Self-leadership: The act of leadership or the self?

Chung, An-yi 17 February 2011 (has links)
Drawn on a self-concept theory, this study hypothesized that self-leadership partly mediated between charismatic leadership and organizational commitment and self-leadership fully mediated between private self-consciousness and organizational commitment. The results indicated that charismatic leadership and private self-consciousness were positively related to self-leadership. The predictive validity of private self-consciousness for self-leadership was greater than the one of charismatic leadership. Moreover, the influence of charismatic leadership on identification or internalization was partly mediated by self-leadership. The influence of private self-consciousness on identification was fully mediated by self-leadership. However, the effect of private self-consciousness on internalization was not transmitted by self-leadership. The surprising result was explained and interpreted as evidence for the distinction between internalization and identification. Finally, further research was encouraged to identify and assess alternative subordinate processes in relation to the activation of individual and collective identity by charismatic leaders.

A Study on the Relationships between training, organizational commitment, professional commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior¡ÐThe Moderating Effect of attitude for the supervisor

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. And supervisor¡¦s attitudes di have adjust effect in organizational commitment to work, professional commitment, and the organizational citizenship behaviors of employee.

The Influence of Dispatched Workers¡¦ Working Conditions on Organizational Commitments

Luo, Yeong-Shin 20 August 2011 (has links)
Dispatched employment has become one of the most popular ways of employment under globalization. The corporate can freely choose the most favorable business environment whereby they can by-pass collective bargaining with trade unions and legal restrictions. Dispatched workers and regularly employed workers in the same client company may experience different working conditions (including wages, working hours, overtime and vacation, etc.). Workers of the same dispatching agency who are dispatched to client companies may also experience different working conditions. Often, working conditions of dispatched workers are relatively poor. This study mainly explores dispatched workers¡¦ working conditions in different companies and how these conditions would affect their organizational commitment to client companies. Four hundred and twenty copies of a questionnaire were distributed to workers who are dispatched to companies located in Kaohsiung, Tainan and Pingtung. Out of these 134 copies were returned and counted as valid response. The findings revealed that (1) working conditions varied across gender and age; (2) dispatched workers tended to accept working conditions below the legal standards; (3) organizational commitment varied across education, job duties and depended on how workers felt about the conditions; (4) working conditions and organizational commitment were significantly related. This study therefore recommends that: Dispatching companies should 1.Employ dispatched workers as full-time workers, rather than merely-registered workers; 2.Provide more training opportunities to dispatched workers; 3.Fulfill their legal obligations to the workers. Client companies should 1.Create a gender-equal working environment; 2.Create sanitary and safe working conditions; 3.Take the responsibility of a joint employer. Authorities of labor affairs should 1.Inspect labor conditions more frequently and closely; 2.Establish a formal legal system to regulate dispatched employment; 3.Specify dispatching agencies and client companies as joint employers in relevant laws and regulations.

Additionally, this study sought to identify those factors that most influence the recruitment and retention of speech pathologists. A random sample of 500 speech pathologists was identified for participation in this study. Responses were elicited via Questionnaires, and consisted of eight sections: (a) demographic information and (b) seven previously validated and reliable instruments related to the variables identified in this study. All instruments were deemed appropriate for use in this study and were set to a six-point Likert scale.

Relationship study among Recognition of Organizational Reform, Job Stress and Organizational Commitment-for Administrative Staffs in Reformed Private Colleges

Hung, Li-Mei 22 August 2005 (has links)
This study involved 596 administrative staff members in nine private colleges that had been reorganized into universities of technology in Taiwan by February, 2004. In the study, we looked into the staff members¡¦ perceptions of organizational change, job stress and organizational commitment, as well as the interrelationship among them. The findings indicate that those administrative staff members have mid-to-high-level recognition of the inevitability of the organizational change and its resulting benefits. They have medium-level awareness of their voices being ignored by the school and a lack of communication. Nevertheless, maladaptive problems in jobs and positions were seldom mentioned. The major job stress is from contingency arrangements, urgent issues or unscheduled assignments. The staff hold a conservative attitude toward organizational commitment, without showing stable or strong identification with the school. Factor analysis, ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical multiple regression were used to examine the significant differences among variables. Major findings through further correlation analysis include: (1) organizational commitment has a positive correlation with the staff¡¦s perceptions of organizational change, and a negative correlation with their recognition of the necessary sacrifice of the interests resulting from the reorganization, (2) the higher level the recognition of organizational reform, the more job stress; and this job stress has significantly high negative correlation with organizational commitment, and (3) those administrative staff who are relatively young, unmarried, less experienced in working, and received fewer years of education tend to be better in recognizing organizational reform and job stress, but worse in organizational commitment. This finding shows that the recognition of organizational reform tends to negatively influence organizational commitment through job stress.
