How do internships influence the socialization and performance of accounting students employed in the tax department of a CPA firm? Previous research on accounting internships primarily focuses on auditing personnel. There is evidence in the literature that indicates audit and tax professionals have different work cultures. This paper examines the relationship between internships and subsequent professional performance of tax professionals as measured by promotion velocity and employee turnover. The human resource department, from seven regional CPA firms with similarly structured internship programs, provided performance, promotion and turnover data on employees who completed internships and employees who did not complete internships. The results of the study indicate that internships positively affect performance evaluations, promotions, and employee retention of tax professionals.

Full textAbstract:
This article shows that professional skill level of employees is a key factor in the formation of employee responses to subcontracted forms of employment. In addition, the proportion of employees hired through temporary staffing arrangements compared to the core workers determines the employees’ capacity for collective action. This article uses observational and interview data from a public university hospital, where both skilled health care professionals and janitorial workers are hired through temporary staffing arrangements. The findings reveal that skilled health care professionals develop more individualistic responses to cope with the subcontracting practices, and the co-employment of subcontracted and permanent workers undermines solidarity among them. Lacking the professional skills and positioned at the bottom of the hospital hierarchy, janitorial workers opt for collective action against the hospital administration. Finally, the analysis of counter-responses of the hospital administration points to the dynamic nature of workplace relations, and the capacity of employers to reshape the responses of workers.

Full textAbstract:
The article describes the results obtained on the study of the psychological characteristics of professional interaction of employees of the penal enforcement system. Thus, the topic of communication and professional communication specifically occupies a special place in professional psychological training with employees of institutions. A person's personality is formed and develops in the process of interacting with other people through the transmission of information. The article indicates that the topic of professional communication for employees of the penal enforcement system is relevant due to their constant interaction with various categories of people, that is, both with employees and with convicts. Employees, due to the complexity and specificity of their official activities, often face unusual situations in the context of interaction. It is noted that the specific side of communication is determined when making a specific choice of professional interaction, tasks and goals that an employee of the penal enforcement system faces. So, employees have to solve conflict issues, make difficult decisions, constantly be collected and be responsible not only for themselves, but also for others. The object of the study is professional communication, and the subject is the psychological characteristics of the employee's personality, which can affect the professional interaction of employees of the penal enforcement system. With the help of direct empirical research, the goal is achieved — to identify the existing psychological characteristics of the personality of an employee of the penal enforcement system. The personality of an employee is considered in the context of his professional interaction. The results obtained based on the results of the study allow us to identify the necessary patterns and features about the studied category of employees for further psychocorrective and psychoprophylactic work with them. The article also presents the topics of lectures that allow you to bring the necessary aspects of the topic under study, teach self-help and mutual assistance skills, and talk about the importance of professional communication skills in the course of employees' professional activities.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe article discusses the problem of occupational adaptation, which is a significant motivator for keeping a job. The concern of employers that the subordinates are best suited to the work they perform is important for the efficient and effective operation of the entire organization. When an employee has a sense of adaptation to the tasks and requirements of the work imposed on him, he achieves a positive state of well-being, thus striving to stay in the company for as long as possible. Efforts of the organization to ensure the required quality of work already at the stage of introduction into the organization translate into benefits from the skills and competencies of the new employee. The aim of the article is to present selected issues related to the professional adaptation of newly hired employees in the workplace. In the theoretical part, the essence and scope of professional adaptation of newly hired employees were pointed out and the factors conditioning the achievement of adaptation to the organization were analyzed. The empirical part discusses adaptation tools, which organizations use to provide employees with support in the process of introduction to work. It also examines the level of their effectiveness in adapting to work in selected aspects of the organization’s functioning.

