Determinants of employees’ creativity: modeling the mediating role of organizational motivation to innovate

The study aims to empirically investigate the effects of the work environment and family–work resource spillover on employees’ creativity in agricultural research institutes. Additionally, this research proposes to examine the mediating role of organizational motivation to innovate in the relationships between the work environment and family–work resource spillover on employees’ creativity. Using a sample of 302 researchers from agricultural research institutes in Ethiopia, the hypothesized relationships were tested through the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results reveal significantly positive direct effects of work group support and family–work resource spillover on employees’ creativity. However, the results did not confirm the direct relationships of factors such as sufficient resources, reliable workload pressure, freedom, challenging work, managerial encouragement, and employees’ creativity. The findings of the study contribute to our understanding of work contexts in agricultural research institutes and suggest ways in which administrators can create a conducive working environment to enhance employees’ creativity.

“Hospitals respond to demand. Public health needs to respond to risk”: health system lessons from a case study of northern Queensland’s COVID-19 surveillance and response

BackgroundThe vast region of northern Queensland (NQ) in Australia experiences poorer health outcomes and a disproportionate burden of communicable diseases compared with urban populations in Australia. This study examined the governance of COVID-19 surveillance and response in NQ to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.MethodsThe manuscript presents an analysis of one case-unit within a broader case study project examining systems for surveillance and response for COVID-19 in NQ. Data were collected between October 2020–December 2021 comprising 47 interviews with clinical and public health staff, document review, and observation in organisational settings. Thematic analysis produced five key themes.ResultsStudy findings highlight key strengths of the COVID-19 response, including rapid implementation of response measures, and the relative autonomy of NQ’s Public Health Units to lead logistical decision-making. However, findings also highlight limitations and fragility of the public health system more generally, including unclear accountabilities, constraints on local community engagement, and workforce and other resourcing shortfalls. These were framed by state-wide regulatory and organisational incentives that prioritise clinical health care rather than disease prevention, health protection, and health promotion. Although NQ mobilised an effective COVID-19 response, findings suggest that NQ public health systems are marked by fragility, calling into question the region’s preparedness for future pandemic events and other public health crises.ConclusionsStudy findings highlight an urgent need to improve governance, resourcing, and political priority of public health in NQ to address unmet needs and ongoing threats.

Investigation of E-Business Motivation Among Batik SMEs in Indonesia

Purpose: This research explores how to establish a conceptual framework for an empirical model of e-business motivation in small organizations, while most e-business studies focus on large companies. To explain SMEs' tactics and features, notably family businesses' increased e-business motivation. Theoretical Framework: Technological developments have an impact on changing business management patterns, many business opportunities can be captured by companies including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to be able to expand the market and increase sales. Design/Methodology/Approach: ANOVA analysis was used for quantitative analysis. This research took a sample of 122 Batik SMEs from the Batik center villages of Klaten, Jarum, Beluk, Banyuripan, and Kebon Regencies. The sampling method was purposive, namely by using batik SMEs that have used social media or websites to carry out promotions and sales. Findings: SMEs in the innovator category were more driven than reactors. Innovative companies succeeded in internet marketing, communication, and profit. However, the two groups employed e-business for study similarly. This shows that innovators and reactor companies have not fully adopted the e-business market or industry surveys. Implications of Research: This research shows that the success of e-business practices, especially electronic promotion and selling, will increase with strategic orientation that strives for innovation, as market coverage expands, and business duration increases. Originality/Value: E-business strategies and competencies in small businesses are infrequently investigated, whereas major enterprises are extensively studied. demonstrates that SMEs have distinct firm structures and HR development programs than major companies, hence their e-business practices will differ.

Predicting cause-related marketing patronage intentions based on Schwartz's theory of human values: a large-scale sample study anchored on female fashion leadership

PurposeBusinesses embark on cause-related marketing (CRM) initiatives as a marketing strategy to fortify consumers' behavioural intentions. Prior research indicates that human values could be tapped to understand the consumers' responses to perceived organizational motives behind undertaking social cause initiatives. This research employs Schwartz's theory of human values to examine consumers' patronage intentions towards CRM-linked fashion products. Moreover, fashion leaders play a crucial role in the diffusion of the latest fashion and fashion trends. This research investigates by integrating human values and fashion leadership, offering insights into CRM-linked fashion consumption motives.Design/methodology/approachThe overarching goal was to investigate the complex interplay between human values and female fashion leadership to predict CRM patronage intention (CPI). Hence, a large-scale research study on 2,050 samples was undertaken by adopting threefold partial least squares–multigroup analysis–artificial neural network (PLS-MGA-ANN) to establish and empirically test a comprehensive model.FindingsThis study is unique as it establishes and validates the relative or normalized importance placed on human values by fashion leaders, thereby predicting CPIs. The results revealed that women with high-fashion leadership and specific value types (benevolence, universalism, self-direction) are more likely to patronize CRM-linked fashion retailers. In addition, the findings validated that women with low-fashion leadership and specific value types (tradition, security, conformity) are more likely to patronize CRM-linked fashion stores.Originality/valueThe findings provide a valuable rationale to non-profit marketers, fashion marketing experts and practitioners to design customer value-based profiling and manage crucial CRM decisions.

