Structure of the ISW1a complex bound to the dinucleosome.

Nucleosomes are basic repeating units of chromatin and form regularly spaced arrays in cells. Chromatin remodelers alter the positions of nucleosomes and are vital in regulating chromatin organization and gene expression. Here we report the cryo-EM structure of chromatin remodeler ISW1a complex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae bound to the dinucleosome. Each subunit of the complex recognizes a different nucleosome. The motor subunit binds to the mobile nucleosome and recognizes the acidic patch through two arginine residues, while the DNA-binding module interacts with the entry DNA at the nucleosome edge. This nucleosome-binding mode provides the structural basis for linker DNA sensing of the motor. Notably, the Ioc3 subunit recognizes the disk face of the adjacent nucleosome through interacting with the H4 tail, the acidic patch and the nucleosomal DNA, which plays a role in the spacing activity in vitro and in nucleosome organization and cell fitness in vivo. Together, these findings support the nucleosome spacing activity of ISW1a and add a new mode of nucleosome remodeling in the context of a chromatin environment.

Organisational Culture and Technology Orientation on Strategic Fitin Retail Business: The Mediating Role of Economic Sustainability

Purpose: The present research investigates the effect of organisational culture and technology orientation on strategic fit with the mediating role of economic sustainability.Methodology: A questionnaire-based survey method was employed to collect empirical data from 124 owner-managers of the small retail business in Nigeria. The study used the partial least squares structural equation modelling enabled by SmartPLS 4 to test the model's accuracy.Findings: The findings demonstrated that organisational culture and technology orientation has a favourable influence on strategic fit. Similarly, the research indicated that organisational culture has a significant impact on economic sustainability. On the other hand, the impact of technology orientation on economic sustainability was negative and insignificant. In addition, the results demonstrate that economic sustainability has a direct positive influence on strategic fit. Finally, economic sustainability partially mediates the role between organisational culture and strategic fit, but there is no mediation between technology orientation and strategic fit. Originality/value: This is research that incorporates strategic approaches (organisational culture, technology orientation and economic sustainability to examine their impact on strategic fit) within the small retail business in Nigeria. Furthermore, the role of economic sustainability as a mediator between organisational culture, technology orientation, and strategic fit is relatively new in literary works. This study proved the reliability and validity of organisational culture and technology orientation on strategic fit in Nigeria, a developing country.

‘The Devil I Know’: Explaining Police Officer Intention to Transfer to Another Department

Abstract Police workforce management has persisted as a major organizational concern. Numerous compelling historical and organizational factors have contributed to smaller numbers of qualified or even interested applicants for police agencies to choose from, and disrupted police career longevity and even police services overall. To address their staffing needs, a growing number of organizations have increasingly shifted their focus to recruiting existing sworn and experienced officers from other departments. While there is increasing concern about officers transferring across organizations, little research has examined officer intentions to move laterally within the police profession, why officers choose to stay or leave, and the implications for staffing. Using theories of cross-organizational turnover from career psychology and a robust sample of more than 600 officers from 8 police agencies, this paper explores the impact of compensation, organizational values, perceptions of supervisors, and career advancement opportunities on officers’ intentions to pursue lateral transfers. Results indicated that compensation had limited influence on intentions to leave and that organizational characteristics exhibited much stronger relationships. Suggestions for keeping officers and assisting recruits in finding their potential organizational fit, impressions of the trajectory of this trend, and implications for theory and practice are offered.

Examining the roots of turnover intentions in the Royal Norwegian Navy, the role of embeddedness, work-life conflict and predictability

Abstract Retaining qualified personnel is a priority for armed forces, and turnover presents a serious problem. This study uses job embeddedness theory to investigate embeddedness factors, predictability and work–life conflict as predictors of turnover intentions in commissioned officers (COs) and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) in the Royal Norwegian Navy. The study posits that career prospects, community fit, organisational fit and organisational links embed personnel and are associated with a reduction in turnover intentions. In addition, the study proposes a mechanism whereby personnel who experience a predictable work schedule have better work–life balance and subsequently lower turnover intentions. Predictability in turn is hypothesised to be associated with the possibility of flexible hours. Using structural equation modelling, we find that embeddedness factors predicted turnover intentions for both personnel categories, but career prospects were the only significant embeddedness factor for NCOs. Predictability was associated with a reduction in turnover intentions via work–life conflict for both groups. In addition, flexible hours showed an effect on work–life conflict for both groups, but through different mechanisms. Overall, the results point to differential actions to reduce turnover between COs and NCOs in the armed forces and conclude with a priority list for actions to reduce turnover in each personnel group.

Insights from defining nurses' career success: An integrative review.

To review the literature and identify factors that make sense of and influence nurses' career success. We sought to provide insights into achieving nurses' career success. An integrative review conducted in May 2022 using Whittemore and Knafl's methodology of integrative review. The databases searched were PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and CINAHL. Search criteria included the keywords "nurs*" and "career success" in the title and abstract. The quality of the reviewed papers was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for cross-sectional studies and qualitative research. We extracted five types of information from quantitative studies: the definition of career success, factors of career success instruments, reliability or validity of career success instruments, and factors influencing nursing career success. Furthermore, we extracted two types of information from qualitative studies: themes that imply career success and factors that influence nurses' career success. Primary data were categorized into two perspectives: (1) what nurses' career success means and (2) what influences nurses' career success. Categorized data were unified into similar contents. Themes were developed from unified subgroups. Fourteen studies were included in the analysis. Seven themes were integrated into the factors that make sense of nurses' career success: satisfaction, positive attitude towards work, quality work in nursing, continuation of career and professional development, positive interaction at work, person-organization fit, and enrichment of an individual's life. Three themes were integrated into the factors influencing nursing career success: personal resources, positive behavior toward nursing work and research, and job resources and environment. Patients or members of the public were not involved in this review.

