Proactive personality and work performance in China: The moderating effects of emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate

Grounded in the interactionist paradigm, this study shows that emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate constitute important moderators of the relationship between proactive personality and work performance. More specifically, the study analyzes the relationship between proactive personality and its behavioural outcomes—organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) and job performance—and investigates the interactive effects of emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate. The study involves 485 Chinese airline employees including pilots, flight attendants, engineers, and service employees. Proactive personality positively predicted OCB and individual performance. Emotional exhaustion and perceived safety climate moderated the relationship between proactive personality and individual performance both independently and jointly. Implications of the findings for future research are discussed. Copyright © 2009 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

企业审美化研究文献综述

企业审美化研究命题在西方组织管理学界研究发展始于20世纪80年代后期,自90年代以来趋于完善,研究的内容相当广泛,深入到企业组织运作的各个方面。在西方学术界已经出现了不少理论成果,为企业实际管理运营提供了很有价值的理论参考。相比之下,我国在这一领域的研究还远未成熟,研究状态比较混沌,优秀的研究成果也比较少。     

依托农业合作组织完善农产品经纪人队伍

目前,我国农产品经纪人队伍存在经纪行为不成熟、职业行为不规范、综合素质低、活动资金匮乏等不足,根本原因在于我国农产品经纪人的分散性。农业合作组织是推进农业和农村市场发展的中坚力量之一。依托农业合作组织,有了组织保障,农产品经纪人可以获得开展经济活动的资金;方便从外部和内部进行监督以使经纪活动规范化操作;通过合理的内部利益分配机制,可以促使经纪行为走向成熟;利用合作组织的信息资源,有利于提高经纪人的专业能力和综合素质。

A structured approach to conflict prediction in information systems strategy implementation

Organizational power and politics are the central issues of this paper. By developing a model of organizational power it is possible to determine whether an organizational change initiative is likely to be politically feasible. The formal model described has been derived largely from research reported in the social sciences. The modelling process involved using formal methods, in logic and entity relationship analysis, to discover an effective and consistent means of representing key organizational power concepts. The result is an advisory expert system called MP/L1 that can be employed by change agents to predict likely sources of potential resistance to major change initiatives and to suggest tactics that might be effective in combating anticipated resistance. Industrial experience with MP/L1 to date indicates that it has significant potential as a change management tool within the IS strategy-implementation domain. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

工作场所越轨行为的形态、员工反应与组织对策

工作场所越轨行为是指组织成员有意采取的针对其他组织成员或组织财物的违反组织重要主流规范的行为。本文旨在探讨当前工作场所越轨行为的形态特征、员工的反应以及工作场所越轨行为与组织对策间的关系。通过对580名员工的问卷调查,研究发现:(1)生产型过失、损公肥私与合作破坏行为是最常见的工作场所越轨行为类型;(2)员工最不能容忍的是违法行为与合作破坏行为;(3)视情形而定与沉默是员工较可能采取的对工作场所越轨行为的反应方式;(4)曝光与存档有利于防控生产型过失、损公肥私与合作破坏行为,定向引导有助于防控违法行为。     

The role of assessment centers in job satisfaction and organizational commitment: a case of the Korean government

While many studies have shown how assessment centers affect employees’ career success or job performance, these studies do not demonstrate how employees’ attitudes are affected by their perception of assessment centers. This study aims to investigate the influence of employees’ perception of assessment centers on their job satisfaction and organizational commitment, which are the key elements in predicting working behaviors, such as job performance, job involvement, and turnover intentions. To analyze the nature of the influence, 306 employees who had been evaluated by an assessment center in the Korean Rural Development Administration (KRDA) were surveyed. Regression analysis revealed that although there is no influence on their organizational commitment, employees with a positive perception of assessment centers experience higher levels of job satisfaction (p < .01). These results suggest that the positive perception of assessment centers affects the general feeling of organizational members about their work even though it does not affect their emotional attachment to the organization or dedication to organizational values. Thus, assessment centers can be used as a tool not only to select capable candidates but also to yield positive effects on organizational members’ job attitudes.     

情绪智力对员工创新行为的影响——以组织创新氛围为中介

利用调研数据,研究了情绪智力在组织创新氛围的中介作用下对员工创新行为的影响机制。研究结果表明:情绪智力中的情绪控制和情绪利用对员工创新行为有显著的正向预测作用;组织创新氛围在情绪控制和情绪利用对员工创新行为的影响中起部分中介作用;工龄与员工创新行为显著相关,工龄为4～7年的员工的创新性明显高于工龄为1～3年的员工。     

企业CEO继任的经验研究与展望

CEO继任是企业的重要战略决策之一.国外研究结果显示,CEO继任的发生机制主要存在辞职、解聘和其他突发情况;而继任绩效效果的研究结果却大相径庭,继任后的企业绩效形成机制多与继任者的行动、能力和社会力量相关;新任CEO继任后的过渡管理也具有一些很重要的技巧.当前,中国很多大型企业面临高层管理人员计划性或非计划性更新,借鉴和把握西方国家CEO继任的经验和趋势.可以提高我国CEO继任的成功率和有效性.     

When the going gets tough: the influence of expatriate resilience and perceived organizational inclusion climate on work adjustment and turnover intentions

Abstract

Despite the strong evidence for the beneficial influence of resilience for employee stress resistance in domestic settings, the construct has not received much attention in the expatriation literature, where stress is considered a major factor for expatriates’ poor cross-cultural adjustment and turnover. Drawing upon conservation of resources theory, the present study examines resilience as an antecedent of expatriate work adjustment and turnover intentions. Furthermore, this study investigates the moderating role of perceived organizational inclusion climate as a resource-protecting organizational factor. Results from a survey of 175 expatriates in South Korea indicate that resilience is positively related to expatriate work adjustment and that these positive effects are more pronounced when expatriates perceive their organizational climate to be highly inclusive. Furthermore, findings suggest that work adjustment mediates the effects of resilience on turnover intentions and that this mediation is moderated by a perceived organizational inclusion climate. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
