Chung, Wu-chung 15 August 2011 (has links)
Besides offering good salary, companies in China start to enhance the job satisfaction of employee to retain employees. The demission rate Uni-President Group has always been lower than others in the same industry; even lower than the overall demission rate of many China enterprises. Among various reasons to affect the demission rate, Uni-President Group in China has a complete and systematic education and training system. Therefore, we set the training as an independent variable, and the three dimensions of organizational commitment to work, professional commitment, and the organizational citizenship behaviors as dependent variables, to discover the effect of independent variable to dependent variables. We set the supervisor¡¦s attitudes toward employees in the process of training as adjustment variable. Our hypothesis is that the supervisor¡¦s attitude will have effect in organizational commitment to work, professional commitment, and the organizational citizenship behaviors of employee. In the sample of 302 full-time employees of Uni-President Group in China, the amount of different training courses accepted by employee will have effect on the three dimensions, organizational commitment, professional commitment, and organizational citizenship behaviors of work.

The downside emotion even caused escape and mass resignations in hospitals. SARS tested how good every individual and the leadership of every hospital, area, and nation can handle crisis. Can hospitals offer enough support and a safe working environment to their health-care workers? Does the working attitude and willing of the health-care workers relate to how much awareness of the support from the hospitals? The purpose of the research is to find out during SARS, the working stress for anesthetists, the relation of support from the hospitals and the working attitude and willing to take care of patients from the anesthetists. Hope this can be a reference to management level in medical care organization The conclusion of this research: 1.The management level in hospitals should apply different HR strategies to different health-care workers as every health-care worker has different personality. The difference makes his commitment to organization, profession and willing to take care of patients different. 2.During SARS, the awareness from anesthetists to organization support includes four sides. They are safe support, emotional support, fair support and respect support. The four sides have different affects on anesthetists¡¦ working attitude. To organization commitment, the most important is safe support and then ¡K. Support, fair support and respect support. 3. If health-care workers can feel enough support from the organization, they will feedback their commitment to the organization and profession. Therefore, except giving the assistance to reduce working stress, the management level should provide enough safe support, emotional support, fair support and respect support. 4. Working stress affects health-care workers¡¦ willing to stay on duty and take care of SARS patients. Therefore, to assist health-care workers in reducing fear and uncertainty of SARS, increasing the ability to adjust stress by training of SARS can reduce the intention of quit and job changing.

It is a common phenomenon that experiences and educational background will take into account first. When high technology industrial corporations select engineers, they apply mental test or interview them in order to realize their personal characters which make clear and bright whether personal characters would collocate to work or not. In all, they want to make sure to choose the appropriate engineers. The paper attempts to study through different points of view to analyze the working attitudes and manners of engineers. In order to discover some useful messages and to help high technology industry, the study plans recruits and retaining strategy which can consolidate the manpower and core essence of this field. In this study, there are 323 engineers selected from 17 high technology corporations ( 11 of them are integrated circuit industry, 2 of them are electro- optical industry, 3 of them are computer and peripherals industry, 1 of them is communication industry ) for an empirical study. Their background information were collected to explore how the 4 variables (money ethic¡Bwork preference¡Bworkaholism and perfectionism) effect professional commitment . Thus, we hope the study can allow us to get the better knowledge of professional commitment of engineers. The following 4 main points were found in this study ¡G 1. Money ethic would influence on some professional commitment of engineers. While work preference¡Bworkaholism and perfectionism are considerable, the influence of money ethic would decrease. 2.The different motive levels in cognition and attitude would influence on achievements and learning manners of engineers. Thus, the diverse demand to intrinsic-extrinsic motive would effect the professional commitment of engineers. So if the engineers ask for higher demand of intrinsic than of extrinsic, they would have higher professional commitment. 3.The variable of workaholism dose not effect professional commitment obviously. The result could make engineers who are compelled to obey the norms from organization or team under an involuntary deed. 4.The perfectionism is the most explanatory to the professional commitment of engineers . So the Perfectionism¡¦s characters are more obvious and the working attitudes of engineers would be higher professional commitment. At last, this study would focus on the limitation of this study, the future study, and management meanings to present brief explanation.

