The writer would like to propose the direct influence of promotion toward intention to visit. This paper is aimed to see prospects' perception toward its promotion. Next, the writer would like to explore the influence of country's perception, AM, and EB toward the intention to visit. It is interesting to understand that they function as crucial factors which are considered deeply by prospects before the decide where to go. Hence, it is important to analyze their influence toward intention to visit and including which one is more dominant. This paper proposes 7 hypotheses to analye the relationship above. Data is analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with Lisrel 8.80. The data shows that promotion influences country's perception, AM and EB significantly. On the other hand, emotional bonding influences intention to visit significantly. This research has implications that promotions which are held by countries for tourism should be targeted correctly. Media of promotion or time of promotion have to be analyzed promptly in order to gain effective campaign for prospects. On the other hand, the promotion which is able to create EB or AM has to be developed continuously by tourism industry. Furthermore, marketers need to think appropriate marketing strategies to create a strong emotional bonding between prospects and country.

Abstract

This study was conducted to measure the mediating effect of distributive justice on the relationship between pay level, pay structure, and job commitment. A survey research method was used to gather 194 usable questionnaires from academic staff of 15 Malaysian public community colleges (MPCC). Outcomes of testing mediating model using a stepwise regression analysis showed that distributive justice has increased the effect of pay design features (i.e., pay level and pay structure) on job commitment. This result confirms that distributive justice does act as a full mediating variable in the pay design models of the organizational sector sample. In addition, implications of this study to compensation theory and practice, methodological and conceptual limitations, as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not selected factors are related to faculty job satisfaction and dissatisfaction at two selected private unversities in South-East Asia. It is an attempt to find out how faculty members feel about their jobs. What pleases them in their work? What are the intrinsic rewards they attain? What brings dissatisfaction or tends to frustrate them? Hence, this study employs the Herzberg Two-Factor theory to determine how selected factors are related to job satisfaction of university faculty members. The conclusions drawn from this study are that the major sources of job satisfaction for university faculty members are shown to be policy and administration, and salary. The relevant sources of dissatisfaction were personal achievement, personal growth, interpersonal relations, recognition, responsibility, supervision, the work itself, and the overall working conditions. The study also has a number of practical impliations for institutional administrators, because if the educational intitution has no instrument designed to measure faculty perceptions of their jobs and work, these administrators could elect to use the same instrument that investigates the areas of job satisfaction to gain similar results.

Abstract

Statistics indicate that most mergers and acquisitions are not very successful. At the same time, similar reasons for success and failure have been reported over the past decades by different scholars. Frequent mentioned reasons are related to finansial or legal issues during the pre-merger phase and cultural or integration issues during the post-merger phase. This far, hardly any study examined the learning effect of previous mergers and acquisitions experiences. This paper focuses on the post-merger integration phase of mergers and acquisitions, and the learning elements. First results indicate that managers can learn from previous experience and thus increase changes for success of partnerships. Future studies could further explore 'best practices' of how to organize and facilitate the learning process of mergers and acquisitions. Further, concerning managerial experiences, it would be interesting to discern between more geral lessons, and context-spesific lessons of mergers as well as of other kinds of strategic partnerships.

Abstract

The need for corporate firms to gain competitive advantage in a highly competitive global environment has necessitated the adoption of innovative strategies, one of them being mergers and acquisitions. Selden and Colvin (2003) have stated that 70%-80% of acquisitions fail, meaning that they create no wealth for the share owners of the acquiring company. Schmidt (2003) has identified five major roadblocks to M & A success, three of which are HR issues. It has been established that there is a strong direct correlation between human resource involvement and 'success' in mergers and acquisitions (Schmidt, A.J., 2003). A positive association was found between human capital indicators and organizational performances (Seleim, Ashour, and Bontis, 2007). It was found that human capital development and enhancement in organizations contribute significantly to organizational competencies which in turn became a great boost for further enhancing innovativeness (Bontis and Fitzenz, 2002). As a research gap has been found in the study of human capital development interventions used during mergers and acquisitions, the present research aims to study the role of human capital development interventons used during integrations stage of mergers and acquisitions. Both quantitative as well as qualitative study has been carried out to capture a more complete portrayal of the subject.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between marketing capability and export performance and the moderating effect of export dependence. The marketing capability of Thai agro-based exporting firms can be classified into four dimensions, namely product capability, distribution capability, price capability, and promotion capability. Among the four dimensions of marketing capability, only price capability and promotion capability are significantly and positively related to export performance. Export dependence moderates the relationship between distribution capability as well as price capability with export performance. Firms with high export dependence register higher export performance when marketing capability in term of distribution capability is high. Similarly, firms with high export dependence register higher export performances when marketing capability in term of price capability is high.

Abstract

This qualitative paper aims to understand the activities and strategic role played by Human Resource (HR) professionals in the Indian IT organizations. This paper presents results from an exploratory field study of HR professionals in 28 IT organizations of Bangalore. Data is collected from HR professionals in these organizations to assess career support that HR professionals receive, the size increase of these professionals given the overall manpower size increase (HR density), replication of parent's HR practices, and the HR activities these professionals engage in, in this sector. Results showed that HR played an important role in recruitment, culture building and training and development. However technical personnel seemed to have a greater say in compensation related activities, even though it is traditionally a core HR activity. The strategic contribution of HR to the organization was also analyzed. It was found that in these organizations, the strategic role of HR was understood. The growth in the number of HR professionals with reference to the age of the company was also looked at. It is evident that initially for a young company there is a high need for HR personnel and as the companies grows old the HR processes get standardized and hence the requirement for new HR personnel decreases. The higher HR density has implications on HR activities practices in Indian IT companies. Likewise the more fully parent's HR practice is replicated in Indian IT companies, the more some HR activities are influenced.
