This study assessed the link of patient care outcome to occupational differences in response to human resource management. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in three large regional hospitals in China. A total of 700 questionnaires were distributed to doctors, nurses, allied health workers, and managers and 499 (71%) were completed. Data were analyzed using a final sample of 193 doctors and 180 nurses. Quality of patient care was rated by the participants using a modified version of the Victorian Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire. Human resource management was measured on seven aspects: job security, recruitment, training, transformational leadership, information sharing, job quality, and teams. The differences between doctors and nurses in response to the human resource management practices and their associations with quality of care were compared through independent samples t-tests, correlational analyses, and moderator regressions. Doctors gave a higher rating on quality of patient care than their nurse counterparts. ‘Training’, ‘transformational leadership’, and ‘information sharing’ were more likely to be associated with higher ratings on quality of patient care in nurses. By contrast, a greater association between ‘teams’ and quality of patient care was found in doctors. Although doctors and nurses in China are exposed to the same hospital management environment, professional differences may have led them to respond to management practices in different ways.

Human Resource Management Practices

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore the human resource management practices and the associated dimensions of quality of employment in university spin-offs. Through this, it becomes possible to explore and recognize the practices and difficulties placed on the employees of university spin-offs. Design/methodology/approach The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) framework to assess the quality of work in the European Union is adopted. It is used a qualitative approach through the development of four case studies at university spin-offs located in Portugal. These case studies relate to four sectors of activity, such as information technology, urban mobility, health and electronics. Findings The findings reveal that most of the challenges of quality of work in a spin-off university are common to those in an SME or micro company. Among these factors, the authors highlight the lack of job security, reduced or no social protection and very low income and nonwage pecuniary benefits. Other factors specific to university spin-offs also emerge, such as the numerous opportunities for skills development and training, the potentialities to become an entrepreneur and the high number of working hours that are necessary to face the vibrant market dynamics. Originality/value The study aims to contribute, in a theoretical and empirically grounded basis, to the knowledge about the quality of employment in a spin-off university. This work becomes relevant for policymakers to understand in depth the specific challenges faced by employees of a spin-off university.

Green Human Resource Management

Researchers and practitioners have argued that human resource management practices have a positive impact on environmental outcomes. This is because green human resource management practices enhance a firm's environmental performance. Although studies do not explain how green initiatives can enable organisational sustainability, this chapter examines the influence of green human resource management practices on organisational sustainability in the context of Nigeria. The chapter adopted a discourse content analysis as a method of data collection. The chapter holds that organisational sustainability relies on green training intervention as the means of understanding and redressing the human environment with a view to achieving and sustaining a better quality of life. Conclusively, green human resource management practices target protecting the ecosystem, among others. The chapter recommended that sustainability could be achieved through employee green behaviour and eco-innovation at the industrial level.

The application of “green” Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP) to achieve a company’s competitive advantage particularly in the hospitality industry is arguably derives from<br />its Human Resource Management strategy. This has been driven by both customer requirements and increasing intensity of competition. It seems essential these days to invest in quality of Human Resources in order to improve its competitive advantage. However, far from being investigated as the difficulty for the consistency and integrity of the application of ‘green’ HRMP in the workplace.<br />Furthermore, a frame of reference for “Green” HRM has yet to emerge. It is suggested that “green”’ HRMP concepts and frameworks could be utilized to improve the hospitality industry<br />maintaining its green environment. This paper examines critical aspects of ‘green’ HRMP theory and practices to underpinning business service performance. Indeed, the paper suggests a research agenda that could begin to investigate these propositions.

This paper deals with the problem of poor service delivery in municipalities across South Africa – a problem that seems to elude a lasting solution. It assesses the extent to which perceived fairness in human resource management (HRM) practices affect service quality of selected municipalities in South Africa. Falling on organizational justice theory, it is posited that the HRM practices of municipalities could explain the poor service being delivered by municipalities in South Africa. Quantitative data collected from employees of nine randomly selected municipalities in the Free State Province was used to create indices for employee fairness perceptions of HRM practices as well as service quality as perceived by customers. From regression analysis, the results indicate that: employees perceive HRM practices as unfair; service delivery does not meet citizens’ expectations; and, statistically speaking, quality of service delivery is significantly and positively related to perceived fairness in HRM practices namely compensation (distributive); recruitment and Selection (procedural); and promotion (procedural) at the .05 and .01 levels of significance – meaning that fair HRM practices are important for quality service delivery.

Content Type

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to outline the various research methods adopted by researchers in studies that have investigated the relationship between human resource management (HRM) practices and organizational commitment (OC). Design/methodology/approach The authors adopted a comprehensive review that covers empirical research on HRM-OC relationship, which was published between 2001 and 2016 in international peer-reviewed journals. A total of 63 empirical studies were included in this review. Authors adopted content analysis to synthesize the findings on the adopted research methods. Findings This review clearly indicates the excessive reliance of researchers on specific research methods (i.e. surveys, individual-level analysis, and cross-sectional design). However, there is a steady increase in empirical studies that have adopted mixed-method, multi-actor, and multi-level research designs. Originality/value This review has attempted to explore advanced research methods that may offer assistance to overcome methodological limitations of the current HRM-OC literature.
