Purpose– The prime objective of this article is to revisit the role of Workers Participation Committee (WPC) and discover how and where WPC has been playing an active role in the Ready-Made Garment (RMG) Industry in Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach– This study has extensively reviewed the journal articles, documents prepared by international organizations and thesis works of researchers that have been published in the reputed journals and online sources. Findings– This study finds that WPC has active roles to play in the issues related to labor standards and the issues related to labor rights. Moreover, WPC has the ability to establish mutual trust and harmonious relationship between the workers and employers by resolving industrial dispute. Research limitations- This is a conceptual paper which suffers to observe the reality from the ground. This study will invoke many scholars to conduct empirical studies in the future to evaluate the reality of the functions that WPC can play independently at the organizational level in Bangladesh. Practical implications– This study contributes significantly to the existing literature of WPC, especially in the RMG industry. This study also has implication as the future reference to conduct empirical assessment in terms of WPC’s roles and legislative reformation. Originality/value– As far as originality is concerned, very few research effort has been made before to revisit the role of WPC in the RMG industry in Bangladesh.
目的-本文的主要目的是重新审视工人参与委员会(WPC)的作用,并发现WPC在孟加拉国成衣(RMG)行业中如何以及在何处发挥积极作用。设计/方法/方法-本研究广泛审查了期刊文章、国际组织准备的文件和研究人员在知名期刊和在线资源上发表的论文。研究结果:本研究发现,在劳工标准及劳工权益相关议题上,木委会发挥了积极的作用。此外,工信会有能力通过解决劳资纠纷,在劳资双方之间建立相互信任和和谐的关系。研究局限性-这是一篇概念性的论文,难以从地面观察现实。本研究将在未来召集许多学者进行实证研究,以评估孟加拉国WPC在组织层面上独立发挥作用的现实情况。实际意义-本研究对WPC的现有文献,特别是RMG行业的文献做出了重大贡献。本研究也为今后在WPC的作用和立法改革方面进行实证评估提供了参考。原创性/价值——就原创性而言,之前很少有研究人员重新审视木塑在孟加拉国RMG行业中的作用。

Purpose: The study showed the impact of digitalization on the economic growth of Bangladesh. Methodology: The researcher used secondary data to analyze the relationship between variables. Linear regression analysis was used to estimate the effect of explanatory variables and explained variable. For performing statistical analysis, STATA programming environment was used to this study. Telecommunication infrastructure index and online service index were used as explanatory variables. GDP growth rate used as explained variable. Findings: The regression result showed the significant and positive impact of telecommunication infrastructure index and online service index on GDP growth rate. The variable explained was 86.6%, which was higher and indicate that these variable effect mostly on the GDP growth rate. Due to data insufficiency, the researcher cannot compare network readiness index and GDP growth rate. However, the study has found that there is significant level growth of the network readiness index and GDP growth rate. Further, the study should be conducted with more data and other variables. Practical Implications: A developing country like Bangladesh, an appropriate infrastructure policy will helpful for all stage of development, that will drive the process of economic development. Policymakers should give sufficient support to establish the digital infrastructure. Originality: The study found that in Bangladesh digitalization indicators have been more effective effect on economic growth. Research Limitations: The limitation of the research is the generalization of the findings. Further researchers should conduct studies to find other variables that increase the impact digitalization.
