Abstract

Purpose

On two different occasions, the Jordanian Constitutional Court has ruled that Articles 51 and 54 of the Jordanian Arbitration Act no. 31 of the year 2001 are unconstitutional and null. In view of this, this paper aims to attempt to give the reader a brief preview of the Jordanian Arbitration Act, the Jordanian Constitution and the Jordanian Constitutional Court. It also highlights and critically analyzes the Jordanian Constitutional Court two decisions pertaining to the Arbitration Act and its special implications in this regard from the perspective of arbitration law and the distinct characteristics embedded in it.

Design/methodology/approach

To examine how effective is the approach followed by the Constitutional Court in ruling the unconstitutionality of the aforementioned Articles, this work makes use of the primary and secondary data available in this regard as the main method to complete such an examination. By critically analyzing and comparing the various data contained in these sources, this work identifies the problems associated with such decisions.

Findings

This work submits that while the Constitutional Court has rested its rulings largely on constitutional principles, concerns arising from the Arbitration Act perspective have not been dealt with adequately by the Court. Furthermore, it argues that while the principles of the constitution shall be respected, the distinct characteristics of the arbitration law warrant a more careful approach than actually followed by the Court.

Originality/value

Taking into consideration the importance of arbitration as an alternative mean for dispute resolution, the Jordanian legislator has addressed the application of arbitration as early as the year 1953. However, while the Constitutional Court’s questionable approach to the aforementioned articles would necessarily hinder the use of arbitration, no comprehensive scholarly work has either examined such approach or addressed its implications. Accordingly, this work derives its originality and value from being the first of its kind to examine and address such a matter.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study is to empirically test the relationship between caring human resource management practices (CHRMP) and employee engagement through a serial mediation effect (organizational climate of care and employee caring for the organization). In addition, this study investigates the moderating effect of caring management on the relationship between CHRMP and the organizational climate of care.

Design/methodology/approach

The study sample consists of 245 employees from customer service firms in the United States of America. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the hypotheses.

Findings

The results demonstrate positive direct and indirect relationships between CHRMP and employee engagement through serial mediation of the organizational climate of care and employee caring for the organization, while caring management failed to moderate the relationship between CHRMP and organizational climate of care.

Originality/value

The study contributes to the human resource management (HRM) literature by explaining some of the mechanisms whereby CHRMP influences employee engagement based on the social exchange theory.

Abstract

Purpose

The study examined the influence of internal marketing orientation on employees’ innovative behaviour through the mediating role of workforce agility and the moderating role of psychological empowerment.

Design/methodology/approach

We collected 731 valid responses from frontline employees in the hospitality industry in Ghana. The data were analysed using hierarchical regression analysis in SPSS.

Findings

The findings show that internal marketing orientation significantly influenced workforce agility and innovative behaviour. Also, workforce agility significantly influenced employee innovative behaviour. Again, the study found that workforce agility partially mediated the relationship between internal marketing orientation and employee innovative behaviour. Psychological empowerment significantly moderated the relationship between workforce agility and employees innovative behaviour.

Practical implications

In order to promote agile behaviour and enhance innovative thinking when assigning tasks for company products and services, organisations should develop and implement suitable internal marketing orientation programmes and policies regarding opportunities for career growth, promotion and advancement.

Originality/value

This study offers timely empirical insights into how organisations can promote employee innovation, particularly in the hospitality sector, where human capital is imperative for service excellence and competitiveness.

Abstract

Purpose

Innovation has become a necessity for the information technology (IT) sector, especially during COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to investigate how knowledge sharing affects employees’ innovative work behavior (IWB). Specifically, the study examined occupational self-efficacy (as mediating mechanism) and entrepreneurial leadership (as boundary condition) to encourage IWB.

Design/methodology/approach

The study used social media platforms to collect data from 270 employees working in the IT sector through “google forms” on convenience basis between March and August, 2021. The study applied structural equation modeling in two stages to examine the measurement model (for uni-dimensionality) and the structural model (for hypotheses testing).

Findings

The study noted that knowledge sharing positively affects employees’ IWB and occupational self-efficacy positively explains this association. In addition, employees’ perception of entrepreneurial leadership strengthens the association between knowledge sharing and IWB.

Research limitations/implications

The study collected data from a developing country during COVID-19 by using a cross-sectional design that may restrict causality. However, the findings suggest the management not only encourages knowledge sharing environment but also engages employees in various training that motivate them to experiment with new ideas and techniques.

Originality/value

This study extends the existing literature on knowledge sharing and IWB by exploring occupational self-efficacy as mediating mechanism and entrepreneurial leadership as a boundary condition.
