在組織變革環境下,員工之組織承諾往往受到破壞,如何維持員工之組織承諾已成為許多轉型或變革中組織時常需要面對的課題。本研究之主要目的在以賦權與組織承諾相關理論,提出研究架構來詮釋組織如何在變革環境下,透過賦權來提升和強化員工組織承諾的過程。其中本研究重點在探討員工之心理契約與內外控傾向在主要變項賦權與組織承諾間關係的干擾效果。 本研究以台灣南部地區進行民營化中的三家公營事業員工作為研究對象,以問卷調查方式收集資料,共收回有效問卷213份。本研究實證之結果指出,在組織變革環境中,員工之賦權有助於提升員工對組織之承諾,而員工之內控傾向對知覺心理契約違反有顯著負向影響。本研究結果也顯示,員工之內外控傾向、知覺心理契約違反、與賦權之交互作用會負向影響其組織承諾;其中,外控傾向之員工,其賦權對組織承諾之影響顯著高於內控傾向之員工;而員工之知覺心理契約違反會干擾其賦權對組織承諾之影響關係。本文最後提出研究結果之學術與管理實務之貢獻與意涵以及未來研究建議。
In a changing environment, employee commitment to any organization is easily disrupted. The major purpose of this research is to establish a framework that explains how to use empowerment to strengthen employee commitment to an organization and examine the moderating effects of locus of control and perceived psychological contract breach under changing conditions. A questionnaire survey of 213 employees at three of Taiwan's state-owned enterprises under privatization or reorganization was conducted. The hypotheses test results support the significant influence of empowerment has on employee organizational commitment. The results show that empowerment perceived by employees that have external locus of control has a more significant positive impact on organizational commitment. The results also reveal that empowerment perceived by employees who perceived higher psychological contract breach has a more significant positive impact on organizational commitment. The academy and management contribution and implications of this study are discussed and some suggestions for future research are recommended.
