Abstract: The purpose of the study is to empirically examine the role of self-efficacy in the nexus between talent management practices and adaptive performance of employees at selected banks in Ghana. The study employed an explanatory research design and a quantitative research approach. Also, a primary data from 196 randomly selected participants was attained by employing the use of survey method. Further, a second-order model was configured in SMART PLS for testing of the directional hypotheses formulated. The research findings revealed a positive association between talent management practices and adaptive performance. Also, the moderation analysis showed that self-efficacy positively moderates, however small, the positive relationship between talent management and adaptive performance. The practical implication is that the findings will urge management of the selected banks to adopt particular initiatives, i.e., ensure job demands are appropriate, improve training and professional development practices, enhance employees' self-management and improve coaching strategies that are likely to boost employees' self-efficacy in order cushion them in dealing with novel activities. By originality, this study empirically offers a Ghanaian perspective on the nexus between talent management practices and adaptive performance and self-efficacy as a moderator among employees of selected banks in the Sub-Saharan African context.

Abstract: In the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of the modern workplace, the pursuit of innovative work behaviour (IWB) has become a critical objective for organisations aiming to stay competitive. As organisations recognise the potential benefits of fostering a culture of innovation, the role of workplace humour has emerged as an intriguing factor that could significantly impact employees' willingness to engage in IWB. This paper examines the link between positive humour and IWB. 236 IT employees provided data for this study. This study implements PLS-SEM analysis to explore the relationship between workplace humour and the stimulation of IWB. The study findings reveal that there is a positive and significant association between workplace humour and IWB, providing insights into its effects on cognitive processes, creativity, and problem-solving willingness. Thus, the current study, can guide organisations in developing strategies to promote a culture that encourages humour and enhances employees' IWB.

Abstract: The study aims to identify the impact of various types of job crafting on employee performance while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic in the banking sector. After reviewing the literature and developing a conceptual model, the study used a primary data collection method in which information was gathered from around 402 employees working in the banking sector. It was found that task crafting, relational crafting, cognitive crafting, and remote working have significant impacts on employee performance while working from home during COVID-19 pandemic. It was also found that remote working mediates three aspects of job crafting and employee performance. Study constraints include size, few constructs, quantitative in nature, and one industry. Organisations should focus on developing viable policies that can enhance job crafting attributes among employees for remote work. This study adds to the knowledge by focusing on certain crafting competences that enhance employee performance while working remotely, few studies have touched on this area in such a sector, and especially in this part of the world.

Abstract: This study examines the link between financial literacy and microbusiness success for Udyam-registered ME owners in Tamil Nadu, India. It employs a cross-sectional survey involving 385 participants selected through snowball sampling. The survey covers financial literacy, technology use, business success, and demographics. Through descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling (SEM), the study identifies a significant positive connection between financial literacy and microbusiness success (beta: 0.345). Additionally, technology utilisation is found to moderate this relationship, evidenced by a significant interaction between financial literacy and technology use. Education and business location also impact microbusiness success significantly. The research enhances understanding of financial literacy's role in microbusiness success in Tamil Nadu, providing practical insights for stakeholders aiming to foster regional microenterprise growth. The study underscores the significance of financial literacy and technology adoption, suggesting targeted interventions for enhancing microbusiness success. SEM offers a comprehensive approach, unravelling the intricate dynamics that influence microbusiness prosperity.

Abstract: The study starts with a definition of psychosocial competencies, which cover a wide variety of interpersonal, intrapersonal, and emotional skills necessary for successful functioning in the workplace. Based on current research and industry best practices, the comparative analysis examines the various benchmarking frameworks and approaches for psychosocial competencies. It examines the benefits and drawbacks of several strategies, including behavioural assessments, peer evaluations, and self-evaluations. The findings demonstrate the advantages of benchmarking psychosocial competencies in programs for talent development. These skills support enhanced teamwork, more employee engagement, and improved organisational performance. Data collection is online questionnaire is used to collect data. The sampling size used to collect for this study is 220. The paper also discusses potential obstacles to benchmarking psychological competencies, such as the subjectivity of assessments, the requirement for continual evaluation, and the significance of striking a balance between individual and organisational objectives. In this research, the authors find that benchmarking psychosocial abilities can reveal important information about how various organisations handle their talent.
