A Cultural Ecology of New Public Management in Indonesia
Full text linkIn 1980s, new public management (NPM) gained popularity as a
universal model of reform in public sector management. However, in South East Asia, there have been significant differences between countries that have been successful in NPM reform. Drawing on frameworks of national culture, this article is aimed at exploring the applicability of NPM in the developing country of Indonesia.Using Hofstede ’s const ruct of national culture , social units in Indonesia are explained with NPM proposed as a culturally
dependent strategy. It is suggested that the successful implementation of NPM requires compliance between the reform strategies that are adopted and the country’s cultural characteristics. Prior failure in the implementation of NPM has rekindled the interest in the “old” bureaucratic paradigm which was then an indispensable foundation in the fiel

Leadership Practices and Talent Turnover: Study on Yemeni Organizations
Full text linkTo date, many studies have been conducted in order to identify factors that have a great impact on employees’
turnover. A number of studies have shown that leadership style influences employees’ job satisfaction and their
turnover intention. However, very few studies have dealt with the relationship between Kouzes and Posner (1987)’s
leadership practices and employees’ turnover. This study aims to identify the role that Leadership practices play in
enhancing loyalty and at the same time reducing turnover intention among the most valuable employees - talent
employees - in telecommunication sector in Yemen. In addition, current study also aims at examine whether the
relationship between leadership practices and turnover intention is mediated by the talent employees’ job
satisfaction.
Using the response of 280 employees working in the five Yemeni telecommunication organizations, the results
indicated that there is a negative relationship between overall leadership practices and turnover intentions among
talent employees, four out of five practices were negatively correlated with talent employees’ turnover intention.
Moreover, job satisfaction founded to be a mediator of the relationship between leadership practices and turnover
intentions.

Green product in Malaysia: Still a long way to go
Full text linkIn the early 2000’s green technology is a buzz word. However in a developing country
like Malaysia, customers’ acceptance of green products is still low due to the low
number of environmentally friendly products acceptance compared to their non-green
counterparts. On the basis of benefit and cost analysis, the purpose of this study is to
identify the factors influencing customers’ decision in buying green product. This study
argues that customers’ intention to buy green products are determined by benefit-toself, benefit to environment, comparative cost and attainable cost. A survey is based
on sample of 360 customers and potential customers of green products in Melaka,
Malaysia and Structural Equation Model is used. The research revealed that the
benefit-to-self factor is not a significant factor which influences customers’ intention to
buy green products. The implication of this research to the design of green products is

Innowacje w zarządzaniu uwzględniające równoważenia innowacji technologicznych wykorzystująca możliwości uniwersytetów w dobie społeczności 4.0
No full textThe Internet of things (IoT) has changed the way universities managing the people and the way of transferring knowledge. To go with the current trend, universities invest a considerable amount in technology to be acknowledged as an innovative university. However, lower productivity of lecturers, the complaint on the quality of outputs as well as the decreased enrolment requires universities to explore another arena to innovate. Academia has started accentuating that to capture the comprehensive benefits of innovation, technological innovation must be mixed with management innovation that is altering the practice of management within organizations by adopting new organizational structures, processes, and practices to generate a valuable source of competitive advantage. As most innovations are associated with product development, this study highlights management practices as a process innovation in responding to the trend. While there is a growing body of in-depth qualitative research that provides insight into the sequence of events that occurs during process innovation, these studies have not systematically analyzed the organizational capabilities that fuel management innovation mainly in an educational organization. Therefore, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is employed to spot the arena for further study. Finally, the model is expected to provide the model for universities wishing to promote innovation within the organization in supporting the Indonesian government’ aspire to achieve the economic growth above 7% in the years to come.Internet rzeczy (IoT) zmienił sposób, w jaki uniwersytety zarządzają ludźmi i sposobem przekazywania wiedzy. Zgodnie z obecnym trendem uniwersytety inwestują znaczne środki w technologię, aby zostać uznanym za innowacyjny uniwersytet. Jednak niższa produktywność wykładowców, skargi na jakość usług oraz zmniejszenie liczby rekrutujących wymagają od uniwersytetów odkrywania innej dziedziny innowacji. Szkolnictwo wyższe zaczęło podkreślać, że aby uchwycić wszechstronne korzyści innowacji, innowacje technologiczne muszą być mieszane z innowacjami w zarządzaniu, które zmieniają praktykę zarządzania w organizacjach, przyjmując nowe struktury organizacyjne, procesy i praktyki, aby wygenerować cenne źródło przewagi konkurencyjnej. Ponieważ większość innowacji wiąże się z rozwojem produktu, niniejsze studium podkreśla praktyki zarządzania jako innowację w procesie reagowania na trend. Chociaż istnieje coraz więcej szczegółowych badań jakościowych, które zapewniają wgląd w sekwencję zdarzeń zachodzących podczas innowacji procesowych, badania te nie analizowały systematycznie zdolności organizacyjnych, które napędzają innowacje w zarządzaniu, głównie w organizacji edukacyjnej. Dlatego do modelowania areny do dalszych badań stosuje się modelowanie równań strukturalnych (SEM). Wreszcie oczekuje się, że model zapewni procedurę uniwersytetom, które chcą promować innowacje w organizacji, wspierając rząd indonezyjski, dążąc do osiągnięcia wzrostu gospodarczego powyżej 7% w nadchodzących latach
