Covid 19 was a black swan event which led to working from home
emerging as the new normal at a global level. As HRM scholars we
aim to understand this phenomenon from both an employee and
employer perspective, while drawing on the UN's sustainable
development goals (SDGs) which aspire for a fairer and more
inclusive world for people and the planet. At the individual level
of analysis there are chapters on conflicts between work and home
life, differing levels of motivation, workplace loneliness and the
work preferences of introverts and extraverts. At the
organizational level questions are raised about the effects on
profitability, organizational resilience, and the ability of
organizations to remain innovative. How can employees be managed in
terms of mentoring, role modelling and how can they be monitored
for purposes of appraisal reviews? Chapters include the
romanticization of WFH, a case study of shared leadership in Vienna
and WFH amongst start-ups in India. In this edited book,
researchers from the Global North and the Global south answer these
questions, while making a seminal contribution to the field of HRM
from a work from home perspective. This is an essential read not
just for scholars and students of management, but also for those
from the domains of psychology and sociology, and also for policy
makers. This book has long-term relevance given that recent polls
indicate that as a fallout of Covid-19, many employees the world
over are showing a preference for a hybrid model of work -
partially at the brick-and-mortar office and partially from home.
The Global North and Global South are in different stages of the
journeys towards a sustainable future. The Global North is focusing
on cutting carbon emissions and discussing “de-growth”, whilst
large parts of the Global South are still struggling to move out of
poverty, increasing their carbon emissions in many places. This
division must be addressed through education, understanding the
division and providing possible solutions. Higher Education
Institutions (HEI) should take on a leadership role in shaping
young minds through education and research to foster an enhanced
perception of the variances in sustainability approaches of the
Global North and Global South. Presenting chapters from an
international set of contributors, this collection provides
practical insights that inform practice, focusing on two themes:
the design of HEI curricula; and a specific focus on Global North
and Global South divide in addressing social and political
differences, and the role that HEIs can play in addressing the
divide. Higher Education for the Sustainable Development Goals is a
must read for policymakers and researchers, learners, and
management teams at HEIs.
Industrial Revolution 4.0 is upon us, with disruptive technology
rapidly changing our personal and professional lives. In this
climate it is not clear how organization reorganization will take
place and there is haziness over the strategic HRM required to
attract, develop, and retain talent. This book shines a light on
the rapidly changing work landscape by bringing together
international expert contributors, who address issues such as the
long-term effects of artificial intelligence and block chain
technologies on the firm and on human resources, and deliberate on
the effects Industrial Revolution 4.0 is likely to have on both
emerging economies and developed countries. A number of fundamental
questions are asked: Will HR managers perceive IT as a supporting
adjunct or a core operational department? Will man and machine
co-exist, or will artificial intelligence have more ominous
implications for humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? In
other words, is HRM 4.0 an opportunity, a transient phase, or an
impending threat? Human and Technological Resource Management is a
must read for students and scholars of HRM, as well as anyone
interested in the future of technology in the workplace
Cloud based E-Learning is one of the booming technologies in IT
field which brings powerful e-learning products with the help of
cloud power. Cloud technology has numerous advantages over the
existing traditional E-Learning systems. But at the same time,
security is a major concern in cloud based e-learning. So security
measures are unavoidable to prevent the loss of users' valuable
data from the security vulnerabilities. Cloud based e-learning
products also need to satisfy the security needs of customers and
overcome various security threats which attack valuable data stored
in cloud servers. So the study investigates various security issues
involved in cloud based e-learning technology with an aim to
suggest solutions in the form of security measures and security
management standards. These will help to overcome the security
threats in cloud based e-learning technology. To achieve our thesis
aim, we used theoretical and empirical studies. Empirical study is
made through the information gathered through various cloud based
e-learning solution vendors websites. And the theoretical study is
made through the text analysis on various research articles related
to our subject areas.
