This document provides an introduction and literature review for a comparative study of employer provided training and organizational performance in the UK and Bangladesh. It discusses relevant theories like human capital theory and Hofstede's cultural dimensions model. For the UK context, it summarizes studies finding mixed results on the relationship between human resource management practices like training and organizational performance. Cultural dimensions show some differences between the UK and Bangladesh that could impact work attitudes and performance.
Effects of Employee Commitment on Academic Performance of Secondary Schools i...paperpublications3
Abstract: Employee commitment always plays a very key role in improving the academic performance. Distinguished performing companies perceive that employee commitment is a premier contributing factor toward maintaining continual success and composing value. A committed employee is participative and energized about their work and performs in an aspect that will progress the organization’s interest. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of employee commitment on academic performance of secondary schools in Elgeyo- Marakwet County. The objectives of the study were: to determine the effect of emotional commitment of the headteacher on school’s academic performance, to establish the effect of normative commitment of the headteacher on school’s academic performance, to examine the effect of continual commitment of the headteacher on school’s academic performance. The study adopted a census case design that entailed having all the headteachers of all the secondary schools in Elgeyo-Marakwet County as the respondents. The three constructs of employee commitment i.e. the normative, emotional and continuous commitment were treated as the independent variable while academic performance was the dependent variable. Data was analyzed using SPSS and both descriptive and inferential statistics was used. Regression was used to construct models that were used to determine the nature of the relationships between the variables of interest. All the hypothesized relationships developed were found to be statistically significant at level p < 0.05 i.e. emotional commitment (r = 0.401, p < 0.000), continual commitment (r = 0.410, p < 0.000), normative commitment (r = 0.273, p < 0.000) were correlated to academic performance significantly and positively. all the organizational commitment constructs of emotional commitment, continual commitment, and normative commitment have significant positive relationship with academic performance (emotional commitment: β=.258, p-value= 0.000; continual commitment: β= .137, p-value= 0.020; normative commitment: β= .056, p-value= 0.044). The results of this study will form the framework for policy making on the issue of organizational commitment and academic performance.
The article discusses the importance of employee engagement for organizational
and business performance through the prism of ergonomics. The issues that are
discussed in this paper comprise the modest contribution that ergonomics as a
discipline has made. The relevance of workplace health and ergonomics work relate
with that of participation, safety culture and further implications for participatory
ergonomics approaches. Based on recently published conceptual framework that
recognises the dynamic and multi-dimensional nature of safety culture, the paper
highlights the due significance demanded by ergonomics and that which is equally
ignored by top management. The paper concludes by considering the much needed
empirical survey on this issue in almost all industries and prompt action being taken
to implement it. Also, the paper gives a glimpse of various approaches for an
empirical study, within an organisation which is noted as important to the success of
ergonomics projects
Workforce engagement: What it is, what drives it, and why it matters for orga...Andrea Kropp
Based on a review of the history of the employee engagement construct and its measurement, we define workforce engagement as the aggregate of the work engagement experiences of individual employees in an organization. In contrast to most research on employee engagement, we study
companies rather than individuals and the companies represent a diverse set of industries. We hypothesize and demonstrate on a sample of (up to) 102 publicly traded companies that
workforce engagement significantly predicts organizational financial (adjusting for industry: Return on Assets, Net Margin but not Tobin's q) and customer metrics (the American Customer Satisfaction Index and the Harris Reputation Quotient) 1 and 2 years after the workforce engagement
data were collected. In addition, using a split‐sample approach to avoid method bias, we hypothesize and show that (a) company organizational practices (the strongest correlate),
supervisory support, and work attributes are significant correlates of workforce engagement and (b) that workforce engagement mediates the relationship between these correlates of engagement and the organizational performance metrics. Implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed.
AN ANALYSIS OF WORKPLACE ENTERTAINMENT AMONG COLLEGE TEACHERS ON WORK ENGAGEMENTIAEME Publication
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of workplace entertainment on work engagement among college teachers.

