BACKGROUND: Nowadays organizations have made their human resource management process more strategic and serve as a strategic tool for achieving competitive advantage for the organization with the development of electronic-Human Resource Management (e-HRM) Systems. To measure e-HRM system acceptance for performing various HR functions of an organization, especially the HR department, a perception model for acceptance of e-HRM systems in IT and Non-IT organizations has been developed in this research paper. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study is to derive an acceptance model that can predict the acceptability and the factors affecting the acceptance of e-HRM systems in IT and Non-IT organizations. For this purpose, an electronic-survey-based questionnaire with a set of questions with categorical response options has been developed and the responses collected through this questionnaire are eligible to measure the acceptance level with effectiveness and usefulness of the e-HRM systems by IT and Non-IT business organizations. METHODS: Here, the questionnaire has 22 parameters. During data collection, 400 samples are obtained from 20 IT and 20 Non-IT (other services) organizations where ten employees from each organization participated in the survey. For the Data analysis for the acceptance model and also for testing of the hypothesis, several statistical-based data analysis techniques such as Data Reliability, Cross Tabulation, Normality test, Correlation ∖& Regression-based analysis, Factor Analysis, along with Pearson Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon W for hypothetical testings are done. Apart from these criteria, using the data analysis techniques, a well-known technology acceptance model for the e-HRM system has also been employed to test with variables of the proposed questionnaire for the acceptance of e-HRM systems. RESULTS: All the statistical tests and testing of hypotheses are done in a sequential manner for comparison purposes of factors that affect e-HRM systems in IT and Non-IT organizations. The results are reported in detail with explanations and justifications. CONCLUSION: The results of the data analyses can be concluded with finding and discussing that the acceptability of e-HRM systems by the end users in IT firms is much higher than in other service organizations because of the significant difference in presence of external factors, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, user attitude, and behavior between the IT and Non-IT groups of organizations.

BACKGROUND: Sharing of knowledge and positive workplace behavior by employees are perquisites for the success of every organization. The present study realized the significance of knowledge sharing and positive behavior in a country like India where high-power distance culture is prevalent. OBJECTIVE: The present research aimed to investigate the influence of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding and employee organizational deviance. In addition mediating roles negative affectivity and employee silence were alsotested. METHODS: Data was gathered from 420 employees working in a service organization in India. SPSS vs. 23 and Amos vs. 24 were used for data analysis purposes. The techniques of SEM were applied to test the proposed hypotheses in the present research. RESULTS: The study found the positive and significant influence of abusive supervision on knowledge hiding, but the insignificant influence of abusive supervision on employee organizational deviance. The results also reflected the full mediating role of negative affectivity but the partial intervening or mediating role of employee silence between the relationships of abusive supervision with knowledge hiding and employees’ organizational deviance. CONCLUSION: The study suggested the management introduce various measures to reduce abusive supervision leading to negative consequences.

BACKGROUND: Natural disasters such as earthquakes have imposed particular problems on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including on their journey to recovery. Business recovery is a term that has numerous theoretical and practical applications and is frequently regarded as the most elusive stage of a disaster cycle. Hence, it necessitates an exploration. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the determinants of business recovery in the aftermath of a disaster. A framework synthesized from the literature review and hypotheses developed demonstrate factors that drive business recovery. METHODS: This study used an explanatory approach that laid quantitative foundations. The study also tested relevant hypotheses with a statistical approach using the PLS-SEM technique. An off-line survey was conducted using data collected from 272 SMEs in tourism affected by the 2018 Lombok earthquake in Indonesia. The data were analyzed with SmartPLS to test the effects of knowledge management, mitigation strategy, business adaptability, business recovery, and government support. RESULTS: The results indicate that knowledge management, mitigation strategy and business adaptability are determinants of business recovery. However, government support has no influence in leveraging those three determinants of business recovery. This finding may indicate that SMEs that possess a strong level of knowledge management with the ability to formulate a mitigating strategy as well as adapt to certain changes are more likely to succeed in recovering their businesses. In addition, whether or not government support is viable, independently managed SMEs are more likely to progressively perform and be less dependent on aid from other entities on their road to recovery. CONCLUSIONS: KM and mitigation strategy function as determinants of business adaptability subsequent to SMEs’ recovery. On the basis of the resource-based view (RBV), mitigation strategy and business adaptability are influential resources that can leverage firms’ potential for in the quest of competitive advantage and facing environmental turbulence. Nonetheless, government support remains a challenge in the survival of SMEs to cope with the negative impact caused by disaster. Thus, government should strengthen the awareness towards such issue as well as providing much more holistic support in the future particularly to educate SMEs on the importance of mitigation strategy in prior to a disaster.

