No full textThe relationship between job crafting and work engagement in one of the local authorities in Malaysia
No full textThis study aims to investigate the relationship between job crafting (task crafting, relational crafting and cognitive crafting) and work engagement (vigour, dedication and absorption) in Malaysian context. This study is focused on public officers and respondents of this research include 79 middle managers at one of the local authorities in Malaysia. The hypothesis of this study was tested using Pearson Correlation Coefficient Analysis. Both mean levels of job crafting and work engagement were high level with 4.66 and 4.64, respectively. Therefore, it is proven that the middle managers agreed and practiced both job crafting and work engagement. In addition, the results also revealed that job crafting is positively and significantly related to work engagement where p=0.000 (p<0.05) and r=0.712. Hence, the result imply that organizations should be paying more attention to the fact that job crafting and work engagement are related to one another and its benefits may help the organization to be more competitive and more successful in the future
Strategic HR in higher educational institutions in Malaysia and Denmark
No full textThe objective of this paper is to explore the strategic roles of HR professionals at Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia and Denmark and to investigate the factors that influence the differences between the Human Resource (HR) departments in the two countries. This research uses case study approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with different levels of HR professionals in the HR department, namely HR directors, HR managers and HR officers. The results show that the centralization or decentralization of HR functions does have an impact on how the HR department in the organization fulfils its role
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Sprituality and resilience effects on employee awareness and engagement in csr: an overview and research agenda
No full textAs an individual, employee is the main organisation stakeholder who is also recognised as an asset, internal customer and the organisation representative. Their participation and proactive support is crucial to organisation's CSR practices. Their CSR awareness is a process of observation; retention and imitation of the organisational CSR practices into the motivation to demonstrate it as their personal engagement in CSR practices. However, a little is known about the linkage between employee CSR awareness and their engagement in CSR as earlier researches are more focus on organisation CSR awareness and its influence on employee engagement. This research hypothesizes the significant underlying influence of individual spirituality and resilience that interplays as mediator and moderator to the relationship between individual awareness and engagement in CSR
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Work-family balance and hybrid working environment for women: an agenda
No full textThere have been a number of women who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic both in their personal and professional lives as well as in their online work. This study is aimed at investigating the impact of congruence between supervisor-person values and supervisor- organization values on women's work-family balance in hybrid working environments and the impact of this on their work-family balance at work. We have collected 111 completed surveys from working women in Malaysia using a survey tool. It has been found that working overtime and getting to work on time interfere with personal responsibilities at home and interfere with time management. When supervisors are unaware of the fact that there are times when personal/family demands trump work, an incongruence of person-supervisor value occurs. The incongruence between person-organizational values always occurs when an organization does not provide a work arrangement that works for people who have personal/family responsibilities as well as the needs of the company. It has already been found in previous studies that congruent relationships between individuals and organizations, or between employees and their supervisors, can have a profound influence on the outcomes of work, such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and stress levels. According to our study, a congruent approach to both the supervisor and employee values (person-supervisor and employee-organization) will lower the risk-taking behavior, especially when reducing conflict between work and home life
The relationship between green HRM practices and organizational citizenship behavior toward environment (OCBE)
Full text linkThe successful implementation of green HRM practices in the organizations may pivot on organizational citizenship behavior toward environment (OCBE) among employees. Green HRM practices are foreseen to build organizations that accentuate environmental, dwell on human assets and recruit employees with profound knowledge regarding the environment, grant skills and competencies training in the technology and innovation sectors as well as offering rewards and compensations to produce a flourishing environmental management. The purpose of this research is to study the relationship between green HRM practices and OCBE among employees. Data of this study has been gathered through survey. Questionnaire was distributed among the employees in Company Y, Petaling Jaya, Selangor to collect data for analysis purpose. The findings of this study indicates that there is a significant relationship between green HRM practices and OCBE among the employees in Company Y. The findings also emphasize that green reward and compensation most strongly contribute to OCBE. The results of this study can assist Company Y to identify the importance of green reward and compensation in influencing OCBE. In conclusion, green HRM practices are applied in a moderate level to encourage OCBE among employees in Company Y
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
