Employee shirking and overworking: modelling the unintended consequences of work organisation
2020
Underworking (i.e. shirking) and overworking of employees can have detrimental effects for the individual and the organisation. We develop a computational model to investigate how work structure, specifically the way in which managers distribute work tasks amongst employees, impacts work intensity and working time. The model draws on theories from economics, psychology and management, and on empirical observations. The simulations show that when managers correctly estimate task difficulty, but undervalue the employee’s competence, opportunities for shirking are provided due to longer deadlines. Similarly, if managers overvalue the employee’s competence, they set tighter deadlines leading to…

USE OF GAMIFICATION IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: IMPACT ON ENGAGEMENT AND SATISFACTION
2018
The use of games, also called gamification, is innovative an approach in contemporary human resource management. The aim of this research is to assess whether gamification, if used in HR processes, can increase engagement and job satisfaction among employees, as well as to identify which HR processes respond better to gamification. Using data from CAWI interviews (n = 620) and Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) method with smartPLS software, the researchers found a significant positive impact of gamification on employee job satisfaction, however, no impact on engagement. Teambuilding and internal communication were identified as HR processes which better respond to gamification and rec…

A Matter of Learning: How Human Resources Affect Organizational Performance
2010
Recently, a number of studies have tried to examine the processes that explain the influence of high performance work systems (HPWS) on company performance, in an attempt to understand which variables mediate this relationship and to what extent they do so. The importance of the organizational learning capability (OLC) construct has traditionally been outlined as being essential for a company’s survival and effective performance. Thus, it seems important to establish whether HPWS can be considered an antecedent of OLC, and consequently to confirm whether OLC acts as a mediating variable in the HPWS–company performance linkage. Bearing in mind that HPWS represent a ‘bundle’ of mutually reinf…
