Abstract

Purpose: The study intended to ascertain whether providing training and development facilities positively impacted the job commitment of entry-level garment employees in Bangladesh. Research Methodology: The response rate for the survey was 44.89%, derived from a sample size of 450 data points obtained by a basic random sampling technique. The study employed Microsoft Excel 2007, SPSS 22.0, and AMOS 23.0 to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to assess the strength and reliability of the suggested research framework. Results: The study revealed a significant enhancement in the level of commitment among lower-level employees in the Bangladeshi garment industry when provided with training and development potential. Limitations: One primary constraint encountered in this study pertained to issues associated with  data collection. The target demographic consists exclusively of individuals with lower levels of educational attainment. Allocating funds for research in finance remained a significant area of focus. As a result of these limitations, the survey was unable to gather nationwide data. Contribution: This study is distinctive as it focuses on individuals occupying lower-level positions within the Bangladeshi garment sector, exploring the potential avenues for professional advancement. Practical Implication: The study may benefit Bangladeshi garment firms' HR strategy and training and development plans. Environmental and internal variables can stress workers. Professional progress and quality training will help dedicated workers overcome these challenges. Novelty: The study is unique in two perspectives: the bottom-level employees and the emerging economy like Bangladesh.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the challenges, Benefits, and various determinants which play an important role in adopting social media among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bangladesh, based on the (Technology-Organization-Environment) TOE Model. The TOE framework seeks to understand the significant factors influencing the decision to adopt social media in SMEs in Bangladesh. Research methodology: In the study, a random sampling method was used to select a representative sample from the existing active SMEs in different regions of Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was designed to measure constructs such as relative advantage. Preliminary data were collected from 365 small and medium enterprises through field studies. Then the survey data were analyzed using logistic regression (L.R.) of the independent variables included in the TOE framework Results: The outcomes of the study found that only 5 variables: relative advantage, complexity, consistency, top management's assistance, and innovative management factors significantly influence SMEs' decisions to adopt social media. Limitations: The busy schedules of the respondents are key limitations for the study along with the study area. If the study could explore more districts besides Dhaka city, then the study outcomes would be more extensive. Contribution: The results from this study will help SME foundations, research institutes, and government policymakers to formulate strategies for optimal use of social media in SMEs.

Abstract

Purpose: The key aim of this study was to understand the employee engagement (EE) practice in decision-making from Vision Garment Limited's (VGL) perspective. Research Methodology: Two focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted based on judgmental sampling to understand the real scenario from two crucial viewpoints. Result: The study revealed employee engagement (EE) practice in decision-making exists in VGL. The key challenges were identified as proper knowledge and qualification, physical dispersion among the parties in some cases, middlemen between the parties, mutual understanding and respect, unwillingness to delegate power, and nonexistence or nonfunctioning of the plant-level trade union. Limitation: The study was just an exploratory type hence some descriptive results based on the above variables need to be explored. In addition, a few causal relationships among the variable can also be tested in this particular research domain. Originality: Most of the earlier researchers could not address Plant level Trade Unionism (TU) can be considered a platform of EE practice. However, this research has addressed the issue as evidence from the real-life investigation. In addition, the garment firms may allow the specialized garment business-related TU practice at the micro-level as a platform for their EE practice.
