Efikasi Diri, Pusat Kendali, dan Persepsi Tenaga Kerja sebagai Prediktor Pencapaian Prestasi Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja

This research was focused on the relationship between worker's behavior with Occupational Health Safety (OHS) achievement.The purposes of the research is to identify whether worker's self-efficacy, locus of control and perception can predict OHS achievement, and to examine whether the OHS model engaging workers and work environment interaction are fit. This research was cross sectionally conducted towards 200 respondents in one of plywood plant in West Kalimantan. The independent variable were the worker'sself efficacy, locus of control and perception, while the dependent variable was OHS performance. The moderator variables were physical and chemical work environment. Data analysis used structural equation model. Research findings showed that self efficacy and worker perception have significantly positive relationship with worker's OHS performance, and could be an accurate predictor to predict OHS performance achievement (p=0.007 and p=0.012), and provided effective contribution to OHS performance as big as 20,2 % and 17,3 % as well

Training in Libyan Hotels: A case study analysis

This study explores through a mixed methods qualitative-oriented case study investigation the training policies, plans, and practices of the public sector Social Security Fund Investments Company (SSFIC), which owns the major hotels in several Libyan cities. The Only internationally owned hotel in the country when the research commenced in 2007, the Corinthia Bab Africa Hotel (CBAH), provides a private sector comparison. It is the first such review of training activities within a country aiming to become an internationally competitive tourism destination. A case study approach using different data sources is well adapted to situations where previous theoretical studies are few and field experience is still limited (Yin, 2003). During three field trips to Libya a) documents including training policies and plans were collected; b) Three different surveys were distributed to three target groups in the two hotel businesses compared: trainees, training managers, and trainers; c) Semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers responsible for training to obtain clarifying comments and operational observations; d) On-site personal observations were noted. The questionnaire design and overall analysis was based on an operational framework that followed the pre-training, during- training and post-training stages of the systematic training cycle. The supporting theoretical framework was derived from the ADDIE model but with greater focus being given to transfer of training. Cultural considerations within Libya and the Arab world, as well as findings from other studies within the sector, were also taken into account when interpreting the data and drawing conclusions. Cultural aspects include: the influence of Islamic values; the poor image of work in hotels, especially for women; and the role of wasta on decision-making. Despite the majority of SSFIC staff attending training courses over the period of the study, major issues are identified, many of which also face the whole Libyan hotel sector. Sector-based issues include: skills shortages; lack of qualified local trainers; low employee salaries and lack of cooperation between public, private and governmental sectors. SSFIC training specific issues include: insufficient training needs analysis; absence of review of course relevance to trainees; inadequate practical training; lack of post-course training incentives;. To overcome these difficulties, the study proposes a number of focused recommendations. In conclusion the study draws upon the evidence collected to suggest the Libyan approach to National Human Resource Development (NHRD). It corroborates most of the findings of a recent parallel study done into the Libyan banking sector and provides additional categories to support the conclusion that Libya is moving towards a centralised-transitional approach

The Rate of Adoption of Formalised Strategic Marketing Planning (FSMP) by the Libyan Commercial Banks (LCBs): An Exploratory Study

The purpose of this thesis is to understand and explore the foundations of FSMP process in the banking industry. The primary research objectives are: to identify the managerial and performance related benefits of an FSMP approach; to understand the process of FSMP practice in the LCBs; to analyse the impact of contextual factors (internal and external factors) on the current state of development of an FSMP approach in the LCBs; and to conclude as to the potential benefits of an enhanced rate of FSMP adoption and recommend how it would best be achieved. It is important here to confirm that the research was carried out prior to the events in Libya in February 2011. Since the ideas for this research were based on the reality within the largest commercial banks situated in Libya, an interpretive approach was considered the appropriate option to address the research questions posed. Therefore, this study opted for a realistic approach because of its exploratory power and its adequacy to reveal the underlying causes of FSMP within this industry. To address the research objectives the survey strategy has chosen to answer the research questions. The combination of qualitative, quantitative techniques and archival data suggested by the interpretive philosophy and deductive approach is used for the reasons given above. The descriptive statistic analysis is used to analyse the structured questionnaires, and the pattern matching and coding analysis is utilised in order to analyse the semi-structured interviews. The major findings revealed that comprehensive strategic plans are in place, but that the processes by which they are created have significant limitations. In addition, FSMP in the LCBs is still evolving and that it is, currently, in growth. In terms of marketing lifecycle, marketing in LCBs is in its infancy stage, it was found, contrary to expectations that marketing departments have only been established recently. For this reason a number of barriers to FSMP were found. Based on these results, LCBs need to be aware of the strengths that they have and consider how to take advantage of them to capture the current opportunities in the Libyan market, without allowing their weaknesses and limitations to threaten their future and impede the banks' full potential. The main contributions of the current research are: understanding of the process of FSMP that is being introduced into LCBs; determining the contextual factors that affect the implementation of FSMP; identifying the major barriers to the success of the implementation of FSMP and providing a practical framework for FSMP in the LCBs in order to enhance its success
