Relationship Between Job Satisfaction, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility (Deia) Issues, And Turnover Intention, Mica Hunter
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Federal leaders are concerned about rising turnover intentions and low job satisfaction among employees, particularly in relation to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) issues. These challenges pose a threat to organizational stability, reduce productivity, and hinder the federal government’s ability to retain diverse talent and fulfill its mission effectively. Grounded in Frederick Herzberg's two-factor theory, the purpose of this quantitative ex post facto correlational study was to examine the relationship between job satisfaction, DEIA issues, and turnover intention within federal agencies. The participants were 254 federal employees who completed the 2023 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. The results of the …

Employee Engagement Within The E-Commerce Industry, Kwami Seyram Dzahini
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Employee engagement poses a significant challenge for human resources (HR) managers in the e-commerce industry. Employees experiencing engagement issues may demonstrate lower commitment and heightened workplace incivility, ultimately affecting business profitability. Grounded in the employee engagement theory, the purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between work-life balance, professional growth, and employee engagement initiatives within U.S. e-commerce companies. The study involved 72 HR managers and full-time employees from the Eastern U.S. region, who participated in an online survey. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results were statistically significant, F(2, 69) = 12.475, p < .001, R² = .266, indicating that the model accounted for 26.6% of the variance in employee engagement. Professional growth emerged as a significant predictor of employee engagement, t = 2.62, p = .011, ß = 0.36. A key recommendation for e-commerce HR managers is to monitor engagement levels through surveys, feedback sessions, and performance indicators. Analyzing trends in employee retention, absenteeism, and productivity can allow leadership to make data-driven decisions and adjust strategies as needed. The implications for positive social change include the potential for HR leaders to enhance the value and satisfaction of employees, improve retention, and foster a more productive workforce that contributes positively to the overall health of the e-commerce industry and broader economy.
