Background: Strong organizations must maintain vital activities and help others survive. All non-profit organizations (NPOs) aim to increase customers' social well-being. These organizations have been under pressure to enhance management, efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability recently. A performance evaluation system is essential to internal monitoring and control in non-governmental organizations due to a diversified and linked workforce that works toward several layers of organization-specified objectives at different levels.Objectives: This study aims to explore the performance appraisal system of International Non-Governmental Organizations in Nepal. Additionally, it is to analyze the effect of the performance appraisal system on employee motivation in these organizations in Nepal.Methods: The study adopted a mix-method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire of 300 employees, with 212 responses from six INGOs operating in Nepal and 5 HR managers of the INGOs. The performance appraisal system considered components, i.e., performance appraisal purpose, performance appraisal standard, feedback on performance appraisal, reliability of ratings, and rather assurance on employee motivation.Findings: The results determined that performance appraisal purpose, reliability of ratings, and rater assurance significantly affect employee motivation. In contrast, feedback on performance appraisal and performance appraisal standards did not significantly impact employee motivation.Conclusions: An organization's fair and accurate performance appraisal system helps employees feel unbiased and motivates them toward work. Employees should receive performance appraisals to verify that the authorities have reviewed their work. It inspires them.
背景:强大的组织必须维持重要的活动,并帮助其他组织生存。所有非营利组织(NPOs)的目标都是提高客户的社会福利。这些组织最近面临着加强管理、效率、效力和责任的压力。业绩评价制度对非政府组织的内部监测和控制是必不可少的,因为工作人员多样化和相互联系,在不同的层次上为若干层次的组织规定的目标而努力。目的:本研究旨在探讨国际非政府组织在尼泊尔的绩效考核制度。此外,它是分析在尼泊尔这些组织的绩效考核制度对员工激励的影响。方法:采用混合法。数据是通过对300名员工的结构化问卷收集的,其中有来自6个在尼泊尔运营的国际非政府组织和5个国际非政府组织的人力资源经理的212份回复。考绩制度考虑了考绩目的、考绩标准、考绩反馈、评分的可靠性以及对员工积极性的保证等组成部分。结果发现:绩效考核目的、评分信度和评分保证显著影响员工动机。相比之下,绩效考核反馈和绩效考核标准对员工激励没有显著影响。结论:一个组织的公平和准确的绩效评估体系可以帮助员工感到公正,并激励他们工作。员工应该接受绩效评估,以证实当局已经审查了他们的工作。它激励着他们。

Background: Students' perspective on graduate employability is an essential aspect to consider as they are the primary stakeholders of higher education institutions. Therefore, exploring graduates' perspectives on their employability and considering their opinions when designing policies and programs to improve graduate employability is crucial. However, little attention has been paid to graduates' perspectives on their employability.Objectives: This paper explored graduates' perceptions of employability, the labour market, and their views on academic credentials and employability skills in obtaining and retaining employment. The paper also examined the role of business schools in enhancing employability and how universities have prepared graduates to enter the labour market in the context of the human capital approach.Methods: The study adopted a qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with a small sample of 38 undergraduate students from two different business programs who graduated from the constituent college of Pokhara university in 2019 and 2021 using purposive sampling. The interviews were designed to elicit in-depth responses from the participants and to allow them to share their experiences and insights. The study used the thematic analysis approach to analyze the data, which involved identifying patterns and themes within the data. The transcripts of the interviews were carefully reviewed and analyzed, and themes were generated based on the recurring patterns and ideas expressed by the participants.Results: The thematic analysis demonstrated that graduates understood employability as becoming employable with the potential of employability skills. Graduates viewed possessing academic credentials as one of the