The Role Of Organisational Commitment In Mediating Work-Life Balance On Employee Performance

The current study proposed to examine the mediating role of organisational commitment dimensions in the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance at BPR Denpasar City, with assets exceeding 100 billion. With a sample of 249 employees, the research reveals a notable gap in prior studies regarding utilising organisational commitment dimensions as mediators. Questionnaires were used to gather data, which SEM-PLS analysis techniques were then used to process. The findings show that Work-life balance has a positive and significant impact on employee performance, affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. Affective, continuance and normative commitment significantly influence employee performance. Affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment mediate the results of work-life balance and employee performance.

The impact of environmental stimuli on the psychological and behavioral compliance of international construction employees.

This study explores the overlooked psychological and behavioral dynamics of employees in compliance management, applying the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework to assess environmental stimuli's impact on employees in international construction projects. A scenario-based survey involving 270 international construction employees was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA), focusing on the relationship between environmental stimuli and compliance intentions. Findings categorize environmental influences on compliance into internal and external organizational dimensions, highlighting the significant impact of internal factors on compliance intentions. Key determinants identified for high compliance intention include individual traits and organizational climate, while project pressures, rules and regulations, and cultural differences show variable influence. This study enhances the understanding of the psychological factors driving non-compliant behaviors and introduces a binary micro-ecological approach to compliance management, effectively integrating individual and project organizational elements. In contrast to traditional corporate governance approaches, this strategy emphasizes the role of project organizational micro-ecology in the management of international construction projects. The strategy aims to improve compliance management among international contractors by influencing the psychological and behavioral compliance of frontline employees.

Evaluation of The Implementation of The Laboratory Information System Using the Hot Fit Method in Maxima Clinical Laboratory

Evaluation of information systems in the health domain goes beyond exclusively technological considerations but also includes evaluation of human and organizational dimensions.

How to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Performance Management Systems? An Overview of the Literature and a Proposed Integrative Model

The purpose of this study is to propose an integrative model for evaluating the effectiveness of performance management system (PMS). This model aims to systematize the dimensions and criteria used in the literature and provide clarity in terms of evaluation possibilities. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to identify the dimensions, criteria, and causal relationships used in evaluating PMS effectiveness. A sample of 57 articles was analyzed using content analysis. The study established dimensions and criteria that have been neglected in the literature. The review resulted in the proposal of an integrative model for evaluating PMS effectiveness, which incorporates individual and organizational dimensions and criteria identified in the literature. It sheds light on recurrently adopted dimensions, particularly those related to individual-level phenomena, and seeks to clarify current conceptual ambiguities. This study’s originality lies in its integrative approach, which diverges from the prevailing tendencies in the field. This study provides clarity regarding the conceptual confusion surrounding ambiguous concepts and generically applied measures that hinder the drawing of certain conclusions about the effectiveness of PMS.

An examination of the relationship between sport performers’ organizational stressor dimensions, physical health, and well-being

ABSTRACT Whilst research has assessed the multidimensionality of organizational stressors, severity has been overlooked. This study aimed to develop and validate a severity response scale, before examining the relationship between organizational stressor severity, physical health, and well-being, and if severity mediated the relationship between stressor occurrence and outcomes. 403 sport performers (186 male; M age = 21.43) completed a questionnaire assessing study variables and data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Organizational stressor severity had a significant, negative relationship with physical health (r = -.374, p < .001), but notwith hedonic or eudaimonic well-being (p = .624 and .203). Direct effects were found for neuroticism (β = -0.632, p < .001) and stressor frequency (β = -0.226, p = .016) on physical health; however, when adding severity as a mediator, stressor frequency positively predicted stressor severity (β = 1.025, p < .001); however, the indirect effect of stressor frequency on physical health via stressor severity (β = -0.018, p = .885) and the direct effect between stressor frequency and physical health (β = -0.191, p = .204) were non-significant. These novel findings highlight that higher stressor severity is associated with higher physical health complaints, and that repeated exposure to stressors may heighten an vulnerability to future stressors.

The conclusions provide some policy recommendations concerning training and communication strategies. The prospects of urban warfare will be defined by a combination of cognitive and kinetic actions.

The data quality problem (in the European Financial Data Space)

Abstract By creating the European Financial Data Space (EFDS), the European Commission aims to foster the development of data-driven innovation in the financial sector. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the most notable innovation that could benefit from enhanced access to data through the EFDS. However, the current policy framework establishing the EFDS suffers from a major limitation—it neglects the question of data quality or whether the data shared in the EFDS will be fit for the purpose of the development of AI applications. The AI Act and General Data Protection Regulation could play a role in fostering data quality in this area, but the two frameworks are also unlikely to do that to a satisfactory extent. To address the data quality problem, this article proposes policymakers should develop a framework for data quality that encompasses both a conceptual and an organizational dimension aimed at promoting the free flow of high-quality data in the EFDS.

No-Restraint Committed General Hospital Psychiatric Units (SPDCs) in Italy-A Descriptive Organizational Study.

