Although there are three seasons for paddy production in Barind area, traditionally boro season is used for paddy production in most of the agricultural lands. Irrigation for cultivating paddy is indispensable for which the most convenient source of water is the surface water, but surface water source already has reached to an alarming level from the viewpoint of its availability in this region wherein only four months are attributed as the wet season allowing irrigation using surface water sources, and the rest of the year, that is, during the dry season for irrigation the farmers are to rely entirely on groundwater (GW), which is comparatively costly and limited. The main purpose of this study is to reveal and evaluate the sustainability status and management practices in the use of GW for irrigation in Barind tract of Bangladesh. It started with an endeavour to study legislative measures and framework in GW management for irrigation followed by an assessment of perceptions and examination of the participation of the farmers as well as local government officials in the execution of their action plans to address key management issues and drivers with a view to coming up with a sustainable strategic management approach applicable in the study area and other parts of the Barind tract of Bangladesh, thereby ensuring the obtainability of services of natural resources for the next generations.--- This Thesis is Submitted to the Department of Management studies , University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://rulrepository.ru.ac.bd/handle/123456789/1088 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z http://rulrepository.ru.ac.bd/handle/123456789/1079 Industrial Relations in Ready-Made Garment Industry of Bangladesh Uddin, Md. Shawan The Ready-made Garment (RMG) sector has opened opportunities for employment to many individuals in direct and indirect economic activities that ultimately support social growth, empowerment of women and alleviation of poverty in the world. The RMG industry acts as a catalyst for the development of Bangladesh. The Made in Bangladesh tag has also brought glory for the country, making it a prestigious brand across the world. Bangladesh, which was once termed by cynics a bottomless basket, has now become a basket full of wonders. Sound industrial relations (IRs) among the four actors such as trade unions (TUs), employers, government agents (GAs) and international buyers (IBs) of RMG industry makes this basket with full of wonders. The industrial situation which is usually termed as IRs describing the functional relationships that prevail due to the interactions among the actors. This study highlights the identification of the specific actors in IRs in RMG industry of Bangladesh and their roles. This study also focuses on the relative importance of the actors in establishing a sound IRs in the sector. This study uses the strategic choice theory to measure the relationships among the roles of the actors and resultant IRs in the RMG industry of Bangladesh..............

These preferences emphasize the importance of overall system reliability, including the reliability of production systems, skills and knowledge-based machine operations, tools handling techniques of materials, a wide variety of value-adding processes, and management functions. Every organization's performance and quality goals are significantly enhanced by the capability and proper use of its human capital. Also, because of the comprehensive technological development in the recent past, RMG, as a labor-intensive industry, appears to have proper HRM practices with quality efficiency, consistency, and optimal values. This research aims to report the findings of a study testing the relationship between human resource (HR) strategies and firm performance in the RMG sector of Bangladesh. Also, this research presented the influence of employee commitment as a mediator. The strategies for human resources in Bangladesh are increasingly important at the RMG, as this business must protect its business prosperity in the global competition. The RBV theory is the theoretical framework for HR policy in recent times, in which it has been assumed that rare, invaluable, and favorable tools can have competitive advantages. The present study utilized a quantitative methodology, precisely defined as an explanatory (deductive-reasoning) and correlational research. The researcher also applied a cross­sectional survey within the Bangladeshi garments arena as well. A survey-based design with various measures (survey instruments) was used to assess top management's perceptions of HR strategy, employee commitment, and firm performance. A web-based survey was mailed to 750 employees of the selected industrial unit, and 344 responses were collected to confirm the required responses. To arrive at the thesis goals, four significant hypotheses have been established. The suggested theories have been evaluated using structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM studies backed four observations. There were two critical findings of the study. First, all HR strategies are positively connected to firm performance, aside from the internal career ladders. Furthennore, the association between HR (except in the Internal Career ladder) and firm perfonnance mediates substantially with employees' affective commitment. The results of this study offer useful lessons in many aspects by promoting and expanding theory and analysis. This study started by focusing on human resources, in particular, management practice for personnel services in the enterprise with resource-based perspectives and the framework for social exchange. In this study, the elements or mechanisms affecting employee strategies, engagement, and outcomes are also analyzed and defined. The theories were tested using empirical evidence to explain whether the results match the models proposed. According to this analysis's findings, most of the hypotheses have been confirmed by the empirical test based on participants' data. It offers an overview of the history and implications of HR strategies, employee commitment, and firm performance as research variables. It, therefore, contributes to the HR literature in order to connect employee commitment with firm performance. The study also contributes to organizational and HRM literature by analyzing the guided meditation effects of employee emotional commitment to the direct connection between HR strategies and firm performance. This work also explores an undeveloped definition of employee emotional engagement and adds to organizational research literature to investigate HR strategy's effects on firm performance in the context of Bangladesh.
