It is needed to know what aspects have changed over time to bridge the employee's expectations. In this paper, different factors of motivation have been analyzed. It has been attempted to discover the innovative techniques of motivation to retain the talent and offer some suggestions to lower the attrition rates of the ground staff of airlines at Lucknow Airport.

Corporate governance and firm value: Evidence from lodging companies

This study examined the relationships and interactions between corporate governance and firm values of lodging companies with different characteristics. The companies were analyzed separately using a classification and regression tree (CRT) analysis. The analysis results did not show a direct relationship between value and governance, yet that does not mean there is no relationship between them. When the companies’ governance scores were similar, corporate governance showed no distinguishing variable on firm value but is a hygiene factor. The analysis also found negative relationships between value and size. This may be important in preventing companies from becoming cumbersome. Also, positive relationships were found between value and the debt ratio of the lodging companies from the most valuable brands. This relationship showed the significance of using the debt ratio as a control tool in evaluating management performance.

Job Satisfaction of Basic Education Teachers in Southeast Asia: Key Issues and Policy Recommendations

This article is taken from the research study, “Job Satisfaction of Basic Education Teachers in Southeast Asia”, a collaborative endeavor among SEAMEO (Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization) Centers. It presents the key issues affecting the level of job satisfaction among basic education teachers in Southeast Asia and provides policy recommendations to increase teacher job satisfaction and motivation. The study employs Herzberg’s Dual Factor Theory of Motivation: Hygiene factor and motivator factor; online survey, group discussion and forum are instruments used to gather data. Analysis of responses has demonstrated that the sources of job dissatisfaction are found to be both hygiene factor and motivator factor. The top three sources of job dissatisfaction are (1) job security (salary, chances to be reclassified/ promoted/ transferred to better school, appreciation and rewards, benefits, and overall job security); (2) work environment (accessibility of textbooks, supplies, equipment, copy machine, and others, supervisor assisting teacher to improve instruction, working conditions e.g., lighting, ventilation, working space, dormitory, and others, working relationships among peers, and student’s behavior), and (3) job responsibility (workloads e.g., teaching, administrative, and paper works, instructional materials used in the school, teaching assignment relative to specialization, teacher’s autonomy to improve teaching, and grade level curriculum). Significantly, the results indicate that the greatest source of job dissatisfaction is hygiene factor. Further research on key issues affecting teacher job satisfaction unexplored in this study is necessary.

Is CSR a motivator for socially responsible customers of for-profit social enterprises?

The rise and development of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a very significant and influential dogma in current business practice supports the popularly held view that firms cumulatively enjoy substantial power and control over a vast majority of society’s resources. Such enormous power can be at times detrimental to society in general and as such it is just right that these corporate behemoths police themselves unilaterally and be of good service to the community. The objective of this research is to evaluate the bivalent effects as motivator and hygiene factor of CSR on socially responsible customers towards a for-profit social enterprise. This research also evaluates the significance of CSR towards customer relationship and positive word of mouth among Human Nature customers. Respondents in this study were the customers of an independent distributor of Human Nature products in the Philippines. Findings indicated that CSR wields a significant influence towards customer in enhancing customer relationship and CSR helps in encouraging customers to willingly support and endorse Human Nature products. CSR also exhibits bivalently both characteristics of motivator and hygiene factor in moderating the impact of perceived CSR towards relationship quality and positive word of mouth from customers. Results of this study can be used as a reinforcement to the idea that CSR can and could elicit positive attitude and behavior from customers. Furthermore, results of this study can also be used by scholars in further probing the corporate impact of various individual CSR initiatives instead of CSR itself in its totality.

EFFECT OF ENGAGED WORKFORCE ON JOB PERFORMANCE: STUDY OF FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC, OKO

Managers often think that payment of salary and incentive are all the workers needs to be motivated. However beyond motivation which has been adjudged necessary for productivity, is the matter of workers engagement. This paper titled effect of engaged workforce on job performance: study of federal polytechnic, Oko, focused on examining what engages a worker and the effect of the engaged workforce on job performance. The work is hinged on Herzberg’s Two-Factor theory. The study employed qualitative and quantitative method. The finding shows that both the motivational factors and the “hygiene’ factor needs to be in place to “engage” a worker. Secondly, once the workforce is engaged the management spends less both in human and material resources in supervision and control, while recording optimal performance from the employees. It therefore recommends that managers should invest to engage the workers and save energy in supervision and control and yet achieved organizational objective.

The Influence of Social Media on Employee’s Knowledge Sharing Motivation: A Two-Factor Theory Perspective

This study aims to investigate social media (hygiene factor), motivators (allow employees to share knowledge), and employee’s knowledge sharing motivation (KSM). For this purpose, the author introduces two-factor theory as its research framework to propose research hypotheses and construct the theoretical model. Then the model is tested and validated based on a survey of 278 enterprise employees in China, utilizing structural equation modeling through SPSS statistics and AMOS. It is found that first, the three states of knowledge sharing (lack of motivation, intermediate state, and with motivation) constitute two continuums. The satisfaction of motivators and hygiene factors respectively lead to changes in the state of motivation to share, and second, social media affects the staff’s motivation to share through both a direct and an indirect pathway. Directly, as the hygiene factor, the absence of social media will weaken the staff’s motivation to share. However, its usage doesn’t directly increase employees’ sharing motivation. Indirectly, through the mediating effect of self-efficacy social media can influence knowledge sharing motivation of employees.

Association between Personal Hygiene and Incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis among Workers at Widodaren Plantation in Jember Regency

Soil-Transmitted Helmithiasis is an infection caused by intestinal nematode worms which in the process of transmission requires soil as media to fullfil its life cycle from non-infective forms to infective forms. The number of infections is influenced by personal hygiene. Personal hygiene consists of the habit of washing hands, cutting nails, eating, defecating and ownership of latrines, and the use of personal protective equipment. This study used a cross sectional research design conducted at Widodaren Plantation with 68 people of samples. Stool examination was determined by kato-katz method, sedimentation, and floatation to detect the presence of Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) eggs, while personal hygiene was assessed using questionnaires. Questionnaire and stool examination datas were processed using SPSS data analysis with chi-square method. The results of this study found 26 respondents who were positive for soil-trasmitted helminthiasis infection. The most frequent worm species obtained in this study were Ascaris lumbricoides (57.7%), followed by multiple infections between Hookworm and A. lumbricoides (21.3%), and Hookworm (19.2%). In the chi-square analysis the results were significant between personal hygiene and soil-transmitted helminthiasis with p value of 0,000 (p <0.05). So, it can be concluded that a bad personal hygiene factor has a significant relationship to the incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis at Widodaren Plantation.
