Coronavirus (COVID-19), which hit in early 2020, changed the way people live and work, and affected industries and organizations all over the world. Many organizations have begun to deliver a new way of working to adapt to these shifts effectively using teleworking or a work from home policy. The purpose of this study was to fill the gaps by investigating several potential predictors of job satisfaction during working from home from the impact of COVID-19 such as work–life balance and work stress. Using a quantitative approach, 472 workers who were forced to work from home all over Indonesia participated, and the responses were analyzed using Smart-PLS software. The study revealed that working from home, work–life balance, and work stress have a significant effect, both directly and indirectly, on job satisfaction. Working from home as a new pace of work can sustain job satisfaction as the current working atmosphere for Indonesian workers. In response to the collectivist setting, working from home can be a positive sign that needs to be paid attention to for the organization.

Managers around the world need ideas and support to meet

This research aims to study and analyze the effects of human resource flexibility, employee competencies, organizational culture adaptation, and job satisfaction on employee performance. The study also examines the indirect effect between human resource flexibility and employee performance with the mediation of organizational culture adaptation and the effect of competence on employee performance through job satisfaction as a mediator variable. Using certain criteria, 105 employees of PT Pos Indonesia were selected as the sample. SEM-PLS was used to test the hypotheses. The study finds that human resource flexibility, employee competencies, and job satisfaction significantly influenced employee performance, but organizational culture adaptation did not have any significant effect on employee performance. Therefore, organizational culture adaptation was unable to mediate the effect of human resource flexibility on employee performance. However, job satisfaction partially mediates the effect of employee competencies on employee performance.

Purpose -This present work aims to report on a study that examines the applicability of Paternalistic Leadership (PL) to public sector organisations in Indonesia. The paper seeks to discuss whether the construct of PL is perceived the same way across different cultures on the basis of an empirically-based profile of Indonesian public sector leadership developed on the basis of a large-scale survey carried out in Indonesian government agencies. Design/methodology/approach -The study sample consisted of 1,000 civil servants in the East Java and Jogyakarta Special Region Provinces of Indonesia. Data were collected using simple random sampling techniques. The 42 items in the PL instrument were subjected to explanatory factor analysis (EFA) with variamax rotation. EFA was used to test the degree to which the model of PL proposed by Cheng applied to the Indonesian sample. Findings -Using confirmatory factor analysis the results showed that there are core similarities with the Cheng et al. model which has been tested in Taiwan. The Indonesian benevolent, moral-leadership behaviour is substantially confirmed with the model adopted for this study. According to civil servants' perception, it seems likely that Indonesian leaders are visible and authoritarian.Research limitations/implications -The findings are based on a relatively small proportion of the total number of Indonesian civil servants, and focuses on those who are most likely to still uphold Javanese values. Another limitation is in the design of the study, broader focus on PL will allow the study to explain in any detail what the actual impact of PL is on management practices. Practical implications -This research suggests that people teaching leadership or acting in leadership roles in Indonesia need to develop a clear understanding of the particular values of that country, rather than assuming that all Asian cultures are exactly alike. Originality/value -The paper adds insight into the applicability of PL in Indonesian public sector organizations.

Leadership in Indonesia is facing a dilemma. Taking into consideration the pressure exerted due to the country's instability over the past 10 years, there is an appearance that there is a lack of leadership capabilities in this multicultural country. In order to tailor effective leadership theory into the Indonesian environment, this article discusses the importance of valuing leadership from cross-cultural perspectives by beginning with the transformational leadership. The similarities in the values in Asian countries can help in the generalization of the implementation of leadership theory. Such as that in Taiwan which provided strong evidence for the practice of paternalistic leadership. However, there is no empirical evidence on the leadership style preferred by Indonesians. To address these theoretical weaknesses, this study presents a comparison of several characteristics of paternalistic leadership in Taiwan and Indonesia as a prerequisite for facilitating paternalistic leadership effectiveness.