ТЕОРИЯ И ПРАКТИКА МОТИВАЦИИ ПЕРСОНАЛА В СВЕТЕ ИНТЕГРАЦИОННОЙ ПАРАДИГМЫ

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the integration paradigm for understanding the motivational process of personnel and to identifying the possibilities of its scientific, theoretical and applied application. It analyzes existing scientific approaches to motivating organizational personnel, showing their methodological limitations and inconsistency with the needs of modern digital society in a holistic, systemic representation of the motivational process, which becomes possible on the basis of the proposed new, integration paradigm of motivation based on the use of activity-based and systemic approaches. System-activity methodology allows us to consider organizational motivation as an integral process of determining the behavior of employees in their practical, individual and collective, managerial and executive, constructive and destructive activities. In the integration paradigm, the fundamental categories of the concept of motivating personnel behavior are rethought, as close as possible to reality, and various, including spontaneous, factors of its determination are taken into account in scientific research and practical work. Attention is focused on the need for collective development, based on the imperatives of the integration paradigm, of a general model of the motivational process, representing various determinants of individual and collective organizational behavior of people in their holistic interaction. Such a model, embodied in appropriate computer programs, could serve as a scientific and applied basis for managing organizational motivation, using which one can take motivational work to a new, higher level that meets the requirements and capabilities of the digital society.

The formation of volunteer movements in Russia: development problems and dynamics

The research is determined by the fact that the role of social movements in the modern world is increasing due to the deterioration of the socio-economic and political situations. Today, the global economic crisis has a negative impact on the condition of the most vulnerable segments of the population. The global community sees the potential in volunteer organizations to provide assistance where it is urgently needed: from healthcare to emergency response. The problem of the research is that volunteering turned out to be a new phenomenon that requires legal and public support for Russia in the post-Soviet period. In the research the methods of sociocultural analysis were used based on scientific literature and regulatory sources, statistical data on the work of volunteer organizations in Russia, both at federal and regional levels. The key conclusion is the need for public recognition and financial incentives for non-profit public organizations involved in volunteering. The state must regulate the legal framework for the activities of NPOs, develop and adopt a unified set of legal norms for application at the federal and regional levels of government. At the same time, it cannot be denied that volunteer movements are already playing one of the cool roles in the formation of patriotism, socially oriented consciousness and the education of the younger generation.

GDPR and the indefinable effectiveness of privacy regulators: Can performance assessment be improved?

Abstract Data protection regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are increasingly important in securing individuals’ privacy as society goes digital. The success of any regulation, however good, ultimately depends on how well it is executed. Existing literature fails to answer what good execution means in this context. We research what practitioners think are the objectives of data protection regulators and how they evaluate their effectiveness. We explore novel ways to assess regulator performance more systematically. We surveyed 70 chief information security officers and conducted 23 structured interviews. The interviewees included informed business executives, lawyers, digital rights activists, and four national regulators. We supplement it with an analysis of diverse enforcement databases. Our findings indicate a mismatch between the broad presumed objectives attributed to regulators and the narrow criteria used to judge them in practice. Perception of the regulator’s effectiveness is subjective, sanctions-focused, and influenced by one’s role and responsibilities. Moreover, the independence of regulators, intentionally designed to insulate them from daily politics, raises serious questions of accountability. We examine the historical, cultural, and organizational motivations behind the current byzantine complexity of the GDPR regime. Lastly, we contribute a series of key performance indicators and make structural suggestions around centralized and standardized reporting of cases to deliver improved learning, legitimacy, transparency, and comparability. We believe our findings have important implications for the future development of regulator assessment and accountability in Europe and in the growing number of GDPR-like regimes outside Europe.

Water treatment sludge management in the context of changing environmental legislation in Russia

To consider changes in the regulation of sludge handling in natural and waste water treatment, national projects that contribute to the greening of the sludge handling process, and to present an overview of the market of domestic equipment for sludge treatment and disposal. The changes in regulatory, technical and legal documentation were analysed in the environmental protection sphere and in the field of sludge handling at centralised water treatment plants. Using open sources of information, the market of Russian equipment for sludge dewatering, drying and incineration was reviewed. Taking into account the changes in legislation in the field of waste management, clarifications of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Russian Federation, natural and sewage sludge can be positioned not only as a waste, but also as a secondary resource, secondary raw material or by-product. The adopted amendments do not reduce the responsibility of water supply and sewerage organisations in matters of sludge handling; they are aimed at increasing the interest of industrialists in the involvement of sludge in industrial turnover and simplification of sludge disposal processes. The amendments to the regulatory and legal documentation are likely to contribute to the elimination of such low-ecological objects of natural and sewage sludge disposal as deposition sites. It seems necessary to take incentives for organisations willing to use sludge in their production.

