The study aims at assessing the changes that is attained with the implementation of 6S in housekeeping and linen department of a tertiary care hospital. A quantitative method of data collection was employed with the help of a questionnaire and checklist. Independent Paired t-test, descriptive statistics and Repeated Measures ANOVA (RM-ANOVA) was used to analyse the data obtained. The Paired t-test indicated all the five sections of the questionnaire was very statistically significant (<.001). The pre-implementation score for housekeeping department was 33.593% and post score was 91.406%. The score for linen department improved from 62.5% to 88.28%. The p-value for sort was .016 which is statistically significant, the p-value for Set in order was .064 which is greater than 0.05 that implies there is no statistical significance followed by shine, standardize, sustain and safety with p-value of <.001, <.001, .005 and .002 respectively which are statistically significant for housekeeping department. The p-value for sort, set in order and shine was found to be .251, .368, .156 respectively which tells that there is no statistically significant difference between the means.

To know the financial indicator that determines the level of CSR performance. A panel data design was used to collect, arrange and analyse data. In other to regress the relationship between the social dimension of CSR and financial performance, we regress social dimension with PAT, EPS, and ROA using multivariate linear regression after taking into consideration all the relevant assumptions. The findings reveal that the social dimension has a positive relationship with PAT, EPS, and ROA. While social dimension shows a significant relationship between PAT and EPS but no significant relationship with ROA. PAT appeared to be a better predictor among the three financial predictors considered. To increase earnings, the findings suggest that firms can increase their social spending. As a single-case study, the findings may not be adequate for theoretical generalizations and therefore limited to the context of the study. This study adds to and expands the assumptions of legitimacy theory constructs by rethinking and exploring new assumptions in the context of the social dimension of CSR within the context of a developing country.

Research shows producer service ecology directly promote the output and export of high-end services. Within a service ecology, when specialization level intensifies, key elements will shift from logistics and finance to finance and technology. When ICT-driven service ecology improves, it’s impact on digital trade competitiveness will change from a direct way to an indirect way. In a meshed service ecosystem, ICT driven service promote digital exports through manufacture servilization. The more developed ICT industry is, the greater this promotion forces will be. In a chained service ecology, ICT-driven manufacturing have better digital absorption capacity. So we suggest to establish digital service ecology surrounding manufacturing scene, so as to trigger manufacturing servilization at input end and enhance industrial digital absorption capacity. At the early stage of service ecology, we should first develop logistics and financial clusters. When service ecology reach certain level, we transfer to develop digital technology and finance, innovate financial products and models, and attract related elements to formulate service-ecology.

In modern organizations, employees are not the economic man rather it is essential for them to express emotions, perception, thoughts, experience and attitude regarding their workplace and organization as demanded by the nature of work and its environment. They are the foundation of feedback in dealing with and resolving the complexities. So, with this context the aim of the study was to identify the reasons for employee silence in an organization and impact of the socio-demographic variables on employee silence in a tertiary care hospital. Quantitative data (n=334) were collected from the employees of a tertiary care hospital in Bengaluru, India. Exploratory factor analysis was carried out to find the factors causing employee silence among the employees of the organization and independent sample t-test and One-way ANOVA was performed to find the association between the socio-demographic variables and employee silence. Results from the study have identified four major factors of silence namely; indifference of the management, fear of the management, maintenance of good relationship and prosocial tendency as possible causes of silence. These factors were correlated using Pearson’s correlation to find the association between the identified factors and indifference of the management and fear, maintenance of good relationship and prosocial tendency had a strong positive correlation. Further the study showed there is a relationship between age, education level and work experience with employee silence and it differs with different categories of age, education and years of experience. Since the study is related to healthcare organization more emphasis should be given to the employees as the quality of services delivered would mainly depend on them. The study reveals the need for having a positive interpersonal relationship which gives way for continuous feedback between the management and employees which in turn would lower employee silence in an organization","PeriodicalId":31166,"journal":{"name":"International Research Journal of Business Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89951897","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}
