Mediating Influence of Perceived Stress and Sleep Quality on Job Stress and Family Relationships: A Study on Working Professionals in India
Job stress in working professionals has materialized as a pertinent contemporary concern. Increased demands at the workplace in combination with more personal responsibilities and activities have the potential to trigger work-family conflicts. This study focuses on the mediating influence of perceived stress and sleep quality on the relationship between job stress and family relationships. The sample consisted of 145 working professionals in the age group of 20 to 50 years, who were currently employed in various sectors. New Job Stress Scale, Brief Family Relationships Scale, Sleep Quality Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale were used for this study. The results, after running correlation and mediation analysis, showcased that job stress has a significant positive relationship with perceived stress and sleep quality and a negative correlation with family relationships. The findings of the double mediation analysis highlight the negative mediating effect of both perceived stress and sleep quality on the relationship between job stress and family relationships. The study also sheds light on the parallel mediating role of perceived stress and sleep quality. Additionally, the findings of the study show the need for designing mental health interventions at the workplace that can enhance employee wellbeing across all domains.
Impact of Green Variables on Employee Behavior in Indian Green Hotels: An SEM Study Using S-O-R Framework
The Covid-19 pandemic has heightened tourists' environmental awareness resulting in a desire for green hotels. Existing literature has extensively examined tourists' attitudes and behaviors towards green hotels, but there is a scarcity of research on employees' perceptions of these accommodations. The study investigates the determinants of green behavior among 220 green hotel employees from India using an established behavioral theory called Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R). Structural equation modeling and related statistical techniques are employed to analyze the data gathered from a structured survey. The primary findings indicate that green purchases largely impact normative objectives, implying inadequate significance. Green product and process innovations have a significant impact on employees' green workplace behavior by influencing their hedonic, gain, and normative goals. The study examines human resource management sustainability in Indian hospitality and tourism sectors.
Asset Creation Under MGNREGS: The Case of Tripura
The paper seeks to understand the success of Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) in the state of Tripura, India, in terms of nature and trend of activities, and the benefits accrued to participating households. The study observes that the number of activities taken up under the scheme increased by more than threefold during the six-year study period, i.e., 2014-15 to 2019-20. The trend growth rate of the number of activities stood at 24.8%. Land development, irrigation and water conservation remained the most prominent works, thereby creating an overwhelming dominance of activities earmarked as public works relating to natural resources management in the state. Creation of rural infrastructure, particularly, building of rural roads and internal streets, was also found to be a premier activity. The work completion rate (WCR) was around 44% in 2014-15, but came down to 7.49% in 2019-20, suggesting strong and significant inter-year differences in the average WCR. We also found statistically significant inter-district variations in WCR.
How HR Analytics Can Help Improve Decision-Making, HR Practices and Firm Performance: A Systematic Review
Human Resource (HR) analytics is the process of collecting and analyzing employee data to understand the association between HR practices and firm performance to make decisions and formulate strategies. The study aims to systematically evaluate the literature on HR analytics under three aspects: decision-making, performance, and HR practices and functions. For this purpose, the study systematically reviews the literature on HR analytics available on Web of Science database. The study reviews 43 papers relating to HR analytics and finds decision-making as the building block for various effective HR practices and for enhancing the performance of employees. With regard to other available HR practices, organizations view recruitment and selection, retention, turnover, training, and employee engagement as crucial. These are the areas where management uses HR analytics for tackling big data and improving performance. The study further highlights the value addition HR analytics provides. By analyzing the interconnections between various factors through co-occurrence network analysis, the study shows that the importance management attaches to workforce data (through effective HR practices) while making strategic decisions plays a crucial role in enhancing the performance of the organization.
