Hsiao, Wei-chi 19 January 2009 (has links)
Globalization is viewed as a centuries-long process, its various aspects which affect the world in several different ways such as industrial emergence of worldwide production markets and broader access to a range of foreign products for consumers and companies (Craig, C.S, 2003). Under globalization, companies meet the increasing challenge to fulfill the demands of markets. In order to response to market effectively and make best use of resources globally, IBM brought up a concept of ¡¥Global Integrated Enterprise (GIE)¡¦ in 2007. GIE affects companies and industries in the practices of organization transformation greatly. Advantech experienced the decline of growth from the middle of 2006. In order to obtain the competitive advantage, the company seeks for organization transformation. GIE is introduced to Advantech in the middle of 2007. Advantech began to arrange GIE transformation strategies and implemented GIE transformation in 2008 officially. While Advantech implements GIE transformation, it requires support functions to provide correspondent systems in organization transformation processes. Talent management is one of the most important issues for Advantech to deal with. Therefore, Advantech implements the talent management model which includes the functions of talent identification, talent development, talent deployment, and talent connection simultaneously. This research presumes that there are positive effects out of the implementation of talent management model. The expected effects include: 1) organization capabilities which are evoked by the implementation of talent development practices, 2) alignment which is affected by the implementation of talent deployment practices, and 3) employee commitment which is inspired by the implementation of talent connection practices. To continue, this research assumes that the implementation of talent management model is effective in terms of positive performance. Hence, this research aims at interpreting the relationship between capabilities, alignment, commitment, and organizational performance.

The effects of organizational and inter-personal factors on the willingness of knowledge sharing: An empirical study in technology industry

Huang, Chiung-hui 25 June 2007 (has links)
In the development of knowledge economy, knowledge is recognized as the most important resource for enhancing or sustaining competition advantage. It is also a key factor for maintaining the long-term success of organizations. The beginning and an important stage of knowledge management is knowledge sharing which is the key to organization creation, learning, performance, and the prediction of successful knowledge management. It will increase the accumulation of organizational knowledge and advance the organizational ability. Knowledge management is traditionally dominated by the viewpoint of information technology. Researchers have emphasized the importance of information technology infrastructure and application in knowledge delivery. However, while explicit knowledge sharing is depended on the utilization of information technology, studies also indicated that tacit knowledge sharing is mainly depended on informal interaction between co-workers¡¦ emotional and the degree of trust. Drawing on the perspective of social exchange theory, this research considers knowledge sharing as a social activity which is an exchange relationship between knowledge contributors and knowledge recipients¡]refer to team-member exchange, TMX¡^. In addition, the interaction between knowledge contributors and knowledge recipients is affected by the relationship between organization-member exchange¡]OMX¡^and leader-member exchange¡]LMX¡^. Therefore, this article investigates the factors which affect the willingness of knowledge sharing by considering the interaction and exchange relationship among individuals and organizations, managers, and other members in organizations. The individual and organization exchange relationship includes the challenging job characteristic and incentive system which provide by the organizations to motivate employees¡¦ knowledge sharing. Moreover, the inter-personal social exchange includes the interaction between co-workers and the interaction between individuals and managers. Employees would share their knowledge if they perceived the benefit of the interaction (either intrinsic or extrinsic) exceeded the cost (losing the power of holding the critical knowledge) of sharing the knowledge. This research investigated how organizational factors (including job characteristics and incentive system), inter-personal factors (including trust and social support between co-workers and leader-member interaction), and team commitment effect the willingness of knowledge sharing. Further, the article also took the team commitment as the mediator and the account of the knowledge characteristics (both importance and taciturnity) into consideration as the moderators. The hypotheses were tested using a sample of R&D team members who work at Hsinchu Science Park or Southern Taiwan Science Park. The twenty-eight technology firms were selected using convenience sampling. Out of the 1,220 questionnaires had been sent, the 650 of them were completed. The data were tested using one way ANOVA, correlation, and hierarchical multiple regression. The results indicated that organizational factors, inter-personal factors, and team commitment have positively related to the willingness of knowledge sharing. The team commitment fully mediated the relationship between willingness of knowledge sharing and incentive system, and leader-member interaction. The team commitment partially mediated the relationship between willingness of knowledge sharing and job characteristics, and co-worker interaction. In addition, the article also found that job characteristics, co-worker interaction, leader-member interaction, and team commitment were more strongly, positively related to the willingness of knowledge sharing when knowledge importance and taciturnity were being driven.

