  • structure and Organisational Behaviour of public research institutions under unstable growth of human resources
    International Journal of Services Technology and Management, 2014
    Co-Authors: Mario Coccia
    Abstract:

    The study here analyses the structure and Organisational Behaviour of research organisations in the presence of shrinking budgets. A vital case study of large public research institution in Italy is investigated since it has a similar structure to other European research bodies. Empirical analysis shows negative rates of growth of human resources which are due to austerity programmes of governments to reduce public debt. Results support a pessimistic scenario for this public research body that might downsize the personnel of about 50% in the year 2024 or thereabouts, causing negative effects on performances of the national system of innovation. The method and findings provide vital information to policymakers for understanding the strategic change of public research institutions during environmental turbulence. Fruitful R&D management implications of human resources conclude the paper.

  • New Organisational Behaviour of public research institutions: lessons learned from Italian case study
    International Journal of Business Innovation and Research, 2008
    Co-Authors: Mario Coccia
    Abstract:

    Shrinking public research unit budgets and reform of science sector have been changing Organisational Behaviour of research institutions. Nowadays, public research institutes in some countries (such as Italy, Germany, Australia, Norway and so on) tend to operate as quasi-business firms or research laboratories market-oriented with many characteristics of the business firm, except for the profit motive, and researchers focus their scientific activity on applied research and consultancy to firms, rather than basic research. In addition, reforming based on large sizes of labs is not a sustainable research policy strategy to increase their efficiency if there is the decline of public funds in the public research sector.

  • Notes from a small Island: researching Organisational Behaviour in healthcare from a UK perspective
    Journal of Organizational Behavior, 2006
    Co-Authors: Annabelle L. Mark
    Abstract:

    This paper considers the development of research in Organisational Behaviour within the UK healthcare system since its foundation in 1948. It looks at the location and context of such work, given the unique setting provided in this national organisation. Contextual barriers that are both historical, political ontological and epistemological, are considered in the light of recent research developments in both academia, notably the bienniel international conference Organisational Behaviour in Healthcare (OBHC), where a search for comparative work has engaged with both the wider Organisational and international communities, and government, notably the National Service Delivery and Organisation Research Programme. Confounding much of this is the absence of a way of understanding the complexity of the domain of healthcare in different contexts. The application of the Cynefin framework is then discussed as a way to aid understanding of both the Organisational and research tasks, and to provide a forum for collaborative understanding to allow appropriate research and practice interventions to occur.

  • Unethical Pro-Organisational Behaviour: Concepts, Motives and Unintended Consequences
    2011
    Co-Authors: Sajjad Hosain
    Abstract:

    With the increase in diversity in the nature of job and human Behavioural complicatedness, a new common phenomenon has emerged in workplaces termed as unethical pro-Organisational Behaviour which has succeeded to attract the attention of Behavioural academicians. As a fairly new concept, there is lack of adequate research in this area of Organisational psychology. The article mainly aims at discussing the motives for and the consequences of such Behaviours with the help of existing literature available. The author argues that the organisations should express their intentions and actions in order to reduce such Behavioural tendencies. The article is expected to help further research in this area by summarising the highlights from existing works available.

  • Teachers' Organisational Behaviour in Public and Private Funded Schools.
    International Journal of Educational Management, 2009
    Co-Authors: Marlies Honingh, Frans J. Oort
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to compare teachers' Organisational Behaviour in publicly‐ and privately‐funded schools in the Dutch Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.Design/methodology/approach – A percentage of all middle managers in publicly and privately funded schools (72 per cent and 43 per cent respectively) distributed self‐report questionnaires to their teachers measuring teachers' attitudes, sense of identification and perception of the school climate. The sample consisted of 705 teachers in publicly funded schools and 25 teachers in privately funded schools. Data were analysed through multilevel analysis accounting for the dependency of teachers working within the same teaching unit.Findings – The analyses show that teachers in publicly funded schools report a less curriculum‐oriented attitude, a lower sense of identification, and perceive a less supportive school climate than teachers in privately funded schools. Funding did not have an effect on the extent to which teacher...

  • The Role of Risk Climate and Ethical Self-interest Climate in Predicting Unethical Pro-Organisational Behaviour
    Journal of Business Ethics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Sheedy, Patrick Garcia, Denise Jepsen
    Abstract:

    Unethical pro-Organisational Behaviour (UPB) is an ongoing concern, prompting the need for more nuanced understanding of the workplace environment most likely to inhibit it. This study considers the role of risk climate, sometimes referred to as risk culture, as well as ethical climate, for reducing UPB. The study investigates whether four risk climate factors (avoidance, valued, proactive and manager) can, by focusing on the long-term consequences of UPB to the organisation, and providing guidance on Behavioural norms, reduce UPB misconduct. Surveying employees in three financial institutions we found that only one of the risk climate factors, avoidance, is consistently associated with UPB. On the other hand, a self-interested, (un)ethical climate significantly increases UPB in all samples. In multi-climate analysis, we found that risk climate factors interacted with ethical climate to predict UPB. That is, when employees perceive that the workplace ethos is not self-interested, three factors of risk climate—avoidance, proactive and manager—significantly predict UPB. UPB is least likely when self-interest is low, avoidance risk climate is low, proactive risk climate is high and manager risk climate is high. Implications for leaders are discussed.

  • The Role of Risk Climate and Ethical Self-interest Climate in Predicting Unethical Pro-Organisational Behaviour
    SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Elizabeth Sheedy, Patrick Raymund James M. Garcia, Denise M. Jepsen
    Abstract:

    Risk climate (sometimes referred to as risk culture) has become an increasingly important focus since the 2007-2009 financial crisis. Despite efforts to inculcate risk climate, unethical pro-Organisational Behaviour (UPB) such as misconduct toward customers continues to occur. This study investigates whether four risk climate factors (avoidance, valued, proactive and manager) can, on their own, reduce UPB misconduct. Surveying employees in three financial institutions we found that only one of the risk climate factors (avoidance) was consistently associated with UPB. On the other hand, ethical self-interest climate (ESI) significantly increased UPB in all samples. In multi-climate analysis we found that risk climate factors interacted with ESI climate to predict UPB. That is, when ESI was low, three factors of risk climate – avoidance, proactive and manager – significantly predicted UPB. UPB was least likely when ESI was low, avoidance risk climate was low, proactive risk climate was high and manager risk climate was high. These findings suggest leaders should consider addressing both ESI and risk climate to reduce UPB.
