“…Researchers have performed extensive research on interpersonal support, organizational conflicts, and collaborative behaviors. Results of these research studies have supported the benefits of research on organizational climate [2,3,4]. Other research studies have found that organizational climate exerts a regulatory force and provides a common social context for the organizational members [5,6,7].…”

This study formulated a hierarchical linear model (HLM) at the individual level whether organizational climate of the employee would affect organizational commitment positively, whether organizational commitment would affect work satisfaction positively, and whether organizational commitment has an intervening effect between organizational climate and work satisfaction. Additionally, this study found at the group level that organizational climate exerted contextual effects on work satisfaction. Finally, several recommendations and directions were provided for future academic research and applications for shipping industries.

“…They feel themselves to be extensions of the library organization, performing routine tasks that make them passive, neutral and dependent on others. Argyris (1973) identifies this äs a pathological condition of an organizational system in which an individual has little control over his daily working environment This lack of control leads to a passive, dependent and demoralized work force. Further, Argyris concludes that these pathological conditions arise äs a direct result of working in formal organizations and environment.…”

“…Anastasi, 1976), and more so with non-cognitive ones. Because implied causal relations between job experience and the person's affective modalities usually rely on cro'ss-sectional studies (Argyris, 1973;Kohn & Schooler, 1973;Wanous, 1974;Brousseau, 1978), their directionalities are speculative at best.…”

Continuous self‐selection processes in teacher education: the way for survival1

In 1977 more than 2500 Israeli student-teacher applicants were tested on a variety of cognitive and affective measures. Based on multivariate analytical techniques, the results showed three selection phases: 1. Self-selection by the potential teacher for the vocation, characterized by a conservative modal personality. 2. Admission by the teacher-training program, when the more able students are accepted. 3. Election, once admitted, to undergo the course of instruction. This phase cancels cognitive ability differences apparent in the admission phase; and elevates personality traits of a conforming and a conservative type, as the most discriminatory modality between future teachers and those who elected not to become teachers. The findings are discussed in terms of a type-placement model.This study investigates the possibility of a type-placement model (Cattell & Klein, 1977), which concentrates on the question: 'Does individual A belong to type X?' In the context of the teaching profession the question is: 'In what ways do the individuals available for selection resemble each other?' and whether such a resemblance is intentional, or can be detected from selection procedures. The major argument of this paper is that regardless of efforts in selecting student teachers on the basis of ability tests, the end result is a perpetuation of a unique occupational group, characterized by specific personality attributes.This perpetuation is achieved through five consecutive phases of selection.
