Workplace bullying and employee outcomes: a moderated mediated model

Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between workplace bullying and employee outcomes in a healthcare setting. Drawing on HR process theory, we investigate the mediating role of the perceived effectiveness of implementation of anti-bullying practices on employee outcomes and whether targeted line manager training was a moderator of that relationship. Our multi-level analysis (utilising responses from 1507 employees within 47 hospitals with matched HR Director interviews), finds that the relationship between workplace bullying and employee outcomes is partially mediated by employees’ perceived effective implementation of intended anti-bully practices. The mediated relationship is moderated by targeted line manager training in anti-bullying practices. The mediated moderation model illustrates that it is effective implementation of anti-bullying practices enhanced by targeted training that is required to reduce bullying probabilities and their associated negative employee outcomes. The paper contributes to resource based view of the firm, HR process and human capital theories. The implications for future research and practice are discussed.     

Easier said than done: a review of antecedents influencing effective HR implementation

Abstract

Despite the importance of effective implementation of HR policies and practices for the achievement of HR outcomes, this remains an area of research to which HR scholars have paid limited attention, without a clear conceptualization of constructs and a lack of consolidation of research findings. Moreover, the field does not avail of an organized corpus of knowledge to guide how to accomplish the successful implementation of HR practices. As a response to this situation, the present study provides a review of empirically grounded evidences about antecedents that can influence effective HR implementation. With the results of the review, we generate a model that organizes the elements identified according to content, context and process, and that proposes relationships among them. The study also delineates much-needed avenues for further research on this topic, and constitutes a first step to claim attention for the phenomenon of HR implementation among HR scholars.

Financial crises and the composition of cross-border lending

We examine the composition and drivers of cross-border bank lending between 1995 and 2012, distinguishing between syndicated and non-syndicated loans. We show that on-balance sheet syndicated loan exposures, which account for almost one third of total cross-border loan exposures, increased during the global financial crisis due to large drawdowns on credit lines extended before the crisis. Our empirical analysis of the drivers of cross-border loan exposures in a large bilateral dataset leads to three main results. First, banks with lower levels of capital favor syndicated over other kinds of cross-border loans. Second, borrower country characteristics such as level of development, economic size, and capital account openness, are less important in driving syndicated than non-syndicated loan activity, suggesting a diversification motive for syndication. Third, information asymmetries between lender and borrower countries became more binding for both types of cross-border lending activity during the recent crisis.     

中小企业人力资源外包SWOT分析及实施对策

人力资源外包作为企业充分整合内外资源、优化资源配置的新型管理模式,能有效的促进企业将有限的人力资源发挥到最大效益。根据SWOT分析法的思想,对中小企业人力资源外包存在的内部优势与劣势、外部机遇与挑战进行了深入的分析。为了保证外包实施的有效性,从外包前准备阶段、外包实施阶段和外包评价与反馈阶段三个方面提出了相应的实施对策。人力资源外包虽然可以为中小企业带来诸多益处,但是其存在的不利影响同样值得注意,为了外包能达到预期的效果,发包企业必须对整个外包过程进行精心规划,每个阶段都有不同的任务,对每个阶段主要任务的分析是提出相应对策的关键。     

中小企业人力资源部门边缘化的现象与本质分析

在人力资源管理日益重要的今天,一些中小企业却出现了人力资源部门边缘化的现象,主要表现为企业不单独设置人力资源部门或部门作用弱化,很少甚至没有专职从事人力资源管理工作的员工。但本文的研究发现,中小企业人力资源部门的边缘化并非人力资源管理地位的边缘化,与此相反,人力资源管理在企业管理中发挥了更为重要的作用。这是企业人力资源管理职能的进一步发展,需要用战略性人力资源管理的新思维。

High‐commitment HR practices,employee effort,and firm performance: Investigating the effects of HR practices across employee groups within professional services firms

In this study, the authors examine the relationship between high‐commitment HR practices and firm performance in professional services firms through the mediator of employee effort. In addition, they contribute to the debate in the field of strategic HRM on whether high‐commitment HR practices should be used across all employee groups within a firm. Their study's results show that high‐commitment HR practices positively relate to firm performance through employee effort for two employee groups within professional services firms. Further, they found that the relationship between effort and performance is contingent on the value of the employee group to firm competitive advantage, suggesting that companies may only want to expend the effort and resources on building a high‐commitment HR system for employee groups that are clearly tied to creating firm competitive advantage. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