Exploring the impact of regional characteristics on social incubators’ mission, structure and activity: a contingency perspective

ABSTRACT Studies of social incubators illustrate the importance of these organizations in promoting social innovations and entrepreneurship at regional level. However, little is known about the main categories of contingency factors that influence the organizational design and fit of social incubators. We apply a comparative case study methodology to analyse the mission, structure and activity of four pioneer social incubators, located in Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Romania. Our findings reveal four categories of regional contingency factors – social needs, institutional framework, entrepreneurial ecosystem and socio-economic characteristics – that influence the design of the incubators’ mission, structure and activity and determine the achievement of organizational fit. By employing a contingency lens, we propose a dynamic model that explains the interdependence between the social incubators’ profiles and specific regional contingencies.

When relational transparency backfires: examining the various impacts of authentic leadership on employee trust during the COVID-19 pandemic

PurposeThis study examines how the different attributes of authentic leadership influence trust and employee organization fit and how such influences differ by gender and the level of positions during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a survey to examine US employees' perceptions toward different attributes of authentic leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsThe study showed that self-awareness, balanced processing and internalized moral perspective positively relate to trust in the employer, mediated through employee–organization fit. However, relational transparency has a backfiring effect, negatively related to trust through the mediation of employee–organization fit. Additionally, this study highlights the differences in gender and level of positions in reactions to authentic leadership.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the understanding of internal public relations in a turbulent crisis time by proposing a mediated model that explains the effects of authentic leadership on employees' trust through their fit with the organization. Additionally, it identified that gender and position level are important factors moderating such effects.

The Role of Organizational Compatibility in Mediating and Moderating Knowledge-Oriented Leadership on Employee Performance

Purpose: This study aims to identify and analyze the role of organizational fit in mediating and moderating knowledge-oriented leadership on employee performance. Theoretical framework: Research on the factors that influence employee performance has been carried out a lot. Organizations need to seek the application of knowledge-oriented leadership and organizational compatibility as important factors affecting employee performance. This leadership encourages innovation, creativity, and continuous learning, so that it can improve employee performance in the long term, (Ismail Al‐Alawi, Yousif Al‐Marzooqi and Fraidoon Mohammed, 2007; Hermastho, 2021). Furthermore, organizations that have a high level of compatibility tend to have employees who are more satisfied and motivated in doing their jobs, (Kristof, 1996; Hidayat, Tjahjono and Fauziyah, 2017). Design/methodology/approach: The object of this research is the Padang City Regional Secretariat Office with a total of 222 respondents. The research data is primary data collected through questionnaires relating to all research variables. The research model is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) by processing data using smart pls 3. Findings: The results of the hypothesis conclude, knowledge-oriented leadership has a strong and significant effect on organizational suitability and employee performance at the Padang City Regional Secretariat. The mediating effect of organizational fit is a factor that strengthens employee performance. However, organizational compability does not moderate the influence of Knowledge Oriented Leadership on employee performance. Research, Practical & Social implications: Research findings can be useful for organizations to maximize knowledge-oriented leadership and organizational compatibility to improve employee performance, both directly and indirectly. Originality/value: Organizational Compatibility is an important factor in strengthening or mediating knowledge-oriented leadership to improve employee performance. However, Organizational Compatibility does not moderate knowledge-oriented leadership to improve performance. This is due to the suitability of the characteristics between the organization and employees is not fulfilled either in quantity or quality.

CSR employer branding, organisational identification, person–organisation fit and employee retention: a dual mediation model

PurposeCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is gaining recognition and value among researchers, academicians and business professionals. Drawing on theories of social identity and person–organisation fit, the present research propounds a model that investigates the role of CSR branding in influencing employee retention.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on primary survey data from 348 employees working in organisations in the Indian industrial hubs. The study uses the regression and PROCESS macro model to analyse relationship among study variables.FindingsThe study indicated how CSR initiatives could help organisations handle the threat of high turnover storm all over the world, thereby retaining the employees with a high set of skills. Moreover, the paper connotes that employee retention is influenced directly by CSR branding as well as indirectly under the presence of organisational identification and person–organisation fit (mediators).Practical implicationsResults suggest the role of a positive identity and a mutual fit as significant predictors of employee retention. The implications for future research on CSR, employees' stay intentions, employees' identification and value congruence are further discussed in light of the findings.Originality/valueThe novelty of this research insists on shedding light on the indirect mechanisms linking CSR to employee retention that has been overlooked so far, particularly in the Indian setting; studies on an integrated model of organisational identification and person–organisation fit are limited.

Intergenerational mobility through inhabited meritocracy: Evidence from civil service examinations of the early- and mid-Ming dynasty.

The civil service examination system emerged to strengthen the emperor's power by recruiting political elites through open examinations. Did it, during the early- and mid-Ming dynasty, facilitate intergenerational mobility? Rather than oversimplifying it as a single-stage system of meritocracy, we propose a two-stage evaluation framework. In the first stage, the Metropolitan Exam featured merit-based evaluations and generated credentials necessary for becoming political elites. The subsequent non-eliminating Palace Exam then functioned to assess the students' organizational fit in line with an emperor's political calculations. In particular, those whose families served in the bureaucracy were favored, while those from affluent families were discriminated against. We test this two-stage framework using the records of 12,427 students who passed 46 exams between 1400 and 1580, a period characterizing the heyday of this system. Our empirical findings from the mixed-effect regression models confirm this argument and suggest promising directions for future research.