Full textAbstract:
Professional certification, a proficiency to validate employees' competency and readiness for career development, has recently become a subject of inquiry among researchers. There are concerns about employers' demand for foreign in place of local professional certifications in employment decisions, especially in developing countries. Therefore, this study examines the impact of indigenous and foreign professional certifications on employee career development in developing countries like Nigeria. A survey questionnaire was designed to collect data from certified and non-certified human resource professionals in Nigeria. A structural equation modeling analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between the exogenous and homogenous constructs. Findings revealed that local and foreign certifications influence the career development of the sampled employees. However, the model's explanatory power shows that foreign certification has a greater influence on career development than local certification. The study report suggests that both certifications benefit career development, thus, are relevant in career development and employment decisions.

Hospitality and tourism management is one of the rapid growth industries over the decades due to transportation developments. However, a significant concern of the current hospitality and tourism industry is frequent and high-level of employee turnover rate. The hospitality and tourism industry always required vocational skills and practical experiences which professionals could not gain from other business sectors and universities. Therefore, the replacement of employees, regardless of their grading and positions, is significantly expensive due to the additional costs of training and professional development. The purpose of this study is to explore and understand the reasons and motivations that cause employees and professionals in the field of hospitality to remain. Based on the Social Cognitive Career Theory, the results indicated that the sense of belonging and the balance between family responsibilities and work served as two of the key themes for their career decision. The results of this study may indicate that hotel leaders, managers, human resources planners and employers should take the results of this study as the opportunity to reform, polish and develop their employee’s satisfaction plan, training programmes and human resources planning in order to increase the satisfaction of their employees and reduce the turnover rate.

Abstract The employees are the valuable resources to any organizations. The business runs on the efficiency of employee’s performance. Their performances are determined by various factors like job skills, work culture, interpersonal and intrapersonal relationship and health. The health includes both physical and mental health. The disturbance in the mental health has an impact on the physical health which impacts the employee performance at work. Employee’s mental health primarily gets affected by their personal life. The unpleasant incident in their personal or family life affects the quality of work. They spend most of their time at workplace and feel like a second home to have supportive environment. The employer’s responsibility towards their employees in taking care of their personal is a must to provide work life balance. This is done through Employee Assistance Program (EPA) in promoting mental wellness at workplace. The program focuses on having proper communication with employees to address their professional concerns, counselling to provide professional support in addressing their personal problems and family issues and employee care to establish lasting relationship. This is to ensure the employees are connected with the organization and build trust and confidence and provide positive work environment. The satisfied employees are more productive at work and contribute to organizational growth.

The research was done on how the effectiveness of human capital exploitation is influenced by the relevance of skills required by employer. The research problem: the mismatch of employee skills to employer’s requirements gives cause to an inefficient use of human capital, causing damage to both employers and employees. Study objective: To ascertain employees, working in the banking sector, skills, education and qualification compliance with industry requirements and determine how discrepancies affect employee motivation. The ability to make impartial self-appraisal of own activities and competences, is particularly important, because only a man who is able to impartially assess may plan the future, choose the right career directions, evaluate own characteristics, and identify cumbersome obstacles.

Abstract Appraisal is a tool used by both management and employees to attain their goals. Properly carried out employee performance appraisal allows to monitor the employee's actions and provides information on the level of his or her performance. Feedback in the form of appraisal motivates the employee to work more effectively and productively. Appraisal also enables to shape the personnel policy – it allows to chart employee career paths and determine training needs of an organization. For appraisal, however, to fulfil the attributed role, it needs to be carried out in a professional manner. The aim of the article is to draw attention to the importance of employee performance appraisal in the personnel management process and to provide information on the core principles of appraisal. It describes, among others, determinants, criteria as well as selected methods and techniques of appraisal. An interesting point can be the use of the PageRank algorithm which can be a good solution for rating employees.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of staff motivation in a large financial company in a case study format. The technique of V. I. Gerchikov to determine the motivational profiles of employees: instrumental, professional, patriot, boss, lumpen. The experience of research conducted using this technique contains limited information on how to implement such research in organizations, and what results can be obtained. The features of the implemented research are the format of the survey (internally, HR research), the motivation of respondents (the possibility of obtaining a personal report), the format for presenting the results (the report and infographics on the internal portal), the breadth of analysis of the data obtained (analytics for certain categories of employees) and the nature of the research – applied. The test results allowed us to understand various aspects of motivation and motivational profiles of employees by category (position, length of service, gender). In the studied organization, the most common were professional and instrumental motives, but employees of different positions differed in terms of motivation and in motivational profiles. Professional motives are more typical for managers, and instrumental ones for specialists. Seniority in the company affects the change in motivation: if professional and patriotic motives are more typical for newcomers, then over time professional and instrumental ones begin to prevail. The most common employee profiles in an organization are “instrumental” and “professional”. An analysis of the differences in the distribution of employee profiles revealed that there are more “professionals” among managers (56%), and among employees working with clients – “instrumentalists” (60%). Employees with profiles “professional-instrumental” and “instrumental-professional” are widespread in the studied company. The results obtained were taken into account when adjusting the current motivation system and personnel development programs.

