Individual Values and Social Exchange Variables
研究了以色列教师个体价值观与组织承诺的关系,以及承诺和价值观对工作表现和组织公民行为的共同影响,发现集体主义价值观对情感和规范承诺有额外解释力,但承诺对行为的预测作用较弱。
This study examines the relationship between individual values and organizational commitment and the joint effect of commitment dimensions and individual values on employees' in-role performance and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The sample includes 539 secular Israeli teachers employed in 20 secular schools. The OCB data were provided by each school's principal. Hierarchical linear modeling analyses showed individual values, particularly collectivism, were related to affective and normative commitment above and beyond the effect of organizational justice. The findings also showed that individual values were related to three of the behavioral outcomes, also above and beyond the effect of the social exchange variables. The relationship of commitment forms to in-role performance and OCB was rather weak and raises some questions about the utility of organizational commitment in predicting these outcomes. The findings' implications for the continuation of research on the relationship between individual values and workplace attitudes and behaviors are discussed.
