Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a new typological environmentally sustainable human resources management evaluation framework to aid green candidate selection process for environmental management in developing economy local government agencies. Design/methodology/approach Presenting the narrative of developing economies local government context, this paper conducts an extensive review of relevant literature on green human resources management (GHRM) and green recruitment and selection. Findings Drawing on Siyambalapitiya et al. (2018) and the resource-based theory (RBT), the paper proposes and discusses an evaluation framework for guiding organizations’ green candidate selection process. The framework comprises of seven stages which begins with “training recruiters on green candidate assessment” to “making selection decision and inducting selected candidate” on organization’s environmental management policies and practices, and its green values. Research limitations/implications Application of the proposed framework has implications for enhancing organizations’ efficiency, reducing cost, eliminating environment waste, as well as fostering green culture among employees. This paper also extends the strand of RBT by explaining how organizations could assess and select job applicants with significant intangible capability such as environmental management skills, knowledge and values to foster its competitive urge and sustainability. Originality/value This paper makes two main contribution to the GHRM literature. First, the paper proposes a new typological environmentally sustainable human resources management evaluation framework. Secondly, the paper focuses the framework on developing economies and local government organizations context, something that is currently non-existent.

Abstract Selection of an appropriate sterilization modality requires an understanding of certain key aspects of the product under consideration. Primary aspects to be considered include understanding of the product's intended use and details of the product design. This article reviews these primary considerations for sterilization modality selection and demonstrates the sterilization modality selection process through several example case studies.

There is extensive evidence to suggest that many industrial products are designed with far too many parts. Design for assembly (DFA) case studies indicate that, in many designs, large proportions of excess components are only used for joining. In many cases an excessive number of incorrect joining processes are used, possibly due to a lack of knowledge of such factors as availability, cost and functional performance of alternatives. Selection methodologies exist for some individual joining technologies. However, selecting the most appropriate technology is usually left to the designer through a non-formalized judgemental approach. This paper introduces a new methodology for identifying the most appropriate joining technology and its specific process variants, through both a paper-based methodology and software implementation, as a part of a proactive approach to DFA. The underlying strategy adopted is described and the selection process itself and its application to industrial case studies is demonstrated.

This paper analyzes how democratization has affected the dynamics of candidate selection in South Korea. After democratization in the late 1980s, it was expected that intra-party democracy would follow. In response to increasing public demand, the major parties adopted primary systems in the early 2000s. Nonetheless, most candidates for the legislature are still nominated by a small number of central party elites without additional ballots in the local branches. To explain the persistence of such exclusive, centralized features of candidate selection, I highlight the limited impact democratization has had on the political environment in which the parties operate. More specifically, since the 1987 democratization process resulted in a compromise agreement established by a small number of party leaders, South Korea retained much of the political legacy from authoritarian times, such as an electoral system advantageous to the major parties and legal provisions restricting electoral campaigns, party activities, and political participation. The continuation of these political institutions makes radical candidate selection reform highly unlikely as the party elites have no incentive to expand and decentralize the selection process. Without significant changes to the political institutions at the national level, the dominance of the central party elite over the final outcome of candidate selection looks likely to continue for the foreseeable future.

This contribution takes a look back at the supply and demand model of selection and recruitment, developed by Joni Lovenduski and Pippa Norris in Political Recruitment: Gender, Race and Class in the British Parliament (1995). The core understanding of this model was that candidate selection was an interactive process in which both selectors and aspirants affected outcomes that were organized in several sets of institutions. The model illuminates power in particular institutions – British political parties – and was designed to examine the various effects of the selection process. This contribution reflects on the model and puts forward ideas and arguments about what might be done differently, taking into account the theoretical and methodological innovations of the succeeding generation of scholars who have used the model. It also identifies remaining challenges for research on candidate selection and suggests that the supply and demand model is sufficiently flexible that it can still travel across national, system and party boundaries.

Abstract Over the years, there have been a variety of changes to candidate selection methods for the Israeli Knesset. As a result, there have been changes in the way the Knesset functions. This study investigates whether these changes have made legislators more productive. To explore this issue, we used Akirav’s (2016) legislative productivity scale with data from the 14th, 16th and 19th Knesset (Israel’s parliament) terms to test several hypotheses. We found that in Israel, the candidate selection process affects legislators’ productivity, with the 19th Knesset proving the most productive. Nevertheless, in Israel, legislators’ productivity does not affect the likelihood of them being reelected.
