AbstractProfessional research and development (R&D) organizations typically employ highly educated professionals to work on a range of creative, intellectual projects in their chosen fields. In these organizations, organizational culture and subculture are critical factors connected with project success. This paper explores the existence of subcultures and the factors that contribute to subcultures within a professional R&D organization, and examines subcultural effects on the job satisfaction of R&D professionals to suggest a suitable cultural type for professional R&D organizations. Autonomy and group cohesion are considered, so grid–group theory is applied to measure R&D culture. The subjects were 285 full-time researchers who had worked at the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, an international IT institution, for over 5 years. Differences were found in organizational culture according to the research fields and types (applied and developmental research). The egalitarian culture type (low grid, high group) is found to be suitable for improving job satisfaction in R&D organizations.

The Relationship

Purpose. This study tested a conceptual model based on research supporting the relationship between the predictors of hardiness, supervisor support, and group cohesion and the criterions of job stress and job satisfaction and between the predictor of job stress and the criterion of job satisfaction. Design. The study employed a cross-sectional research design. Survey data were collected as part of the baseline measures assessed prior to an organizational hardiness intervention. Setting. Worksite of Dell Computer Corporation in Austin, Texas. Subjects. The subjects included 160 full-time Dell employees recruited from a convenience sample representing nine work groups (response rate = 90%). Measures. Hardiness was measured using the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS), job stress was measured using the Perceived Work Stress Scale (PWSS), and supervisor support, group cohesion, and job satisfaction were measured using a proprietary employee attitude survey. Results. In the proposed model, high hardiness, supervisor support, and group cohesion were related to lower levels of job stress, which in turn was related to higher levels of job satisfaction. The model also proposed direct paths from hardiness, supervisor support, and group cohesion to job satisfaction. Path analysis was used to examine the goodness of fit of the model. The proposed model was a good fit for the data (χ2[1, N = 160] = 1.85, p = .174) with the exception of the direct path between group cohesion and job satisfaction. Substantial portions of the variances in job stress ( R2 = .19) and job satisfaction (R2 = .44) were accounted for by the predictors. Conclusion. Implications for targeted worksite health promotion efforts to lower job stress and enhance job satisfaction are discussed.

ABSTRACT Context: Athletic trainers' (ATs) job satisfaction has been extensively researched, yet little is known about how satisfaction relates to organizational culture. Objective: To examine ATs' level of job satisfaction and organizational fit perceptions within their employment setting. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Web-based questionnaire. Patients or Other Participants: 5,704 ATs (full-time employment, nonacademic appointment) were contacted via email; 841 participants began our survey (access rate = 14.7%), and 285 completed the survey (5.0% response rate; 33.9% completion rate; men = 107 (37.5%), women = 178 (62.5%); age = 34.8±9.9 years; employment setting = 34.7% NCAA D1 (n=99), 18.9% NCAA DII (n=54), 29.5% NCAA DIII (n=84), and 16.9% other. Main Outcome Measure(s): Participants responded to an online survey consisting of demographic questions, a 36-item Likert scale Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), and the Cable and Judge revision of O'Reilly, Chatman, and Caldwell's 40-item ranking organizational cultures profile (OCP) survey. Multiple linear regression models for total or subscale job satisfaction were used to analyze the data. All models adjusted for the same demographic measures and the independent variables of interest were created from the organizational culture survey responses. Results: Coworkers (min=9, max=24, rho=0.79), communications (min=9, max=24, rho=0.78), and work itself (min=4, max=24, rho=0.71) were the most correlated with the total job satisfaction score (min=96, max=175). 54% of respondents selected adaptability, stability, and taking individual responsibility as one of their two most characteristic attributes in the organizational culture profile. 83% of respondents indicated being aggressive, high pay for good performance, and being distinctive/different from others as their two least characteristic traits. Conclusions: ATs' job satisfaction was impacted most by organizational factors, such as coworkers and communication, as well as individual attributes like adaptability, stability, and taking personal responsibility.

Background/Objectives: According to the National Statistical Office's August 2018 「Survey of the economically active population and additional surveys by type of work」, the proportion of irregular workers among all wage earners stands at 32.9 percent. As such, irregular workers play a certain role in various sectors of the corporate organization, but they are a source of conflict within the organization due to treatment inequality and discrimination. Such conflicts within corporate organizations are further cited as causing socioeconomic problems. In this study, we intend to identify the types of organizational culture that affect the job satisfaction and organizational commitment of irregular workers to help establish a desirable organizational culture, mitigate negative conflicts within the organization and improve organizational performance.