The article presents the results of a survey of municipal employees in rural areas of the Stavropol Territory. The purpose of the study was to determine the important professional attributes (characteristics) of young professionals who come to the ranks of the municipal service in rural areas of the region. In total, 247 municipal employees from 10 municipal districts of the Stavropol Territory took part in the expert survey. Comparisons of the views of young specialists and specialists with more than 10 years of work experience in the municipal service show significant differences in the set of important professional attributes formed during the period of study at the university. The characteristics are the starting point during the period of professional socialization directly to the position of a municipal employee. According to municipal employees with up to 5 years of service, the key professional attributes should be willingness to reproduce professional status-role relationships; readiness to perform a professional function – the development and adoption of management decisions; willingness and participation in innovation in the workplace. According to municipal employees with over 10 years of experience, the key professional attributes are the willingness to adequately respond to the requirements of the professional environment; informational and functional readiness for professional development.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past 10 years, human resources (HR) professionals have shown a tendency to underestimate the importance that employees place on employee benefit programs in terms of job satisfaction and employee attraction. Surveys show that employees value benefits over most other HR programs and that HR professionals are not in tune with those preferences. Possible reasons for the difference in opinion are that HR professionals are unaware of employee survey findings, the lack of respect sometimes given to benefit programs by HR professional associations and consultants and outdated job satisfaction studies cited in human resource and organizational behavior textbooks.

Full textAbstract:
There have been many studies on the differences between the public and private sectors; yet, these studies often do not address differences within the public sector. This article investigates the impacts of the private sector experience on the employment of different categories of public employees: public budgeting and finance (PBF) employees, professionals, and managers. It also compares the different impacts among mixed categories of PBF professionals, non-PBF professionals, PBF managers, and non-PBF managers. The results suggest that the private sector experience increases the likelihood of a public sector employee being in a PBF or professional position, while it decreases the propensity of a public sector employee to be in a managerial position. Moreover, while private sector experience negatively correlates with public employees’ job satisfaction, the results are not significant for PBF employees and professionals, and the negative effects are much higher for non-PBF employees and nonprofessionals.

Full textAbstract:
Companies regularly need to communicate information about their employees’ performance to a variety of people who need to know; internally to co‐workers involved in audits or evaluations, and externally to customers and clients, the media, and prospective employers seeking references. Where the information is negative, companies fear the backlash of defamation lawsuits from employees. If the employees are themselves managers or professionals, the quantity and quality of information, the need for its disclosure, and the magnitude of the legal threat all rise. Highly publicized defamation cases have prompted a wave of no or limited comment policies. By reading brief case synopses illustrating the various communications settings, managers can gain a more accurate sense of the practical dynamics and law of employee disclosure. They can then better evaluate the view that the risk reduction offered by no‐comment policies does not justify the adverse effect on their own companies, their productive employees, and other stakeholders in accurate information. Managers can create policies and procedures that make both business and legal sense.