目的:研究显示了数字化对孟加拉国经济增长的影响。研究方法:研究者使用二手数据分析变量之间的关系。采用线性回归分析估计解释变量和被解释变量的影响。为了进行统计分析,本研究使用了STATA编程环境。以电信基础设施指数和网络服务指数为解释变量。GDP增长率作为被解释变量。结果发现:回归结果显示电信基础设施指数和网络服务指数对GDP增长率有显著的正向影响。被解释的变量为86.6%,较高,说明这些变量主要影响GDP增长率。由于数据不足,研究者无法将网络就绪指数与GDP增长率进行比较。然而,研究发现,网络就绪指数和GDP增长率都有显著的水平增长。此外,研究还需要更多的数据和其他变量。现实启示:像孟加拉国这样的发展中国家,适当的基础设施政策将有助于发展的各个阶段,这将推动经济发展的进程。政策制定者应该给予足够的支持来建立数字基础设施。独创性:研究发现,在孟加拉国,数字化指标对经济增长的影响更为有效。研究局限性:研究的局限性在于研究结果的一般化。进一步的研究人员应该进行研究,以发现增加数字化影响的其他变量。

Purpose– This research aims to investigate the relationship between Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM), Traditional Human Resource Practices (THRP), and Job Satisfaction (JS) in the context of Bangladeshi service-providing organizations. Design/methodology/approach– This study employs the positivism paradigm using a cross-sectional survey with the help of a structured questionnaire having five points Likert scale. Using the snowball sampling technique total of 202 questionnaires were collected from the service-providing organizations (Restaurants, Insurance, Telecommunication, Bank, and Transport) operating in the Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh. To analyze, the surveyed data structural equation modeling approach is used for this study. The measurement model of this study is assessed based on the relationship between the indicators and the latent variables using the partial least square technique. Findings– This study finds that practicing SHRM has a significant positive relation with the JS which leads the organization to achieve its success but different findings regarding the relations of THRP with JS. Research limitations- This study has limitations in terms of cross-sectional design, the number of measurement items, sample size, and sampling technique which may suffer the generalisability of the results. Practical implications– The findings of this study should help management to understand how organizational settings and policies can generate constructive means, which in turn enhance the alignment of THRP according to SHRM to bring JS into the organizations. Originality/value– This study will add to the human resource management literature by investigating the soundness of the SHRM, THRP, and JS relation in the service sectors in Bangladeshi which is relatively limited in the country under study.
目的-本研究旨在调查孟加拉国服务提供组织背景下战略人力资源管理(SHRM),传统人力资源实践(THRP)和工作满意度(JS)之间的关系。设计/方法/方法-本研究采用实证主义范式,采用横断面调查,并借助具有五点李克特量表的结构化问卷。采用滚雪球抽样技术,从孟加拉国拉杰沙希省的服务提供组织(餐馆、保险、电信、银行和运输)共收集了202份问卷。为了进行分析,本研究采用了调查数据结构方程建模方法。本研究的测量模型是基于指标与潜在变量之间的关系,使用偏最小二乘技术进行评估。研究结果-本研究发现,实施人力资源管理与JS有显著的正相关关系,导致组织取得成功,但关于THRP与JS的关系有不同的发现。研究局限性-本研究在横断面设计、测量项目数量、样本量和抽样技术方面存在局限性,可能会影响结果的通用性。实际意义-本研究的结果应该有助于管理层了解组织设置和政策如何产生建设性的手段,从而根据人力资源管理机制加强THRP的一致性,将JS带入组织。原创性/价值-本研究将通过调查孟加拉国服务部门的人力资源管理,THRP和JS关系的合理性来增加人力资源管理文献,这在研究中的国家相对有限。

Purpose: This study attempts to identify & significantly examine how corporate governance practices interact with non-performing loans in the banking sector of Bangladesh. Corporate governance (CG) is one of the significant factors that has gained considerable attention due to several rising scams in the banking sector. Recent global financial crisis as well as collapse of few local and global splendens entities like Bismillah Group, Hallmark, MCI Inc., and WorldCom etc. have strongly affected the banking sector globally that forced to rethink the overall banking structure. Methodology: The present study was descriptive in nature for which convenient sampling method was used to select the sample banks. Required data were collected from diversified data sources and tested with Microsoft Office (MS Excel). Findings: The study found that different persons and sectors like debased and dishonest bank officials of BB, top management and powerful political figures commonly affect the lending decisions. CG practices ought to be fortified as well as careful and tactful lending decisions must be ensured to stop credits turn bad. Practical Implications: Sometime, banks don't adhere to the principles and guidelines formulated by BB appropriately which are the constraints to operate business soundly. Each of the identified factors here ought to be analyzed cautiously so as to improve CG practices among the banks for fortifying the banking sector. Originality: Researchers tried to track down the relationship between CG practices and their effect on NPLs in BD perspective considering the financial data of respective entities. The present paper simply added some new nfluencing factors to the several prior works in this field which made it unique. Research Limitations: Researchers considered a limited part of the entire banking sector (only 12 of 61banks) which has shown a partial status of this sector. It would be possible to take private, specialized, Islamic and state-owned banks‘ data and make a comparison to show the desired real picture of CG practices and non-performing loans of the whole banking sector.
