Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Management - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
This article presents a gap analysis of the employee-organization congruence (EOC) factors in the Sri Lankan Apparel Sector from the perspectives of factory employees. This study seeks to assess the gap of EOC factors based on an organizational culture profile instrument to measure five constructs: innovation, supportiveness, team orientation, outcome orientation and rewards. After conducting a pilot study, the instrument was administered to 322 factory workers who were selected based on the random sampling method in seventeen apparel firms. The analysis started with a descriptive analysis followed by factor and reliability analyses. Paired sample T-test and non parametric test were used for analyzing the gap in employee-organization congruence factors. The study revealed that overall, all congruence factors are incongruent (negative) and the gap is between .6 to .8.
