Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction
Creating and sustaining organizational commitment in employees needs to get beyond the short-term strategies managers and leaders often rely on to temporarily increase job satisfaction. The core aspects of job satisfaction on the part of employees that lead to long-term organizational commitment are predicated on creating opportunities for growth, job enrichment, enlargement and potential for professional growth (Humborstad, Perry, 2011). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate how organizational commitment can strengthened over time by creating greater opportunity for personal and professional growth with employees, increasing their level and strength of organizational commitment in the process.

Job Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment

The consistency of job satisfaction strategies on the part of an organization and its managers have a direct effect on long-term organizational commitment of its employees (ubin, Brody, 2011). The greater the level of affective commitment, or the psychological attachment to an organization, and normative commitment,….

Since the increased presence of a part-time workforce and the emergence of contingent workers are two of the most common, nonstandard work statuses evidenced in recent U.S. history, their development is worthy of considerable attention" (emphasis added) (p. 16).
White-collar contingent workers, and the human resource departments responsible for their administration, though, are both confronted with some motivational factors that may not be shared by their traditional counterparts, particularly those working in fields where seasonal employment may be the rule rather than the exception. For example, Toutkoushian and Bellas (2003) report that while contingent workers in educational settings are frequently used in ways that are beneficial both to institutions and to the individual faculty member, the increased use of these white-collar contingent workers is a dramatic departure from prevoius conceptions of higher education and in the conditions of employment for faculty. According to these authors, "While part-time faculty are often….

It's important for organizations to promote both of these aspects because it's possible to stimulate one without the other. For instance, employees are likely to express exceptional engagement to a company that provides a strong performance rewards system with no retirement plan. However, these employees are likely to commit to another company that offers the strong rewards system and a good retirement plan.
Consequently, managers need to design the organization's compensation plans through the strategic and careful consideration of employee commitment and engagement. hile compensation contains financial and non-financial elements, the most suitable compensation plan supports the organization's strategic objectives. This component also enhances an organization's competitive advantage by helping it to attract suitable job candidates, encouraging them for maximum performance, and promoting long-term maintenance of workers.

One of the most effective and suitable compensation strategies is incentive pay that is also known as pay-for-performance. It increases employees' commitment by enabling….

Leadership Styles
As the behavior of the leader, so is the behavior of the follower." This colloquial proverb can be seen in families. Angry parents tend to raise angry children. Similarly patient, and understanding parents who also know how to set boundaries tend to raise balanced, patient children. This observation can also be applied to the business environment. This study is concerned with behavior of workers within an organization, or company, and the study includes comparative evaluations of leadership styles and corresponding commitment of the workers within the organization. Many academicians and practitioners view leadership as the most important topic within the realm of organizational behavior (Rahim, 1981. The success of an organization is more heavily dependent on the quality of its leaders than on any other single factor. These leaders play a major role in making decisions that determine organizational goals and how these goals can be accomplished and how….

In light of the tug-of-war observed by riston, evidence is strong today that the administrative or organizational side is encroaching further and further upon the faculty battleground. An article by Benjamin (2010) details a critical element of the battle today, contextualized especially by the ever-shrinking size of the full professoriate. Benjamin reports that while it had always been common for administrations and universities to undermine tenure by creating non-tenure-track positions, the distribution of power has shifted in recent decades. Benjamin notes, referring to an article from 1940, that where it had once been appropriate to refer to this as a two-track system, a far more hierarchical reality has since emerged. According to Benjamin, "the two-track system developed on the basis of the emerging distinction between tenured and non? tenured appointments. From the beginning, the former were often more qualified and generally more privileged. The two-track system has become a two-tier….

Work-Related Attitudes: Prejudice, Job Satisfaction, And Organizational Commitment
Area of the Study:

A worker's attitude heavily impacts his behavior and his performance in any organization. A positive attitude results in an increase in overall productivity for him and the organization because of the feeling of optimism, pride and job satisfaction. A negative attitude will result in negative behaviors which will then lead to job switching or lack of productivity. There are many places where attitude can influence work behavior which the research will illustrate on the importance of attitude in the performance of an individual.

" (Simon, 188) the fundamental perspective here is that leadership and the ability to apply actions based on culturally driven decisions are central to helping members of the organization learn in a concrete manner how best to accord with the reigning culture.
In order for this to occur though, there must be a certain initial scrutiny and selectiveness where leadership and personnel are concerned, endorsing an organization-wide emphasis on the quality of personnel. This implicitly brings us to consideration of the application phase in terms of learning organizational culture, which is inevitably associated to all actionable aspects of an organization's structure and operations. The correlation between recruitment, personnel makeup and leadership personalities is perhaps threaded by the common string of day-to-day responsibility within an organizational culture. And quite certainly, we see the stamp of organizational culture on so many of the most important applicable indicators. Schein, to this end, points out….