目的:本研究试图确定并显著检查公司治理实践如何与孟加拉国银行业的不良贷款相互作用。公司治理(CG)是一个重要的因素,已经获得了相当大的关注,由于几个上升的诈骗在银行业。最近的全球金融危机以及像Bismillah Group, Hallmark, MCI Inc.和WorldCom等少数本地和全球卓越实体的崩溃强烈影响了全球银行业,迫使人们重新思考整个银行业结构。方法:本研究为描述性研究,采用方便抽样方法选择样本库。从各种数据源收集所需数据,并使用Microsoft Office (MS Excel)进行测试。研究发现,不同的人和行业,如贬损和不诚实的银行官员,高层管理人员和强大的政治人物,通常会影响贷款决策。应该加强CG实践,同时必须确保谨慎和机智的贷款决策,以防止信贷变成坏账。实际影响:有时,银行没有适当遵守BB制定的原则和指导方针,这是制约业务健康经营的因素。这里确定的每一个因素都应该仔细分析,以便改善银行之间的CG实践,以加强银行业。原创性:研究人员试图从商业发展的角度,结合各自实体的财务数据,追踪CG实践及其对不良贷款的影响之间的关系。本文只是在前人研究的基础上增加了一些新的影响因素,使其具有独到之处。研究局限:研究人员考虑了整个银行业的有限部分(61家银行中只有12家),这表明了该行业的部分地位。可以将私人银行、专业银行、伊斯兰银行和国有银行的数据进行比较,以显示整个银行业的CG实践和不良贷款的理想真实情况。

PurposeThis study aims to identify demographic characteristics, personal attributes and attitudes and social support factors that adversely or favourably affect the likelihood of career persistence amongst women workers of the Indian IT sector.Design/methodology/approachThe research, grounded in the social cognitive career theory, analyses primary data collected from 850 women working in IT via a survey. Based on an original definition of career persistence, the sample was segregated into 427 persistent and 423 non-persistent women. Logistic regression was performed to test for the effect of various determinants on the likelihood of women being career persistent versus non-persistent.FindingsBeing married, having children, as well as high levels of belief in gender disadvantage and work–family conflict lowered the likelihood of career persistence amongst women. While being a manager, possessing high career identity, high occupational culture fit, positive psychological capital and family support boost the likelihood.Originality/valueThe study examines women's actual continuance in an IT career vis-à-vis exit from the workforce/IT field, rather than women's stated intent to persist/quit as previously investigated. It uses logistic regression to identify both hurdles and aids on the path of women's career persistence. The findings can help recognize women more likely to struggle, thus be a first step in targeted organizational interventions to plug a leaky talent pipeline.
