The relationship between perceived career mobility, career mobility preference, job satisfaction and orgarnizational commitmentJoao, Tanzia Frances 11 1900 (has links)
The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between perceived career mobility, career mobility preference, job satisfaction and organisational commitment. A secondary objective was to determine whether various age, gender, tenure, marital status and race groups differed significantly regarding their perceived career mobility, career mobility preference, job satisfaction and organisational commitment. A perceived career mobility scale and career mobility preference scale, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (short form) and the Organisational Commitment Scale, were applied to a non-probability convenience sample consisting of 82 South African accountants, auditors and financial staff members.
Significant relationships were observed between the variables. Significant differences were found between age and race groups‟ perceived career mobility, gender and tenure groups‟ career mobility preference, and age and tenure groups‟ organisational commitment. The findings contribute valuable new knowledge that may be used to inform retention practices in the financial sector. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial & Organisational Psychology)

Die invloed van prestasiewaardes op organisasieverbintenis van werknemers in die motornywerheidDiedericks, Phillippus Cornelius 11 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Text in Afrikaans / Die doel van hierdie verkennende studie was om ondersoek in te stel na die prestasiewaardes
onderliggend aan Affektiewe, Kontinulteits- en Normatiewe organisasieverbintenis van
werknemers binne die motorywerheid in Suid-Afrika. 'n Steekproef van 113 werknemers is uit
verskillende motorhandelaars geselekteer. Daarna is ondersoek ingestel na watter
prestasiewaardes betekenisvolle voorspellers van organisasieverbintenis is. Daar is bevind dat
die prestasiewaardes mededinging en materiele welvaart betekenisvolle voorspellers van affektiewe
organisasieverbintenis is, en dat die prestasiewaardes materiele welvaart en strewe na
uitmuntendheid betekenisvolle voorspellers van kontinuiteitsorganisasieverbintenis is, maar dat
geeneen van die prestasiewaardes wat huidig wereldwyd erken word, betekenisvolle
voorspellers van normatiewe organisasieverbintenis in die motomywerheid is nie. Dit het
verreikende irnplikasies vir die Suid-Afrikaanse motorhandelaar. Hierbenewens is dit ook
duidelik uit die navorsingsresultate dat die prestasiewaardes mededinging, materiele welvaart en
strewe na uitmuntendheid hulself daartoe leen om op 'n geintegreerde wyse deur bestuur van
motorhandelaars aangewend te word ten einde hul kumulatiewe invloed op organisasieverbintenis
optimaal te kan benut. / The objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the performance values subjacent
to affective, continuity and normative organisation commitment of employees in the motor industry
in South Africa. A sample of 113 employees was selected from different dealerships.
Thereafter an investigation was done to establish which performance values were meaningful
predictors of organisation commitment. It was found that the performance values competition and
material gain were meaningful predictors of affective organisation commitment, and the performance
values material gain and excellence were meaningful predictors of continuity organisation
commitment, but that none of the performance values which are contemporarily recognised world-wide
were meaningful predictors of normative organisation commitment. This has far-reaching
implications for South African motor dealers. It was also apparent from the results that the
performance values competition, material gain and excellence can be utilized in an integrated way
by management of motor dealers in order to ensure optimal utilization of their cumulative impact on
organisation commitment. / Industrial psychology / M.Com. (Industrial Psychology)

The impact of organisational culture on organisational commitmentManetje, Ophillia Maphari 30 November 2005 (has links)
A review of the literature reveals that organisational commitment is an outcome of organisational culture, when reviewing the definitions, theoretical development and models of these two concepts.
The integration of organisational commitment with organisational culture indicates that there is a need for a scientific study to determine the relationship between these two variables.
The empirical study involved the participation of 371 respondents in an organisation. A survey was conducted using the organisational commitment scale and the organisational culture questionnaire to determine the relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment. The results suggest that organisational culture has an effect on organisational commitment. Recommendations are made to successfully implement both organisational culture and organisational commitment change initiatives. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)

Relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitmentLatchigadu, Chantal Micaela 03 1900 (has links)
Corporate culture is believed to be integral to organisational success and sustainability. This research study was conducted according to a humanistic, positive psychology and an open systems paradigm in order to examine the theoretical relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment.
The quantitative measuring instruments used for data collection were the Harrison and Stokes organisational culture questionnaire (OCQ) and Allen and Meyer’s organisational commitment scale (OCS). The empirical study involved respondents from a selected IT company in the KwaZulu-Natal region.
This study revealed that there was no significant relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment. However, there was a difference between the existing and preferred power culture as well as the existing and preferred role culture dimensions.
The main recommendation for this study is that the selected IT company should set stretch targets with a focus on common vision, purpose and company values, with a strong emphasis on creating meaningful rewards for top performers at both individual and team level. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.

Gender and age differences between managers and employees on organisational commitment in selected factories in the Buffalo City Metropolitan areaQwabe, Nombali Palesa January 2013 (has links)
Employee commitment is one of the most important aspects that help an organisation achieve its desired goals. This study investigates the possible effects of gender and age differences between managers and employees on organisational commitment among lower-level employees in selected factories in the Buffalo City Metropolitan area. The organisational commitment instrument used in this research is the Meyer and Allen (1997) organisational commitment questionnaire which contains 18 items (6 items for each scale: affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment). For this purpose, a sample of 100 lower-level employees was used. The results indicated significant differences in the unexpected directions in affective commitment and continuance commitment between male employees supervised by male managers and male employees supervised by female managers; male employees were found to have higher levels of affective and continuance commitment when supervised by female managers. Female employees were found to have a higher level of normative commitment when supervised by male managers than when supervised by female managers which was also in the unexpected direction. In addition, the study showed surprising results in terms of the social or cultural hypothesis where employees supervised by male managers and older managers were not significantly different in organisational commitment to those managed by female and by younger or same-age managers.
