The Importance of Organizational Identification on Job Satisfaction: Comparison with Team-Member Exchange, and the role of Organizational Identification as a moderator
The Importance of Organizational Identification on Job Satisfaction:
Comparison with Team-Member Exchange,
and the role of Organizational Identification as a moderator
1. The Research Focus
2. Main Framework
3. ANOVA Analysis
4. Questionnaires
5. Results, Practical Implications and Suggestions
This research focused on how TMX(Team-Member Exchange) and OI(Organizational Identification) influences Job satisfaction. We grouped TMX and OI in four categories of high and low to implement an ANOVA analysis to see which provides a greater effect. Additional to testing this model, we tested the main framework of OI as the moderator between the effect of TMX to job satisfaction. We gave out questionnaires and collected 120 samples from different industries. The results prove the importance of increasing both TMX and OI, with OI as a priority, to enhance job satisfaction. These are our practical implications and suggestions for the working environment.
01/ Introduction
Background Information
1. The importance of Job Satisfaction
2. Factors that influence Job SatisfactionMotivation Theories
3. TMX(Team-Member Exchange)
4. OI (Organizational Identification)
01/ Introduction
Research Gap & Niches1. TMX->JS :
(1) Gap/Niche: Only high quality exchange
(2) What we did: Compare both high and low quality exchange
2. OI&TMX->JS:
(1) Gap/Niche : OI->JS research missing.
(2) What we did : ANOVA Comparison
3. OI as Moderator between TMX->JS :
(1) Gap/Niche : Lack integrated structure.
(2) What we did : Propose a structure to combine them.
01/ Introduction
Research Purpose and ValueIf we could explain the correlations in the structure, we could suggest companies to:
(1) Increase or decrease OI to enhance the effect of TMX on job satisfaction.
(2) See which factor should be prioritized.
to increase job satisfaction and improve the working environment.
02/ Literature ReviewLiterature of Variables
Team-Member Exchange (TMX)
An individual member’s perceptions of his or her exchange relationship within one group or team (Seers, 1989)
When the employee who has low conscientiousness or agreeableness exists in the organization, the development of LMX is very critical.
The reciprocal exchange relationships between members with a team in terms of ideas, assistance, communication, and support
02/ Literature ReviewLiterature of Variables
Job Satisfaction Definition
Overall feelings and emotions an individual employee has to the role he or she plays in the organization. (Mark A. Tietjen and Robert M. Myers (1988))
Weiss, 1967:Three dimensions: 1. Intrinsic job satisfaction Personal job characteristics: Work, achievement2. Extrinsic job satisfactionEnvironmental job characteristics: Coworkers, Supervision…etc3. General Job satisfaction
02/ Literature Review
Literature of Variables
Organizational Identification (OI)
A perceived oneness with an organization and the experience of the organization's successes and failures as one's own.
OI is correlated with a wide range of work-related attitudes, behaviors, and context variables.
OI greatly affects organization’s dedication or job content(wide range of work-related attitudes, behaviors, and context variables.).
Ashforth and Mael (1992)
02/ Literature Review
Literature of Variables1. Team-Member Exchange and Job SatisfactionPeople with high quality in TMX among group members are more likely to facilitate job satisfaction.
2. Organization Identification and Job SatisfactionOrganizational identifications and job-related variables like job satisfaction mutually affect each other.
3. Team-Member Exchange and Organization IdentificationIn high-quality TMX situations, an organization-identified employee would receive mutual care, support, and feedback from his or her colleagues.

02/ Literature Review
Hypothesis
Hypothesis1 Four clusters which contain different degrees in Team-Memberexchange and Organization Identification have significant differences in Job Satisfaction.
Hypothesis2 Team-Member Exchange has a positive relationship with Job Satisfaction
Hypothesis3 Organization Identification can moderate the relationship between Team-Member Exchange and Job Satisfaction. That is, when organization identification is higher, the positive relationship between Team-member Exchange and Job Satisfaction will be strengthened.

CMV To Avoid the same people finishing one questionnaire, we
divided the Questionnaire distribution into 2 stages. We avoided the same respondent finishing different variance
questionnaires at the same time. We Divided the questionnaire into 2 stages, the first stage is to
observe TMX and OI, the second stage is to observe JS. We waited a week for individual employee perceptions of TMX
and OI to affect Job Satisfaction.

SPSS Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Z-score of the IV and the moderator
Step 2: Multiply both Z-scores = Interaction Term
Step 3: (1)Put Control Variables in Model 1
(2)Both Z-scores in Model 2
(3)Put the Interaction Term inModel 3
04/ RESULTStrengthened positive relationship
H3: SupportedOrganization Identification can moderate the relationship between Team-Member Exchange and Job Satisfaction.
05/ Conclusion
Short Conclusion
1. In four clusters
High OI & High TMX has greater influence than Low OI & Low TMX in JS.Low OI & High TMX has greater influence than Low OI & Low TMX in JS.However, High OI & Low TMX and Low OI & High TMX have no significance in JS.
2. Further discussion
Our results showed that OI can strengthen the relationship between TMX and JS.
05/ Conclusion
Discussion1. Research
(a) We have external validity, which can be utilized in different industries(b) Add more moderators to try to find different relationship in the model of IV to DV
2. Practical
(a) Suggest companies to enhance both TMX and OI to increase JS(b) Companies can try to increase employees OI first and then can make it much easy to
increase JS if the company increases TMX
05/ Conclusion
Limitation & Recommendation1. Sample size too small
2. Software: SPSS, LISREL, AMOS, Smart PLS
3. Limitation of Control Variables
(a) Tenure: Most of our samples (half) worked for less than 3 years.(b) Add an additional control variable: Level of Education.
