  • Reawakening of organisational commitment through bibliometric visualisation: a Scopus database mapping   Order a copy of this article
    by Sudhir Chandra Das, Alisha Samad 
    Abstract: Organisational commitment is a fascinating issue among managers and researchers in this competitive business environment. The current article has done a bibliometric analysis, and to understand the analysis comprehensively, the Scopus database has been extracted to identify the publications by year, most published subject area, utmost cited papers, and research productivity in terms of most prolific authors, countries, and institutions. The VOSviewer software was run to analyse the bibliometric methods based on co-authorship analysis, co-occurrences of keywords and citation analysis. By visualising the software, the outcome represents that during 2020, the variable 'organisational commitment' has the highest number of publications with 728 documents, thereby representing an important topic in the scenario according to the recent trends and issues in behavioural studies and setting its targets for forthcoming research agenda.

  • Implications of virtual employment on productivity   Order a copy of this article
    by Marissa Ampe 
    Abstract: This systematic literary review explores how virtual employment options impact white-collar business employees' productivity for a comprehensive understanding of the current research on virtual employment productivity. This examination confirms the determining factors that impact white-collar business employees' performance and overall productivity while working via virtual means. Through analysing this relationship, areas have emerged as prevalent indicators of employees' level of productivity including work environment, corporate culture, communication practices, human resources support and training, management and supervision tactics, as well as employee well-being and incentivisation. A negative correlation was discovered concerning productivity and virtual employment, and a configurational framework was created to explain the nuances of virtual employment and productivity. Furthermore, employee supports are illustrated that could help mitigate or alleviate virtual employee productivity losses. Understanding the nuances of how an employee can lose value from working virtually can help organisations in their strategy and planning to better support their workforce.
    Keywords: employee management; employee performance; hybrid employment; productivity; remote work; telecommunication; virtual employment; work-from-home.
