Three Studies of The Effects of Attitude and Perception of Organisation on Job Performance and Productivity

Abstract

This research explores the problem of how employee ownership may be related to job attitudes, job behaviour, and organisational performance. A conceptualisation of the possible relationships between employee ownership, job attitudes and organisational performance, and variables which may moderate these relationships, is developed, and the plausibility of some of these relationships is attitudes, job behaviour, and organisational empirically assessed through longitudinal study of a Canadian trucking company recently purchased by most of its workers and managers. The central premise of this study is that employee ownership may affect job attitudes both directly through the effects of individual share ownership and indirectly by changing patterns of organisation influence and employee participation in decisions.
