Main findings: The study established that the mediated model was partially significant, which indicates that the relationship between AL and engagement is, in part, contextually dependent on whether employees perceive organisational support. Practical/managerial implications: The presence of perceived organisational support (POS) provides space for an interaction between organisational processes and employee engagement, or, in the absence of an existing POS, an authentic leader transforms organisational resources into positive POS.

The five general models were selected on the consideration that between them, they cover a) a diagnostic approach (Nadler & Tushman, 1980); b) organisational performance and change (Burke & Litwin, 1992); c) the dynamics of planned change (Robertson, Roberts & Porras, 1993); d) an approach that focuses on individuals’ tasks, roles, relationships and responsibilities; as well as on the significant role of organisational leadership (Beer, Eisenstat & Spector, 1990) and; e) the imperative of the fairness perspective in enhancing individuals’ adaptation to organisational change (Novelli, Kirkman & Shapiro, 1995). keywords: analysis; change; component; dimension; employees; factors; individual; intervention; management; model; organisation; people; performance; process; programs; research; respondents; study; transformation; work cache: sajhrm-24.pdf plain text: sajhrm-24.txt item: #352 of 684 id: sajhrm-243 author: None title: sajhrm-243 date: None words: 7516 flesch: 37 summary: Performance dimensions for a university lecturer’s job • Research Design    • Research Approach       • Research methodology       • Research context       • Participants    • Measuring instruments    • Research procedure    • Statistical analysis    • Scale reliability testing and calculation of dimension scores • Results • Discussion    • General perceptions of the performance measurement process    • Performance measurement dimensions designed as subsets of questionnaire items to describe specific performance measurement issues    • Analysis of variance • Article Information Author: Gabedi N.

Practical/managerial implications: Human resources managers and educators must recognise that ‘a one-size-fits-all’ approach to training and development might not be appropriate and that gender-sensitive programming, especially in relation to different levels of entrepreneurial self-efficacy might be required. Contribution of study: The study contributes to the growing knowledge base on women entrepreneurship and increases our understanding of entrepreneurship as a viable career choice in terms of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Although a separate theory of women entrepreneurship might not be required, existing theoretical concepts, which are normally used in trying to explain women entrepreneurship, could be expanded to include explanations of the distinctiveness of women entrepreneurship (De Bruin et al., 2007; Eddleston & Powell, 2007). keywords: business; career; differences; efficacy; entrepreneurship; gender; research; self; south; study; terms; women cache: sajhrm-293.htm plain text: sajhrm-293.txt item: #370 of 684 id: sajhrm-298 author: None title: sajhrm-298 date: None words: 9814 flesch: 41 summary: ISSN: 2071-078X (online) Teleworking in South Africa: Employee benefits and challenges In This Original Research Article...

Despite the potential for dysfunctions in formal mentoring relationships, there is also evidence that the formal mentoring process can work effectively for mentees, mentors and organisations, particularly in cases where the matching process has been guided, formal mentoring has been offered in partnership with informal mentoring and mentors and mentees have been trained to engage in the mentoring relationship (Scandura & Williams, 2002). keywords: career; development; expectations; female; journal; male; mentees; mentoring; mentors; relationship; research; scandura; williams cache: sajhrm-72.pdf plain text: sajhrm-72.txt item: #559 of 684 id: sajhrm-722 author: None title: sajhrm-722 date: None words: 6738 flesch: 48 summary: : Results show that lotteries to encourage workplace HIV testing are very likely to help workers ‘do the right thing’ and unlikely to have a coercive effect if all staff attending HIV testing has participated in standardised HIV and AIDS workplace programme activities and is informed about the consequences of testing positive.
