Relationship
among organizational commitment, self-efficacy and perceived psychological
barriers to technological change was studied in a sample of 167 male
managers selected from Tata Engineering and Locomotive company, Jamshedpur,
Jharkhand, India. Organizational Commitment Scale developed by Allen
and Meyer (1990), Generalized Perceived Self-efficacy Scale by Schwarzer
and Jerusalem (1995), Questionnaire to measure Psychological Barriers
to Technological Change by Ghani and Sugumar (1999) were the tools.
Results revealed that organizational commitment is positively related
with age, length of service in present cadre and self-efficacy and
negatively with psychological barriers to technological change. Psychological
barriers to technological change were found to be positively related
with age, length of service in present cadre and negatively with
self-efficacy. Negative correlation coefficients were found between
self-efficacy and age and also between self-efficacy and length of
service in present cadre. Multiple regression analysis was done to
see the relative contribution of different variables. Key words: organizational commitment, self-efficacy, technological change |
