Healthcare Professionals' Work Motivation in Crisis Settings
Studies on Indian healthcare professionals during the COVID‐19 pandemic have documented that they experienced an increase in workloads and stress, physical and mental burdens, and anxiety about contracting COVID‐19. However, the question of what motivated them to keep working despite those difficult conditions remains unanswered. Against this background, we conducted the current investigation to explore the work motivation of healthcare professio…
Red-Wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus)
An intensive survey was carried out over the past 8 years in tribal-dominated areas of southwestern Rajasthan to document red-wattled lapwing ( Vanellus indicus ) behavior as a rain forecaster, relevant to farm planning and better crop production. The present study included tribal farmers, agriculture scientists, extension workers, ornithologists, and farm workers. The precision of their observations was compared with a contemporaneous study of 1…
Ethnic Minorities in Hong Kong
Diversity management is increasingly important as economies globalize, and workforce compositions diversify. However, with the diversification of workforce comes the necessity to best manage this phenomenon such that minority contributions are valued and organizational production increases. This study aims to empirically test Olsen and Martins’s proposed theoretical framework on diversity management, using a small sample of ethnic minority and et…
Experiences of working women in India under family-friendly policies
Achieving work-life balance is one of the major challenges faced by women around the world. This study adopts a qualitative approach to examine professional women's perspectives on their work situations and family-friendly policies, taking India as an example. The goal is to explore and explain some of the major issues confronting Indian working women when they try to balance their work and family life. As women are the traditional homemakers in …
Family-Friendly Policies
The need for family-friendly policies to balance work and life demands is growing. Many studies have addressed how family-friendly policies relate to a variety of employees' work attitudes and behavioral outcomes, but not how they (positively or negatively) affect them, especially the affective components of family-friendly policies that provide "felt" support to an employee. To fill this gap, this study adopts a moderated mediating mechanism to …
New normal” at work in a post-Covid world
The coronavirus pandemic has interrupted labor markets, triggering massive and instant series of experimentations with flexible work arrangements, and new relationships to centralized working environments. These approaches have laid the basis for the “new normal,” likely extending into the organization of work in the post-pandemic era. These new arrangements, especially flexible work arrangements, have challenged traditional relationships with em…
Anti-Corruption Policy
This paper examines the different styles of anti-corruption strategy, particularly at the local level in China and India. In China there has been a central push with a role of anti-corruption agencies that have law-enforcement power. In India there has been a focus on institutional building together with a visible role of the civil society. China has had a top-down approach while India has more of a bottom-up approach combined with top-down initi…
The impact of working from home during Covid-19 on work and life domains
The pandemic sweeping the world, COVID-19, has rendered a large proportion of the workforce unable to commute to work, as to mitigate the spread of the virus. This has resulted in both employers and employees seeking alternative work arrangements, especially in a fast-paced metropolitan like Hong Kong. Due to the pandemic, most if not all workers experienced work from home (WFH). Hence WFH has become a policy priority for most governments. In doi…
Crosscultural transitions in a bilingual context
As a regional hub for education, Hong Kong has seen a growing population of international students. In contrast to existing conceptual models in acculturation literature that are typically devoted to studying long-term settlers such as migrants or refugees in English speaking countries, this study develops and tests a fine-grained model for degree-seeking mobile students in East Asia. A mixed-method study was conducted: a survey of 619 internatio…
Public sector innovation, e-government, and anticorruption in China and India
Both China and India are adopting information and communication technologies to facilitate openness and transparency in their governments, and hence reduce corruption. Distinctive from their traditional anticorruption approaches, is the innovative e-government approach an effective solution to corruption in these two large developing countries? This paper addresses the question through comparative in-depth interviews with 44 mid- or senior-level …
The policies, practices and predicaments of senior employment in Hong Kong and Singapore
The ageing of populations is an unprecedented worldwide phenomenon that has created anxiety about labour and skill shortages in many developed countries. One way to address these concerns is to extend the working lives of seniors through appropriate retirement, retention and recruitment policies. This paper utilises official policy documentation and employment data to compare the policies, practices and predicaments of senior employment in Hong K…
Welcoming Immigrants with Similar Occupational Interests
Recent studies in America and Europe suggest that individual economic self-interest plays little role in explaining individual attitudes towards immigrants. A key piece of evidence for this proposition is that natives do not show particular hostility towards immigrants whose skill levels are similar to their own. We conducted an experimental survey of Hong Kong residents to examine their attitudes towards immigrants from Mainland China. We found …
Human resource management (HRM) outsourcing in the Asian public sector – a probe into the achievability and consequences in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Thailand
Under the ideology of ‘small government, big individual’, outsourcing of public service functions is gaining momentum, particularly when it comes to certain professional areas such as human resource management (HRM). Upper tiers of the public service and managerial functions have largely been immune to outsourcing. The present studies on outsourcing are extensive, but are largely western-centric, and qualitative or quantitative in nature. This st…
Convergence or divergence? Trainees’ and trainers’ perceptions of the customization and effectiveness of public service training
In many parts of the world, central training agencies have played an important role in formulating training policies. However, due to public management reforms, training in the public sector has been customized and effectiveness emphasized. The drivers for such changes can generally be categorized into individual and institutional levels. Trainers and trainees, as opposite ends of the training programme, should normatively hold different views on…
The protruding implications of privatization
Privatization has become a worldwide trend in public management for reducing the burden on public bureaucracies, ameliorating the fiscal deficits and contributing towards efficiency in service provision. Though the intention of the government carries attractive potentials, it results in unpleasant consequences. Like many governments worldwide, the Hong Kong government has followed this path too. A focus on the privatization launched by Hong Kong …
Frazzled care for social workers in Hong Kong
The meaning and nature of work has undergone significant change across the world, making job related stress a routine part of employment for many people. Social workers who are charged with the task of easing the chaotic lives of service users can also be subject to considerable job stress which adversely affects their personal lives. The current research identifies the stressors experienced by social workers serving in an NGO and also considers …
