Blended working, a term we recently introduced, combines on-site and off-site working, enabled by the utilization of information and communications technologies (ICTs) that provides workers with almost constant access to job-relevant information and coworkers. In this commentary, we respond to three articles on blended work that appeared in the October 2016 issue of Work, Aging and Retirement. We agree that both characteristics of the worker and characteristics of the organization determine the effectiveness of blended working to the employability of older workers, retirement timing, and bridge employment. We conclude that blended work practices may suit any worker at any career stage and at the final stages of workers' career in particular.

Employees’ job satisfaction is assumed to have great importance for the success of educational systems, both private and public institutions. In the last two decades, a few researches have been conducted on the factors affecting employees’ job satisfaction in higher education sector in Somalia in general and specifically in private universities in Mogadishu. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the factors affecting employees’ job satisfaction, as well as, to explore the moderating role which organizational justice perceptions could have in the determinants of job satisfaction. The study was conducted on a sample systematically selected from the administration team and employees of two selected private universities in Mogadishu, Somalia; namely University of Somalia (UNISO) and SIMAD University. The study used quantitative cross sectional survey research design by employing structured questionnaire adapted from previous studies. A sample of the selected universities employee members (N = 350) was asked to fill out the instrument that was classified into three (3) sections. The first section included 7 demographic variables. The second section was based on the questionnaire adapted from Boeve (2007) consisting of 55 questions relating to the job facets to measure employees’ job satisfaction. The last part was based on a questionnaire adapted from Neihoff and Moorman (1993) consisting of 20 questions about organizational justice perceptions. Three hundred eleven employees responded, which represented about 89% of the response rate. After collecting questionnaire forms from the respondents, the researcher analyzed the data by using statistical techniques to test the questions of the study. The results indicated a high satisfaction level for the employees of the private universities in Mogadishu. The results also showed the existence of a positive significant correlation between the overall job satisfaction and Job Descriptive Index (JDI) factors of work itself, pay, promotion opportunities, supervisor support, and coworker relations. Furthermore, the results also established positive moderating role of organizational justice perceptions on the affect relationship between JDI factors and overall job satisfaction. Finally, the study concluded with a number of recommendations for the administration and management team of the private universities in Mogadishu, Somalia. It also suggested some areas for future research.

It is a well-known fact that Translation Studies is an interdisciplinary science and it benefits from other disciplines such as Linguistics, Literature, Sociology, Philosophy to answer translation problems. The relationship between translation and psychology has also begun to become widespread among translation scholars in recent years. In addition to cognitive skills, concepts such as non-cognitive skills, decision making processes of translators, the quality of translation, personality traits in translation, translator satisfaction, etc. have begun to be investigated within Translation Studies. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the emotional intelligence of the professional translators working on the translation market and translator satisfaction. For this purpose, a questionnaire for professional written translators was designed and the data were analyzed through the SPSS 21.0 program. Three different data collection tools such as Individual Information Form, Emotional Intelligence Scale and Translator Satisfaction were used in the research. In addition, relational screening model was used in the research. Descriptive statistical analysis method was used to find the basic elements; One-Way ANOVA and t-Tests were performed to determine whether there was any significant difference between the dimensions statistically. In addition, Pearson Correlation Analysis was performed to see whether there is a relationship between the dimensions statistically and Regression Analysis was performed in order to see the effects of the dimensions having relation to each other. Qualitative Analysis Method was also used for open ended questions. As a result of the analyzes, it was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between the dimensions of both emotional intelligence, translator satisfaction and also between the sub-scales of both dimensions. It has been found that there is a statistically positive and moderately significant relationship between emotional intelligence of translators working on the market and translator satisfaction and between task satisfaction, job satisfaction and occupational satisfaction which create the translator satisfaction and emotional intelligence. According to the results of regression analysis, it was determined that emotional intelligence has a statistically significant effect on translator satisfaction. After evaluating the results, it was revealed that emotional intelligence positively influences translator satisfaction. In addition, it has been found out that that non-cognitive skills are important elements of translation just like cognitive skills and translator psychology needs to stand out in translation teaching, in holding on to the translation market, and in the translation process at least as important as cognitive skills. research on non-cognitive skills within TS must be encouraged among translation scholars.
Key Words: Non Cognitive Skills, Emotional Intelligence, Translator Satisfaction, Pearson Correlation Analysis, Regression Analysis, One-Way ANOVA, T-tests.

Improving employee engagement in an organization has become a priority concern as committed employees follow their jobs' vision, principles, and intent. Employee engagement is seen as a significant indicator of good results in organizations. Considering the value of employee engagement, this paper discusses possible talent management practices scenarios in Indian public sector banks and how they improve employee engagement. Additionally, it explores how talent management practices and employee engagement in Indian public sector banks could affect employee retention and performance. This research indicates several verifiable theories that talent management approaches are impacting the productivity and success of employees. This further demonstrates that talent management practices affect firm results. This research suggests validating these hypotheses on the survey focused on employees' data from the top four banks of the public sector in Rajasthan, India. The study would add to the literature on talent management by analyzing how talent management practices influence organizational outcomes, including employee retention and employee performance.

Employee welfare has been the center of research in human resource management. This paper examines the effects of welfare measures on employees’ job satisfaction using data from 153 participants randomly selected from leather products manufacturing enterprises in Ethiopia. The analysis of the descriptive statistics revealed that the respondents showed their moderate satisfaction on both intramural welfare measures (M=2.7338 with SD=.59573) and extramural welfare measures (M=3.1470 with SD=.61121). Regarding job satisfaction also they have shown their moderate satisfaction both in intrinsic (M=2.9714 with SD.66804) and extrinsic (M=2.7995 with SD=.71129) as job satisfaction measures. The correlation analysis results have shown that intramural (r=.176) and extramural (r=.133) employee welfare measures had a weak but positive relationship with job satisfaction. The explanatory power of employees’ welfare measures, as shown by R square is 13.0% (R=.13), indicating that 87% of the variation in employee’s job satisfaction is explained by factors other than welfare measures. From the analysis of the study it can be concluded that lesser attention was given for employee welfare measures by enterprises as considered for the present study. Given the limited number of studies on this topic in the context of Ethiopia, this study may be a herald for a much rigorous study.
