The Effect of Perceptions of Organizational Politics on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors-An analysis of differences of party identification in TaiwanPa, Chao-Jui 09 July 2004 (has links)
The study of practical politics always involves parties, ethnics, electoral structure as well as election. Likewise, the study of organizational politics is mainly related to organizational members, job environment, organizational factors and effects on performances. Few studies have ever focused on analyzing the association between practical politics and organizational politics. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to examine whether there exists a difference between perceptions of organizational politics and organizational citizenship behaviors while practical politics is interwoven with organizational politics. This study also addresses whether the effect of perceptions of organizational politics on organizational citizenship behaviors will vary with party identification.
Data for this study is drawn from the secondary data, 1632 sample size collected by Dr. Chin-ming Ho and his research team throughout 2002. It is found using the univariate analysis 1) that party identification has no significant effect on perceptions of organizational politics, 2) that part identification had significant differences in the dimension of ¡§interpersonal harmony¡¨ and ¡§protecting company resources¡¨ among organizational citizenship behaviors, and KMT-prone respondents were more significant than no-specific-party respondents, 3) that party identification showed significant differences in the dimensions of perceptions of organizational politics and organizational citizenship behaviors, 4) that the effects of party identification on the dimensions of organizational citizenship behaviors were different after perceiving organizational politics; that is, DPP & TSU -prone respondents showed great effects in the dimension of ¡§interpersonal harmony¡¨, as well as KMT & PFP -prone and no-specific-party respondents had significant effects in the dimensions of ¡§protecting company resources¡¨ and ¡§conscientiousness¡¨, and 5) that perceptions of organizational politics among respondents with different party identification had significant effects on organizational citizenship behaviors. To sum up, organizational citizenship behaviors of KMT-prone respondents were influenced less by perceptions of organizational politics, while no-specific-party respondents were influenced more by perceptions of organizational politics.

A Study of the Relationship between Psychological Contract Fulfillments and Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Perspectives of Social Exchange Theory and Motivational TheoryShih, Chih-Ting 20 July 2005 (has links)
The present study integrated social exchange theory and motivational perspective to explore the mediating role of felt obligation and boundary condition of personal motives in the relationship between psychological contract fulfillments (PCF) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). We hypothesized that (a) PCF exerts influences on OCB through felt obligation; (b) the PCF-OCB relationship would be stronger when employees are high in altruistic and high in egoistic motive. Accordingly, an integrative model of exchange theory and motivational theory would be proposed to simultaneously examine the mediated effect and interactive effect on organizational citizenship behaviors.
We tested the hypothesized model by using data of supervisor-subordinate dyads. Data are collected through employees¡¦ self-reports and employees¡¦ supervisors, so two questionnaires are use. Obtaining measures of the predictor and criterion variables from different source is one of the procedures used to control common method bias, a critical limitation in cross-sectional correlational research (Podsakoff, MacKenzie, and Lee, 2003). A sample of 485 supervisor-subordinate dyad was obtained from supervisory MBA graduates and their randomly-selected subordinates. All survey measures process the back translation procedure recommended by Brislin (1980) to assure the equivalence before administration. Confirmatory factor analysis is employed to examine the psychometric properties of all measures used. Finally, to test hypotheses, structure equation modeling using statistical package Liseral 8.5 and hierarchical moderated regression were employed.
Resulted showed that social exchange theory and motives significantly explained the PCF-OCB association in different way, as we expected. First, we found that felt obligation is influenced by balance and relational PCF and then in turn has impact on etic OCB, while transactional PCF had no effects on either felt obligation or two forms of OCBs. Additionally, results strongly suggested that the negative effect of transactional PCF on OCB occurred for people low in altruistic motive to help, but would be positive associated for people high in altruistic motive. The findings signify that altruistic motive interacted in such a way that a strong altruistic motive was needed to buffer the negative effect of transactional PCF on etic OCB. It¡¦s important to note that transactional PCF had no direct effect on any forms of OCB, thus it appeared that altruistic motive played a role of ¡§switch¡¨ to activate the relationship between transactional PCF and every forms of OCB. Finally, we found altruistic motive, instead of egoistic motive, is the key determinant for OCB.

Research of Relation between Employment Status and Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Control YuanLi, Li-shien 07 February 2006 (has links)
In the past studies showed that if employees in the organization perform their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), the service quality and consumer satisfaction will promote. Additionally, OCB is helpful for team interaction and promoting team efficiency. It is because employees will cooperate, help each other or work hard to maintain or push others¡¦ welfare and benefit in their organization. However, there are few studies about how OCB is affected by different employment status in public section, and there is little discussion about moderating variables that affect OCB and employment status.
In the organization, employees are the most important assets, but are the most difficult factor to control. This study is aimed at analyzing in the Control Yuan how employees with different employment status will affect their willingness to perform OCB. Besides, the study tries to find if ¡§working reason¡¨ and ¡§turnover intention¡¨ of contracted employees will affect the performance of their OCB.
The major findings of this study are as following: (1) Relative to formal employees, contracted employees are less faithful than formal employees. Additionally, the contracted employees with turnover intention are less en-teamed than formal employees. There is not significantly different between ¡§devotion¡¨, ¡§loyalty¡¨ and ¡§activity¡¨. (2) In moderating variables about working reasons, no matter that contracted employees get the job willingly or unwillingly, there is no significant difference in their performance of OCB. (3) In moderating variables about turnover intention, the OCB of contracted employee is affected by turnover intertion in ¡§en-team¡¨ and ¡§position-fulfill¡¨. However, there is no significant difference in ¡§devotion¡¨, ¡¨loyalty¡¨ and ¡§activity¡¨ between formal employees and contracted employees.

The Relationship between Psychological Contract Fulfillment and Employee Behavior:The Moderating Effect of PersonalityHuang, Chen-ying 21 August 2006 (has links)
In the traditional employment relationship, contract is an essential element to sustain the mutual relationship between employer and employee. In recent years, with the changes of business environment brought forward by the increasing globalization of business and by the dramatic rise in the numbers of mergers and restructurings, there has been a transformation of employment relationship. Psychological contract, a special type of contract, has become increasingly important under such dynamic environment.
After reviewing previous academic researches, we found that the issue about the concept of psychological contract was found in relation with employees¡¦ behavior. Based on the previous opinion, this study expects to prove that psychological contract fulfillment is strongly related to employees¡¦ behavior. We also discuss the moderating effect of personality on the relationship between psychological contract fulfillment and employees¡¦ behavior. We therefore intend to use questionnaire survey and using Taiwanese corporate with intention to prove the hypothesis of this paper.
The major finding of this study are as following¡G
1¡BDifferent types of psychological contracts fulfillment
are positively related to employees¡¦in-role behavior.
2¡BDifferent types of psychological contracts fulfillment
have different impact on organizational citizenship
behaviors directed at other individuals within the
organization.
3¡BPersonality has no moderating effect on the relationship
between psychological contract fulfillment and
employees¡¦ behavior.

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

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