables of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover among newly graduated nurse residents in Magnet, Magnet Aspiring, and Non-Magnet Hospital work environments across the US. A descriptive correlational retrospective secondary analysis was completed examining the outcome variables in a sample of 628 newly graduated nurses completing a structured nurse residency program between January 1, 2007 and December 31st, 2009 in general acute care hospitals. The findings from this study demonstrated the difference between job satisfaction at two months, six months, and 12 months among nurse residents in the different work environments. Furthermore, the influence of the residency program on organizational commitment in the context of differing work environments is reported. Moreover, turnover rates following the completion of the nurse residency were found to be lower than the national average for newly graduated nurses. Finally, the relationships between the outcome variables are explicated. The findings of this study will assist in informing healthcare executive’s decision making when considering interventions to decrease turnover of newly graduated nurses. / text