The major findings were workplace entertainment have both positive and negative effect on the work engagement of college teachers. Socialising with co-workers and Personal freedom at work have positive effect on factors like cognitive, emotional and social work engagement while celebration at work has positive effect on emotional work engagement and negative effect on cognitive and social work engagement of teachers. Authorities of colleges are major beneficiary of findings of this study. They will get a clear picture about the current pulse of workers regarding the effects of workplace entertainment on work engagement experienced by the college teachers.
An empirical review of Motivation as a Constituent to Employees' Retentioninventy
This study investigated the link between motivation and retention and the effect of motivation on retention at different organisational levels. The research linked motivation and high job satisfaction to explore strategies that help in employees' retention and why public sector employees leave with particular reference to Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Owerri. This was achieved by collecting primary data from Federal Medical Centre (FMC) on non-clinical staff/employees (managers and non-managers and secondary data from published materials and the hospital's human resources (HR) data. The findings were tested using employee motivational attributes to prove that motivation plays a crucial role in enhancing employee retention. Motivation was found to be a core factor that determines the level of employee retention among managers and non-managers within the case study organisation. Specifically, it was found out that employees tend to be motivated if they are subjected to performance-based compensation, recognition for good work, and encouraged to pursue individually fulfilling tasks.

Investigating the influence of service training reward system and empowerment...csandit
The current study focuses on the investigation of the relationship between variables training,
reward, empowerment and job satisfaction of the employees and the influence of job satisfaction
on the organizational commitment. In so doing, the relationship between super pattern variables
was considered on the basis of some theoretical principles. This is a correlative study in which
the path analysis model is used, because it is possible to investigate direct and indirect paths
through such model. Population included all employees of Ilam’s telecommunications company
among whom 190 ones were selected as the sample by use of randomized sampling model. Data
was gathered using five standard questionnaires. The reliability and admissibility of the
questionnaires was evaluated by use of Coronbach’s and explorative factor analysis. In order
to test the available pattern, the path analysis technique was used. Results show that there is a
meaningful relationship between the above mentioned variables.

The study has been initiated to unfold the conceptual reality of a commonly used terminology in organization behavior study- employee engagement. The engagement of employees towards an organization is determined by their affective, cognitive and behavioural attributes which are in turn linked with various internal and external factors. These factors are identified and presented in various models with specific focus areas. The employee engagement index, the measuring indicator, is a reflection of multiple self-determining factors. This study unveiled the factors while analyzing the annual reports for FY 2018-19 of NIFTY 50 companies. The key focus areas have been identified and an all-encompassing 7-Dimensional model has been proposed to determine the objective-oriented factors to prepare relevant questionnaires for ascertaining Employee Engagement Index.

Organizations as government agencies that provide services to the community are required to improve
performance that leads to environmental preservation in the workplace. So that the behavior of employees who
care about the environment (green), their involvement in creating a green environment (green work
engagement), and performance as an impact of green behavior is very interesting to study more deeply in
quantitative research
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of financial distress, rewards and company performance using return on assets (ROA), managerial ownership, ownership concentration, directors' composition and leverage on directors' remuneration with company size, leverage and company age as control variables. The study population comprised manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sector listed on the ASEAN state stock exchange. The study used a purposive sampling method. The sample number consisted of 68 manufacturing companies. The data used are secondary data obtained from ASEAN state stock exchanges. Data analysis used multiple linear regression. The results indicate that ROA, managerial ownership, ownership concentration, firm size and leverage have a significant effect on directors' remuneration, while financial distress, reward, company age and state have no significant effect on directors' remuneration. The implications of study mean that boards of directors can conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the directors' remuneration system by establishing a team that has the authority to provide input and formulation of a remuneration system that meets the principle of fairness.
