This article has aimed to better understand employee engagement in a post-COVID-19 workplace ecosystem. We identified a knowledge gap in the relationship between employee engagement and the physical workplace environment through an interdisciplinary literature review. We subsequently tested this gap by comparing employee engagement metrics proposed by leading academics in the field of organisational psychology with a sample of commonly used real estate industry approaches to monitoring workplace design/management. We focused specifically on industry-projected post-COVID-19 workplace ecosystem scenarios, and the results suggest that traditional employee engagement metrics and industry approaches to monitoring workplace design and management do not fully reflect the recent shift to hybrid work patterns. We shed light on the implications that this can have on our existing knowledge of “sustainable” property markets in a wider city context.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether real estate companies manipulate their earnings through the brokerage fee across ownership expropriation or not. Design/methodology/approach This study considers Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange listed real estate firms to investigate how the brokerage fee in the real estate industry might affect the earnings management of firms across its ownership expropriation. Using annual report data, the authors investigate the associations over a panel for the period 2008−2012. Robust panel regression is used to divulge the probability values with reference by probit regression. Findings Overall, the results show that high brokerage fees would drive more events of earnings management and that, generally, the ownership concentration among Malaysian real estate firms significantly affects the earnings management of the firms. Practical implications This study shows that firm profitability and brokerage fees enhance the probability of firm’s earnings management. A low brokerage fee would reflect low revenue to the company. Therefore, management would opt to manipulate earnings in order to overstate earnings, which garners more interest from investors. Originality/value Real estate values in Malaysia have climbed steadily over the years due to a combination of reasons giving companies a higher brokerage fee. Earnings management has become a big issue for property investors. The study demonstrates the relationship between earnings management and brokerage fee across ownership expropriation which can be considered by shareholders in their own strategic planning and investors in their own investing.

This is reflected in the research about it: the analytical focus has shifted from local property markets and local real estate industry to international property markets and global real estate industry.

Over Time

Corporate governance (CG) emerged many centuries ago, despite the debate on this subject and the widely-held view that it commenced in the 2000s. Thus, CG is not a new practice and over time it has become a precise system. In this study, the origins of CG are examined by the author in order to shed light on the underlying facts concerning the roots of this discipline and its history. By introducing such facts, it provides the background of the emergence of CG as clear principles and mechanisms. In the organizational sense, this study is considered important for both investors and organizations in applying the principles of CG and its mechanisms in all countries worldwide. The objective of this paper is to provide useful information to both researchers and practitioners in relation to CG including the fundamental principles and its history. This paper will present a solution to fill the gap in the literature concerning the relationship between CG and a firm’s performance in such instances when the results of examining such a relationship are found to be inconsistent. A number of factors have contributed to this author’s desire to research the relationship between a firm’s performance and CG and that includes the author’s experience and understanding of accounting over the years especially in the CG discipline, and also further to an in-depth literature review.

Abstract While being largely confined to different realms, planning and real estate also have a symbiotic relation. The logic of this relation varies in time and space, which makes the analysis of the balance between the two fields challenging. When we define these actions as institutions, potentially powerful analytic tools become available. This critical literature review examines some of the most relevant of them, in various specific institutional arenas, including the impact of planning on property markets and prices. The aim is to examine the role of institutions at the interface of urban planning and real estate. In other words, to see what kind of institutional effects are identifiable, whenever planning and property interests overlap. The conclusions suggest that a change in the urban fabric is likely to impact the possibility to use a site, and thereby also the value of land and built property.

Property Markets

Intermediaries and standards in the real estate industry. The aim of the paper at hand is to examine the significance of the integration of financial and real estate markets for urban property markets. It is argued that the integration of both markets has increased the volatility of urban property markets and in particular of the office market of financial cities as London and Frankfurt am Main. International property consultants play a key role in it as knowledge brokers. Through their global office networks they produce and offer information about the outlook of investment possibilities, i.e. urban property markets. In that sense they channel capital which contributes to increased volatility of capital flows into and out of the built environment. Thus, the liberalisation and globalisation of the financial markets as well as modern investment products transformed the urban real estate markets to a great extent.

The Relationship

The chapter considers a similarity between Maslow's and Corporate Social Responsibilities pyramids. Various groups of stakeholders may have opposite interests in relationship with related companies, generating moral dilemmas. An analysis of organizational and economic accounting patterns in commercial real estate is provided with examples of companies listed to Stock Exchange. These common patterns are in accordance with all professional standards, but still do not offer sufficient information for an informed investment decision of an average investor. The choice of accounting policy is one of the reasons why real estate industry is perceived as a high risk, as a high degree of subjectivity applies through the choices of accounting treatment. Conflicts between stakeholders should be avoided due to the direct impact on a company's development perspectives and value.

There is a dearth of research examining relationship among HR practices, employee engagement and job satisfaction in public sector undertakings in India. The present study makes an attempt to shed light on this largely neglected area of research by examining the mediating function of employee engagement between HR practices and job satisfaction. Data were collected from 393 executives through a questionnaire survey. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the relationship between HR practices, employee engagement and job satisfaction. HR practices were found to be positively linked with job satisfaction. Further, employee engagement significantly mediated the relationship between HR practices and job satisfaction. The practical implications of the study are discussed in the light of the existing literature.
