Context Effects in Ethical Evaluations
Context effects have traditionally been explored as a reliability concern and detected through the use of univariate, test/retest techniques. We argue that context effects may actually represent a threat to validity and, as a consequence, traditional univariate measurement techniques will fail to detect their full impact. Using an experimental design which manipulates the context of questions involving ethics, we demonstrate that priming influenc…
Validation of a Measure of Organizational Citizenship Behavior Against an Objective Behavioral Criterion
This study examined the factor structure of a revised version of a measure of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and assessed its validity against an objective behavioral criterion. Ratings of employees' OCB were provided by managers of 16 restaurants in the fast service industry. The objective measure of behavior was whether or not employees returned an attitude survey. Factor analysis suggested that the revised OCB instrument adequately …
The social desirability response bias in ethics research
Interrelationships of Work Commitment Constructs
Bivariate correlations have typified research on interrelationships of work commitment constructs. A model of work commitment is presented which specifies multivariate relationships among organizational commitment, career salience, work group attachment, job involvement, and the Protestant work ethic. Data from a sample of university employees reveal that multivariate findings are generally consistent with reported bivariate correlations. While f…
The consequences of organizational commitment
Extensive research on the consequences of organizational commitment (OC) has been conducted over the past decade. The purpose of this paper is to summarize empirical evidence about the relationship between OC and work outcomes and to examine the effect of methodological decisions on the OC–work outcome relationship. A meta‐analysis of 35 studies of the OC–work outcome linkage reveals that the overall empirical relationship between OC and outcome …
Multiple roles and organizational commitment
Using role theory as a conceptual framework, the influence of extra‐organizational ties on the employee's level of organizational commitment is explored in the present study. Two competing models of the relationship between work and outside work ties are proposed: an expansion model which holds that individuals view the available supply of energy and effort as abundant and expandable, and a scarcity model which posits that strong commitment to on…
Media coverage of corporate malfeasance in the oil industry
Due to space, time and resource constraints, all potential news events cannot be reported in the media. This article examines the “reasonableness” of media coverage of the violations of the 25 largest U.S. oil firms on network news, in newsmagazines and in The Wall Street Journal. The size of firm, violation record of firm, and perceiced seriousness of offense are empirically assessed as alternative explanations of media coverage. Findings sugges…
The social control of big business
Viewed from a conflict perspective, governmental agencies are tools of power and privilege. Subservient to powerful economic interest groups, regulatory agencies are claimed to exercise little, if any, effective control over the activities of big business. Four hypotheses derived from a conflict perspective on the social control of big business are set forth: (1) less social control is exercised over big business than small business; (2) since th…
Women in Toxic Work Environments
In 1975, the Bunker Hill Company of Kellogg, Idaho, refused to give fertile female employees jobs involving exposure to lead unless they were sterilized. This paper analyzes the development of the Bunker Hill controversy using the Spector and Kitsuse model of social problem development. We refine the model by considering the resources needed by the claims-making groups within each stage of development. Then we suggest modifications to the model t…