Banking and Government Sectors in North Nigeria: A Comparative Study on Work ...inventionjournals
Introduction and Purpose: The research at hand explores employee motivation in Nigerian context with banking and government sectors as the backdrop. Contemporary organizations have put much emphasis to understand the dynamics of job performance, the impact of intrinsic rewards and training on employees and the intertwined relationship they have with motivation, which the present study tries to explain. This is specially so because a happy and motivated worker is an efficient performer. Methodology: Set in North Eastern part of Nigeria a sample size of 146 employees which included 88 from government organizations and 58 from private banking sector were taken up for the study through nonprobability convenience sampling method. The data collection instrument gathered the demographic profile of the respondents while information for other above mentioned variables was drawn together through different Likert type scales employed in earlier researches. Cronbach’s Alpha values were put to confirm the validity of the instrument, moreover Pearson Correlations, Pearson Chi Square Test, One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Levene Statistics, Games-Howell Test, Simple Means, Standard Deviation and Percentages were additional data analysis tools. Findings: The comparative analysis of bank and government employees vis-à-vis variables tested gave out findings which were similar as well as different for these two sectors. Government employees were found to be more motivated, having positive views on intrinsic rewards and training that they received, which was in sharp contrast to banking professionals. Despite being less motivated bankers nonetheless were better performing job wise than their government sector counterparts. Age and income also had affect on the above mentioned independent variables for the employees surveyed. Originality, Limitation and Implication: The novelty aspect of the study is sustained right from the initial research on the topic, continuing with theory level/conceptual framework, literature review to findings. Despite the research having resource crunch is unique in the manner that no such work in has been carried out in North Eastern part of Nigeria, the area which is vastly uncharted. The study is likely to fuel academic and scholarly pursuits in future studies which are similar in nature, it can be a guiding light to human resource practitioners in the corporate world as well as researchers in the field of management.

HRM AND SMALL-FIRM EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION:
BEFORE AND AFTER THE GREAT RECESSION
ALEX BRYSON AND MICHAEL WHITE*
A long-running debate in the small-firms’ literature questions the
value of formal human resource management (HRM) practices,
which have been linked to high performance in larger firms. The
authors contribute to this literature by exploiting linked employer–
employee surveys for 2004 and 2011. Using employees’ intrinsic job
satisfaction and organizational commitment as motivational out-
comes, the authors find the returns to small-firm investments in
HRM are U-shaped. Small firms benefit from intrinsically motivating
work situations in the absence of HRM practices and find this advan-
tage disturbed when formal HRM practices are initially introduced.
Firms can restore positive motivation when they invest intensively in
HRM practices in a way that characterizes high performance work
systems (HWPS). Although the HPWS effect on employee motiva-
tion is modified somewhat by the Great Recession, it remains robust
and continues to have positive promise for small firms.
For more than two decades, there has been interest within the humanresource management (HRM) practitioner and research community in
systems of practice that form a cohesive and integrated set designed to max-
imize business effectiveness and employee well-being. These systems are
commonly termed high performance work systems (HPWS), or strategic
human resource management (SHRM), whereby the HRM systems are
tuned to harmonize with business strategic objectives. This system or strate-
gic perspective distinguishes between HRM practices adopted by a firm in a

IMPACT OF PATERNALISTIC LEADERSHIP ON EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT AND INNOVATIVE WOR...MehranMouzam
1. Description of Research Work
Innovation is a key concern of HR now a days. It is the key requirement for organizational success (Akram,
Lei, Haider, & Hussain, 2018). It gives new ways to do work, to overcome situations, to solve problems
and to make decisions. Dedahanov et al. (2019) claims that PLB and EE promotes innovative work
behaviour of employees. This positive impact can be enhanced by I-deals that are now trending in
manipulating job behaviours of employees. Recent studies conducted by Microsoft Japan on a four-day
working week claims that, not only the employees became happier and satisfied, they became productive
at workplace. These shortened working weeks and flexibility made employees more efficient and
productive at workplace (Paul, 2019). Leadership styles are now playing major roles in organizations and
are proved to be crucial factors for their success. PLB is a practical approach to get maximum out of
employees. According to Hornung, Rouseau, Glaser, Angerer, and Weigh (2011), loyalty and commitment
of employees are major outcomes of PLB. When employees are committed at workplace, their performance
boost ups which ultimately effects the organizational performance positively. This study is conducted to
observe and to describe the role of PLB on employee’s commitment level and how I-deals can mediate this
relationship in pharmaceutical sector. According to PPMA (2017), Pakistan’s pharmaceutical industry is
progressive, vibrant and future oriented. It consists of more than 700 manufacturing units, having 25-
multinational pharmaceutical units working in country. 70% of country’s demand of finished medicines is
been met by this sector and have shown a remarkable growth over last ten years and has export turnover of
more than 12 million and accounts for less than one percent of country’s GDP. To observe this productive
phenomenon of PLB, I-deals, EE, IWB and commitment in such a fast-growing sector can help to develop
positive outcomes for them.
