Primary data based on 426 respondents were analysed to compare the recruitment and selection methods being practiced by Indian and multinational organisations operating in India. Through application of latent trait model, this study found that in addition to the increasing recognition of internet based recruitment methods; most accepted methods in MNCs and Indian companies were direct applicants, placement consultants, and employee referrals. The recruitment methods like temporary staffing and advertisement in newspapers were relatively less practiced in all the organisations, whether MNCs or Indian organisations. In case of selection methods, both MNCs and Indian organisations put emphasis on written tests, general interview and test on specific skills. However, psychological tests and technical interviews were relatively more practiced by MNCs than Indian organisations. Implications and limitations of the study were also discussed.Keywords

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of psychological empowerment on firm performance by taking the employee affective commitment as mediator. Primary data based on 208 respondents has been analyzed to test the stated hypotheses. Initially exploratory factor analysis has been employed to clarify the underlying pattern of factors. Then correlation and multiple regression analyses have been used to check the relationship among study variables. Results of regression analysis revealed that affective commitment partially mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and firm performance. So, to enhance affective commitment and firm performance, management and leaders must do every possible effort to empower their employees. The implications for HR practitioners and organizations are also discussed.Keywords

The public sector organizations have been at the forefront of valuing diversity. However, the attitudes and perceptions of diverse employees about organization’s efforts to promote diversity still largely remain unanswered in the public sector. Therefore, this study is an attempt to investigate the differences in the perceptions of employees across gender (males and females) and categories (general, disabled, minorities, and social disadvantaged) towards workforce diversity in an Indian public sector organization, i.e., Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. Based on a sample of 619 respondents, the results of data analysis indicated that gender and categorical discriminations were prevailing in the organization.Keywords
