Impact of demographic, economic and organizational factors on employee motivation in plastic industry: an empirical study in Kurunegala district
(University of Peradeniya, 2019) Aloysius,N.M.; Herath,H.M.K.N.B.
INTRODUCTION Within the organizational context, human resource is the most valuable and indispensable factor essential to carry out the organizational functions smoothly, effectively and efficiently (Serasinghe et al., 2016). Employee motivation is one of the important dimensions that managers need to increase effective job management amongst the employees within the organization (Ali and Ahamed, 2009). Motivation as stated by Ran (2009) is the “process that accounts for an individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal”. Literature indicates employees motivation is affected by age, marital status, sex, education as demographic variables (Thomas and Martin, 1979); pay and incentive as economic variables; upward mobility, integration, formal and instrumental communication as organizational variables (Porter and Steers, 1973). Successful manufacturing industry is the key for a sustainable development of a country (Rajala et al., 2016). The Sri Lanka Export Development Board states that plastic processing is a flourishing industry in Sri Lanka for over 45 years. Plastic industry provides direct and indirect employment for thousands of skilled and non-skilled labour (Kahangamage and Mangala, 2005). The country is still at a preliminary production stage, and it is only beginning to seek out new opportunities and explore new markets (Sri Lanka Export Development Board, 2017). For the better survival within the market while attaining competitive advantage, each manufacturer in this industry should have highly motivated employees who strive to attain high quality production (Patrick, 2012). Herzberg (1959) found that there are two different sets of factors that affect motivation. One set of factors are hygiene factors, those which, if absent, cause dissatisfaction. The other set of factors are motivators, which produce the feelings of satisfaction and if present, serve to motivate the individual to superior effort and performance. Followed by interviews with HR mangers in set of selected plastic manufacturing factories, the research was able to recognize a gap between the actual and expected levels of performance among the operative employees. This created a need of providing recommendations to increase the performance of operative employees in plastic industry in Kurunegala district.
Impact of E-Service quality on customer loyalty: in case of online shopping customers in Sri Lankan retail industry
(University of Peradeniya, 2019) Weeratunge,K.D.M.K.; Wijethunga,W.M.H.U.
With the rapid worldwide growth in electronic commerce businesses are attempting to obtain a competitive advantage by using e-commerce to interact with customers. However there are instances where many online stores related to retail industry denouement their businesses since not much effort is put in identifying the crucial factors to create a loyal customer base. There are many factors influencing customer loyalty, amongst e-service quality plays a critical role. Businesses with the most experience and success in using e-commerce are starting to realize that the key determinants of success or failure are not merely web site presence and low price but also include the electronic service quality (e-service quality) (Yang, 2001; Zeithaml, 2002). Since studies on the level of e-service quality and customer loyalty are only handful, the purpose of this study is to measure both e-service quality and customer loyalty among the online shopping customers in Sri Lankan retail industry. Hence through this study researchers intended to fill the existing knowledge gap through the research problem “How e- service quality affects the customer Loyalty among Online customers in Sri Lankan retail industry?”
The impact of personality on career exploration behaviors of undergraduates: with special reference to university of Peradeniya
(University of Peradeniya, 2019) Fahmitha,M.A.; Edirisooriya,W.A.
Graduates are the one of the human capital resources of our country as they have the potential to determine the performance of an organization or a country (Hanapi & Nordin, 2013). Graduates transition from college to career is an important stage as it is going to decide their status, identity and self-esteem throughout their career decision. Accordingly, career exploration is the central construct to find out new jobs (Raveeswaran & Sivaskaran, 2016), graduates in this transition need career exploration behaviors. On the other hand, unemployment of graduates is one of the prominent issues that many countries currently struggling with (ILO’s Flagship report, 2018). The study of UNESCO (2012) states that the worldwide graduate unemployment rate has been increased to 6.2% in 2012. Further, Aina (2017) states that a high percentage of jobless youth contributes to the overall unemployment in Malaysia. By supporting the above view, Oluwajodu, et al., (2015) mention that graduate unemployment in South Africa appears to be rising together with the overall unemployment rate. In Sri Lanka, there are number of graduates unemployed in each year and they have formed unemployed graduates union for the purpose of finding government employment opportunities (Raveeswaran & Sivaskaran, 2016). Thus, the purpose of this study was to address the graduate unemployability issue in Sri Lanka. Moreover, Raveeswaran & Sivaskaran (2016) have mentioned that the activities of Sri Lankan unemployed graduates show that they are lack of career self-efficacy and career exploration behavior. Stumpf, et al., (1983) define career exploration as the individuals' activities of collecting and analyzing information on their personal characteristics, as well as information on jobs, organizations and occupations. Since graduates are vital for a countries performance (Hanapi & Nordin, 2013) it is essential to focus on the issue of graduates lacking career exploration behaviors. Among many factors personality has an important contribution in
