Abstract: The integration of digital technology into diverse industries and service sectors is
revolutionizing workplaces and reshaping human resource practices. The incorporation of
cutting-edge technologies associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution, commonly known as
Industry 4.0, is redefining the dynamics of work, learning, leadership, management, recruitment,
and interpersonal interactions. This paper aims to provide an in-depth understanding of Industry
4.0 and its implications on human resource management (HRM), promoting directions for HRM
professionals and academics to confront the challenges associated with Industry 4.0. The study
utilized a methodology of bibliometrics analysis including network analysis, co-citation network,
historiography, cluster analysis, three-field analysis, thematic map, and content analysis (CA)
to analyze 269 documents from the Scopus database to identify hitherto research on this topic
of HRM and industry 4.0. Additionally, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to
propose future research directions in industry 4.0 and HRM practices. The findings suggest that
the focus of research in this field is on the impact of Industry 4.0 on various HRM functions such
as recruitment, selection, orientation, training and development, performance analysis, and
compensation management for human capital acquisition, nurturing, and retention. The study
offers managerial insights for organizations to navigate the evolving landscape and leverage
digital technology for enhanced HR functions, thereby effectively managing their workforce.

Abstract: This study aims to find out the relationship between Green Human Resource
Management (GHRM) and Employee Eco-friendly Behavior (EEB) and the mediating role
of Employee Organizational Commitment (EOC) in this relationship. Presently, many issues
of Green HRM have an impact on organizations, i.e., environmental idea-sharing programs,
participation of employees in environment management, use of green performance indicators,
and the use of functional teams to implement environmental plans and strategies. There is a
positive trend among businesses to start reporting the performance of Green HRM. It has collected
data from 242 employees of private commercial banks. A self-administered questionnaire has
been distributed among the participants. It has used a bootstrapping procedure to estimate the
path coefficient within reflective PLS-SEM. The findings of this research indicate that employee
organizational commitment fully mediates the relationship between Green HRM and Employee
Eco-friendly Behavior. It accentuates the application of green human resource practices to
ensure employee organizational commitment that ultimately results in the environment-friendly
behavior of employees

Impact of Wages and Social Compliance on Employee Job
Satisfaction in the Readymade Garments Industry of Bangladesh:
The Mediating Role of Employee Motivation
Md. Rabiul Islam, PhD1

Received on 27th March 2023, Accepted on 2nd July 2023, Publised on 31st Dec 2023

Abstract: Despite rapid expansion, the ready-made garments (RMG) sector in Bangladesh
is struggling to keep its workers satisfied. The purpose of this research is to examine the
intermediary function of employee motivation in the relationship between wages and social
compliance and job satisfaction in Bangladesh’s RMG sector. This study’s overarching goal is
to examine the mediating function of employee motivation in the connection between wages,
social compliance, employee motivation, and employee job satisfaction in the RMG sector of
Bangladesh. This study uses a quantitative methodology, collecting data from 475 workers in
the Bangladeshi garments sector, and analyzes it with partial least squares structural equation
modeling (PLS-SEM). A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data, and SmartPLS
4.0 was used for statistical analysis. The results show that wages and social compliance have
a beneficial influence on worker drive and contentment. In addition, in the RMG sector of
Bangladesh, the connection between pay, societal conformity, and job satisfaction is mediated
by employees’ levels of motivation. The study suggests that RMG factories should focus on
providing fair wages and ensuring social compliance to improve employee motivation and job
satisfaction. Additionally, it is recommended that management should encourage employee
motivation through training and development programs, recognition, and rewards to enhance
job satisfaction.

Abstract: Reels and Shorts are game-changing features that allow users to upload short video
clips and video graphics backed up by AI (Artificial Intelligence) and VR (Virtual reality) filters
with a video length of 15 seconds to 90 seconds. Although the features are adopted by both
influencers and regular users, brands are not thoroughly applying these features in raising
awareness and engagement due to the limited research on the field. The study focuses on the
significance of social media reels and shorts in brand promotion and boosting growth creating a
competitive edge. The study has implied the qualitative case study approach for determining the
effectiveness of reels and shorts in the corporate realm. The data was identified and collected
based on “grounded theory” where the data was collected from observing and studying the use
of reels and short of Netflix and analyzing the significance of the study at hand. By analyzing
the patterns of Netflix’s TikTok and Meta accounts posting, this article identifies that brands can
boost both engagement and conversion by the use of reels and shorts as promotional tools. The
research also outlines that brands can boost their promotion by two-fold co-existing their brand
presence in both reels and shorts. Furthermore, brands should also use the platforms, tailoring
the targeted demographics. As Instagram reels get around 22% engagement rate and TikTok
shorts get around 18% of the engagement rate, brands should tailor their millennial segment
through the Instagram Reels and iGen or the Generation Z segment through TikTok shorts.

Abstract: This study aimed to explore the effect of four dimensions of psychosocial safety climate
(PSC) on organizational citizenship behaviour toward individuals (OCBI) and organizations
(OCBO) of operator-level employees of the ready-made garment (RMG) industry in
Bangladesh. Despite having plenteous research in the PSC and OCB literature, the development
of theoretical models and validation were the gaps that required attempts to investigate the
role of specific dimensions of PSC on the employees’ positive behavioural outcomes. The study
followed quantitative, co-relational and cross-sectional approaches to examine the responses of
327 sample participants. The population of this study was all operating employees of the RMG
organizations registered with BGMEA located in Dhaka. The study collected data through a
structured questionnaire following the survey method. The present study developed a theoretical
model and employed the PLS-SEM technique to justify the reliability and validity (convergent
and discriminant) of the measurement model and test the study hypotheses through the structural
model assessment. The study employed SPSS v.20 and Smart PLS v.3.3.3 for common method
variance and the descriptive and inferential statistical assessments. The study results supported
six hypotheses out of eight and unveiled that the employees’ perception of three dimensions of
PSC (PSCMS, PSCOC and PSCOP) had positive impacts on OCBI and OCBO. Besides, the
other two hypotheses were not supported by the study results, where the impacts of PSCMP on
OCBI and OCBO were examined. The study discussed its findings in alignment with previous
research reports and presented suggestions for future researchers and practitioners. This study
poses theoretical implications in developing and corroborating a new conceptual model in PSC
and OCB literature that cover the impact of each dimension of PSC on employees’ OCBI and
OCBO. The findings of this study will contribute practically by sending a message to the higher
authority of Bangladeshi RMG organizations that the employees’ psychosocial well-being
oriented managerial support, communication, and participation will persuade the employees to
expose the greater extent of OCB.
