Abstract

Research Aims: Incorporating theories about psychological contracts and job characteristics, this research explores the relationship between different types of training events (i.e. on-the-job versus off-the-job training) and the turnover intention of female employees. Growth Need Strength (GNS) is a personality factor that strengthens this relationship. Design/Methodology/Approach: Empirical evidence for the research was derived from a survey that collected data from 221 female corporate officers in Vietnam, followed by a hierarchical regression. Research Findings: The results suggest that GNS significantly moderates the influence of off-the-job training on turnover intention. With higher levels of GNS, women who participate in more off-the-job training and development activities provided by the company are less likely to consider leaving. This moderating effect, however, does not significantly affect the relationship between on-the-job training and turnover intention. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The paper investigates on-the-job and off-the-job training and assesses their effects on turnover intention, with emphasis on female employees. Managerial Implications in the Southeast Asian Context: The results provide useful implications for organisational training of professional women in Southeast Asian countries, taking into consideration similarities in culture, social norms and organisational behaviour. Research Limitations and Implications: The research is limited by its sample and by a subjective self-assessment scale.

Abstract

Paper investigates the firm level determinants of cash holdings by Indonesian firms. It also examines net debt as substitute measure for cash holding in firm’s financial policies. Sample comprises of 483 Indonesian companies listed on Indonesia stock exchange. Study finds that firms with robust cash flows, and higher cost of capital hold more cash. Firms holding greater noncash liquid assets have moderate cash holdings. Cash holding is most relevant for financially constrained firms, and growth firms. Net debt appears to be most relevant element for low growth firms. No hedging firms are indifferent about their cash holdings and net debt.

Abstract

Research Aims: To analyse the organisational commitment of pharmacists in Vietnamese enterprises, incorporating elements such as job satisfaction, leadership style and demographic variables. Design/Methodology/Approach: Based on a primary data sample, collected from 300 pharmacists in professional organisations (universities, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and drugstore chains), and a structural equation model (SEM). Research Findings: The results show that organisational commitment is significantly dependent on perceived job satisfaction, leadership styles and demographic variables by pharmacists. Predictors of pharmacists' organisational commitment differed significantly. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This is the first study to consider factors affecting organisational commitment among pharmacists in Vietnamese enterprises. Managerial Implications in the Southeast Asian Context: This study could have potential practical implications in pharmacy management. Human resource management systems in each type of organisation (universities, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and drugstore chains) must be aware of different predictors that affect the pharmacists' commitment to their respective organisations and devise appropriate managerial standards. Research Limitations and Implications: Earlier research has shown that some control variables, such as age, gender, marital status, number of years in an organisation and level of education, which influence organisational commitments in particular, were not included in the model as direct control variables. Further research should use these control variables in their models to obtain a more complete explanation of organisational commitment among pharmacists in Vietnam.

Abstract

Research Aims: In line with international entrepreneurship theory, this study investigated the effects of entrepreneurial characteristics and government support on small and medium enterprise (SME) internationalisation and performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study focussed on Malaysia as a developing economy; data were gathered from 237 SMEs with international business operations to facilitate the examination of associative relationships among the variables. Research Findings: Results of structural equation modelling show that government support has a direct positive effect on internationalisation whereas entrepreneurial characteristics do not. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: Internationalisation is, however, a significant mediator only between government support and firm performance. Nevertheless, the firms' high mean scores in entrepreneurial characteristics suggest the possibility that government support can improve internationalisation only when entrepreneurial characteristics are strong. Managerial Implications in the Southeast Asian context: From a practical standpoint, the paper has emphasized the significance of government support in helping SMEs overcome their inexperience and size-related disadvantages. However, providing government support through direct state intervention and protectionist practices is not a sustainable strategy for business development in a region which is rapidly exposed to globalization and trade liberalization. Research Limitations and Implications: The results suggest a possibility that government support can improve internationalisation only when entrepreneurial characteristics are strong. In other words, instead of being a direct determinant of internationalisation, entrepreneurial traits may be a moderating factor between government support and internationalisation. However, this proposed moderating effect was not tested in the current study and needs to be investigated further in future.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study investigates the impact of innovativeness on competitive advantage along with the role of human capital and entrepreneurship orientation as drivers for innovation. Design/Methodology/Approach: The sample consists of small and medium sized manufacturers in Malaysia. A total of 193 firms participated. Data were collected via mail and drop-off survey and analysed using multiple regression analysis. Research Findings: The findings indicate that innovativeness significantly and positively influences competitive advantage. The effect of human capital and entrepreneurship orientation on innovativeness is also positive and significant. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The findings of this study also have theoretical implications wherein the results lend support to the appropriate role of innovativeness in creating competitive advantage and its role in the human capital and entrepreneurship orientation towards innovativeness. Managerial Implications in the Southeast Asian context: The present study suggests that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) managers should focus on developing organisational value and capacity to encourage the creation of novel business solutions. These resources are entrepreneurship orientation (EO) and human capital. Successful export ventures, with a background of limited resources, can be achieved by employing incremental internationalisation frameworks. Research Limitations and Implications: This study bears several limitations. First, most of the samples are businesses owned by the Malay and may not be generalised to other ethnicities such as Chinese or SMEs in other emerging countries. Second, the competitive advantage is contingent on the external environment, and the results may vary when factoring in the effect of the external environment.

