This study reviews the design and evolution of three programs hosted by the University of Michigan Medical School to engage mid-level healthcare leaders from three healthcare institutions in China. Program participants included 40 Chinese physicians and administrators from 13 hospitals across the three healthcare institutions. The Kirkpatrick model was used to structure an approach to evaluate the learner outcomes. The programs were well received, with the effectiveness score in the first three Kirkpatrick-levels of reaction, knowledge acquisition and application of learning being 4.61, 4.34, and 3.55, respectively (on a five-point Likert rating with 5 as the highest rating). The results demonstrate the ability to co-design executive education programs with learners who advance the expected outcomes beyond mere satisfaction with their participation in the program. This approach is increasing the demand among healthcare institutions and their employees in China for these programs at University of Michigan Medical School.","PeriodicalId":31099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44762024","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}

Several research studies have been published that identify factors that drive employee engagement. Opportunities for upward feedback, effective communication systems, trust and fairness are some of the factors found to determine employee engagement. This study appreciates that a ‘one size fits’ model is effective, since the levels of engagement and its drivers differ according to organization, employees and the job itself. However, these studies had some inefficiencies including contextual and methodological deficiencies that the current study is addressing. The objective of the study was to establish factors that affect employee engagement at jubilee insurance. The study employed Cross Sectional Descriptive survey research design because the study was done at one point in time. Questionnaires were distributed to 175 respondents out of a population of 580. The study employed Factor analysis as a tool for data analysis. Results showed that four factors influence employee engagement. Management should ensure that they provide the necessary environment for employees to improve their performance in terms of increasing their employees’ skills through training and development human resource practices. The study recommends that managers ensure they have a good relationship with employee and promote teamwork in the organization as well as give prompt performance feedback to employees.","PeriodicalId":31099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64812762","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}

However, such employees can only become strategic assets if they are motivated to deliver on their tasks and specific assignments. Therefore, it is important to identify factors which motivate employees for the achievement of set organisational goals. The objective of this study is to investigate the extent to which organisational reward systems impact on employee retention in the banking industry in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. To achieve this objective, this study has examined the relationship between remuneration, promotion and recognition as the dimensions of reward systems and employee retention. In terms of methodology, the survey research design was utilized, with the structured questionnaire used as the primary data collection method. The generated data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics as well as the spearman’s test statistics. The results revealed that there is a positive relationship between remuneration, promotion, and recognition as dimensions of reward systems and employee retention. The conclusion reached is that for banks in Port Harcourt to retain their best employees, they would need to improve their reward systems, specifically the remuneration, promotion and recognition that they offer their employees. It is recommended that there should be further empirical research to test the applicability of the findings of this study in other sectors of the Nigerian economy as well as the relationship between other dimensions of reward systems and employee retention.","PeriodicalId":31099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49215104","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 Airline Industry in Thailand is no different. With many budget airlines closing down permanently and big players in the industry such as Thai airways, filing for bankruptcy just to stay alive. Although the current situation has improved since the beginning of the year, the industry still faces many problems in terms of Human Resources. With the gradual lift of travel restrictions, the industry is slowly trying to bounce back but recovering what the industry lost will be a very slow process in the current situation. Unlike other industries, work from home is not an option in the airline industry, as the industry depends on employees to be physically present, it is evident that safety protocols need to be heavily implemented for the well-being of their employee and their customers. To foresee the possible changes in the industry in regard to Human Resources, the author focus on five main aspects of Human Resource Management: Recruitment, Training, Motivation, Healthy Environment, and Retainment of Employment. In each part, the author states the importance and provides strategies to cope with the current situation. In conclusion, the author ends on an optimistic note for the industry and emphasizes the need to adapt in order to survive in the current situation.","PeriodicalId":31099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44145981","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 fate of different industries slipped despite the efforts of owners and CEO. The Tech industry was one of the few that thrived during the pandemic as every business was gradually moving on to the digital platform. Even in the tech industry, only the big companies that already had a massive footprint before the pandemic, like Apple, Google, Netflix, Facebook, and Amazon, bloomed. Many medium-sized and small-sized tech organizations also struggled during the pandemic. The tech companies associated with the travel and tourism industry like Uber, Airbnb, Trip Advisor, etc. couldn’t find any customers due to lockdown. This created an imbalance in different sectors like recruitment, employee retention, etc. Due to this imbalance and lack of cash flow, small tech companies were laying off jobs to survive while the big tech giants were recruiting more employees to thrive. This imbalance in recruitment and lay off created fear of losing or retaining a job in many tech employees whether they were skilled professionals or fresh graduates. This paper focuses on and compares these effects on big tech companies and small tech companies. This paper also suggests steps and solutions for small tech companies to maintain themselves during the pandemic and regain their market position after the new normal.","PeriodicalId":31099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46684268","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}

At the same time, the study puts forward some constructive suggestions on the problem of stress sources. In the aspect of relieving pressure, the company should design the reasonable salary and performance system, arrange the work task reasonably, increase the training of psychological counseling to relieve the pressure of blue-collar workers. Individual blue-collar workers should learn time management, self-regulation when faced with stress, communication and help seeking. The government should strengthen the safeguard measures for blue-collar workers, strengthen market supervision, improve the relevant labor market policies, strengthen the employment guidance for the unemployed, implement compulsory education, and gradually improve the education level of blue-collar workers.","PeriodicalId":31099,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47674865","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}

Ghana has human resource capable of retrieving, processing and utilizing her natural resources for economic development. Yet, Ghana as a developing country is grappling with poverty and unemployment. The educational system and its curricula activities as well as the various associated training programmes in the country, are generally geared towards preparing the youth for white color jobs other than self-employment skills. This paper therefore focuses on entrepreneurial education with the emphasis on equipping the youth with skills and competence needed to enhance their economic status. The methodology used was descriptive and quantitative. The sample population was drawn from graduate students of three Technical Universities (TUs). The paper looked at the integration of entrepreneurial education programmes in the TUs curricula towards addressing job creation. It was found out that, the Ghanaian educational system has not been a force to reckon with when it comes to equipping the students or graduates with the requisite skills and competencies to develop themselves economically and career wise so as to produce graduates who are independent. This paper brings to the fore the fact that, in order to curb the unemployment situation in the country, emphasis should be laid on entrepreneurial education to develop the mind-set of the youth towards employment.
