This study investigates the variables that may be predictive of hotel employees’ turnover intentions. The influence of trust in organization as a mediator in the proposed relationship is also examined. A total of 380 operational employees from 5-star rated hotels completed the questionnaires. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the relationships hypothesized in the model. Most of the hypotheses were supported. It is suggested that to enhance employees’ trust in organization and subsequently to reduce turnover intentions, hotels need to continue to provide training and development programs to their employees, conduct fair and formal appraisal system, and provide ample and clear career advancement to their employees. Limitations and suggestions for future studies are forwarded.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between pre-departure human resource management practices (HRMPs) and post-assignment behavioral outcomes (PABOs) among Sri Lankan expatriates. Design/methodology/approach – The study focuses on three research questions, namely, first, whether individual HRMPs reinforce desirable PABO consequences, second, whether this relationship would be strengthened when HRMPs are bundled together, and third, whether the purpose of an expatriate’s international assignment would affect the strength of the relationship between HRMPs and PABOs. A questionnaire method was employed to survey Sri Lankan repatriates, and 155 responses were analyzed using a hierarchical regression analysis. Findings – The authors found that two HRMP types, namely, preparation and selection, significantly influenced job commitment, organizational commitment, and retention, both individually and when bundled. Practices such as recruitment, training, performance evaluation, and compensation, bundled with others, improved job and organizational commitment but not retention. Further, the specific task assigned to the expatriate affected the interaction between the HRMPs and their PABOs except retention. Practical implications – As bundled HRMPs influence job and organizational commitment, organizations should attempt to combine several HRMPs. However, there may be a need to customize HRMPs to improving retention and address the development-driven purpose of assignments. Originality/value – This study is amongst the first in the Sri Lankan context to emphasize the necessity of proactively managing expatriates’ PABOs before they relocate, using system and contingency approaches.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint 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 This research paper determines whether employees react in diverse ways to a uniform HRM approach, and whether bespoke approaches tailored to individual employee group identities should therefore be implemented by HR. The results revealed that professionals aligned with their overarching profession more than they do with their employer, that low responsibility employees were engaged with HRM practices, that supervisors were deficient in HRM-led motivation, and that training and development was the most important vehicle of HRM value delivery across all employee groups. Hence it seems a risky strategy to remain static by not tailoring HR to defined employee group values. Originality/value 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 paper is to analyze repatriation as an active actor on his/her return and not just as a passive receiver of organizational human resource management practices. Traditionally, literature has been focused on investigating the impact of organizational practices and support on repatriation, but new studies suggest that this approach is insufficient. According to these studies, individual and contextual influences are also important on repatriation and new studies are needed to measure its impact. Design/methodology/approach – This article is the base of future studies to analyze the impact of both approaches at once. Findings – The paper departs from recent literature in the field, to develop a series of research propositions. Research limitations/implications – The implications of this study include to contribute to the knowledge and future research on the expatriation process, studying the adaptation, performance, etc. of the expatriate during the international mission and particularly the last part of the process, repatriation, which has not received so much attention. Practical implications – This paper highlights that mismanagement of repatriation could lead to turnover of these valuable professionals or to a non-satisfactory reinstatement or even to inefficiency. On the other hand, the perception that repatriation is not well managed and that it does not lead to an advance for the employee could discourage future expatriates to accept international missions, which could even slow down the international progress of the company. Originality/value – The integration of the traditional and the emerging perspectives of repatriation process.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediation effect of employee engagement on the relationship between employer obligations, employee obligations and state of the psychological contract and employee discretionary behaviours. Design/methodology/approach The empirical data were collected using self-administered questionnaires with 278 participants from 11 commissions and three agencies in the public service in Uganda. The authors used hierarchical regression analysis to investigate the hypotheses. Findings The results indicate that employer obligations, employee obligations and state of the psychological contract were positively related to employee discretionary behaviours. In addition, employee engagement was found to be a partial mediator between employee obligations, employer obligations and state of the psychological contract and discretionary behaviours among for both subordinate and supervisory staffs. Originality/value Since little is known about the process by which public service commissions and agencies in Uganda promote employer obligations, employee obligations and state of the psychological contract on discretionary behaviours, this paper contributes to the literature by examining human resource management practices in a developing country context.

The importance of human resource management practices has gained acceptance and wide recognition in a cross-cultural context. Several studies, examining the procedures and practices of human resource management (HRM) and its implementation aspects have emerged, and been applied in different contexts. Achieving better employee performance has been a significant focus for both private and public organisations. Hence there is need to investigate how human resource (HR) practices impact upon organizational performance. This research focuses on three HRM variables, that is, training and development, recruitment and selection and remuneration, and the impact on organizational performance. Using a survey method, data was collected from 257 employees working in commercial banks, Ikorodu. This study analysed the data using descriptive statistics like the mean, median, maximum and standard deviation toanalyse the characteristics of the variables. On the other hand, the hypotheses were tested using regression analysis. We further carry out normality test before performing regression analysis on each of the variables as shown in the following model specification, which tallies with our Research Questions, Research Objectives and Research Hypotheses. The findings revealed that training and development is positively related to organizational performance in commercial banks in Nigeria, the study concludes that, Training and Development will grants the employee’s more insight and control over their jobs. Similarly, in the case of Recruitment and Selection and organizational performance, the study concludes that, employees with good motivational package have more confidence in their capabilities, thus remaining more committed to their organisations. This in-turn boosts organizational performance. Conversely, the study reported a statistical insignificant relationship between Remuneration and organizational performance in commercial banks in Nigeria
