Understanding the relationship among compensation management, career development opportunities, and employee continuance commitment is crucial for fostering a productive and engaged workforce. Organizations that excel in compensation management are more likely to invest in their employees’ career opportunities. This study aims to examine the influence of career development opportunities on the relationship between compensation management and continuance commitment among the employees of Nepalese commercial banks. To achieve this objective, data were collected from 404 respondents using a structured questionnaire administered through a convenience sampling technique. The respondents included employees at the manager, officer, and assistant levels working in different commercial banks. The collected data were analyzed using Process Macro 4 at a 95% confidence interval with 5,000 bootstrapping samples. The results indicate that career development opportunities have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between compensation management and employees’ continuance commitment. This study demonstrates that organizations that are proficient in compensation management practices not only prioritize investing in their employees’ career growth but also enhance employees’ commitment to achieving organizational goals. This study further highlights the role of career development opportunities in strengthening the relationship between compensation management and employees’ psychological bonds to stay with the organization.

Banks and Bank Systems Volume 18, 2023 Issue #2 pp. 177-188 Views: 858 Downloads: 555 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯAttaining customer satisfaction and loyalty is seen as a prerequisite for successful bank management. The purpose of the study is to identify and explain the mechanism through which e-banking quality is related to loyalty by including satisfaction as a mediating variable in South Africa. The study adopts a descriptive research design and a quantitative mediation analysis. The data collected through SurveyMonkey comprised a sample of 310 participants who used online banking. The results of the mediation analysis confirm that e-banking quality has a considerable and positive effect on customer satisfaction, which in turn has a significant and positive effect on loyalty in e-banking. The direct effect of e-banking quality on loyalty is also confirmed. Furthermore, the study’s findings show that the quality of e-banking has a significant and favorable indirect effect on loyalty, as mediated by customer satisfaction. Because the direct effect of e-banking quality on loyalty remained significant after the satisfaction intervention/mediation in the model, the mediation is regarded as partial. The findings of this study offer essential marketing guidance for banking professionals who design and implement e-banking solutions for their customers.

Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 21, 2023 Issue #2 pp. 667-681 Views: 726 Downloads: 201 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯWith increased business intricacies, human resource (HR) managers must possess relevant competencies to meet market demands. The study investigates the relationship among HR competencies, innovative HR practices, and organizational effectiveness. It also conducts an importance-performance analysis for HR competencies to identify the skill gap. A structured questionnaire comprising 31 questions was used to measure various components of HR competencies, innovative HR practices, and organizational effectiveness. 247 HR managers working in various companies in Tamil Nadu are selected based on a purposive sampling technique. Importance-performance analysis was carried out for items and dimensions of HR competencies. Confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and mediation analysis using regressions are further carried out on the collected data. The skill gap analysis revealed that the abilities to use the latest insights in various HR practices, co-craft strategic agenda, align the company’s activities with customer needs, and connect people through technology must be improved. The regression results indicated that the competencies of the strategic positioner, credible architect, capacity builder, and technology proponent are needed to improve organizational effectiveness. The innovative HR practices partially mediated the relationship between HR competencies and organizational effectiveness. The study meets the literature gap in the area of the contribution of HR managers toward organizational effectiveness through their competencies and the adoption of HR practices.

This study investigates how various service quality dimensions affect customer satisfaction in commercial banks across Nepal. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of key service quality dimensions (responsiveness, empathy, assurance, communication, and overall service quality) on customer satisfaction in commercial banks in Nepal. A survey-based quantitative approach was employed, collecting data from 399 customers in Nepal. The study utilizes multiple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing to determine the relationship between these factors and customer satisfaction. The results indicate that communication, assurance, and service quality positively influence customer satisfaction, with a moderate mean score of 2.317949 out of 5 and moderate variability (SD = 0.479612). These three factors are key contributors, accounting for 41.5% of the variation in satisfaction, whereas empathy and responsiveness have weaker or insignificant impacts. The study concludes that enhancing communication and service quality is crucial for improving customer satisfaction, which is essential for sustainable growth in Nepal’s financial sector.
