  • The role of big data and predictive analytics in the employee retention: a resource-based view
    Rupali Singh, Pooja Sharma, Cyril Foropon, H.M. Belal
    International Journal of Manpower, 2022
    PurposeThe authors have attempted to understand how big data and predictive analytics (BDPA) can help retain employees in the organization.Design/methodology/approachThis study is grounded in the positivism philosophy. The authors have used a resource-based view (RBV) to develop their research hypotheses. The authors tested their research hypotheses using primary data gathered using a single-informant questionnaire. The authors obtained 254 usable responses. The authors performed the assumptions test, performed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the validity of the proposed theoretical model, and further tested their research hypotheses using hierarchical regression analysis.FindingsThe statistical result suggests that the various human resource management strategies play a significant role in improving retention under the mediating effect of the BDPA.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors have grounded their study in the positivism philosophy. Moreover, the authors tested their hypotheses using single-informant cross-sectional data. Hence, the authors cannot ignore the effects of the common method bias on their research findings. Moreover, the research findings are based on a particular setting. Thus, the authors caution the readers that their findings must be examined in the light of their study limitations.Practical implicationsThe study provided empirical findings based on survey data. Hence, the authors provide numerous guidelines to the practitioners that how the organization can invest in creating BDPA that helps analyze complex data to extract meaningful and relevant information. This information related to employee turnaround may guide top management to reduce the dissatisfaction level among the employees working in high-stress environments resulting from a high degree of uncertainty.Social implicationsThe study helps understand the complex factors that affect the morale of the employee. In the high-paced environment, the employees are often exposed to various negative forces that affect their morale which further affect their productivity. Due to lack of awareness and adequate information, most of the employees and their issues are not dealt with effectively and efficiently by their line managers. Thus, the BDPA can help tackle the most complex problem of society in a significant way.Originality/valueThis study offers some useful contributions to the literature which attempts to unfold the complex nexus between human resource management, information management and strategy. The study contributes to the BDPA literature and how it helps in the retention of employees is one of the areas which still remains elusive to the academic community. Moreover, the managers are still skeptical about the application of BDPA in understanding human-related issues due to a lack of understanding of how and to what extent the employee-related information can be stored and processed. This study’s findings further open the new avenues of research that need to be tackled.
  • Operationalizing the antecedents and outcomes of union participation in the Indian context
    Ginni Chawla, Tripti Singh, Rupali Singh
    Journal of Indian Business Research, 2020
    PurposeUnions and organizations interests are often seen to be in competition. However, union-voice hypothesis suggests that unions can provide a distinctive mechanism to lower organizational costs by reducing exit behavior, absence from work and conflict levels at work. This study aims to look at union participation as a form of voice which is affected by a number of antecedents and in turn has an effect upon the workers performance (i.e. worker behavior effectiveness [WBE]) in an organization.Design/methodology/approachThe study draws on data from 340 permanent labors working in 19 manufacturing units across different regions of India to explore both the antecedents and outcomes of union participation. Hypotheses are tested using mediation analysis.FindingsResults indicate statistically significant relationships between union participation, its antecedents and WBE, with union participation partially influencing the relationship between the constructs.Originality/valueUniqueness of the study lies in its findings which report positive relationship among union participation, its antecedents and behavior effectiveness. Contrary to the traditional belief that unions are detrimental to the health of any organization, the study suggests that workers decision to join and participate in unions should be viewed positively because only if a person is willing to stay with the organization, he/she seeks to resolve the issues/problems through collective mechanism of union participation and which in turn leads to enhanced performance, reduced absenteeism at the workplace.
  • Resolving an Inevitable Crisis: Whose Stake Is It?
    Ginni Chawla, Tripti Singh, Sonal Agarwal, Rupali Singh
    Global Business Review, 2018
    Maruti Suzuki India Limited, a subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, Japan, was doing very well in its early 2000s, having neared the pinnacle of success until 2011, when a major crisis supervened, resulting in a stark decline in the production and the profits of the company. The thematic review provides a general overview of the industrial relations scenario in India and describes the events that forced company into such a precarious situation. The time-series case analysis method with a holistic design approach has been adopted, and key events have been chronologically presented. Hypothetical players and competing parties have been fashioned within reasonable limits to draw a realistic picture of the situation. Competing sources of information such as print and electronic media have been used to gather and report facts and figures. The case is yet another testimony to the several issues that have been silently plaguing industrial relations over the years in Indian industries.
