This study was about examining the effect of job satisfaction on the female teacher’s retention within public schools in Oman. This was initiated as a result of increasing rate of female teacher turnover from the teaching profession causing gaps in many schools and the associated high costs of filling such gaps to maintain quality education in the province. The main objective of the study was to examine the effect of job satisfaction on retention of teachers. In order to achieve this objective, the population of 6740 female teachers, were considered for the study from which a sample of 378 female teachers was selected to constitute a sample. Survey questionnaires were administered to them online using their individual mails accessed from the ministry of education. A high response rate was obtained and data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), using Smart-PLS and Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The key findings were that there was a huge positive relationship between job satisfaction and teacher retention because satisfied teachers were found likely to feel a sense of commitment to their schools and students. They are more inclined to invest their time and energy in their teaching responsibilities, resulting in greater dedication and retention within the profession. Besides that, it was established that, teachers who experience high job satisfaction were less likely to consider leaving their positions or seeking employment in other fields....
This study visually explores the relationships among human resource management (HRM) investment, strategy implementation, and rm performance for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Korea. This exploratory research focuses on the signicance of strategy implementation, an often overlooked factor in the relationship between HRM and rm performance, as well as HRM investment, which can enable the development of organizational capabilities. We conducted a multiple correspondence analysis to understand the interrelationship between HRM investment, competitive strategy implementation, and rm performance. We dierentiated the results by group type according to the level of HRM investment, competitive strategy implementation, and rm performance. We found that rms with high HRM investment achieve the highest performance by implementing an ambidextrous strategy that simultaneously pursues cost leadership and dierentiation. Ultimately, this study’s results suggest that for rms to create a competitive advantage through the strategic capitalization of human resources, long-term and continuous investment in HRM is necessary, even if short-term visible eects are not observed while the HRM system is being built, to eventually establish the organization’s capacity to support strategy execution. This studys potential contribution is to extend the resource-based view by establishing the role of strategy implementation in linking HRM systems as organizational capabilities to performance....
Enhancing learning is one of the desired outcomes of training program. Hence, this study is conducted to examine factors influencing learning to gain a better understanding on how to improve it. A total of 78 employees, who participated in a specific training program were surveyed on aspects of learning using questionnaire. Data analyses show that the only factor for learning is motivation to transfer. In contrast, stress, organizational citizenship behavior and work engagement do not have influence on learning. The findings highlight important areas and directions for further investigation of learning....
Pro-environmental behaviors have been confirmed as an essential source of sustainable development. However, there is limited research exploring its antecedents from the perspective of organizational management mechanisms (e.g., environmental leadership). This article draws on upper-echelon and self-consistency theories to explain why environmental leadership induces environmental corporate social responsibility policy adoption, which causes employees’ environmental behavior. In addition, the relationship is mediated by environmental identity. This article collected empirical data from 101 technology firm employees, and the results support all hypotheses. Finally, this article addresses a new research stream of leadership concerning pro-environmental behaviors. It demonstrates a novel pathway to promote pro-environmental behaviors through adopting environmental corporate social responsibility policies, which guides a new research direction in terms of environmental organization behaviors....
This study investigates the driving forces behind job performance in Morocco’s public sector amid its latest reforms. Despite extensive research on motivation and job performance, the unique dynamics within this sector, particularly following recent legislative changes, still need to be explored. This study links job performance to an incentive-based system by examining the roles of both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations in enhancing employee performance. Employing qualitative methodology, this study explores how incentives and motivation impact job performance. Data collected via a structured questionnaire are analyzed using structural equation modeling to elucidate the connections between work performance, motivation, and incentives. These findings highlight the significance of transparent human resource policies, comprehensive incentive systems, appropriate performance metrics, and robust leadership in cultivating a motivated and high-performing workforce....
