The COVID-19 pandemic has already led to over 94 million confirmed cases and over 2 million deaths globally (John Hopkins CRC, 2021). Due to the magnitude of the socio-economic damage of COVID-19 all over the world, we analyzed the critical country-level determinants of the death rate during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have examined the effects of GDP (allocated to pandemics and health), education, gender, cultural factors, number of physicians (per 1000 of the population) on the death rate. A correlation between the death rate and socio-economic conditions has been observed. The finding shows that power distance, individualism, gender, and age affect the death rate more than other socio-economic factors we use. We have also performed the same analysis by using Lockdown levels as a moderator. Lockdown levels have a more significant moderating effect on cultural factors rather than the other socio-economic factors. However, due to the topic's sensitivity, we still need to pay attention to the socio-economic factors that may have lower levels of significant relationship with the death rate, since even 0.1 % of changes in coefficients of our other socio-economic variables could mean thousands of lives. The study results will help health organizations, administration, and policymakers take the necessary steps to combat and manage the pandemic.
The study was conducted to explore the extent of human resource management (HRM) usually practiced by five prominent commercial Banks of Bangladesh. The survey activities were done by the combination of structured questionnaire, unstructured interview and observation methods in order to examine the issues involved in employee selection and recruitment, salaries and wages, job analysis methods, performance evaluation, audit promotion scheme, Training & Development programs. In this paper a five point likert scale is used to measure major problems of HRM in commercial Bank and also record the employees' opinion on eight indicators to measure their levels of job satisfactions.
