Exploring the impact of sustainable value proposition on firm performance
2022
Considering the immense potential of sustainable business models in tackling the broader challenge of corporate sustainability, this paper integrates the literature streams on sustainability practices and organizational business models to analyze the performance implications of a firm's sustainable value proposition. Based on the analysis of a large panel dataset across different industries, consistent with the proposed theory, a sustainable value proposition has been found to have a positive impact on a firm's market-based financial performance (namely, Tobin's Q). Yet, this impact turns out to be highly context-dependent. In particular, the findings reveal that a firm's R&D capabilities i…

The longitudinal development of employee well-being: a systematic review
2016
This article reports a systematic review of findings on the long-term development of employee well-being, taking into account the effects of time lag, age, and job change. High-quality quantitative empirical studies focusing on employee affective well-being based on the circumplex model and utilizing measurements at more than two points in time were searched from eight databases. The systematic analysis of the 40 studies revealed that the level of employee well-being was generally high but not fixed – instead changes in mean levels over time were typical. In addition, the stability of well-being was found to be relatively low, as the explained variances were below 50%. Age and change of job…
Drivers of job-related learning among low-educated employees in the Nordic countries
2018
This study explored drivers of participation in job-related lifelong learning (LLL) among low-educated mature-aged employees and compared them across four Nordic countries. Workplaces can be low-threshold, effective arenas for development of their skills in work and learning. The paper builds on the Bounded Agency Model and theories of learning motivation, human capital, and workplace learning. We used data from the Survey of Adult Skills (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies) by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The average participation rate was 36%. Results of the logistic regression analyses showed that income, skills use at work, sector…
Effects of responsible human resource management practices on female employees’ turnover intentions
2017
This study focuses on the effects of socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM) practices on female employees’ turnover intentions and the moderating effect of supervisor gender on this relationship. With a sample of 212 female employees from eight different industries in Finland, the results indicate that SR-HRM practices promoting equal career opportunities and work–family integration play a significant role in reducing women's turnover intentions. The study adds to the academic discourse of corporate social responsibility by highlighting the impact of the organizational-level HRM determinants on the individual-level outcome. In addition, supervisor gender makes a difference …
Organisational climate and employee health outcomes: a systematic review
2019
Organisational climate, particularly safety climate, has been documented as a crucial element in promoting occupational health and safety. However, most previous studies have focused more on safety issues (e.g., injuries and accidents) rather than health outcomes (e.g., illnesses, stress, etc). A comprehensive review is also lacking in relation to understanding the organisational climate–health relationship between different levels of analysis, different data sources and different analytical procedures. We conducted a systematic review to investigate previous scholarly contributions to organisational climate and health. The reviewed articles were obtained from three databases: ISI Web of Kn…

2019
Artykuł poddaje analizie problematykę odpowiedzialności pracodawcy z tytułu stosowania wobec pracownika mobbingu. W rozważaniach odniesiono się zarówno do doktryny oraz orzecznictwa, w szczególności Sądu Najwyższego, wskazując na liczne kontrowersje pojawiające się w tej materii. Omówiono zarówno kwestię zadośćuczynienia, jak i odszkodowania, zwracając uwagę na różnice występujące pomiędzy tymi dwoma roszczeniami przysługującymi pracownikowi w przypadku doświadczenia przez niego mobbingu w miejscu zatrudnienia, jednocześnie wskazując na charakter odpowiedzialności – tj. kontraktowy czy też odszkodowawczy. W ostatniej części odniesiono się do statystyk sądowych obrazujących liczbę wszczynany…
