Is Professionals

There is a long tradition of research on IS professionals that has examined potential gender differences between men and women, beginning with early studies by Igbaria and his colleagues (Guimaraes & Igbaria 1992; Igbaria & Chidambaram 1997; Igbaria & Siegel 1992). While these and many subsequent studies posited differences between men and women IS professionals, very few differences have been found—particularly for variables that are commonly studied: job satisfaction, turnover intentions, organizational commitment, and stress. I first summarize the results from many survey studies published in leading IS scholarly journals, as a way to frame my research on the adaptation of IS professionals to innovations in work practices. Then I summarize my program of research examining demographic variables, including age, gender and cognitive style differences as explanatory variables for a range of outcomes among IS professionals.

Committed human resource is one of the most valuable and effective assets of an organization. Meyer and Allen (1993) have documented that organizational commitment as a leading factor impacting the level of achievement in many organizations. Commitment-based organizations believe that staff’s organizational commitment contributes to workforce stability and better customer service, hence increase business performance. This study investigates the organizational commitment of NGOs employees’ in Bangladesh. It focuses on the relative importance of organizational commitment and their impact on the overall organizational success. A total number of 120 employees from three selected NGOs located at different districts in Bangladesh have been interviewed for this study purpose. Data have been collected through structured questionnaire. While tackling the issue addressed in the study relevant statistical tools and techniques were applied at appropriate places. The researchers have tried to measure the organizational commitment through recognized three major elements like-affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. The study revealed that the level of organizational commitment relating to above mentioned elements is not satisfactory. It is also exposed that demographic variables like age, gender, education and working experiences seemed to affect the commitment of employees. Another noticeable outcome of the study is that the organizational commitment has a significant impact on selected NGOs operations in Bangladesh.

Demographic Heterogeneity

Background: Teachers are actors and thus play various roles and responsibilities in the classroom, school and entire community. Their commitment contributes to increasing the skills, knowledge, creativity, intelligence, devotion, and attitudes of the school community. The demographic heterogeneity of teachers affects not only performance but also thecommitment level of the school community. Objectives:The study aims to find the influence of socio-demographic variables on the organizational commitment of school teachers in Kathmandu and Lalitpur districts. Methods: This study is quantitative and based on primary data. The study has employed a conclusive research design. The population of the study was secondary level teachers in Kathmandu and Lalitpur districts, and a number of them were selected  using the principles of purposive sampling. The size of the sample was 232. Results: The study reveals that affective, continuance, normative as well as overall commitment of teachers in school do not differs in terms of gender and education level. However, affective commitment increases as an increase in service years whereas continuance commitment increases at the beginning years of service for five years. However,between five to ten years, it lessens.Again after ten years, it increases if the teacher is involvedin the same job for one decade. Conclusions: The commitment of teachers is not affected by their gender and education level. However, the years in service spent by teachers influence their affective and continuance commitment but not the normative commitment. Implications: The findings of this study can be useful for school administrators and policymakers to find the influence of demographic factors on the commitment of school teachers.

The Relationship

This study explored the extent of organizational commitment and how this may support or hinder a range of job satisfaction of teachers examined in the Ethiopian primary schools.The research employed correlation design. To this end, one hundred and eighteen 118 (58.1%) teachers were selected from six primary schools using simple random sampling technique and participated in the study. The researchers collected the relevant data from teachers using Spector’s (1997) adopted version of job satisfaction survey (JSS) and Meyer and Allen’s (1990) organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ). The researchers analyzed the data using mean, standard deviation, correlation analysis and t-test. The result showed that there was evidence of positive correlation between teachers’ job satisfaction and their organizational commitment in the sampled schools. Regardless of this, the findings of the study revealed that gender was the only demographic variable that had significant positive relationship with job satisfaction. The other demographic variables such as age, gender, marital status and level of education did not show significant relationship with teachers’ job satisfaction in the sampled schools. Consequent up on this finding it was concluded that schools can enhance the level of teachers’ organizational commitment by creating a more satisfying working environment. As to the demographic variable, since some of the finding contradicts with the existing literature, we need to undertake more studies to have better understanding of the nature of the relationship between teachers demographic variables, job satisfaction and organizational commitment in developing countries context.
