First of all, this study focuses on measurements to enhance organizational commitment by analysing the effect of police officer’s leadership, participation and decentralization and among them. Independent variables of this study are police officer’s leadership, participation and decentralization, and dependent variables is organizational commitment. Futhermore, mediating effect of inherent innovative culture is analysed.
In the empirical analysis research, based on the theoretical background shown in literature studies, the correlation between the patterns of influence by direct superiors within police officer’s leadership, participation and decentralization, organizational commitment were compared and analyzed. Also, in order to achieve the research’s objectives and raise the questionnaire’s validity and reliability, a pilot study was performed targeting at 50 police officers. To examine this, 315 police officers were asked to complete the questionnaires pertaining to the areas of leadership, participation and decentralization, organizational commitment. The correlation analysis and analysis of mediating effects were conducted on the data.
Frequency analysis was performed in order to calculate the number of persons per socio-demographic characteristics, descriptive analysis was performed in order to obtain the average and standard deviation of key variables, Cronbach’s α value was calculated through the reality analysis to test the reliability of measuring tools, and confirmatory factor analysis was performed for each scale to test the inspecting tool’s feasibility.
This study provides some further research proposals as follows ;
First, the variable of demographic is positively or negatively related to the leadership, participation and decentralization, organizational commitment. Therefore, the variable of demographic is very important factor on the leadership, participation and decentralization, and the organizational commitment. To improve the organization commitment, it will be developed harmoniously leadership, participation and decentralization.
