Abstract:

If a country's bureaucrats face difficulties during their activities, people will not get better public services. Unfortunately, civil servants of Bangladesh face barriers at their different service delivery levels. The study focuses on the challenges of civil servants in Bangladesh that they frequently face during their activities due to the various 'push and pull' factors. Also, it explores how those challenges are affecting the efficient service delivery system. The quantitative method was adopted, and data was collected via existing survey reports, official statistical records, and published sources. The study's result revealed that civil servants are fighting with immense challenges, and they are also manipulating the service delivery system. Using the 'push and pull' factors, the tendency of affecting the delivery system divided into the three streams, and Bangladesh civil service level of standing also identified. Therefore, the study recommends that all stockholders of government at all levels should care about the challenges of civil servants for ensuring more committed, good, and efficient public services.

Abstract:

Public administration has to compete with private sectors in terms of quality service delivery to citizens. In this context, civil service training, especially overseas training, has been considered the most significant requirement to increase the performance of the Bangladesh Civil Service. This article tries to explore the impact of overseas training on the performance of the Bangladesh Civil Service. To achieve this objective, this study interviewed Bangladesh Civil Servants who participated Asian Institute Training (AIT) Extension training programme from 2016 to 2018. A mixed-method was applied to analyse the collected data. It found that Bangladesh Civil Servants, who have received AIT Extension training, were satisfied with the training management of AIT. Participants believed that such overseas training positively contributes to enhancing the performance of the Bangladesh Civil Service. However, this study also disclosed that fewer overseas training opportunities for young civil servants, lack of need-based training, and poor management of overseas training policy are the main obstacles in Bangladesh Civil service management. This article strongly recommends that there must be a detailed overseas training policy management and more collaboration with international training institutes to get better performance from the government officers in Bangladesh.

Abstract:

The civil service as supporting mechanism for government in every country plays a vital role in governance. Bangladesh is not excluded in this case. Comparable partaking of equally males and females in the decision making procedure is indispensable for the progress of a state. Over the previous decades in Bangladesh, women’s status of employment has amplified. However, women are still staying behind in contrast to men. Women’s lively involvement in executive task is not simply vital for confirming parity and fairness for themselves as populaces of the state, but also it helps in turn into more approachable and proficient of addressing the necessities of women along with men. As Bangladesh accompanied by other developing countries are devoted to lessening of the gender discrimination as a share of their communal advancement programs; the situation of discrimination of women in the civil service of the state appeals for exploration of their definite position, discover the fundamental causes. This paper pinpoints and investigates issues that represent the positive progression of women to senior points in the civil service. The paper discusses that though the general picture of women in the civil service has amplified. But the existence of women in the higher positions is still now low, which is revealing of the presence of stumbling blocks to the progression of women. Keywords: women, representation, civil service, Bangladesh. Abstrak Perkhidmatan awam sebagai mekasnime sokongan kerajaan di setiap negara memainkan peranan yang penting dalam pengurusan pentadbiran. Bangladesh tidak dikecualikan dalam kes ini. Pengambilan yang sama antara lelaki dan perempuan dalam prosedur membuat keputusan adalah sangat diperlukan untuk kemajuan negara. Sepanjang dekad yang lalu di Bangladesh, status wanita dalam pekerjaan telah diperkukuhkan. Walaubagaimanapun, status wanita tetap berada agak jauh ketinggalan jika dibandingkan dengan para lelaki. Penglibatan aktif para wanita dalam bidang eksekutif bukan sahaja penting untuk menjelaskan persamaan dan keadilan mereka sebagai penduduk di negara tersebut tetapi membantu menangani isu keperluan wanita bersama lelaki dengan lebih berkesan. Sebagaimana Bangladesh dan juga beberapa negara lain telah dikhaskan untuk mengurangkan diskriminasi gender sebagai sebahagain daripada program kemajuan masyarakat, situasi diskriminasi wanita dalam sektor perkhidmatan awam memerlukan satu tinjaun terhadap kedudukan mereka bagi mengetahui sebab-sebab utamanya. Kajian ini mengenalpasti dan menyiasat isu-isu yang membawa kepada perkembangan positif wanita dalam perkhidmatan awam. Kajian ini menjelaskan bahawa walaupun gambaran umum wanita dalam perkhidmatan awam telah diperkuatkan, namun peluang wanita menyandang jawatan-jawatan yang tinggi masih terhad dan berkurangan. Ini menunjukkan terdapat halangan-halangan yang mengganggu proses kemajuan dan perkembangan para wanita. Kata Kunci: Para wanita, perwakilan, perkhidmatan awam, Bangladesh.

