What is organisation:
An organization is a structured social system consisting of groups and individuals working
together to meet some agree upon objectives. In other words, organizations consist of people,
who alone and together in work groups strive to attain common goals.
OB
OB is the study of what people do in an organization and how their behaviour affects the
organization’s performance.
Attitudes and Individual attitudes:
In organizational settings, individual attitudes profoundly impact behaviours, interactions, and
overall performance. Attitudes, defined as relatively stable clusters of feelings, beliefs, and
behavioural predispositions towards specific entities
The Components of Attitudes
Attitudes consist of three essential components: the evaluative cognitive and behavioural
components.
Evaluative Component: reflects how a person feels about an attitude object. For instance, if an
employee feels positively towards their company, this reflects favourable job satisfaction.
Cognitive Component: This includes beliefs and thoughts about the work environment, such
as perceptions of management practices or job security.
Behavioural Component: This represents the predisposition to act in a certain way based on
attitudes. For example, a dissatisfied employee may express their feelings by reducing their
effort or seeking employment elsewhere
Job Satisfaction
When people speak of employee attitudes, they usually mean job satisfaction, a positive feeling
about a job resulting from an evaluation of its characteristics. A person with high job
satisfaction holds positive feelings about the work. In contrast, a person with low satisfaction
holds negative feelings. According to Edwin A. Locke (1976), "a pleasurable or positive
emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experiences" Schultz (1982) job
satisfaction refers to “mental outlook of individuals in regard to their work” Hoppack (1935)
highlighted the term job satisfaction when he worked on checking 32 research papers and found
it to be a mix of physiological, environmental and mental conditions and the factors impacting
the degree of satisfaction of a person.
Dimensions: job satisfaction is an emotional response to a job situation; job satisfaction is
often determined by how well outcomes meet or exceed expectations; job satisfaction
represents several related attitudes.
Characteristics: work itself, pay, promotion opportunities, supervision, coworker
Theories:
MASLOW- Maslow hypothesized that within every human being, there exists a hierarchy of five
needs- Physiological, which includes hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and other bodily needs.
Secondly, safety needs include security and protection from physical and emotional harm.
Thirdly, social needs include affection, belongingness, acceptance, and friendship. Fourthly,
Esteem level represents the higher needs of humans. The needs for power, achievement, and
status can be considered part of this level. And lastly, self-actualization, which is the drive to
become what we are capable of becoming includes growth, achieving our potential, and self-
fulfillment.
Herzberg’ two factor theory: Also known as motivation hygiene theory, has 2 types of factors
hygiene and motivators
Motivators lead to job satisfaction and motivation like work recognition, opportunity for growth.
While hygiene factors include interpersonal relations, salary, work conditions, and job security.
Dispositional model of job satisfaction: Personality ke basis pe hota h. the one who remains
positive are satisfied with theor job while jo bnda hr cheez ko negative dekhta h will not be
satisfied at all.
The value theory of JS: people feel satisfied with their jobs when they get what they value or
need from the job.
Isme hum apni job se expectation rkhte h and if that need Is fulfilled the person is satisfied
Social information processing model: In this we expect from the people around us-coworkers,
supervisors. Agar a person is getting support and guidance to he will be fully satisfied.
OC
most definitions refer to organizational commitment in terms of a tie that binds employees to
their organization (Allen, 2016) The three-factor model breaks down organizational commitment
into three commitment factors based on one’s rationale for staying at the organization,
including affective, normative, and continuance commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1991)
Guidelines:
• Clarify and communicate your mission.
• Support employee development.
• Create a sense of community
Cross sectional: where data is collected at a single point in time from a group of people.
Reliability: the consistency of the result (aaj test kia toh ek result aya, 10 din baad kia toh bhi
result same aya- means the test is reliable)
Types: test-retest, coefficient alpha/internal consistency (which shows how closely related a
set of items are in a scale or test. In simple terms, it tells you whether the items on a survey or
questionnaire are consistently measuring the same thing.)
In the scale of JSS: good reliability with high overall consistency (0.91)
Coefficient alpha was 0.89 given by BLAU in 1999
Limitations
data was collected through a digital Google form sent to the participants. The data collected did
not specify the size of the organization making the nature of organization studied very diverse.
The inclusion criteria of respondent’s years of commitment to the organization is relatively low,
that is 2 years, because organizational commitment requires more time to be formed.
Suggestions
a larger and more diverse sample size to improve the generalizability of findings across various
contexts. Data collection should be conducted in person to ensure accuracy and establish a
more reliable interaction with participants. Additionally, participants should have more
experience within their organization, as longer tenure is positively associated with higher levels
of organizational commitment.
