The Relationship of Coalition on Employee Spiritual Engagement: Interplay of Organisational Politics

Abstract

The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement. The research was quantitative, and data was administered and retrieved from employees at the selected private radio firms. Content validity was utilised to ascertain the validity of the instrument, and the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Kendall's tau_b correlation was used to shows the result of the bivariate relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement (p > 0.05); hence, we accepted the null hypothesis. To know how much variance in employee spiritual engagement can be clarified by coalition, a simple linear regression was performed; with a result of 0.1(percent), it was evidenced that coalition had no effect on employee spiritual engagement. The finding of the study showed that there is no statistical relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement. The result of this study also bears practical implications; executives should understand that organisations cannot achieve a zero-level coalition activity. Although this behaviour via the results does not possess a statistical relationship, executives should articulate its optimized use within acceptable terms.

An Examination of Nepotism Perceptions within Ugandan Family-Owned Enterprises

“…These specific businesses were strategically chosen due to their inclusion of non-family employees, allowing for a broader and more representative sample compared to solely family-run establishments. Data collection primarily relied on a self-administered questionnaire, meticulously developed based on a comprehensive review of relevant literature (Chukwuma et al, 2019;Padgett et al, 2015). The questionnaire comprised two distinct sections:…”
