The Impact

The performance within most of the private hospitals in Kilifi County has been deteriorating as more of its staff is leaving the private hospitals in search of the county government jobs. The study took a look at the results of personnel turnover on the organizational performance of chosen private hospitals in Kilifi County. The specific goals that assisted the research study were to evaluate the impact of voluntary turnover, involuntary turnover, functional turnover and dysfunctional turnover on the organizational performance. Theories utilized consisted of equity theory, human capital theory expectancy theory and balance score card model. The study embraced the descriptive research study design. The reliability of the survey was tested utilizing a pilot study. Main data was gathered utilizing close-ended questions. The study utilized a population of 53 top and middle-level managers in 6 private hospitals in Kilifi County. The sample size was accomplished using Stratified sampling. The population studied was subdivided into three strata; personnel supervisors, administrators and assistant administrators and departmental heads. SPSS was utilized to examine the information. The findings of the study developed that the four types of turnover under investigation had either a weak or moderate relationship with organizational efficiency. The study, for that reason, concluded that voluntary and practical turnover favorably relates with the organizational efficiency of the personal medical facility while both uncontrolled turnover and inefficient turnover negatively related with the organizational performance of the personal healthcare facilities in Kilifi County. Based on the conclusion, the study recommended that management should improve employee compensation and offer training to their employees as they contribute to employee voluntary exit. Management should put measures in place to reduce cases of indiscipline and fraud which causes involuntary turnover among the employees. Measures should also be implemented to help improve the health of the staff and reduce stress levels. Concerning functional turnover, the study recommended that private hospitals should have a good system of employment that promotes the retention of good performers and the release of poor performers. Finally, the study recommended that dysfunctional turnover should be avoided as it negatively affects organizational performance. Measures should, therefore, be put in place to discourage the departure of competent and high performing employees.

Purpose As companies seek to continually innovate to remain globally competitive, they also need to be mindful of the impact of the potential associated supply chain risks. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore the causal nexus of relationships linking supply chain risk management (SCRM) and strategic technology partnering (STP) capabilities (i.e. organizational capabilities, technological and innovative capabilities, learning and exploitation capabilities, complementary capabilities and network and partnership capabilities) as identified by Kilubi (2016). Design/methodology/approach The authors investigate STP capabilities that may positively influence SCRM and in turn foster organizational performance. By using conceptual theory building, the authors create a conceptual framework and use it to guide future investigation through research propositions. Social capital theory serves as the theoretical background. Findings Five STP capabilities have been identified as positive mediators for the relationship between SCRM and organizational performance, in particular flexibility and responsiveness. Originality/value This paper focuses on bridging the gap and identifying commonalities between two principal research disciplines, STP and SCRM, examining how these can be used to assist in the controlling and management of future risks. This study contributes to the ongoing development of SCRM and STP by integrating insights from social capital theory, supply chain management and strategic management.

Purpose: Output of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) mostly depends upon efficiency and performance in completing different projects. NGOs in Pakistan operate in diverse fields including health, education, women empowerment etc. The job of the NGOs tends to be stressful due to security issues, psychological strains, organizational structures, and various roles of the employees. This study investigated and explored outcomes of occupational stress in the form of employee engagement at work; furthermore, the research investigated that how emotional intelligence intervenes the impact of occupational stress and employee engagement, as being the mediator. The conservation of resource theory (COR) is applied to explore the relationship of occupational stress and its outcomes in non government organizations of Pakistan. Methodology/Design/Approach: Data was collected from 346 employees (middle level) of NGOs. Stratified sampling technique was used to collect the data. The study makes use of quantitative analytics to test the hypothesis. A positivist approach was adopted for the study as it follows a well-defined structure for the topic under study. Correlation, Regression and sobel’s test for mediation analysis was used in the research to study the relation among the variables. Findings: The study finds the effect of occupational stress on engagement of employees in NGOs and this relationship is mediated by four constructs (relationship management, social management, self-awareness and self-management) of Emotional intelligence. The study concludes that more the level of occupational stress, lower the engagement of employees. This study also finds that relationship between occupational stress and reduced employee engagement is lowered in employees having high level of emotional intelligence. Results also found to be consistent with conservation of resource theory. Limitations/Future Research: The current study is limited to the middle level management; future research can be further extended to all levels in the organization. Employee engagement as a single outcome off occupational stress is analyzed other outcomes may be explored in future researches. Implications: This study contributes to the literature of occupational stress and its outcome in the shape of engagement with an individuality of how emotional intelligence mediates this relationship. The study supports the results of the growing scholarly work on the phenomenon. Practical implications: This research provides insight for organizations, management and for individuals to incorporate emotional intelligence effectively to deal with the stress without being depleted. Additionally, recommendations are provided for the NGOs to enhance the organizational performance through employee engagement and emotional intelligence. Originality/Value: This research explored and analyzed relationship of occupational stress and engagement and emotional intelligence in a different dimension. Further the non-governmental organization remains largely unexplored in this area.

