The conduct of health professionals as a result of their efforts heavily influences the quality of the services under study. To boost their efficiency and, by extension, the effectiveness of the health units, the administrations of the health units must place a high value on the use of the human component. Simply said, incentives are necessary to incentivize healthcare staff in order for them to please patients and improve their efficacy. Incentives provided to healthcare personnel appear to help them overcome these issues and provide patients with the best care possible, even in situations where they lack the appropriate resources and tools. Many academics argue that giving employees what they need in the form of incentives is a potent weapon that managers may use to motivate them and boost productivity. All health organizations should make use of this component, as it can assist them in addressing and resolving significant issues that restrict their effectiveness. In this context, it's critical to stress that motivating healthcare professionals is urgently needed because doing so improves their performance, which in turn improves the effectiveness of the services offered and the satisfaction of patients. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the potential sources of employee motivation at a public hospital in Northern Greece. Regression analysis was used to examine data that were gathered from 74 hospital personnel. The findings indicate that connections with co-workers and degree of performance are the primary drivers of employee motivation, with pay and job features playing a supporting role. These findings demonstrate that in order for the hospital's administration to increase employee performance, it is necessary to foster a positive work environment and recognize people for their contributions.","PeriodicalId":496514,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance","volume":"28 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348494","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, it will be investigated whether these associations are strengthened by the mediating effect of the positive Word of Mouth about the company as a desired employer. The Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) software was used on a sample of 737 students and recently graduates from Greek public universities. Overall, the findings of our research indicate the impact of a company's product/service brand awareness on the formulation of positive comments about the company as an employer. Indeed, product knowledge, when linked to company publicity initiatives and both are leveraged in a general pre-recruiting marketing plan of the HR department, positive Word of Mouth (WOM) commentary is enhanced. The information that job seekers receive from employees' feedback helps them to gain practical and useful details about the work conditions and the opportunities for training and personal development within it. Moreover, through the descriptions of the employee experience in the company the job seekers’ intention to search employment in this particular employer is strengthened.","PeriodicalId":496514,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance","volume":"28 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348496","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}
{"title":"Spiritual Leadership and Meaningful Work: The Roles of Intrinsic Motivation and Gender","authors":"Fidelis Udahemuka, Fred Walumbwa, Ben Ngoye","doi":"10.34190/ecmlg.19.1.1841","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34190/ecmlg.19.1.1841","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, many employees have come to view their work not only as a means to earn a living but also as a source of personal fulfillment and purpose. This shift in perception is driven by various factors, including changes in societal values and the human desire to make a difference in the world. As such, organizations with insufficient knowledge of employees’ need for meaningful work suffer reduced performance and productivity, higher employee turnover, and employees’ physical and mental work-related health conditions. Although prior studies have found that spiritual leadership positively and significantly influences employees’ meaningful work, relatively little is known about the underlying mechanism and the condition under which this relationship occurs. This empirical study aims to investigate how and when spiritual leadership relates to employees’ meaningful work focusing on intrinsic motivation as a mediator and employee gender as a moderator using data from employees of public and private commercial banks in Kenya. The study’s cross-sectional design adopted a self-reported data collection approach. The banks were stratified into three tiers: 1, 2, and 3, and 532 questionnaires were distributed to randomly selected respondents from the tiers, and 448 valid responses were received. A semi-structural equation modeling using SmartPLS 4 was used to analyze the data. The results reveal that spiritual leadership, directly and indirectly, impacts meaningful work partially mediated by intrinsic motivation, while gender moderates this relationship. The study contributes to theory by examining intrinsic motivation and gender as the underlying mechanisms of how and when spiritual leadership translates into employees’ meaningful work. Practically, the findings suggest that incorporating spiritual leadership as a potential leader behavior in the banking sector and paying attention to employees’ gender can improve the perception of meaningful work, which has been found to relate to employees’ well-being and positive job outcomes. Implications of our findings and recommendations for future research are further discussed.","PeriodicalId":496514,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance","volume":"28 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348497","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}
{"title":"HR Analytics in The Commercial Aviation Sector: a literature review","authors":"António Pimenta de Brito, Maria José Sousa","doi":"10.34190/ecmlg.19.1.1706","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34190/ecmlg.19.1.1706","url":null,"abstract":"HR Analytics is the area of Human Resources Management (HRM) that uses the techniques of artificial Intelligence, social sciences, and innovation to extract, treat, and present data for decision-making. This has been a big trend in HR in recent years, with already business cases, academic studies, and industry applications, but it is still in an early stage of development. The commercial aviation industry has people at the heart of its strategy, as it is a people-to-people service. But there are no satisfied customers without satisfied employees. In addition, the topic of aviation safety is a central one, and the sector has extensive regulations on the subject. Aviation safety is also based on human-machine interaction and crew resource management (CRM). People must therefore be in the core strategy of aviation companies because, for the provision of their service, the human factor in the interaction with the machine, the team, and the customer is a critical success factor. An appropriate approach to HR Analytics is to start with the problems that the business faces and, from there, create indicators and models that can measure them. In this paper, a sectoral and problem-based HR analytics is discussed, which is one of its main contributions. HR analytics techniques are descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. Starting from the nature of the air operation and its problems, HR analytics is an essential strategy to better know and act on the evidence of aviation service and operation. The purpose of this publication is to understand what academic studies exist on the applications of HR Analytics to the aviation industry. Through a literature review, it was concluded that the aviation sector has also few academic studies about HR analytics; however, there are already some indicators and models that can point in the right direction for the future. This is an area that can help measure performance indicators of HR policies and provide management with important data for decision-making in human resources management. The results of this research are presented, future research paths are suggested, and the limitations of this study are pointed out.","PeriodicalId":496514,"journal":{"name":"European Conference on Management, Leadership and Governance","volume":"24 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348506","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}
