Research Objectives to analyze the effect of Training and Motivation on the performance of Busmetik business people with competence as intervening variabell. Training for cosmetic business actors has been routinely followed, however, the shrimp production target is still not optimally achieved. Quantitative methods are used in this study to prove the hypothesis regarding the relationship of research variables namely Training, Motivation, Competence and Performance. The results of the analysis show that training has a significant effect on competence, motivation has a significant effect on competence, training has a significant effect on performance, motivation has a significant effect on performance, competence has a significant effect on performance. The path analysis results show that competency is able to be an intervening variable for training and motivation for performance. Evident from  the  indirect  influence  of  training  and  motivation on  performance is  greater  than  the  direct  influence. Furthermore, for the Fisheries Office of Pasuruan Regency as a coach, it is necessary to pay attention to Training, Motivation and Competence in HR management because it affects performance directly or indirectly.

An empirical investigation of the relationship between market concentration and performance in the Greek banking, this paper finds that market concentration has a weak effect on bank profitability. This finding could be attributed to the long tradition of the Greek governments to keep the financial institutions under immediate either in the form of state-owned institutions or indirectly through a complex and rigid regulations concerning interest rates, credit standards and credit rationing.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to better understand the relationship between high-performance work practices (HPWP) and organizational performance through a multi-dimensional model of the relationship between HPWP and performance, which conceptualizes HPWP according to the ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) framework. HPWP are conceptualized as HR practices capable of enhancing the AMO of employees to contribute to organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 118 Jordanian firms operating in the financial and manufacturing sectors. A questionnaire completed by the HR director in each firm assessed HPWP adoption and their influence on organizational performance. Findings – The findings generate support for the link between HPWP and organizational performance and confirm the utility of the AMO model for conceptualizing HPWP and their impact on organizational performance. Research limitations/implications – While this study relies on cross-sectional data, it confirms the utility of the AMO framework as an appropriate conceptual basis for HPWP and provides substantial support for the relevance of HPWP in increasing organizational performance. Originality/value – The findings provide a basis for more consistent empirical investigation and better theory building for HPWP, and also provide a more robust basis for practical prescription. The empirical contribution is also significant as one of the few studies to investigate the link between HPWP and organizational performance in the Middle East.

ABSTRACTTrust is frequently espoused as being critical to effective team processes and performance. Yet, few studies have investigated the relationship between trust and team processes, or team effectiveness. There is currently a need to locate propensity to trust (a personality composition variable) and intragroup trust (an emergent state) within mainstream team effectiveness models, not only to provide much-needed theoretical and empirical support for trust's central role in team effectiveness, but also to increase our understanding of how trust influences team effectiveness. This paper argues that trust is a neglected variable within team effectiveness research that requires further empirical investigation.

The present review concerns certain Human Factors aspects of sport activities. Particular emphasis is given to evaluating experimental work in which the relationship between equipment design and performance capability has been examined. The criterion for inclusion in the current synthesis was the use of a cognitive or behavioral measure as a dependent variable in an empirical investigation. Although this excludes studies reporting physiological parameters, it is not to say such work may not form an important element of any future review. Where possible research was grouped according to some common theme or topic. In addition, the potential benefits of a cohesive study of Human Factors in sport are briefly outlined.