  • Worker participation in union activities: a conceptual review
    Ginni Chawla, Tripti Singh, Rupali Singh, Sonal Agarwal
    Personnel Review, 2018
    PurposeViewed in the context of liberalization, privatization and globalization, the socio-economic and legal environment facing the unions have changed, throwing them into clutches of adversity and destitution. The purpose of this paper is to identify the reasons (i.e. antecedents) behind workers’ participation in union activities (such as strikes, rallies, demonstrations) in today’s scenario, and to understand how these participation tactics influence workers’ performance (i.e. worker behavior effectiveness) at work.Design/methodology/approachA range of published sources is drawn on, including quantitative, survey based and qualitative, case-study and other evidence for building the conceptual review.FindingsThe investigation clearly indicates that contemporary challenges facing unions in the present scenario prompt industrial actions. Only specific and genuine grievances and justifiable demands motivate workers to form a strong emotional attachment to their unions and engage in union participation activities such as strike activity (Darlington, 2006; Bean and Stoney, 1986).Originality/valueContrary to the traditional view, which sights unions as detrimental to worker productivity, turnover, and attendance at work (via restrictive work rules, featherbedding and disruptive strikes or other adversarial tactics), the investigation, through extensive review of literature proposes that unions positively influence worker behavior at work. The model, however, requires empirical testing to validate the proposed relationships.
  • Innovations in human resource practices: Measurement development and validation
    Sonal Agarwal, Ginni Chawla, Rupali Singh
    International Journal of Innovation Science, 2017
    PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop innovations in human resource (InHR) framework in the context of Indian banking industry and further develop a scale for its measurement.Design/methodology/approachA non-response bias test is conducted on a sample of 300 employees, and the assumptions of constant variance, outliers and normality are tested. Further, the InHR scale is validated through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tests.FindingsEFA confirms the existence of five empirically distinct constructs at banking industry in India, and CFA affirms the dependability of the arrived constructs. It is concluded that the InHR framework constructs possess high reliability and validity.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors duly recognize the limitations of survey-based research, the exploratory research design and the use of single method.Practical implicationsThe proposed InHR scale and its constructs are an important input to guide managers and human resources (HR) policymakers to devise strategies for the Indian banking industry. Banks can also benchmark existing HR policies by applying the proposed InHR framework constructs.Social implicationsThe InHR constructs provide academicians and practitioners with a better approach of understanding the InHR practices.Originality/valueDespite the significance of Indian banking industry for the socio-economic capital, academic research focusing on this industry’s innovative practices has been limited. This study reveals originality and value by proposing an InHR framework in the context of Indian banking industry which integrates all the major innovative practices. Further a scale has been developed for its measurement.

  • Employability and innovation: Development of a scale
    Rupali Singh, Ginni Chawla, Sonal Agarwal, Avani Desai
    International Journal of Innovation Science, 2017
    Purpose The purpose of the paper is to explore the antecedents of employability from the employer’s perspective to provide sustainable employment and to develop a measurement scale. Design/methodology/approach In the study, the survey-based approach has been adopted. The authors developed an instrument following extensive literature review and further pre-tested the instrument with experts drawn from the academics. The data collection was monitored following Dillman’s (2007) total design test method. Finally, 114 usable responses were collected. The data were further tested for normal assumptions. Orthogonal and parsimonious constructs were derived following exploratory factor analysis, and the construct validity was checked using confirmatory factor analysis. Findings The following antecedents of employability were obtained: innovative skills and innovative abilities along with the knowledge, innovative abilities, personality factors, career-building traits, emotional intelligence and efficacy beliefs. Research limitations/implications The authors observed that the present study like other survey-based research has its own limitations. Currently, cross-sectional data were used, which inherit some serious limitations like endogeneity and common method bias. However, utmost care was taken to minimize the effects of endogeneity and common method bias using some suggested measures in the existing literature. Social implications The findings and conclusions are expected to aid students, academicians and practitioners in developing an understanding of employability. Moreover, these antecedents can be developed in graduates along with their higher education as per the requirements of the industry. Originality/value This paper is an attempt to develop a scale for measurement of employability in the education sector.
