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.
