| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立雲林科技大學 === 企業管理系 === 103 === This study aims at distinguishing the difference, between professional workers’ spontaneous concern about their organization and about their profession. Based on the theory of identification and the perspective of organizational culture, this study explores the effects of such spontaneous concerns on work attitudes. A questionnaire was administered to 268 teachers in 27 public schools of special education in Taiwan to examine the hypothesis with a multi-level analysis method.
The empirical findings are as follows:
1.For professional workers, the concepts of felt obligation towards organization and felt obligation towards profession are different.
2.Both organizational identification and professional identification have a positive effect on a professional worker’s felt obligation towards organization, with organizational identification having a greater influence.
3.Both organizational identification and professional identification have a positive effect on a professional worker’s felt obligation towards profession, however, no significant difference exists in the degree of influence of the two identifications.
4.Employee-oriented and job-oriented organizational cultures have no significant effects on professional workers’ felt obligation towards organization.
5.Employee-oriented and job-oriented organizational cultures have no significant effects on professional workers’ felt obligation towards profession.
The two main implications of this study are as follows:
(1) Creating an employee-oriented culture and job-oriented culture may not sufficiently produce a significant effect on employee work attitudes; situational factors and organizational and employee characteristics must be taken into consideration. (2) When exploring the reciprocal obligations of employers and employees, one has to consider whether organizational and employee characteristics are within the scope of application of social exchange theories.
