Core Self-Evaluations and Job Satisfaction: The Role of Organizational and Community EmbeddednessOyler, Jennifer D. 03 December 2007 (has links)
This study extends job embeddedness and job satisfaction theory in several notable directions. As hypothesized, structural equation modeling revealed that community embeddedness was a partial mediator of the relationship between core self-evaluations and job satisfaction. Contrary to job embeddedness theory, this study found that organizational embeddedness and job satisfaction were best represented by a single latent factor. Thus, organizational embeddedness did not act as a mediator of the relationship between core self-evaluations and job satisfaction nor did it act as a multiple mediator with community embeddedness. Explanations of these results and new avenues for research are discussed. / Ph. D.

An investigation into job satisfaction levels of employees in the North West housing corporation / Gadifele Rahaba MogotsiMogotsi, Gadifele Rahaba 11 January 2016 (has links)
This research seeks to understand and explain job satisfaction levels, dissatisfaction and
turnover at the North West Housing Corporation in the Department of Local Government and
Traditional Affairs. It is a six-fold study; with level one addressing the background of the
study paying particular attention to a number of areas which include the statement of the
problem, objectives of the study. research questions and others. Secondly it looks at the
background of the North West Housing Corporation and how it was established. Thirdly this
study presents the background theory of this research in terms of the various approaches and
theories pertaining to the subject of job satisfaction. controversies and raging academic
debates that seek to push the thinking of the subject forward. Fourthly, it addresses the
methodology adopted in this research. Fifthly. it presents empirical descriptive and analytical
empirical findings of the research. Lastly, it presents the overall conclusion of this study. It is
important to recognise that by paying particular attention to job satisfaction levels,
dissatisfaction and turnover at the North West Housing Corporation, using approaches and
theories developed elsewhere, this study breaks new ground in pushing the thinking around
this topic in ways in which others have not appreciated. The method used by the researcher
was a questionnaire to collect data from there pendent.
From the literature survey, it was established by this research that the work performance of
employees does help an organisation to improve service delivery. Alongside this various
approaches and theories to job satisfaction were survey at great detail in this research. The
relationship between job satisfaction and employee was also addressed within the context of
the literature survey in this study. Inconsistencies within the literature concerning turnover
were also found especially with regard to the uncertainty surrounding both definition and
measurement of job satisfaction. Within this context it was found that the concept of job
satisfaction was strongly connected to an employee· s intention to leave present employment
which triggered turnover within that particular organisation. The literature survey of this
research is very broad and wide paying particular attention to the raging debates and
controversies around the topic under study in ways that contribute to the understanding of the
social science disciplines.
The empirical findings of this research have been presented in ways that strengthen the
understanding and explanation of job satisfaction, dissatisfaction and turnover. It was found
that the human resource management did not adequately address aspects relating to the job
satisfaction of its employees and that negatively impacted on productivity. This study sought
to attribute this failure to the transformation process that was under way at the time when the
research was undertaken. It fol lows therefore that this research could not confirm the notion
that job satisfaction was connected to an employee's intention to leave present employment
and therefore resulting in turnover with in the Corporation as suggested by the survey
literature. The inconsistencies found in the literature were confirmed when tested against the
research findings of this study. This study established that there was turnover, with some
employees moving out of the Corporation, but for reasons that could not be explained by any
single factor. It is therefore noteworthy that the empirical findings of this study are presented
in ways that contributes to the understanding and explanation of the topic under study. / Thesis (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2011

Setting a research agenda for job insecurity in South African organisations / Marié van WykVan Wyk, Marié January 2007 (has links)
In the current South African context, job insecurity has become a phenomenon to be
reckoned with. Although research on this phenomenon is still scarce, a growing interest in the
perceived experience of job insecurity and its different underlying constructs is obvious from
the increase of job insecurity research. A comprehensive summary of previous research
studies and relevant outcomes is therefore relevant. Up to now, South African studies on job
insecurity have accepted the assumptions and context of international research studies on job
insecurity. It is now time to investigate the influence of the South Afncan context on this
phenomenon and to include this background in future studies.
The main objective of this study was to review, investigate, compare, evaluate and interpret
existing research, conducted internationally and nationally, in order to set a research agenda
through proposing a theoretical model for job insecurity in South Afncan organisations. The
model will primarily serve as an academic tool to new research scholars to identify new
research problems, existing sources of information, relevant measuring instruments, and
contextual variables that may be of interest. The model will also be applicable as a
management tool to understand and deal with job insecurity in South Ahcan organisations.
A qualitative, descriptive research design was followed to perform content analysis and an
extensive literature review. Results of the qualitative content analysis were enhanced with
semi-structured interviews with managers from different organisations (N = 24).
Results indicated gaps between international and South African research studies as well as
the gaps indicated between theory and practice. This was indicated by a comparison between
the South African research results and the results from the semi-structured interviews with
selected managers. These results were integrated into a proposed model for job insecurity in
order to serve as a guideline for future research. It also serves as a tool for managers to be
aware of the presence of job insecurity, and to enable them to improve their management
intervention.
Conclusions and limitations of the study were discussed and recommendations for
organisations and for future research were made. / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.