THE MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB CRAFTING ON THE EFFECT OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Showing potential will be easier if employees feel attached to the organization, therefore
support from the organization is needed. The Job Demand-Resources (JD-R) theory is the theory most often
used to explain work engagement. This study aims to analyze the mediating role of job crafting on perceived
organizational support for work engagement. This study was carried out at the Klungkung District Agriculture
Office. The total population and sample used were 147 employees, using the saturated sample method where all
of the population was sampled. Data collection was obtained by distributing questionnaires. In this study, the
inferential statistics used were Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis based on Partial Least Square
(PLS). The results show that perceived organizational support has a positive effect on job crafting and work
engagement, job crafting has a positive effect on work engagement and can mediate partially (complementary
partial mediation) on the effect of perceived organizational support on work engagement. The results of the
study can be concluded that the stronger the perceived organizational support, the higher the job crafting which
results in increased work engagement. Superiors at the Agriculture Office are expected to provide equal
opportunities and opportunities to every employee so that employees feel that there is justice which will make
employees develop their abilities by doing job crafting and increasing a sense of attachment to the organization.

HR Bundles for Effective Work Life Balance: An Empirical Studyscmsnoida5
Work Life Balance (WLB) is one of the most
important issues at workplace in today’s
competitive business environment. A large
number of studies have been carried out on WLB
in the human resource and other academic fields.
Most of the studies find major factors related to
the work life balance. This paper, however tries
to find the HR bundles related to various factors
of WLB. The bundles basically club the major
items affecting WLB under limited number
of broad constructs. This study basically works
on the variables related to Job Motivation,
Organizational Culture, Flexi Workings, and
Work Culture etc. For the purpose of this study
data has been collected from 125 IT professionals
from Delhi-NCR. The sampling method is
judgmental sampling where only those employees
have been selected that are married and have at
least one child. Factor analysis and Descriptive
have been used for data analysis. The paper
significantly contributes in the literature by establishing relationship between HR bundles
and Work Life Balance. Further, the study
also finds and elaborates the reasons why these
variables have come up the most important and
bundled together under one broad construct.

Introduction
In present business environment organizations are concerned to achieve and accelerate
one of the most important advantages and that is Human Resource (HR). HR is regardedas the
most valuable assets of a firm. But very few firms can utilize its full potentiality (Ahmed &
Schroeder 2002).
Though organizational success depends upon many reasons but HR is the most
importantmatter which directly influence the overall performance of an organization.
Organization can attain the goal without any obstacle if it is run with a satisfied
workforce.Therefore the management of HR undergoes with different practices focusing on
maximum utilization and proper management of their human resources to achieve optimum
output and distinct competitive advantage (Price 2004).
According to the study of Hansson(2007) the system of training is mainly determined
by some of the specific factor of a company and the practice of Human resource management
is one of those factors. Incidence of training and intensity of training are also determined by
various reasons. The profit of a firm is related with the investment of the firm in the intensity
of training. And the suggestion is that the economic output of training is more significant than
employee turnover cost.
For maintaining competitive advantage and achieving the ultimate vision of the
organization it is very much importantthat the practice of HRM has agreat significance. HRM
practices are related to a set of policies andmechanism which uplift an organization’s human
capital and contribute in the achievement of expected business objectives (Gurbuz 2009).
Studies (Price 2004; Gurbuz 2009; and Syed & Yah 2012) havegiven evidence
thatproper use of Human resourcemanagement practices are significant to accomplish both
long term and short term objectives of an organization.
HRM practices relateinvestment of organization in individual employees’ training,
participation, decision making, promotion and the reward acknowledgement and open
communication for building satisfactory image among employees towards their job (Meyer &
Allen 1997; Denaley & Huselid 1996). Orientation Training familiarise new employees with
various aspects of an organization. As for example organizational procedure, social behaviour,
health and safety, and task responsibility.
