A study of the influence of organizational change on organizational performances of listed tourist hotels in Taiwan: Using organizational commitment as the mediating variable

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of organizational change on organizational performance of listed tourist hotels in Taiwan using organizational commitment as the mediating variable. By convenience sampling to select employees from Taiwan’s listed tourist hotels, this study applied the method of structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the goodness-of-fit of the overall model, structural model and measurement model. This study focused on the path coefficients between “implicit variables” (also known as unobservable variables) of the structural model, and the Bayesian estimation was used to test the significance of the structural model’s direct effect, mediating effect and total effect. Findings from this study include: (1) organizational change does have a positively direct influence on organizational performance, but insignificantly; (2) the organizational change has a significantly positive influence on organizational commitment as well as on the organizational performance. Generally, organizational commitment does have a “fully” mediating effect. Key words: Organizational change, organizational performance, organizational commitment.
