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.

Liu, Szu-ying 19 August 2012 (has links)
Talented people are the key factor for enterprises to maintain their competitive advantage. Since 1980s, due to the changes of internal and external environments, reorganization and simplification have become the patterns of organizations, which indicating promotion possibility in an organization has been relatively reduced. These generate the feeling of development limitation within employees and result in the phenomenon of career plateau. However, high performance work system is regarded as a set of management system in human resources field , and it includes most types of best management practices. Therefore, this study attempts to explore antecedents and consequences of variable of the career plateau, including a negative correlation between high performance work system and career plateau as well as the impact of the career plateau on role performance and turnover intention, and whether the perceived supervisor support will be an interference effect. In this study, pairing questionnaires are offered to executives and organizational members 47 effective matching samples are received. Hierarchical linear model is used in this study to verify the hypothesis. The results show: 1. Career plateau is negatively associated with role performance; 2. Career plateau is positively associated with the turnover intention; 3. The effect of perceived supervisor support can interfere with both career plateau and turnover intention. The findings of this study indicate: 1. Organizations should establish career planning and development for employees in order to reduce the adverse effects of career plateau; 2. Organizations should find a method to increase employees¡¦ perceived of supervisor support in order to reduce the negative effects of career plateau; 3. High performance work system is a systematic system. It should be assessed in depth regarding the way of solving the career plateau. Finally, suggestions for future research and the limitation of this study are also discussed.

Li, Hish-ping 14 February 2007 (has links)
For an enterprise, the appropriate flow rate of employees helps the metabolism of an organization and prevents an organization from becoming rigid. The appropriate flow of employees helps the enhancement of management efficiency of an enterprise. If the flow rate is too high, however, it will cause the loss of employees, the high expense of recruiting and training, and the low morale of employees. Moreover, it will cause the deficiency of human resource. In addition to general resignation mentioned in the above, another phenomenon of collective-resignation is arising. Collective-resignation has caused the crisis of management. Therefore, how to avoid collective-resignation is an important issue of an enterprise. This research discusses how the organizational commitment influences the initiative collective-resignation intention and passive collective-resignation intention. The object of this research is mainly on the employees in enterprises. The number of issued questionnaires is 750, and finally the number of returned questionnaires is 406. The rate of returning is 54.1 percent. The statistics results in the analysis as the following: 1.Governmental commitment has great influence on collective-resignation intention. Among them, the regulative commitment has positive effect on initiative collective-resignation and negative effect on passive collective-resignation (following the supervisor). The emotional commitment has negative effect on passive collective-resignation (following the supervisor). The sustained commitment has positive effect on passive collective-resignation (following the colleague). 2.The loyalty to supervisor has remarkable effect on collective-resignation. Among them, the dimension of recognition internalization is the most remarkable. 3.The effect of the loyalty to supervisor has more influence on passive collective-resignation than organizational commitment. 4.The collective-resignation intentions are divided into three dimensions: initiative collective-resignation intention, passive collective-resignation intention (following the supervisor) and passive collective-resignation intention (following the colleague).

Anestesisjuksköterskans upplevelser av att handleda studenter / Anesthesia nurse's experiences of supervising students

Claesson, Anna, Ohlsson, Lena January 2015 (has links)
I kompetens beskrivningen står det att sjuksköterskan ska medverka vid handledning, undervisning och bedömning av nya sjuksköterskor. Som sjuksköterska/ handledare är du ansvarig för patientsäkerheten och avgör om den som handleds har tillräckligt goda kunskaper att utföra vårdhandlingar. Tidigare studier visar att brist på tid, brist på stöd, bristande erfarenheter och kunskaper har stor betydelse för att kunna ge en bra handledning. Frågan är hur vi kan påverka handledarna till att kunna ge ett bättre handledarskap. Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva anestesisjuksköterskans upplevelser av att handleda studenter. Resultatet bygger på intervjuer som analyserats med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I resultatet framkommer 3 kategorier: utvecklande, behov av samarbete och behov av kompetens. Handledarna tycker att det är roligt, stimulerande och lärorikt med studenter. Handledarna har bra stöd från högskolan och huvudhandledarna gällande utbildningens uppgifter och mål för studenterna. Trots att de flesta inte har handledarutbildning känner de sig trygga i rollen som handledare. Tiden som finns för handledning och reflektion för studenterna är fortfarande otillräcklig och önskemål finns om mer avsatt tid vilket skulle gynna studenternas utveckling i deras yrkesroll. Ytterligare forskning kring handledning och anestesisjuksköterskors upplevelser av att handleda studenter behövs då många studier påtalar brister i och kring handledningsprocessen. / The competence description says that nurses will be involved in tutoring, teaching, and assessment of new nurses or colleagues. As a nurse/ supervisor, you are responsible for patient safety and determine if the mentee has sufficient knowledge to perform nursing actions. Previous studies show that lack of time, lack of support and lack of experience and knowledge is of great importance to be able to give a good supervision. The question is how we can influence the supervisors to be able to provide better supervision. The purpose of this study is to describe the nurse anesthetist experience of tutoring students. The results are based on interviews which were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The result shows three categories: development, the need for cooperation and the need for expertise. The supervisors think it is fun, stimulating and instructive with students. The supervisors have good support from the university and main facilitators regarding the training tasks and goals for the students. Although most do not have supervisors they feel safe in the role of supervisor. The time available for instruction and reflection for students is still too small and desires are about dedicating more time to the benefit of the students' development in their professional role. Further research into the guidance and anesthesia nurses' experiences of tutoring students needed because many studies complain of short comings in and around the tutoring process.

