The human environment is defined as the “human assets (i.e. creativity leading to innovation; experience, skills and knowledge of employees) and the skills and abilities those assets possess within a given location” (Zhu et al., 2011, p. 312).Thus, how an organization, including government, manages its human resources (HR), drawn from the human environment in which it operates, will significantly impact success or failure (Barney, 2001; Kong & Thomson, 2009).We contend that although there has been a great deal of research on human resource management (HRM) as a competitive advantage for firms, there has been little work done on the analysis of HRM practices in government and its influence on a nation’s competitive advantage. In a qualitative study of a developing nation in the Caribbean we interviewed 12 senior level employees. Our analysis revealed that little attention was paid to HRM, which resulted in the ineffectiveness of the application of government policies. The data revealed that issues started with the recruitment and selection processes.This paper focuses on the recruitment and selection processes utilized by government agencies that cause institutional voids which lead to the failure to utilize public service employees as a source of competitive advantage.","PeriodicalId":150983,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129847956","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}

{"title":"Interplay of overseas employment of Bangladesh and sustainable development goals :","authors":"M. R.

Hence, utilization of huge active workforce consisting of 64 percent of the total population is a major concern that appears because of small employment market and the necessity of socio-economic development of this huge group as well as country. Engaging these potential human resources in overseas employment (OE) market has become a mandatory solution for development.OE constitutes of 9 per cent of total active workforce who are currently working across the world. In addition, about 30 million people are dependent on them. It indicates that the contribution of this active group on the society and economy is enormous. The study analyses connection between OE and SDGs, contribution of OE in achieving SDGs for socio-economic development and confusion about the sustainability of development. This paper utilized qualitative methodology and analysis was done using interpretative approach. Both primary and secondary data were used. The study found that overseas employees send about 15 billion US dollars every year to keep the economic growth stable and sustain foreign reserve. The remittance sent by the expatriates to their families is primarily used for buying food & cloth, educating their children, building houses and sanitation, establishing small businesses, contributing to social and religious organizations and also for buying permanent property i.e. buying land and houses with the saved money. Although their spending pattern signifies unproductive sector, it considerably contributes in the overall development of Bangladesh. The intended and unintended benefits of OE are directly connected to almost all SDGs. It is argued that without the contribution of OE, achievement of SDGs is unthinkable. Confusion of achieving sustainability arises as expatriates face myriad challenges because of extra cost, hazardous procedures, middle men involvement at home and abroad, precarious working conditions, unstructured job, misbehavior of foreign employers, non-availability of database of expatriates. A meaningful number of expatriates die every year because of accidents or lack of workplace safety. As the huge number of active workforce are migrant workers, country lacks of young generation and face social crisis. Receiving countries also face numerous challenges e.g. unemployment, overflow of illegal migrant workers, socio-economic and political crisis. These problems seriously affect expatriate workers who face banning and restriction. The study suggests to create opportunity in internal employment market to utilize potential human resources, develop and send skilled workforce to abroad, design real time database for all migrants, practice weekly monitoring for women and risky job holders, and develop effective negotiatio","PeriodicalId":150983,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125728680","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}

These corporations not only account for an important share of world production but also control a major part of all foreign direct investment in many developing countries. Abundant supply of unemployed labour force at a cheaper price and various types of facilities and incentives provided by developing country governments are the main attractions for their relocation. Evidence reveals that the implications of export oriented indzrstrialisation on developing country economies are complex and contradictory. World market factories largely employ women and employment in waged jobs give them access to financial resources although they rarely control their wages and experience various types of exploitation on the factoryfloor in dzferent ways. Governments in developing countries support the establishment of world market factories despite the fact that such industrialisation does not offer them the chance of overcoming their underdeveloped situation rather, marginalises a large part of the population without creating any precondition for alternative development.","PeriodicalId":150983,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Public Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133645841","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 cross sectional study design and quantitative approach was followed to conduct the study. Result shows that the knowledge, attitude and practice scores on antibiotic usage are below average. Specially rural women are significantly lagging behind than their male counterparts. Due to absence of doctors and poor financial condition of the villagers, they frequently take antibiotics to speedup their recobvery process without fulfilling the required dosage.

In the wake of independence of a large number of former colonies in Asia and Africa, at the end of the second World War and around the time when the Marshal Plan was being implemented in Europe, the former coloilies started to get the attention of their erstwhile colonisers who, in a vast majority of cases, did not want all ties with the periphery sapped all of a sudden. There were political, strategic, commercial and humanitarian consideration for this. The vast new world was viewed in the centres as a potential market for their exports. In addition was the thought of building up zones of influence in these newly independent countries where the way of life would be, given adequate support, on the pattern of the centres. Economic advancement of these countries was viewed as a major factor for sustaining non-inflationary growth in the industrial countries. A sort of interdependence of welfare functions of the peoples living in the two largely disparate worlds was also perceived by many in the industrial countries. There should not be a partage of the world between the very rich and the very poor, many felt obliged to concede.
