TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the correlation effects of recruitment, selection, training and development in public and private hospitals of India and found that the public hospital employees were more satisfied with their recruitment and selection process, less committed to their organisation and experienced lower levels of occupational stress than the employees of private hospitals.
Abstract: The paper explores the correlation effects of recruitment, selection, training and development in public and private hospitals of India. The data was collected using a questionnaire survey method from the medical staff including doctors, nurses and administrators of 30 (15 private and 15 government) hospitals in India. The data was analysed using statistical measures like descriptive statistics, correlation and regression. The results revealed that the public hospital employees were more satisfied with their recruitment and selection process, less committed to their organisation and experienced lower levels of occupational stress than the employees of private hospitals. Furthermore, the healthcare personnel who were satisfied with the recruitment, selection, training and development process were also found to be satisfied with their job and career. These persons are more committed to their organisation and experienced lower levels of occupational stress.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between PA justice and affective commitment of employees in the Indian banking sector, and examined the moderating effects of age and gender on this relationship.
Abstract:
Purpose
Performance appraisal (PA) is one of the most indispensable human resource management practices as many critical decisions regarding employees’ performance are heavily based on the PA results as they are responsible for various attitude-related outcomes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between PA justice and affective commitment (AC) of employees in the Indian banking sector, and to examine the moderating effects of age and gender on this relationship.
Design/methodology/approach
A total of 298 employees from the banking sector were randomly selected to examine the relationship between PA justice and AC along with the moderating role of age and gender on this relationship through structural equation modelling using AMOS 21.
Findings
The findings of the study supported hypothesized relationships as PA justice significantly predicted the AC of bank employees in India. The moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of PA justice and AC are found to be high for older employees and female employees, respectively.
Research limitations/implications
As the present study was cross-sectional, so any inferences regarding causality are limited. Theoretical and managerial implications have been discussed in the context of banking sector.
Originality/value
The paper contributes new insights to the existing literature by examining the moderating effects of age and gender on the relationship of PA justice and AC in the context of Indian banking sector.

TL;DR: In this paper , the effects of occupational stress factors (such as coworker support, work-life balance [WLB] and role expectation conflict) on Generation-Y employees in the educational sector during COVID-19 were investigated.
Abstract:
Purpose
Several organizations decided to work remotely after the Indian Government proclaimed a state of emergency on March 24, 2020, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Employees across all industries, particularly the Generation-Y, were stressed as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The purpose of this study is to fills that gap by looking at the effects of occupational stress factors (such as coworker support, work–life balance [WLB] and role expectation conflict) on Generation-Y employees in the educational sector during COVID-19.
Design/methodology/approach
The causes and consequences of the three occupational stresses listed above were investigated. In total, 231 surveys from workers at private and public educational institutions in India were analyzed using partial least square-structural equation modeling analysis.
Findings
The results revealed that support from coworkers greatly reduced job stress, the WLB had a positive impact on the work and personal lives, and the lack of role specification in Generation-Y employees had a negative impact on their job performance.
Originality/value
This study has considered the occupational stress variables among Generation-Y in the era of COVID-19, which need attention to improve the performance of the academic sector.

TL;DR: The rate of stress among doctors working in the four hospitals of the NMM district is higher than that found in other studies, which report a stress prevalence of 28 - 38% among doctors.
Abstract: Introduction. Stress and burnout are common among healthcare professionals, including doctors and nurses. Work-related stress rates among the general working population average 18%, while among doctors the rate is reported to be around 28%. Stress in doctors can result in multiple negative consequences. Detecting stress early may have positive outcomes for doctors, their families and the patients they care for. There is growing concern about stress in doctors working in public hospitals, yet there is a paucity of studies on stress among these doctors in South Africa. Methods. A cross-sectional, descriptive study using a self-administered, standardised questionnaire (12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12)) was conducted among medical doctors working in four hospitals of the Ngaka Modiri Molema (NMM) district, North West province. The research questionnaire was distributed and returned anonymously to ensure confidentiality. Results. Of the 67 doctors in the study, 34 (51%) were found to be stressed; 18 (27%) of the participants were highly stressed (morbidly stressed). This result was compared with figures obtained by Govender in an earlier study conducted among private general practitioners in KwaDukuza, KwaZulu-Natal, in which 38% were stressed according to the GHQ-12; 23% of the subjects were morbidly stressed. Conclusion. The rate of stress among doctors working in the four hospitals of the NMM district is higher than that found in other studies, which report a stress prevalence of 28 - 38% among doctors.
