Alsugair, Abdullah M. "Impact of Mandatory Medical Insurance on Construction Contractors in Saudi Arabia." Advanced Materials Research 163-167 (December 2010): 4529–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/amr.163-167.4529.
Full textAbstract:
The comprehensive development in Saudi Arabia forced the private sector to bring foreign employees to assist in accomplishing this development. The number of foreign employees reached to six million people according to the late statistics. This huge number of people exerted pressure on the public free medical facilities that forced the government to issue a decree that instructs private sector to use private medical facilities for their foreign employees. The private sector dealt with this decree in different ways according to the perception of the company from providing full medical coverage for their employees to providing nothing. This has created a problem to many foreigners in which they have to pay for their medical needs. The government, then, issued a new decree that is the mandatory medical insurance. This decree requires the private sector to provide full medical coverage for their foreign employees. This decree will have an impact on the construction companies (contractors) and the cost of the construction projects. This paper presents results of a study conducted to identify the impact of the mandatory medical insurance on the construction contractors in Saudi Arabia. The methodology used was to prepare a questionnaire that investigates the objectives of this study and distributes it to the contractors. The questionnaire includes many aspects among them the impact of this decree on the company performance and the competition between contractors; how this extra expense being dealt with; and the impact on the employee. The questionnaires were distributed to 150 construction contractors and 90 questionnaires were collected. Results of the study reveal the impact of the mandatory medical insurance on the construction contractors in general and according to their classifications. In addition, the study presents the current practice implemented by contractors to provide medical care for their foreign employees.

Full textAbstract:
The success of a company needs employees who are competent, experienced and strong. Islamic insurance companies certainly require employees who have knowledge about insurance in accordance with Islamic sharia principles. In the case of the Islamic insurance company Bumi Putera Palembang in 2015 to 2016 there are 40 insurance policyholders who worked in a government agency to terminate the employment relationship between the insurance and policyholders. This is because there is no transparency related to monthly installment payments that should be proven by a deposit or proof of receipt of payment in full by the field agent to the policy holder. This is not in line with the principles of Islamic insurance, namely avoiding the elements of gharar, maysir and usury. Islam emphasizes aspects of justice, likes and likes and togetherness faces risks in every effort and investment pioneered. This aspect is the concept offer to replace gharar, maysir and riba that have been happening in conventional institutions. The focus of research is on the competency of agents (wakalah) in the sharia Islamic Bumi Putera insurance company in the city of Palembang. The result is obtained from the conclusions of six indicators and evidenced by the table of productive reports of agents related to product marketing that human resources in agents /wakalah Bumi Putera Syariah Life Insurance have not described competency and professionalism. This can be seen from the lack of insurance products sold, attitudes to field issues and the achievement of the target customers determined by the company.

Research on creativity as an attitude, thinking ability, and creative behavior developed in the education sphere is profoundly related to positive things. Meanwhile, the research for negative creativity or the allegedly dark side of creativity is still very limited both in education and in the industrial world. This study examines the influence of internal factors (personality and intelligence) and external factors (organizational climate and organizational culture) on positive and negative creativity. The sample comprised 180 government employees in a ministry office and 150 private employees at a well-known insurance company in Jakarta. The results of this study show that for government employees, positive creativity mainly influenced by internal factors, namely the openness personality type, and none of the external factors affects. Simultaneously, negative creativity influenced by external factors, particularly the goal-oriented organizational climate, and none of the internal factors affects. On the other hand, private employees have various positive creativity influenced by internal factors (such as extraversion personality and neuroticism) and also external factors (the culture of cooperation and customer orientation). In contrast, negative creativity influenced by external factors of the organization, specifically the internal process that runs within the organization.

Abstract Introduction There has been a rise in workplace health promotion programs (WHPP)’s in the U.S., designed to improve a variety of employee health behaviors such as exercise and nutrition. Yet, relatively few focus on the third pillar of health: Sleep. Methods The CDC collected data from a nationally-representative cohort of companies in 2017. Participants in this Workplace Health in America study completed online surveys reporting the type of WHPP offerings at their worksite and characteristics of their worksite, including occupational field (e.g., agriculture, management, wholesale/retail), workforce size (i.e., small: <100; moderate: 100-499; and large: 500+) and company type (e.g., non-profit, profit-private, profit-public, government). We identified factors associated with an increased likelihood of sleep-focused WHPP using logistic regression adjusted for company size and type. Analyses were weighted for nationally-representative estimates. Results Of the N=2,843 companies that provided information, N=261 (11.74%) reported having a sleep program. Worksites with large workforces (OR=4.8, p<0.0005), for-profit public companies (OR=9.0, p<0.0005), in wholesale/retail (OR=3.8, p<0.0005), and those with employer-subsidized full health insurance (OR=12.7, p<0.0005) were more likely to have a sleep-focused WHPP. Other predictors included more long-standing WHPP programs (6 years, OR=4.4, p<0.0005), the presence of employee health in the company’s mission (OR=4.5, p<0.0005), leadership buy-in (OR=3.5, p=0.007), and an annual health promotion budget >$50,000 (OR=11.3, p<0.0005). Conclusion In general, workplaces with higher budgets, more well-established health promotion programs, and a mission to promote workplace health are more likely to include a sleep program. Also, publicly-traded companies and government were more likely than private companies to have a sleep program. Future research may consider defining barriers among small business and non-profit organizations for implementing sleep-focused workplace health programs. Support T32HL007901

