The study adopted a survey research strategy through semi-structured questionnaires to collect data from Lagos State Ministry of Works construction experts. A total of 66 usable questionnaires were retrieved and used for the analysis based on their information. The Cronbach's alpha was 0.745, and the Spearman-rank's coefficient was 0.802, indicating the high internal consistency of the questionnaire items. A quick analysis reveals that the most critical aspects of public construction projects are political considerations, the project manager's leadership qualities, an appropriately allocated budget, and efficient team management. Effective procurement process and stakeholder involvement were found to significantly impact the success of public sector building project delivery, while the leadership skills of the project managers, effective communication management, effective coordination of project activities, and efficient project delivery did not. This study sheds light on the most common reasons these projects fail and offer a wide-ranging set of recommendations for fixing them.","PeriodicalId":135877,"journal":{"name":"Organization and Human Capital Development","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123023553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an inevitable part of human resources in organisations as it relates to the situation of scarce resources, division of functions, power relations, role differentiation, interest, needs and aspiration. Like other terms, conflict generates considerable uncertainty, and the idea has grown to have numerous meanings and ramifications, creating nothing less than a semantic jungle, which leaves many scholars and administrators quite ambiguous about its meaning. This study examines the sources, effects, and strategies for the management of conflict in organisations. The pursuit of divided goals and struggle over scarce resources breed conflict. This study creates super-ordinate goals and the provisions of a stable, well structure that can minimise conflict. Understanding the importance of conflict management assists the manager in having an inclusive interpretation of the conflict and its effects on the organisation's productivity. The results would be beneficial to organisations' management since they lay the groundwork for understanding Conflict in Organisations, its effects, and management strategies. The study offered some suggestions and points for further research.","PeriodicalId":135877,"journal":{"name":"Organization and Human Capital Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128565939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four hypotheses formulated were tested by using Linear Regression and Pearson Correlation. Results showed that gender diversity accounts for 9.3% influence on employee efficiency. There exists a moderate relationship between religious diversity and employee effectiveness in the organization. Ethnicity diversity influences the quality of service. There exists a weak relationship between age diversity and employee satisfaction. It was concluded that workforce diversity is also an influencer of employee performance and recommended among others that organisations should formulate policies that encourage employee development, as this will create a wide pool of knowledge within the organization thus enhancing organizational competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":135877,"journal":{"name":"Organization and Human Capital Development","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133676421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The company's defeat was not due to simply failing to compete with competitors from similar industries but by new companies that created new businesses and markets. Organizational change is a continuous and dynamic process. Change cannot be stopped once a change initiative has been implemented. Change always occurs because the environment changes. The biggest actors in organizational transformation are people because an organization's most affected members are employees. Construction company management believes change must be planned, controlled, and directed as part of organizational life. One form of change is now experienced in implementing digital technology, which can be combined with other technologies. This research is used to examine construction companies in Indonesia, with limitations on facilitative leadership and job security towards readiness to change, psychological capital mediators and organizational support moderators. The design is cross-sectional, with primary data collection on construction companies, and the research methodology is a Structural Equation Model (SEM) from Lisrel. Findings based on five indicators, i.e. facilitative leadership, job security, psychology capital, readiness change, organizational support, GFI = 0.85 < 0.90 (marginal), CFI =0.98 > 0.90 (fit), NFI = 0.97 > 0.90 (fit), NNFI = 0.98 > 0.90 (fit) and RMSEA = 0.096 < 0.08 (marginal). This capability enables construction companies to do business in the digital modular field and simplify the construction process.

