The study examines the employment and livelihood challenges encountered by the informal handloom weavers of Odisha due to the Coronavirus pandemic and subsequent lockdown. For this purpose, primary data have been collected from 435 active handloom weaving households in the Bargarh district of Odisha through a multistage random sampling method. A semi-log multiple regression model has been employed to find out the major factors contributing to the income loss of the handloom weavers. The findings show that acute financial constraints, huge income loss and unemployment have been experienced by the handloom weavers. The regression analysis reveals that the variables like firm size, indebtedness status, unemployment status, source of secondary income, social category and production-marketing systems significantly contributed to the income loss of the weavers during the COVID-19 lockdown. In the absence of a proper income and employment cushion, most of the handloom weavers borrowed money and survived on governments’ Corona relief measures. However, these assistances were scanty in nature and could not help the weavers to withstand the employment and income crisis. At this time, supplementary policy measures in the form of weavers’ specific government schemes with wide coverage and outreach will be helpful for the handloom weavers to revive from the crisis.

The capacity for innovation is a key component required for companies to generate added value and to expand into new markets. In this regard, it is important to find factors that improve the capacity for innovation. One such credible factor is psychological capital. This article aims to examine the influence of psychological capital on innovation capacity. An empirical study, based on data collected from 520 employees of banking institutions in Peru, was carried out to this end. Our results revealed the positive and significant influence of psychological capital on innovation capacity. Based on dimensions of psychological capital, it was found that self-efficacy and optimism positively influenced the capacity for radical innovation. Likewise, optimism and hope were found to positively influence the capacity for incremental innovation, but resilience had no positive influence on either radical innovation or incremental innovation. This work provides business leaders with a deeper understanding of psychological factors that are deemed necessary to promote and improve innovation capacity in companies.

This article aims at investigating how the binary dummy-coded gender (female = 1, male = 0) and job position (operator = 1, supervisor = 0) moderate the direct relationship between compensation practice and organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) in the ready-made garments manufacturing industry of Bangladesh. The present study employed the PLS-SEM (partial least square-structural equation modelling) technique to test the reliability and validity (convergent and discriminant) of the measurement scales and to verify the study hypotheses. The study used SPSS version 20 for descriptive analysis and SmartPLS version 3.3.9 for inferential statistical analysis. The results of this cross-sectional study of 121 employees revealed the significant moderating effect of gender and job position in the positive relationship between compensation practice and OCB. The study results also evidenced that the positive relationship between compensation practice and OCB showed stronger for female employees compared to males. Besides, the results equally confirmed that the compensation practice–OCB relationship became stronger for operator-level employees than supervisors. Findings are discussed in consistency with the previous studies and suggestions for future researchers and practitioners are highlighted at the end of this study.
