Effects of Corporate-Managerial Behaviours on Employee Motivation and Organizational Commitment: A Study on Barter Firm

The main goals of the firms are to gain revenue, keep their activities continued, and grow, respectively. To realize their goals, the firms are supervised within the scope of the legal regulations by the owners and/or professional managers. The managerial styles and techniques suitable for the firm’s goals have significant impacts on its corporate’s successes such as its sustainability, growth, employee motivation, and strengthening organizational commitment. The types of corporate-managerial behaviors have important effects on employee motivation and organizational commitment. Depending on this fact, challenging managerial styles in the firms would obviously trigger the performance of employee- and corporate’s performance. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of corporate-managerial behaviors on employee motivation and organization commitment in a barter firm empirically. Because, it is believed that increased employee motivation and organizational commitment by the corporate-management significantly add value to the corporate’s productivity and performance in both short and long terms. Based on these facts, this study would make a significant contribution the academic literature. Overall, the first part of this study introduces a solid theoretical knowledge on the management, managerial concept and its definition, and managerial styles. The second part, however, presents motivation, its definition and importance as well as motivation processes and some basic motivation-related concepts.
