Assessing organizational commitment

Mowday, Porter, and Steers (1982) offered a definition of organizational commitment which has three components: (a) a strong belief in and acceptance of organizational goals and values, (b) a willingness to exert considerable effort on behalf of the organization, and (c) a strong desire to maintain membership in the organization. Research on organizational commitment has been examined primarily in relation to turnover (Ferris & Aranya, 1983; Hom, Katerberg, & Hulin, 1979; Huselid & Day, 1991; Mowday, Steers, & Porter, 1979; O'Reilly & Caldwell, 1980; Steers, 1977; Stumpf & Hartman, 1984; Wiener & Vardi, 1980). Other research has established a relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions (Angle & Perry, 1981; Bedeian & Armenakis, 1981) and organizational commitment and job performance (Meyer, Paunonen, Gellatly, Goffin, & Jackson, 1989). Individuals who are committed to the organization are less likely to leave their jobs than those who are uncommitted (Porter, Steers, Mowday, & Boulian, 1974). Individuals who are committed to the organization tend to perform at a higher level and also tend to stay with the organization, thus decreasing turnover and increasing organizational effectiveness. As this nation's schools face a shortage of vocational teachers, more research on organizational commitment is required.

Porter, Crampon, and Smith (1976) investigated the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover. Using a 15 month longitudinal design with a sample of managerial trainees in a large merchandising company, they found that trainees who voluntarily left the company during the initial 15 month employment period had begun to show a definite decline in commitment prior to termination.

Psychoinformatics in management

 Psychoinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that combines psychology and informatics to study and analyze psychological phenomena through the use of computational tools and methods. It involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of large-scale psychological data using techniques from data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. The goal of psychoinformatics is to gain deeper insights into human behavior, cognition, and emotions, often leveraging big data from various sources like social media, mobile devices, and wearable technology. This field aims to enhance understanding of psychological processes and improve applications in areas such as mental health, education, and human-computer interaction.

Symposium on Mental health care insurance (24th Feb, 2014)

Importance of Mental health care insurance D. Dutta Roy ISI., Kolkata Number of new policies in health insurance is growing after privatization. It mainly covers general health insurance rather mental health care insurance (MHCI) though World Health Organization predicted 20% growth of mental illness in India. There is no systematic study on insurance needs of the beneficiaries. As a result, many mentally ill people are under-insured or non-insured. This  causes difficulty to provide adequate mental health care through systematic insurance policies and schemes. On the other hand they are stigmatized by the society and sometimes they are abused. Abuse aggravates the severity of the symptoms.   Mental health care system in India is plagued with lot of stigma still now. Major stigma is collective unwillingness of society to provide adequate financial assistance to the mentally ill people. Again, this causes serious sufferings on family members of the mentally ill. One good family is
