PurposeUsing the theoretical lens of the behavioural perspective on HRM, this study examined a mediated model to understand the extent to which organisational factors such as supportive human resource management policies and practices (SHRPP) and organisational climate (OC) can influence the affective attitudes of HR managers towards promoting women into organisational leadership roles. Survey data collected from 182 human resource managers in Bangladesh were analysed using partial least squares–based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and the PROCESS macro to test mediating effects. The results reveal that the adoption of SHRPP is positively associated with OC, which in turn shapes the attitudes of HR managers leading to implementing unbiased promotional practices for organisational leadership roles.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative survey data collected from 182 human resource managers in Bangladesh were analysed using PLS-SEM and PROCESS macro.FindingsThe results reveal that the adoption of SHRPP is positively associated with OC which in turn shapes the attitudes of HR managers leading to implementing unbiased promotional practices for organisational leadership roles.Research limitations/implicationsSelf-report, cross-sectional survey data may contribute to the methodological bias such as common method bias (CMB). Harman's single-factor test revealed that no single component explained a major portion of the total variance. Furthermore, partial correlational analysis using a marker variable coupled with an assessment of social desirability indicates that common method variance is unlikely to have any CMB risks to the validity of the study results.Practical implicationsFrom a practical point of view, the findings of this study suggest that supportive HR practices may create a positive organisational climate that leads to creating a healthy work environment ensuring an equal opportunity for everyone to grow and excel irrespective of their socio-cultural backgrounds and gender identity; thus, facilitating the organisation to take advantage of creativity and innovation offered by their talents, a critical factor for the organisation to survive and flourish in the dynamic market.Social implicationsThe study findings provide insights into why organisations should adopt fair and transparent HR policies to create a congenial work climate impacting on positive social attitudes towards acceptance of a gender-balanced empowered society.Originality/valueTo the best of author's knowledge, this is the first study that examined a mediated model to understand how organisational factors such as SHRPP and OC can impact on the affective attitudes of HR managers towards promoting women in the organisational leadership roles.

The purpose of this research project is to explore if traditional explanations of organizational and professional commitment and conflict, which have been developed through research of older and more established professions such as the Accounting profession, also apply to the Human Resource profession. Survey data gathered from HR practitioners are used to examine the correlates of organizational and professional commitment and conflict. Study results indicate the models explain a significant portion of the variation in both organizational and professional commitment, and that the two types of commitment have different antecedent factors. Results also indicate that organizational and professional conflict is lowest when both levels of organizational and professional commitment are high. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Purpose This paper aims to review how millennials, since coming into the workforce in 2004, have faired in several countries worldwide. After a synopsis of how the group is characterized in each country surveyed, suggestions are provided to human resource (HR) directors on how to further manage and motivate this employee sector. Design/methodology/approach The paper opted for document review of research from past 15 years on this sector of the workforce to contrast and compare how these workers had progressed (or not) depending on the areas of the globe in which they reside. Findings The paper provides practical insights on possible ways and means to create productivity from these employees. It suggests that successful managers may have to be more creative in their ways to attract and appeal to this group but also be more deliberate in creating effective strategies tailored toward the digital native. Research limitations/implications Because the data in this group are still not voluminous and theories and conclusions on the impact they have made continue to vary depending on the circumstance, continued analysis to recognize new trends is suggested. Originality/value This paper suggests updated criteria for HR managers to better evaluate and motivate a growing sector of their workforces.

This paper explores the strategic importance of human resource (HR) planning and the various techniques employed by organizations to attract talent and thus to gain a competitive edge. In this paper, the authors have tried to explore the various biases that come into play when supervisors forecast for human resources. Backed by research, the paper recommends the integration of line managers with HR managers and their participations in strategic planning to enable the HR managers to gain valuable insights for HR planning. The paper further suggests that though biases cannot be ruled out completely but they can be controlled by providing relevant training to the HR and line managers to forecast dynamics. Further, the judgement of the line managers could be complemented with other forecasting techniques to make the process more reliable.

