Multiple commitments at work and extrarole behavior during three stages of organizational tenure

Article Abstract:

The relationships among multiple commitments at work and discretionary employee behaviors, or extrarole behavior, are examined during three stages of organizational tenure. Extrarole behaviors are employee actions that are not requirements of the job, but which benefit the organization such as working overtime without pay to meet a production deadline. Four facets of commitment are identified through factor analysis. These are top management, supervisors, co-workers and customers. The results of the study and their implications are discussed.

Managing an entrepreneurial organizational environment: a discriminant analysis of organizational and individual differences between autonomous unit managers and department managers

Article Abstract:

Autonomous unit managers (AUMs) and department managers (DMs) were classified based on organizational and individual variables. Results show that AUMs can be motivated to achieve high performance by providing them opportunities for innovative activities and financial rewards. DMs, on the other hand, are concerned with recognition for the activities they perform. While AUMs are achievement- and behaviorally-oriented, DMs consider environmental constraints as opportunities for creative solutions.

Reactions to work assignment as predictors of organizational commitment: the moderating effect of occupational identification

Article Abstract:

The moderating effect of occupational identification on the relationship between reactions to work assignments and organizational commitment is investigated among workers in two military staff organizations. Workers with high occupational identification are found to be more committed to the organization, even if they have lower levels of satisfaction with work assignments, than those ranking their occupational identification at moderate or low levels.