Organizational Personality
Citizen's Hospital is an organization where employees and the organization share common goals. The organization has a personality of confusion. The culture of the organization focused on patient satisfaction where the climate was democratic with an emphasis on interpersonal skills, democratic values and human motivation (Francis, 2012). The structure was hierarchal and operated by departments.

Shared common goals included enabling patients to gain adequate recovery in the fastest, most effective way with safe measures to prevent infection and other illness. The psychological part of the company displayed friendliness with the interview processes that included a peer interview with the department's employees to determine capability. Upon hiring, all new hires were required to go through a socialization process of employee orientation and mentor training. Once the new hired is trained, confusion sets in with unsafe practices.

The organization developed large amounts of back injuries from role stress and a lack of harmony.….

Organizational Behavior
An employee's behavior significantly impacts an organization's out put. It is therefore imperative that organizations deeply understand what productive and unproductive behaviors are. With this they can easily evaluate the relationship that exists between job behaviors and performance (Sacket, 2002).

Productive behaviors enhance productivity. Employee's who exhibit productive behavior boost an organization's productivity as they contribute positively to an organization's goals and objectives. Such behaviors include punctuality; handling an organization's customers professionally; ensuring that confidentiality is maintained by ensuring that no crucial information about an organization never leaks out; owning up when mistakes have been made; complying with health and safety standards; using an organizations' resources for the intended purposes and not for personal gains; productive employees would never sabotage an organization's merchandise or even misuse the expenses account. They will at all times ensure that qualities of their products are high. Such behaviors enhance productivity (Sacket, 2002).

Counterproductive behaviors to….

Therefore, there is a room for future research (Swaminathan & Jawahar, 2013). The results of this study indicated a possibility of other factors that influence job satisfaction. From this fact, it is important to recommend further research for the purpose of revealing the factors and improving job performance through the use of the results (Mohamed & Anisa, 2012). esearchers should perform the investigation by using many and few participants and compare the results in order to devise the best samples. This is because this research relied on a sample of 65 participants. if, a bigger number than the one stated on this research is used, there is a possibility of a considerable difference being evident (Mohamed & Anisa, 2012).

Organization Culture: An Analysis of Two Articles
Organizational Culture: An Analysis of Two articles

A collective organization approach is one that seeks to empower individual capacity to handle organizational issues at an individual level. In this case, the spirit of independence is vital since it responds to organizational challenges, and thus, maintaining spillovers cooperatively. Based on this approach, it is appropriate to assess the scholarly approach designated to empower organizational culture. Scholarly, such a culture ideally seeks to minimize derivative concerns that are resulted by an improperly dispensed leadership ideology. This analysis will seek to examine the validity of two articles and their interrelationship in terms of concepts. The analysis will prove that an appropriate organization culture is one that fosters a spirit of collectivism.

The non-threatening approach of the study needs to be expanded upon with top-management visibility and support added to give it even more credibility and credence in the eyes of the workers being effected by the manufacturing operation closure. The support of top management in any change management initiative, including the closure of the plant and the urgent need to get an OD strategic plan created and implemented, is crucial (Hoff, 2008). The study being completed by Dr. Akin from the University of Virginia is just the start and while it shows excellent support for appreciate inquiry, it does not integrate OD and sense-making as well. While sense-making is done well on its own it needs to be part of the broader OD strategy. To accomplish this, I would bring together DuPont senior management for the plant and work to create a strategic plan that ties together all three concepts….

ver the past decade, 'culture' has become a common term used when thinking about and describing an organization's internal world, a way of differentiating one organization's personality from another. In fact, many researchers contend that an organization's culture socializes people (Stein, 1985) and that leadership styles are an integral part of the culture of an organization. A culture-specific perspective reflects the view that the occurrence and the effectiveness of certain leadership behaviors (as well as constructs) is likely to be unique to a given culture.

In contrast, leaders in the culture-universal position contend that certain leadership constructs are comparable across cultures and that many universal leadership behaviors do exist. nly recently, based on the review by Bass (House, 1998), has the leadership research community begun to realize that universal and culture-specific leadership behaviors and constructs are not mutually exclusive categories, but can rather coexist in a single culture at the same….

Organizational Innovation
ole Of Leadership And Employees In Organizational Innovation

Organizational success in the current global environment characterized with significant challenges is highly dependent on innovation and creativity. Innovation and creativity contribute to the success of organizational interventions, thereby, contributing to its competitiveness. The current global environment is characterized by rapid adoption of new technologies, reduction in the life cycle of products, and globalization. As such, it implies the need for the organizations to become creative and innovative to compete, survive, lead, and grow in the wake of these challenges. Similarly, significant evidence shows that leadership and the employees play an important role in driving innovation and creativity within the organization. For instance, studies have shown that leadership styles such as transformational and transactional leadership styles, influences innovation, and creativity within the organization positively. However, limited knowledge on the contextual factors under which the effect occurs exists.

Similarly, empirical evidence has that organizational….
