Perceptions about physical activity and its associated benefits among employees : case study in 12 Multinational Companies in Pakistan

2016

This thesis focus on the perceptions of the employees working in Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Pakistan, with regards to their physical activity and its associated benefits. Previous research has shown that physical activity is positively associated with on-job productivity and life satisfaction of the employees across the world. With no such research being carried out in Pakistan before, this thesis aims to focus on the same factors, but uses employees’ perceptions rather than employing an intervention study. Furthermore associated benefits of physical activity such as reduced healthcare cost, decrease in exposure to various heath-risks and reduced presenteeism were also addressed w…

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 …

Explanations of success and failure in management learning : What can we learn from Nokia's rise and fall

2016

International audience; In this paper, we study the changing explanations of success and failure over the course of a firm's history. We build on a discursive approach that highlights the role of narrative attributions in making sense of corporate performance. Specifically, we analyze how the Nokia Corporation was framed first as a success and later as a failure and how these dimensions of performance were explained in various actors' narrative accounts. In both the success and failure accounts, our analysis revealed a striking black-and-white picture that resulted in the institutionalization of Nokia's metanarratives of success and failure. Our findings also reveal a number of discursive a…

From state-owned smokestacks to post-industrial dreams : The Finnish government in business, 1970–2010

2020

While state-owned enterprises (SOEs) used to be considered obsolete tools for governmental intervention in the economy, in recent years governmental intervention in the business sector has re-emerged as a topic of debate. However, scholarship on the changes in and the modernisation of the SOE model is limited. In this article, we examine how the Finnish state’s ownership policy adapted to the requirements of economic globalisation between the 1970s and the 2010s. We show that the attitude towards globalisation was pragmatic and aimed at safeguarding the competitiveness of domestic companies. The state-owned company system was gradually adapted to meet new needs, losing most of its original …

Reputation, regulation and corporate governance as determinants of the improvement of non-financial information (NFI) reporting

2023

Many years have passed since corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the disclosure of non-financial information (NFI) aroused interest in very few organizations (Hąbek & Wolniak, 2016). Today, they are part of the main priorities for the most important companies in the world, and they are seen as an important part of the strategy due to the many benefits associated with them (Castilla-Polo & Sánchez-Hernández, 2020). In the last decades, it has become evident the relevance that NFI reporting has worldwide. It can be seen through the evolution of the issuance of this type of reports. In 2002, 45% of the G250 companies published a separate report, 20 years later, the numbers show that 96% …

Deadlock in corporate governance: Finding a common strategy for private telephone companies, 1978–1998

2017

This paper looks at how a group of small, incumbent private telephone companies complied with the international convergence of market structures. The existing research has mainly focused on large national incumbents, assuming a transition to multinational enterprise. This development process is often associated with privatisation policies and various institutional factors. The article tests these assumptions using a case study of the network of Finnish local telephone companies. It looks at the development of an interfirm network, its perspectives on the different phases of the deregulation process, and how the network tried to regenerate itself but failed to form a unified corporate struct…

Multiple directorships of corporate boards and firm performance in India

2017

The purpose of the paper is to investigate, first, the association between multiple directorship assignments (busyness) undertaken by corporate directors and firm performance, second, whether endogenously determined limits of multiple directorships, highlighting the ownership structure and other institutional settings, explain the above association better than those by exogenously mandated by regulators and third, the association between the nature of busyness and firm performance. The study develops measures of busyness in the light of the agency and resource dependence theories. The spline regression technique is applied in order to reflect institutional settings of a large sample and sub…
