In this study with regard to employees' personality types, namely, extroverts and introverts based on Jung's typology Model, it is targeted to demonstrate which group has more congruencies to the features of telecommuting to experience less burnout result from the qualities of this type of workplace. Besides, the model of this study is inspired by person-environment fit theory. The samples were 86 females and 130 males from Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour and Social Welfare of Iran. The teleworking burnout and personality questionnaires with 28 statements for gathering data; in addition, SPSS 16 and Lisrel 8.8 for descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. From given data, it was obvious there was a correlation between extraversion and burnout with correlation rate of 0.55, whereas introversion had zero effect on burnout with correlation rate of -0.13. It can be concluded introverted employees can face stresses resulting from telecommunication more easily than extroverted ones regarding differences between these two characteristics.Keywords

The aim of the present work is to study the subscales of motivation namely expectancy, performance and rewards on the base of Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation. This study assumes there is a causal relationship between expectancy, performance, and rewards as the subscales of motivation. Then, the expectancy motivation questionnaire is formed and distributed among 90 IT developers in 90 IT companies in Pune-India. The findings show there is a collinearity of the subscales of motivation (expectancy, performance, and rewards). Further, respondents mostly value training program among the reward categories assigned to IT developers (i.e. monetary, training and family facilities and emotional encouragement). It assumes that due to constant technological changes needing updated knowledge and skills, they prefer to improve their job abilities through training programs to increase their human capital to be upgraded for further job opportunities. Thus, their expectancy toward their abilities of fulfilling tasks would increase leading to the repeat of the motivation cycle. Shortly, the results illustrate a misfit model due to the collinearity of the subscales in this study. However, expectancy shows a positive effect on rewards, performance shows an inverse effect on rewards. On the other hand, the findings show IT developers prefer training program rather than other reward categories to increase their expectation toward job performance to accomplish the tasks satisfactorily. Then according to well-done performance, IT developers would value the rewards assigned to them.Keywords

The present work aims to examine the effect of collective-work approach on creativity for improving leadership qualities in an unstructured decision-making process especially in uncertainty of IT sections. Perusing related studies surrounding the current issue, it is realized managers can involve team setting policy in developing options stage of a non-programmed decision-making process since the secondary data indicate collective work can elevate creativity sources. Besides, creativity is considered as a moderator for reinforcing leadership attributes. While these qualities enhance leadership performance enabling managers to detect the optimum options when they encounter organizational chaos. Accordingly, a model of an unstructured decisionmaking process is hypothesized in which team-setting is considered as a predictor variable for increasing creativity sources which are recognized as moderators. Then, leadership qualities crenellated by creativity are recognized as a criterion variable for promoting leadership performance. So, the primary data are collected through 38-statements questionnaires involving collective work, creativity and leadership qualities from 86 IT managers in Pune-India being ready to approach collective work policy in their unstructured decision-making. Through correlation, regression analysis and Durbin-Watson test, it is found there is a positive relationship between the variables. The tests between-subjects effects and SEM show the predictor variables have significant interaction with the criterion variables. Besides, ANOVA illustrates there is a significant difference between the means of predictors of this study. It would be concluded team setting approach can enhance creativity to moderate the leadership qualities for an effective unstructured decision-making process.Keywords
