The Moderating Role of Personality in HRM - from the Influence of Job Stress on Job Burnout Perspective

[[abstract]]This paper aimed to explore the relationship between auditors' job stress and job burnout, and the moderating role of the locus of control from a job-demand perspective. Questionnaires were collected from accounting firms in Taiwan with high workload and employee turnover. Regressions were used to examine the influences of six dimensions of job stress on three dimensions of job burnout. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the moderating effect of internal/external locus of control between job stress and job burnout. Results show that auditors' job stress positively influences job burnout; internal/external locus of control reveals a moderating effect between job stress and job burnout. These findings suggest that improvement of job stress and decrease of job burnout are the priorities in human resource management. Moreover, in comparison to the external locus of control, people with an internal locus of control experience lower positive influence of job stress on job burnout. These empirical findings affect the decision-making for the field of the human resource management and organizational behavior.[[notice]]補正完畢[[journaltype]]國外[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[booktype]]紙本[[countrycodes]]US

Corporate social responsibility: A concern among employees

[[abstract]]In the past, the extant research of CSR was mainly focused on the relations of CSR to organizational performance, financial performance, social responsibility investment, and firm competitiveness. In this paper, from employees' perspective, we used social identity theory, organizational justice theory, and empirical researches to develop our hypotheses. We acquired 278 valid questionnaires and exercise multiple regression and hierarchical regression. These findings revealed that employee perception of the organization's CSR effort has a positive effect on organizational commitment; employee perception of the organization's CSR effort has a positive effect on job satisfaction; job satisfaction has a positive effect on organizational commitment; and partial mediation of job satisfaction in the relationship between employee perception of the organization's CSR effort and organizational commitment.[[notice]]補正完畢[[journaltype]]國外[[incitationindex]]EI[[booktype]]紙本[[booktype]]電子版[[countrycodes]]NL

Empirical study on personality traits, job satisfaction, and reward system preferences

[[abstract]]This paper empirically examines the relationship among personality traits, job satisfaction, and preference for reward system using a sample of direct selling employees. A survey is administered to 318 salesmen of direct selling in Taiwan. These findings include 1. If a direct seller’s personality trait is more agreeable, he/she will have higher job satisfaction. 2. If the direct seller’s personality trait tends to be more neurotic then job satisfaction will be lower. 3. If a direct selling company uses social rewards to reward direct sellers, both their intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction will increase significantly. 4. If a direct selling company uses material rewards, the extrinsic satisfaction significantly increases only. 5. Direct sellers who are more agreeable tend to prefer social rewards. From a psychological perspective, the understanding of reward system preference assists companies in designing a proper motivation system to meet the actual needs of employees and enhance their job satisfaction. Furthermore, these empirical evidences can facilitate companies’ human resource management strategy.[[incitationindex]]SSCI[[booktype]]電子版[[iscallforpapers]]
