  • Does motivation differ across generations? A two-wave study
    Tanvi Paras Kothari, Sameer Sudhakar Pingle, Anushree Karani Mehta
    Evidence Based Hrm, 2025
    PurposeThe main objective of the study was to understand the impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on productivity at two different times: before and after the pandemic era, among middle and top-level professionals across India.Design/methodology/approachThe study has adopted a shortitudinal approach. The data were collected two times from the same respondents: before the pandemic (T1) and after the pandemic (T2) following the convenience sampling. At T1, we received responses from 321 respondents. At T2, we received only 203 responses while contacting the same respondents. Thus, the final sample size was only 203 respondents.FindingsThe results revealed that in the pre-pandemic times, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation impacted the productivity of middle and top-level professionals. Further, the study also revealed that only intrinsic motivation impacted productivity after the pandemic. Moreover, generational cohorts (pre-liberalization, early-liberalization and rapid growth generations) moderated the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and Productivity at T1 and T2.Research limitations/implicationsWoven in the multiple theories, the study has some practical and theoretical nuances. The intrinsic and extrinsic motivations were rooted in the self-determination theory. The results also supported that extrinsic reward cannot increase intrinsic motivation in difficult times, and only intrinsic motivation is constant at all times, contributing to productivity. The HR department should understand the importance of intrinsic motivation and design employee benefits and policies.Practical implicationsThe results also supported that extrinsic reward cannot increase intrinsic motivation in difficult times, and only intrinsic motivation is constant at all times, contributing to productivity. The HR department should understand the importance of intrinsic motivation and design employee benefits and policies.Originality/valueFollowing the generational view, the study added that different generation reacts differently to the turbulent times.

    , Sameer Pingle, Shubhangi Jore, , Rajwinder Kaur, and
    Journal of Economics and Management Poland, 2025
    Aim/purpose – This study explores the dimensions of employer attractiveness and its impact on segmenting potential employees based on their preferences. The research focuses on socio-demographic variables, personality traits, and critical aspects of em- ployer attractiveness to elucidate the factors influencing individuals’ inclination to align themselves with their employers. Design/methodology/approach – The research employs a non-probability sampling technique to collect data from undergraduate and postgraduate management and engi- neering students in Indore City, India. Data was collected through a structured question- naire covering socio-demographic details, perceptions of employer attractiveness, and personality traits. Factor analysis and cluster analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings – The study provides insights into understanding employer attractiveness and its components. Segmenting employees based on their preferences reveals how individu- als perceive different aspects of employers. By analyzing socio-demographic factors and personality traits in combination with employer attractiveness, the research offers a nu- anced perspective on the determinants of individuals’ preferences for employers. Research implications/limitations – This study’s findings are limited by the non-probability sampling technique and its focus on students in a specific geographic area, which may affect the generalizability of the results. Future research could include diverse demographic and geographic samples to validate the identified clusters. Despite these limitations, the study’s findings have practical implications for developing targeted employer branding strategies to enhance employer attractiveness and employee retention. Originality/value/contribution – This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on employer attractiveness. It highlights the significance of effective em- ployer branding strategies for organizations striving to attract and retain top talent in a competitive labor market. Keywords: employer attractiveness, talent acquisition, retention, personality traits, em- ployer branding, segmentation. JEL Classification: L2, M1.

  • Effect of organisational culture on employer branding and resultant employee brand equity in the private banking sector
    Rajwinder Kaur, Sameer Pingle, Anand Kumar Jaiswal
    International Journal of Bank Marketing, 2024
    PurposeThis research aims to investigate the relationship between employer branding and its antecedent organisational culture within the context of the private banking sector. The study also investigates the relationship between employer branding and employee brand equity as a consequential construct. Additionally, the mediating role of trust and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between employer branding and employee brand equity has been examined.Design/methodology/approachThe present study’s findings result from data analysis collected from a sample of 454 employees working in private banks in India. The data analysis was conducted utilising the structural equation modelling technique with the assistance of analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software.FindingsThe study’s findings indicate that supportive and bureaucratic (formal) culture in private banks exhibit a significant relationship with employer branding. However, the relationship between innovative culture and employer branding was found to be insignificant. The research also reveals a significant positive association between employer branding and employee brand equity variables: brand consistent behaviour, brand endorsement and brand allegiance. Further, the study highlights the mediating role of employee trust in management in the relationship between employer branding and employee brand equity. Examining demographic variables suggests that gender moderates the relationship between employer branding and employee brand equity.Originality/valueThe originality of this study lies in its exploration of the critical role of organisational culture variables in shaping employer branding within the context of private banks. The findings highlight that cultivating supportive and bureaucratic cultures can effectively enhance the employer branding of private banks. The study emphasises the outcomes of employer branding initiatives, signifying that they contribute to developing brand equity among employees. This leads to long-term employee commitment and advocacy towards the organisation, as employees become brand advocates for the bank with which they are affiliated. The study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between organisational culture, employer branding and employee brand equity, providing valuable implications for the private banking sector aiming to reinforce their employer brand and increase employee engagement.

    Human Systems Management, 2021
    BACKGROUND: The complexity and dynamism involved in the current business environment requires agile workforce. Workforce agility requires learning agility which is the capability to acquire knowledge willingly, quickly and effectively. Promoting learning agility requires organisations to explore and identify facilitator or barriers for higher performance. In this context, organisational culture and E learning technology may play an important role to promote learning agility for better performance.

Data collected from 776 executives across all levels has been analysed using structural equational modelling using IBM AMOS software. RESULTS: The result proved learning agility significantly related with outcome. Secondly, culture and e learning technology mediate between learning agility and outcome. The result suggests organisations to nurture suitable culture and adopt e-learning technology to facilitate effective learning agility. CONCLUSIONS: Learning agility is critical for making workforce and business agile. The unpredictable and complex business environment can be managed through agile learners. Organisations need to nurture and adopt suitable culture and technology for better performance.

  • Employer Branding in the Indian Armed Forces Context: A Comparative Study of Potential Defence Applicants and Defence Employees
    Rajwinder Kaur, Sameer S. Pingle
    Vision, 2018
    Indian Armed Forces are one of the largest organizations around the globe. Joining the forces is based on the voluntary service. Hence, it is important and critical for the armed forces to attract skilled talent and also to retain the current employees. This research is based on the study of instrumental and symbolic attributes related to Indian Armed Forces as an employer brand. The attractiveness of the Indian Armed Forces as an employer for potential candidates and the current employees of the armed forces is also studied. A sample of 200 people was used (150 potential candidates and 50 current employees) for studying the perceptions of potential and current employees. Results showed that there is significant difference between the perceptions of potential candidates and current employees for the instrumental functions related to Indian Armed Forces. Potential candidates were more favourable towards the instrumental function. The perceptions regarding ‘symbolic functions’ and ‘the Indian Armed Forces attractiveness as an employer’ were explained in similar proportion between the potential candidates and the current employees.
