組織中的主管情緒協助:一個調節式中介模式的發展與檢驗 / Emotion Helping by Managers: Development and Testing a Moderated Mediation Model

彭楚茵, Peng, Chu Yin Unknown Date (has links)
在現今多工、多角色而多刺激的工作環境中,人與人因為頻繁的接觸,使得部屬的情緒問題及其影響愈來愈受到組織所重視,其中,主管情緒協助扮演的角色舉足輕重,如何透過主管的行為影響部屬,進而影響整個組織,對管理意涵而言尤其重要。立基於過去情緒協助研究的認知概念,並以資源保存理論的觀點為基礎,本研究探討主管情緒協助的行為層面的內涵與分類,是如何保存與增加部屬的個人資源,而透過資源的變動,對部屬的主觀幸福感與工作疲勞狀況所產生的影響,另外,根據廣義的社會衝擊理論,試圖理解部屬權力距離傾向可能扮演的調節角色。本研究將採問卷調查法施測,第一階段共回收226份問卷,第二階段發放給226位第一階段的填答者,共回收線上問卷152份,因此,共回收有效線上問卷152份,有效回收率約為67%,研究結果顯示,在高部屬權力距離傾向調節的情況下,主管情緒協助會降低個人資源,使其主觀幸福感降低、工作疲勞上升,而在低部屬權力距離傾向調節的情況下,主管情緒協助會提升個人資源,使其主觀幸福感上升、工作疲勞降低。最後,本研究針對研究結果進行討論,並對理論貢獻、實務意涵、研究限制,以及未來研究方向加以闡述。 / The working environments nowadays are multi-work, multi-role and multi-stimulation. The emotion issue of employees is held in high regard today for organizations since people get in touch with each other more frequently. Among them, supervisors’ emotion helping plays an important role in this situation. Moreover, how supervisors’ behaviors affect subordinates, followed by the impact on organization is crucial when it comes to leadership. Based on pervious cognitive knowledge of emotion helping related studies and conservation of resources theory, the main focus of this research is to examine whether supervisors’ emotion helping behaviors are associated with personal resources and the distinctive mediating mechanisms that may explain subordinates’ subjective well being and work fatigue, as well as the classification of emotion helping behaviors. Furthermore, understanding the moderating role of power distance orientation according to broad social impact theory. This study is conducted by questionnaire survey and received 152 replies from subordinates. The results indicated that personal resources mediated the relationship between emotion helping – subjective well-being and emotion helping – work fatigue while subordinate power distance orientation play a moderated role between emotion helping and personal resources. This study contributing to the implications for organizational researches and managerial practices. Furthermore, limitation and future direction were being discussed at the end of this paper.

Specifically, the research seeks to explore if some cultural dimensions of GLOBE Project are related to goal orientation, specifically Learning and Performance Goal Orientation. A quantitative research method was used in the study to collect responses from individuals through an online survey previously elaborated. The relationship between five cultural dimensions and Learning and Performance Goal Orientation were tested through multiple linear regressions to understand if there were significant relationships between them and to test if those were positive or negative. The results supported two out of five hypotheses proposed. Performance Orientation was positively related to Learning Goal Orientation, as well as Institutional Collectivism was negatively related to Performance Goal Orientation. Although the opposite relationship was proposed in the hypothesis, the relationship between High Power Distance and Performance Goal Orientation was significant. Remaining relationships tested did not yield significant findings. Finally, the results obtained could provide important information about specific cultural behaviors needed to engage with to incur and follow a particular goal orientation, as well as, significant information to future research in this area. / O objetivo principal do presente estudo é compreender a relação existente entre dimensões culturais e orientação de resultados. Para além disso, a pesquisa pretende explorar se algumas dimensões culturais propostas pelo GLOBE Study exercem influência na orientação de resultados, especificamente orientação por aprendizagem e performance. O método de pesquisa utilizado no estudo foi um método quantitativo na forma de um inquérito online previamente elaborado, para recolher as respostas dos participantes. As relações existentes entre cinco dimensões culturais e Orientação de Resultados por Aprendizagem e Performance foram testadas através de regressões lineares múltiplas com o objetivo de perceber se alguma delas era significativa e ao mesmo tempo testar se eram positivas ou negativas. Duas das cinco hipóteses foram suportadas pelos resultados apresentados. A Orientação por Performance tem uma relação positiva com a Orientação de Resultados por Aprendizagem, assim como o Coletivismo Institucional estabelece uma relação negativa com a Orientação de Resultados por Performance. Apesar de apresentar uma relação oposta àquela prevista na hipótese, a relação que existe entre altos níveis de Distância de Poder e Orientação de Resultados por Performance é significativa. As restantes relações que foram testadas não apresentaram qualquer relevância para o estudo. Finalmente, os resultados obtidos podem fornecer informações relevantes sobre comportamentos humanos importantes a adaptar para incorrer numa especifica orientação de resultados, assim como disponibilizar informação significante de base para futura pesquisa nesta área.

