Dual Identification

We examine the organizational identification of contract workers who are associated with two organizations, their primary employer and their client. We conducted a study of contract workers in the information technology industry to address three questions: (1) What are the antecedents of contract workers' identification with the work organizations with which they are associated? (2) Do these antecedents differentially predict identification with each of the target organizations? and (3) What is the relationship between contract workers' identification with their employing organization and their identification with their client organization? Results indicate that contract workers identify with both the employing and client organizations based on perceived characteristics of the organization as well as social relations within the organization. Perceived characteristics of the organization are more closely related with identification with the employer, and social relations variables are more closely related with identification with the client. Contract workers are more likely to identify with both their client and their employing organization when the two are perceived to be similar on key attributes.

The Relationship

This chapter examines the relationship between Financial Reporting of Intellectual Capital and Company's Performances in Indian Information Technology Industry. The sample consisted of 60 companies listed on NSE for a time period of 1999-00 to 2008-09. Value-Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM) method developed by Pulic (1998) was used for the analysis of the data. The chapter uses VAICTM model and regression equation for the evaluation of intellectual capital and their relationship with productivity, profitability, and market valuation of the companies. The result of the chapter supports the hypothesis that profitability of the company can be explained by the intellectual capital. However, there is no significant association of intellectual capital with productivity and market capitalization of the companies for the selected time period of year 1999-00 to 2008-09.

Item Scale

The study concentrates on the important dimensions of personality traits and their influence on organisational citizenship behaviour. 169 engineers working in the IT sector of small and medium capital companies, with two or more years of experience in the current organisation is chosen as the sample for this study. Personality traits are measured using Big-Five Inventory (BFI) developed by John, Donahue, and Kentle, 1991; Goldberg, 1992; Costa and McCrae (1992). Organisation Citizenship Behaviour was measured using the 24-item scale created by Podsakoff et al (1990). Pearson correlation, linear regression and ANOVA are used to analyse the data. The regression statistics revealed that the relationship between ‘personality traits’ and ‘organisational citizenship behaviour’ is significant. The key findings were that personality traits like extraversion, conscientiousness and agreeableness has a significant impact on organisational citizenship behaviour. The research sample was geographically limited. The study is quantitative and may be inadequate in accounting for the personal bias of respondents.

This paper examines the relationship between Financial Reporting of Intellectual Capital and Company’s Performances in Indian Information Technology Industry. For the purpose of this study, sixty companies listed on NSE were taken for a period of 1999-00 to 2008-09. Value Added Intellectual Co-efficient (VAICTM) method developed by Pulic (1998) was used for the analysis of the data. The present study uses VAICTM model and regression equation for the evaluation of intellectual capital and their relationship with productivity, profitability, and market valuation of the companies. The result of the study supports the hypothesis that profitability of the company can be explained by the intellectual capital. However, there is no significant association of intellectual capital with productivity and market capitalization of the companies for the selected time period of year 1999-00 to 2008-09.

The Relationship

Radicalness of innovation is often contingent upon access to technologies whose applications exceed their technological definition (technology distinctness (TD)) and sourcing innovation outside a firm’s focal industry (exterior sourcing (ES)). However, going outside one’s focal industry can be expensive and can lead to inconclusive results. We posit that exterior sourcing and technology distinctness, both have inverse U relationship with radicalness. In addition, we argue that exterior sourcing negatively moderates the relationship between technology distinctness and radicalness such that high technology distinctness, and fewer and focused exterior sourcing will have the strongest relationship with radicalness. To test our assertions, we used patent filings between 1996 and 2009 from the information technology (IT) industry from the standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 database. The empirical evidence supported our claims. Findings suggest that there is an optimum recombination of exterior sourcing and technology distinctness in which radicalness is maximised. We conclude the paper by summarising the key findings, discussing implications for theory and practice, and suggesting avenues for future research.
