Clima organizacional no contexto de organização em processo de pré-fusão: um estudo de caso de uma indústria alimentícia / The organizational climate in a pre-acquisition process: a case study in a food company

Beker, Carolina Harumi Koshima 25 April 2006 (has links)
O questionamento deste estudo refere-se à influência da incerteza oriunda de um contexto onde as organizações vivenciam processos de pré-fusão sobre os indivíduos que as compõem. Esta questão surgiu a partir de vivência da pesquisadora que, em seu último desafio profissional participou de um processo de alienação (saída do investidor) de um fundo de private equity no capital acionário de uma indústria alimentícia. Os objetivos do trabalho foram: descrever os problemas que ocorrem em um processo de pré-fusão e conhecer as percepções sobre o clima organizacional neste contexto. Buscou-se neste trabalho respostas para questões como se há elementos no contexto de pré-fusão que influenciem a satisfação de seus colaboradores, se alguma ação oriunda dos gestores podem melhorar a condição de trabalho dos mesmos nesta situação e ainda se Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho é um valor de gestão em períodos onde as organizações vivenciam processos de pré-fusão. Os dados foram levantados através de um conjunto formado pela observação participante da pesquisadora; do mapeamento do clima organizacional realizado através de um questionário elaborado em conjunto com a organização e aplicado, na matriz, a 625 respondentes, o que representou 41% de retorno e foi composto por 11 seções e 132 questões abertas e fechadas; além da validação dos resultados do questionário com duas áreas da empresa através de focus group e de uma entrevista com um profissional responsável por qualidade de vida no trabalho que vivenciou esse contexto em uma seguradora. Baseado nos resultados encontrados, o ponto a ser ressaltado foi justamente a existência de diferentes percepções sobre os mesmos fatos. Conforme constatado, a influência da esfera indivíduo justificou diferentes percepções sobre o clima organizacional. Para alguns colaboradores o clima estava adequado enquanto para outros não, ou seja, as disfunções nem sempre podem ser vistas pelo lado organizacional e sim do indivíduo. Enquanto para uns houve muito incômodo relacionado à incerteza da pré-fusão, para outros, o impacto foi menor ou mesmo nenhum, muitas vezes até por desconhecimento do fato. Para aqueles que se incomodaram, existiram inclusive queixas físicas como desânimo, incômodo e dores de cabeça, estômago e taquicardia. As informações da entrevista sobre a seguradora levaram ao questionamento sobre a presença constante dessas queixas nesses casos, visto que foram comuns. Um outro ponto a ser ressaltado foi a percepção do próprio questionamento sobre o clima organizacional como uma ação dos gestores visto que conseqüências decorrentes da análise dos resultados foram a investigação de pontos passíveis de melhoria como o relacionamento dos superiores com seus colaboradores e ações futuras que possam levar a uma maior performance do trabalho dos colaboradores. Já na seguradora, pouco foi feito, além da manutenção das ações já presentes. Em ambos os casos o que se constatou foi a falta de espaço para valores na gestão como Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho. / The questioning of this study refers to the influence of the uncertainty, generated by a context in which corporations experience a pre-acquisition process, on their individuals. This questioning emerged from the author’s latest professional experience in a food company where a private equity fund was in a process of selling its stake. The study objectives were: to describe the problems generated by a pre-acquisition process and in this context, to evaluate the organizational climate. This work tried to answer the following questions: are there elements in the pre-acquisition context that influence the individuals motivation and can an action taken by the company managers improve the individuals work condition under such a context and also if the Quality of Life at Work is a management value in periods were corporations face a pre-acquisition process. The data was collected by the author’s observation as a participant and by a questionnaire formulated by the company together with the author and applied at the company’s headquarters with 625 respondents, a 41% return rate. This questionnaire had 11 sections and 132 open and closed questions. Finally, the results were validated by a focus group in two areas of the company and also by interviewing a professional responsible for quality of lifework that experienced a similar process in an insurance company. Based on the results obtained, the focus point to be detached is the difference on the perception of the same facts among individuals. As evidenced, the influence of the individuals sphere explained different perceptions of the organizational environment. While for a group of individuals the organizational environment was fine, for others it was not, which means that the dysfunction can not always be seen by an organizational perspective. Sometimes it has to be seen by an individual perspective. While some were negatively affected by the uncertainty surrounding the period before the acquisition, others were less affected or not affected at all, several times due to the fact that the ongoing acquisition process was unknown by some. For those negatively affected, there were also physical complaints like discourage, headache, stomachache and heartache. The information obtained by the insurance company interview motivated a questioning of a constant presence of those complaints as they were recurrent. It is worth mentioning that the organizational environment questionnaire was perceived by the individuals as a management action as it prompted an study of possible changes to improve for example the relation between management and employees and the work performance of individuals. On the insurance company, not much was done but maintaining the ongoing actions. In both cases this work found out a management lack of room for values such as Quality of Live at Work.

The Impact Of Perceptions Of Ethical Work Climates And Organizational Justice On Workplace Deviance

Yuksel, Suna 01 October 2012 (has links) (PDF)
The current study analyzes the impact of ethical work climates (caring, law and code, rules, instrumental and independence climates) and perceptions of organizational justice (distributive, procedural and interactional justice) on workplace deviance (organizational and interpersonal deviance) which is associated with huge financial, social and psychological costs for the organizations and organizational members. The findings of the research are based on a quantitative survey conducted among 219 employees in a public organization. The results obtained after controlling the significant effect of demographic variables revealed that it was only the perceptions of procedural justice that had a significant negative impact on organizational deviance. Distributive and interactional justice predicted neither interpersonal nor organizational deviance. Among the ethical work climates, caring climate was found to be the only ethical climate type that predicted organizational deviance. The remaining types of ethical work climates had significant relationships with neither one of the interpersonal or organizational deviance. Results also showed that ethical work climate was a better predictor of organizational deviance than interpersonal deviance.

Soziale Vergleichsprozesse in Organisationen zwischen Arbeitsklima und -zufriedenheit

Eismann, Christian 15 July 2016 (has links)
Die vorliegende Arbeit vertritt die These, dass kein direkter Zusammenhang zwischen dem Arbeitsklima und der allgemeinen Arbeitszufriedenheit besteht, sondern dass er durch soziale Vergleichsprozesse vermittelt ist. Das Arbeitsklima ist Gegenstand und Moderator sozialer Vergleiche, aus denen Arbeitszufriedenheit resultiert. Das Arbeitsklima beeinflusst damit zwar den Entstehungsprozess von Arbeitszufriedenheit, aber nicht dessen Ausmaß. Von affektiven und regulativen Klimadimensionen gehen unterschiedliche Wirkungsmechanismen aus. Überschreiten soziale Vergleiche die Organisationsgrenze, ändert sich die Logik der Entstehung von Arbeitszufriedenheit.
