“…The resulting p-value of 0.165, in excess of 0.05 decision criterion, indicates that owner-managers refrain from the provision of job security to their employeeswith negative implication for the sustainability of SMEs. Sanyal et al (2018) elucidated the significant detrimental toll that a loss of job security impacts on employee performance. Employees will not be motivated to work effectively when owner-managers withhold job security.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the perspective of youth employees about owner manager businesses. The owner-manager business (a one-man business) is the most common in Lagos. Hence, an inquiry into their management style and how it impacts youth employees within the context of decent work is important to explore.Design/methodology/approachThe study used the convenience sample technique to obtain data from 382 owner-managers and youth employees who work in owner-managed businesses across various sectors. They were administered a questionnaire with carefully structured questions, with an 81% return rate. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique was used to identify the prominent parameters, and the hypothesis tested and validated accordingly.FindingsThe study identified three prominent factors that youth consider when working for an owner-manager business, i.e. the workplace factor, geographical factors and employee benefit. Consequently, issues regarding sustainable employment, conducive working conditions, job security and pension are paramount in the youths' view. Many owner-managers do not respect labour laws, and job security is low in owner-managed businesses; hence, they experience high turnover as most youth work in one-man businesses to gain experience.Originality/valueThe owner-manager business is the most predominant in the country and yet is under-researched. Furthermore, the perception of youth employees regarding owner-manager businesses provides a better understanding of performance and expected satisfactory outcome required from youth employees and how they can be met through proper channelling of their energies to the right tasks.

Background Job security is one of the basic needs of nurses, and it significantly impacts their willingness to work. The effectiveness of job performance among nurses will reflect on the organization's performance by providing high-quality health services. Aim The main purpose of this study is to identify Jordanian nurses' perceptions of job security and employee performance and to compare these variables between governmental and private hospitals. Method The study utilized a descriptive, comparative cross-sectional design. It was conducted in two governmental and two private hospitals. A sample of 156 nurses was recruited conveniently to participate in the study. The Job security questionnaire and The Six-Dimension Scale of Nursing Performance were used to collect data. Results The mean value of the job security score was (3.26), reflecting a moderate level of job security. The employee performance score average was (2.68) reflecting a high level of job performance. Nurses working in private hospitals had significantly higher scores in terms of overall job security (t = -5.53, p < 0.001) and employee performance (M = 2.53, SD ± 0.53) than nurses working in governmental hospitals. Conclusion Nurses with moderate job security levels obtained high job performance scores. Private hospitals had higher job security and employee performance than governmental hospitals. Future research can look into the characteristics of Jordanian nursing work environments that might have contributed to the observed differences between job security and employee performance.

“…Job security can be defined as security against employment loss (Kraja, 2015). It is concerned with the state of realizing that one's employment is secure, with no likelihood of being terminated or made jobless (Sanyal et al, 2018). Jobs which are not supported by unlimited contract or lack the assurance for reasonable duration are considered to be insecure (Lucky et al, 2013).…”

Purpose of the study: Quality of work life (QWL) is vital for all establishments to continue to hire and retain high-performance workers. However, from the review of previous literature on QWL, little is known about the dimensions that constitute high QWL among academics. Therefore, this study aimed at contributing to the literature by conducting a detailed validation of seven dimensions of QWL through the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) procedure. Methodology: This study employed a cross-sectional research design to establish reliable measures for the QWL construct. The items were adapted and modified to suit this study. Study data was obtained using a structured questionnaire from 100 randomly selected academics from the five Malaysian research universities. The study further conducted the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) procedure using IBM-SPSS version 21.0. Main Findings: A total of 51 items were initially developed to measure QWL construct, however, from the EFA procedure, the study found that 8 items with factor loading below the cut-off point of .60 were deleted and 48 items with a factor loading above the cut-off point of .60 were retained and deemed suitable to measure the QWL construct. Applications of this study: This study validated the dimensions that lead to improved QWL. Therefore, this study is particularly useful to the Malaysian universities' management who aim to obtain benefits from super motivated and high-performance academics by making sure that the workers' overall well-being is protected in the workplace. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study established a validated and reliable instrument for measuring the QWL construct among academics in the Malaysian research universities.