Abstract:

This study attempts to identify the core reasons for gender bias in the Bangladesh Civil Service. The purpose is to learn about the current state of such bias and whether and to what extent women civil servants are impacted by it, as well as its consequences in terms of career growth. For this study, the researcher employed qualitative methodologies, relying mainly on primary data acquired through a questionnaire survey of 111 civil servants. Results demonstrate that in the civil service, women are subjected to a greater degree of gender bias than males, followed by the third gender. It also shows that social attitudes and lack of child care facilities are two of the key reasons for such bias and gender stereotyping, underrepresentation of women, the existing gender gap, insufficient paid maternity leaves, biased rules, and a lack of awareness might be regarded as minor sources of gender bias in this sector. Gender bias has a significant impact on postings, leadership positions, major project assignments, and challenging roles, as well as a moderate impact on other variables such as promotion, recognition for equal work, performance review, obtaining mentors and training opportunities, compensation and awards, recommendations, and recruiting, according to the data.

Abstract:

Administrative Tribunal in Bangladesh is a specialized adjudicating body established in order to ensure prompt, effective, inexpensive, flexible, and expert adjudication as well as expeditious disposal of service disputes of civil servants by ousting the jurisdiction of ordinary courts on such matter. However, this paper tries to explore that the adjudicating mechanism of such Tribunals are affected by intricate legislation, non-compliance to the Constitutional mandate, deviation from equality principles, unavailability of a dynamic procedure as to the recruitment of personnel of expertise, non-existence of any established system of appointing panel advocate, a variety of the jurisdictional lacking and faults as well as functional and procedural defects. To explore challenges related to the Administrative Tribunals in Bangladesh, this paper attempts to examine whether the legal provisions of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1980 and Rules framed thereunder are adequate for the proper and expeditious disposal of the service litigants' grievances through the critical analysis of these provisions compared to, especially, that of India and Pakistan as well as the empirical scrutiny of the practical scenario of such Tribunals in Bangladesh. This paper, in fine, concludes with the necessity for serious modifications of those legal provisions and tackling those challenges, and therefore puts forward the ways out.

Abstract:

The existing literature on institutional trust leads us to expect that institutional trust is determined by institutional performance. In the context of three South Asian countries (Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka), we find the opposite – that despite poor performance of the civil service, there is high institutional trust. In this study we examine whether such mismatch can be explained by an authoritarian cultural orientation, which generates unquestioning obedience and loyalty and may contribute to inflated institutional trust in the civil service of these countries.

Abstract:

[1] & Rabiul Alam Lokman[2] ABSTRACT A quantitative survey-based study was conducted to evaluate the job satisfaction level of newly recruited civil servants of Bangladesh whose service time is 1.5 to 5 years. A total of 225 civil servants from ten different cadres responded to the survey on fourteen different aspects of the job. An additional response was also taken to evaluate overall job satisfaction. The result of the study reveals that the newly recruited civil servants of Bangladesh are dissatisfied with eight different aspects of the job (salary, promotion policy, posting place, transfer policy, training facilities, foreign tour facilities, recognition for good work and participation in decision making). On the other hand, respondents are satisfied with the other six different aspects of the job (job security, job status, working environment, relation with boss, relation with colleagues and autonomy in work). But considering everything in account overall they are satisfied with their job. Cronbach's Alpha test for data reliability shows that the data are reliable having Cronbach's Alpha value of .830 whereas the normal Q-Q Plot of variables reveals that all the independent variables of job satisfaction are normally distributed. For Pearson Correlation, there exists a significant and positive correlation between job satisfaction and all the independent variables. The current study suggests that further studies are to be carried out to investigate the causes of job dissatisfaction in different aspects and to identify which aspects of the job contribute most to the job satisfaction of civil servants.

