In an uncertain global business environment, eff ective human resource management is a crucial element in improving organizational eff ectiveness. However, relatively little research has examined the characteristics of transformational leadership and the types of organizational culture suitable for improving organizational eff ectiveness in the sport management fi eld. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between transformational leadership of immediate superiors, organizational culture, and aff ective commitment in fi tness club employees. For this purpose, a survey was given to a convenience sample of 300 employees of fi tness clubs working in the Gwangju and Dae-gu metropolitan cities in South Korea. The data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, and multiple regression analysis. The major fi ndings of this study were as follows. First, transformational leadership had a signifi cant eff ect on the organizational culture in fi tness clubs. Second, transformational leadership had a signifi cant eff ect on aff ective commitment of employees of the fi tness clubs. Third, organizational culture had a signifi cant eff ect on aff ective commitment of employees in fi tness clubs. The fi ndings of this study may be helpful for fi tness clubs to determine the characteristics of transformational leadership and the types of organizational culture needed to improve aff ective commitment of employees.

The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of development of skilled work force through investment in training, welfare, working conditions, and wages on the logistics performance index. It also discusses the effect of skilled labour on logistics cost, logistics time, reliability, flexibility, and safety of a logistics system. The paper is based on a case study conducted on an Indian Logistics Service provider. A causal loop diagram and the stock and flow diagram have been developed according to system dynamics modelling principles. The simulation result shows significant improvement in the logistics performance index. The reduction in logistics cost and logistics time is 12 % and 80 min, respectively. With training provided to 36 % employees of the company, the retention rate improved by 58 % and score of recruitment reached to 4.4 out of five. The paper shows that investment done in human resources in the Indian logistics sector will help the logistics service providers and their customers in terms of improved logistics performance and higher profits and will also improve the image attractiveness of the Indian logistics industry.
