Organizational behavior implications of the congruence between preferred polychronicity and experienced work-unit polychronicity

Article Abstract:

The congruence between preferred polychronicity and work-unit polychronicity with the elements of organizational commitment has been studied. Preferred polychronicity refers to the willingness of a worker to be involved in several tasks simultaneously. Work-unit polychronicity refers to the polychronic behavior of supervisors and co-workers. The components of organizational commitment are willingness to exert effort, desire to remain as a member of the organization and belief in organizational goals. Results show preferred polychronicity is significantly related with the components of organizational commitment.

Happiness and productivity revisited

Article Abstract:

T. Wright and B. Staw have offered new evidence disputing the long-established notion that worker happiness does not necessarily lead to greater productivity. This idea has been regarded as truth in textbooks used by a generation of MBAs and doctoral students. They claim that personal disposition toward happiness not changes in happiness is associated with higher employee performance. Their research is admirable in that their approach overcame previous shortcomings and took advantage of new observations.
