Strategic Human Resources Information System and Workers’ Adaptive Performance of Deposit Money Banks in South-South Nigeria

The purpose of this paper was to ascertain the nature of the relationship between strategic human resources information system and workers’ adaptive performance in deposit money banks in South-South Nigeria. The research design adopted for the study was the correlational design. The population was comprised of 120 management staff from 5 tier-1 deposit money banks in the South-South region of Nigeria. Data were generated using the questionnaire. The Spearman’s rank order correlation was adopted in assessing the correlation between strategic human resources information system and measures of workers’ adaptive performance – adaptive learning, creativity and worker flexibility. Findings show that strategic human resources information system contributes significantly towards adaptive learning, creativity and worker flexibility. It was therefore concluded that organizational actions and decisions that anchor on and utilize strategic human resources information system drives and enhances outcomes of adaptive learning, creativity and worker flexibility, thus leading to workers’ adaptive performance within deposit money banks in the South-South region of Nigeria.

NO-WAIT OPEN SHOP WITH WORKER FLEXIBILITY

The Open Shop Problem is a Production Scheduling problem where jobs do not have predestined processing routes, which increases the solution space and, therefore, the complexity of the problem. This work proposes a novel mathematical model that addresses the Open Shop theme with worker flexibility and no-wait. We consider the resource constraint of flexible and multiskilled labor. That is, the workers can execute their activities in more than one workstation. Simultaneously, the latter the continued production is contemplated, which hinders the reachability of feasible solutions and therefore increases the problem complexity. To validate the model, we generate several benchmarks, and the results obtained highlight the importance of worker flexibility in achieving greater problem feasibility.
