Abstract-The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between learning organization practices and job satisfaction among academicians at public university. The primary objective of this study was to describe the practices of learning organization among academicians and how it may influence their job satisfaction at public university. Correlation research design has been applied in the study where questionnaire was used as the instrument. Based on the data gained in this study, it shows that strategic leadership was the most dimensions which the academicians prefer to practise while encourage collaboration and team learning is the lowest practised dimension. From the findings, it revealed that there is a positive relationship between learning organization practices and job satisfaction among the academicians. In future research, academicians from private universities can be study as comparison with public universities academicians. Such comparisons will help in generating strategic plans to narrow down the performance gap between two sectors and get the most out of the potency in learning.
Presenteeism is an underreported phenomenon. However, people are slowly beginning to shed more light on it as workplaces become more demanding of their employees. While an employee may think he is doing well by still showing up for work despite being injured, stressed or ill, the opposite is usually true. This paper examined the main influencing factors that affect presenteeism in a local government linked company. The factors examined were job insecurity, job demands and health issues. Quantitative data was collected using the non-probability self-administered questionnaire that consist of questions with 6-points Likert scales distributed to samples of 120 employees in a division within the organisation. The data collected was analysed using Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis to determine relationship between different variables. Based on the findings, job insecurity has the strongest and most significant relationship to presenteeism, whilst job demands and health issues were weak and not significant. This study also found that job insecurity as the most influencing factor that affects presenteeism in this local government linked company. The findings have made significant contribution towards developing initiatives focusing on job insecurity which is unique to this organisation to manage future escalation of presenteeism.
Learning through training and development programmes has been seen as an important vehicle to embed sustainability in organizations. This paper aims to conceptualize a model of sustainability learning in organizations and to understand the pivotal role that Human Resource Development plays in facilitating the learning process. It also explores relevant contextual factors that may influence the learning process engaged by employees in developing knowledge about sustainability. To fully understand the process of sustainability learning in organizations, this paper analyzes relevant theories on sustainability, Human Resource Development and learning theories. Results of the literature review will act as a basis to propose a framework which future researchers may refer to in studying sustainability learning in organizations. The proposed framework shall act as a point of departure to the development of holistic sustainability learning model through initiatives of Human Resource Development.
Employee learning plays a vital role in corporate sustainability strategy. Past attempts to map sustainability learning (SL) in organizations have fallen short in explaining the interactions between key learning approaches and the dynamics within the learning environment. This paper is based on a study conducted to explore how employees learned sustainability in organizations and the contextual factors that facilitated their learning process. The study adopted the interpretivist qualitative approach in data collection. Semi-structured interviews were used as the main method, supported by participant observation and document analysis. The findings found evidence suggesting an interplay between several types of learning approaches in SL and highlighted important contextual factors that facilitated the learning environment. Based on the findings, this paper proposes an integrated model for sustainable learning that contributes to refining understanding of the SL process and can be used to assist organizations in enhancing their SL programs. This research addresses the dearth of studies on SL in the organizational setting. It also provides theoretical contribution by providing a clearer overview regarding how SL occurs among employees based on the perspectives of social, experiential, and transformative learning theories.
Presenteeism is an underreported phenomenon. However, people are slowly beginning to shed more light on it as workplaces become more demanding of their employees. While an employee may think he is doing well by still showing up for work despite being injured, stressed or ill, the opposite is usually true. This is due to the fact that he may end up being less productive or make many mistakes while on the job, spreading his illnesses to other workers, all of which can cost the company so much more than if he were to stay at home. This paper examined the main influencing factors that affect presenteeism in a local government linked company. The factors examined were job insecurity, job demands and health issues. Quantitative data was collected using the nonprobability self-administered questionnaire that consist of questions with 6-points Likert scales distributed to samples of 120 employees in a division within the organisation. The data collected was analysed using Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis to determine relationship between different variables. Based on the findings, job insecurity has the strongest and most significant relationship to presenteeism, whilst job demands and health issues were weak and not significant. This study also found that job insecurity as the most influencing factor that affects presenteeism in this local government linked company. The findings have made significant contribution to the organisation towards developing initiatives focusing on job insecurity to manage future escalation of presenteeism.