The end of launching Financial Holding Company, FHC is to maximize the synergy of versatile financial services like banking, insurance, securities, and the like by means of cross selling internally to expand product line as well as offering integrated financial services to consumers externally to satisfy their one-stop shopping demands. One of the characteristics in the property is highly counting on people to deliver service, and agents play significant roles during service delivery. Therefore, it merits a better attention to probe into the relationships between the organizational commitment, the professional commitment, the organizational citizenship behavior, and the job involvement in cross selling of agents¡¦. The study is conducted by the questionnaire survey on three FHCs in which insurance business is inner circle in Taiwan. Throughout interviewing the staffs of the three by 500 questionnaires offered and 351 valid ones collected, the datum of the research is made by reliability analysis, descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, independent sample t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis to verify the identity degrees of the interviewees on the organizational commitment, the professional commitment, the organizational citizenship behavior, and the job involvement in cross selling. Following are the major findings: 1.Each one of the organizational commitment, the professional commitment, and the organizational citizenship behavior are statistically significant and positive correlated to the job involvement in cross selling. Among them, the organizational citizenship behavior is with the strongest influence on the job involvement in cross selling, then the organizational commitment second, and the professional commitment last. 2.Among the sub-dimensions, the organizational identity in the organizational commitment explains most the variations of the job involvement in cross selling and then the retention on the job. Also, the professional identity in the professional commitment explains most the one and then the retention on the occupation. And, the involvement in the organizational citizenship behavior explains the most the one and then the loyalty. It means that the organizational identity, the professional identity, the involvement and the loyalty of the agents are with significant effects on their involvement in cross selling. 3.The variations in the identity degrees of the organizational commitment and the professional commitment of the agents in the three FHCs are significantly different, however, the ones of the organizational citizenship behavior and the involvement in cross selling are no significant. From the findings of the research, the organizational commitment and the organizational citizenship behavior are proven the most impacts on the involvement in cross selling. Consequently, FHCs should pay more attentions especially to enhance the organizational identity of agents all the time except for advancing their knowledge and ability in cross selling when they want to raise the wills of agents on the job involvement in cross selling. For example, they can disclose the expectation and the requirement of the organization to agents to make them fully understand, follow, and moreover increase their confidence. Besides, building incentive performance assessment and rewarding system is more important than else in stimulating agents to have strong involvement in cross selling.

A Study of Moderating Effects of Pay Satisfaction on Organizational and Professional Commitment

Kuo, Shu-fang 27 January 2005 (has links)
The purpose of the present study was to integrate findings from commitment (organizational and professional commitment), its antecedents (especially in terms of personal characteristics), and pay satisfaction literature into a more comprehensive model that would further enhance the understanding of the full concept of commitment, which has been regarded as an important variable in appreciating the work behaviour of employees in organizations. The present study contributed to the literature on commitment in five important ways: (1) Consideration of multiple commitments was included in this study; organizational and professional commitment were examined in a multidimensional way; (2) Since different organizational and professional commitment varied across occupations (Wallace, 1993), it was worthwhile to explore the commitment orientation of R&D engineers in the electronics industry of Taiwan; (3) Direct effects of personal characteristics on two forms of commitment were measured; (4) Moderating effects of pay satisfaction on the relationship between personal characteristics and commitment were observed; (5) Whether there was a complementary or incompatible association between organizational commitment and professional commitment was examined. Several significant and interesting findings of this study are presented as follows. (1)Given that a higher education level has been considered to predispose individuals to lower organizational commitment, but stronger professional commitment, this idea was tested, and as hypothesized, R&D engineers with higher levels of education did report lower commitment to stay in the same organization but stronger value commitment to their profession, as well as stronger commitment to stay in the same profession. However, higher education levels did not cause lower value commitment to the organization. Indeed, it was found in this study that pay satisfaction moderated respectively, the relationship among different education levels, the commitment to stay in the same organization, the value commitment to the profession, and the commitment to stay in the same profession. (2)It was supported that a higher position demonstrated stronger commitment to stay in the same organization. Pay satisfaction moderated the relationship between different position level and commitment to stay in the same organization, as well as commitment to stay in the same profession. (3)As hypothesized, increased age correlated with stronger organizational commitment. It was also confirmed that pay satisfaction moderated the relationship between age and organization commitment. However, there was no significant relationship between increased age and professional commitment. Nor did pay satisfaction influence the relationship between age and professional commitment. (4)The hypothesis that increased organization tenure led to increased organizational commitment but decreased professional commitment was rejected. However, the hypothesis that pay satisfaction moderated the relationship between organizational tenure and organizational commitment was supported. (5)The hypothesis that women tended to demonstrate lower organizational and professional commitment was partially supported. Women reported lower value commitment to the organization, lower value commitment to the profession and lower commitment stay in the same profession, than their male counterparts. However, the relationship between gender and commitment to stay in the same organization was not supported, but pay satisfaction was found to moderate the relationship between gender and commitment to stay in the same organization. (6)This study confirmed that married engineers had stronger commitment to stay in the same organization and that pay satisfaction moderated the relationship between marital status and organizational and professional commitment, except for the value commitment to the profession. (7)In spite of the value commitment to the organization, however, it was found that the more dependents, the higher organizational commitment and the less professional commitment was demonstrated. That pay satisfaction moderated the relationship between number of dependents and organizational commitment was approved in this study. (8)The hypothesis that the more income an individual received, the higher organizational and professional commitment s/he demonstrated, was supported. However, a negative relationship was found between income and commitment to stay in the same organization. As anticipated, pay satisfaction moderated the relationship between salary level and organizational commitment. (9)A positive relationship between organizational and professional commitment was found in this study.
