Enhancing employee retention by promoting decent work in a South African financial services institution
Introduction The South African financial services sector currently grapples with employee turnover, as increasingly flexible work arrangements have triggered more casual labor due to indecent work practices including poor compensation and a lack of job security which compromise employee retention. This research aimed to understand how employee retention can be improved in the South African financial services sector by promoting decent work. Metho…
Advancing workplace mental health equity in post-apartheid South Africa
Background Workplace mental health is a global public health priority, yet evidence from African contexts remains limited. This study examined workplace well-being through an intersectional social determinants lens in a South African organisational context to identify equity-relevant disparities and explain the mechanisms producing them. Methods An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative survey data ( n = 87) assess…
Exploring Talent Management in the Era of Diversity and Inclusion within a Manufacturing Company
Extant literature suggests the inability of some organisations to implement effective talent management practices that retain key talent, particularly among women in senior roles, employees living with disabilities and underrepresented racial groups. This research, therefore, explored the challenges and opportunities related to talent management in the context of diversity and inclusion within a manufacturing company in South Africa. The research…
“Reddit’s dark knight”
Introduction: In December 2024, Luigi Mangione was arrested in connection with the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Rather than condemning the accused, large numbers of Reddit users celebrated him as a folk hero. This study examines how that construction emerged and what it reveals about public attitudes towards institutional trust and retributive justice online. Methods: A total of 6,466 comments across 38 threads from 14 subreddi…

Methods: Employing an exploratory, quasi-experimental, explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, we collected quantitative data from 50 South African respondents across three delivery formats (four half-days online, two full-days in classroom, and four half-days in classroom) at pre-training and 3…
Exploring the Representation of Women in Technical Roles at a South African Performing Arts Entity
Low levels of female representation are found when it comes to technical roles within the South African performing arts industry despite improved numbers in the overall representation of females within the industry across different occupational categories. Employment in the core functions of the performing arts entities is therefore still predominantly male. The research aimed to explore the representation of women in a performing arts entity. Th…
Quality of life, anxiety and mindfulness during the prevalence of Covid-19
The findings of the present study indicated that medical students exhibited lower levels of anxiety and higher levels of mindfulness. Therefore, interventions aimed at reducing anxiety and increasing mindfulness among non-medical students are necessary. It is recommended that preventive approaches and psychological interventions to improve students' quality of life become an integral part of crisis response during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additiona…
Governing policies and factors affecting the labor market integration of female accompanying spouses
This study contributes to the literature on labor market integration (LMI) from an underexplored South-to-South standpoint by delving into the experiences of skilled female migrants in the family migration setting. A neglected facet of Michel Foucault's governmentality theory was used to investigate the labor market assimilation needs of female accompanying spouses. The study's qualitative approach renders the findings much less generalizable tha…

The participants (n = 160) were from a large South African higher education institution (HEI). For a measure of talent management practices, the participants completed the Human Capital Index. Work-related outcome measures included the General Happiness Scale (GHS), …