Unethical Pro-Organizational Behaviors: Antecedents and Boundary Conditions

Ilie, Alexandra 01 January 2012 (has links)
The goals of the current study were to examine the antecedents and boundary conditions of a new construct called unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) defined as behaviors that are unethical but at the same time helping the organizations (e.g., giving a low performing employee a letter of recommendation to help him/her find a job in another organization). Drawing from social exchange theory, antecedents such as leader-member exchange, perceived organizational support, idiosyncratic deals, and leader-member exchange were hypothesized to be positively related to UPB Three moderators of the impact of the social exchange variables on UPB: were also investigated: moral identity, psychological entitlement, and supervisor's embodiment of the organization. Data was collected in a cross-sectional survey from 269 employees and 144 supervisors. The hypotheses were tested using correlations and moderated multiple regressions. The results indicate that none of the hypotheses were supported. However, there were some interesting unexpected findings as some social exchange variables were found to correlate negatively with UPB. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.

An Investigation of OCB Demands and Workplace Behaviors

Bauer, Jeremy Allen 01 January 2013 (has links)
Abstract The current study investigated the relationship between demands for organizational citizenship behaviors and future displays of organizational citizenship and counterproductive work behaviors. Such demands are conceptualized as workplace conditions that make it difficult for employees to complete their job (i.e., organizational constraints), performance failures of coworkers such as incomplete or incorrectly done tasks (i.e., coworker failure) and direct or indirect request from the supervisors to commit more organizational citizenship behaviors (i.e., supervisor pressure). Additionally, the effect of negative affectivity, hostile attribution bias, attributions of blame, and target specific scales of workplace behaviors were investigated. The design of the current study is prospective with a one week time lag between two self-report surveys. 464 employed U.S. residents were recruited through Amazon's M-Turk service. Of the initial 464 participants, 183 also completed the second survey a week later. New scales were created to assess coworker failure, supervisor pressure, attributions of blame, and target specific behaviors. The evidence from this study suggests that coworker failure and supervisor pressure are both antecedents to future displays of organizational citizenship behaviors and counterproductive work behaviors. Similarly, organizational citizenship behaviors preceded demands for organizational citizenship behaviors reported a week later. The results differed slightly when using target-specific scales of behavior. The hypotheses regarding individual differences and attributions of blame were not supported.

A qualitative study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore Chartered Counselling Psychologists' experiences of supervision

Briggs, David John January 2010 (has links)
This thesis comprises three main sections: a literature review, research report and a critical appraisal of the research process. The literature review is generic across a number of health professions and begins by placing supervision within its historical context followed by an attempt to clarify our current understanding of supervision. The literature relating to effective supervision is presented, with the supervisory working alliance being identified as potentially one of the most important common factors in the change process of supervision (Ellis, 1991). A review of supervision models suggests that they provide a structure for understanding the roles, relationships, responsibilities and processes integral to the practice of supervision. The review attempts to clarify the current state of supervision training, highlighting the lack of attention that has been paid to the process by which individuals learn to become effective supervisees and supervisors. It is concluded that there is a need for further research in the area of training for both supervisees and supervisors. The research report comprises a qualitative study using interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore the supervision experiences of six Chartered Counselling Psychologists. The thematic content that emerged indicated a lack of preparation for the role of supervisee and a lack of formal training for the supervisory role. The findings revealed that the participants relied upon self-directed learning, their previous experience and their therapeutic skills to inform their supervisory practice. The findings also highlighted the critical role of the supervisory relationship for both supervisee and supervisor in managing the anxieties generated by this lack of preparation and training as well as in supporting the learning and development of all involved in the relationship. The final section is the researcher’s critical appraisal of the research process.
