Wu, J and Liu, A M M (2006) A study on the relationship between organizational commitment and task performance in Chinese construction firms. In: Boyd, D (ed.) Proceedings of 22nd Annual ARCOM Conference, 4-6 September 2006, Birmingham, UK.
Abstract
In the Chinese construction field, it is more difficult for the firms to hold the current position because of changes in construction technology and materials. To gain continuous improvement of their performance has become their utmost focus, in this way, the firms have to study how to learn as an organism. Organizational commitment enhances the employees' feelings of security, efficacy, loyalty and duty; encourage creativity and reduce absenteeism. This study is going to investigate if there is a relationship between organizational commitment and task performance under the setting of Chinese construction firms through organizational learning theory. By investigating such relationship, it is hoped to stimulate the development of a more thorough understanding of the constructs, which may provide guidance to managers of construction firms to better manage their human resource in order to improve the employees' task performance as well as the performance of the whole organization.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