The Relationship among Transformational Leadership, Organizational Commitment and Citizenship Behavior ¡ÐThe case of Expatriates

FU, SU-YUNG 01 February 2001 (has links)
With the intensified competition in the world¡¦s economy, the globalization of business has become the only way to ensure its growth. At the same time, expatriates actually play a very important role. Moreover, as global operations increase, so does the emphasis on adaptability outside the home country for expatriates. Experience has indicated that the problem of adaptability for expatriates is Work-Family Conflict. The fact reveals the important of research on expatriate¡¦s leadership and effectiveness. Over the last decade and a half, transformational leadership with its emphasis on vision, development of the individual empowerment and challenging traditional assumptions has become a popular model of leadership in business organizations. It means that transformational leadership in organizational settings has undergone a significant evolution in terms of both theory development and empirical investigations. In the area of transformational leadership, much attention has been given to Bass and Avolio¡¦s research. Bass and Avolio proposed that transformational leadership comprises four dimensions ¡V the ¡§Four I¡¦s¡¨ ¡G1.Charismatic Leadership 2.Inspirational Motivation 3.Intellectural Stimulation 4.Individualized Consideration. Transformational leadership is different from the traditional command-and-control approach (transactional leadership). Transactional leadership is based on bureaucratic authority and legitimacy within the organization. Transactional leaders emphasize work standards and task-oriented goals. In addition, Transactional leaders tend to focus on task completion and employee compliance, and these leaders rely quite heavily on organizational rewards and punishments to influence employee performance. On the other hand, transformational leaders motivate followers by appealing to higher ideals and moral values. Transformational leaders must be able to define and articulate a vision for their organizations, and the followers must accept the credibility of the leader. In the managerial practices, a transformational leader must: 1.Setting a good personal example, move quick and decisively. 2.Develop and communicate a vision and a plan. 3.Releasing the potential of everyone involved in the change to help them to rise to the challenge. 4.Create productive working conditions, provide employees continuous skill development and encourage them rapid learning and adaptation. Another important article of organizational behavior is organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has been seen as one of the most important variables in the study of management and organizational behavior in the last three decades. One of the key reasons is that organizational commitment is highly correlated with turnover intentions, which have an important effect on employees¡¦ behaviors. Therefore, both organizational commitment and turnover intentions are important employee attitudes in maintaining a productive workforce. In addition, many researches have indicated that job satisfaction and organizational commitment are all significant correlates of organizational citizenship behavior. Today¡¦s competitive business environment demands employees who are good citizens- individuals willing to extend themselves to help coworkers and their employers. Organizational citizenship behavior is expressed in actions that show an unselfish concern for the welfare of others. A recent study found that the extent to which employees engage in ¡§good organizational citizenship behavior¡¨ is just as important as their productivity in advancing their careers. Good behavior includes: 1.altruism 2.courtesy 3.civic virtue. In this study, we use transformational leadership as independent variables, organizational commitment as intermediate variables and organizational citizenship behavior as dependent variables. The purpose of this research is mainly to find out the relationship and difference among transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Using a sample of multinational companies who have subsidiaries operating in Taiwan, we test a set of hypotheses among the variables. Then, the effective questionnaires have been analyzed by factor analysis, descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation. The results of this research indicated that: 1. Individual variables do have significant difference on transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. 2. Transformational leadership has positive relation with organizational commitment. 3. Transformational leadership has positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. 4. Organizational commitment has positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. 5. Transformational leadership and organizational commitment have positive relation with organizational citizenship behavior. The organizational commitment is the important key to enhance the positive relation between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior. According to the results, some suggestions are made for both industries and further researchers in this field. 1. To the industries: Leaders must emphasize the transformational leadership¡¦s skill, in order to increase employees¡¦ organizational commitment and present organizational citizenship behavior. 2. To the further researchers: ¡]1¡^To research the relationship between ethics and transformational leadership. ¡]2¡^To research the relationship and difference of cross-culture among transformational leadership, organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Key word: Expatriate, Transformational Leadership, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behavior.

