Study Notes
Role of Organizational Culture
- Organizational culture plays a crucial role in employee satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and work engagement.
- Study objective: Exploring the role of organizational culture in meeting employee psychological needs and fostering work engagement in public and private sector managers.
- Results: Organizational culture creates a sense of relatedness, positively impacting work engagement. Women managers show a higher need for relatedness. Private sector employees exhibit higher satisfaction for all basic psychological needs, and increased work satisfaction with advancing job levels.
- Implication: Understanding cultural factors is critical for developing organizational culture that increases relatedness among employees, particularly concerning gender and organizational type.
Literature Review
-
Organizational culture: Shared meaning among organizational members. Key elements include Adaptability, Mission, Consistency, and Involvement (Denison).
-
Self-Determination Theory (SDT): Fulfillment of autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs is essential for individual development and wellbeing. This is important against potential psychological pathology.
-
Work Engagement: A positive, dynamic state of work experienced in physical, psychological and emotional involvement.
-
Basic psychological needs: Autonomy, competence, and relatedness are essential for psychological wellbeing. Need Fulfillment correlates with less workplace stress and turnover.
-
Autonomy: Acting from integrated personal values and interest. Experience of choice and voluntary action.
-
Competence: Feeling effective in interactions with environment. Experience of skills adaptation and effectiveness in challenging tasks.
-
Relatedness: Feeling connected to others, experiencing caring for and being cared for. Belongingness both individually and communally.
Method
- Participants: 195 male and female managers from public and private sector organizations.
- Instruments: Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS), Basic Psychological Needs at Work Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES).
- Methods: Stepwise regression, ANOVA, tests on demographics, and mediation models (using PROCESS).
Results
- Relationship between Organisational Culture and Psychological Needs: Involvement within an organization correlates highly with autonomy and competence, as well as positively with relatedness. Consistency strongly correlates with relatedness. Adaptability and mission also correlate with all three basic psychological needs.
- Work Engagement: Organizational culture and its traits are positively related to the various aspects of work engagement(vigor, dedication, absorption). A strong correlation exists between involvement and vigor, devotion, and absorption which is a positive indicator of work engagement.
- Gender Differences: No significant difference in autonomy and competence needs satisfaction across genders. Women demonstrated higher need for relatedness.
- Job Designation and Organizational Culture: Middle and senior managers showed stronger organizational culture perception, higher satisfaction of needs, and increased work engagement.
Discussion
- Mediation: Results indicate that relatedness fully mediated the relationship between organizational culture and overall work engagement. It didn't hold true for autonomy or competence.
- Organizational Culture and Private/Public Sector: Private sector employees showed more fulfilled basic psychological needs and higher engagement compared to their public sector counterparts .
- Job Designation: Need satisfaction and work engagement increased with job level in the organization.
