Purpose This study aims to investigate whether the impact of effectiveness of diversity training on affective commitment is different for men versus women and whether affective commitment mediates the relationship between effectiveness of diversity training and employee outcomes of turnover intention and job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected from 134 employees working in an Australian manufacturing organization by using an employee survey. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data using AMOS. Findings The results of this study support the proposed hypotheses, demonstrating a significant, indirect effect of effective diversity training on job satisfaction and turnover intention via affective commitment. Moreover, gender moderates the relationship between effective diversity training and affective commitment. Practical implications The findings suggest that organizations can enhance affective commitment and job satisfaction and reduce turnover intention by providing effective diversity training to employees. Gender of employees should also be considered when evaluating the effectiveness of training. Originality/value This study provides pioneering evidence of the following relationships: diversity training effectiveness and turnover intention via affective commitment; diversity training effectiveness and job satisfaction via affective commitment; and diversity training effectiveness and affective commitment for men versus women.
Over the course of the year, the study of engaged employees has drawn increased attention. In accordance with the social learning theory, people pick up skills from verbal, symbolic, and living role models through their behaviors. Through the use of employee perceptions of corporate social responsibility as a mediator, this research seeks to inspect the connection between participatory leadership and engagement of employees. The study is unusual because it examines the underlying mechanism between participatory leadership and commitment using employee perceived CSR as a mediator for the first time in literature. The 348 replies were gathered from hotel industry workers. The outcomes were analyzed using a structural equation modelling approach. The findings demonstrated a strong correlation between participatory leadership and employee engagement. Employee perception of CSR plays a factor in mediating the influence of participatory leadership on engagement of employees. This article explores the responsibilities of participative leaders and their influence on employee engagement using motivational and multilevel perspectives, with the mediation function of employee perception of CSR. This study has important ramifications for businesses and managers, particularly in terms of increasing employee engagement.
Purpose: Making jobs challenging and interesting is becoming a new trend in organizations and is related to job crafting behavior. Employees with different sort of wellbeing predict diverse crafting behaviors. This study is about making comparisons between the two states of wellbeing that can be differentiated on theoretical backgrounds: work engagement and work holism. Specifically, both well beings may differently predict job crafting behavior Design/Methodology/Approach: This study was quantitative in nature and applied on a sample of 285 faculty members working in higher education institutions in Pakistan. Further, the moderating effect of perceived organizational support was tested by using the SEM-AMOS. Findings: The findings revealed that engaged employees always craft their jobs even if they don’t perceive considerable support from their organizations. But the employees who are workaholic, do not usually craft their jobs, but adopt job crafting behavior when they perceive an organizational support. Implications/Originality/Value: This study points towards an important theoretical connection between employee wellbeing and job crafting behavior. It concludes that employee wellbeing is essential for job crafting and, specifically, for workaholic employees, perceived organizational support is also important.
Background: For the last few decades there has been a substantial concern regarding the increasing prevalence of multidrug resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter species in hospitals. Aim: To determine the outcomes with intrathecal polymyxins therapy in patients with multidrug resistant Acinetobacter species nosocomial meningitis. Place and duration of study: This Retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Infectious Diseases, Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi Pakistan between 2010 and 2014. Methodology: Twenty six patients who developed post neurosurgical MDR Acinetobacter nosocomial meningitis age above 18 were included, while those with polymicrobial meningitis, and those patients who only received intravenous polymyxins were excluded. The primary outcome is ability and time to sterilize the cerebrospinal fluid Results: The mean age was 42.9±11.5 years. Cerebrospinal fluid sterilization was observed in 24 patients in a median of 4 days. One patient made complete recovery, 16 patients recovered with neurological deficits and five patients expired. A trend of early cerebrospinal fluid sterilization was observed in patients with continuous intrathecal therapy. The time to cerebrospinal fluid sterilization is similar with intrathecal colistin or polymyxin. Conclusion: Intrathecal polymyxins are safe and efficacious in the treatment of multidrug resistant nosocomial Acinetobacter species meningitis. Keywords: Intrathecal, Polymyxins, Multidrug resistant, Acinetobacter species, Nosocomial, Meningitis
