Organizational Perceptions And Their Relationships To Job Attitudes Effort, Performance And Organizational Citizenship Behaviors, Keith Douglas Mccook

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This study integrates and expands two models of organizational support perceptions, job attitudes, effort, and employee behavior (i.e., Brown & Leigh, 1996; Netemeyer, Boles, McKee, & McMurrian, 1997).

Employee – supervisor dyads were surveyed (n = 279), and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized model and several alternative models. Results indicated that the hypothesized …
