Does Nationality Affect Job Satisfaction?, Furqan Qamar, Talal Al Junaibi
Does Nationality Affect Job Satisfaction?, Furqan Qamar, Talal Al Junaibi
IIMB Management Review
Job satisfaction and the factors that contribute to it are well-researched phenomena. Despite this, however, theories of job satisfaction are still not well perfected. Research in the field falls into five categories based on the causes of satisfaction they seek to establish: need fulfilment models, discrepancy models, value attainment models, equity models and trait component models. The last category includes studies that investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and the cultural and ethnic background of employees. Studies in this area report contradictory findings. Furqan Qamar and Talal Al Junaibi survey the literature and find that though several studies have been …

Human Capital Valuation: An Improved Model, Deep Chatterjee, M Kalidas, Kaushik Kundu, Pankaj Gautam, Sumit Shantanu
IIMB Management Review
Human capital is one of the buzzwords of the knowledge society. The concept lay dormant for two centuries after Adam Smith first introduced it, but it was revived in the 1960s by American economists, such as Gary Becker and Jacob Mincer, who then exported it triumphantly around the world. Human capital is a beautifully unifying idea facilitating quantitative analyses. It is an excellent vehicle for framing policy discussions too, whether on schooling, training, or labor market performance. But companies differin the models they use to value human capital. An attempt has been made here to develop a model that can …

IIMB Management Review
The genesis of this article arises from a series of workshops titled 'Culture Beyond 2000' carried out by the author in a prominent manufacturing company, covering over 200 participants in groups of 25, over a 3-day period for each group. The context was the situation that arose on the induction of relatively new management staff into the new businesses of the company. The participants, mainly engineers and professionally qualified non technical staff averaged between 28 - 35 years. All belonged to the managerial cadre and 75% of the management staff were new to the company and were going into a …

IIMB Management Review
My career as a Human Resources manager had led me to specialising in HR in the telecom business, first with the Essar group, then with JT Mobiles and the Northern Telecom group in Singapore as a Resourcing Director. I saw that people mainly took time off during office hours to do personal jobs - small jobs like paying their bills or buying tickets. This took up a major chunk of their time and it cost the organisation. I began to realize how vital it was for companies to find new ways of retaining employees and helping them use their office …

The Indian Software Industry: What Makes For Commitment, Abhoy K Ojha
IIMB Management Review
The impact of the demographic characteristics of people on their work attitudes and organisational behaviour has been of interest to organisational theorists for a long time. While some studies have examined the impact of demographic characteristics on attitudes and behaviour, others have investigated the impact of the composition of these demographic characteristics on individual attitudes and behaviour, and organisational outcomes. Against the background of these studies, a study was conducted to examine the impact of demographic characteristics of software professionals on their organisational commitment

This book is a comprehensive study of stress and the effect it has on work life. The style of presentation is simple and therefore even a person not familiar with stress and its related theories can follow the text easily. The topic is extremely relevant and important in the context of the current style of living. Competitiveness in the work place has reached an all time high and has left its mark. To managers, this book offers suggestions on how to recognise stress inducing factors and deal with them. But, as Jex himself says, the study of occupational stress is …
Preventing Workplace Violence By Mark Braverman, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., T Ananthachari
Preventing Workplace Violence By Mark Braverman, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., T Ananthachari
IIMB Management Review
The workplace is in many ways the meeting ground for the employer and the employees. It can lead to mutual understanding, trust and a lasting fruitful collaboration to achieve the objectives of the company. On the other hand, it can result in confrontation with all the consequent negative outcomes to follow. It is obvious that one of the basic policies of every organisation should be to forge maximum possible understanding between the two. Even a minor incident, misunderstanding or communication gap between the managerial hierarchy and the individual employee can spark off a situation which could ultimately vitiate the atmosphere …

Dotcom: Classifying The New Animal, D Sampath
IIMB Management Review
During the 70s, computer communication technology was transformed by desktop computing and distributed capacity. Networks
based on the TCP/IP protocol (transmission control protocol and Internet protocol) started communicating with one another.
Internet control message protocol, a mechanism to transfer control messages between nodes, was developed to manage ARPANET (the US government's advanced research project networks). ARPANET started in 1969 and developed into the Internet in 1984 with the advent of UNIX and client/ server architecture. Data was transferred between networks in packet form through switches, routers, bridges, and gateways. From defence, the Internet found its application in educational institutions. Usenet …

Employee Commitment: An Overview, Gbolahan Gbadamosi
IIMB Management Review
Organisational commitment continues to be a topical issue in management research and of great relevance to the practising manager. The commitment of employees is obviously an area of interest in human resources management, the assumption being that employee commitment enhances performance and organisational effectiveness. Research findings and literature on organisational commitment provide some pointers and lessons for human resource managers, which would be well worth examining.

They also highlight the need for reframing the worker-management relationship or human resource policies by Indian companies in view of the new HR paradigms. Finally, the authors examine the impact of enabling technology on the organisations …

Psychology For Trainers: By Alison Hardingham, London: Universities Press, 1999, Vasanthi Srinivasan
IIMB Management Review
Trainer effectiveness is a critical dimension in successful training programmes. In recent times, a number of self-help and how-to books have tried to address some aspects of trainer effectiveness. The University Press series on ‘training essentials’ is an addition to the subject. The books in the series written by experts are intended to act as core readings for trainers who wish to obtain competency in the area of training. The current book differs from the other books in the series mainly in the emphasis. While most of the other books focus on the training function in the organisation (as evident …

Life will never be the same in the new millennium. Even more so in the case of advertising and public relations.

Round Table this time looks at some of these issues and suggests some leads. Anchored by Tara Sinha and Mithileshwar Jha, and with …

Positioning Hr To Create Value, Y Sriram
IIMB Management Review
The HA function today seems to vacillate along a broad spectrum. There are companies where the function has contributed conclusively to reaching business objectives, but in the majority of organisations it is relegated to the administrative routine. While it is true that the expectations from HA are often vague and undefined, the HA professional too must introspect on his/her role in the positioning of the function in organisations today. The best students in management schools do not opt for HA and most HA professionals who have done well for themselves early in their career want to change slots as HA …

The Indian experience with Outbound Programmes has clearly been a mixed one.With the initial euphoria passing over,managements are beginning to wonder if management development is getting to be more and more like branded potato chips - puffed up and pricey but the same old stuff inside. Indeed there is every possibility of the Outbound Programme going the way of all other bandwagons: into the clearance sale shelves of the management supermarket. Padaki and Venkatesh attempt to demystify Outbound Programmes (OP) and provide guidelines to organisations contemplating OP, on how to prepare for a worthwhile OP experience, what to look for …
Rethinking Rewards: Rewarding A And Hoping For B!, Abhoy K Ojha
Rethinking Rewards: Rewarding A And Hoping For B!, Abhoy K Ojha
IIMB Management Review
It would seem to be well established wisdom that if a particular behaviour is desired, that should be rewarded rather than any other behaviour. Based on a case study of two hospitals in a Canadian province, Abhoy Ojha concludes that in situations where it may not be practical to reward the desired behaviour, a related behaviour could be rewarded in order to elicit the behaviour desired. An adequate understanding of the complex relationship between rewards and behaviour may allow organisations to design systems that are seen to encourage one behaviour, but also elicit multiple other desirable behaviours.
