Generally, it is believed that managing employees across generations is a daunting and challenging management task due to the differences in their preferences, behaviours and attitudes.<br><br>The purpose of this research is to examine whether motivational drivers differ across three generations of employees working in the Sri Lankan banking sector. This explanatory study has a cross-sectional research design and follows the quantitative methodology and the deductive research approach. The results do not exhaustively support the generational stereotypes concerning motivation that is ubiquitous among management practitioners. A difference among motivational drivers across three generational cohorts was observed only for one category of motivational drivers, which were content-based drivers, but not for the process based motivational drivers. This research emphasizes the importance of managing individuals by focusing on individual differences rather than relying on generational stereotypes.","PeriodicalId":266314,"journal":{"name":"ICBI 2020: Organizational Behaviour & Human Resource Management","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133418725","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}

Edirisooriya","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3853894","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3853894","url":null,"abstract":"Banks prefer to have individuals who possess extraordinary talents who are not only hard workers but also who can go beyond the minimum expectations of the company by demonstrating Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB). However, the employer cannot force the employee to exhibit OCB and at the same time employee cannot expect formal rewards for performing OCB. With this challenge, the ways in which to stimulate OCB within and among banking employees is a problem. The empirical studies carried out by various scholars around the world have proved that workplace spirituality is a significant contributor to OCB. However, there is no evidence from the Sri Lankan context. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to assess the effect of workplace spirituality (meaningful work, sense of community and alignment with organizational values) on OCB with respect to private and public sector banking employees in Sri Lanka. The researcher followed the non-probabilistic convenience sampling method due to the absence of the sampling frame. With a standard questionnaire, responses were obtained from 282 banking employees. Results of regression analysis showed that workplace spirituality significantly impacts OCB with respect to both public and private sector banking employees. But statistically, this impact is higher among private sector banking employees in Sri Lanka. In reality, with work pressure and industry standards, demonstrating OCB is a huge challenge for both public and private sector banking employees. But yet, OCB of banking employees can be inspired intrinsically by creating a spirituality driven workplace.","PeriodicalId":266314,"journal":{"name":"ICBI 2020: Organizational Behaviour & Human Resource Management","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114791156","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}

Hence, bridging that lacuna in the literature, and re-constructing the two variables, the current study was initiated to assess the effect of experience in traffic congestion on employees’ stress at work. Predominantly adopting the hypothetico-deductive approach, this study was conducted among a sample of 420 individual employees prone to traffic congestion in metropolitan areas in Colombo. Purposive convenience sampling was used to select the sample whereas the Hair method was used to determine the sample size. Primary data were collected by adopting standard measurement scales via an online questionnaire survey. Data analysis was done with the aid of SPSS and Excel by employing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the multivariate techniques of hypotheses testing. Building on the findings of this study, it is concluded to be considered that the experience in traffic congestion as a significant predictor of employees’ stress at work. Therefore, it is recommended for individual employees who are risked at the frequent road traffic congestion to mindfully develop the awareness of, and the readiness for traffic congestion and appropriate coping skills. Further, it is recommended for employers to provide an adequate amount of opportunities for such employees to relax at work.","PeriodicalId":266314,"journal":{"name":"ICBI 2020: Organizational Behaviour & Human Resource Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125112227","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}

Compared to many others, most employees are more concerned about their career success in the Apparel Sector. Most of the employees do not achieve the desired success in their career because there are some issues with their behaviors. Hence, the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the big five personality factors on employees’ career success. The dependent variable is career success, and the independent variable is the big five model. A questionnaire survey was conducted to gather data from staff-level employees, and 120 responses were obtained by selecting one leading apparel firm following the non-proportionate stratified random sampling technique. In this quantitative study, correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze data through SPSS Version 23.0. Based on the findings, conscientiousness and openness to experience were moderately correlated with subjective career success. Also, extraversion and agreeableness are positively associated with subjective career success. Thus, conscientiousness, openness to experience is positively related to objective career success. However, neuroticism is negatively correlated with objective career success, and extraversion was not supported to objective career success. Findings showed that there is a considerable impact of big five personality factors on career success. Hence, an organization should have a massive role to consider personality factors to improve the level of success in careers.","PeriodicalId":266314,"journal":{"name":"ICBI 2020: Organizational Behaviour & Human Resource Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130158467","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}
