Purpose Previous studies that have attempted to link TQM and employees’ satisfaction are either theoretical without empirical evidence or had limited outcome in scope as they link only few elements of TQM with employees’ job satisfaction and commitment. This study is warranted due to the paucity of insights into the impact of soft strategies on determining job satisfaction and commitment. Despite the considerable body of TQM literature that has evolved to examine the relationship between TQM and employees’ job satisfaction in various countries as well as industries there is no existing literature that recognizes the soft aspects of TQM within the context of the Indian manufacturing industry. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of the proposed hypotheses a conceptual model was proposed and tested. A questionnaire survey was employed for data collection. The participants were 450 shop floor employees of three Indian manufacturing organizations. Findings The results have shown that six out of the nine soft aspects of TQM played a role in determining job satisfaction and commitment. The results have also shown that the predictors of both job satisfaction and commitment were the same except for the strength of prediction. The proposed model showed an acceptable fit. Originality/value This is the first study to examine the impact of soft aspects of TQM in determining job satisfaction and commitment in the Indian manufacturing organizations.

The implementation of sustainable manufacturing practices has brought many benefits not only to the manufacturing industry itself but also to the environment. Among the benefits are increasing productivity, bringing a good image, and producing environmentally friendly products. However, there are still many manufacturing organizations that still do not implement sustainable manufacturing practices due to factors such as high cost and organizational culture that does not accept such practices. Thus, this study aims to identify the relationship between sustainable manufacturing practices (SMP) and the sustainable performance of manufacturing organizations. Data were collected based on quantitative methods using a questionnaire survey. This study employed a simple random sampling method and SPSS was used to analyze the descriptive and correlation data for a sample of 51 manufacturing companies in Johor. Clean production practices and employee relations show a significant relationship with sustainable performance. Eco-efficiency practices show no relationship to economic sustainability, yet there is a significant relationship to environmental sustainability and social sustainability. The benefit of this study is that manufacturing organizations can see some SMPs acting as drivers to improve the sustainable performance of the organization because of the long-term benefits it offers.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of rewards systems and training and development on employee retention, mediated by the effects of job satisfaction, in Yemeni commercial banks. The study used cross-sectional data collection methods. Data was collected from the headquarters of 15 commercial banks. A set of questionnaires using a 5-point Likert scale was distributed to employees; the data was analyzed using the Structured Equation Model (SEM) by IBM SPSS AMOS 25.0. The results indicated that both the rewards system and training and development significantly affect job satisfaction, while job satisfaction has a significant positive effect on employee retention. Training and development themselves have no statistically significant effect on employee retention. The results showed that job satisfaction plays a mediating role because the indirect effect is significant. The mediation is complete because the direct impact is not significant. The result indicates that job satisfaction is an important variable that links the reward system and training and development to employee retention in Yemeni banks. This study is expected to make significant theoretical, practical, and methodological contributions to this field of research due to the development of a model of the effects of the reward system and training and development on employee retention through job satisfaction.