The article analyzes domestic legislation, legal doctrine, and other fields of knowledge regarding formal and informal professional education. Various scholarly approaches to this issue are considered, subjected to critical analysis, and proposals are made for their improvement. Special attention is paid to the classification of types of professional education, suggesting the own division into formal and informal professional education for employees. Additionally, it is proposed to classify formal education into subtypes based on the focus and location of such education. The article particularly focuses on elucidating concepts such as 'primary professional training,' 'retraining of workers and managers,' as well as 'qualification upgrading' and 'internship.' Emphasis is placed on the importance, in modern conditions of high competition and globalization of the labor market, of strengthening requirements regarding the improvement of professional skills. In this regard, the expediency of enhancing the legal framework for professional training of employees is noted. The prospects for further research in this area are outlined, especially the development and implementation of innovative methods and approaches capable of accounting for changes in the labor market in the near future. The issue of informal education is also addressed, and based on international experience, conclusions are drawn that self-education is no less important as a tool for the continuous development and enrichment of an employee's knowledge, contributing to selfimprovement and professional skill enhancement. Qualification upgrading of employees is one of forms ensuring the continuity of professional education throughout their employment. In economically developed countries, there is a trend towards increasing investment in the development of self-education systems to support the competitiveness of workers, indicating that governments and employers recognize the importance of continuous learning as a strategic direction to ensure the stability and innovative development of the national economic sector. Keywords: labor law/legislation, labor relations/legal relations, employment contract, employee, employer.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the implications on former accounting firm partners becoming employees of a publicly owned accounting corporation, the responses of the former partners and impacts on the acquiring company. Partners of accounting and other professional service firms selling their firms to publicly owned companies often remain with the acquiring company as employees and receive company shares as consideration for their firms. Agency theory suggests public ownership will result in changes to the roles of senior professionals with potential resistance and motivation consequences. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses a case study approach involving the review of publicly available information and interviews with executives and senior professionals of an Australian publicly owned accounting company, Stockford Limited. Findings The Stockford case indicates that selling their firm to a publicly owned company can have significant negative implications for accounting firm partners. The former partners struggled to adapt to their new roles as senior professional employees and shareholders. Their responses had significant impacts on company performance, which ultimately contributed to the collapse of the company, thus reflecting the power senior professionals retain regardless of the change of ownership form. Research limitations/implications Care is required when generalising findings of a single case to other professions and other geographic jurisdictions. Practical implications This paper has significant implications for entrepreneurs and executives consolidating professional service firms, partners considering selling their firms and investors in publicly owned professional service firms. Originality/value Despite the emergence of publicly owned accounting and other professional service companies and the importance and power of senior professionals in professional service firms, this is the first study to explore the implications on senior professionals of selling their firms to public companies.

Full textAbstract:
Professionals and students working in college recreation departments are often involved in many facets relating to the hiring of competent employees. A review of literature revealed that various professions sought different qualities in potential job candidates. There were few examples of research relating to the qualities sought by potential employers of campus recreation personnel. Therefore, recreation directors, holding a NIRSA institutional membership, were surveyed to determine the characteristics, attributes, and competencies preferred in new hires for: (a) professional positions, (b) graduate assistantships, and (c) student employees. The findings revealed the most highly sought after qualifications in professional job candidates were excellent language/speaking skills, prior experience in campus recreation, neat overall appearance, excellent writing skills, and possession of a graduate degree. In terms of graduate assistant positions, campus recreation directors highly ranked the categories neat overall appearance, excellent writing skills, and prior experience in campus recreation. Campus recreation directors ranked the possession of certifications in first aid and CPR highly among student employee applicants.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze conditions that influence how employees engage in healthcare quality improvement (QI) work. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative case study based on interviews (n=27) and observations (n=10). Findings The main conditions that influence how employees engage in healthcare QI work are professions, work structures and working relationships. These conditions can both prevent and facilitate healthcare QI. Professions and work structures may cement existing institutional logics and thus prevent employees from engaging in healthcare QI work. However, attempts to align QI with professional logics, together with work structures that empower employees, can make these conditions increase employee engagement, which can be accomplished through positive working relationships that foster institutional work, which bridge different competing institutional logics, making it possible to overcome barriers that professions and work structures may constitute. Practical implications Understanding the conditions that influence how employees engage in healthcare QI work will make initiatives more likely to succeed. Originality/value Healthcare QI has mainly been studied from an implementer perspective, and employees have either been neglected or seen as passive resisters. Weak employee perspectives make healthcare QI research incomplete. In our research, healthcare QI work is studied closely at the actor level to understand healthcare QI from an employee perspective.