Abstract

Research Aims: We analyse the impact of lean operations implementation on the performance of an Indonesian shoe producer, identify key success factors of the implementation and propose further improvements to increase company performance Design/Methodology/Approach: A mix of quantitative and qualitative methods is employed. Comparisons of operational and financial performance before and after implementation are conducted to analyse the program's impact. In-depth interviews with six representatives from the shoe producer and its vendor are conducted to rank the key success factors and gain insights into their lean operations implementation. Research Findings: The shoe producer experienced a significant increase in performance after implementing lean operations, and the five most important success factors of the implementation were management commitment and involvement, teamwork, communication, cultural-change management and sustainability of improvement activities. The current performance can still be improved by utilising information technology, implementing a Kanban system, providing direct delivery of raw materials and reducing lead times. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The paper provides new insights into the challenges faced by the Indonesian shoe producer, especially in its operations and highlights five critical success factors of lean operations implementation. Managerial Implications in the Southeast Asian Context: Results of the present study can be used by other companies in a similar industry in the region to improve their operations and financial performance. Research Limitations and Implications: The impact of implementing lean operations with the proposed improvements to the company's costs and revenues has not been studied in detail.

Abstract

Research Aims: Work-life balance (WLB) and employee engagement are regarded as factors or catalysts with the potential to ensure a firm's continuous growth. Hence, imbalance between work and personal life causes higher stress that might lead to greater turnover intention among employees. As such, employees' ability to achieve WLB with organisational support should lead to higher job engagement, commitment and better job performance. This study examines a holistic view of the link between WLB, job engagement and turnover intention. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data was gathered using a quantitative study by distributing a questionnaire survey to 213 executive employees in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Research Findings: Interestingly, the findings revealed a direct relationship between work-life conflicts and job engagement and turnover intention. There is also a significant correlation of job engagement to employees' turnover intention. However, no mediation effect of job engagement is found between WLB and turnover intention. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study links all the three variables-WLB, job engagement and turnover intention-in a holistic way. Managerial Implications in the Southeast Asian Context: It is imperative to have WLB practices in organisations to support employees in order to ensure their well-being and thus, increase their engagement and retention. These findings, discovered among executives in Malaysia, provide recommendations to practitioners on this topic, including companies and regulatory bodies. Research Limitations and Implications: Most of the samples were drawn from the millennial generation; their expectations towards work life intervals might be different from mature adults.

