Scrutiny of demographic diversity in organisations is imperative as significant differences have emerged from multiple aspects of the workforce, especially gender and generation. Subsequently, the observed differences often lead to discrepancies in determining the causal factors of the intention to quit work. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the dissimilarities in selected demographics regarding the intention to quit work amongst police officers. This study is important because the inconsistencies and contradictions of previous studies on generational and gender differences in intentions to quit work are research gaps that should be explored. A total of 513 respondents' data were collected from the questionnaire. These data were analysed using the Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests to examine the differences between gender and generations, on the intention to quit work. The results of the study show that there is no difference between gender and generations in the intention to quit work among police officers. This study also has important implications that contribute to the existing body of knowledge, the management of an organization, practitioners, and policymakers, notably to know the dissatisfaction due to the lack of sensitivity to the needs of each gender and generation. Recommendations for future research are also presented.
This conceptual paper intends to present as a proposition of a framework to understand the antecedents of safety performance behaviors. The elements of performance which refer to the tangible behaviors exhibited by individuals at work, safety participation and safety compliance, are crucial in maintaining safe workplace for construction industry. This article illustrates potential antecedents in determining safety performance behaviors as effect of safety leadership attributes and safety climate components based on the Wu et al. (2008) model and current literature in this field. The article contributes to a better understanding of safety situation in the construction industry through the relationships among safety leadership behaviors, safety climate components and safety performance behaviors. This paper ends with a suggestion of the conceptual framework to study the antecedents of safety performance in the context of Malaysian construction industries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