Digitalization of the economy and society, on the one hand, creates new opportunities for the development of human potential and an increased efficiency of its use, and on the other hand, it requires the acquisition of new professional and super-professional competencies demanded in the modern labor market. The article is aimed at expounding the issues of formation and development of competencies of an employee in modern digital world according to the results of an expert survey on the quality of working life in the conditions of digital transformations. The article estimates the employers’ demand for competencies and their significance for employees. The priority of formation and development of competencies from the position of employers and employees is determined. It is identified that the most important competencies for both the employer and the employee are digital, professional, social, personal, educational, and the least important are civic competences and competence of cultural awareness and self-expression. According to the survey results, the influence of higher and vocational education on the competitiveness of the employee in the labor market, the willingness of employees to independently invest in their professional development and the impact of the lack of digital skills on employment opportunities are characterized. The results of experts’ answers on the frequency of raising of qualification in the conditions of digitalization of the economy are provided. The impact of professional development opportunities in the workplace on the quality of working life for employees of different generations is evaluated. The emphasis is made upon that creating conditions and opportunities for professional growth in the digital economy should become an important strategic direction for the formation of a new quality of life in the context of digital transformations in Ukraine, and ensuring lifelong learning conditions for the citizens of the country is the most effective form of the State-based regulation of the digital segment of the labor market.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Unconditional basic income (UBI) is one of the instruments directly impacting its beneficiaries and their situation in the labor market. The most critical aspects of UBI’s impact on the labor market include labor supply and demand, the bargaining power of employees and the situation of employers, and the recognition of socially beneficial work as equivalent to gainful employment. The study aims to analyze the declared impact of the unconditional basic income on the professional situation of one of the groups of its beneficiaries - women whose bargaining power as employees is weakened and who perform socially beneficial housework. The study included in -depth interviews with four women who were on maternity leave. The results showed that UBI influences the position of the employee in the labor market, weakens employers and positively affects employees. The key issue for the respondents is the UBI amount, because a relatively small amount would be treated as additional income. UBI could strengthen the position of mothers with young children, provide greater psychological comfort and enable more effective forms of work, such as remote or part-time work.

Full textAbstract:
In the modern working environment, the performance of professional tasks mostly depends on the physiological and cognitive abilities of employees, adaptive and mental processes. From these abilities and processes depend on information processing. Emphasized attention is placed on the fact that acceptable working conditions, high work productivity and a high level of well-being of employees are interconnected elements. Therefore, it is important to manage the conditions of cognitive and physiological stress in order to reduce their harmful consequences for individual employees, teams, organizations, etc. To improve the effectiveness of risk management, a four-step approach is proposed, which involves accounting for occupational hazards, dangerous and harmful occupational factors at the workplace; providing the opportunity of any employee to contact the group of rapid response to hazards in case of occurrence or change of dangerous and harmful occupational factors, growth of occupational risks, appearance of new hazards, etc. during the work shift; introducing a discussion with justification of preventive and protective actions to reduce professional risks; application of measures for the prevention of dangerous situations (conducting supervision, audits and self-assessment of the activities of employees at workplaces). Systematicity is the main principle of ergonomics used to develop an algorithm for the step-by-step implementation of the process of managing professional risks. It`s consists of defining as a complete system - the set of all components of the labor activity of employees, which would reduce the impact on the physiological and cognitive potential of the employee. Forms of a hazard guide, a hazard notification card and a safety audit report have been developed. It will reduce the time to learn the specified procedures due to a conscious attitude to one's own activities at the workplace. Reasonable measures to increase the effectiveness of professional risks management based on the step-by-step performance of certain actions by employees are oriented to increasing awareness of safety at the workplace.