Actual problems of production of functional and specialized food products in the food industry

The Russian Federation includes 89 regions in which, in accordance with climate and environmental factors, the predisposition of the population to various types of diseases is revealed. A measure to prevent these diseases is the development of biologically active additives, functional and specialized food products. The problem of morbidity of one of the regions of the Russian Federation was studied. This was based on the example of the population of the Orel region where the greatest increase in diseases of the digestive system was detected. The legislative framework of the Russian Federation allows for the production of functional products, but the lack of economic incentives for food industry enterprises and trade organizations does not contribute to the promotion of existing developments and formulations of such products in the consumer market. It is proposed at regional level to reduce the tax rate on functional food products and reduce selling prices. It is recommended to the enterprises of the food and processing industry to enrich food products with biologically active additives. To create scientific and technological centers with the involvement of health authorities, food and processing industry and trade enterprises to develop functional and specialized food products and bring them to consumers.

Work Motivation under Communist Rule: Heritage from the Past in Modern Public Sector Organisations

Abstract Applying retrospective design methodology, the article adds to our knowledge about inherited organisational values and their impact on management policies and practices. Questioning the label of Central and Eastern European workforce as low-motivated, shirking and passive, this article outlines the historical context of work motivation in former communist countries, investigating to what extent the motivation in public service organisations today may be explained by the past. It employs a framework developed by Vandenabeele et al. (2013) that connects management intentions to organisational and employee outcomes to analyse the malfunctions of the former rewards system and to examine how those impairments continue to influence public sector motivation today. Confirming Inglehart’s ‘scarcity’ theory, this article demonstrates that the several decades that passed after the fall of communism were insufficient in completely overcoming communist heritage. Malfunctions of the centralised communist motivation system resulted from the discordance between the management intentions and actions. Dysfunctions of monetary-based incentive schemes caused overwhelming work lethargy of shirking employees, who were discouraged from being creative or displaying initiative. Such patterns have still been observable at some public organisations in former Soviet countries. Thus, the past centralisation of the state continues to determine individual work motivation in public sector domains even today.

Корпоративная культура как детерминанта мотивации труда персонала в образовательных организациях

One of the main problems in modern socio-economic conditions is the ever-increasing competition in the field of education. An important condition for the effectiveness of management in the field of education is the need to rethink the approach to the problem of building a system of employee motivation, internal culture and ideology of the team. In the educational services market, this need is dictated by the intensive development and increase of competitive forces in this area. In this article, work motivation is a central phenomenon that depends on the parameters of corporate culture. Due to the specifics of the activities of educational organizations, it is important to study the parameters of corporate culture and how well they are developed in an educational institution, and their impact on staff. The purpose of this study is to study corporate culture as a determinant of staff motivation in educational organizations. The methodological tools included: S. V. Solovyov's questionnaire “Assessment of motivation to work”, D. Denison's questionnaire “Corporate culture”. The study involved 62 employees of educational organizations (47 women, 15 men; the age of the respondents is in the range from 19 to 65 years). Educational institutions were represented by employees of the following educational institutions in Omsk: schools - teachers, pedagogue-psychologist; lyceums - teachers; secondary professional institutions - teachers, methodologists, social pedagogue; higher educational institutions - teachers, specialists in educational and methodical work. The results of the study revealed such leading motives of work activity as “Profession”, “Creativity” and “Work” for employees of educational organizations, as well as the following main characteristics of corporate culture: the ability to change, attention to customers, the learning ability of the organization, the vision of the organization, coordination and integration, involvement in values, the possibility of developing the organization, which have an impact on the motivation of staff.

ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ПРИБУТКОВОСТІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА В МІЖНРОДНОМУ БІЗНЕСІ

The article analyzes how to increase the profitability of an industrial enterprise. Modern complex economic conditions in which the subjects of the domestic economy have to function, as well as foreign policy and internal instability lead to a decrease in the profitability of enterprises, regardless of the forms of ownership. Increasing profits and improving production efficiency are very urgent issues of the modern Ukrainian economy. All this requires a thorough study of the theoretical foundations of the growth of the company's profitability and its impact on the pace and share of social reproduction. At present, a qualitatively new approach to the theoretical substantiation and practical demonstration of recommendations regarding the activation of the role of the company's profitability in the economic system is needed. Against this background, the identification of factors that increase the company's profitability is particularly relevant today. The concepts of profit and profitability are defined as economic categories and factors that affect profitability. Normative documents on increasing the profits of business entities have been established and recommendations for their implementation have been provided. Profit is the driving force and motivation for the activities of enterprises and organizations, which allows them to maintain their positions on the market and dynamically develop production in competitive conditions. Opportunities for higher profits encourage managers to look for ways to use resources more efficiently. The engine of the economic system is the financial factor, which is the most important and decisive, especially in times of changes and difficulties. However, even today, there are still many controversial topics in this research area that require further study and discussion. The purpose of the article is to define and demonstrate an approach to increasing the profitability of enterprises based on the analysis of the economic essence of profitability and the factors affecting it. It is widely recognized that profit is a component of organizational purpose, efficiency, incentives, and financial security.
