Abstract:

Although not specifically designed for organizations, the Fishbein and Ajzen model (1975) suggests that a confluence of social and personal beliefs regarding a particular behavior determines one's intention to perform, or not perform, a given behavior. The study begins with the Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) and Pickett’s (2005) models and adapts them to an organization to isolate and define the factors that predict behavior. Extending previous research, I tested my organizational model of intentioned behavior using structural equation modeling to better understand the relationships between latent and measured constructs and to test causal links between beliefs, intentions and subsequent behaviors.
