This research was to learn the trust of direct leaders from the points of the staff, and to discuss how to influence organizational commitment and job involvement. Since trust of direct leaders was one of the key factors to increase organizational commitment and job involvement, the cohesion will turn up when the staff accept the concern from directors, and the group can collaborate. Therefore, the operation of an organized system and the achievement of assignment were necessary to base on the trust of direct leaders, then it brought the maximum beneficial result. After getting nine hundred and thirty-six available questionnaires, this research used the methods of Analysis of One-Way Factorial Variance, Correlation Analysis, and Analytical Regression Process to get the verification.

In the discovery of the result, individual variables were including the trust of direct leaders, organizational commitment and job involvement. There wasn¡¦t any noticeable difference in sex, but it existed in marriage, age, work experience, education level and position. Moreover, according to the result of the research in Correlation Analysis, the trust of direct leaders, organizational commitment and job involvement caused high positive correlation . It means the degree of the trust of direct leaders is higher, and the staff would have higher organizational commitment, and degree of job identification and involvement. In addition, the work experience with directors was interference variables, and to prove if there was the interference effect in the trust of direct leaders from organizational commitment and job involvement, the verified result revealed that there wasn¡¦t any interference effect in any other factors, except Cognition-based Trust could effect the value and effort commitment . In terms of the collection of this research results, the assumptions approximately existed in Correlation Analysis, and on the contrary, they didn¡¦t exist in interference effect. In conclusion, I had some recommendation for this research to provide the enterprise some different ideas and directions of management.

As time goes by, managers realize that exceptional employees are the crucial factors which affect the success or failure of companies. The attitude and feelings of employees are affected by Job Characteristics, and it will further affect the Job Involvement of employees. When employees go into the works which are provided with good job characteristics, managers still need considering the differences between employees. According to some researches, Self-Esteem play an important role in many aspects of employees¡¦ life, so it can be used to measuring the differences between employees. The purposes of the study are to explore the relationship between job characteristics and job involvement, then add self-esteem as a moderator variable to explore the relationship among these variables and make further suggestions to modern companies for arranging job duties and selecting employees. The objects of the study were the Taiwan workers of a case company. The study adopted a convenience sampling method. 200 questionnaires were distributed and resulted in 177 valid responses, comprising the effective return rate of 88.5%. The software SPSS was used for correlation analysis, regression analysis and T test to test the hypothesis. The findings show that there is a significant positive correlation between job characteristics and job involvement, then add self-esteem as a moderator variable to find that there is still a significant positive correlation between job characteristics and job involvement in those workers who are in high level of self-esteem ; on the other hand, there isn¡¦t a positive relationship between job identity, job feedback and job involvement in those workers who are in low level of self-esteem. But there is still a positive relationship between skill variety, job importance, job autonomy, and job involvement.

The purposes of this study are: 1) to demonstrate the concept of perceptions of organizational politics, job involvement, and job stress by means of literature review, 2) to address the effect of perceptions of organizational politics on job involvement and job stress through the evidence-based analysis, 3) to analyze which type of perceptions of organizational politics will increase job involvement or reduce job stress, 4) to provide the recommendations about how to improve job involvement as well as reduce job stress based upon the study results. The target sample contained one military institution, two administrative institutions, one public corporation, and two public schools through sampling. Data for this study were drawn from questionnaire surveys. Based upon the evidence-based analysis, it was found: 1) there was a slightly significant difference in the demography variable of after-grouped dimension of perceptions of organizational politics, 2) job involvement of employees was associated with the types of perceptions of organizational politics; among them, the ¡§optimism-and-communication-oriented¡¨ group had the highest job involvement, 3) job stress of employees was connected with the types of perceptions of organizational politics; among them, the ¡§dictatorship-and-authority-oriented¡¨ group endured the most job stress, 4) ¡§the distance between policies and practices¡¨ played a critical role in the effect of before-grouped dimension of perceptions of organizational politics on job involvement; there was no significant effect in the after-grouped dimension of perceptions of organizational politics, and 5) the effect of before- or after-grouped dimension of perceptions of organizational politics on job stress was dependent on the types.

While enterprises are facing competitions from the business environment, they not only rely on progress and innovation but also should understand how to maintain their competitive advantages in order to survive in the fierce and capricious business world. Nowadays, the labor market has been changing rapidly. Decreasing personnel costs and increasing the flexibility in using manpower is a critical factor contributing enterprises¡¦ adoption of dispatched workers. Ever since the business of dispatched manpower has been legally taking effect in Taiwan in 1999, the business already becomes one of the channels for job seekers to look for appropriate jobs. Moreover, enterprises also take advantage of dispatched workers to look for workers fit for their organizations and meanwhile, cut down costs. However, as dispatched workers are widely accepted, it is important to know how to effectively manage dispatched workers within an organization, how to increase their organizational identification and job involvement and furthermore increase overall work performance. There are numerous studies of dispatched workers, such as studies of the welfare condition and job satisfaction of dispatched workers. This study aims at understanding whether or not dispatched workers have different organizational identification and job involvement due to their different employment status. Research results can serve as references for enterprises to manage dispatched workers. This study targets at the high-tech industry in Taiwan and distributed 620 questionnaires to regular employees and dispatched workers in the high-tech company. There are 440 questionnaires for regular employees and 180 questionnaires for dispatched workers. 305 valid questionnaires were collected. Research results suggest that¡G 1. The regular workers have higher organizational identification than the dispatched workers. 2. The regular workers have higher job involvement than the dispatched workers. 3. There is the significant effect of organizational identification on job involvement. 4. There is the significant difference between the regular workers and the dispatched workers on the effect of organizational identification on job involvement. Key words: organizational identification, job involvement, dispatched worker.

<p>Känslan av att man alltid ska vara produktiv är medfödd hos oss människor. Att få de anställda att vara motiverade och därmed prestera bra på arbetet är något som blivit en utmaning för arbetsgivarna, eftersom många arbetstagare numera söker arbetstillfredsställelse på andra sätt än bara genom det faktum att man får lön för mödan. För att undersöka huruvida arbetsmotivationen skiljer sig beroende på kön, tjänst och arbetslivserfarenhet genomfördes en enkätundersökning på ett medelstort svenskt företag. Enkäten innehöll fem frågeområden som tillsammans mäter arbetsmotivation. Deltagare var 64 anställda, varav 48 män och 16 kvinnor. Resultaten visade att män värderade engagemang högre än kvinnor gällande arbetsmotivation. I övrigt visade resultaten inga signifikanta skillnader i arbetsmotivation mellan grupperna vilket kan tolkas som att de anställda på det aktuella företaget utgjorde en homogen grupp med likvärdig arbetsmotivation.</p>
