The Impact

This research presents readers with adequate information about workplace stress and its impact on the productivity of employees in the service industries, factors in the working environment that cause stressful situations and negative health consequences of workplace stress. It was necessary to undertake this research on workplace stress due to the rapid changes in the service industries which come with some sort of pressure and making the workplace more prone to stress for managers and frontline service personnel. Service personnel need to control their personal emotions so that they will be capable of managing the emotions of their customers and provide them with their service requirements in an organization. The major objective for conducting this research work is to analyze the effectiveness of workplace stress management practices at Kingstel Hotel Limited and how sources of job stress for service personnel such as perceived customer demands, uncooperative attitudes of employees, role ambiguity, role conflict, role overload and how teamwork and other mediators such as job autonomy, training, and motivational programs helps to minimize workplace stress. To enhance better understanding and thorough analysis of stressors, questionnaires were administered to service personnel at Kingstel Hotel to gather primary data for further analysis and investigation. The researcher also interviewed the marketing manager of the hotel to gather further information. Moreover, in other not underrating the significant benefits of secondary data, various articles and publications were reviewed to enrich our knowledge and information base. With the use of an online survey, the questionnaire response was translated into tables and figures for further analysis. With the help of SPSS, correlations analyze was conducted to examine correlations in the variables used and the results of the study indicated that service personnel does not have personal stress management activities and this may result in health- related issues at the workplace more often. The study also identified from the analysis that workplace stress management activities will reduce working hours. Findings suggest the more uncooperative colleagues tend to be in an organization, the heavier workload will be for employees and hence higher probability to suffer from stress.

According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in the two decades preceding 2014 two member countries, Italy and Spain, experienced productivity decline, while just four member countries, Korea, Ireland, Finland, and the United States, managed to achieve rates of productivity growth in excess of one percent per annum. Rates of productivity growth slowed following the global financial crisis in nearly all member countries. These diverse national productivity performances are aggregates of the productivity performances of individual producers, which are influenced by organizational factors such as the quality of management practices and the adoption of new technologies, and also by institutional features such as the stringency of product and labor market and environmental regulations. At the level of the individual producer, productivity has an important impact on financial performance and survival, while at the aggregate level, productivity is a critical determinant of national well-being. The essays collected in the Handbook provide significant contributions to our understanding of the causes and consequences of productivity growth. Part I contains the editors’ introduction. The chapters in Part II address a variety of measurement issues, from both analytical and practical perspectives. The chapters in Part III address a wide range of productivity issues at the level of the individual producer or industry. The chapters in Part IV address a range of aggregate productivity issues, both domestic and international.

Agricultural information plays a vital role in adopting agricultural technology. The study explored if information acquisition is related to the adoption of sustainable land management practices (SLMP) and jointly decided in Mpumalanga Province of South Africa. Primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews, using a proportionate random sampling technique to get 250 smallholder farmers to participate in the survey. A seemingly unrelated bivariate probit (SUBP) model and a recursive bivariate probit (RBP) model were adopted to examine the objective. The statistical estimation of the SUBP showed that there is a relationship, an empirical association between information acquisition and SLMP; while RBP estimation showed that information acquisition was exogenous in the adoption model; thus, the decision to acquire information and adopt SLMP was not jointly decided. Therefore, the study presents the determinants of information acquisition alongside with the adoption of SLPM. The result from the SUBP model, indicated that the years spent in school; agricultural extension service; the number of extension visits and the years of farming, influenced both information acquisition and the adoption of SLMP. The cost attached positively influenced the adoption of SLMP; while gender, marital status and age only influenced the information acquisition.
