“…These outcomes included organizational commitment, extra-role behavior and employee health/burnout, among others. This is in line with research that has shown a relationship between work value congruence and OCB (Cole et al , 2013), affective commitment (Astakhova, 2016; Ryu, 2015) and psychological well-being (Zhu et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the influence of both value congruence between employees and supervisors as well as the important role of employee voice for optimal outcomes in organizations. Design/methodology/approach A heterogeneous sample of 495 working adults across business sectors completed instruments on value fit, voice, citizenship behaviors, commitment and psychological well-being. Findings Results suggest when employees experience value fit with their immediate supervisor, they express voice in organizations. Employee voice partially mediated the effects of value congruence on citizenship behaviors, commitment and psychological well-being. Originality/value While it is common for employees and supervisors to share and observe personal values at work, few studies have considered the effects of alignment between these values. Further, this is one of the very few studies that have considered the employee consequences of this value congruence.

In order to enhance competitiveness in the fierce business environment, international organizations have to help their expatriates with cultural adjustment to the greatest extent possible. The paper provides useful implications for supporting successful adjustment from human resource management perspective, based on literature summary and case study, contributing to the innovation of cross-cultural research.

“…There are negative reinforcements that could also lead to changes in attitude towards positive learning outcomes (Hoadley & Kali, 2019;Manimaran et al, 2016). Changes in the way they perceive things may vary from different phases of their adjustment and adapting the culture unconsciously behind those experiences (Chao et al, 2017;Jones & Bond, 2019;Lent et al, 2015;Zhu et al 2016).

This study determined the challenging learning experiences of engineering students while completing their degree program as factor that might influence to their changing attitude towards achieving higher academic performance. Mixed method of research was utilised in the study considering the total population of 75 graduating students for quantitative and 12 students for qualitative part of the study using focus group discussion. Results showed that engineering students have significantly higher level of positive attitude towards academic performance during their junior level but significantly lower after taking professional courses. Attaining high academic performance still really matters for the engineering students during their junior level but continuously changing their perspective due to encountered challenging experiences while taking the professional courses. Performance in General Engineering courses describes the attitude of the students towards academic performance in personal aspect while professional courses define their attitude in professional aspect. The finding of the qualitative research revealed that there are three themes emerged in the challenging experiences of the engineering students and these are: Abandoned Social Freedom, Survival of the Fittest and Future Oriented Mindset which contributed to the changing perspectives of the engineering students.
