They have become the attractive subjects for mostly researched-papers due mainly to their vital roles to the development of an organization.
Four studies have been done to demonstrate the interactions and relationships among those factors. Initially, the author begin with meeting effectiveness. Apparently, much time and effort are devoted to meetings aiming at information sharing, decision making, and problem solving because they are the primary communicative practice in every organization in order to fulfill the vital consensus, make changes and exchange ideas. From those benefits, it encourages the author to find out how internal communication, agenda and leadership power affect meeting effectiveness, especially in Vietnamese organizations.
The first findings reveal that leadership and substantive conflict affect meeting effectiveness (see Figure | in Chapter 2). After the process of this study, the author next explores the impact of the mediating role of job satisfaction on the relationship between meeting effectiveness and organizational commitment, which enable to increase more employees’ commitment to an organization. This research aims to show the findings of whether leadership has a positive effect on meeting effectiveness, how meeting effectiveness affects organizational commitment and to which extent job satisfaction impacts the relationship between meeting effectiveness and organizational commitment. The findings show that leadership positively affects meeting effectiveness and job satisfaction has a positive influence on the relationship between meeting effectiveness and organizational commitment (see Figure 2 in Chapter 3).
Last but not least, the author continues investigating how to boost organizational commitment and what antecedents that strongly affect organizational commitment. Two 17 studies have been conducted for this highly-expected purpose. While the former is about the six main concepts including internal motivation, external motivation, employee voice, organizational identification and perceived organization support, the latter is about internal communication, leadership, internal motivation, external motivation and organizational commitment. From the analyzed results of these two studies, they demonstrate that leadership, organizational identification, perceived organizational support, internal communication, internal motivation and external motivation positively influence organizational commitment (see Figures 3 and 4 in Chapter 4).
The data sample is collected by the survey of two hundred and forty-nine fulltime Vietnamese employees who are working at about 34 Vietnamese organizations from a variety of sectors such as tax, banking, health service, airlines, education and business with Five-point Likert scale. The findings show that three main antecedents affecting meeting effectiveness are leadership, agenda and internal communication. Moreover, there is the impact of job satisfaction as a mediator of the effects of meeting effectiveness on organization commitment. Besides that, six prominent factors positively affecting organizational commitment are internal motivation, external motivation, organizational identification, perceived organizational support, leadership and internal communication.
The dissertation’s findings suggest that meeting organizers or leaders should strengthen the quality of meetings more effectively and efficiently by improving their leadership styles and ensuring a fair fit with their organizational culture. Furthermore, two considerations of agenda and internal communication should be clear, effective and in harmony. This would facilitate an inspire engagement between subordinates and organizations. Furthermore, job satisfaction needs to be accorded priority.
Most problems or conflicts occurring during work exchanges should be comprehensively and sufficiently resolved, especially in face-to-face meetings. It is obvious that whenever subordinates feel satisfied with their jobs, they express a strong desire to maintain membership in and commitment to their organizations. Finally, to increase more commitment from loyal organizational members, besides leadership and internal communication as mentioned above, internal motivation, external motivation, 18 organizational identification and perceived organizational support also need to be highly concerned. From the perspective of human resource management, when recruiting and developing personnel, leadership teams should be carefully considered and designated as they will be the ones in charge of employee development and closely direct their subordinates in every act and strategy that they implement at work.
The findings can also be useful for managers and organizational analysts as reference in seeking ways to increase employee retention, performance, commitment and the optimal purpose of achieving better profitable benefits, based on these internal resources.1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND Over the past few years, the advent of the fourth industrial revolution in information and communication technologies has been increasing competition with business. This significant change in business ecosystems will profoundly influence several internal facets in an organization or company such as operational regulations, management strategies and so forth for adapting and integrating with new challenges. Effectively integrated strategies surely facilitate an organization for a sustainable development in the current and future circumstances. Especially, the main focus is a pillar related to human resource management.