Abstract

Research Aims: Some Islamic banks have experienced decreasing performance after spinning off from the parent company, and it is presumed that the amount of capital may have contributed to the decline. Hence, this paper aims to find a minimum amount of capital that Islamic banks must own after spin-offs in order to be able to compete in the market and to achieve excellent performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: We employ the OLS method for small banks (assets below Rp 5 trillion) with variable Capital as the dependent variable and Bank Performance (ROA, ROE, BOPO, and NPL) as the independent variable. We conduct several rounds of regression analysis by including different dummy variables to capture an increase in bank performance when certain capital limits are applied. Various results of the interaction between Capital and Bank Performance are mapped into the frontier line formed by the regression equation. We then compare the frontier results with the actual bank identifier to map the position of each bank relative to the frontier. We add cluster analysis to confirm the results further. Research Findings: Descriptive statistics of the small banks shows that conventional banks perform better in overall performance, efficiency and risk in comparison with the Islamic banks. Several dummy variables are set to represent the size of bank capital (Rp. 800 billion, Rp. 1 trillion, Rp. 1.2 trillion, and Rp. 1.5 trillion), and all dummy variables are significant; the corresponding coefficient reveals that the higher the capital, the better the average performance. Also, the relationship between performance and bank capital is a non-linear (quadratic) relationship that is convex, indicating that capital is not the only critical factor that contributes to the bank’s improvement. The cluster analysis partially confirms that there is a specific pattern of capital in each of the clusters. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The result of this study is in line with some previous literature on the relationship between capital and bank performance. In banks with small capital, capital has a positive influence on bank performance but has the opposite effect after reaching a certain point. In the literature related to spin-offs in Islamic banking, there are only a few studies about the performance of small banks after the spin-off and even fewer (or none) that discuss the critical role of capital and its relationship with the bank’s performance after the spin-off. Our findings support previous studies conducted by Siswantoro (2014). Managerial Implications in the South East Asian Context: With the implementation of the dual banking system in several southeast Asian countries, many conventional banks have Islamic bank subsidiaries. Findings from this research could help banking regulators in the South East Asian countries to carefully re-evaluate their spin-off strategy for the unit bank, especially regarding the limit of capital requirement before the spin-off. The bigger the capital size, the better the performance of the business unit after the spin-off. Research Limitation & Implications: This research only uses variable capital as a determinant for the bank’s performance after spin-offs. However, as suggested by the resulting R-Squared from the regression formula (66%) and the convex trend line of the frontier analysis, other factors may contribute to the banking performance. Future research should include several other indicators for spin-off success, such as parent-subsidiary relationship (Tubke, 2004; Lindholm-Dahlstrand, 2000) and parent’s size (Cristo and Falk, 2006), credit and liquidity position before spin-offs.

Abstract

Research Aims - This research intends to study the extent of work-life balance and the level of satisfaction among women teachers assigned in the northernmost part of the province of Surigao del Sur and to determine if there is a significant relationship between them. Design/methodology/approach - This study used the descriptive normative and correlation method. The adopted questionnaire was modified and used. A total of 226 women teachers were chosen as respondent but only 210 participated. The data gathered from the questionnaire were tallied, tabulated, analyzed and presented in tables. Research Findings - The result shows that majority of the teachers answered “moderate extent” to the work life balance under personal and work environment and mostly “satisfied” on the level of satisfaction. It concludes that there is a significant relationship between the work life balance and level of satisfaction. Theoretical Contribution/Originality – Significant relationship between the work life balance and the level of satisfaction were tested in this study and showed that there is a relationship of work and life balance and the level of satisfaction among women teachers assigned in the northernmost part of the province of Surigao del Sur. Managerial Implications in the South Asian Context – Managers or administrators in Southeast Asian context especially in the education sector have to consider not only the work of their women employees in their institution but also their personal life because once these two balanced; this could lead to high level of job satisfaction. As an effect, this could heighten the level of commitment and their loyalty. Research limitations and recommendation – This study limits only to women teachers assigned in the northernmost part of the province of Surigao del sur. This paper offers for further research to other sectors.

Abstract

Research Aims - This study was undertaken to extend existing literature by examining the mediating effect of trust in supervisors in the relationship between perceived interactional fairness in reward systems and organizational commitment. Design/methodology/approach - The SmartPLS method was applied to analyze the survey questionnaire data collected from employees at a national audit department in Malaysia. Research Findings - The results reveal that the effect of perceived interactional fairness in reward systems on organizational commitment is mediated by trust in supervisors. Theoretical Contribution/Originality - This study has proved the effectiveness of perceived interactional fairness as an essential mediating variable in the administration of reward systems. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian context - The findings of this study could help superiors in public organizations to encourage and support their supervisors in implementing good treatment styles for enhancing fairness in making pay decisions and interacting with diverse subordinates. If employees trust their supervisors, it may enhance the effect of employees’ perceived fairness of reward systems on organizational commitment in public organizations in Southeast Asia. Research limitation & implications - This study is limited by its sample, self-report questionnaire scale, and exclusion of several important demographic variables (e.g., gender, age, education, position, and duration of service) in the research model.
