Socio-Economic Impact of Emigration on the Families Members Left Behind: A Case Study of District Rawalpindi
No full textThe phenomenon of migration is not new and there are many reasons behind
this emigration; achieving higher socio-economic status is one of them. In
developing countries like Pakistan, poverty is one of the major root causes of
emigration. There are some districts of Punjab from where the masses have the
trend to migrate. This study addresses the impacts of international migration on
families left behind in Dhamial, District Rawalpindi. In-depth interviews were
conducted, however data was quantified around positive and negative socioeconomic impacts on families left behind. The evidence showed both positive
and negative impacts of international migration. The flow of remittances
influences the life of people in positive way and it assisted in improving the
socio-economic status of the families. However, there are many other serious
problems faced by the families left behind
Politics and Exhaustion — with Asad Haider
No full textTheorist and author Asad Haider joins Below the Radar to discuss questions he explores in his book, Mistaken Identity: Race and Class in the Age of Trump. Asad discusses how class dynamics cannot be separated from identity-driven movements. As well, he explores ideas of political exhaustion in the tradition of political theorists such as Sylvain Lazarus and Alain Badiou. In this interview, Asad interrogates the role of identity in politics and how it has been taken up in discourse — complicating the relationship between race and class in a context that has been defined by capital interests. Asad and Am discuss theoretical questions around frameworks for political organizing and solidarity across movements. He also speaks to our current moment as one of political exhaustion, where it\u27s difficult to mobilize transformative political change
Human resource practices and turnover intentions: A study of the hotel industry in Malaysia / Syed Haider Ali Shah
No full textThis study is an attempt to examine and incorporate HR practices and its relationship with turnover intentions. Moreover, there is a gap to link such HR practices with talent engagement, affective commitment and their outcomes. The first objective of the study is to investigate the impact of HR practices in reducing turnover intentions. The second objective is to examine the effect of HR practices on turnover intentions through mediating role of talent engagement (job engagement & organization engagement). The third objective is to analyze the mediating role of affective commitment between HR practices and turnover intentions. Based on the social exchange theory, an integrated model with three bundle of HR practices (motivation enhancing, empowerment enhancing, and skills enhancing) predicting variables, three mediating variables (job engagement, organization engagement and affective commitment) and one dependent variable, turnover intentions, is examined in this study. First, relevant dimensions of HR practices are identified from literature, where 16 dimensions of these three HR practices are selected with the help of expert survey. Based on this, the study develops a close ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 51 hotels (three star, four star and five star) which are registered with Malaysia Association of Hotels, 2014. The respondents (the line and middle line manages) are identified as the locus of talent resulting in a total of 425 managers with the response rate of 75%. This study applied the structural equation modeling technique to investigate the direct effects of HR practices (overall and dimensions) and indirect effects (through talent engagement and affective commitment) on turnover intentions. The results reveal a significant negative effect of HR practices on turnover intentions. Likewise, findings showed the mediating role of talent engagement and affective commitment between HR practices and turnover intentions. In analyzing the effects of individual HR practices, the study concludes that i) motivation enhancing practices negatively effect the turnover intentions, ii) empowerment enhancing practices negatively effect the turnover intentions and, iii) skills enhancing practices positively effect on turnover intentions. This study classified and developed three bundles of HR practices which adds value to the existing body of knowledge. Moreover, before bundling the HR practices, it is necessary to consider its individual effects on turnover intentions instead of only aggregate HR practices. This study highlights the need of careful selection of skills enhancing practices with company specific training practices. Further, this empirical study has focused on the managerial level which is considered as locus of talent. This research contributes to the existing literature of HRM on managerial level rather than general employee turnover. In addition to empirical progress in the existing knowledge, this study provides the application of this proposed model in hotels in Malaysia. Therefore, hotel management may introduce intervention strategies in the form of equipping talents with the necessary meaningful job engagement and organizational engagement. Moreover, hotel management could view engagement as a broad organizational and cultural strategy. Hence, top management could develop and manage HR practices with affective commitment and talent engagement in reducing turnover intentions
