“…Moreover, everyone believes that their activities will lead to the outcomes they want, and that their actions will lead to the outcomes they desire. Several of the critiques raised by other writers, including the need for the theory to be enlarged to integrate the results and suggestions of another research, were shared by Vroom himself [22]. This theory is pertinent to the investigation since it instructs university administrators in the best ways to meet the needs of their employees by learning what it is they really value and expect from their educational experience.…”

Human resource management encompasses all aspects of an organization's interactions with its personnel, including hiring and firing, benefits administration, goal setting and monitoring, employee performance evaluations, and handling employee departures. Public universities in Meru County have established rules and processes to provide their highest possible quality of service to their students. Similarly, these universities' human resources departments have helped establish procedures to guarantee staff members' adherence to legal frameworks, punctuality in reporting for work, absence-free attendance, audits of risk management practices, and a focus on workplace health, safety, and succession. Despite their best efforts, they are experiencing poor and substandard staff performance. Staff morale is poor and employees are not committed to their jobs, which results in frequent walkouts. Employees vent their frustrations, citing the high turnover rate as a reason why they too are looking for new employment. Nevertheless, there is paucity of conceptual and empirical knowledge. Thus, the ground for the present study was to determine the effect of recruitment and selection on employee performance in public universities in Meru County. The study employed descriptive cross-sectional research design. Academic, administrative, and human resources personnel made up the 90 study's target population. The study employed census method to obtain the study respondents. The study employed structured questionnaires to collect data. A pretesting of data collection tools was undertaken at university of Embu due to comparative characteristics. The pilot study enhanced validity and reliability of the tools. Using a statistical software for the social sciences (SPSS) window version 25, numerical data obtained in the field via surveys were sorted and recorded. The researcher used descriptive statistics (such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) to describe and summarize the data, and inferential statistics to draw conclusions from the data. Pearson's bivariate correlation and multiple regression analysis were inferential statistics that was used to learn more about the correlation and effect of the variables of interest with regard to the continuous variables of interest. The study observed the ethical considerations of the research. This research uncovered a noteworthy positive correlation between various human resource functions, including recruitment and selection within public universities in Meru County. Through regression analysis, it was determined that approximately 46.1% of the variations in employee performance across these public universities could be attributed collectively to the utilization of recruitment and selection. Consequently, this study concludes that recruitment and selection exerted the most significant influence on employee performance. As a result, it is recommended that universities prioritize the enhancement of individual components within their HR functions rather than opting for a holistic approach.

“…The cultural cognitive pillar reveals the unconscious, taken for granted ways of thinking about the world on which individuals and organizations rarely reflect. Cultural cognitive aspects of institutions are common sense and are reproduced through mimetic means (Scott, 2005;Scribner & Donaldson, 2001). Institutions are reproduced in organizations through carriers: symbolic systems, relational systems, routines, and artifacts (Berger & Luckmann, 1966).…”

Pre-service teachers are typically supervised by two differently situated mentors: universitybased clinical supervisors and cooperating teachers. These two types of supervisors are positioned differently within the institution of teacher education. Using ecological systems theory combined with institution theory, this paper offers an analytical framework for ecologically investigating how teacher supervisors and cooperating teachers are positioned and the effects on their labor, identities, and practices and how ecological forces operating at multiple levels shape new teacher learning. Drawing from empirical research to provide examples of this framework in action, the paper examines challenges to the field and offers potential responses that teacher education programs and teacher supervisors can take to mitigate these challenges.

“…For an independent and relatively young discipline, the research, application, and deepening of theories are key to discipline development (Smith and Hitt, 2006). Theory is the basis for disciplines to construct research problems, establish arguments and interpret results, helping disciplines delineate their boundaries and establish central knowledge systems (Pettigrew and McKechnie, 2001).…”

Purpose This paper aims to reveal the interdisciplinarity of information science (IS) from the perspective of the evolution of theory application.Design/methodology/approach Select eight representative IS journals as data sources, extract the theories mentioned in the full texts of the research papers and then measure annual interdisciplinarity of IS by conducting theory co-occurrence network analysis, diversity measure and evolution analysis.Findings As a young and vibrant discipline, IS has been continuously absorbing and internalizing external theoretical knowledge and thus formed a high degree of interdisciplinarity. With the continuous application of some kernel theories, the interdisciplinarity of IS appears to be decreasing and gradually converging into a few neighboring disciplines. Influenced by big data and artificial intelligence, the research paradigm of IS is shifting from a theory centered one to a technology centered one.Research limitations/implications This study helps to understand the evolution of the interdisciplinarity of IS in the past 21 years. The main limitation is that the data were collected from eight journals indexed by the Social Sciences Citation Index and a small amount of theories might have been omitted.Originality/value This study identifies the kernel theories in IS research, measures the interdisciplinarity of IS based on the evolution of the co-occurrence network of theory source disciplines and reveals the paradigm shift being happening in IS.
