| Popis: | 101 Nowadays money has a significant role in human being''s daily life, and employee seeking for jobs is mainly for possessing of more money. Even though money has existed more than four thousand years in civilization history, this issue only gains equivalent attention in recent years. This new arising topic yet discusses thoroughly how money attitude influence behaviors and leaves much unclarified space for further theoretical development. The research findings on criteria-validity were still inconsistent, and the utility of applied situations was also not clear. Thus, this study is based on Self-Sufficiency Theory, and through individual difference perspective, it intends to investigate the relationship between employees'' performances and their attitude toward money; because employee’s performance is believed to be the most related to money in organization. Moreover, by classifying performance to in-role performance and extra-role performance, this study was enabled to find the differences between these two. Adopting hierarchical regression analysis, and analyzing 386 supervisor-subordinate dyads showed that: employee’s money attitude was negatively related to in-role performance and extra-role performance. The moderating effect of personal (idiocentrism) and situational (perceived corporate ethical values, CEV) factor on these relationships indicated that: when idiocentrism was high, the negative relationship between money attitude and extra-role performance (identification with company) were strengthened; when CEV was high, the negative relationship between money attitude and extra-role performance (altruism toward colleagues) were weakened. Furthermore, there is a three-way interactions effect among money attitude, idiocentrism and CEV on both in-role performance and extra-role performance (conscientiousness). Finally, the contributions of the findings, implications, limitations, and future research diractions were discussed. |
