Corporate companies’ websites recruitment in advanced countries is well established. However, lesser is known about the Malaysian students and employed jobseekers’ intention to apply for jobs on the corporate companies’ websites. Therefore, this study aims to assess the subjective perceptions of these two groups’ intentions to apply for jobs on the websites. This study also aims to analyse the mediating effect of organisational image on perceived person-job fit (P-J fit) and perceived website usability (PWSU) which may be moderated by these two groups of jobseekers’ intentions. The conceptual model was first analysed using two-level confirmatory factor analysis. Adopting Hayes’ Model 7 template, AMOS software was used to differentiate the two groups’ perceptions. The results indicate that the perceived P-J fit and PWSU are the main factors influencing jobseekers’ intentions to apply for jobs on corporate websites. The moderated mediation technique has identified an indirect effect between perceived P-J fit and the intention to apply for jobs indicating the importance of established organisational image that it arouses applicants’ pursuit intention. Thus, the corporate human resource managers need to ensure the sites are designed for easy navigation and job advertisements that contain updated job information and realistic job preview. Using this platform, companies can reduce costs and time for the recruitment of talents. This study provides the subjective perceptions of jobseekers’ intention study and it contributes to the first component of Planning Theory of Intention. Lastly, this research also contributed to an alternate research method of analysing the moderated mediation using AMOS.
发达国家的企业网站招聘已经很成熟。然而，马来西亚学生和求职者在公司网站上申请工作的意图却鲜为人知。因此，本研究旨在评估这两个群体在网站上求职意向的主观感受。本研究亦旨在分析组织形象对个人-工作契合度(P-J契合度)和网站可用性(PWSU)的中介作用，这些中介作用可能受到两组求职者意向的调节。首先使用两水平验证性因子分析对概念模型进行分析。采用Hayes’s Model 7模板，运用AMOS软件对两组认知进行区分。结果表明，职位匹配感和工作能力是影响求职者在企业网站求职意向的主要因素。经调节的中介技术发现，知觉的P-J契合度与求职意向之间存在间接影响，表明已建立的组织形象在激发求职者追求意向方面的重要性。因此，企业人力资源经理需要确保网站的设计易于浏览，招聘广告包含最新的工作信息和现实的工作预览。利用这个平台，企业可以减少招聘人才的成本和时间。本研究提供了求职者意向研究的主观认知，为意向规划理论的第一部分做出了贡献。最后，本研究还为使用AMOS分析有调节中介的替代研究方法做出了贡献。

This study aims to investigate the moderating effect of perceived remaining time on the relationship between job demands and job stress. Using the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory to explain the moderation effect, we argue that the relationship between job demands and job stress is weakened by perceived remaining time. Data were collected using online survey on public sector employees from 32 government institutions in Indonesia (N = 220). Data were analysed using Hayes’ PROCESS macro on SPSS software. Results showed that perceived remaining time moderated the relationship between job demands and job stress, such that the relationship was positive and higher when perceived remaining time was low than when perceived remaining time was high. Theoretical and practical implications are further discussed.
本研究旨在探讨感知剩余时间对工作需求与工作压力关系的调节作用。利用资源守恒理论解释工作压力和工作需求之间的调节效应，我们认为工作需求和工作压力之间的关系被感知剩余时间所削弱。数据是通过对印度尼西亚32个政府机构的公共部门雇员(N = 220)的在线调查收集的。数据分析采用SPSS软件上的Hayes ' s PROCESS宏。结果表明，感知剩余时间调节了工作需求与工作压力的关系，当感知剩余时间较低时，工作需求与工作压力的关系显著高于感知剩余时间较高时。进一步讨论了理论和实践意义。

Private universities are growing in the present era. The enrollment ratio is also getting high, and universities are putting efforts to attract more students. Hence, it is essential to provide students with the best quality services as it spreads positive word-of-mouth. Therefore, the present article is designed to study the impact of front-desk staff service quality on word-of-mouth through the mediating effect of students’ affective commitment and students’ trust. An online questionnaire survey was conducted in Karachi, Pakistan. This study used the partial least square method to run structural equation modeling analysis. The findings revealed that all paths show a positive and significant relationship except front-desk staff service quality and word-of-mouth. Moreover, students’ affective commitment and trust mediate the relationship between front-desk staff service quality and word-of-mouth. Results also illustrate that gender exerts a significant moderating role on front-desk staff service quality, students’ affective commitment, and word-of-mouth. The study provides practical implications for policymakers, private university management, and educational institutions. Firstly, it is crucial to provide effective communication training to the front-desk staff to learn the basic etiquette of greetings and humbleness. Secondly, there must be experienced personnel who can assist students promptly.

Strategy management implementation (SMI) in developing countries studies is becoming an exciting topic; however, there is a barrier to collect data. Furthermore, a possible mechanism relying on SMI in administration history has acknowledged limited empirical consideration. This paper examined the implication of the implementation style and middle management efforts in the relationship between SMI and organisational performance (OP). Data were collected on a sample of 212 Togolese administrators in eight ministries through structured questionnaires. In contrast to earlier studies in industrialised countries within the context of modernisation and democratisation, which suggested that the logical (M1) or logical-incremental (M3) style(s) is locus to drive changes and enhance OP, the finding revealed that the application of incremental style (M2) was associated with better OP than M1 or M3. Public organisations characterised by traditional bureaucracy and lack of administrative reform program implementation opted for M1 will likely strand and decrease performance.

