• W131466611 abstract "Institutions of higher learning are particularly concerned about student performance. Lack of academic success eventually leads to poor student retention and graduation rates. Failure to achieve acceptable levels in these measures can result in a number of deleterious outcomes including, but not limited to, loss of reputation among peer institutions, prospective students, and public policymakers; negative effects on funding from a variety of sources including state governments, private donors, and the Federal Government; and unfavorable rankings from accreditation bodies and other rating entities (Lau, 2003; Astin, 1993). Over the years, educational researchers have examined numerous theories and tested various empirical relationships regarding the academic environment (Nichols, 2010; Strauss and Volkwein, 2004; Astin, 1993). Much of this research has provided important information regarding student academic performance. However, the authors believe an important stream of research within business scholarship, Organizational Behavior (OB), might also provide vital insights regarding factors impacting student success. Organizational Behavior theory is a significant foundation for many business school teachings. It covers a number of sundry topics such as leadership, motivation, support, and commitment, among others (Miner, 2003). In addition, many OB factors have been empirically tested as predictors of outcomes such as organizational performance in the workplace (Siders et al., 2001; Meyer et al., 1989). There have been some studies on the application of OB constructs in the academic environment including topics such as: satisfaction, expectancy, and theory of planned behavior (Ajzen and Madden, 1986; Bean and Bradley, 1986; Geiger and Cooper, 1995). However, this is but a beginning, more examination of OB theories needs to be done in relation to student success. Certainly, an argument could be made that OB workplace issues such as support and commitment could also be key factors for success in school. Hence, this paper aims to practice what we teach by using OB constructs to study performance, not of employees in the workplace, but of students in a business school. One area of OB research that may have strong implications for the academic environment is Organizational Support Theory (OST). OST examines how perceptions of workplace support impact an employee's beliefs and behaviors (Rhoades and Eisenberger, 2002). Essentially, the theory espouses that if employees feel that the organization cares about their well-being and values their contributions then the employees will reciprocate in some way that is of benefit to the organization. Similarly, issues related to support have also been examined in educational research. Rosas and Hamrick (2002) conducted a qualitative study wherein students were asked questions regarding their parental and community support in regards to the students' academic efforts. The study concluded that students that felt supported responded with a desire to do well in school. In addition, other educational research studies have reported similar findings. Panos and Astin (1967) examined various social support systems in college including peer and faculty relationships and reported that support from these sources were related to student persistence academically. Furthermore, parental support and family support were also found to be positively related to students' psychological well-being (Cohen and Wills, 1985) and GPA (Cutrona et al., 1994; Supple and Small, 2006). Moreover, lack of peer support was found to predict lower student GPA (Dennis et al., 2005). Finally, Strauss and Volkwein (2004) determined that peer relationships and campus activities are strong predictors of a construct called institutional commitment. That is, if a student feels strongly supported by peers and is highly involved in activities at school they are more committed to staying at that institution. …" @default.
