Interpersonal Styles and Organizational Attachments: Gender Differences
Keywords:
Interpersonal styles, organizational commitment, organizational entrenchment, organizational compliance.Abstract
This research investigated relations between personality traits and types of worker’s attachment to the organization. The growing number of studies in the field suggests that personal inclinations to gregarious and cooperative behavior in the workplace have influence on commitment attitudes. This influence seems to have gender related variations. In this sense, the interpersonal styles were evaluated, defined as the individual strategies to conquer social belonging and status. The categories of employee-organization attachment were affective commitment, organizational entrenchment and compliance. A sample of 185 workers with ages ranging from 21 to 62, 74 men and 111 women, answered the ESEI Inventory (Interpersonal Style Scales) and measures of organizational attachment. The correlations were analyzed for each sex. The results showed sex related differences in the constitution of employee-organization attachments and suggests that research about these differences is a promising direction for advances in the field.Downloads
