Q2. What are the future works mentioned in the paper "Satisfaction of learning, performance and relatedness needs at work and employees' organizational identification" ?
Future research needs to consider foci of identification as OID is very likely to give different results than other foci of identification ( for e. g., see Das et al., 2008 ; Oldham et al., 1986 ; Ullrich et al., 2007 ). Thus, the authors suggest that future studies may adopt experimental designs as useful extension of this study. Future studies can consider other needs for building a more comprehensive understanding. Also, in a suitable context, it would be interesting to study the differential effect of existence, growth, and relatedness need satisfaction on OID.
Q3. What are the main types of needs that can be considered as existence needs?
Needs such as physiological needs (Maslow, 1943), safety needs (Maslow, 1943), predictability and order needs (Hogan and Warremfeltz, 2003), and need for control (Williams, 1997) can be broadly considered as existence needs.
Q4. What is the importance of treating all individuals equally?
Sensitizing people, especially managers, to treat all individuals equally and provide a discrimination free work environment, is very important for satisfying relatedness needs of individuals.
Q5. What is the importance of the extraction of status-related cues?
The extraction of status-related cues is central to the identification process (Pratt, 1998).rning is high, one is more likely to focuson the acquisition of knowledge and the perfecting of competence.
Q6. What are the main types of needs that can be considered as relatedness needs?
Needs such as belongingness needs (Maslow, 1943; Williams, 1997; Vignoles et al., 2006), need for affiliation (McClelland et al., 1953; Atkinson and Raynor, 1974), and need for acceptance and approval (Hogan and Warremfeltz, 2003) can be broadly considered as relatedness needs.
Q7. What is the reason why the paths from LNS and PNS to OID were insignificant?
The insignificant paths from LNS and PNS to OID despite high correlations amongthem could be attributed to the high covariance between the three need factors.
Q8. What is the effect of competition for limited resources on OID?
Competition for limited resources could provide a powerful stimulus to forminginterpersonal connections (Baumeister and Leary, 1995).
Q9. What is the possibility of a second order factor in the model?
As LNS and PNS measures were based on the Goal Orientation Instrument (VandeWalle, 1997) in which these two needs are treated as first order factors of the overall goal orientation construct, the authors checked for the possibility of a second order factor in their model.
Q10. What is the effect of growth need satisfaction on OID?
In view of the literature wherein goal orientation has been represented by dimensions of learning and performance orientations (Dweck, 1986), when second order factor (growth need satisfaction) of LNS and PNS was specified, the overall effect of growth need satisfaction became salient along with RNS.
Q11. What were the indicators used to assess fit to the data?
Model fit was assessed using indicators, like overall model chi-10square measure, Non-Normed Fit Index (NNFI), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) (Hooper, Coughlan, and Mullen, 2008 less than 0.08; CFI greater than 0.95; SRMR less than 0.08; and NNFI greater than 0.95 were taken as acceptable threshold levels (Hooper et al., 2008; Kline, 2005).
Q12. What are the main types of needs that can be considered as growth needs?
esteem needs (Maslow, 1943; Williams, 1997; Vignoles et al., 2006), need for achievement (McClelland et al., 1953; Atkinson and Raynor, 1974), efficacy needs (Vignoles et al., 2006), and distinctiveness needs (Vignoles et al., 2006) can be broadly considered as growth needs.
Q13. What are the main characteristics of growth needs?
For this study, among various types of growth needs, the authors considered satisfaction of learning needs and satisfaction of performance needs as representatives of satisfaction of growth needs.
