Achievement Motive

Abstract. Explicit motives are well-studied in the field of personality and motivation psychology. However, the statistical overlap of different explicit motive measures is only moderate. As a consequence, the Unified Motive Scales (UMS; Schönbrodt & Gerstenberg, 2012 ) were developed to improve the measurement of explicit motives. The present longitudinal field study examined the predictive validity of the UMS achievement motive subscale. Applicants of a police department ( n = 168, Mage = 25.11, 53 females and 115 males) completed the UMS and their performance in the selection process was assessed. As expected, UMS achievement predicted success in the selection process. The findings provide first evidence for the predictive validity of UMS achievement in an applied setting.

This chapter examines how the Chicago Police Department evolved into a professional police organization based on the ideology of paternalism. The election of Thomas Dyer as mayor in 1856 started a five-year period of contestation over the basic shape of the new police force. On the surface, this fight pitted law-and-order Republicans against Democratic supporters of immigrants and looser law enforcement. But party politics tells only a fraction of the story. The underlying dispute was between two conflicting visions of the police, each of which had supporters particularly within the Republican Party. Some members of both parties, most notably Dyer, a Democratic, and Republican Mayor John Wentworth, sought to fit the police into the older paternalistic method of keeping order. This chapter considers how the Chicago police came to occupy a central place in city machine politics and discusses Wentworth's organizational police policies that were consistent with his broader paternalistic vision of the institution. It also describes the police's daily activity between 1855 and 1862, including dealing with the problems arising from the Civil War.

In general definition, organizational commitment is an indicator of affiliation level of workers in an organization. Self respect is related with how individuals see themselves. Both organizational commitment and self respect are cognitive properties of individuals. For this reason there may be a relation between organizational commitment and self respect. Thus, relationship between organizational commitment and self respect for domestic security personnel were evaluated in this research.In the research, (n=422) law enforcement agency personnel working at Izmir City police department in 2015 year were subjected to survey including organizational commitment and self respect scales.According to results of the study, harmony factor among organizational commitment factors has significant difference between gender groups (p<0,05), whereas other organizational commitment factors did not showed statistically significant difference based on demographic properties (p>0,05). Correlation analysis results did not indicate a statistically significant relation between organizational commitment and self respect (p>0,05). ÖzetÖrgütsel bağlılık, en genel tanımıyla bir örgüt içerisindeki çalışanların, kendilerini o örgüte ne derece ait hissettiklerinin bir göstergesidir. Benlik saygısı ise bireylerin kendi kişiliklerini nasıl gördükleri ile ilişkilidir. Gerek örgütsel bağlılık, gerekse benlik saygısı bireylerin bilişsel özellikleridir. Bu nedenle benlik saygısı ile örgütsel bağlılık arasında ilişki olabilir. Bundan dolayı bu araştırmada, iç güvenlik hizmetleri personelinin örgütsel bağlılık ile benlik saygısı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, 2015 yılında İzmir İl Emniyet Müdürlüğü bünyesinde görev yapan (n=422) personel üzerinde algılanan örgütsel bağlılık ve benlik saygısı ölçekleri uygulanmıştır.Araştırma sonuçlarına göre katılımcıların örgütsel bağlılık boyutlarından uyum boyutu cinsiyete göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermekteyken (p<0,05), diğer örgütsel bağlılık boyutlarının gruplar arasındaki fark analizi sonuçları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir (p>0,05). Benlik saygısı puanı da yine katılımcıların demografik özelliklerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark göstermemektedir (p>0,05). Korelasyon analizi sonuçları, benlik saygısı ile örgütsel bağlılık arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişkiye işaret etmemektedir (p>0,05).

Abstract. This study uses implicit voice theory to examine the influence of employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation on employees’ voice behavior via voice efficacy. The results of a pretest of 302 employees using critical thinking questionnaires and a field study of 273 dyads of supervisors and their subordinates revealed that both employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation had a positive effect on employees’ voice and that voice efficacy mediates the relationships among employees’ critical thinking, leaders’ inspirational motivation, and employees’ voice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
