The target population was the employees of the Institute of Southern Punjab, Multan, Pakistan. The study was based on a correlational research design. 128 employees were sampled through a simple random sampling technique. Data was collected by survey method through Perceived Organizational Support Scale (POSS) by Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, and Sowa (1986) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (Mowday, Steers, & Porter, 1979). Demographic variable job experience was measured as moderating variables between perceived organizational support and organizational commitment. The collected data was analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 23). Correlation, regression, and moderation analysis were used to interpret data statistically. The results revealed a significant correlation between perceived organizational support and organizational commitment. The regression analysis indicated a significant impact of perceived organizational support on organizational commitment. The findings suggest a significant role of moderators (job experience) between organizational support and organizational commitment. Further study in organizational psychology would be recommended in the development of an encouraging and supportive workplace environment for employees.","PeriodicalId":432891,"journal":{"name":"iRASD Journal of Management","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124359855","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}

Training and development and three facets of organizational commitment are studied using a quantitative survey research design. Structured equation modelling using Smart PLS 3 was used to analyze 290 of 313 responses from public sector hospitals. Training and development, according to the findings, have a strong positive relationship with affective, normative, and continuance commitment. Some of these findings have ramifications for management and administrative staff of hospitals. They must first commit their nursing staff to the hospital in order to ensure the best quality services for their patients. Nurses respond with greater affective, normative, and continuance commitment when they believe a training programmed is designed to meet their professional developmental needs.","PeriodicalId":432891,"journal":{"name":"iRASD Journal of Management","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122842034","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}

Furthermore, the mediating role of e-satisfaction examined between the relationship of e-banking mobile application's quality factors and consumers' e-loyalty. The data were collected through 218 consumers of private banks in Pakistan using convenience sampling. The questionnaire was adopted through literature. The statistical tool Smart PLS 3.2.8 has been utilized to do partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The reliability and trust have significantly influenced e-loyalty in findings, while mobile application design reveals an insignificant effect on e-loyalty. The study contributed to the existing literature on e-banking by using cognitive-motivational-relational theory through mediating role of e-satisfaction.

Related competitiveness in such area has been highly linked to effective Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems implementation that can provide the necessary business knowledge and intelligence. This paper seeks to evaluate the preparedness and the extent Omani retail banks are incorporating CRM as a business knowledge and intelligence management tool to assist in their customer recruitment and retention activities. This study uses a quantifiable methodology with MS Excel data analytic tool to analyse primary data to determine the extent to which CRM systems are being incorporated as a business knowledge and intelligence management tool in the banking industry. Data were collected across departments from 5 of the 7 Omani retail banks with average ratings used for each question. The findings show that CRM as business intelligence management tool is already well incorporated in banks of Oman and the banks are also well equipped to further embrace such tools to strengthen their customer recruitment and retention capabilities. The findings also show that the banks have the necessary Information Technology capabilities, Customer Service capabilities and marketing capabilities which have assisted them to deliver higher quality customer services, run more effective marketing and promoting campaigns, and enhance their management decision making. The findings should assist decision-makers in realizing the importance of CRM with appropriate kind of functionalities as a business intelligence tool to optimize customer recruitment and retention activities.","PeriodicalId":432891,"journal":{"name":"iRASD Journal of Management","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128360288","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}

It is even trickier in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) when they have hibernated from conventional to cyber universities due to the COVID pandemic. It is relatable to motivate and retain the knowledge workers persistently. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the impact of academicians' spiritual motivation on their tacit knowledge sharing behaviour, with the moderation of COVID-induced occupational stress. The population embraced the academicians of Pakistani Higher Education Institutions. ~289 academicians were considered as the sample size. Descriptive and inferential statistics (linear regression) were performed in SPSS, whereas; 'Hayes' process macro' was used to test moderation. The findings designate that academicians' spiritual motivation is significantly and positively associated with tacit knowledge sharing behaviour—moreover, COVID-induced occupational stress moderates their relationship. Consequently, the results bequeath the policymakers and the relevant authorities of HEIs, with valuable propositions on how to upkeep academicians' tacit knowledge sharing behaviour by considering COVID-induced occupational stress as eu-stress if they are spiritually motivated. Profuse suggestions were also presented to future researchers to further look into the anticipated study model. ","PeriodicalId":432891,"journal":{"name":"iRASD Journal of Management","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125379463","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}
