We also examined whether perceived organizational support (POS) mediated the effects of HPWS on supervisor ratings of followers' proactive behavior. The results from structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analyses showed that HPWS were positively related to proactive behavior. The results also suggest that POS mediated the relationship between HPWS and proactive behavior. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Using a sample of 247 employees employed by three large manufacturing firms in Bangladesh, results from structural equation modeling and hierarchical regression analyses showed that psychological empowerment mediated the relationship between HPWS and organizational citizenship behavior. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

Conflicting and inconclusive outcomes have been generated by various existing studies in EMH. In addition, efficiency tests in the emerging financial markets are rarely definitive in reaching a conclusion about the issue. This paper recommend a paradigm of non-parametric tests of market efficiency for an emerging stock market, that is DSE, consisting of non-parametric test which is autocorrelation function tests (ACF), to establish a more definitive conclusion about EMH in emerging financial markets. The result of this research using Dhaka Stock Exchange General Index (DGEN) demonstrates that a positive autocorrelation on Dhaka Stock Exchange returns exists particularly in the period of 2001-2013 and DSE doesn't hold weak form of efficiency and not following the Random walk model. The inefficiency of the Dhaka Stock Exchange follows on from the violation of the necessary conditions for an efficient market with a developed financial system and also implies financial markets and institutional imperfections.