Abstract:

Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) is like the nucleus of country’s overall development. Brilliant graduates wish to join BCS and contribute to the prosperity of the nation. However, it is not that easy to join BCS for all meritorious graduates. Due to quota or preserved post in greater part of BCS, they are denied from the service of the nation. However, Bangladesh needs an effective public administration to turn up her long-term vision to be a middle-income country by 2021. Nonetheless, for an effective and dynamic public administration, recruitment of talented, hard working and committed personnel are essential. In this perspective, the study intends to evaluate the present recruitment system of BCS, analyzes its problems, and tries to find out the possible solution. In addition, it tries to know the idea and observation of present and future civil servants regarding present recruitment system and overall BCS. It collects primary data from the respondents before analyzing and providing some policy recommendations. It also compares and contrasts, why BCS needs merit not quota. Finally, the study proposes a model for Merit-based Recruitment in BCS with some assumptions.

Abstract:

This study examined English teaching and learning (Grade 8 level) in Qawmi Madrasa schools, which are not recognized by the Bangladeshi government’s Education Department. The study investigated the improvements needed in Qawmi Madrasas English teaching programs to enable students to secure public university admission and Bangladeshi civil service positions. We conducted ethno-methodological surveys in 2018 with the students, teachers, and principals of eight Qawmi Madrasas in the south-central and southeastern areas of Bangladesh. The study found that the environment in Qawmi Madrasas in the south-central region was not conducive to English learning, in contrast to the situation in the southeastern region. In addition, teacher salaries and other resources were inadequate in the south-central region in comparison to the southeastern region. In the south-central region, the student interviewees commented that classroom resources, that is, English textbooks, should be more effectively implemented. The findings of this research also indicate an urgent need for teacher training in English-language learning in the south-central region to develop teachers’ skills in teaching methodologies and strategies.

The purpose of this study is to know the humanistic value that is given to indigenous languages in Bangladesh. This study is based on selected case studies, data from in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and systematic reviews of relevant literature. The study indicates that in a way the primary, secondary level education is designed focused on fully Bengali and part of it in the English Language. Children soon lose interest in the classroom and drop out when they cannot communicate. The teachers are also from the Bengali community, and fewer than 8% complete primary education while 2% complete secondary education. Besides the dropout, late enrolment, repetition, poor academic grade, for these maximum indigenous students cannot pass the minimum marks for enrolment for higher education and civil service jobs. Besides, many indigenous languages are disappearing but no plan to protect them.

Abstract:

In Bangladesh, two contrasting scenarios regarding the responsiveness of the bureaucrats working at the field level are present. Whereas some bureaucrats reach out to the people and respond to their demands, others remain unresponsive and unapproachable. So, why do the bureaucrats working at the grassroots, while performing under the same rules, same institutional context and reality, perform in two different ways while interacting with citizens? How can these two contradictory sets of understanding regarding bureaucratic responsiveness coexist in Bangladesh? This article attempts to unpack this puzzle by relying on a slightly modified version of historical institutionalism. Building on Bell’s model of ‘agent-centric institutional change’ and by using a modified version of Mahoney & Thelen’s framework of institutional change, it argues that dialectical interaction between agents (bureaucrats) and institutions (i.e., rules- both formal and informal, norms that affect the behavior of the agents) within the broader political setting can best explain the variation in behavioral pattern of the bureaucrats. The political context allows agents to exercise discretion in a specific manner in executing their roles and functions while being constrained by institutional rules and norms. The dialectical interaction between structure (political context), agent, and institution determines the current administrative reality, which has allowed the contradiction to emerge and sustain.

