Authors: Tolga Atikbay, Yıldırım Öner

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2020.1.014

Keywords: Human Resources Management Practices, Organizational Justice, Organizational Cynicism

Abstract:
Organizational cynicism is one of the key factors that should be monitored in an organization since it is largely due to organizational reasons and it can be expressed that some of the most important reasons are human resources management (HRM) practices and organizational justice concepts. Although there are some researches on the bilateral relations of these variables with each other, in the literature, no study that examined the relationships and effects be-tween these three concepts, at the same time, has been observed. Therefore, this study focuses on the relationship between perceived HRM practices and organizational cynicism with the mediating role of perceived organizational justice. In this study, descriptive approach was applied and to test the research model; a quantitative method and questionnaire-based survey were conducted. The survey data were collected from the employees across local administra-tions (municipalities) in a developing country, Northern Cyprus, by using convenience sampling method. In order to test the conceptual framework, SPSS v24, Hayes Process v3.4 and Amos v22.0 Programs were used. In this context, in SPSS program, exploratory factor analyses and linear regression analysis were performed. Besides, Amos Program was used for confirmatory factor analyses. In addition, Hayes Process analysis was applied to determine the mutual relationships between variables and the direct and indirect effects between each other. According to the results of the analysis, it is observed that the perceived organizational justice mediates the relationship between perceived human resources management practices and organizational cynicism. In other words, the results proved that effective application of contemporary HRM approaches boosts the perception of organizational justice and at the same time helps to reduce organizational cynicism and also high perceived organizational justice reduces organizational cynicism. In addition, in this study, the scale developed by Singh (2004), which was widely used in the measurement of HRM practices in the literature, was further developed by the addition of work conditions, and at last it has been transformed into a more comprehensive scale that can be used in both public and private sectors. Thus, it has been made more appropriate for today's HRM practices and theory. Consequently, this study contributes to the relevant theoretical literature and has some important implications for managers.

The influence of CEO characteristics on corporate environmental performance of SMEs: Evidence from Vietnamese SMEs Pages 1671-1682 Right click to download the paper Download PDF

Authors: Nhat Minh Tran, Bich-Ngoc Thi Pham

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2020.1.013

Keywords: CEOs’ demographic characteristics, Vietnamese SMEs, Corporate environmental performance

Abstract:
Drawing on upper echelon theory, this study investigates the impact of CEOs’ (chief executive officers) demographic characteristics on corporate environmental performance (CEP) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We hypothesized that CEO characteristics, including gender, age, basic educational level, professional educational level, political connection, and ethnicity, affect SMEs’ environmental performance. Using the cross-sectional data analysis of 810 Vietnamese SMEs, this study provides evidence that female CEOs and CEOs’ educational level (both basic and professional) are positively related to the probability of CEP. We also find that based on the role of institutional environment on CEP, political connections had a negative effect on CEP in the context of Vietnam. Another finding is that SMEs with chief executives from ethnic minority groups show a higher level of the probability of corporate environmental performance than companies operated by Kinh chief executives. Since CEP is an essential dimension of corporate social responsibility, a strategic decision for SMEs, it is crucial for the company to select appropriate CEOs based on their demographic characteristics.

Authors: Hung Nguyen Viet, Hoa Ha Quynh

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2020.1.012

Keywords: Financial constraints, Productivity growth, Dynamic Panel Data model, Ordered Probit and Logit Models, TFP and TFP growth, Vietnam

Abstract:
This paper examines the impact of financial constraints on the development of Vietnamese firms driven by Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth at the firm level. The effects of financial constraints by FCIf index on TFP growth of 97,860 firms are estimated by applying Dynamic Panel Data model over the period 2012-2017. The results show that there was a negative correlation between FCIf and labor productivity growth and TFP growth in all industries. While FCIf index is increased by 0.1, TFP growth of firms is reduced by 3.71%. The results also show that there was an inverse relationship between FCIf index, and the size of value added and assets of firms. Firms operating in manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, and private firms face the biggest financial constraints.

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2020.1.009

Keywords: Self-efficacy, Perceived behavioral control, Higher education, Entrepreneurial intention, Vietnamese students

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the effects of higher education on self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 553 Vietnamese students at universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employed the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between higher education, self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, Chi-square and Cramer’s V tests are implemented to indicate the difference of higher education on entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between higher education and entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control also had positive effects on entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, Chi-Square and Cramer’s V test report that there was a strong evidence of higher education in entrepreneurial intention but there were no differences in self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.

Authors: Khaled Abdel Kader Alomari

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2020.1.007

Keywords: Management Bias, Employee weak performance, Jadara University

Abstract:
The study seeks to define the role of management bias on the weak performance of employ-ees. The research sample comprised of 107 male and female employees.

Questionnaire was used to measure the effect of management bias on employ-ees’ weak performance.

In light of the aforementioned results, the study recommended the management at Jadara University to establish an inde-pendent committee of professionals to recruit efficient and qualified employees.
