| Summary: | <p>This study aimed to determine the effect of the group factor and use of technology on</p><p>both organizational commitment and personal achievement, the effect of the group</p><p>factor, use of technology, organizational commitment and personal achievement on</p><p>the effectiveness of team building among employees in Small and Medium</p><p>Enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia, and the mediating effect of personal achievement</p><p>and organizational commitment in the relationships between group factor and</p><p>effectiveness of team building, and between use of technology and effectiveness of</p><p>team building. The study adopted the quantitative approach. The purposive sampling</p><p>method was employed. A total of 520 employees from selected SMEs in Malaysia</p><p>were chosen as a sample. The online questionnaire was used as an instrument to</p><p>gather the data. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to analyze the data.</p><p>The findings showed that group factor (GF) and use of technology (UT) have a</p><p>significant and positive effect on organizational commitment (OC) [GF= 0.173, UT=</p><p>0.627, p<0.05, R2=0.381], and personal achievement (PA) [GF=0.325, UT=0.413,</p><p>p<0.05, R2=0.555]. The findings also revealed the significant positive effect of GF,</p><p>UT, OC and PA on the effectiveness of team building (ETB) [GF=0.167, UT=0.157,</p><p>OC=0.192, PA=0.218, p<0.05, R2=0.602]. In addition, the findings demonstrated the</p><p>mediating effect of OC and PA in the relationship between GF and ETB, as well as</p><p>the relationship between UT and ETB. In conclusion, to enhance the effectiveness of</p><p>team building among employees in SMEs, the roles of group factors, use of</p><p>technology, organizational commitment and personal achievement should be</p><p>intensified. In implication, the findings provide fresh insights on the components that</p><p>should be included in designing a better program to enhance the effectiveness of team</p><p>building among the employees in the SMEs.</p> |