This study describes and explores the application of no-restraint policies in General Hospital Psychiatric Units (GHPUs) in Italy, a country pioneering in deinstitutionalization and psychiatric reform. The research aims to assess the organizational characteristics and effectiveness of no-restraint practices, contributing to the global discourse on humane psychiatric care. Following a purposive sampling approach, a nationwide descriptive study was conducted involving a detailed online survey distributed to 24 GHPUs actively engaged in or aspiring toward no-restraint practices. The survey, comprising 60 items across seven sections, gathered comprehensive data on the structural, organizational, and operational dimensions of the units, along with the prevalence and management of restraint episodes. Results reveal a significant commitment to no-restraint policies, with 14 GHPUs reporting zero restraint incidents in 2022. Despite variations in infrastructure and staffing, a common thread was the implementation of systematic procedures and risk management training aimed at reducing coercive practices. The study identified a correlation between the use of exclusive garden spaces and an increased incidence of restraints, suggesting nuanced factors influencing restraint practices. The findings underscore the viability and ethical alignment of no-restraint practices within psychiatric care, highlighting the crucial role of organizational protocols and training. This research adds empirical weight to the advocacy for restraint-free environments in mental health settings, signaling a paradigm shift toward more humane and rights-respecting psychiatric care.

Examining organizational collaboration and resource flows of disaster response system based on a time-dynamic perspective

Increasing the efficiency of organizational collaboration and resource flows is key to improving the emergency response performance. Given that previous studies did not consider the interactions and dynamic characteristics of emergency response organizations and resources, this study divided the emergency response into four stages and analyzed the relationship between organizational collaboration and resource flows by combining the network attributes of emergency response goals at each stage. The 2022 Luding earthquake was selected as a case study, and a multisource mixed data method was used to identify 381 organizations and 2496 organizational relationships. Using the social network analysis, the dynamic evolution characteristics of the emergency response networks (ERNs) and organization-resource two-mode networks were analyzed. The results showed that the ERNs generally exhibited the following trends: a more compact structure, balanced distribution, evolution from decentralization to centralization, and homogenous organizational collaboration. A correlation existed between changes in the organizational status and ERN attributes, with government organizations always at the core and non-profit organizations gradually rising. The evolution of the resources was closely related to the network attributes and organizational relationships. We identified the strengths of China's current emergency management system, such as enhanced performance, improved information infrastructure, and emphasis on the engagement of the military and social organizations. We recommend the following for future practice: enhancing the information technology system, establishing a mechanism for the participation of social forces, and strengthening the management of emergency stockpiles. These will help improve the disaster emergency management performance and reduce casualties and losses.

A comprehensive analysis of the influence of information technology on organizational management characteristics

The paper conducts a thorough investigation and broadens current academic and mainstream literature to deliver a comprehensive evaluation of how information technology (IT) impacts organizational characteristics and outcomes. First, drawing from the literature analysis, we delineate two key advantages of IT in enhancing performance: information efficiencies, which streamline processes, resource allocation along with information synergies, which foster collaborative environments as well as amplify the value derived from data integration and sharing across organizational domains. Following our discussion, we proceed to delineate the fundamental organizational outcomes that stem from the integration of IT, which encapsulate these inherent advantages. Following that, we research into the multifaceted impact of IT on managing the connection between various organizational attributes, including its pivotal role in fostering innovation, streamlining efficiency, facilitating information synergies and promoting effectiveness in interorganizational relationships. In our comprehensive exploration, we thoroughly investigate and analyze the attainment of strategic outcomes, the optimization of organizational efficiency, along with the fostering of innovation in the realm of information technology. Our examination extends beyond the positive aspects, as we delve deeply into the multifaceted landscape of constraints and potential adverse outcomes intricately intertwined with IT usage. This thorough scrutiny allows gaining valuable insights into the challenges that can arise, providing a nuanced understanding of the intricate dynamics involved. Conclude our investigation; we scrutinize various pivotal avenues for future research, ensuring a forward-looking perspective that addresses emerging trends and evolving challenges in the ever-changing landscape of information technology.

Same Same or Different?: Comparing Perceived Internationalization, Experiences and Satisfaction of Domestic and International Tertiary Students in Thailand

There appears to be a lack of literature analyzing and comparing experiences and behavior of foreign and domestic tertiary students in non-traditional destinations. Using quantitative approach, this study examined and compared how international and home students in Thailand perceive the extent of internationalization of their host institution, their sense of belongingness, discriminatory experiences and satisfaction. Findings showed that both groups of students did not perceive differently the academic, social and organizational dimensions of internationalization. However, foreign students felt a stronger sense of belongingness and higher level of satisfaction than their local counterparts. They had a more positive perception of the course contents and the university’ s physical environment. They indicated less positive perception of the availability of opportunities to socialize, to participate in exchange study, and to use the English language in learning and communication. The differing perceptions and attitudes of domestic and foreign students suggest that the institution may consider to further develop and improve the various aspects of internationalization in order to satisfy their needs and enhance their student experience.
