This study analyzes the Green Human Resource Management practices (GHRM) and their association with green organizational culture in Bangladesh's banking sector. This paper's framework consists of AMO and RBV theory. The study used a partial least squares structural equation modeling technique for data analysis. Self-administered questionnaires were used for data collection in four public commercial banks in Dhaka and Rajshahi divisions. Three hundred eighty-five employees from forty branches have participated in the data collection process. The findings show that Bangladeshi public commercial banks are concerned about green practices. Notably, green organizational culture has a significant positive relationship with GHRM practices, specifically, green job design, green human resource planning, and green induction management. However, green recruitment and selection and green training and development programs negatively impact creating an organizational green culture. These recommendations clarify the affiliation between sustainable GHRM practices and organizational culture, which can lead to sustainable workplace behaviors and foster an eco-friendly culture in banks. The study's limitations are cross-sectional design, generalizability, and lack of mediation analysis. Future researchers should employ more diverse techniques, different areas, and longitudinal techniques for gaining in-depth insights.
This study dives straight into how work environments are changing, technology is racing ahead, remote work is booming, and employee expectations keep shifting. It raises the question of whether traditional management practices remain effective and suggests the need to rethink not only management tactics but also the very structure of organizations. Drawing on a mix of candid industry perspectives and hard numbers on performance and satisfaction, the study repeatedly hints that simpler, flexible work setups tend to boost both how happy employees are and how well companies run. For example, healthcare faces its own set of challenges, balancing the relentless pressures of operations with the very human needs of its staff in a digital whirlwind. These findings seem to point to a kind of paradigm shift: adaptive management strategies could foster higher engagement, better retention, and improved productivity, which in turn might lead to better patient outcomes and, in some cases, even more resilient systems. This research, with its pointed insights, underscores the need to stay flexible in the face of modern management challenges, both in healthcare and across other fields.
The study addresses a crucial area of leadership development and competency enhancement in a major Indian corporation. It follows a data-driven approach, using survey-based research, data analysis techniques such as Python, Pandas, and Matplotlib, and effectiveness scores to provide empirical insights. By comparing different training modes like online, offline, and hybrid, the study helps organizations optimize their learning strategies. Its findings have real-world applica-tions, making them valuable for NTPC and similar large organizations, particularly for HR and leadership teams. Additionally, it provides actionable recommendations for improvement, such as enhancing role clarity, fostering leadership trust, and promoting a constructive feedback culture. The research contributes to optimizing leadership training programs for sustainable professional growth and organizational success.
This study investigates the impact of Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) on the livelihoods of rural poor communities in Mchinji District, Malawi, with a focus on savings, loan sizes, and interest rates. It highlights the challenges faced by rural people in accessing formal financial services, as microfinance institutions are mainly concentrated in urban areas. The study used a cross-sectional design with both descriptive and analytical methods, collecting data from 50 VSL beneficiaries. Findings reveal that participation in VSLAs has a positive impact on the livelihoods of rural people. Savings significantly increased after joining VSL groups, allowing members to accumulate capital that was otherwise difficult to access. Loans obtained through these groups were similarly beneficial, providing members with access to credit for investment and asset acquisition. However, high interest rates were found to be a major obstacle, negatively affecting the ability of rural poor individuals to borrow and acquire assets, thus limiting their economic progress. The research also found that women comprised the majority of VSLA beneficiaries. The study concludes that VSLAs serve as effective and low-cost financial intermediaries in rural areas but suggests that lowering interest rates could further enhance their positive impact. These findings provide valuable insights into how microfinance interventions can be designed to better serve the rural poor and inform future policies aimed at poverty reduction in Malawi.
This paper proposes a curriculum designed to equip MBA students with the critical skills needed to analyze, interpret, and leverage reports produced by major global financial institutions, including the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and key credit rating agencies. As financial markets become increasingly interconnected, a deep understanding of such reports is essential for future leaders to make informed decisions in investment, policy analysis, and risk management. The curriculum integrates methodologies for assessing macroeconomic indicators, fiscal policies, and sovereign credit ratings, fostering an understanding of how these reports influence global economic stability and financial markets. By introducing tools for interpreting financial data and analytical frameworks from diverse institutions, the program seeks to build proficiency in navigating the complexities of international finance, ultimately preparing students to contribute more effectively within global economic and investment landscapes.