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo explore healthcare providers’ perspective on non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention and management services provided through the NCD corners in Bangladesh and to examine challenges and opportunities for strengthening NCD services delivery at the primary healthcare level.DesignWe used a grounded theory approach involving in-depth qualitative interviews with healthcare providers. We also used a health facility observation checklist to assess the NCD corners’ service readiness. Furthermore, a stakeholder meeting with participants from the government, non-government organisations (NGOs), private sector, universities and news media was conducted.SettingTwelve subdistrict health facilities, locally known as upazila health complex (UHC), across four administrative divisions.ParticipantsParticipants for the in-depth qualitative interviews were health service providers, namely upazila health and family planning officers (n=4), resident medical officers (n=6), medical doctors (n=4) and civil surgeons (n=1). Participants for the stakeholder meeting were health policy makers, health programme managers, researchers, academicians, NGO workers, private health practitioners and news media reporters.ResultsParticipants reported that diabetes, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were the major NCD-related problems. All participants acknowledged the governments’ initiative to establish the NCD corners to support NCD service delivery. Participants thought the NCD corners have contributed substantially to increase NCD awareness, deliver NCD care and provide referral services. However, participants identified challenges including lack of specific guidelines and standard operating procedures; lack of trained human resources; inadequate laboratory facilities, logistics and medications; and poor recording and reporting systems.ConclusionThe initiative taken by the Government of Bangladesh to set up the NCD corners at the primary healthcare level is appreciative. However, the NCD corners are still at nascent stage to provide prevention and management services for common NCDs. These findings need to be taken into consideration while expanding the NCD corners in other UHCs throughout the country.

Abstract:

Against the backdrop of continuing rights violations in Bangladesh, this article analyses issue-salience and framing in the policy discourse of civil society organizations (CSOs) and state elites on the implementation of the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Data from the reports submitted to the second-cycle United Nations’ Universal Periodic Review (UPR), the official monitoring mechanism associated with UN rights treaties, show how state discourse is framed in instrumental, administrative terms. In contrast, civil society discourse is critically framed and highlights poor implementation and enforcement of the CRC, poverty and corruption. This helps to explain on-going rights violations in an increasingly hostile political context wherein government is unresponsive to civil society claims, mobilization is suppressed and CSOs are forced to focus on service delivery and advocacy functions.

Abstract:

The bus transport system in Dhaka is unsafe, unreliable, inefficient and struggles to cope with the day-to-day mobility of its massive population. Consequently, measuring the performance of bus service quality (SQ) from the customers’ perspective is fundamental in planning a sustainable bus transport system for Dhaka, and in developing the associated policies and regulations. Although there are some studies addressing the performance of the public transport systems in Bangladesh, little research considers how service quality attributes affect passengers’ satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to examine a relationship between bus service quality and its influencing factors in Dhaka. Using a customer satisfaction survey with a sample size of 955, discrete choice models (e.g., multinomial logit and mixed logit) have been developed. The results indicate that the inhabitants, as expected, are dissatisfied with their bus services (less than 10% rated service quality as “excellent/good”) and service attributes such as comfort level and driver skills were found to be the most important contributors toward the “poor” and “very poor” perceptions of service quality. Other influencing factors are punctuality, safety, entry and exit processes, waiting times, and vehicle condition. One surprising finding was that the multinomial logit model provides better goodness-of-fit for the sample data relative to the mixed logit model implying that bus users in Dhaka may represent a homogeneous group as they do have access to other modes. Findings from this study can be utilized to develop policies and regulations to improve bus transport in Dhaka.

Abstract:

AbstractUsing recently-collected ethnographic life history data, this paper analyses in historical context the shifting boundary between governmental and non-governmental ‘worlds’ in Bangladesh. First, the paper explores the ways in which this boundary is an ambiguous one, and aims to show how it is constructed and maintained, through an analysis of new types of ‘boundary-crossing’ professionals who cross between the two sectors in the course of their career trajectories and their social relationships. Second, it suggests that such movements across this boundary throws light on changing professional identities in Bangladesh, such as what it means to work as a public servant or a development worker. High-achieving university graduates are now less likely to choose civil service careers than they once were, because new opportunities exist for them to work more flexibly as ‘non-governmental professionals’ in roles that may allow them to combine professional, consultant and activist identities.