key benefits ofbecoming employable in the competitive and congested graduate labour market. The study further illustrated that employers expect both discipline-specific knowledge and soft skills from graduates. The data on the role of business schools in enhancing employability suggested that although many graduates felt that business schools could provide theoretical knowledge, the schools need to pay more attention to practical-based knowledge, especially soft skills.Conclusion: The study findings have provided insights into how recent graduates comprehend employability, view the current labour market and position their academic credentials in employability. The analysis has further demonstrated that students increasingly view their employability as the relative positional competition for labour market resources, which appears to have a bearing on how they perceive the role of credentials in their employability. The findings have further shown that employers expect both sides of graduate potential: strong academic credentials and employability skills. Therefore, graduates increasingly see the need to develop broader employability, which incorporates building strong academic credentials and employability skills an
背景:学生对毕业生就业能力的看法是一个必须考虑的方面,因为他们是高等教育机构的主要利益相关者。因此,在制定提高毕业生就业能力的政策和方案时,探索毕业生对其就业能力的看法,并考虑他们的意见是至关重要的。然而,很少有人关注毕业生对自己就业能力的看法。目的:本文探讨了毕业生对就业能力、劳动力市场的看法,以及他们对获得和保持就业的学历和就业技能的看法。该报告还研究了商学院在提高就业能力方面的作用,以及大学如何在人力资本方法的背景下为毕业生进入劳动力市场做好准备。方法:采用半结构化访谈的定性方法,对2019年和2021年毕业于博卡拉大学组成学院的两个不同商业专业的38名本科生进行有目的抽样调查。访谈的目的是让参与者深入回答,并让他们分享他们的经验和见解。本研究采用主题分析方法分析数据,包括识别数据中的模式和主题。访谈的笔录经过仔细的审查和分析,并根据参与者反复出现的模式和表达的想法产生主题。结果:专题分析表明,毕业生将就业能力理解为具有就业技能潜力的可就业能力。毕业生们认为,拥有学历是在竞争激烈、拥挤的毕业生劳动力市场上找到工作的关键优势之一。该研究进一步表明,雇主希望毕业生具备专业知识和软技能。关于商学院在提高就业能力方面的作用的数据表明,尽管许多毕业生认为商学院可以提供理论知识,但学校需要更多地关注以实践为基础的知识,特别是软技能。结论:研究结果为应届毕业生如何理解就业能力、如何看待当前的劳动力市场以及如何将自己的学历定位于就业能力提供了见解。分析进一步表明,学生越来越多地将他们的就业能力视为劳动力市场资源的相对位置竞争,这似乎与他们如何看待证书在其就业能力中的作用有关。调查结果进一步表明,雇主对毕业生的潜力有两方面的期望:强大的学历和就业技能。因此,毕业生越来越意识到发展更广泛的就业能力的必要性,这包括在正式学习环境之外建立强大的学术证书和就业技能和能力。研究结果对商学院、政策制定者和研究人员在知识驱动型经济的更广泛论述中具有启示意义。

A Comparative Study of Immediate Annuities and Ordinary Annuities in establishing the Phantom of Zero Liability Under the Trusteeship Pension Valuation Structure 托管年金估值结构下即时年金与普通年金零负债幻影的比较研究
Pub Date : 2023-05-02 DOI: 10.3126/jbm.v7i01.54549

Background: The liabilities of a pension scheme define the financial value to be paid at a definite period in the future. The underlying goal of pension plans is to provide retirees with sufficient stream of income to enable them to live a decent financially independent life post-employment period. The regulatory framework for occupational pension schemes necessitates the services of trustees as administrators who assume legal administrative responsibilities on the scheme and saddled to oversee actuarial valuations of the scheme's liabilities at definite points in time.Objectives: The objective of this paper is (i) to empirically examine the drivers of pension liability and how they are evaluated by the trustee’s model. (ii) Specifically, the study intends to use input parameters of the trustee model to establish the conditions for which the value of liability is zero under trusteeship annuity factor.Methods: This study applies trustees’ valuation model, the present values together with infinitesimal calculus. Salary data as well as demographic data were obtained from an agricultural production services company located in Jos-South, Nigeria.Results: Computational evidence from our results proves that the total service liability under the conditions of the current model is vanishingly zero. However, when the annuity factor is replaced by life table annuity, the service liability does not vanish.Conclusion: The total service liability obtained as zero therefore initiates inquiry as to whether this current valuation framework causes potential uncertainties for the pension trustees who are responsibly saddled with both administration and core decision-making responsibilities of the system.
