Abstract

EP is one crucial aspect of the employment relationship in both private and public organisations in many countries. In 2001, Poole, Lansbury and Wiles developed a model for comparative EP, which they named the Favourable Conjunctures Model. So far, this model has only been applied in developed countries such as the United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia and Europe. There it was applied in order to examine worker participation from the national perspective. No extensive study has been conducted using this model to explain worker participation practices at the company level. In parallel with this aspect, this model also has never been used to explain the nature of EP in the Asian developing countries. This current research will use the Favourable Conjunctures Model to examine the nature of EP in private enterprises based on empirical study carried out in Malaysia. The argument of this paper is that the Favourable Conjunctures Model of Industrial Democracy (Poole et al. 2001) is inadequate to elucidate the characteristics of EP in Malaysia. Based on empirical findings from three private companies in Malaysia, the paper argues that there are many contextual factors that influence the nature of EP in Malaysian private companies that are not taken into account by the model. They are:multi-ethnic (cultural) influences, the repressive role of state in the Malaysian industrial relations, the New Economic Policy and industrialisation plan, Islamic working ethics, the influence of a British colonial history, lack of training among non-managerial employees in EP, the impact of foreign direct investment on industrial relations, to identify a few. Based on this study, it is proposed that the present Favourable Conjunctures Model of Industrial Democracy (Poole et al. 2001) be modified based on the contextual factors discussed above. The paper concludes that the western model of EP could not be directly applied in Malaysia without some adjustment of the model.

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of knowledge management and work-life balance on employee performance with the role of affective commitment as a mediator in the Indonesian public sector. Data were collected via an online questionnaire from 703 respondents who were Government Financial Institution (GFI) employees at the staff level with a minimum of one year of work experience. The questionnaire utilized a 7-point Likert scale measurement and data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques with Lisrel 8.8 software. The findings of the study indicate that knowledge management practices, work-life balance, and affective commitment positively and significantly influence employee performance. Additionally, affective commitment was found to partially mediate the direct relationships examined in this research. This study contributes to the field of Human Resource Management (HRM) by expanding the literature on knowledge management practices and work-life balance in the public sector, areas that have received limited research attention. Furthermore, this research offers novelty by investigating predictors of performance among public sector employees from Generation Y and Generation Z.

Abstract

This study compares a stress management program based on cognitive behavioural therapy principles with yoga-based stress management program. A study sample of 30 students, 15 male and 15 female from one of the local university in Sabah, was taken as subjects. The subjects were divided into 3 equal groups. The first group was given cognitive behavioural therapy, the second group was given yoga and the last group treated as control group. Trained group leaders were instructed the first and second groups, and 10 sessions were held with each group, over a period of 4 months. Psychological (self-rated stress, anger, exhaustion and quality of life) measurements were obtained before and after treatment with questionnaire. The results indicate that cognitive behaviour therapy is a promising stress management technique compared to yoga therapy and the control group. However, both interventions do not have any significant effects on quality of life. Makalah ini mengkaji perbandingan antara suatu program pengelolaan stres berlandaskan prinsip-prinsip terapi perilaku kognitif dengan suatu program untuk mengatasi stres yang menggunakan te- rapi yoga. Sampel berasal dari 30 mahasiswa suatu universitas di Sabah, yang terdiri atas 15 pria dan 15 wanita. Subjek dibagi menjadi tiga kelompok yang sama besarnya. Kelompok pertama menerima terapi perilaku kognitif, kelompok kedua menerima terapi yoga, sedangkan kelompok terakhir menjadi kelompok kontrol. Instruktur-terlatih memberikan terapi kepada kelompok pertama dan kedua dalam 10 sesi un- tuk setiap kelompok selama empat bulan. Pengukuran psikologis terhadap tingkat stres, kemarahan, ke- lelahan, dan kualitas hidup dilakukan sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan dengan memakai kuesioner. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa terapi perilaku kognitif merupakan teknik pengelolaan stres yang menjanjikan jika dibandingkan dengan terapi yoga dan kelompok kontrol yang tidak diberi perlakuan. Meskipun de- mikian, kedua intervensi tersebut tidak menunjukkan dampak yang signifikan terhadap kualitas hidup.
