Organizational Approval Degree and Mobilization Efficiency

In an organization with a relatively higher organizational approval degree, individuals typically believe that the organization’s elements align more closely with their cognition or value judgments (i.e., they are more “correct”). Humans tend to believe that schemes they deem correct will yield better outcomes. Thus, higher organizational approval degrees often lead individuals to be more optimistic about the outcomes of the organization’s network operations, fostering a belief in higher rights conversion efficiency in the present or future. Additionally, a more optimistic view of the organization may translate to greater confidence in the prospects of rights conversion between individuals and the organization (i.e., higher certainty). Furthermore, since humans often evaluate their own efforts optimistically, if an increased organizational approval degree is accompanied by individuals’ efforts to adjust organizational elements, this may further enhance their trust in the organization.

Based on the earlier definition that mobilization is essentially the execution process of rights conversion, individuals assess the success probability of rights conversion (e.g., whether a purchased car will be delivered or whether promised wages will be paid) and the actual efficiency of rights conversion (e.g., whether a purchased product is cost-effective or whether work involves unpaid overtime or poor conditions). Low expected success rates or efficiency may lead individuals to demand higher immediate rights conversion to compensate for these uncertainties. For example, consumers may lower their willingness to pay due to poor after-sales service or lack of confidence in a company’s sustainability. Similarly, employees may demand higher immediate wages to compensate for uncertainties about salary payments, overtime, or promotion prospects. Investors may require higher returns to offset perceived risks, increasing financing costs for the organization. Conversely, when individuals are confident in the organization’s development or optimistic about their rights conversion prospects (high certainty or expected higher efficiency), mobilization becomes easier to achieve.