背景:养老金计划的负债定义了在未来某一特定时期要支付的财务价值。养恤金计划的基本目标是为退休人员提供足够的收入来源,使他们能够在离职后过着体面的经济独立生活。职业养恤金计划的规管架构需要受托人作为行政管理人提供服务,他们对计划承担法律上的行政责任,并负责在特定时间点监督计划负债的精算估值。目的:本文的目的是(i)实证检验养老金负债的驱动因素,以及如何通过受托人的模型来评估它们。(ii)具体而言,本研究拟利用受托人模型的输入参数,确定受托年金因素下负债价值为零的条件。方法:本研究采用受托人估值模型、现值法及微积分法。薪金数据和人口统计数据是从位于尼日利亚乔斯南的一家农业生产服务公司获得的。结果:本研究结果的计算证据证明,在当前模型条件下,总服务责任为零。然而,当年金因子被生命表年金所取代时,服务责任并未消失。结论:得到的总服务责任为零,因此开始询问当前的估值框架是否会对承担系统管理和核心决策责任的养老金受托人造成潜在的不确定性。

Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are seen  as effective strategies for business growth in the corporate sector. However, there are very little study on ‘merger and acquisition’ available in the context of Nepal.Objectives: This study examines the effects of mergers and acquisitions on employees’ satisfaction in Nepalese Banking sectors.Method: The study, which adopts the Job Characteristics Theory as its theoretical foundation, was conducted among employees from Nepalese banking sector that had undergone M&A. The study seeks cause and effects relationship amongst banking employees in Kathmandu valley due to merger and acquisition and adopts explanatory research design. Data were collected from 310 respondents and Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyze the data.Results: The findings demonstrate that merger and acquisition have an influence on employees’ satisfaction, with just one out of every four employees reporting high levels of satisfaction following M&A. The results exhibit that organizational climate, recognition and nature of work remain signifi cant to employees’ satisfaction and their motivation. Likewise, pay/remuneration is also statistically significant to employees’ motivation. Again, employees’ motivation also seems significant to employees’ satisfaction.Conclusion: Therefore, this study offers practical insights to human resource managers in strengthening human resources of the organization as perceived by employees after an M&A by considering the crucial role of employees in organizational performance.
背景:并购(M&A)被视为企业部门业务增长的有效策略。然而,在尼泊尔的背景下,关于“并购”的研究很少。目的:本研究探讨尼泊尔银行业并购对员工满意度的影响。方法:以工作特征理论为理论基础,以尼泊尔银行业并购后的员工为研究对象。本研究寻求加德满都谷地银行员工因并购而产生的因果关系,采用解释研究设计。数据来自310名受访者,并使用结构方程模型对数据进行分析。结果:研究结果表明,并购对员工满意度有影响,只有四分之一的员工在并购后报告了高水平的满意度。结果表明,组织氛围、工作认可和工作性质对员工满意度和工作动机仍有显著影响。同样,薪酬/报酬对员工的动机也有统计学意义。同样,员工的动机似乎对员工满意度也很重要。结论:因此,考虑到员工在组织绩效中的关键作用,本研究为人力资源管理者在并购后加强员工对组织人力资源的感知提供了实用的见解。

Background: Social media, particularly at the time of the election, are frequently used by politicians for communication with their voters. Among different social media, Facebook is the most popular media in Nepal.Objectives: In this context, the paper has analyzed how the eighteen mayoral candidates of the Local Election-2022 from six Metropolises of Nepal have performed different illocutionary speech acts while communicating with their voters through posts on Facebook.Methods: Developing a protocol, selected 394 posts of two candidates of the major political parties and one independent candidate from each metropolis are selected as data for analysis. The status updates on Facebook of these candidates from the day of their nomination to the election silence period before the voting day are collected for analysis. The taxonomy of illocutionary speech acts developed by Searle is taken as the theoretical base to analyze the collected written updates.Results: The study has found extreme use of assertive speech acts and occasional use of declarative speech acts in the status updates by the mayoral candidates. There are no fundamental differences between the winning and losing candidates regarding their culture of using or ignoring particular speech acts.Conclusions: Communicating the certainty or the inaccuracy of the proposition in the form of extreme assertive speech acts by the candidate indicates the usual reporting character of them rather than adopting other rational and expressive speech acts to move the audience. It also indicates that they perform different speech acts without being conscious of the inherent characteristics of the acts. The study supports scrutinizing the communication skills of the politicians of urban Nepal in terms of doing politics with words.
