- ItemA Review of Methodological Choices in Green Human Resource Management Research(Nsbm Green University, 2022-11-25) De Silva, K.The paper presents a methodological review of Green Human Resource Management (Green HRM) research published from the year 2017 to 2022. Applying content analysis with systematically selected 18 journal articles, it reviews methodological choices of empirical studies done in the field of Green HRM based on research design, methods of sampling, methods of data collection, variable measurement, validity, and reliability and methods of data analysis. Findings disclosed a variety of methodological choices utilized by researchers in Green HRM. Many of the studies followed quantitative approach with cross-sectional design. Lack of qualitative research was found in the field, and they followed grounded theory approach. Noteworthy methodological gaps were discovered that could inspirit future studies. This review fills the absence of methodological reviews done in Green HRM research and provides an increased comprehension of the methodological stances in current research. Further it provides important future directions to the methodological advancement of Green HRM research.
- ItemA Review of Methodological choices relating to Employee Turnover in Female Dominant Service Industries(Nsbm Green University, 2022-11-25) De Silva, K.Studies on female employee turnover in service sector businesses published between 2012 and 2022 were subjected to a methodological evaluation. This review methodically chose 31 journal papers detailing employee turnover in female dominated industries. Articles were evaluated based on methodological decisions such as type of data and data sources, data collection method, sample techniques, overall research design, data analysis method, validity, and reliability. Researchers employed various methodological viewpoints to perform their studies, as evidenced by the review's findings. The majority of studies in the subject took a quantitative approach, and all studies describing employee turnover in female-dominated industries were field studies with a cross-sectional design. Primarily, grounded theory served as the foundation for qualitative studies in this field. There were significant methodological inadequacies that could be addressed in future research. Moreover, significant recommendations were made about the selected studies reliability and validity measures
- ItemWeighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis to Identify Key Modules and Hub Genes Related to Withanoloides Biosynthesis Pathway in Datura metel(Nsbm Green University, 2022-11-25) Hewadikaram, M.; De Silva, K.The gene co-expression analysis and clustering concept were utilized to identify possible genes present in the withanolides biosynthesis pathway. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WCGNA) was carried out to identify putative genes. The identified known genes were used as bait to locate the co-expressed genes among them in identified modules in WGCNA analysis. As cytochrome P450s and glycosyltransferase (UGT) are candidates for withanolide biosynthesis in the literature, the study was focused on identifying CYPs and UGT genes. Finally, the study was able to locate 6 CYP genes and 1 UGT gene as putative candidate genes involved in the withanolides biosynthesis pathway. However, in silico characterization should be carried out for further isolation processes.
