SEM Analysis of Contractor Performance in Accelerating Electrical Construction Project: Insights from Herzberg's Dual Factor Theory

In the rapidly developing electrical construction industry, the success of organizations is directly linked to the performance of their business partners. This study focuses on Indonesia's state-owned electrical enterprises, where a notable decline in Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) has raised concerns, hypothesizing that deficiencies in contractor performance are a major barrier to the timely completion of electrical construction projects. At the core of this issue is the role of human resources, identified as a pivotal factor in contractor performance that directly impacts project completion. The aim of the research is to elucidate the complex dynamics between motivator and hygiene factors, which are fundamental to Herzberg's dual factor theory, and their impact on the performance of the contractor's employees. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study analyzes data from questionnaires distributed to 250 industry professionals. The analysis provides key insights into how these factors significantly influence job satisfaction and, ultimately, employee performance. These insights play a critical role in strategically planning contractor management practices. By emphasizing the need to understand the key factors driving employee satisfaction and performance, the study lays a solid foundation for designing effective employment contracts and management strategies. The practical implications of this research are significant, offering a pathway for contractors to enhance employee satisfaction and performance. This ultimately leads to the delivery of high-quality electrical infrastructure projects efficiently and promptly, underlining the study's relevance and importance in the contemporary industrial landscape.

The role and legal significance of fixed-term labor contracts in the socio-economic conditions of modern Russia

Co-construction: A key to preventing mental health injuries in occupational settings

Co-construction: A key to preventing mental health injuries in occupational settings Dr Mélanie Dufour-Poirier from the Université de Montréal and Dr Jean-Paul Dautel from the Université du Québec en Outaouais outline a new approach to preventing workplace mental health injuries and improving wellbeing. In Canada, it is estimated that mental health-related costs total approximately $50bn annually. In the province of Quebec, close to one out of two workers has experienced psychological distress since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amongst its pathogens are the porosity of working time, isolation, competition among colleagues, and the demand for short-term profitability. New - more stressful - forms of work organization, including telework, have emerged, bringing with them excessive workloads, increases in the pace of work, growing job flexibility, precarious contract employment, and job insecurity. These issues have put workplace mental health back at the centre of the debate in Quebec. More generally, the crisis has called for a rethinking of management methods for better upstream protection of mental health, ideally through a collective and participatory approach that involves all the actors in a working community rather than one that aims at protecting against and treating such mental health injuries on the level of the individual, as is the current tendency. It is an issue of the utmost importance for unions, a subject we discussed in a recent article (Open Access Government, April 2024).

Mediating power of career adaptability between decent work and quality of life: study with tourism independent workers

The promotion of decent work plays a central role in the transformation of tourism into a sustainable activity. The literature on this topic has multiplied, but it is imperative to pay more attention to workers in the potentially most vulnerable sectors, such as those without employment contracts and without formal higher education. The aim of this study on independent workers in tourism is to investigate how they perceive their work as decent and to analyze their quality of life. In addition, the study aims to analyze the mediating effect of career adaptability on the relationship between decent work and quality of life. The sample consists of 228 tourism workers in Portugal, mainly women, aged between 19 and 71 years. The results support the hypothesis that decent work can improve the quality of life of workers in the tourism industry. They also show that decent work is associated with a greater likelihood that workers are able and feel confident to adapt to changing tasks, to engage in continuous training and to manage their careers, which has a positive impact on their quality of life. The importance of prioritizing decent work and psychosocial resources to cope with the changing working and working conditions of the independent workers in the tourism sector in Portugal is discussed.

Fragmentation in the European and Inter-American Human Rights Courts Regarding the Scope of Religious Autonomy: An Analysis of the Use of Sources and Methodologies

ABSTRACT Fragmentation in International Human Rights Law (IHRL) may affect the universality of human rights norms and their legitimacy. This article analyses a recent case of contradiction between the European and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) regarding employment contracts of religious education teachers and the scope of religious autonomy. These courts reached contradictory conclusions on key substantive issues because they used different ways of framing the issue at stake, and different legal sources and interpretative methodologies. The analysis reveals that while the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) relied on the use of comparative law, a test of proportionality, and the margin of appreciation, the IACHR relied mainly on American domestic law and the opinions of two expert witnesses. In this case, the IACHR could learn from the approach of the ECHR to develop a more rigorous legal methodology in order to keep the coherence of the international legal system.

The Right Compensation System Balances Performance, Motivation and Willingness to Work on Daily and Contract Employees (Case Study in Manufacture Company PT. Wira Maju Bersama)

The manufacturing industry is faced with the challenge of designing an effective and fair compensation system for two distinct groups of employees: day and contract employees. The ideal compensation system should balance the performance, skills, motivation, and willingness to work of these two groups of employees. Compensation between employees is of course not the same value. This is because compensation is measured based on the level and performance of each employee. The problem that often arises is the openness of the company in providing compensation to each employee researchers also found that the existing compensation system is less effective in motivating employees and increasing the willingness to work on both groups of employees, namely daily and contract employees. The purpose of this study is to understand how the current compensation system affects the balance and know that compensation must be done in accordance with the hard work of employees. Compensation will also affect employee performance, meaning that appropriate compensation will make employees more motivated and willing to work harder, especially for daily and contract employees. The research method used is quantitative with data collection techniques through questionnaires given to 15 daily employees and 15 contract employees at PT Wira Maju Bersama. The results of this study showed that compensation and motivation have a positive and significant effect on the willingness to work and employee performance. Willingness to work also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously compensation and motivation affect the willingness to work and variable compensation, motivation, and willingness to work affect employee performance.