This study appraises the potential for union growth among professional employees in the private sector. It utilizes several data sources that permit estimates of the number of employees in 1978 who met the complex legal criteria for representation in professional units, and it also analyzes data on NLRB election results for 1973–79. The author concludes that unionism among private-sector professionals has been growing more rapidly than generally assumed, but the number of professionals who remain to be organized is relatively small.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis of the current labor legislation leads to the conclusion that there is no obligation for the employee to comply with ethical standards in the course of work, and therefore this obligation is not the main one for the employee. In the scientific literature and law enforcement practice, there is an idea that if the duty to comply with ethical standards is imposed by federal laws or professional standards, then in this case we are talking about professional ethics. For the majority of employees, there are no such norms, which forces employers to develop local acts containing such requirements. Due to the lack of regulatory regulation, the main problem is the legality of bringing employees to disciplinary responsibility for violation of ethical standards, given that the nature of ethical categories is evaluative.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed a large-scale adoption of teleworking in various fields, accepted by many employers as the ideal solution to protect their employees against the risk of contracting SARS-CoV-2. Working from home generated substantial savings for organisations and also contributed to alleviating employee stress. In addition to the potential positive effects, telework during COVID-19 favoured counterproductive behaviour, job insecurity, and intention to retire because of the negative outcomes generated by the growing conflict between personal life and working from home and professional and social isolation. The purpose of this research is to define and analyse a conceptual model capable of highlighting the way in which telework, job insecurity, and work–life conflict led to professional isolation and turnover intention, and finally, to the counterproductive behaviour of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research was implemented using employees in Romania, an emerging European economy severely affected by the recent pandemic. The results have been analysed with the help of structural equations in SmartPLS, thus reflecting a significant influence of teleworking on work–life conflict, professional isolation, intentions, and insecurity during the pandemic. The insecurity of employees trained in teleworking contributes significantly to enhancing work–life conflict and professional isolation.

Full textAbstract:
The quality of labor resources, the level of labor productivity and the duration of the working capacity period largely depend on the health status of working citizens. Today, there are a huge number of factors that determine the professional health of employees, among which the key place is occupied by professional risks. According to the world health organization, occupational risks are responsible for 1,7% of DALY losses worldwide, reflecting the years of an employee's life spent in a state of disability. At present, there is practically no developed system of professional risk assessment and management in Russia, which is designed to preserve the health of an employee in the course of their work. In this regard, within the framework of this study, the authors attempt to determine a set of key factors that have the greatest impact on the professional health and duration of the working capacity of employees.

This comparative study was conducted to identify the effects of employee mindset on employee innovativeness among civil servants in two ministries and one government agency in Malaysia, enabling a deeper understanding on the contributing factors of employee innovativeness in civil service in Malaysia. The findings revealed that there were significant and positive relationships among and between all dimensions of employee mindset and employee innovativeness among professional grade employees but only three dimensions of employee mindset (cognitive complexity, boundary spanning and adaptability) were associated to employee innovativeness among the non-professional group. Two other dimensions of employee mindset (cosmopolitanism and entrepreneurial mindset) were not found to be related to employee innovativeness for this group. In addition, it was found that all dimensions of employee mindset influenced employee innovativeness among the professional group of employees while for the non-professional group, only three out of five dimensions of employee mindset had significant influence towards employee innovativeness. It is recommended that employees in the non-professional group should be guided and rewarded for any innovative ideas they presented. Also, for the management to reinvent work processes to serve the people better. In addition, all civil servants should be allowed to use their own creativity complete their work and not through the conventional, repetitive way of doing things.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Professional training is a basic element in the professional development of any employee, especially considering the evolution of the last months, marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and important economic and social changes. The crisis caused by the pandemic and the disappearance of many jobs, forces employees to professional conversions or to sharpen the area of activity by acquiring new, sometimes challenging skills. The aim of the study is to analyze the professional training activity in the public administration during the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify the advantages and disadvantages of training in the online system, the efficiency of this type of training, as well as the factors that would have a positive impact on a good performance of this activity. The research method is quantitative, based on the opinion survey, through the self-administered questionnaire. Employees are open to training, especially when dealing with new jobs and technologies or simply to stay up to date with the latest information in their field. Employers, in turn, want professional, efficient and motivated employees. Vocational training is a necessary tool to remain competitive in the labor market and to face the challenges of a global economy where digital skills are the key factor.

