... Abstract Employee commitment is an active way of improving the organizational satisfaction. In this article employee satisfaction is viewed as an independent variable while employee commitment acts as the independent variable, a moderating variable is taken to be employee performance. The sample for the study comes from various public and private organizations of cities such as Lahore, Karachi, and Faisalabad. Data collection is through close- ended questionnaires and analysis done through Statistical Package for Social Sciences by using descriptive statistics, as well as the t-test. The results describe a moderate interdependence between the variables. Satisfaction Studies in the past reveal a two-way relationship between job performance and employee satisfaction while modern and recent studies indicate a unidirectional relationship with regards to employee satisfaction that improves job performance yet weak relations occurs upon analysis of job satisfaction as a basis for job satisfaction. It follows that employee’s satisfaction and performance in work place has a direct relationship, in much simpler terms, job performance is as an impact of job satisfaction according to (Kaiser and Ringlstetter 2011). .

Adams: World English Dictionary: not submissive to authority; disobedient or rebellious This written warning is being issued to you for violating our company policy on insubordination as stated in our company employee handbook. Specifically, on May 27, 2011, at approximately 9:35 am you refused to take direction from your supervisor when they directed you to shut down the conveyor belt you were working on and move to the loading dock to help with unloading a delivery. Although you finally did follow their direction it wasn't until they made three separate requests to do so. Mr. Adams, it is important that you follow your supervisors direction at all times. The only exception to this would be if you were directed to perform a task that was unethical, illegal, or unsafe. In the future if you fail to follow any company policy you will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including possible termination. Sincerely, Robert R. Smith Supervisor John E.

And, whether your company is in California or another state, if the company provides more generous terms through an oral or written contract, a collective bargaining agreement, or company policy, the company must comply with those terms. RELATED INFO/FORMS: Note: This document applies to all employees, whether exempt, non-exempt, full-time, part-time, temporary, new, or regular.1 GENERAL RULE ON PAY AND BENEFITS DURING LEAVE Employers must give employees time off from work for a variety of reasons (such as for jury duty and workers' comp injuries).

This issue is a control issue therefore the company hand book needs to be updated with a section to handle these issues, also inform employees of the do’s and don’ts to prevent another situation like this. Control systems detect and correct significant variations, or discrepancies, in the results of planned activities (Bateman and Snell 2013). For Dalman and Lei to build and effective control system they need to follow the 4 step of building a control system, the first step is “setting performance standards”. They already have a performance standard which is the handbook that they created with the first location they had goals they just need to update those goals. The books needs to be modified, Lei would have to set quality goals in this situation, she is trying to build structure within the company, for example they can state that an employee has to work a certain amount of hours each week, those hours need to be reported with evidence of being facts.

Personnel Policy Manual Template CTION Module 1 - p 1 1. INTRODUCTION Many business owners prepare a business plan before starting their business. However, small business owners often do not include human resource planning as part of their over-all business plan. They may start out with only a few employees or none at all. Over time, it is important to properly forecast employment needs. Just as failing to address potential threats in the marketplace can jeopardize the viability of your business, failing to anticipate personnel needs can impact on overall business success. The success of a business is directly linked to the performance of those who work for that business. Underachievement can be a result of workplace failures. Because hiring the wrong people or failing to anticipate fluctuations in hiring needs can be costly, it is important that you put effort into human resource planning. Planning for HR needs will help to ensure your employees have the skills and competencies your business needs to succeed...
