SMEs are a very important economic sector in almost all countries. Not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. The reason is, this sector contributes greatly to economic growth, especially to the GDP and employment. Therefore, all governments give a big support to the growth of this sector to contribute even more. The purpose of organizations including SMEs is to increase value for their stakeholders. Therefore, every manager tries hard to improve the performance of his company. In theory, one of the factors that influence organizational performance is HRM practice  (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014). However, experts argue that the relationship of HRM practices with organizational performance is an indirect relationship. Therefore, it is important to think about what variables can mediate this relationship. In the literature it is mentioned that human capital can act as a mediating variable in the relationship between HRM practices and organizational performance. Howe...

This research aims to investigate the role of HC mediation and individual performance in the relationship of MSDM practice with organizational performance in the context of IMK. To achieve this goal, a set of questionnaires was distributed to 300 respondents. They consist of 40 entrepreneurs and 260 craftsmen selected with multi-stage random sampling techniques. The collected data is analyzed by the SEM-PLS method. Data analysis results in that (1) MSDM practices have a positive and significant effect on HC, individual performance, and organizational performance, (2) HC and individual performance mediate the relationship of MSDM practice with organizational performance. The findings of this study have implications for the theory that the relationship of MSDM practice with organizational performance is increasingly clarified. This finding suggests that IMK actors, especially those engaged in the Jambi batik industry, to further streamline HC development and improve individual perform...

Organizational performance is an important issue for researchers and managers including managers in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) for it can be the indicator of success. It also provides accurate information for startegic decision making.Many factors influence organizational performance. One of them is knowledge management (KM) practices. Theoretically and empirically, effective KM practices improve performance. Many researches have been conducted in regard of HEI performance. Unfortunately, in the context of private HEIs in the City of Jambi, the literature and empirical evidences are very rare. This current research aims to fill the gap. It also aims to examine its link with organizational performance. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaire to randomly-selected lecturers and employees. Further, the data was analyzed with regression analysis by applying SPSS V.26. The result shows that knowledge dissemination and knowledge storage system partially and simultenously affect organizational performance. Interestingly, the constanta value in the regression model is negative. This implies that performance might be decreased if KM is not implemented. Then, it is suggested to private HEI operators especially those in the City of Jambi implement KM.

HRM practices have a significant effect on organizational performance. If HRM practices are effective, organizational performance will improve. This applies not only to large organizations but also to small organizations. However, in the literature of management, it was stated that the relationship of HRM practices with organizational performance is not yet clear (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014). There is a missing link (Yang & Lin, 2009) or black box (Huselid, 1995) in this connection. Therefore, researchers need to think about mediating factors. In theory, human capital can mediate these relationships because human capital has links both with HRM practices and with organizational performance. Various studies have been conducted to prove this relationship. However, researchers focus more on large organizations. In the context of small organizations, especially in Indonesia, this kind of research is rarely done. As a result, the literature on HRM practices, human capital, and organizational performance in the context of small businesses, especially in Indonesia, is very rarely found. This paper aims to discuss the effect of HRM practices and human capital on organizational performance in the context of MSMEs in Indonesia in the hope of adding resources in this context.

Today, competition among private universities (read private higher education institutions) to attract prospective students has become much tougher. The competition is not only among the private universities themselves but also between them and the public ones. The main cause of this competition is that prospective students are now becoming much more selective in choosing universities. In fact, public universities are the first choice of the prospective students. Consequently, private universities must equip themselves with strong competitiveness. Otherwise, they will lose the competition. One of the strategies to gain the competitiveness is to develop the lecturers. According to research findings, lecturer professionalism is one of the elements that prospective students highly demand. This paper discusses about how to develop university lecturers. The development model suggested in this paper is the one that is based on the concept of AMO performance.

One of the crucial and classical problems faced by English teachers in Indonesia is lesson planning. For several past decades. many models of teaching have been introduced. Even, in line with the implemention of K'13, a teaching model is also introduced to English teachers. However, based on my observations, out of the many teaching models, none has been satisfactory to teachers. Usually. teachers' confusion emmerges every time a new model is introduced. As a result, students' English learning outcomes are unsatisfatory as well. Through this paper, I would like to propose a simple model, which, in this paper, is called a Creative Teaching Model, which, I think, can be an alternative solution to teachers' problem in preparing a lesson. I believe that this model can bring about optimum teaching success due to the simplicity and effectiveness of this teaching model. For this, I have several reasons. First, this model applies simple procedure. Only within six steps, teac...

Many factors affect the relationship of management and performance both in the context of profit and non-profit organization. One of the factors is culture. Researches have shown that culture may mediate or moderate the relationship. This current research investigates the moderating role of culture on the relationship of performance management and working performance of lecturers of Batanghari University. For this, a survey was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to 36 respondents randomly selected. MRA (moderated regression analysis) was used to analyze the data. The simple regression analysis (before culture added) found that performance management practices have a significant effect on lecturer performance with 67.5% of determinant coefficient. MRA analysis (after culture added), the determinant coefficient becomes 69%, meaning there is an increase of 1.5%. F-test shows that Sig. = 0.000 is smaller than ? = 0.05, indicating that the increase is considered significant. From ...

The contributions/outputs of this study are in the form of a map of the research area, a synthesis...

Training does not always directly contribute to employee performance, especially in the context of small organizations. Therefore, researchers must take a mediation approach.