4. 4
Theoretical argumentmainly establishes a relative relationship between initial training and the
work related attitudes of employees and behaviour but empirical support is not
satisfactory.Most of the evaluation studies of job training reflect on the impact of training
program over the pecuniary work place out comes, such as productivity earning and the
turnover (Tabvuma et al 2015).
In an observation it is remarked that Job training and other high performance work
procedures have a statistically significant impact on reducing employee turnover and
productivity and a long term effect on organizational performance (Huselid 1995).
Delany and Huselid (1996) observe a positiverelation between HRM practice including
job training and stuff selection and positive perceptions of organizational performance.
Studies placing emphasis on non-pecuniary work place outcome shows that job training
gives a positive image on employees’ job satisfaction and the commitment to the organizational
(Santos and Stuart 2003; Geogellis and Lange 2007; Aguinis andKraiger 2009). But some
studies cannot find any statistical significant relation between provided training and the job
satisfaction (Shore and Brakesdale1998).
Two closely related topic HR practice and job satisfaction are very deeply investigated
by various scholar in the different parts of world (Abser et al 2012). According to Ting (1997)
HR practice and job satisfaction are very closely related with each other.
Many scholars give positive idea that healthy HR practice brings a better level of job
satisfaction and consequently it improves organizational performance(Applebaum et al 2000).
Gould and William (2003) present their view that utilization of some specific HR practice in
UK local government organization reflect in better jobsatisfaction, trust in workplace, effort,
commitment and organizational performance.
The competitive advantage search in future is likely to be major challenging for
organization. And it is argued that through the utilization of valuable, scarce and inimitable
resources this challenge can be met by an organization (Barney 1995).
5. 5
Human capital and performance
The development of human capital and organizational performance have positive
relation. Moreover the emphasis on human capital in organization shows that market value
depends less on tangible resources other than on intangible resources and especially on human
resources.The link between human capital and organizational performance is positive.
Intellectual capital is one of the two categories on tangible assets of a company. Wright
et al (2001) argue that intellectual capital is an indicator that influences human capital, social
capital and organizational capital.
The research of Nahapiet&Ghosal (1998) shows that intellectual capital relates with the
knowledge and knowing capability of a social collectively professional practice and intellectual
community (1998). Intellectual capital is embedded in both in people and system. Human
capital consists of human social and organizational mood (Wright et al 2001)
According to the view of Nahapiet&Ghosal(1998) the central view of social capital
theory is the relationship with social affairs and mutual acquaintance. The same researcher also
expresses the view that social capital increases the efficiency of activity and helps in
cooperative behaviour(Nahapiet&Ghosal 1998).Social relationship and Social capital
significantly influence the development of human and intellectual capital.
The linking of the resources of an organization together into system is the main role of
organizational capital and it creates value for the customers and well-being of competitive
advantages for the firm (Dess&Picken 1999)
Therefore it has a reasonable ground to investigate this matter of employer provided
training and organizational performance in the comparative study of UK and Bangladesh
professional scenario.
6. 6
Hofstede Cultural Impact
In comparative study of Bangladesh and UK the cultural impact is explored here
through the lens of six dimensional model of Greet Hofstede.
Though in case of two dimension masculinity and long term orientation UK and
Bangladesh relate with each other almost similarly but the gap between power distance,
individualism, uncertainty avoidance and indulgence show some reason to evaluate these two
country in different way.
Figure 1: Table showing Bangladesh and UK cultural comparison (Greet Hofstede)
The high score of Bangladesh in power distance shows uneven equality of people in
society and organization and the hierarchy system may affect in responsibility and performance
in society as well as organization. But in case of UK it acts as an equal phenomenon.
In case of Individualism the low score of Bangladesh and high score of UK present a
collectivist and individualist society respectively in these two countries and may affectin the
commitment to organization and that may reflect on the performance.
Another dimension draws the concern in national culture of these two countries and
that is uncertainty avoidance. In this dimension Bangladesh scores almost double of UK score
and that may diverse two countries society about the view on future- in case of Bangladesh it
is more likely to unknown than to be perceived in UK. And that may have cause to influence
in employees’ overall gain and activity regarding the performance of organization.