Full textAbstract:
Employees use mobile phones for several information processes at work, either in relation to their work or their personal life. This study uses descriptive statistics and regression analysis in order to identify which information processes are accessed by employees to reach their personal and professional goals when using mobile phones at work, using a sample of 368 professionals from different fields in Romania. The results of the study show that messaging applications (e-mail, sms, Messenger, Whatsapp, etc.) and searches for information on the Internet are the biggest time consumers for personal purposes, while telephone conversations (voice only) and searches for useful information on the Internet are the biggest consumers of working time for professional purposes. Based on the opinions of employees, we found that the most important effect of mobile phone use at work for personal purposes lies in the fact that it helps employees be more productive through a better work–life balance. The mobile phone was originally designed as a personal device, but today, since employers are allowing or requiring its use, during work, it is also used for professional purposes.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to review issues in continuing professional development of vocational training to the mechanical industries. The spectacle of individuals entering the labour market without relevant qualifications is common in Malaysia. There are many who choose to work instead of pursuing further education after secondary school. In the labour market, these individuals are considered to be low-skilled workers because they had no training prior to employment. The role of employers in providing training and education to employees is vital in establishing career development of employees. Employers who contributed to their employees' training funds through Human Resources Development Council would provide opportunities to increase the skills of workers. Based on the Malaysia's Development Plan of Occupational Skill, the issues and challenges that have been identified in producing skilled workers in interpersonal and technical skills. This paper provided an opportunity to examine an enterprise-based approach to skill formation for workers with basic academic qualifications. It presents an alternative scenario to institution-based Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), which many Malaysians are familiar with. A structured curriculum development of human resources learning needs according to the job profile of the typical individual and group work which will provide a clearer perspective on knowledge, competence and skill levels of employee behavior in performing tasks will be discussed. The biggest impact on this study is to produce high skill employees concerning customer satisfaction and increased organizational productivity towards high income nations.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The aim of this paper is to analyse the experience of female part-time professionals with employee and managerial positions with the utilisation of flexible work arrangements in a corporate environment in the country with a full-time dominated work culture. The data represent a rare case study of the work environment in a Czech branch of one multinational company. This paper focusses on the position of female employees working part-time in professional and managerial positions. The reason for such an arrangement is their attempt to combine career and care for pre-school children. This paper evaluates the effects of flexible work policies in an environment where part-time work for female professionals is rarely available and, therefore, precious. In particular, this paper discusses conditions under which these arrangements are available and its impact on gender equality. Design/methodology/approach – The paper represents a rare case-study of an organisational environment. The seven analysed interviews derive from a larger study on the corporate environment which included 35 interviews and a series of participatory observations. In the analysis, the following questions are discussed: What is the position of employees working within flexible working arrangements in a specific corporate culture? Which aspects of flexible working arrangements affect the professional recognition and evaluation of the employees? To what extent and how do flexible working arrangements affect employee satisfaction with their working and private lives? Findings – The data reveal the diverse and often subtle forms of discrimination and exploitation of working mothers, who use the flexible working arrangement as a work-family reconciliation strategy. Female employees working with alternative working arrangements do not have equal bargaining power in comparison to other employees, regardless of whether they are professionals, and sometimes in managerial positions. At the formal level, the part-time professionals are restricted in pay and in access to the company benefits. In the informal relations within the workplace, their work lacks of sufficient recognition of colleagues and superiors. Overall, part-time work for female professionals and managers leads to an entrapment between the needs of their family and the expectations of their employer. Practical implications – The research reveals the practical limitation in introducing policies the work-life reconciliation policies. The results show the need to focus on promoting better conditions for employees working part-time. Also, it shows that managerial and highly demanding professional positions can be executed on a part-time basis if the work environment is open towards accepting this arrangement. Moreover, the findings outline the possibilities of developing workplace practices in the Czech Republic in a woman-friendly direction. Social implications – Specific legislative arrangements should be enacted, providing better protection for employees in non-standard employment. At the same time, the incentives for employers to enable part-time working arrangements should be provided. Originality/value – The amount of research on female professionals working part-time or from home is rather limited in context of the post-communist countries. The paper discusses the “double” tokenism of the women working in the leadership positions and at the same time in flexible working arrangements in the full-time working culture.

