This study delivers a comprehensive analysis of the emerging trends in reskilling and upskilling initiatives, which are pivotal for adapting to these shifts. Employing text mining techniques through Voyant Tools, we meticulously examined a corpus of 68 academic articles from the Web of Science database, all related to workforce development. Our methodological framework encompassed a thorough statistical analysis to distill and scrutinize term frequencies, inter-term relationships, and the overarching sentiment within the scholarly dialogue. The outcomes of this inquiry provide a sophisticated understanding of the prevailing academic terrain, accentuating the central themes and lacunae in the extant research corpus. The revelations from this preliminary study make a significant contribution to the domain of human capital development. The findings lay down an empirical groundwork for future studies in this sphere, poised to furnish strategic insights crucial for crafting robust career development programs. By illuminating the imperative of perpetual learning and skill enhancement, this paper adds to the conversation on equipping a resilient workforce, ready to excel in the dynamic, tech-centric economy that lies ahead.","PeriodicalId":441958,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Research in Human Resource Management","volume":" 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140988537","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}

A questionnaire survey was administered at a food retail/manufacturing company in Japan. After comparing the effects of P–O fit on 129 full-timers and 567 part-timers in relation to their organizational commitment, we found that: (1) In the human-oriented vs. task-oriented dimension of organizational culture, whereas full-timers held certain levels of commitment when they fit their value and organizational culture (whether at high levels (human-oriented) or low levels (taskoriented) of congruence), part-timers increased their commitment only at low levels of congruence and tended to decrease commitment at high levels of fitness; (2) Although incongruence between individual value and organizational culture in two dimensions (human vs. task-oriented and autonomous vs. heteronomous) had a negative effect on commitment for both employment statuses, the directions of unfitness were different. While full-timers decreased their commitment more seriously when the value of organizational culture exceeded that of individual value, the opposite happened with part-timers, who showed more a serious decrease when the value of individual value exceeded that of organizational culture. Based on the results and partial inclusion theory, we suggest a new hypothesis that P–O fit may have a relatively more serious effect on part-","PeriodicalId":441958,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Research in Human Resource Management","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114497004","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 \"survival of the fittest\" demands those organizations act as living organisms and adapt to environmental changes. It is no longer sufficient for them to think that employees' competences at the time of recruitment will meet future demands. New technologies are rapidly transforming job landscapes and reshaping the way people work within organizations. Accordingly, organizations are investing in further training of their employees. This investment raises a question: How does learning interact with skills application and operational excellence in the workplace? This research aims to explore the relationship between learning and operational excellence in the workplace by utilizing the mediating role of skills application. The sample data sets of 3,730 employees from a 2015 survey of a multinational knowledge-intensive company were used to perform mediation analysis using regression-based tests and bootstrapping. The findings show that learning affects operational excellence by affecting skills application. The measured effects are positive and significant, however, they are very small. These results suggest that learning and skills applications are only two of many factors which may influence operational excellence. This research is relevant for knowledge-intensive organizations to understand that learning activities in the workplace alone are not enough to boost operational excellence.","PeriodicalId":441958,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Research in Human Resource Management","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127950701","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}

Microenterprises (MEs) lack formal HRM systems, and thus reluctantly adopt such practices even in developed economies. Acquiring suitable human resources for women’s microenterprises has been problematic due to several reasons, such as high labor cost which is unbearable for MEs, MEs are not attractive for sustainable careers, women’s businesses are less attractive, and microenterprises are not that promising for young workers. Thus, it is interesting and exciting to learn how women micro-entrepreneurs manage human resources for the survival of their enterprises. Present study explores the best practices adopted by microenterprises led by women in a developed economy context. This study deploys a qualitative enquiry which consisted of semi-structured, in-depth, exploratory interviews with 15 women micro-entrepreneurs based in Tokyo, Japan in this exploration. The results reveal the vital issues faced by women micro-entrepreneurs and several interesting HRM strategies adopted by them for survival and growth of the businesses.","PeriodicalId":441958,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The International Conference on Research in Human Resource Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130656968","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 warning sign of demotivation which requires attention and addressed quickly can encourage employee contentment and professional retention. In an environment like Nigeria where demotivation is common in government owned institutions and hospitals most especially, it is worthy of research on why there seems to be demotivation in these hospitals and the reverse for institutions like Babcock University Teaching Hospital irrespective of numerous challenges hinging on it.