7. 7
UK Context
One of the key task for organization is the effective management of human resources.
This present challenge are going to be faced by both organization and nation of UK to compete
the world market and for searching the incensement of productivity by encouraging the
spreading of high performance.
The research of Guest et al(2003)gives a view of the relation between human resources
management(HRM) and the performance of corporate body in the business environmentof UK
firms. This study features in the comparison of various business objective as well as subjective
measures.
Guest et al (2003) suggest that since there is an association between the greater
utilization of human resource practices and some measures of corporate performance but there
is not much convincing evidence that the use of HR practices is associated with a change in
organizational performance.
This study shows that thereis reason based on the estimates of overall productivity and
organization financial performance and of a positive relation between proper use of HR
practices and the better performance but in contrary view to the other measures of objectivity
the association is more with productivity than with organization’s financial performance.
In the study of Guest et al(2003) it was examined to investigate the relationship between
HRM and organizational performance for a limited sample of UK organizations working in
manufacturing and service sector. The outcomes are very mixed and the balance goes down to
the negativity.
The test of association reflects that there is a positive relationin the use of more HR
practices and it gives lower turnover with higher profit but it doesn’t show relation between
HR and firm’s productivity. And the investigationin relation between the uses of more HR
practices gives a resultof change in performance that reflectsnon-significant in UK.
In another research conducted by Storey (2004)it has been shown that in case of
providing formal training to the employees and managers, small organizations are much less
8. 8
likely than large organizations. In comparison with five OECD country USA, Germany, Japan
Canada and Finland with UK the relation between management training of small firm is
ambiguous.
According Storey (2004), when the views of trainees are remarked, at that time public
programmes are appeared as well received. But econometric method relating training
participation on small firm performance shows week result. It means that little output of formal
management training is informed decision on small firm’s managers. It implies that the
increasing of formal small firm training for broadening awareness to the benefits of training is
misguided and that may not be denied.
In the comparative view with five OECD countries and UK it is observed that formal
management programs of small firms are found in all countries but the result depends upon the
public domain (Storey 2004).
Bangladesh Context
HRM practices are mainly related for developing and allocating human capital with a
view to providing good environment and more benefits to achieve long term output fora firm
(Bogdanova et al 2008). Many research were done(Price 2004; Syed & Yah 2012; Javed et al
2012 and Igbal, Malik &Ghafoor 2013) on the reflect of HRM practices for job satisfaction of
employees in the ground of developing as well as developed countries and only a few of those
research investigated on the relative sectors of Bangladesh regarding training and performance
and an example taken here from the banking sector. Similarly with the most of former research
on employees’ job satisfaction, this very research also brings the notable relation between
employees’ job satisfaction and firm’s HRM practices.
There are six practice of HRM as follows that training and development, recruitment
and selection, salary and benefits, and reward are the prominent indicators that affects
employees’ job satisfaction and in broad perspective it impacts on the organizational
performance in the banking sector of Bangladesh. But the security of job andthe role of
supervision did not impact on job satisfaction. With this view it was argued that the banking
sector of Bangladesh should provide essential financial allocation to influence on practices of
job security and role of supervision.
9. 9
In the research of Javed et al (2012) done over the public bank of Pakistan shows that
recognition to employees and providing training are more significant than reward, though the
measure was to search the significance of reward, training and recognition.
Another investigation by Mojumder (2012) reflects very significantly on HRM
practices along with job satisfaction of employees’ in Bangladesh private banking sectors. And
the result was that the major number of employees were not satisfied with the package of
compensation following career growth,training and development, rewarding and employee
motivation, jobdesign, responsibility and organizational procedure.
In an another study on job satisfaction by Jeet&Sayeeduzzafar(2014 cited by Ahmed
2015) among the Indian Private Bank Employees shows that training, team work, performance
appraisal as well as financial benefit have important influence on the satisfaction of job but
participation does not givereliable evidence on job satisfaction among the employees.
On other study of Abser et al (2012) regarding result of HR practices on job satisfaction
in Bangladeshi context it was found that HR practices have very significant relation with job
satisfaction. Moreover training and development, human resource planning have positive
impact on job satisfaction. It is observed that training and development has the greatest
significance on job satisfaction.
