This study is one of the first attempts to comprehensively define TM functions conceptually. Using the F-AHP method, the study also provides a more robust and valid view of the identified functions and prioritises them for one specific service industry: container shipping. The most prioritised and effective function is talent development. The findings provide a resource for organisations wanting to implement TM and a benchmark tool for organisations already implementing TM. Journal: Int.

Often, the demands of work and life intersect to create conflict between domains, which can result in stress. An individual who is highly embedded in their community has active, demanding non-work roles, which can create resource demands that permeate their workplace. When these non-work demands enter the work domain, highly embedded individuals are more likely to experience job hindrances as stressful. Results from 194 executive-level employees showed a positive relationship between off-the-job embeddedness and stress associated with work demands. Further analysis also revealed that a work-life boundary management strategy favouring integration of the two domains weakened the relationship. Therefore, if an individual is highly embedded in their community and adopts an integration strategy toward their work and life roles, it helps reduce work-related stress. Journal: Int.

This paper fills this gap in the literature by investigating whether dimensions of leadership influence organisational effectiveness, and by understanding and clarifying how organisational effectiveness is moderated by leader hierarchical level, job experience, and organisational tenure. Using a quantitative approach, we collected 381 questionnaires from two different samples targeting corporate leaders to capture their self-perceptions on leadership effectiveness. Results show that the impact of effective leadership behaviours on organisational effectiveness is moderated by these contextual variables. These findings contribute to advancing the previous debate on the effects of contextual factors where leadership effectiveness plays a key role in organisational effectiveness and adds to the extant research by clarifying which combination of leadership behaviours is exhibited by the different levels.

TM in the public sector has received little attention although research highlight significant challenges. Key points: 1) a meta-analysis of empirical and theoretical research to inform management practice on TM and HRM in emerging economies in Southeast Asia; 2) a focus on the TM research gap within public sector management in emerging economies; 3) key issues involving the 'leadership gap' and 'brain drain' when managing challenges of future TM in the public sector, in Southeast Asia; 4) TM strategies also involves how organisations in the public sector implement them and are used to encourage long-term continuous support and development; 5) highlights the importance of the mediating effects of TM on the role of good governance and ethical leadership in developing fit-for purpose public sector management.

Quantitative technique approach was employed in this research. Questionnaires were distributed and primary data were collected for the study through a cross-sectional survey approach. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data. Furthermore, this study theoretically incorporates two theories (i.e., the economic entrepreneurship theory and the vroom expectancy motivation theory) especially in developing the conceptual framework for the study. Merging the selected theories to develop the research framework uncovered the novelty of this study. In addition, value is added to self-employment literature by exploring the under-researched factors of self-employment determinants in the Nigeria context. The results confirm that vocational training applied through the necessary machinery/equipment has a significant impact in potential entrepreneurs' preparedness and motivation in self-employment start-up.

The technology acceptance model (TAM3) was focused and adapted to fit this research context. The developed model examines the effects of the TAM3 aspects of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norms, job relevance, output quality, self-efficacy, technology anxiety, chatbot experience, age, and perceived system transparency as newly introduced variables influencing the acceptance of recruiting chatbots. An online survey was conducted, yielding data from 250 recruiters from German companies, which was analysed via PLS-SEM modelling. The findings confirm that all the examined variables except age are significant. Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norms, job relevance, output quality, self-efficacy, chatbot anxiety, chatbot experience, and the proposed additional perceived system transparency have a significant effect on the behavioural intention to utilise a recruiting chatbot.

However, due to their limited capacities compared to larger firms, SMEs confront many problems when entering and competing in the local and global markets. Some of these problems that distract SMEs from the competitive markets revolve around human resources and digitalisation. Many SMEs lack strong HRM patterns and the effective use of ICT, specifically for their management processes workwise. Therefore, this paper concentrates on the issue of digitalisation in the HRM process in SMEs. The paper initially describes the technological dimension of HRM and focuses on AI-powered computer systems, which are one of the latest technological advances in the field. Then, it specifically seeks to discuss the adoption of these systems and identify their potential in conducting HRM-related activities in SMEs. Journal: Int.

This article reports on a study of structural school factors affecting teachers' autonomous behaviour. A three-wave longitudinal design was used, as opposed to the cross-sectional studies so often reported in the literature. Using a sample of 580 primary, secondary, and vocational teachers, analyses showed that teachers' autonomous behaviour predicted professional development at work. Analyses also showed that the structural school factor <i>empowering teachers</i> contributed to teachers' autonomous behaviour and subsequently professional development at work. Trust as an empowering element could be enhanced by dialogues with teachers about education. Analyses further demonstrated that the structural school factor <i>decentralisation</i> of responsibilities to teacher teams also contributed to teachers' autonomous behaviour and subsequently professional development at work. These findings underscore school leaders' key role in shaping a thriving work environment. Journal: Int.

In doing so, firms' age and size, i.e., years of business operation and number of employees, were considered as firm-specific contextual factors. The results provided support for the hypothesised mediation relationships, having implications for both theory and practice. Journal: Int.
