Organization Behavior and Human Resource Management

This article investigates whether the implementation of the management practices on the shop floor of Japanese organisations located overseas in developing economies has affected the employees' organisational commitment. A qualitative study involving in-depth interviews from twenty general employees across different sections of a leading Japanese auto-maker's plant located near the national capital region (NCR) of India, have revealed a depleting relationship and dwindling commitment with their management owing to over intensified work pressure, strain, and stress. The author has proposed four profiles of employee commitments by explaining the phenomenon of employment relationship and employee behaviour through a matrix model coined as 'BION' - balanced, idealists, opportunists and non-committals. The study yielded a majority of respondents, nine employees associating with the profile of the opportunists, followed by seven respondents with the profile of the balanced and only four employees were identified with the idealists. Theoretical and practical implications with limitations of the findings have been discussed. Copyright © 2020 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Employee relationship and its effect on organisational commitment: A critical look at a Japanese subsidiary of India

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between management practices and manufacturing performance, based on evidence from India and Malaysia – two countries from the cultural area of Southern Asia. Design/methodology/approach: The authors theorized by drawing not only on the strategic human resource management (SHRM) literature but also on cross-cultural research. A total of 233 leaders constituted this study’s sample: 96 production leaders from 16 Indian companies and 137 production leaders from 16 Malaysian companies participated in the survey. Findings: Some of the high-performance work practices (HPWPs) were effective across India and Malaysia. The use of HPWPs in Indian culture led to better manufacturing performance than the use of HPWPs in Malaysian culture. Research limitations/implications: This study did not measure national culture itself but instead used a dummy-coded variable of country as its proxy. Not only can national culture explain varieties in management practices including HPWPs, but it can also interact with these practices to affect performance. Practical implications: Indian and Malaysian managers can learn about their management practices from this, and they can learn about benefits they might bring to their workplaces if they manage through the use of HPWPs. Originality/value: The authors’ research provides insight into the capability of national culture to moderate the relationship between HPWPs and manufacturing performance, even among two countries situated in the same region of Southern Asia. © 2017, © Emerald Publishing Limited.

A study on management practices and manufacturing performance in India and Malaysia

This study explores the linkages among three forms of organisational commitments and occupational (professional) or career commitments of non-managers and managers in Japanese organisations. Is there any conflict between these two forms of employee commitment based on the new performance or result oriented management system that is adopted by Japanese organisations? We undertook interviews and surveyed 308 subjects, which constitute 227 respondents from non-managerial employees with the support of members from RENGO (Japanese Trade Union) and 81 mid-level managers from 18 Japanese companies located in the Kanto region of Japan between 2009 and 2010. Hierarchical OLS regressions indicate that there a 'no-conflict' relationship between occupational commitment and overall organisational commitment of the Japanese employees. The research findings contribute to the limited literature available on the study of both organisational and occupational commitments of employees in Asian workplace setting. Practical relevance of the study has also been discussed. © 2016 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

An empirical study on commitments of Japanese Employees

Present research focused on studying impact of preparation work (prework) in dyads on information sharing in groups. Stasser and Titus (1985) found that groups focus on common information during discussion and neglect unique information. Further, research has shown that subjects are more willing to share information in dyadic settings compared to larger groups (Taylor, de Soto and Lieb, 1979). This research looks at the advantage that can be derived from using dyads to do prework before group engages the assigned task. A cross-sectional between- subjects experimental design was used. Data was collected from 40 groups with help of 240 participants. It was found that prework in dyads enhanced unique information sharing at group level discussion.

Behaviour Informatics constitutes behavioral data construction, impact modeling, simulation, presentation, measurement, evaluation and behavior pattern/network analysis. With the incumbent of social media and its growing significance in work and personal life, researches in last few years examined patterns of use of social media and cognitive behavior. The present study is a literature review considering choice of media, intensity of use, perceived richness, as some of the predicting factors of social media use. It also encompasses available literature on interrelationship between patterns of use of social media with cognitive behavioral indicators such as personality, motivation, leadership, and quality of life. This review comprises of 146 research papers sourced from ScienceDirect, JSTOR, Emerald and EBSCO. Through the literature review, a predictive model has been suggested which can be utilized in decision making in employee life cycle right from recruitment, training, performance management, transition to succession planning.

A literature review on human behavioral pattern through social media use: A hr perspective

Organizations can use social media analytics as an effective assessment tool from behavioral perspectives, HR as well as business process to collaboratively build competency framework. The present piece of work is an attempt to put forth social media as a contemporary model in the light of the existing literature. Providing literature reviews, this paper also highlights current practices of social media analytics as to how organizations are accessing vast amount of live data from social media in order to understand work-related behavioral aspects of the employees and their employability for both HR process and the business. The analyzed data on customers is also being taken into account to highlight patterns and customers' sentiments related to the marketing efforts. Furthermore, on the basis of the above presented discussion this paper suggests the road map to how organizations can foster the social media practices. Finally, this paper raises some significant plausible research questions to be empirically researched in order to methodically validate or discard the presented framework on this rapidly emerging phenomenon.

Information sharing among group members is critical for group and organizational success. A transactive memory perspective is used to understand and explain how the nature of information sharing can change with passage of time. Findings of information sharing research are discussed in the light of transactive memory theory. The paper proposes that nature of information sharing in group changes with passage of time as the transactive memory system develops. Keywords: information sharing, transactive memory system, group