背景:社交媒体,特别是在选举期间,经常被政客用来与选民沟通。在不同的社交媒体中,Facebook是尼泊尔最受欢迎的媒体。目的:在此背景下,本文分析了尼泊尔六个大都市的地方选举-2022的18位市长候选人在通过Facebook帖子与选民交流时如何表现出不同的言外行为。方法:制定方案,选取各大城市两名主要政党候选人和一名独立候选人的394个岗位作为数据进行分析。收集这些候选人从提名之日起至投票前的选举沉默期,在Facebook上的状态更新进行分析。本文以Searle的言外言语行为分类法为理论基础,对收集到的文字更新进行分析。结果:研究发现,市长候选人在状态更新中极端使用自信的言语行为,偶尔使用陈述性的言语行为。在使用或忽视特定言语行为的文化方面,获胜和失败的候选人之间没有根本的区别。结论:候选人以极端自信的言语行为的形式传达命题的确定性或不准确性,表明了他们通常的报道特征,而不是采取其他理性和富有表现力的言语行为来打动听众。这也表明他们在没有意识到行为的固有特征的情况下进行了不同的言语行为。这项研究支持检视尼泊尔城市政治人物的沟通技巧,看他们是如何用语言处理政治。

Background: Construction site safety is a major issue in the construction industry all around the world. In a developing country like Nepal, the number of construction industries is growing haphazardly at a high rate but they are not being able to cope with factors associated with construction site safety.Objective: The main objective of the study is to explore the status of safety management in public building construction projects and to suggest measures for improvement.Methodology: To achieve the objective of the study, data were collected from the Engineers and site management personnel through a questionnaire survey. Data were analyzed descriptively by IBM SPSS and presented in tables and diagrams.Conclusion: The identified major safety issues for public building construction sites are lack of regular safety inspection, lack of use of personal protective equipment (PPE), lack of conducting safety training, and a lack of proper safety policy and plan including a lack of an adequate budget for safety management. Increased worker safety awareness and introducing safe working practices through training and induction programs are vital to reducing construction site safety. The outcome of the study will be helpful while formulating a project-based construction site safety policy.
背景:建筑工地安全是世界范围内建筑行业的一个重大问题。在像尼泊尔这样的发展中国家,建筑行业的数量正在以很高的速度随意增长,但它们无法应对与建筑工地安全相关的因素。目的:研究的主要目的是了解公共建筑建设项目安全管理的现状,并提出改进措施。方法:为了达到研究目的,通过问卷调查的方式收集了工程师和现场管理人员的数据。数据采用IBM SPSS进行描述性分析,并以表格和图表的形式呈现。结论:公共建筑施工现场存在的主要安全问题是缺乏定期安全检查,缺乏个人防护装备(PPE)的使用,缺乏进行安全培训,以及缺乏适当的安全政策和计划,包括缺乏足够的安全管理预算。提高工人的安全意识,并通过培训和入职计划介绍安全工作做法,对降低建筑工地的安全至关重要。研究结果将有助制订以工程为本的建筑地盘安全政策。