目的:本研究旨在确定人口特征、个人属性、态度和社会支持因素,这些因素对印度IT部门女性员工职业坚持的可能性产生不利或有利的影响。设计/方法/方法该研究以社会认知职业理论为基础,分析了通过调查收集的850名从事IT工作的女性的原始数据。基于对职业坚持的原始定义,样本被分为427名坚持不懈的女性和423名不坚持不懈的女性。采用逻辑回归检验各种决定因素对女性职业持续与非职业持续可能性的影响。研究发现,结婚、有孩子,以及对性别劣势和工作家庭冲突的高度信念,降低了女性坚持职业生涯的可能性。而作为管理者,拥有较高的职业认同、较高的职业文化契合度、积极心理资本和家庭支持均可提高其可能性。独创性/价值该研究考察了女性在IT职业生涯中的实际延续情况,而不是-à-vis退出劳动力/IT领域,而不是像之前调查的那样,女性表示坚持/退出的意图。它使用逻辑回归来识别女性职业坚持道路上的障碍和帮助。这些发现有助于认识到女性更容易陷入困境,从而成为有针对性的组织干预措施的第一步,以堵住人才管道的漏洞。

PurposeGender diversity is known to trigger creative and relationship conflicts alike, the former a boon for innovation and the latter a bane. This study aims to explore the possibility of a gender mix that is “just right” for balancing the intensities of varied forms of conflict to boost innovation in firms in India. Specifically, this paper investigated the presence of an optimal level of women as a percentage of the firm’s full-time permanent employees (Percent-Women) that maximized the firm’s likelihood of product innovation (Product–Innovation–Likelihood).Design/methodology/approachLogistic regression analyses of firm-level data of Indian establishments of varied sizes and industries from World Bank Enterprise Surveys 2014 was performed. Instrumental variable addressed the potential endogeneity of Percent-Women.FindingsThe analysis demonstrated an inverted U-shaped relationship between Product–Innovation–Likelihood and Percent-Women. Product–Innovation–Likelihood peaked when Percent-Women lay between 35% and 58%, i.e. when the firm was gender-balanced or close to it.Practical implicationsThe finding of an optimal level of female inclusion presents to firms a defined target of gender mix to be achieved, failing to which they may be limiting their innovation potential. It compels firms to view gender diversity as a business imperative with definite implications for their long-term performance.Social implicationsFor India, the demonstrated relationship between workplace gender diversity and innovation brings additional reason and urgency to public initiatives, such as female literacy, for boosting female economic engagement. Innovation can power the next stage of the Indian growth story by engaging the heretofore insufficiently tapped female worker.Originality/valueBy demonstrating an optimal degree of female inclusion at which innovation potential peaks, the study reconciled opposing theories of diversity-driven conflicts and went beyond the commonly observed simple linear relationship between female inclusion and innovation. Further, the paper focused on India, a major developing economy with a vast female populace and growing innovation ambitions but scarcely researched for gender diversity’s role in innovation.
众所周知,性别多样性会引发创造性冲突和人际关系冲突,前者有利于创新,后者则是祸根。本研究旨在探索一种“恰到好处”的性别组合的可能性,以平衡各种形式冲突的强度,从而促进印度公司的创新。具体而言,本文研究了女性在公司全职永久员工中所占百分比(百分比-女性)的最佳水平,该水平最大化了公司产品创新的可能性(产品-创新-可能性)。设计/方法/方法对2014年世界银行企业调查中不同规模和行业的印度企业数据进行了逻辑回归分析。工具变量处理了百分比-女性的潜在内生性。结果分析表明,产品-创新-可能性和百分比-女性之间呈倒u型关系。当女性比例在35%到58%之间时,即公司性别平衡或接近平衡时,产品创新可能性达到顶峰。实践意义女性最优水平的发现为企业提供了一个明确的性别混合目标,如果没有达到这个目标,他们可能会限制他们的创新潜力。它迫使公司将性别多样性视为一项业务要务,对其长期业绩有明确的影响。对印度来说,工作场所性别多样性与创新之间的关系为促进女性经济参与的公共举措(如女性扫盲)提供了额外的理由和紧迫性。创新可以通过吸引迄今为止未得到充分利用的女性工人,为印度下一阶段的增长故事提供动力。独创性/价值通过证明女性包容的最优程度在创新潜力达到峰值时,该研究调和了多样性驱动冲突的对立理论,超越了通常观察到的女性包容与创新之间的简单线性关系。此外,这篇论文关注的是印度,一个拥有大量女性人口和不断增长的创新雄心的主要发展中经济体,但几乎没有研究性别多样性在创新中的作用。
