    Leadership Matters? The Moderating Effects of Perceived Transactional and Transformational Leaderships on Career Plateau and Organizational Commitment in Belize
    (2017) 古瑞希; Delsie Loreni Ku
    The organizational structure and workplace environment is continuously changing and adapting. As a result, career plateau is more salient in the workplace, resulting in consequences such as reduced organizational commitment and challenges to management. Numerous researches on career plateau have supported the theory that a plateaued employee is harmful to the organization’s success, but few focus on the effects of career plateau in developing countries. Likewise, there is limited focus on how leadership can influence the outcome of organizational commitment in plateaued employees. This study sought to confirm the relationship between career plateau and organizational commitment, with a focus in the moderating roles of transactional and transformational leaderships, particularly in the context of Belize. Data collected, using an online questionnaire, from 247 full-time employed Belizeans, with at least one year tenure with their organization was analyzed. The linear and hierarchical regression analyses were used to confirm the negative correlation between plateaued employees and their affective and normative commitments, and a positive correlation to their continuance commitment. As well, the moderating effects of transactional and transformational leaderships on this relationship were analyzed. The findings show that plateaued employees display reduced affective commitment to the organization, and transactional leadership behaviors strengthen this negative relationship. The results also show that plateaued employees display reduced normative commitment to the organization; however, transformational leadership moderates this negative relationship. What's more, the results also showed that plateaued employees display higher continuance commitment, and transformational leadership strengthens this relationship.

    A Study on the Training Needs Assessment (TNA) Process for the Development/Modification of T.V.E.T Programs in Belize
    (2005) 歐麗莎; Lisa G. Alvarez
    The following research is a study on the TNA process for the development/modification of TVET programs in Belize. The purpose of this study was to investigate the needs assessment that is currently prevalent in Belize when TVET programs are developed and determine whether or not it is effectively catering to the needs of the times. The sample comprised of a total of fifty-three persons who have participated in TNA or have knowledge about TVET and the TNA process in Belize. Respondents were selected based on their accessibility and their willingness to partake in the research. Three instruments were formulated and used to collect data; namely, a TNA questionnaire, a Business Sector Questionnaire and an Interview Sheet. Data collected from the questionnaires were coded and SPSS Statistical software was used to analyze it and generate descriptive statistics. These statistical results were then analyzed and discussions about them were written. Data collected from the interviews conducted; meanwhile, were summarized in key discussion paragraphs. Consequently, from the findings and various analysis of the results it is concluded that TNA is indeed relevant when it comes to developing/modifying training programs in Belize. Highlighted is the fact that to conduct an appropriately efficient needs assessment, key persons need to be involved such as key stakeholders, persons from the industry, MOEYS personnel, educators, specialists and analysts. The research concluded that TNA is being conducted to develop TVET programs; however since most training programs are based on traditional training needs then most often, TNA is onlyused to upgrade them.
