A qualitative study was carried out to portray the work orientations of 30 low-qualified working young adults in two contrasted economies: Albania and Switzerland. The analysis of their answers to the “lottery question” showed that most participants would continue to work, either to be busy, feed a passion, feel useful, or grow. In contrast to participants from Switzerland, Albanian participants would more easily modify some aspects of their work. Globally, findings reveal that participants’ current situations tend to differ from what they expect from work, which impacts the quality of their work integration and has critical implications for career counseling.
The aim of this study is to investigate the
relationship between the employees’ perception of justice at the workplace, in
relation to the organizational commitment. The study was carried out in Kosovo
and its findings contribute to the service industry, being the most developed in
that region. This especially applies to the banking sector, which is still in a
transitional phase in Kosovo, with the potential benefit, in terms of better
qualification of the staff. The data is collected from a sample of 256
participants, mainly from the banking sector (N=148), but also other sectors,
such as the public sector (N=28), private business (N=34), NGOs (N=26) and
others (N=20). This study hypothesizes that the perceived organizational
justice has a positive effect on organizational commitment, with the empirical results
supporting the hypothesis.