The purpose of the article. The article considers the features of strategic human resource management as the basis of strategic potential, which affects the competitiveness of the enterprise, determines the directions of its development. The scheme of the system of strategic human resources management is presented. The goals of personnel policy and a set of tasks that allow them to be implemented are determined. The ways of realization of the strategy of human resources management at an industrial enterprise are offered. It is established that the process of implementing the strategy of the enterprise should be divided into certain conditional stages, which should be included in the action plan for the implementation of the strategy.Methodology. The strategic goal of human resources management system is to ensure the development of the enterprise through the efficient use of human capital. When forming a human resources management strategy, the main task is to identify and take into account future changes and trends, to justify changes that contribute to the sustainable development of the enterprise.The process of strategy development and implementation is continuous, which is covered in close connection with the solution of strategic tasks both in the long run and in the medium and short term, i.e. their solution in terms of strategic, tactical and operational management. Such specification of human resources management strategy and bringing it to strategic objectives and individual actions is embodied in the strategic plan – a document containing specific tasks and measures to implement the strategy, the timing of their implementation and responsible executors for each task, the amount of resources required.Results. Implementation of human resources management strategy is an important stage of the strategic management process. For it to be successful, the organization's management must adhere to the following rules: firstдн, the goals, strategies, tasks of personnel management must be carefully and timely communicated to all employees of the organization in order to obtain from them not only understanding of the organization and service personnel management, but also informal involvement in the implementation of strategies, in particular, the development of obligations to employees of the organization to implement the strategy; secondдн, the general management of the organization and the heads of personnel management service must not only ensure the timely use of all necessary resources (material, equipment, office equipment, financial, etc.), but also have a plan for implementing the strategy in the form of targeted guidelines for the state and development labor potential and record the achievement of each goal.Practical implications. The process of implementing the strategy of an industrial enterprise requires fundamentally different approaches than the process of strategy formation. First of all, because it is mainly organizational process, while the formation of strategy is mainly an analytical one. The process of implementing the company's strategy can also be divided into certain conditional stages, more precisely, areas of activity that should be included in the action plan to implement the strategy. Initial among them is decomposition, i.e. the development on the basis of a strategic plan of tactical, operational plans, as well as policies, programs, projects, rules and procedures.Value/originality. Thus, the relationship of personnel strategy and general strategy of enterprise development is realized through a mechanism that includes: coordination of goals of both strategies, the relationship of their functions, coordination of business processes of personnel management with other business processes, integration of personnel strategy results to aggregate results of the organization, control of compliance of the obtained results with the defined strategic goals of the organization. Of particular importance is the approach to human resource management as a business process. Personnel processes as a certain sequence of interrelated actions for the implementation of personnel management functions are aimed at: transformation of human assets of the organization in accordance with its strategic priorities; transformation of working conditions of employees of the organization in accordance with the expectations and needs of staff; creation of new management technologies and other HR-products.

This paper focuses on the views of Human Resource (HR) managers about the implementation of work life balance (WLB) initiatives. Increasingly, WLB has become an important part of employment relations discussion and knowledge. The literature presents two key themes in terms of how this is implemented in practice. Firstly there was a corporate theme, where WLB is developed and applied from within the organisation. In the second theme WLB is developed and applied in tripartite partnership. The literature showed the New Zealand (NZ) experience is confused as to which path it is following. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore the views of HR managers in NZ government funded tertiary institutions about the implementation of WLB practices. The research involved 3 in-depth, semi-structured interviews, which were then transcribed, analysed and compared until stable categories emerged. The findings reflected the confusion found in the literature. Approaches and knowledge of WLB were standardised and essentially uniform; there was much pride and satisfaction in achievements, both individual and corporately: and despite being government funded, the organisations reflected a corporatist theme in their approach to WLB. In summary, regardless of the rhetoric of WLB as positive to workers regaining balance in their lives, the research showed in practice it was 'a wolf in sheep's clothing' -- more beneficial for the organisations in terms of increasing worker productivity, than for the workers.
