Managerial styles and the concommitant relationships between managers and other employees can have a significant impact on many aspects of the work situation. In a study of the environments within two automotive supply organizations similar in size and technology but different in formal managerial styles (participative management and modified Scalon Plan vs. traditional unionized organization), employees ' attitudes and behaviors were compared. Overall, results indicated that the rank and file employees' perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors were more favorable in the organization with the more democratic formal managerial style than in the more traditional organization, but there was very little difference in the response of the supervisors between the two environments. The findings suggest that traditional unionized organizations may produce a more stressful work environment for rank and file employees, while democratic management may be more stressful for managers.

Findings of a study that formulated and tested new ways of thinking about teacher absence are presented in this paper, which is based on the premise that teacher absenteeism is a social invention that must be studied within the context of the work site and understood as a function of the social exchange that occurs therein. Prior research has used either the individual or the organization as the primary unit of analysis. This paper suggests that a complementarity exists between these perspectives, indicating a need to better understand how workplace norms are established through social interaction in individual schools. Teacher attendance data for 1989-1990 through 1991-92 were collected from four elementary schools in a western New York school district. Eleven individual/organizational variables were regressed on the frequency of short-term absence. No significant relationships were found. When schools were rank-ordered by attendance, a consistent pattern emerged that suggests the existence of a workplace attendance norm, or "absence culture, " that may negate the effects of individual variables. To explore this further, telephone interviews were conducted with teachers from each of the four schools to identify ways in which schools ' absence cultures differ. A questionnaire has been developed based on the phone interviews to measure cultural components of teacher absenteeism. (Contains 134 references.)

This study on integrating women in the navy analyzed approximately 400 surveys collected by the U.S. Navy Steering Group relevant to Women in Non-Traditional Work Roles, results of a focus group, and a review of the literature. Surveys were sent to various U.S. Navy facilities where female employee responses were solicited and documented. The study analyzed problems reported by these women in their work environments, their coping strategies, and their recommendations for improving their work environments. The study's goals involved identifying validated practices regarding effective cohesive work environments and development of recommended intervention strategies to enhance the acceptance, integration, and utilization of women in the navy. Survey responses were categorized into eight basic areas: (1) super woman mentalities; (2) subduing and de-emphasizing individual femininity; (3) siege mentalities and

With the growing research on deviance, researchers have increasingly identified the two forms of deviance (i.e., positive and negative workplace deviance). In today's competitive environment, organizations must strive to balance these two types of deviance to find their sustainability. Today's cutthroat business environment demands a workplace that encourages employees to be creative and find new ways to work harder and smarter. Ethical leaders play a motivational inspiration for their co-subordinates, allowing them to be positively deviant and try to make processes better and more efficient. But it is not always easy to maintain such a positive environment within the organization as some employees may misuse this freedom and even harm the organization or its people. With the changing generations, today's young mind, (i.e., millennials) consider the positive and healthy competition which boosts their productivity. Thus, managing workplace wellness is part of the sustainable workplace environment.

The purpose of this paper will be to attempt to share on the subject matter regarding bogus and genuine employee empowerment in the business realm by offering comparative features of this paper’s author’s case study with findings from Ciulla (1996) research pertaining to bogus and authentic empowerment, or genuine empowerment for the purpose of this paper. An additional aspect to reveal will be for this paper’s author to offer how his case study firm incorporates genuine empowerment and not that of bogus empowerment, which according to above supporting author’s manuscript, is when a leader promises his or her team self-empowerment to function with a given level of self-accountability and responsibility with minimal governing, then the leader fails to deliver his or her promise by undermining their workers maturity to deliver individual deliverables to their company.

Due to economic crisis a lot of companies are facing financial difficulties and therefore they are saving costs in almost all areas. A large number of them first reduce investments into education, corporate benefits and overall costs of human resources department. At the same time these companies do not realize that their employees represent the most valuable asset, thus they represent the possibility of finding solutions of how to get out of the crisis. With regard to recency and marginalization of that topic in my thesis I deal with work environment issues that directly affect job satisfaction and ultimately productivity and efficiency of employees. In the technical part I grapple with work environment issues, working groups, management styles, communication, motivation and stimulation. In the practical part I have analysed the work environment of the company CMC Graduate School of Business o.p.s. in which I have applied achieved knowledge based on which I have proposed such measures and improvements toward the organization that will lead to increased willingness to work and hence to reduce the staff fluctuation.
