Abstract

This study seeks to investigate the moderating role of locus of control (LOC) in the relationship between trust in organization (TiO) and workplace deviant behavior (WDB). Three forms of deviant behavior are identified: interpersonal deviance, production deviance, and property deviance. The regression analyses carried out on a sample of 355 employees show mixed results. Trust in organization (TiO) demonstrates a negative relationship with production deviance and property deviance. In contrast, trust in organization (TiO) is positively related to interpersonal deviance. Furthermore, locus of control (LOC) is found to moderate the relationship between trust in organization (TiO) and deviant behaviors. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of organizational variables (conflict, blocked career, alienation, work overload, and unfavorable work environment) and personality variables (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness) on job stress among managers working in the electronics sector in 4Malaysia and whether this relationship varies according to their gender. Analyses of 285 responses using hierarchical regression revealed that four of five organizational variables (blocked career, alienation, work overload, and conflict) had significant positive effects on job stress. In terms of the personality traits, neuroticism and conscientiousness were found to be significantly and positively related to stress. Extraversion and agreeableness, on the other hand, had significant negative effects on job stress. Gender was found to moderate the effects of all the independent variables on job stress at the 0.01 level. Implications for managerial practice and future research are discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationships between belief, attitude, subjective norm, intention, and behavior towards the choice of infant food based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). An analysis on a sample of 108 mothers indicates that the TRA could be used in predicting choice decision of infant food formulas by explaining 57 percent of the variance in the behavioral intention. The subjective norm component had a higher predictive power than the attitudinal component. Of this normative component, parents or relatives and doctors were found to be more influential. Intention to choose an infant formula was also influenced by family income. The belief outcomes in evaluating a premium infant formula and economic infant formula were found to be different. For premium infant formula, brand trusted, closest to breast milk and nutrients content were identified as the dominant attributes. In contrast, availability, affordable, and nutrients content were identified as the prime beliefs in evaluating economic infant formula. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract

The present research examines the influence of organizational justice (distributive justice and procedural justice) on predicting job performance (task performance and contextual performance). Survey data were drawn from a sample of 136 customer-contact employees within the telecommunications industry in Malaysia. Results of the regression analysis illustrate that distributive justice alone has a significant and positive relationship with task performance. On the other hand, only procedural justice is found to be significantly and positively related to contextual performance. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are highlighted.

Abstract

This study investigates the variables that may be predictive of hotel employees’ turnover intentions. The influence of trust in organization as a mediator in the proposed relationship is also examined. A total of 380 operational employees from 5-star rated hotels completed the questionnaires. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the relationships hypothesized in the model. Most of the hypotheses were supported. It is suggested that to enhance employees’ trust in organization and subsequently to reduce turnover intentions, hotels need to continue to provide training and development programs to their employees, conduct fair and formal appraisal system, and provide ample and clear career advancement to their employees. Limitations and suggestions for future studies are forwarded.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to determine the influence of the noninstrumental component of procedural justice on organizational commitment and whether this relationship is moderated by age. Regression analysis on a sample of 161 employees revealed that noninstrumental procedural justice had a significant effect on organizational commitment. The hypothesis concerning the role of age as a moderator was not supported. Implications for managerial practice and future research are discussed.

Abstract

The main goal of this study is to examine whether the extent of involvement in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices has a positive effect on job characteristics. Data was gathered from a sample of 184 respondents derived from manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Results from the regression analyses revealed that the extent of employee’s involvement in TPM practices is positively related to the five core job dimensions (skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback). Theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge of how job satisfaction (extrinsic and intrinsic satisfaction) and affective commitment influence in-role behaviour of nonsupervisory workers employed within the Malaysian hotel industry. The mediating role of affective commitment on the relationship between job satisfaction and in-role behaviour was also investigated. Regression analyses on the 188 responses collected demonstrated that both intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction had positive relationships with affective commitment. Specifically, intrinsic satisfaction was found to be more influential in explaining the variation in affective commitment. Additionally, affective commitment was found to have a significant and positive impact on in-role behaviour. The findings indicate that the two dimensions of job satisfaction were not significant predictors of in-role behaviour, thereby suggesting that the condition for the mediation effect of affective commitment was not supported. Implications of the findings to theory and practice are discussed. The paper concludes by identifying some possible limitations and offering suggestions regarding further investigations on in-role behaviour.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the relationship between belief, attitude, subjective norm, intention, and behavior towards numbers gambling (legal and illegal) based on the theory of reasoned action (TRA) proposed by Fishbein and Ajzen (1975). Statistical analysis on 198 responses indicates that the TRA could ue used in predicting choice decision of numbers buyers by explaining 58.8 percent of the variance in the intervening variable namely intention to select the operator type. The subjective norm component had a higher predictive power than the attitudinal component. Of the two elements in the normative components, closest friend was found to be more influential.  In the corresponding attitudinal components, the more influential elements (in descending order) are convenience, trusted operator, flexible games, and risk.Results of this study indicate that there are about equal number of people who prefer legal and illegal operators. Those in the younger age group are more likely to buy from the illegal operators. Those who prefer the illegal operators buy numbers more often and spend more on bets.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to empirically evaluate the influence of role stressors (role conflict and role ambiguity) in predicting job performace (task performance and contextual performance). Survey data was drawn from a sample of 136 customer-contact employees within the telecomunications industry of Malaysia. Results of the regression analyses showed that role conflict alone had a significant and negative relationship with task performance. On the other hand, both role conflict and role ambiguity were found to be significantly and negatively related to contextual performance. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.
