Although the Solow Paradox appears to have been exceeded, neither the effective contribution of ICT to improve performance, nor the factors of their efficient use, are not yet clearly established. This research aims to highlight the moderating role played by the organizational mechanisms in the genesis of performance through the use of ICT. The conceptual model mobilizing the Resource-Based View and the strategic alignment theory was tested on 113 Tunisian firms that have invested in ICT. The hypothesis testing using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method has demonstrated the important role of the innovativeness of employees and managers. On the other hand, neither the ICT strategic alignment, nor the organizational adaptability, did prove to be significant throughout this research. Key Words: Resource-Based View (RBV), ICT Use, Strategic Alignment, Performance, Productivity Paradox.

This paper presents a study conducted at a private hospital in the province of Ankara, which examined the effects of workplace bullying among the healthcare staff on the job performance, job satisfaction and turnover intention. It was determined that there was a positive relationship between the workplace bullying behaviors towards the individuals and the turnover intention, whereas a negative relationship was observed between the workplace bullying and the job performance. In addition, a negative relationship was determined between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Within the scope of this study, the path analysis modeling, which is considered applicable among the structural equation modeling types and which aims to study the relationship grids among the observed variables, was considered. The values defined as Goodness of Fit Indices enabled the decision of the acceptability of each model as a whole by the data. The findings obtained within the scope of the analysis demonstrated that the factor structure in general sense was within the acceptable limits.

In todays’ digital age, the way consumer interacts with other consumers as well as organization had changed dramatically. Benefited from social media development, online brand community had recognized as powerful alternative media that could contribute to overall brand success. Among others, online brand community could significantly affect brand evangelism or brand referral behaviors. As previous studies attempt to examine how members of online brand community commitment determine their brand satisfaction, loyalty and repurchase intention, this study attempts to extend the understanding on how members’ brand community commitment influenced brand evangelism. This study conceptualized brand evangelism into two constructs namely positive brand referral and oppositional brand referral. Beside, brand congruity also plays a crucial role in building brand community commitment. The study among 138 members of online brand communities revealed that brand congruity has a significant relationship on brand community commitment and brand evangelism dominated by positive brand referral. Brand community commitment also found to partially mediate the relationship of brand congruity and brand evangelism. Implication and future research direction also were highlighted at the end of this article. Key Words: Marketing, Brand Congruity, Brand Community Commitment, Brand Evangelism.

The empirical results show that the dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) and the bivariate AIGARCH (1, 1) model is appropriate in evaluating the relationship of the Taiwan’s and the Korea’s stock markets. The empirical result also indicates that the Taiwan’s and the Korea’s stock markets is a positive relation. The average estimation value of correlation coefficient equals to 0.6554, which implies that the two stock markets is synchronized influence. Besides, the empirical result also shows that the Taiwan’s and the Korea’s stock markets have an asymmetrical effect. The return volatility of the Taiwan and the Korea stock markets receives the influence of the positive and negative values of the Japan and the U.S. stock return volatilities. Under the good news of Japan and U.S. stock markets, the empirical result also shows that the Taiwan and the Korea stock markets can reduce the fixed variation risk.

Although women in Nigeria are faced with gender discrimination and stereotyping which sometimes may affect their ability to fully contribute to corporate strategy decisions, there are however an increasing representation of women on corporate boards in the country. In this paper we therefore try to examine the effect women as board of directors have on corporate social responsible (CSR) decisions for conglomerates in Nigeria over a period from 2005 -2014. Our belief is that gender diversity will increase firms’ socially responsible behaviors. The findings from our analysis justify our proposition of a statistically significant relationship between female directors on a corporate board and corporate social responsibility decisions as represented by charitable giving. However, the number of women on board may not exceed two as this will lead to larger board sizes and conflict of guidelines. The study therefore proposes that more reflection of gender inclusive leadership should be embraced by management and government alike if they are to tap the benefits associated with corporate social responsibility. Key Words: Gender Diversity, Corporate Social Responsibility, Nigeria.

Indigenous knowledge-indigenous vegetable knowledge is fragile to lose with several reasons, but it pays important roles in food and income earning for local. Human capital (HC) measurement would be a part of human capital processes to determine the level of HC. This study aims to propose an indigenous knowledge human capital measurement framework and tools to monitor the HC in young generation. The framework for indigenous knowledge human capital measurement is different from frameworks used to measure HC under organizational and human resource department contexts. The framework comprises four elements to be measured—formal HC (HC processes and learning resources), tacit HC (knowledge, skills and experience), behavior HC and values of HC (attitudes to the purposes and benefits of the HC). The framework was transferred into tools for measuring. There were two questionnaires to use with elementary students and their parents. The in-depth interview session will be used to evaluate the values of HC with the students, and a learning resource checking list to evaluate a part of formal HC. The study has been conducted with design science research in order to design the framework and tools, and to evaluate the tools. The questionnaires were evaluated with reliability test by using Cronbach’ alpha coefficient with the results at 0.3 to 0.97. The study was taken place with the elementary school students at Yangdaeng School in Sanamchaikate district, Chacheonsao province in eastern region of Thailand, their parents and their teachers. Key Words: Human Capital, Human Capital Measurement, Indigenous Knowledge, Young Generation.
