Name : An Empirical Study on The Brand Equity of State Bank of India using Aaker Model
Author : Dr. Ranjana Tiwari,Mr. Amarpreet Singh
Abstract :
Purpose: This research paper aimed to investigate the relationship between brand equity components and the customer satisfaction level. This paper also tried to understand the brand equity of the State Bank of India and the factors which affect the State Bank of India's brand equity.

Design:

An expansive review of literature was done which created the framework of the research. The Aaker model (Aaker, 1991), a pre tested method was used to perform the research. A total of 160 respondents within Bangalore, India were asked to fill in the questionnaire. To determine significant difference between gender of respondent and customer satisfaction level, one sample t test was used by the researchers, whilst Multiple Regression Analysis was used to determine relationships between brand equity components and customer satisfaction.

Findings:

The study showed that overall; the State Bank of India had a positive brand image. Respondents were majorly agreeing with the statements provided in the survey. This was followed by a majority of people with no opinion on the questions asked. In the end over half of the respondents were satisfied with the bank, but, had complaints such as ATM's having shortage of cash and employee attitude towards customers, being the most common.

Implications:

This study shows that the State Bank of India is going on a positive path in terms of their marketing efforts. However to improve, SBI can take heed to improving the customer facing employees and their ATMS. This research lays down a foundation for future research being conducted into the same field, as well as shows a realistic situation of how SBI's brand image is perceived by the public.

Name : High Performance Work System and Employee Commitment: An Empirical Study of Ex-Cadre Employees of Civil Bureaucracy
Author : Arfan Ali ,Bilal Shahid Cheema,Qamar Shahzadi ,Sidra Mubeen
Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to explore perception of Ex-cadre employees of civil bureaucracy regarding relationship of high performance work systems (HPWS) and employee commitment with mediating role of public service motivation (PSM) and moderating impact of role clarity. Data were collected from Ex-cadre employees through cross sectional research design. For thispurpose180civil servants were approached with response rate of 92%.Convenience non-probability sampling technique was used. Data have been analyzed through structural equation modeling by using Smart PLS 3.2.0 software. The results supported the argument that HPWS has a significant impact upon employee commitment directly and indirectly through public service motivation. The interaction of PSM and role clarity was not proved in predicting employee commitment in civil servants. This study followed a cross sectional research design, which does not allow drawing a casual inference. Longitudinal data might provide unique contribution. Social exchange relations were tested form static rather than dynamic perspective, thus longitudinal data might bring different findings. Data from multiple sources might be interesting to explore new insights. Cluster sampling from the various segments can also be area for future avenues. Other potential mediators and moderators can also be tested in future. This study suggests that in order to improve service delivery process policy makers should focus on HPWS which increase the public service motivation and employee commitment of ex-cadre employees. This study has documented the perception of ex-cadre employees of civil bureaucracy, which have received a little attention of researchers in the past. The moderating impact of role clarity has also been tested between the relationship of public service motivation and employee commitment.

Author : Muhammad Abrar,Mohsin Bashir, Naila Nureen,Qamar Shahzadi
Abstract :
Round the globe workplace incivility is considered as devastating issue and its prevalence is documented across all disciplines. However, perception of newly graduated nurses in South Asian context has been ignored at large. This investigation explored perception of newly graduated nurses about workplace incivility and its consequences on their professional as well as personal life. Present study was conducted in the public sector hospitals in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. Data was collected through qualitative interviews and ten newly graduated nurses were approached for in-depth discussion. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Respondents revealed their experiences of workplace incivility which they faced during working hours. Patients, patient's attendants, and doctors were reported as a source of harassment and incivility by the burses. Newly graduated nurses confirmed that they faced verbal abuse in morning shifts usually and physical assault in the night shifts. They also reported depression, work-family conflicts, less job satisfaction, inefficient work performance, increase turnover intention, absenteeism and s post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due workplace incivility. They also reported that their higher management never motivated them to report incidents of incivility. Results showed a vivid picture about growing ratio of incivility towards nurses and this situation demands prudential measures by hospitals management to prevent and control the workplace incivility.

The data is collected for 379 banks from Bank scope database. The data for this paper includes post crisis period ranging from 2011 to 2016. Linear regression panel-corrected standard errors approach is used to find consistent estimators. The results confirm that liquidity is negatively influencing bank capital in medium size banks while small banks are positively impacted by liquidity. The overall risk has positive effect on bank capital in all banks which is consistent with regulatory hypothesis. The findings also prove that market funding, banks size and real gross domestic product have negative effect on bank capital.
