Table of Content Introduction 3 Training and development 4 Teamwork 5 Employee/Organizational Communication 6 Emphasis on Reward 7 Corporate culture and organizational commitment 8 References 9 Introduction The employee attitude on organizational commitment has changed nowadays; they would no longer want to stay with a particular company for their whole working life. In the past, employees might be happy to remain in the organization where it could provide good job security. However, the competitive pressure from their competitors has made many organizations reluctant to focus on downsizing, restructuring therefore created less job security provided to employees. Many employees considered that their organization has broken the secure organizational bond and unhappiness might bring employees to tend to begin their new job search. With the idea of finding a new job, employees therefore might demotivate with their current job and underperform in the organization. It will become a huge issue for the organization to achieve their objectives as no organizations in fact, can survive in today’s competitive world unless their employees work effectively and are committed to the organization’s goals. Hence, organizations have no choice but have to consider maintaining their employees, especially...

...Satisfaction in Organizational Psychology Job satisfaction can be known to some people as an important element in their lives. If an individual is unhappy with their occupation it may affect other parts of their life. Job satisfaction can be seen in what one wants in a job as to what one has in their current job. Definition of Job Satisfaction Job satisfaction can be defined as an attitude or feeling one can have toward ones job. Job satisfaction is "the extent to which people like (satisfaction) or dislike (dissatisfaction) in their jobs. (Spector 1997) One of the biggest studies in job satisfaction was the Hawthorne studies which were credited to Elton Mayo in the year's nineteen twenty-four to nineteen fifty-three. Elton Mayo was from Harvard Business School who sought to find the effects of various conditions focusing on workers' productivity. His study showed that changes in work conditions temporarily increased productivity which is also known as the Hawthorne Effect. Some individuals may form an attitude towards their jobs by taking into account their feelings, beliefs and behavior. All these different factors can affect ones job satisfaction Example of Organizational Socialization and Job Satisfaction A great example of how organizational socialization goes a long way in ensuring job satisfaction is in the United States military. When a person decides to join any branch of the military there is a process in becoming a soldier. The organizational socialization...

...researches and studies claim that leadership is the key factor for an organisation or business to survive, operate and perform in today’s competitive market (Ximane,2015);(Bass,1990);( Jung, 2002). Furthermore proper leadership is the strategic element in increasing and achieving organisational goals (Bass &Avolio, 1995) ;( Yousef, 1998). On the other hand, some researches and studies contend that organisational leadership is an embellished concept in that it is not necessary in attaining organisational performance since there are other internal and external factors that come into play ( Ismail et al,1998; (Bass& Avolio,2002;(Munjis,2011). A number of researches and studies have been carried out to demonstrate that leadership and organisational performance, commitment and innovation go hand in hand (Judge, Bono, Ilies and Gerhardt, 2002; Judge and Piccolo, 2004; Keller, 2006; McGrath and MacMillan, 2000; Meyer and Hepard, 2000; Purcell, Kinnie, Hutchinson and Dickson, 2004; Yukl, 2002). Conversely, some studies for instance, House and Aditya (1997) suggest that is not a key factor in achieving organisational performance, commitment and innovation. Due to the conflicting findings concerning the role of leadership and organisational performance, commitment and innovation, point out there is a need to study the role of leadership comprehensively. House and Aditya (1997), suggests studying the importance of leadership on organisational performance, commitment and innovation...

The basic reason for this renewed interest is the perception that broad even global, shifts in the internal structures and employment practices are inducing changes in the ties that bind employees to their job. While the concern for employee satisfaction in Malaysia is high, empirical research on its correlates is insignificant. Most knowledge comes from journalistic accounts, individual experiences, opinions of scholars and corridor conversation. These are essentially descriptive pieces without much empirical base and with limited utility for the theory of knowledge...

...Swinburne University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Rosen College of Hospitality Management, University of Central Florida, Florida, FL, USA SHTM, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, Hong Kong a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Burnout Occupational commitment Emotional intelligence Emotional labour Organizational citizenship behaviour Task performance Moderation a b s t r a c t This study examines how emotional intelligence and occupational commitment have a moderating effect on the relationship between emotional labour and its potential outcomes. Two acting strategies reflect emotional labour, namely surface and deep acting, with burnout and performance as the prospective outcomes. Burnout is operationalized into emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and diminished personal achievement; whereas performance is operationalized into task performance and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB). The study investigates employee responses from several tourism and hospitality organizations in Florida, USA. The results show that emotional labour relates most positively to task performance and to burnout in the case of surface acting. Tests of moderation show that occupational commitment enhances performance outcomes by facilitating emotional labour strategies, and the prevalence of higher emotional intelligence amongst employees reduces burnout. These findings contribute to the literature on emotional labour by...