The feasibility of the statement of generally accepted accounting practice for small and medium enterprises / Daniël Petrus Schutte

Schutte, Daniël Petrus January 2011 (has links)
Governments are becoming increasingly aware of SMEs as economical role players. As a result many initiatives were introduced to address the unique challenges of the SME sector. One of these initiatives was the introduction of a global accounting framework for SMEs by the International Accounting Standards Board entitled the IFRS for SMEs. South Africa became the first country to formally adopt the contents thereof as the Statement of GAAP for SMEs. The adoption of a formal accounting framework by SMEs is however challenged by, amongst other factors, the informal nature of SMEs, limited global focus, the involvement of owner–managers and different classifications of SMEs worldwide. Owing to these unique attributes it is possible that SMEs have alternative informational needs and as a result the impact of environmental factors on the adoption of the Statement of GAAP for SMEs was considered. Culture is considered the most important environmental factor affecting the accounting environment. The Value Survey Model of Hofstede was utilised to determine cultural dimensions of accounting students (n = 301) in South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK). The cultural dimensions were extended to the accounting values of Gray after which a distinct set of accounting values was identified for i) the adoption of formal, global and prescriptive accounting standards, ii) based on principles iii) by an informal SME sector. The results also revealed distinct cultural differences within South Africa as well as between South Africa and the UK. Thereafter the contents of the Statement of GAAP for SMEs/IFRS for SMEs were evaluated against reporting practices of the SME sector in South Africa. Firstly, an assessment of the contents was conducted amongst SME accountants (n = 157) using a five–point Likert–type scale. Secondly, financial statements compiled by the SME sector in South Africa were analysed to determine the relevance of the contents of the illustrative financial statements contained in the Statement of GAAP for SMEs. The analysis entailed a consolidation of a sample of SME financial statements from South Africa (n = 100). The study revealed that the accounting environment of the SME sector is affected by a wide range of environmental and related factors. These factors were summarised and discussed and recommendations for future research were made. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Accounting))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Dienende Leiterschaft im interkultureller Spannung / Servant leadership in intercultural tension

Klassen, Eldon August 05 1900 (has links)
Text in German, summaries in German and English / In dieser Forschungsarbeit wird die dienende und interkulturelle Leiterschaft aus schriftlichen Quellen ausgearbeitet, um zu überprüfen, ob die dienende Leiterschaft in einem interkulturellen Kontext, in dem Leiterschaft stattfindet, anwendbar ist. Aus dieser erarbeiteten Lage und dem Versuch ihrer Implementierung wird dann auf mögliche Spannungen hingewiesen, die in der Anwendung der dienenden Leiterschaft im interkulturellen Kontext vorkommen können. In einer Fallstudie wird die Geschichte der MBG Volendam unter dem Aspekt „Leiterschaft und interkulturelle missionarische Arbeit“ dargestellt. In dieser Fallstudie wird weiter aufgezeigt, wie dienende Leiterschaft in der Gemeinde und ihrer missionarischen Tätigkeit implementiert wurde. Diese Umsetzung der dienenden Leiterschaft in Gemeinde- und interkulturellen Kontext wird dann anhand ausgewählter Interviews überprüft. Anhand dieser Darstellung aus Literatur und der Fallstudie und ihrer Auswertung werden umsetzbare Richtlinien für die Anwendung der dienenden Leiterschaft im interkulturellen Kontext aufgeführt. Diese Forschungsarbeit will einen Beitrag zur Einsetzung der dienenden Leiterschaft im interkulturellen Kontext leisten. Gleichzeitig zeigt sie auf, wie dieses im christlichen Gemeindekontext und in ihrer interkulturellen Mission funktioniert hat. / This research defines a servant and intercultural leadership.

Beslutsfattande och maktdistans i Nato / Decision-Making and Power Distance in NATO

Palme, Linnéa January 2024 (has links)
Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att undersöka hur anställda inom Nato upplever att maktdistans påverkar beslutsfattandet. För att svara på min frågeställning har jag använt mig av en kvalitativ metod med inkäter, där sex deltagare från fyra olika länder svarade. Resultatet analyserades med en tematisk analys där fem teman framträdde, beslutsfattande, hierarki, kultur, maktdistans och språk. Resultatet är att maktdistans i viss utsträckning påverkar beslutsfattande inom Nato beroende på vilket land som representanterna kommer ifrån. Länders indirekta makt varierar beroende på storlek, befolkningsmängd och hur länge de varit medlemmar av Nato. Studien visar på att maktdistans existerar och påverkar beslut i viss utsträckning men att frågan är komplex då de tillfrågade inte alltid vet vad begreppet maktdistans är även om svaren tyder på det. Sammanfattningsvis påverkas maktdistans av hur länge ett land varit medlemmar i alliansen, hur många personer med hög grad landet har i alliansen och hur bra dessa personer är på språk, att tolka orden i rum och tid och vikta orden rätt. Kunskap i engelska och förhandlingsvana har här betydelse. / This qualitative study aims to investigate how NATO employees experience the impact of power distance on decision-making. To answer that question, I have relied on a qualitative method consisting of a hybrid of questionnaires and interviews that were sent out. Six participants from four countries participated. When the results were examined through thematic analysis, five different themes emerged: decision-making, hierarchy, culture, power distance and language. The results indicate that power distance does affect decision-making within NATO to some extent; depending on which country the representatives come from. The indirect power wielded by the member states varies according to their respective geographical size, the size of their population and their annuity as a member of NATO. The study shows that power distance exists and to some extent affects decision-making within the organization. It also shows that the issue is complex, as not all participants are aware of the concept of power distance, although their responses indicate that they are aware of its existence within the organization. In conclusion, power distance is influenced by how long the nation has been a member of the Alliance, how many high-ranking people the nation has in the various offices of the Alliance, and how well these representatives are able to master language skills, to interpret what is said in a spatial and temporal context, and to weight words accurately; here English and negotiation skills are of great importance.