The Impact

In this rapidly changing global environment, the need for communication skills (CS) and emotional intelligence (EI) has become important to today's leaders, in addition to knowing other technical and conceptual skills. Although many universities and management institutions around the world have studied the impact of CS and EI on organizational performance, there are still numerous gaps in the research approach, results and conclusions. Most people are confused due to complex information that lacked impeccability in past studies. This study aims to identify the significance of CS and EI that influence leaders and organizational performance and examine how the contributions, evaluations, opinions and ideas of previous researchers have been related and biased. This is an independent article based on a literature review conducted using the electronics databases such as EBSCO, DOAJ, RESEARCH LIFE, EMBASE and Google Scholar. The variables explored in the present review include effective communication skills, leadership emotional intelligence and organizational performance which are also the guiding framework of the review. The present review shows that CS and EI may be combined rather than separated to develop the potential of a leader to achieve organizational efficiency and success. Both CS and EI are the prerequisites of an effective leader to manage others and build long-term relationships. The review recommends that leaders receive the appropriate training in public speaking, negotiation, emotional management, and organizational efficiency to improve their CS and EI.

PurposeTherefore, this research study investigates the impact of business environment on the performance of the business organizations. (1) To understand the importance the environment in the success of the business entrepreneurship. (2) To explore the environmental factors that can affect the success of business entrepreneurship in Pakistan. (3) To establish relationship between the environmental factors and the sustained organizational performance of business entrepreneurships in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachDrawing from the person–environment fit (PE fit) and the self-determination theory literature, this survey research study seeks to determine the impact of organizational environment upon sustained organizational economic performance. The main independent variable of the study encompasses its main three dimensions, i.e. leadership capacity, organizational culture and organizational politics. The dependent variable comprises the sustained economic performance of the organization. The research study hypothesized and tested a model in which the organizational environment (organizational culture, organizational politics and leadership) interplays with the organizational sustained performance.FindingsKeeping in view the outcomes of this research work the following implications can be drawn. A leader can yield maximum productivity of employees, if he/she has leadership capacity to provide directions, skilled to minimize the stress level of the employees and able to motivate them in achieving organizational goals. Therefore, capacity of leader to handle difficult situations and develop PE fit is the key to organizational success in current scenario. The study also revealed a positive effect of organizational culture on organizational performance. The culture of the organizations provides an environment of openness to think, share and contribute toward goals of the organization. It enables employees to express themselves, develop person-organization common goals with self-determination. The PE fit provides a platform to feel free, express their feelings and opinions, and contribute in the decision-making process of organizations. The involvement in organizational activities provide a sense of responsibility, ownership and motivation to produce better results for the organizations.Originality/valuePE fit perspective postulates that matching individual psychological needs and environmental supplies (provided by organization and society) generates positive attitudes and behaviors (Tepper et al., 2018). The effect between individuals and their environment is inherently reciprocal rather than a one-way effect (Goetz et al., 2021). The fundamental postulation support that the fit certainly improves performance, commitment and satisfaction of individuals in the context of organizations (De Cooman et al., 2019; Rau vola et al., 2020). Moreover, self-determination theory (SDT) is another perspective that emphasizes the attainment of autonomy, competence and relatedness in employees to outperform (Deci and Ryan, (2010). The self-determination theory revolves around the social-contextual conditions that support or obstruct the integral courses of self-motivation and psychological development, which will contribute toward organizational performance (Nazir et al., 2021).

Abstract. Two studies carried out among Albanian public-sector employees examined the impact of different types of affirmative action policies (AAPs) on (counter)stereotypical perceptions of women in decision-making positions. Study 1 (N = 178) revealed that participants – especially women – perceived women in decision-making positions as more masculine (i.e., agentic) than feminine (i.e., communal). Study 2 (N = 239) showed that different types of AA had different effects on the attribution of gender stereotypes to AAP beneficiaries: Women benefiting from a quota policy were perceived as being more communal than agentic, while those benefiting from weak preferential treatment were perceived as being more agentic than communal. Furthermore, we examined how the belief that AAPs threaten men’s access to decision-making positions influenced the attribution of these traits to AAP beneficiaries. The results showed that men who reported high levels of perceived threat, as compared to men who reported low levels of perceived threat, attributed more communal than agentic traits to the beneficiaries of quotas. These findings suggest that AAPs may have created a backlash against its beneficiaries by emphasizing gender-stereotypical or counterstereotypical traits. Thus, the framing of AAPs, for instance, as a matter of enhancing organizational performance, in the process of policy making and implementation, may be a crucial tool to countering potential backlash.
