Thesis (MA) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2000.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The underlying problem that prompted this study was to determine whether a relationship existed between organisational culture and organisational performance within a South African organisation. The research problem, furthermore, not only focused on establishing a relationship between aspects of organisational culture and performance, but also on whether variations in the perception of organisational culture are related to organisational performance, i.e. whether the degree to which the organisational culture is wides

Bibliography: p. 213-220.<br>Organization science is not a new discipline. However, it persistently attracts many researchers to explore new concepts for coping with the increasing complexity in our society. The exploration is in transition, from mechanistic doctrine to systemic and humanistic notions. The mechanistic view is still prevailing and playing a dominant role, but, owing to its increasing critics, appeals for renovation of mechanistic principle incessantly arise. The tendency induces diversified approaches for intervening in the situation of bureaucratic context. This research inves

Abstract:

The purpose of this research study is to examine the relationship between Quality management (QM) practices deployed as part of a broader management approach and organisational performance in a financial services industry. Quality management as an organisational performance improvement tool or approach has been in practice since the late 1980's following the decline in the American manufacturing industry and competitive position compared to the Japanese. Quality management practices have increasingly become an approach used by firms for gaining competitive advantage in an environment where the

Over the last 20 years there has been a growth in the relative importance of personnel economics as an area of economics. However, due to a lack of suitable data most of the work in this area has been largely theoretical. It is only in the past decade that there has been a growth in the availability of firm-based data sets, making it possible for researchers to begin to test some of these ideas empirically. This thesis analyses data from a rich source of monthly personnel and payroll records from a large banking sector firm. The data is confined to the organisation's U. K operations and is ava

Total Quality Management (TQM) is sometimes considered as a management system in continuous change and consisting of values, methodologies and tools, the aim of which is to increase external and internal customer satisfaction with a reduced amount of resources. Whether TQM improves the performance of companies has been discussed for several years. One way to work with TQM and its values, methodologies and tools is to apply for and work with a quality award. Today, there are international, national, regional, branch-wise and in-company quality awards. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate w

Abstract:

Organisational learning is seen by many to be a key determinant of organisational performance. This is demonstrated by the growth of the 'learning company' concept (Pedler et al. 1991), and by the suggestion that the ability to learn faster than one's competitors is the only sustainable competitive advantage (DeGeus 1988). Consequently, organisations need to integrate and maximise the knowledge and learning of their individuals, and central to the learning process in firms is an effective means of transferring knowledge and learning between individuals and their organisation as a whole.

For long, many organisations have incurred huge expenditure on continuing professional development (CPD).

Consequently, expenditure on CPD is beginning to be queried, and could be slashed if evidence is not produced. In health, this would undermine quality of care, increase morbidity and mortality and reduce productivity and quality of life.

Work engagement is a desirable attribute of employees that organisations must attempt to foster and enhance. Engaged employees are focused and fully immersed in their tasks, resilient to high levels of job demands, and experience a sense of pride and meaningfulness within their work. Therefore, it is important that organisations understand the mechanisms that enhance work engagement, particularly whether and how its HRM systems contribute to levels of engagement.

Organisational learning has been advocated as a key enabler of organisational performance improvement. However, despite over half a century of research, such claims attributed to organisational learning cannot be adequately verified.

It has been proposed that the organisational learning concept may outlive its usefulness unless these anxieties are addressed.

Under RPE rewards for managers and executives are set upon their performance compared to that of their peers.

Abstract:

Organisations seek methods to maximise performance in order to be successful. The purpose of this study was to examine and empirically quantify the drivers of organisational energy in relation to driving organisational performance. Organisational energy can be seen as the power source that ignites all aspects of organisational climate and behaviour. Most importantly, this study sought to develop the existing theory further and to operationalise the variables for organisations.A quantitative analysis was conducted on data collected from 292 knowledge workers across a wide range of industries.

Abstract:

This research is undertaken in response to the need to offer fresh insights to the number of models of organisational bureaucracy. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the bureaucratic factors related to governmental organisations that may influence their performance. Through conceptual and empirical research, several key factors have been identified which link organisational performance to social responsibility, job satisfaction, motivation, and decision quality. To support this research, Hofstede’s cultural dimensions were used in connection with the performance dimensions and the burea

Abstract:

Organisations today, regardless of their function, exist in an environment that is characterised by change. In order to maintain a competitive advantage it is vital that organisations manage such change and are sensitive to their human resource. It is imperative for organisations to understand and explore the factors that impact on employee satisfaction and overall organisational performance. The hospitality industry is an industry that is notorious for low levels of pay and long working hours, and often dissatisfied employees. This research focused on a hotel, that is part of an international

Abstract:

The research, informed by the knowledge based view of the firm, explores the relation between pre-acquisition alliances between acquirer and target and post-acquisition innovation performance. Pre-acquisition alliances are a rare event and the work draws on an original dataset, incorporating financial, mergers and acquisitions, patents, and business news databases. The sample consists of 269 high technology M&As with pre-acquisition alliances, which is then compared with a matched sample of acquisitions without prior alliances. The research adopts ‘doubly robust’ matching and average treatment

Abstract:

Research studies on innovation tend to focus more on Process and Product Innovations (PPIs), while both Organisational and Marketing Innovations (OMIs) have been under-researched. The lack of prior research on these non-technological innovations has been attributed to poor data availability. Theoretical opinions show that OMIs could be necessary prerequisites needed to optimally utilise and deploy these PPIs. Organisational Ambidexterity (OA) has emerged to be crucial in achieving long-term organisational success. Ambidexterity in an organisational context refers to the ability to concurrently