Abstract:

The utilization of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) in the management of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection could lead to diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the incidence and risks for diabetes mellitus and hypertension amongst HIV-infected patients on cART at ART Clinic of Civil Service Hospital, Ilorin, Nigeria. Crosssectional research was conducted among 262 consented HIV-infected patients on cART from April to July 2018. Random blood sugar and blood pressure of the patients were measured with glucometer and sphygmomanometer, respectively. The subjects were administered with standardized sociodemographics, treatment, and clinical variable forms. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used, and ethical approval was obtained. The patients had a mean age of 44.32±11.60 years and had received cART for a median duration of 6.01± 2.16 years. There was a high incidence (18.3%) of hypertension and diabetes mellitus diseases among the patients on cART. The majority of 32 (66.67%) of the patients were on Efavirenz + Lamivudine + Tenofovir combination therapy. The risk factors for the comorbidity were gender (OR 1.113; 95% CI 0.014-0.938, p < 0.043), duration on HIV infection (OR 1.084; 95% CI 0.860-1.366, p < 0.049), duration on cART (OR 1.928; 95% CI 0.861-1.679, p < 0.048) and types of cART (OR 1.042; 95% CI 1.000-1.085, p < 0.047). The high incidence of the comorbid conditions in HIV-infected patients on cART affirms the necessity to integrate screening for these two concomitant diseases in the HIV program as part of a healthcare support strategy.

Abstract:

Relationships are multidimensional, and we know little about the facets of relationships in the way elderly patients’ with multimorbidity utilise homecare and health services. Gerontology literatures emphasize the importance of place of care, inequalities, availability of health services and affordability. However, the diversity of relationships and associated dependency in elderly care remain underassessed. A qualitative study involving a demographic survey and interviews was conducted to explore relationship experiences of elderly women with multimorbidity in homecare and health services utilization. Civil Surgeon of Sylhet District in Bangladesh was contacted to recruit participants for the study, and this resulted in 33 interviews [11 staff and 22 elderly women with multimorbidity]. Three domains of Axel Honneth’s Theory of Recognition and Misrecognition [i.e. intimate, community and legal relationships] were used to underpin the study findings. Data was analysed using critical thematic discourse method. Four themes were emerged: nature of caregiving involved; intimate affairs [marital marginalization, and parent-children-in law dynamics]; alienation in peer-relationships and neighbourhood [siblings’ overlook, neighbourhood challenges, and gender inequality in interactions]; and legal connections [ignorance of rights, and missed communication]. A marginalization in family relationships, together with poor peer supports and a misrecognition from service providers, resulted in a lack of care for elderly women with multimorbidity. Understanding the complexities of elderly women’s relationships may assist in policy making with better attention to their health and well-being support needs. Staff training on building relationships, and counselling services for family and relatives are essential to improve the quality of care for the women.

Abstract:

Planning a career can be defined as a sequence of processes that build up a career. Choosing the right career is essential for business graduates, especially in this competitive age. This study aims to identify the career preferences of business background students of Public Universities in Bangladesh and the factors that influence their career choice, which will help the business policy maker. Both the structured and the semi-structured questions containing pre-coded and open-ended questions were used to development of the questionnaire. Likert scale and multiple-choice were also used in the questionnaire. For this study, we have 97 respondents as our sample size. We have done frequency analysis, ratio analysis, percentages, and means to reach our objective. The result shows that most business students prefer Government/Public sector jobs, especially Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS). Teaching is the second choicest profession for graduates. The key factors influencing career choice are authority and power, social recognition, job security, mental satisfaction, and payment. The most common constraints graduates face when choosing a career are a lack of practical education, subject-specialized jobs, practical education systems, unfair hiring process, and experience needed at an entry-level position. However, the findings of our study will help both students and policy maker about career-related issues. Furthermore, the in-depth extracted policies are recommended to bring more insight into the matter.

Abstract:

