The relationships among work-related perceptions, employee attitudes, and employee performance: the integral role of communication

Article Abstract:

A study examined the role of communication in supporting human resource management initiatives aimed at improving employee performance. In particular, this research investigated how communication, participation in decisionmaking and teamwork contribute to organizational performance. This study also explored elements of affective attitudes, namely, organizational commitment, job satisfaction and stress. Data were gathered from a sample of employees working in an Australian information technology company. Findings revealed that employees' perceptions of teamwork, communication, job satisfaction, commitment and stress were strong predictors of self-rated performance. Communication was found to have a negative relationship with performance. The role of communication was discovered to boost teamwork, job satisfaction and commitment.

New technology, human resources and competitiveness in developing countries: the role of technology transfer

Article Abstract:

There has been a debate on the extent to which world economic trends are promoting skills and the participation of the labor force, or whether deskilling and increased managerial control are more important. Promoting skills in the labor force can help with technology transfers, allowing firms to become more competitive. This emphasis on skills is more likely to take place through foreign direct investment where there is a commitment to the local enterprise, or where local enterpises have access to technology and some autonomy, while having to compete in international markets.
