2025-04-16T03:07:18+07:00

Introduction/Main Objectives: The phenomenon of the increasing need for work flexibility in various countries has prompted many organizations to adopt flexitime work systems. This study aims to examine publication related to flexitime and its associations with work-life balance, jo satisfaction, and employee well-being, with a specific emphasis on female employees. Background Problems: The publication trend on flexitime has fluctuated from 1976 to 2024, with minimal publications before 1990. Since the early 2000s, the number of publications has steadily increased, driven by heightened attention to work-life balance and the evolving dynamics of the workforce. Novelty: Unlike previous studies, this research specifically examines the evolution of flexitime publications and quantitatively maps its research connections using bibliometric analysis. Research Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using data from the Scopus database, analyzing 92 publications from 1976 to 2024. VOSviewer was used to visualize research trends in publication frequency, country contributions, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrences. Finding/Results: The study reveals a significant rise in flexitime research since the early 2000s, correlating with increased discussions on work-life balance and employee well-being. The bibliometric analysis highlights key research clusters and gaps in existing literature. Conclusion: Flexitime research has evolved significantly, reflecting its growing importance in workforce management. However, significant gaps remain in understanding the challenges associated with implementation, the role of government policies, and the integration of technology and digital tools. Future reseach should address these issues to foster a more flexible, inclusive, and productive work environment.

Introduction/Main Objectives: This study examines the growing phenomenon of job hopping among millennials, driven by the need for work-life balance, flexibility, and career development. It further analyzes the implications of frequent job transitions for both organizations and individual employees Background Problems: The job hopping phenomenon that is rampant among millennials, driven by career dissatisfaction and lack of work flexibility, has resulted in high recruitment costs, unstable work culture, and decreased work productivity. Novelty: Uses bibliometric analysis, this study adopts a methodological approach that has not been widely used in previous research to examine the phenomenon of job hopping among millennials. This report maps research patterns since 2018, finds gaps in the long-term effects of job hopping, and provides recommendations for employers in creating data-driven employee retention strategies using data from VOSviewer and Scopus. Research Methods: The methods used in this study include descriptive methods and quantitative methods. This study also uses Scopus publication data and VOSviewer software for bibliometric analysis, including co-occurrence, temporal trends, and keyword networks. Finding/Results: The results indicate that dominant themes in the literature include career development, work flexibility, and job satisfaction. They also highlight a growing research focus on job hopping since 2018, particularly in countries such as the United States, India, and the United Kingdom. Conclusion: This study provides practical implications in the form of data-based employee retention strategy recommendations to reduce turnover (job hopping) and increase loyalty, while also offering insights for further research on the long-term impact of job hopping.

Human Resource Management In Corruption Prevention: A Systematic Review

2025-01-07T03:34:35+07:00

Background Problems: Corruption remains a serious and widespread issue worldwide. It hinders economic development, erodes public trust, and weakens organizational and institutional integrity. The 2023 Corruption Perception Index highlights major disparities between countries, with Denmark ranked as the least corrupt and Somalia as the most corrupt. These differences emphasize the need for effective anti-corruption strategies, particularly in nations with fragile governance systems. Despite this urgency, HRM is often underutilized as a tool in addressing corruption. Novelty: This study offers a fresh perspective by framing HRM not just as an administrative support system, but as a central player in building ethical behavior and reducing corruption risks. It departs from the dominant legal and institutional focus in existing literature by emphasizing internal, human-centric approaches such as organizational culture and values. Research Methods: The study employs a systematic literature review method. It identifies, analyzes, and synthesizes academic research that explores how HRM practices—such as ethics training, awareness programs, and value-based leadership can contribute to corruption prevention. Finding/Results: The review shows that HRM practices, when integrated with ethics-oriented initiatives, can help organizations develop internal mechanisms that promote accountability, ethical decision-making, and a strong culture of integrity. Conclusion: Incorporating anti-corruption principles into HRM policies is a sustainable and strategic approach. Ethical HR practices not only strengthen organizational culture but also contribute to national anti-corruption goals and broader social welfare.
