This study aims to analyze the determinants of organizational effectiveness focused on the comparison analysis by Blau and Scott's organizational type : mutual-benefit associations, business concerns, service organizations, commonweal organizations. From this perspective, in order to analyze the determinants of organizational effectiveness we have selected welfare system factor and organizational management factor, organizational structure factor.
We would like to verify whether the determinants of organizational effectiveness have the differences among four organizational-types categorized by prime beneficiary, such as mutual-benefits associations, business concerns, service organization, commonweal organization. In order to attain these research objectives, we established research model and a hypothesis based on extensive analysis of documentary records regarding organizational effectiveness.
A summary of the results from these analyses of the research is as follows. First, in order to understand the determinants of organizational effectiveness before testing the hypothesis, we performed a relatively detailed population statistical analysis on 26 agencies chosen as a sample. And in order to establish hypothesis, we selected fourteen independent variables and one dependent variables based on documentary records. Fourteen independent variables are such variables as pay, piece rate(payment by the result system), promotion system, chief executive officer's principle which respects innovation, and chief executive officer's principle which respects performance and output, informal group, decision-making, communication, conflict-management, shinbaram culture, specialization, complexity, formalization, centralization.
Dependent variable is organizational effectiveness. Organizational effectiveness was evaluated by the level of overall goal achievement and by the level of goal achievement against input costs
The result of regression analysis for overall respondents revealed that three variables, such as pay, piece rate, promotion system, had not significant effect on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%. As for organizational management factor, three variables, such as chief executive officer's principle which respects innovation, decision-making, conflict management, had positive effects on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%. As for organizational structure factor, four variables, such as specialization, formalization, centralization, complexity, had positive effects on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%.
Second, to verify hypothesis in four organizational types, a multiple regression analysis was performed. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that pay had no positive effect on organizational effectiveness in three organizational types, such as business concerns, service organization, commonweal organization, in the significant level of 5%. In mutual-benefit associations, four variables, such as pay, shinbaram culture, communication, chief executive officer's principle which respects innovation, had positive effects on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%. In business concerns, three variables, such as specialization, complexity, formalization, had significant effects on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%. In service organization, three variables, such as chief executive officer's principle which respects innovation, conflict-management, specialization, had significant effects on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%. In commonweal organization, two variables, such as decision making, formalization, had significant effects on organizational effectiveness in the significant level of 5%.