For managers, business owners, and employees alike, it was like something they have not seen before. For school leaders, it was a challenging and overwhelming task to run the school amid the lockdowns and community quarantines. This study aimed to assess the state of governance in Talalora District, one of the 34 districts in the Division of Samar, through a descriptive-quantitative research design, the state of school operations, fiscal management, implementation of DepEd programs, projects, and activities, and human resource development. This study reveals the aspects such as late submission of reports, difficulty in communicating with teachers and school personnel because of intermittent internet connection, and a decrease in productivity were noted for teachers as they were overworked in accomplishing their tasks. The MOOE allocation per quarter is not enough to cover all school expenses as there are additional purchases such as COVID-19 kits, vitamins, and other measures to help stop the spread of the virus that should be included. The implementation of DepEd programs, projects, and activities was intensified and heightened because of the pandemic. The school community showed full participation, but teachers had experienced difficulty in implementing these because of some hindering factors such as limited resources and facilities. Furthermore, human resource development is not fully maximized as there are respondents who attended the same average number of trainings before the pandemic as they are now. While most training is centered on Learning and Development, training has now become scarce because of COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":135877,"journal":{"name":"Organization and Human Capital Development","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130390377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the most affected industries is the hospitality and tourism sector. There was a sudden shift from the regular operation of a hotel to becoming a quarantine facility for isolated guests. Hence, this research explored the employees' experiences working in the COVID-19 quarantine hotel as the basis for developing a human resource crisis management framework. This study utilized basic qualitative research. The researchers used the interview as its tool. Informants of the study were three front desk clerks, one housekeeping staff, one maintenance staff and one supervisor. Consequently, this study revealed that the hotel changes are adjustments to how operations are carried out, how services are provided, and how many staff choose to stay despite the risk of contamination. In accordance with that, most employees experienced psychological and physical problems due to the increased risk of contamination from the virus and the fact that the employees were separated from their families. It is recommended that hotel management should be advised to conduct essential orientations on the nature of the hotel and health protocols and to offer proper familiarization about Covid-19 for awareness. Management should formulate laying of expectations on the roles and responsibilities of each employee.","PeriodicalId":135877,"journal":{"name":"Organization and Human Capital Development","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133747674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A stratified clustered sample of secondary public school teachers across five City Schools Divisions of Laguna, Philippines, voluntarily participated. The study employed a descriptive correlational research design to address the research questions. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Self-care Assessment Worksheet, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator Survey were used to collect information through an online platform. The results showed that the teachers expressed high levels of physical, emotional, spiritual, and workplace self-care practices and a moderate level of psychological self-care. Across burnout dimensions, the teachers are experiencing moderate levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Correlation analysis established significant relationships between all dimensions of self-care and personal accomplishment. Regression analysis revealed the predictive ability of workplace self-care practices on personal accomplishment.

This paper is aimed at discerning the determinants of withdrawal behaviour at an individual, group, and organizational level so as to formulate policies to mitigate the negative implications. This paper is a review of published literature on withdrawal and absenteeism at work and summarises critical points in relation to the Covid situation. This paper further reviews the problem during and post-pandemic literature and suggests the next steps in addressing it. Electronic databases of published peer-reviewed journals have been included in formulating the conceptual framework. Evidence-based research suggests Biographical characteristics, surface level, and deep-level diversities, including age, gender, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation, are important individual-level inputs that determine the form in which employees will manifest withdrawal cognition. Additionally, group structure, cohesion, leadership style, organizational justice, and organizational culture are antecedents of withdrawal behaviour at the group or organizational level. Furthermore, the analysis of determinants and antecedents provided for inferring the positive impact of withdrawal behaviour on emotional exhaustion, which in turn may prevent turnover and increase productivity, provided that the organization positively reacts to the coping mechanism. All the above-mentioned inferences were instrumental in solving the dichotomy of evidence with respect to the impact of a continuing crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic on withdrawal behaviour, and the analysis indicates that the manifestation of withdrawal behaviours is aggravated in such situations. In the current scenario, human resource management should aim at enhancing employee engagement, job commitment, and job satisfaction by furthering the psychological contract of role expectation via assuring job security, providing compensation, engaging in active communication, and accommodating employees’ psychological needs.","PeriodicalId":135877,"journal":{"name":"Organization and Human Capital Development","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124753614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
