Previous research has shown that the closer an employee's engagement is with an organization, the higher the employee's performance. To explore job characteristics that deliver employees’ work engagement, this study employs Hackman and Oldham's job characteristics model, focusing on the core elements of task identity, task significance, skill variety, feedback, and autonomy as a lens to investigate this phenomenon in two different countries. Data from organizations in Slovenia and Malaysia were gathered and analyzed using quantitative methodology. The findings highlight the fact that employees’ work engagement is not necessarily employee engagement; whereas the former examines engagement at the psychological level with an individual employee, the latter takes a broader approach in looking at factors that are also organizational. We find that work engagement is affected by job characteristics—task identity, task significance, skill variety, feedback, and autonomy—but these differ according to context, which we have shown can be in relation to the cultural setting of the organization. While in Slovenia, employees’ work engagement is influenced by skill variety and feedback (structure), in Malaysia, work engagement is affected by employees’ task identity and autonomy. These findings speak to a culture of direct communication in Slovenia as opposed to high-power distance that is often argued in Malaysian organizations. In practice, context must be considered when designing jobs and policies for managing human resources as employees find meaning in work through different job characteristics.</p>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"44 5","pages":"75-85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joe.22295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144207063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This period was notable for mandatory CSR reporting but optional spending. A panel regression analysis was employed to assess firm behavior from the perspectives of institutional, signaling, and value creation theories. This study found that firms’ CSR expenditure was notably lower than mandated spending in all sectors, except in the energy, material, and consumer-staples sectors. Overall, CSR spending was associated with improved margins, supporting value creation theory. However, the impact varied across industries: the energy, material, industrial, consumer-discretionary, and healthcare sectors exhibited a negative association, whereas the consumer-staples sector showed a significant positive association. Thus, promoting CSR spending in sectors that benefit the most may be more effective than adopting a uniform approach across all sectors.

The corporate sector, identified as a significant contributor to environmental crises, is under immense pressure from diverse stakeholders, including regulators, activists, consumers, and competitors, who express concerns about the sector's unsustainable practices. In response to these challenges, the United Nations introduced sustainable development goals (SDGs) in 2015, envisioning a planet that thrives for all by 2030. Although the achievement of SDGs has become a global agenda, the role of green human resource management practices (GHRMPs) in this pursuit remains inadequately understood. This qualitative study seeks to address the overarching question of how GHRMPs contribute to the actualization of the environmental, economic, and social SDGs. Drawing insights from semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with 20 sustainability experts, thematic analysis revealed that specific sub-practices within six core GHRMPs are intricately linked to distinct SDGs. For instance, inclusive hiring practices and diversity programs are identified to contribute to reducing inequalities (SDG 10). Gender-inclusive groups provide a platform for employees to voice concerns and ideas, encouraging equal participation of men and women in decision-making processes, ensuring diverse perspectives are considered (SDG 5). Designing healthier workplaces reduces the risk of occupational illnesses and injuries, supports a healthy lifestyle, and contributes to improved overall well-being (SDG 7). This study offers valuable guidance to business policymakers and civil society actors aiming to enhance the scope of sustainable corporate practices.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"44 5","pages":"19-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144206868","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}

Additionally, it examines the mediating role of work passion, acting as an “energized-to” motivation, in the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and job crafting.

Further, the nexus between QWL, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and WLB are investigated.

After checking the measurement properties of the survey instrument using the LISREL package of structural equation modeling, hierarchical regression, and PROCESS macros were used to validate the model. The key findings indicate that (i) WFC and FWC have adverse effects on QWL, (ii) QWL is positively associated with job satisfaction and life satisfaction, (iii) job satisfaction mediated the relationship between QWL and life satisfaction, and (iv) life satisfaction is a significant predictor of WLB. The results also supported that employee commitment strengthened the relationship between QWL and job satisfaction. Further, cognitive engagement (second moderator) and employee commitment (first moderator) interacted with QWL in influencing job satisfaction. The three-way interaction between QWL, employee commitment, and cognitive engagement is a novel idea that significantly contributes to the literature on organizational behavior and human resource management.

Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive scale that assesses a firm's competitiveness and links specific practices to improvements or decreases in competitiveness. This study used a mixed-method approach that included both qualitative and quantitative phases. The qualitative stage involved interviewing 10 C-suite executives to gain insights into the dimensions' impact on firm competitiveness and to generate items that reflect an understanding of the dimensions. The quantitative phase involved distributing a survey to 188 participants to measure the relationships between the strategic dimensions and <i>firm competitiveness fit</i> and to assess the scale's reliability, validity, and operability. To achieve this goal, PLS-SEM (partial least squares structural equation modeling) was used.