Comparative Analysis
In this review of literature the mainconcern was to find the relation of employer
provided trainingand organizational performance in two country- Bangladesh and UK
analysing the valuable observation from the study conducted in related field. Training is very
important and perhaps the most significant part of human resource management which is dealt
by the organization in different ways at various time, place and manner.
The study of Guest et al (2003) and Storey (2004) in UK and the study of Ahmed (2015)
and Abser et al (2012)in Bangladesh present some inner view on these two countries and those
study give us an insight view for reviewing the difference and similarity though there might be
some difference in sample selection and research objective.
Observing theideas related to the employer provided training and organizational
performance it is remarked that training enhances the satisfaction of job among the employees
and casually it reflectsupon the overall performance of a firm. Inthe sense of human capital
10. 10
theory it also can be assumed that training bring a development in intellectual capital, social
capital and organizational capital of an organization that may add some value in individual and
organizational performance.
The cultural theory indicates some difference between the UK and Bangladesh
respectively of Europe and Asia as well as developed and developing nation. That may be the
reason behind that in UK along with some OECD countries training impacts very few positive
image on organizational performance. But in case of Bangladesh training almost give some
sorts of job satisfaction among the employees and that may reflect positively in organizational
performance.
Conclusion
In the concluding part it may be discussed with the question is that- why the employer
provided training is not bringing expected level of positive impact especially in UK. The reason
behind it, that may be the society is individualistic, people enjoy the social right almost equally,
they may not feel that they will work in a same organization for life long, and they may not be
worried about tomorrow for their job security. Employees may run for self-acceleration and
gain as result the affection to the organization may not create and long term bondage.
Moreover the unemployment rate is not as much as the Asian region. So they know that
the versatile experience in numerous organization may secure their opportunity to get other
jobs in future. And that may let them tobe a bit reluctant to the future commitment and
engagement to the organization they serve in present days.
On the other hand the firms may also know that very few employees will be working
for a long period in the same organization and that’s why there may not be strong reason to
train the employees for future. Therefore it may not bring so much expected benefit to the
organization inspite of offering or conducting employer provided training to the employees of
an organization.
Now it comes to the matter of Bangladesh that why employer provided trading usually
bring some expected positive colour in an organizational performance. With the above study it
is observed that Bangladesh lies in the developing region of South Asia along with India and
Pakistan. Here the unemployment rate is higher than the UK. That may be a vital reason in case
of employeeperspective.As a result the employees may try their best to keep themselves up to
11. 11
date with employer provided training and other sorts of intellectual capital enrichment. They
may not wish to lose their job in a competitive job market.
The culture is collective so they may get the reflection of their personal development
in the development of organization. They may try to avoid the uncertain feature to keep them
stable in a job doing for long time customizing their position through self-development of
training and other related procedure. In this society there is observed power distance that may
define inequality between the several hierarchallevels of organization.
On the other hand the organization in this developing countries may give importance to
create human capital to sustain in a challenging environment where there are some
opportunities for new investment and growing of new firm as because of the demand of
developing market. And this nature may also be observed in cases of India and Pakistan as it
is observed in studies. Therefore it is assumed that in Bangladesh the employer provided
training may have positive reasons for better performance of organization.
This study might have some limitation in selecting case study and reference between
UK and Bangladesh as the sectors are bit different and that gives a scope toinvestigate to dig
into dip for more evidential analysis on employer provide training and organizational
performance.After all these two countries of eight thousand kilometre distance stand on
different socio-politico-economical and anthropological background,lying on the coast of
Indian and Atlantic ocean and their difference in man, mind and society is inevitable.
Recommendation
Form the above study it is observed that employer provided training may not so
positively impact uponthe performance of employees as well as organization. And this view
comes out from the studies referred in this literature. Therefore it may be recommended in case
of UK firm that the firm should give importance in employees’ individual demand such as
financial other social benefits.
On the other hand in case of Bangladesh since it is observed that employer provided
training reflects positively upon the performance of employees as well as organization.
Therefore here on the part of Bangladesh it may be recommended that firms should pay
attention upon the development of employees providing the training and other related
advantages.
