Job Involvement among White Collar Employees
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Understanding, predicting, and improving employee behaviors are major aspects of a manager‘s job. Managers often try to influence work-related attitudes in order to create behavioral changes, relying on moderating variables such as the importance of the attitude, its specificity, its accessibility, whether social pressures exist between attitudes, and whether employees have direct experience with the attitude to impact what employees behaviorally do. This attitude-behavior relationship asserts that attitudes significantly predict future behavior by taking the previously mentioned moderating variables into account (Ajzen, 2001, 1996; Kraus, 1995; Sutton, 1998). To actually implement their decisions to influence employee attitudes, managers often enact various organizational and personal influence tactics. Most, if not all of these decisions are made under uncertainty and the effectiveness of some of these decisions remains questionable even after implementation. An alternative to the previously-mentioned active engagement process is the use of sensitivity analysis in which the user is allowed to play ―what if,‖ simulated games with a model to better understand the model‘s relationships and inherent tradeoffs (Fischoff, Slovic, & Lichtenstein, 1979; Liberatore & Nydick, 2003; Walker & Fox-Rushby, 2001; Wallace, 2000).
