Abstract

This paper extends the resource based view of the firm to employee engagement and explores linkages with firm performance. It argues that employee engagement interacts with other intangible variables such as the sense of justice and psychological contract which an individual feels and expects, respectively. The individuals psychological contract is shaped by organizations HR policies along with many social cues from the work environment. This may affect the employee engagement. Further, there may be a positive effect of Employee Engagement on Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The entire equation may lead to high firm performance which in turn may affect Employee Engagement. It proposes a conceptual model of these intangible variables and their linkage with the tangible variable of firm performance.

Abstract

This paper reviews the literature in the domain of Work-Life Balance. It accentuates the importance of broadening the current narrow focus which looks at balance, primarily between "work" and "family". The paper proposes a conceptual model to be tested empirically. The construction of a robust scale for measurement of Work-Life Balance is emphasized. The proposed model focuses on the correlates of Work- Life Balance construct and its relationship with other variables such as employee engagement, emotional conson-ance/dissonance and turnover intention. Theoretical and practical implications of research in this domain are discussed with a focus on areas for future research.

Abstract

For an effective talent management strategy there is the need to build an employer branding intervention. The current study examines research literature on employer branding and person-organization fit. The study investigates the process of developing effective employer brand intervention through a case study. The qualitative study found the needfor a strong HR and communication strategy for effective employer branding intervention. For the construct of person organization fit, there was little data found in the case study. The paper contributes to the sparse literature in India on employer branding interventions and HR plus a communication strategy to build employer branding within an organization. Theoretical and practical implications are presented in the study.

Abstract

High involvement work systems today reflect inclusiveness and diversity, which have emerged in contemporary literature due to effects of globalization. Trends like outsourcing, off shoring, mergers and acquisitions, have led to a migratory workforce resulting in diversity in organizations. Moving from affirmative action, which was perceived as creating a stigma, organizations have embarked on diversity management, a more inclusive approach. This approach focuses on the unique strengths of people besides giving each individual an equal opportunity. Organizations worldwide, in their attempt at diversity management, have faced problems, as stereotypes are deeply ischolar_mained in one's culture and there are resistances to change. This paper tries to highlight the definition of diversity, the issues associated with it, different initiatives taken by organizations worldwide and the implications for organizations.

Abstract

This study addresses the research gaps by attempting to design a conceptually grounded, psychometrically sound instrument to measure employer brand. A cross-sectional sequential mixed-method is used for the scale development process where exploratory qualitative study is followed by a conclusive quantitative approach. An iterative testing and refinement procedure using three field surveys on a sample of 425 prospective employees, leads to a final eleven-item scale of employer brand that exhibits adequate levels of reliability, and convergent, discriminant and, nomonological validity. Structural equation modeling is used to confirm the factor structure. Results prove employer brand as a multidimensional construct. Strong factor structures and reasonably good performance in all validity criteria indicate that the instrument offers value for future empirical research.

Abstract

This paper explores the dynamics of human response to global climate change by investigating into the link between human capital and emotional agility and innovation. The emergence of millennial innovators and entrepreneurs who work towards climate change mitigation has made the field of inquiry captivating and worth pursuing. The paper explores the recently proposed concept of emotional agility and cognitive schemas in these young innovators working towards climate change mitigation. It examines the phenomenon using support from extant research as well as empirical evidence from innovators from seventeen countries belonging to emerging markets. The focus of this research is in its qualitative approach and computer aided content analysis across data that spans multiple geographies and cultures.
