Interpretation and analysis
In terms of individuals’ expectations of support from the organization, the above table
lists twenty different responses from showing the kind of support they would want to get
from their organization of work.
According to the table in case of category B responses, trainings/ workshops
have been identified as major sources of support expected by the employees from their
organization of work. Besides training, another major cluster of responses is at support
for advance studies, creating promotion opportunities, creating a career path and
providing an enabling environment. As a lecturer of category B says that the
organization can support us by arranging further studies in our specific area of
specialization. This shows that the staff lacks such kind of support in the context of
conventional organizations. According to an Administration Manager of category B
“Constant and frequent trainings always adds to the knowledge and are important for
any further promotion so the organizations should arrange these”. He further adds that
“out career development is an on going process and can not be achieved without
organizational support”.
Job security and providing guidance and coaching are yet another two aspects in
which the employees of the category B has shown their desire of getting support from
their organizations of work. According to a Trainee Medical Officer of category B the
organization should provide support through “specific trainings, guidance, creating
promotions and job opportunities, and providing job securities”. This means that most of
the times, individuals are preoccupied with the struggle to learn their existing tasks and at
the same time afraid of loosing their jobs. A Sericulture Development Officer in category
B says “the organization can support through regularization of project employees”. Such
a stressed environment could result in employee frustration and decreased motivation for
learning. Another TMO of category B says that the organization can provide support to
us through “giving proper guidelines, providing promotion opportunities and job
security”.