A survey was carried out during the period from July to December 2002 to see comparison between public and private pay structures in Bangladesh. To evaluate the public pay structure 120 respondents of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) were interviewed through semi-structured questionnaire. The respondents were categorized in 8 different categories. Information of their monthly salary, income tax etc. were checked against their pay-bills and income tax information as supplier by the employer. The secondary data on also collected personally by researcher himselves Pay-structure of different organizations, National pay scales and Price indices. It was found that almost all employees including teachers and officers are facing constraints to maintain their families with income from their job. About 65.5% of their expenditure is getting from their salaries. More than 36% of the employees (including teachers and officers) failed to manage their family expenditure with income from job and extra job. National Pay scale 1997 reduced sufficiently the disparity between the highest and the lowest salary to 10:1 whereas in 1991 the ratio was 11.11:1. In private sectors like Pubali Bank Limited (PBL), Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBL) and Uttara Bank Limited (UBL) the disparity between the highest and the lowest salary were found 21.1:1, 25.29:1 and 26:1 respectively. But disparity in NPS does not ensure the equity, fairness and justice to the civil servants or employees because salaries were not sufficient to cover the cost of as well as livelihood. The maximum salary one can draw is TK.23800 when a person is in the highest grade according to NPS 1997. On the other hand, in private organizations one can draw the highest amount of TK. 90500 which is more than 3.80 times of the highest amount drawn as per NPS 1997. House rent of private sectors varies from 65.4% to 104% (including house maintenance) where as in public sectors it varies from 40% to 55% of basic salary. Consequently, the living conditions of the service holders of lower income groups have been drastically reducing. The minimum salary ratio is to be suggested between the highest and the lowest position should be 5:1. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jsf.v8i1-2.14631 J. Sci.

Abstract:

Most Bangladeshi schools, colleges and universities rehearse the old conventional and manual accommodation management procedures. Accommodation management in a manual way is a tedious paperwork process since it involves unnecessary time consumption and lots of unwanted errors. This manual procedure lingers the seat management process (allocation-deallocation, room shifting (reallocation), etc.) and slows down the overall work speed for both the hall managerial bodies and students. We have explored the feasibility studies and requirement analysis considering all the manual accommodation management processes. We have proposed and designed a web-based Abdus Salam Hall Accommodation Management System (ASHAMS) according to the outcome obtained. Tools used to implement the system are Microsoft Visual studio and ASP.net framework as the front-end and SQL Server as the back-end server database. We proposed ASHAMS as a pilot project, and further implementation depends on the success of this project. We collected data from Bhasha Shahid Abdus Salam Hall, Noakhali Science and Technology University (NSTU), Bangladesh, for the entire development purpose of ASHAMS. Using ASHAMS, Hall (dormitory/hostel) authority can easily manage the hall details, room details, seat management process and reduce human errors. Hopefully, ASHAMS will overcome the shortcomings of conventional accommodation management procedures; improve the service quality, productivity, personnel efficiency, reliability, and transparency in the organization.

Abstract:

This study on the life status of IAPES members based on identified conditions and their demographic characteristics during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted to provide an updated profile of the members of the International Association of Physical Education and Sports. The objectives of the study is to collect data and information based on the following: (i) demographic characteristics of selected IAPES members as to their country of origin, age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, length of service as PE teacher, length of service in their current institution, and the type of institution they are employed; (ii) the current life status of selected IAPES members in terms of psychological, physical, financial, work/professional, and sociocultural conditions; (iii) presence of significant relationships on the current life status when grouped according to their demographic characteristics; (iv) how the selected IAPES’ members describe their greatest attributes that have helped them cope with the COVID-19 pandemic; and, (v) what other matters have been bothering the selected IAPES’ members in relation to the prevalence of the pandemic. The study used mixed methods of research, the quantitative (descriptive-correlational) and qualitative (descriptive-exploratory) methods. Moreover, the study utilized purposive-convenient sampling techniques in the selection of 246 IAPES’ members from the Philippines, India, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Iran, Thailand, and United States. Results show that respondents’ life status based on the cited conditions have significant relationships when grouped according to the respondents’ country of origin, sex (except for the physical condition), and educational attainment, while there are no significant relationships based on their age, civil status (except for physical and work/professional conditions), length of service as PE teacher, length of service in the current institution, and type of institution. Moreover, there were 5 greatest attributes in coping with the COVID-19 pandemic identified by the respondents, resilience, attitude of maintaining good physical condition, seeking for families’ and friends’ support in times of crisis, volunteerism, and faith in God. Other matters bothering the respondents related to COVID-19 pandemic are financial stability, family’s safety, learning more about mental health, their students’ learning conditions, and the lack of initiatives from the authorities in battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

