Abstract

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to examine the influential paths and internal relationships of organisational power, organisational culture and organisational cohesiveness. Design/Methodology/Approach: The Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) is used to analyse the survey data collected from 222 practitioners who are from five cosmetology industries based in Taiwan. Research findings: This study reveals that: (1) both organisational power and organisational culture individually creates significant impacts on organisational cohesiveness, and (2) organisational culture plays an important role as a mediator between organisational power, and organisational cohesiveness.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This finding encourages the need for more positive organisational culture to be built to enhance organisational cohesiveness which contributes to the achievement and performance of both the individuals and the organisations at large.Practitioner/Policy implications: The interactive factors’ effect overwhelms the single-factor effect, where individuals develop their organisational cohesiveness, even if each single factor functions separately. In reality, organisational culture needs to be the first priority factor to be developed in a workplace so as to build cohesiveness. Research limitations/Implications: This study is conducted based on a fundamental assumption, hence the limitation lies in that the surveyed sample may or may not fully understand the question/ items provided in the questionnaire. This could affect the level of honest answers revealed through their perceptions. Future studies may consider taking the qualitative approach. Keywords: Cosmetology Industry, Organisational Power, Organisational Culture, Organisational Cohesiveness JEL Classification: L66, L2, D91

台湾美容产业的组织力、凝聚力与文化

手稿类型：研究论文研究目的：本研究旨在考察组织权力、组织文化和组织凝聚力的影响路径和内部关系。设计/方法/方法：力矩结构分析（AMOS）用于分析从台湾五个美容行业的222名从业者收集的调查数据。研究结果：本研究表明：（1）组织权力和组织文化个体都对组织凝聚力产生了显著影响；（2）组织文化在组织权力与组织凝聚力之间发挥着重要的中介作用。理论贡献/独创性：这一发现鼓励建立更积极的组织文化，以增强组织凝聚力，这有助于个人和整个组织的成就和表现。从业者/政策含义：互动因素的影响压倒了单一因素的影响，即个人发展其组织凝聚力，即使每个单一因素单独发挥作用。事实上，为了建立凝聚力，组织文化需要成为工作场所发展的首要因素。研究局限性/影响：这项研究是基于一个基本假设进行的，因此局限性在于被调查的样本可能完全理解问卷中提供的问题/项目，也可能不完全理解。这可能会影响通过他们的感知所揭示的诚实答案的水平。未来的研究可能会考虑采用定性方法。关键词：美容行业，组织力量，组织文化，组织凝聚力JEL分类：L66，L2，D91
