Abstract

Globalisation has made business a challenging proposition. Further, it has led to multicultural organisations where, people belonging to different cultures work under one roof. To manage diverse workforce, organisations need a new generation of managers, who are culturally sensitive. In this context, cultural intelligence is a tool, which increases the manager's ability to effectively interact with people belonging to other cultures. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of cultural intelligence on job performance and explore the role played by cross-cultural adaptability. The data for the study have been collected from 342 managers of Nationalised banks in JandK (India). Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis have been conducted to explore and validate the factors of different constructs. Hypotheses have been tested through structural equation modeling. The study reveals that cultural intelligence significantly affects job performance and cross-cultural adaptability mediates the relationship between cultural intelligence and job performance. Implications and limitations of the study have also been discussed.

Keywords

Cultural Intelligence, Cross Cultural Adaptability, Job Performance and Indian Culture.

Abstract

Rapid changes in globalization, privatization/deregulation, competition, and technological advances, human resources (HR) and other management practices, organizations shifted their mind set towards high performance HRM practices. Now, these practices are become as internally consistent set of policies and strategies, which contributes to the achievement of business objectives. Hence, present paper explored all major high performance HR practices. Further, it also explored the impact of high performance HR practices on intention to leave and emotional exhaustion. The conceptual models has been checked through SEM. Results revealed that high performance HR practices have significant but, negative impact on emotional exhaustion and intention to leave. Further, theoretical, managerial and financial implications and future research also stand discussed.

Keywords

Abstract

Mycology, the study of fungal biology, and philately, the study of postage stamps, are rarely connected, as they are very different activities. However, philatelic mycology can raise awareness of the facets of fungi which contribute significantly to human welfare. Fungi are photogenic and exhibit physiological wonders such as luminescence. They are important in biotechnology for their secondary metabolites. So, stamps depicting fungi signal the recognition of problems and prospects of prosperity posed by fungi in nutrition and health, agriculture, engineering, industry and ecology. Many countries have issued thousands of stamps on fungi. India with a rich heritage of fungal diversity lags in this respect. This article hopes to inspire action by celebrating the beauty and significance of fungi in the art of philately.