The nursing staffs become the main target to lower staffing cost¡Aso recruited the flexibility in nursing manpower followed. This study focuses to investigate a hospital how to utilize different working status nursing staffs and analysis they in organization commitment¡Bjob satisfaction and performance. The results are as follows¡G The nursing staff's age mostly range between 21-25, mean working years is 6.45. In functional flexibility, the formal staff is the first member to transfer place. In number flexibility, the hospital recruited contingent workers to resolve the manpower shortage. In time flexibility, part-timers could fit the vacancy in manpower of numbers and some intervals times. Estimate the cost¡Gthe part-timers part could save about NT$ 2 million dollars per year, but the temporary-contract part paid more around NT$1 million dollars in recruitment. The part-timers in moral commitment, calculative commitment, working condition and performance are below than the formal staffs. In educational level, the occupational staffs are higher than the university level staffs, but no different about job satisfaction. In married status, unmarried workers are lower than the married employees. Over 40 years old workers in many parts are higher than the 25-29 years old. More than 20 working years staffs compare with 3-5 years shows different results. The regression model exhibits formal staffs, higher supervisor ability and lower working condition then the working performance is high. Calculative commitment is different from many other parts. Total accident events and working status shows significant difference. The fall event and working status, age also have significant difference. According to the above results, this study suggests the consideration about cost, when the hospital hire the contingent workers, it still need to provide enough on-job training opportunity and other relative procedures then could maximum the efficiency of the flexibility utilization in manpower.

A Field Study of The Relationship among Salesperson's Personality, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors in Chunghwa Telecom

Wang, May-Jane 30 July 2001 (has links)
Abstract Over the past decades, with different theories of personality, many scholars had attempted to explore the relationship between personality traits and job performance. Though plenty substantial conclusions were inducted; however, a systematic integration is still required. Not until 1990s, academics, such as Digman, Hough, John and Kamp began to organize and review the past related study and proposed a milestone theory called "Big Five", which provides a specific direction for recent empirical research and study to follow in. This research cooperated with Chunghwa Telecom, which transformed from a government organization into a company system and therefore emphasized on the service and achievements of sales department to meet strong t competition. Looking back to the concerning researches about sales personnel management; the personality traits of sales personnel were highly emphasized by supervisors in the selection and administration of sales personnel. When observing the qualities of sales careers, the activities of sales are considered getting involved into frequent personal interaction and acting with independence. There's no direct relationship between job description, performance evaluation and the behaviors which are performed actively by sales staffs and can benefit customers, colleges, supervisors and organizations. Researcher believes that successful performance evaluation should stress on not only productivity evaluation but also Organizational Citizenship Behaviors to elevate the overall effectiveness and efficiency of organization. This research took 218 sales personnel in Chunghwa Telecom as the study object, attempted to construct the influencial model of salesperson's personality traits and OCB with LISREL, as well as to examine the intermediary effect in this model. The result shows personality besides directly effects Organizational Commitment and OCB, it also influences OCB through Organizational Commitment. The goodness-of-fit to structural equation model is acceptable. Expecting the result of this research reminds administrators pay much attention to the relationship among Personality, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behaviors of sales personnel and in addition, provides a profound and significant logic for enterprises in the selection and administration of sales personnel. Keywords: Big Five, Personality, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