BACKGROUND: Many studies are focused on safety culture. There is no study on employees’ perceptions of safety culture in natural health resorts. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the concept of safety culture from the perspective of the employees in natural health resorts in Slovenia. METHODS: The survey was administered to a sample of 268 employees in six Slovenian natural health resorts to measure the attitudes, practices/behaviors, knowledge, and training of employees. RESULTS: The results of the survey did not show a statistical correlation between the employees’ safety attitudes and their age, their level of education and their position within the organization. However, this study revealed significant differences in understanding of the safety measures and selected safety attitudes across six resorts. Similarly, the study revealed significant differences in knowledge and understanding of the safety protocols across six resorts. The results are reflecting higher management safety awareness in selected resorts what could result in an important competitive advantage for a selected organization. CONCLUSIONS: The research provides an in-depth insight into the concept of safety culture, presented through the attitudes, practices/behaviors, knowledge, and training of employees in natural health resorts in Slovenia. Findings contribute to the development of conceptual knowledge in safety science.

BACKGROUND: This study examines the effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions and individual motivations and the mediation of individual motivations in the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions. METHODS: We tested 374 questionnaire samples using quantitative research methods. We used PLS-SEM and mediation analyses to analyze the data. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: First, the findings show that entrepreneurship education positively affects individual motivations of entrepreneurial intentions, personal attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and need for achievement. Second, subjective norms and the need for achievement did not impact entrepreneurial intentions compared to personal attitudes and perceived behavior. Finally, we found that while personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control mediated the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions, subjective norms and the need for achievement had no effect. The study contributes to the literature and provides policy and managerial implications for macro and micro factors affecting entrepreneurial intentions in transition economies.

Despite the growing recognition of the importance of supportive teacher–student relationships to create safety for young people who have experienced early adversity and trauma, there is not a clear understanding of what factors make for positive school relationships and how these can be fostered. The aims of the study were to explore how children with challenging emotional backgrounds are supported by their key adult in school and how this occurs in the process of conversations between them. Three student–teacher pairs from a specialist school took part in a semi-structured interview about their relationship. Data was analysed using conversation analysis. Analysis found how teaching staff use several conversational markers in talk with children with attachment difficulties when emotional experiences are raised and when troubles occur in navigating difficult conversations. Recommendations for clinical practice and future research are made.

BACKGROUND: Like Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) count on blockchain technology, and NFTs are the latest and the most popular in a series of blockchain solutions. Traders in this ecosystem need to pay a dynamic fee, called a gas fee, for making any transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. The gas fee is measured by gwei, and traders must consider this as an additional cost. So, the current price of this fee may affect the decision of NFT creators or traders. OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the interrelationships between NTFs, cryptocurrencies (Ethereum and BTC), and gas fees using daily market data from January 2019 to November 2021. METHOD: Fourier Shin’s (2016) cointegration test, Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares, and Group Dynamic Least Squares tests were employed to analyze the data. Then, the variance Decomposition method was applied to determine what other variables explain the percentage of the total variance on NFTs— it also used Impulse-response functions for measuring the response of the NFTs variable for one standard deviation shock. RESULTS: Results show that an increase in gas fees, the daily volume of Bitcoin, and the daily volume of Ethereum decrease NFTs sales. There is a unidirectional relationship between lnSales and lnGasFee variables. Also, there is a determined unidirectional relationship between lnBTC and lnSales variables. Lastly, there is a one-way causality relationship between lnSales and lnETH variables. CONCLUSIONS: The primary causation of the relationship between NFTs, gas fees and Ethereum fees is most likely related to the use of Ethereum as the primary means of payment in the NFTs market and gas fees being a significant cost element in NFTs trading. Another point of view is that the dominance of Bitcoin in the market is very effective in pricing of other cryptocurrencies and in the sales and pricing of NFTs indirectly. It is supported by empirical findings that the main elements in the blockchain ecosystem are interrelated.

Through a double interpretation of a focus group interview, the study explores how recovery-oriented professionals in a supported housing facility for people in dual recovery support the residents’ need for meaningfuless in everyday life, and how this work may also facilitate the professionals’ own need for meaningfuless. Findings suggest that professionals promote meaningful everyday life for residents by constructing (1) an open house (2) a house with a framework, and (3) a house of change, and for them self by constructing (4) a house of giving. The study proposes that a discourse is active in the data, namely, that the professional is usually in the position of giving and the person in recovery is usually in the position of receiving. We suggest that if professionals wish to promote recovery, they should provide opportunities for service users to give, not just to receive.

METHODS: Based on data obtained from 196 Muslim employees who work in the three stone milling companies located in Central Java - Indonesia, this study uses a survey in the form of a questionnaire and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Amos 24.0 software to test hypotheses in the proposed research model. RESULTS: The results of this study prove that ethical leadership has a significant effect on employee performance, Islamic work ethics, and knowledge sharing. Furthermore, Islamic work ethics and knowledge sharing significantly improve employee performance. CONCLUSION: The findings in this study further confirm that Islamic work ethics and knowledge sharing play an important role in linking ethical leadership and employee performance.
