A total of 1594 employees of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, a Government of India Public Sector Undertaking, providing telecommunication services and practising uniform HR practices across India participated in this study. It was found that WBS is positively related to OC (AC, CC and NC); and relationship is moderated by employees’ cultural values at individual level. The form of moderation reveals a positive significant effect on relationship between WBS and NC for employees high in individualism/collectivism, low in masculinity/femininity and power distance. However, no significant moderating effect has been observed on relationship between WBS and OC (AC, CC and NC) for employee having low or high uncertainty avoidance.

A survey of 1594 employees of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a Government of India Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) providing telecommunication services across India shows that CS is positively related to OC, and relationship is moderated by employees’ cultural values at individual level. The form of moderation reveals a positive significant effect on relationship between CS and normative commitment (NC) for employees high in individualism/collectivism (IC) and positive significant effect on relationship between CS and OC (normative commitment) for employees low in masculinity/femininity (MF) and power distance (PD). However, no significant moderating effect has been observed on relationship between CS and OC (AC, CC, NC) for employee with low or high uncertainty avoidance (UA).

The purpose of this research paper is to derive the factors of internal efficiency and external effectiveness of cyber security and develop impact model to identify the most and least preferred parameters of internal efficiency with respect to all the parameters of external effectiveness.Design/methodology/approachThere are two objectives for this research: Deriving the factors of internal efficiency and external effectiveness of cyber security; Developing a model to identify the impact of internal efficiency factors on the external effectiveness of cyber security since there is not much evidence of research in defining the ...

The analysis of the problem has been carried out using Finite Element Method (FEM). A finite element model of the linear elastic system has been formulated using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to investigate the damping phenomena in riveted connections. The discrete element system having two degrees of freedom per node representing v and i¶v i¶x has been used for the analysis. The solution considers one-dimensional beam elements with each one consisting of two nodes having two degrees of freedom, i.e. transverse displacement and rotation at each node. The generalized stiffness and mass matrices for this element has been derived. Extensive experiments have been conducted for the validation of the analysis. From this study, it is established that the damping capacity increases and the natural frequency decreases due to the joint effects.

Starting from the analysis of the European Investment Plan for green transactions, as well as the EU Directive 2018/410 of the European Parliament and of the Council, in conjunction with ongoing efforts to identify innovative financing tools, research is presented based on hypotheses using concepts and models of green financing. The paper aims to analyze the main concepts and phenomena that could be considered generative factors for current financial market trends, as well as the inventory of facts and acts that provide a picture of the financial market. Based on these investigations, this paper suggest how we can best analyze the economic environment, processes, and resour...

This issue is about knowledge management. In this paper, an attempt is made to discuss the various issues of a learning organization and present an organizational learning model, which has helped to evaluate manufacturing strategies and select advanced manufacturing technology, based on strategic, tactical and monetary factors. The efficacy of the model is illustrated through an application.

Evaluation of alternative sources is an unstructured decision problem involving multiple factors and attributes generic at different levels. In order to facilitate decision support to the materials managers, an all encompassing effective analysis is needed to determine the right supply source so as to be compatible with the organizational objectives. It seems that AHP helps in providing such a decision support.