Management development programs of Bangladesh Civil Service are traditionally seen as a piecemeal approach; no linkage is found among program performance, transfer performance and career advancement of trained officials. Moreover, no effective mechanism is found in public organization to assess or monitor the issue of post-program transfer of training. The study employed an in-depth investigation into factors affecting post-program transfer of training. It made a detailed investigation into ultimate effectiveness of management development programs by examining contribution of three sets of influencing factors under individual characteristics, work environment (social and logistic support), and learning organizational practices on post-program transfer of training. The study was conducted on two management development courses like Advanced Course on Administration and Development (ACAD) and Senior Staff Course (SSC) by administering survey on purposively selected 212 graduated participants of both the courses. The findings of the study suggest that the predictors like post-program motivation and self-efficacy to transfer, peer support, learning organizational practices like collaboration and team learning and strategic link of transfer performance with career advancement have direct and positive influence on post-program transfer of training. The findings of the study would guide the policy planner to formulate prudent HRD policy and strategy linking training performance (performance of learning acquisition as well as post program transfer) and career advancement (placement and promotion).

Abstract:

Decisions and actions in an ill-structured situation often include high-time constraints, lack of information, and poor cognitive efforts. Obtaining the necessary information through an information systems tool is supposed to be the best solution in such situations. To expose the decision situation, this study has taken the fire and civil defense service as the field of study. In exploring the required information resources, elements of the system architecture, and suitability of the proposed system in the current field, this study has resorted to the qualitative approach. To assess the dependability and performance of the systems, this study has used the RAS metrics and a black-box test. The result showed that the reliability stood within 62.70–70.00%, and its availability stood at 99.00% with a downtime of 3.65 days/year from a three-month study. As per the black-box test with standard 4G network connection, the system takes an average loading time of 1.00s for alphanumeric contents, 3.50s for images and graphics, and 5.50s for loading maps and navigations. This research evidenced that, the local emergency response and rescue units in developing countries like Bangladesh might want to use a well-designed response support system for improved acquisition, dissemination, and utilization of response information.

Abstract:

The Padma Multipurpose Bridge (PMB) is one of the biggest megaprojects of Bangladesh connecting one third of the country with the capital city, Dhaka. The infrastructure is expected to produce considerable uplift on the nation’s transport system, the national and regional economy, employment, household income, and ultimately, poverty reduction. From construction and river management points of view, it is the most difficult and engineering innovation-intenstive project in the world. Hence the Padma Multipurpose Bridge (PMB) required analytical, computational and experimental studies. In this work, a 3D Finite Element (FE) model of the actual PMB containing a single (6x150m) 900m modules has been developed in MIDAS Civil, a commercial computer program for bridges. P-y soil spring model following API guideline has been developed to conform flexible support system of the bridge pier. Following BNBC 2020, the bridge's performance has been evaluated for the 475-year, 975 years, and 2475-year return periods for Service Level, Design Basis and the Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE), respectively. The forced based design shows that the bridge pier reached only 28% and 36% of its axial and shear capacity respectively for an earthquake return period of 2475 years. On the other hand, the pier has reached a maximum of 41% of its total shear capacity for the same seismic level.

Abstract:

A tragic disaster occurred on April 24, 2013, in Bangladesh, when a nine storied building in a suburban area collapsed and killed 1115 people and injured many more. The study describes the process of rescue operation and emergency management services provided in the event. Data were collected using qualitative methods including in-depth interviews and a focus group discussion with the involved medical students, doctors, volunteers, and local people. Immediately after the disaster, rescue teams came to the place from Bangladesh Armed Forces, Bangladesh Navy, Bangladesh Air Force, and Dhaka Metropolitan and local Police and doctors, medical students, and nurses from nearby medical college hospitals and private hospitals and students from colleges and universities including local civil people. Doctors and medical students provided 24-hour services at the disaster place and in hospitals. Minor injured patients were treated at health camps and major injured patients were immediately carried to nearby hospital. Despite the limitations of a low resource setting, Bangladesh faced a tremendous challenge to manage the man-made disaster and experienced enormous support from different sectors of society to manage the disaster carefully and saved thousands of lives. This effort could help to develop a standard emergency management system applicable to Bangladesh and other counties with similar settings.