Exploring Termination of Employment Based on Serious Criminal Offences

There has not arisen any case laws post-Decision of the Constitutional Court No. 012/PUU-I/2003 and enactment of Article 52 paragraph (2) of Government Regulation No. 35 of 2021 to show how the Constitutional Court decision is being interpreted and applied by judges. The authors propose a future model for judges who will be adjudicating disputes in the Industrial Relations Court, that they may set aside rules which conflict with principles of law. The decision of the Constitutional Court stated that a reason for termination of employment due to serious violations pertaining to criminal acts perpetrated by workers as detailed in Article 158 of the Employment Law contradicting the 1945 Constitution having no binding force. Using normative legal research the authors argue that judges, based on several principles of law with independence of judiciary principle on their top, may disregard controversial regulation as the basis to justify the employment termination. It is argued as such, although the rule is still in full force as implementing law of a new Law on Job Creation. The new Law seemingly re-legalizes the right of employers to terminate employment due to acts of violation committed by workers as regulated in employment agreements, company regulations, or collective labor agreements. Based on the theory of Dignified Justice judges if any future disputes on termination of employment due to the controversial rule occurred may decide in favor of the employee based on important principles of law rather than the controversial rule. This will clarify the uncertainty of understanding among some circles that the Constitutional Court Decision could simply be annulled by Article 52 of Regulation No. 35 of 2021.

Insecure maternal employment and children's behaviour difficulties: Evidence from the longitudinal study of Australian children

Although a large body of research has documented the negative effects of insecure employment for adult workers, less is known about the consequences for their children's well-being. Our understanding of the mechanisms through which insecure maternal employment may affect children is particularly limited. This study examines the relationship between insecure maternal employment and child behaviour difficulties from the age of 4–16 using seven waves of data for nearly 5000 families from Growing Up in Australia: The Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Employing fixed effects models to account for unobserved time-invariant heterogeneity, we found that children whose mothers were casual contract employees or economically inactive had greater behaviour difficulties, on average, than their peers whose mothers were permanent employees. Maternal mental health and parenting, rather than household financial strain, contributed to explaining the association between insecure maternal employment and child behaviour difficulties. These results were more pronounced for younger children (up to the age of 12). This study contributes to the literature on the consequences of maternal employment insecurity for child mental health in high-income countries by clarifying the mechanisms behind this association.

Обмежені речові права на земельні ділянки сільськогосподарського призначення: стан і перспективи

The article is dedicated to the realization of limited property rights to agricultural land plots. The author thoroughly examines the regulatory and legal framework of this issue and its doctrinal elaboration. The problematic aspects related to the realization of limited property rights are highlighted. It is noted that the current legislation lacks a clear definition of “limited property rights,” but such a concept may emerge during the update of civil legislation. The scientific literature presents a moderate view on the legal nature of limited property rights, necessitating a summary of different perspectives. The author’s proactive proposals for amending the current legislation are a significant step towards eliminating the existing gaps and ensuring legal certainty in the regulation of the relevant relations. The author also establishes that in today’s environment, the variability of property rights in terms of their content comes to the fore, which calls into question the absolute nature of these rights. This circumstance necessitates a study of an actual contract or a dispositive transaction, given that they (these rights) may be the objects of such contracts or transactions, and this requires the development of a universal contractual basis for the establishment of property rights. It is proposed that within the framework of recodification of civil legislation and considering the peculiarities of the national legal system and the specifics of national legislation, it is possible to consider the introduction of such a structure since this will ensure an inevitable unification of national legislation with EU legislation. In this study, the author used legal analysis and synthesis, systemic and structural, and comparative legal and formal logical methods to analyse the relevant legislation and doctrine and propose amendments to civil legislation. Keywords: freedom of will of the parties to the employment contract; change of employment contract, employee, employer, labor relations, work, labor contract, parties of labor contract, transfer, transfer, change of essential working conditions, right to work.

Характеристика свободи волі працівника і роботодавця при зміні трудового договору під кутом комунікативної раціональності

The article aims to characterize the freedom of will of the employee and the employer when changing the employment contract from the perspective of communicative rationality. The author notes that the employee’s labor process during the exercise of his right to work at the employer’s enterprise, institution, or organization inevitably involves communication between the parties to the employment contract. Attention is focused on the development of legal regulation of relations with the realization of the right to work, which, with the development of society, was able to cover numerous collectives, uniting workers, and using work as a means of joint activity. It is proven that by being equal at the stage of concluding an employment contract and freely expressing their will, the employee and the employer do not lose this equality and this right to be in a legal relationship according to their will. This morality has acquired normativity thanks to the design of the modern content of the norm of Article 32 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine. It is concluded that the communication of the parties to the employment contract, which takes place during the production process, allows the employee and the employer to decide on further actions, to understand what is needed both to continue the efficiency of the enterprise and to open a new potential of these relations, and to direct the change of the employment contract precisely to it. Due to the manifestation of the free will of the parties to the employment contract, the boundaries of which are defined by the norms of the current legislation, built considering the moral-normative substance, identification of one’s place in the given legal relationship or outside of it for the nearest period takes place. The apparent meaning of the agreement as an agreement of the parties, which is the basis of the employment contract, determines the directions and algorithms for possible changes to the latter: with the consent of both parties, in the case of agreement of the conditions covered by the content of the employment contract, but not against the will of the other party, forcibly. Keywords: freedom of will of the parties to the employment contract; change of employment contract, employee, employer, labor relations, work, labor contract, parties of labor contract, transfer, transfer, change of essential working conditions, right to work.