Abstract The aim of the paper is to compare the employers' and employees' insights on human capital quality defining and human capital development at organisational level, based on a survey carried out in the county of Satu Mare, Romania. Our findings show that as human capital buyers, employers understand by human capital quality professional background and skills, professional behaviour and efficiency and productivity for the organisation. As human capital sellers, for employees human capital quality means health and the ability to learn and to be suitable to the job requirements. Regarding the opportunities to develop the organisational human capital, the views of employers and employees are very different when the level of discussion is international (macro-level). Employees consider that the international environment has a greater impact on human capital development in their organisation as the employers.

The present study explored the multiple identities held by health professionals in a large public hospital that was experiencing organizational change that involved the transition from the traditional use of professional hierarchies to the use of new clinical teams. Consistent with predictions from social identity theory and research, the results of an organization-wide survey (N = 615) reveal the protective role of identification with professional departments during change that threatened group status. Professional departments were the preferred target of identification of employees, and employees who preferred this target reported a stronger sense of identification. Also consistent with our predictions, employees who were members of higher status groups reported greater job satisfaction, higher levels of openness to organizational change, and reduced levels of change-related uncertainty. These results were more pronounced for employees who identified with their professional department. Implications for managing multiple identities during organizational transition are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Social media has become a tool used for the process of employee recruitment in a range of industries. The technology is utilised by job candidates and by employers and job-recruiters to screen and source suitable staff for their organisations. Research has investigated issues relating to ethics, privacy and accuracy regarding employers’ use of social media to screen prospective employees. Yet, limited research has been conducted to investigate employer perceptions of prospective/current employees’ unprofessional social media behavior. Our study involved a survey of 396 Australia employers from a range of industries to explore the influence of job-candidates’ social media presence on employer decision-making and the most unprofessional social media behaviors according to employers. Our investigation found 82% of employers are influenced by a job candidate’s social media presence and using social media to intentionally cause harm to others was perceived by employers as the most unprofessional social media behavior. The findings from this study will assist educators in guiding university students and graduates to meet industry expectations as professionals and provide scholars with new knowledge as to what is deemed to be unacceptable behavior in a professional context at this point in the evolution of social media.

Full textAbstract:
Good knowledge of a foreign language is an important factor contributing to the professional recognition and career prospects. In order to improve professional foreign language competence, the study of the situation in professional foreign language teaching and learning was carried out in three business sectors: logistics, transport, service industry. The survey was carried among three target groups: employers, foreign language teachers and students. Employers were asked to name language skills which employees need most to perform work, to express an opinion on the role of employers in the English language learning process as well as to identify topics, most common words, phrases, or specific professional terms which would be important for their employees to know. Students were asked about motivation and foreign language needs, training environment and teaching methods as well as about their learning styles. Foreign language teachers' questionnaires contained the evaluation of teaching process and methods used, lessons preparation and evaluation of learning. The study results show that foreign language competences are considered by employers as one of the most important for the employees. However, the level of language competences varies according to the position and role within the company. Based on the findings, suggestions and recommendations were developed for acquiring a professional foreign language in the three business sectors.
