“…The third dimension of the model, labelled "fulfilling and productive work", has content related to innovation and intrinsic work motivation, which has also been the subject of literature reviews (e.g., Seeck & Diehl, 2017). Other subjects within the content of this dimension are satisfaction and recognition (Zeb, Rehman, Saeed, & Ullah, 2014), meaningful work (Bendassolli, Coelho-Lima, de Araujo Pinheiro, & de Siqueira Gê, 2015;Chalofsky, 2003) and commitment (Gilbert, Holdsworth, & Kyle, 2017), to name but a few. Ferraro, Pais, Moreira and dos Santos (2017) have shown the strong correlation between this Decent Work dimension and autonomous forms of work motivation, namely identified and intrinsic work motivation types as defined (and measured) by Self-determination theory (Gagné et al, 2015).…”

Decent work expressing universal values and respecting cultural diversity: propositions for intervention Autor(es): Santos, Nuno Rebelo dos Publicado por: Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra URL persistente: URI:http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/47199Abstract Decent work is a comprehensive concept expressing people's aspirations for their working lives. This concept has had great legitimacy since it was proposed by the International Labour Organization, the United Nations agency for labour issues, which is the well-established institutional world forum for cooperation. Furthermore, decent work has joined various research subjects in labour-related disciplines, gaining a central role as a research subject and intervention compass. This paper aims to discuss the consequences of societies' cultural complexity for decent work intervention. After highlighting previous research subjects in labour-related disciplines that are closely related to the decent work dimensions, the consequences of cultural complexity for intervention are pointed out. The tension between universal human values, cultural diversity and culture as an evolving social phenomenon is the trigger for proposing a balance expressed in several propositions concerning culture-sensitive intervention in decent work. Trabalho digno expressando valores universais e respeitando diversidade cultural: Proposições para a intervenção ResumoTrabalho digno é um conceito abrangente que expressa as aspirações das pessoas para a sua vida profissional. Este conceito tem tido elevada legitimidade na medida em que foi proposto pela Organização Internacional do Trabalho, a agência da Organização das Nações Unidas para as questões laborais, que é o fórum mundial institucional mais bem estabelecido para a cooperação. Além disso, o trabalho digno agregou diversos temas de investigação das várias disciplinas que abordam as questões laborais, assumindo assim um papel central como objeto de investigação e como bússola orient...

“…On the other, from the practitioners and managers’ perspective this issue is also relevant, as understanding the relationship between EL and volunteers’ turnover might offer valuable insights on how to prevent volunteers’ dropout and to promote their organizational commitment and job satisfaction ( do Nascimento et al, 2018 ). The latter two are in fact both strong antecedents of performance and organizational success ( Miller et al, 1990 ; Gilbert et al, 2017 ).…”

Ethical Leadership as Antecedent of Job Satisfaction, Affective Organizational Commitment and Intention to Stay Among Volunteers of Non-profit Organizations

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of this paper is to investigate among a group of non-profit organizations: (a) the effect of ethical leadership (EL) on volunteers’ satisfaction, affective organizational commitment and intention to stay in the same organization; (b) the role played by job satisfaction as a mediator in the relationship between EL and volunteers’ intentions to stay in the same organization, as well as between EL and affective commitment. An anonymous questionnaire was individually administered to 198 Italian volunteers of different non-profit organizations. The questionnaire contained the Ethical Leadership Scale, the Volunteers Satisfaction Index, the Affective organization Scale, as well as questions regarding the participants’ age, sex, type of work, level of education, length of their volunteer works, intention to volunteer in the following months in the same organization. The construct as well the effects of EL on volunteers is approached in light of the Social Exchange Theory and the Social Learning Theory. Structural equation models were used to test hypothesized relationships. The results confirm the role of mediation of volunteer satisfaction in the relationships between the variables studied. In particular, EL was found to be positively associated both with volunteers’ intention of staying and with their affective commitment. In the first case this relationship is fully explained by the mediation of the volunteers’ satisfaction, while the latter is explained by both direct and indirect factors. To the authors’ knowledge, this the first attempt to understand the role played by EL on volunteers’ behavior and, more in general, in the management of non-profit organizations. Findings are relevant both for practitioners and managers of non-profit organization, since they suggest the relevance of the perception of EL by volunteers, as well as for scholars, since they further deepen the knowledge on EL and its effects on the followers. Limits of the study: the questionnaire was administered only among a group of non-statistical sample of volunteers. Furthermore, the study reached only volunteers from Italian non-profit organization.

“…According to this perspective, volunteerism meets an individual’s needs for self-expression and approval from others, and fulfills personal obligations. By fulfilling these needs, self-esteem increases which further results in other positive psychological consequences [30]. In addition, Kahn [5] suggested that activities outside of work such as volunteering can charge employees and provide them with more psychological resources.…”

This study investigated the mediating effects of happiness and cohesion in the relationship between employee volunteerism, in-role behavior, and helping behavior. The study surveyed 312 full-time employees in South Korea, and regression analyses and the bootstrapping method were used to test the hypotheses. The study found happiness and cohesion to mediate the relationships between employee volunteerism and in-role and helping behavior. The findings suggest that employee volunteerism can promote a healthy working environment through increased feelings of happiness and cohesion as well as by improving performance behaviors.
