This article attempts to find out if there is breadth in application of quantitative techniques in published literature within the field of human resource management (HRM). In addition, it investigates the holistic use of specific categories of statistics, and if there are categories that are neglected. The study utilises a combination of research questions and hypotheses. The broad categories of statistics that this study focussed on include descriptive, data science statistics, exploratory graphical, advanced statistics such as structural equation modelling, Bayesian statistics and inferential statistics. It goes further to study application of machine learning statistics in HRM research. Using archival methodology, the article utilises a sample of 120 journal papers to answer formulated research questions and hypotheses. Descriptive statistics, exploratory graphical analysis and inferential statistics are used in the analysis. The findings indicate that there are neglected statistics in HRM research. Overall, most statistical categories are underutilised. HRM journal editors, researchers and practitioners must stock HRM methodological toolbox.

(Extract) The well-being has been the highest topic for humanity throughout the adventure of mankind on the earth. Therefore, extensive efforts have been performed on the science of medicine, and glorious advances have been gained especially in the last two centuries. Research is essential for medicine to develop new therapeutic methods and to monitor the results of the current treatment given to the patient. These are possibly the simplest reasons for investigations in medicine. On the other hand, qualified human resource, research ethics, financial supports, regular data recording and analysis, and publication are important issues for improvement of the medical researches in the developing countries.

AbstractThe present study replicates previous surveys in examining Hong Kong employees' organisational commitment, intention to leave, job satisfaction, self-perceived performance, and motivational job characteristics. The results suggest few changes over the four year period examined, despite the 1997 transition to China approaching. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the dimensionality of the organisational commitment scale used and the impacts of aspects of organisational commitment on various human resource outcomes were examined. The results confirmed the three commitment dimensions proposed by the scale's developers and suggested that continuance commitment has the strongest relationship with people's intention to leave, value commitment has the strongest relationship with job satisfaction and also has a positive impact on performance.

Educational Importance

The paper presents a review of foreign studies of individual differences in creativity and executive functions (EF) carried out within the last decade. We consider mainly such EF as updating, inhibition and switching. The key research questions concern direct involvement of EF into creative abilities and their mediating role with respect to correlation of intelligence and creative performance. Studies applying structural equation modelling are being prioritized within the review. The key findings are described with respect to EF and (1) divergent and (2) convergent creative problem solving in adults. The latter includes performance on insight problems and remote associates tasks. Developmental perspective is highlighted by addressing to studies with children and adolescents’ samples involved. We discuss theoretical context, measurement issues as well as educational importance of the findings which link executive functioning and creativity within individual differences approach.

This study examines the interaction of culture and personality on how Javanese Indonesians mould their commitment by displaying loyalty or neglect behaviours. The hypotheses are tested with Structural Equation Modelling in a sample of 250 government employees. Likeability is revealed as the unique trait of respondents - that they attempt to avoid conflict and maintain harmony. Improper cultural manage-ment practices result in employees continuing “business as usual”, but their productivity is extremely low.

Abstract: Industrial revolution 4.0 drives significant transformation to all sectors, including the education sector. Head of school plays significant roles in transforming the education to adapt to the changes. Therefore, it is very important to understand factors explaining head of school performance in leading the school through industrial revolution 4.0. This study aims at empirically testing the relationships between information technology, inovative attitude, competency, work satisfaction, and performance of head of school. Quantitative approach was used to answer research questions. As many as 110 questionnaires were collected and analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling. This study indicates that informaton technology, innovative attitude, competency, significantly influence work satisfaction and performance of head of school. Keywords: Information technology; innovative attitude; competency; work satisfaction; performance; head of school; education 4.0 Abstrak: Revolusi industri 4.0 mendorong terjadinya perubahan signifikan pada berbagai sektor, termasuk pendidikan.

Innovation and Human Resource Management: the Greek ExperienceThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the pathways leading from innovation to organisational performance by using structural equation modelling. Specifically, we used this analytical tool to test a research framework that is constituted by a set of causal relationships between organisational contingencies, innovation, HRM policies (resourcing, training, rewards, relations), HRM outcomes (skills, attitudes, behaviour), and organisational performance. Employing data from organisations operating in the Greek manufacturing sector, results indicate that the impact of innovation on organisational performance is positive and mediated through HRM policies and HRM outcomes, and moderated by organisational context (management style, organisational culture).