Despite their significant growth, Islamic banks only consider about avoiding riba, gharar, and maysir at the expense of maqasid al-Shariah. The banks are somewhat converged with their conventional peers. Consumers believed that the banks imitate their peers pertinent to the pricing calculations and product lines. Without effective measure, consumers may discern Islamic banks undermine their maqasid objective and continued critics of mimicking their peers are prolonged. Against this backdrop, this study examines consumer preference using a proposed index known as the Maqasid Consumer Preference Index (MCPi). Drawing upon the MCPi, the present study examines consumer preference for six Islamic banks operated in Malaysia to which Islamic home financing products are presently made available. Our data were drawn from valid 450 usable questionnaires. The results obtained report that six Islamic banks relatively have a moderate index. Of these, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) is ranked first, followed by Maybank Islamic, CIMB Islamic whilst Kuwait Finance House is ranked last. This work examines a new approach to measure consumer preference using the MCPi. Our contributions are confined to these particular factors – educating customer, establishing justice, and promoting welfare in the context of Islamic home financing in Malaysia. Future works may provide a different perspective on these interrogations by considering new dimensions to extend the findings. Despite this concern, the results obtained offer improved insights for bank managers to manage Islamic home financing products effectively.

There are various factors, such as the use of growth hormones, chemical additives in animal feed, animal welfare, health issues, and environmental concerns, which have led to a steady increase in global consumption of organic meat. The literature on organic consumer behaviour recently focuses on emerging Asian markets, especially China’s most populous markets. This study aims to investigate the factors that affect Chinese consumers’ intention to purchase organic meat. Survey questionnaire method has been employed to collect the required data. The data were collected from 305 consumers from three different organic stores in Wuhan, China. The partial least structural equation modelling (PLS- SEM) has been employed to analyse the data. The findings revealed that the consumers’ attitude, health consciousness, food safety concern, and green self-identity are key factors in developing Chinese consumers’ intention to purchase organic meat. The findings further revealed that subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, meat characteristics, and organic knowledge about organic meat have a non-significant relationship in developing the consumers’ intention to purchase organic meat. It has been observed that the concept of organic meat has been less studied and less investigated. This study’s findings could help farm owners, market managers, advertising managers, food control authority officials, and all those related to meat business, in planning and executing future strategies to attract the maximum number of organic meat consumers in China.

This paper investigates the effect of enterprise risk management (ERM) implementation on the cost of capital (cost of debt [Cd], cost of equity [Ce], and weighted average cost of capital [WACC]) for the oil and gas industry. The research is conducted using panel data analysis from 2008?2017 for 41 oil and gas companies publicly listed on the Bursa Malaysia. ERM implementation data is collected from company annual reports, while the cost of capital data is obtained from Thomson Reuters DataStream. The results indicate that an increase in the level of ERM implementation reduces the cost of capital, which we argue is one mechanism through which ERM increases firm value. Future research can use our investigation to delve deeper into ERM and value creation topics.

Employees are one of the most important stakeholders in organisations but their interests are often neglected by employers, particularly from the perspective of trade unionism that plays an essential role in safeguarding employee interests. Currently, the existing legislation has discouraged trade union activities and this has directly deprived the employees of their rights for a better working conditions at the workplace. There is also an evidence of anti-union actions taken by employer in recognition claims in order to prevent collective bargaining with trade unions. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an important tool in an organisation where the interests of the stakeholders is sustained. This paper investigates the relationship between employer’s CSR practice and its role in reforming recognition process of trade union in Malaysia. Qualitative research is employed to achieve the objective of this study by way of analysing secondary data and conducting legalistic analysis of the case law and statutes related to the issue. Based on the findings of this study, it is found that trade union recognition process can be reformed through integrating CSR practice in the organisation.

This conceptual paper aims to investigate corporate social responsibility (CSR) practises in the tourism sector. Drawing on the existing literature this study conceptualises the linkage between CSR, sustainability governance, and sustainable performance. Moreover, this study conceptualises three sub-dimensions of CSR. The integration of CSR in the tourism sector is significant and novel. An analytical review is conducted to present conceptual linkage and research implications. The finding implies that CSR positively influences the sustainable performance of organisations and sustainable governance plays a mediating role between relationships. This study provides important implications that help tourism industry practitioners to realise the significance of reducing environmental and social problems, which cause by tourism activities. Further, this study obtains support from institutional theory to explain the relationships of governance mechanism and CSR that leads to economic performance as well as create value for nature and the local community. Additionally, the future direction of research is provided that highlights some important avenues in the sustainability field.

E-commerce adoption is one of the most controversial subjects among small and medium enterprises (SME)s in Iran. The present study is conducted with the aim of identifying the most important factors in e-commerce adoption – reviewing the causal relationships and clustering them. To identify the most important factors, the data is collected by questionnaires filled by 95 experts who were chosen as researchers’ judgment. Examining the causal relationships among the studied factors and clustering is done by fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and interpretive structural modelling (ISM) techniques respectively. Data is collected from 12 experts and analysed by MATLAB and EXCEL software. According to the results, government support as one of the causal factors among critical factors effecting on e-commerce adoption is the highest influential factor, along with cost of public’s training. Both factors are put into the first cluster. Moreover, organisational flexibility plays an intermediate role between the first and the third cluster.

To identify the most important factors, the data is collected by questionnaires filled by 95 experts who were chosen as researchers’ judgment. Examining the causal relationships among the studied factors and clustering is done by fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and interpretive structural modelling (ISM) techniques respectively. Data is collected from 12 experts and analysed by MATLAB and EXCEL software. According to the results, government support as one of the causal factors among critical factors effecting on e-commerce adoption is the highest influential factor, along with cost of public’s training. Both factors are put into the first cluster. Moreover, organisational flexibility plays an intermediate role between the first and the third cluster.","PeriodicalId":44777,"journal":{"name":"Asian Academy of Management Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46891815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
