Purpose — This research aims to formulate a holistic concept of neuroincome. Design/methodology/approach — The data collected are from various commercial bank employees’ experience with variation grade and position, local and international bank in Indonesia. Based on a spiritualist paradigm, the data are analysed by intuition using Taubat, Zikir, Doa, and Tafakur (TZDT) method within the framework of Neuro-Psycho Spiritual (NPS) methodology. The NPS methodology is used as an integrated science to study humans holistically by including materialistic, psycho, and spiritual dimensions. While the intuition in TZDT frame is a tool utilized to analyze data that relies entirely on God's guidance in the form of intuition and sense. Findings — The result of the study is a holistic concept of neuroincome in the form of “extra” income and physical goods possible converted financially, earned by an individual as his/her working compensation stimulated by company’s tool/policy/system in workplace such as bonuses financially or bonus in the form of distribution of company shares, incentives, fringe benefits, performances allowances, job allowances, award, facilities and other related financial compensation. The positive stimuli happened if the nerves stimulate the release of hormone to perceive income in positive attitude such as empathy, helpful and sincerity. The negative stimuli happened if the nerves perceive the income excessively so it could make unethical actions or fraud. Then, qona’ah (sufficient sense) and modesty are found intuitively as a solution of “tyranny bottom line” in workplace. These attitudes stimulate a resurrection of the harmony of materialistic, psycho, and spiritual consciousness to live in a holistic way and bring closer to God in everyday working life. Practical Implications — The holistic concept of neuroincome is explained through Neuro-Psycho Spiritual (NPS) methodology. Originality/value — Authors are using various commercial bank employees’ experience with variation grade and position, local and international bank in Indonesia as their subject.

Practical Implications

Using conservation of resources theory as a framework, we proposed that in Chinese organizations, leader bottom-line mentality (BLM) would promote employee silence via emotional exhaustion. We also examined employee conscientiousness as a moderator of this indirect relationship. We collected three-wave data from 325 employees in four Chinese companies. Results show that leader BLM was positively related to employee silence, and employee emotional exhaustion mediated the positive relationship between leader BLM and employee silence. In addition, employee conscientiousness served as a first-stage moderator, such that the indirect relationship between leader BLM and employee silence via employee emotional exhaustion was significant and positive only when employee conscientiousness was low. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Abstract Corporate scandals are not a phenomenon that is unique to the banking industry. However, the examples of misconduct of individual bank employees or even of entire banks that popped up in recent years have promoted the interest in business culture and business ethics in the banking industry. Honesty is one important cultural and ethical dimension. Based on their results of a survey in a large, international bank Cohn et al. (2014a), for example, conclude that the banking industry’s business culture favours dishonest behaviour of employees. The present paper applies the design of Cohn et al. (2014a) to a small sample of regional cooperative banks in Germany in order to verify their outcome. The results of Cohn et al. (2014a) cannot be confirmed. There is no evidence of more dishonesty among employees of the banks in the sample relative to a control group. Business culture in the banking industry differs between banks or group of banks, a fact that needs to be considered e.g. by legislators. JEL Classification: C12, M14, G21, G41

Trickle Down

AbstractThis research presents and tests a trickle-down model of social undermining in the workplace. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study specifically demonstrates that supervisor social undermining is positively associated with coworker social undermining in the workplace. Furthermore, this study argues that employee bottom-line mentality will exacerbate the positive relationship between supervisor social undermining and coworker social undermining, whereas employee self-efficacy will buffer this positive relationship. Overall, our findings support our proposed trickle-down model using field data obtained from several information technology and financial organizations in India. Theoretical and practical implications as well as directions for future research are discussed.

Purpose of this paper Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings One of the features of modern business is the increased involvement of customers in product and service development. Managers are consistently being told to engage with customers more and create a feedback loop so that what they develop can be enhanced. Articles in glossy executive magazines recommend this approach; product managers recommend this approach; it seems that any firm that did not include its users in enhancing its latest offering is doomed to failure. And yet, what evidence are there that such approaches actually benefit the bottom line? Like many developments in corporate culture previously, does the inclusion of customers in product development make sense, or is it simply another corporate fad? Practical implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. What is original/value of paper? The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine regulatory sanctions from an emerging economy perspective and analyzing the impact of regulators imposed monetary sanctions on banks’ performance. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted correlational research design to examine the effect of regulatory penalties on the performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. This study used panel data from a sample of 15 deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period of 2006-2015. Multiple regression analysis was carried out. Findings Results showed that penalties imposed by regulators in the Nigerian banking industry have no significant impact on the bottom line of the defaulters. Penalties imposed on foreign exchange and international trade related infraction showed that the cost of penalties is below the benefits enjoyed from such infractions. Practical implications The insignificant impact of penalties on performance implies that deposit money banks have considered penalties imposed by regulators as operational expenses and transferred such to customers. Originality/value The study differs from other studies that examined regulatory penalties on performance by focusing on financial performance and using data from an emerging economy perceived to have weak regulatory environment.

Fundamental Objective

On March 8, 2020, the first Covid-19 case was registered in Bangladesh, and the first death occurred on March 18, 2020. Still, the positive corona patients including banking employees are rising around and many negative thoughts are also increasing day by day in mind. These circumstances make the employees worried. Consequently, this paper's fundamental objective is to find out the psychological status of private commercial bank employees during COVID-19. Using a random sampling technique and a questionnaire through "Google Form" the data was gathered from 151 employees. For the completion of the data analysis procedures, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-22 Version) was used. The major findings showed a maximum of 91% of employees felt nervous when s (he) hears someone died from COVID-19. In addition, 83% of employees are always fear of COVID-19 infection, 81% of employees are fear when they hear someone got tested positive for COVID-19. Besides, 49% of bank employees cannot concentrate on their regular activities while 40% of employees are stressed to lose their current job due to COVID-19. The policy-making authorities of private commercial banks in Bangladesh will get an opportunity to know the employees' psychological status during COVID-19. They can also make some necessary measures (based on our recommendations) to overcome these challenges.
