Abstract
Due to the change of the employment, emphasizing on employees¡¦ commitment to the organization is no more the critical determinant of whether the employees will devote themselves to the organization. From 1980s, there were scholars who started to argue that employees will form global beliefs concerning the extent to which the organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being, and called this concept perceived organizational support (POS). In contrast to organizational commitment, perceived organizational support emphasizes on employers¡¦ commitment to the employees and has been proved to have strong relations to many of employees¡¦ work attitudes and behaviors.
In this study, the writer uses two different kinds of scorings as the indicators to evaluate the extent of employees¡¦ POS. The findings are as followed:
1. POS is positively related to employees¡¦ affective commitment, continuance commitment, job satisfaction and performance, but negatively related to the intention to quit.
2. No matter using which kind of scorings, within all work attitudes and behaviors we are interested, POS is most related to affective commitment and then job satisfaction.
3. POS has the strongest influence on affective commitment and job satisfaction, and the weakest one on work performance.
4. Comparing to other POS factors, leadership and self-achievement have the most global influences on employees¡¦ work attitudes and behaviors.
5. In whole, employees¡¦ evaluations of organizational practices of which they really experience are more related to their work attitudes and behaviors than the discrepancy between what they expect and the actual situations.
6. When combining with individual¡¦s expectation, the influence of some POS factors will become salience, although it may not have such strong influence when concerning the evaluations of organizational practices along.
7. Different ways of discrepancy between individual¡¦s expectations and the actual situations will cause different influences on employees¡¦ work attitudes and behaviors indeed.