AbstractObjectiveTo examine whether a worksite nutrition programme using a low-fat vegan diet could significantly improve nutritional intake.DesignAt two corporate sites of the Government Employees Insurance Company, employees who were either overweight (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) and/or had type 2 diabetes participated in a 22-week worksite-based dietary intervention study.SettingAt the intervention site, participants were asked to follow a low-fat vegan diet and participate in weekly group meetings that included instruction and group support (intervention group). At the control site, participants received no instruction (control group). At weeks 0 and 22, participants completed 3 d dietary records to assess energy and nutrient intake.SubjectsA total of 109 participants (sixty-five intervention and forty-four control).ResultsIn the intervention group, reported intake of total fat, trans fat, saturated fat and cholesterol decreased significantly (P ≤ 0·001), as did energy and protein (P = 0·01), and vitamin B12 (P = 0·002), compared with the control group. Intake (exclusive of any use of nutritional supplements) of carbohydrate, fibre, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium increased significantly (P ≤ 0·0001), as did that for β-carotene (P = 0·0004), total vitamin A activity (P = 0·004), vitamin K (P = 0·01) and sodium (P = 0·04) in the intervention group, compared with the control group.ConclusionsThe present study suggests that a worksite vegan nutrition programme increases intakes of protective nutrients, such as fibre, folate and vitamin C, and decreases intakes of total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol.

Lack of awareness of workers is one of the factors causing work accidents that have occurred. This cannot be done as it should, so there are still frequent work accidents involving construction project workers. In the Bogor region itself, the issue of work safety is also a special concern of the government in realizing development. The method used by the author in this study is a descriptive legal normative research method, the implementation of work safety protection for construction project workers in Bogor City is still not running optimally, this is due to the absence of an agreement between workers and employers. Because in general construction project workers only have a working relationship with third parties outside the construction company. So that the participation of the government is needed to resolve work safety issues for construction project workers. The legal consequence arising from the absence of a work agreement for construction project workers is that they do not receive work health and safety insurance, other than that the wages received do not correspond to what has been provided by the company, because there is a third party tasked with coordinating these workers, so construction project workers do not have legal protection as mandated by law.

AbstractRecent media reports have revealed a substantial number of highly-paid senior civil servants and BBC presenters have been using “off payroll” arrangements and personal services companies to reduce the tax paid on their earnings. This article examines the tax and National Insurance contribution (NIC) savings that can be had by carrying on economic activity through a company rather than as an unincorporated business or an employee. These savings derive from a combination of favourable tax and NIC rates on companies, and can be further increased through family income-splitting arrangements, as witnessed in the case of Jones v Garnett. Several possible reforms to address the distortions and inequity in the present tax and NIC regimes in favour of companies are considered, including amendments to the IR35 “disguised employment” regime and the anti-income-splitting rules known as the settlement provisions. Applying the new statutory general anti-abuse rule, which the Government plans to introduce in Finance Act 2013, is another possible approach. The preferred option, however, is to deal with the root problem and pursue closer alignment of the tax and NIC treatment of activity carried on in different legal forms.

Full textAbstract:
The study investigates an average direct and indirect costs incurred by Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) patients who received diagnosis, treatment and follow up in the Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Malaysia. A total of 299 NPC patients were randomly selected using a primary data collection approach from the Sarawak General Hospital between November 2018-March 2019. Information related to the average direct and indirect costs incurred by NPC patients at various stages and the sources of their financial assistance throughout the treatment periods were assorted. The study reveals that the total average cost of 169 or 56.52% of the NPC patients who received various treatment services in the public hospital is RM13,165 against RM78,860 on 130 or 43.48% of the patients received the same services in both public and private healthcare. Major sources of funding come from patients’ savings, family members, medical insurances, non-profit organization or charity, company healthcare benefits, employees’ provident fund (EPF) as well as subsidy from the government: This study suggests that the treatment cost for cancer patient is high and hence, there is a need to establish a mechanism that can provide a free screening test for NPC as a forward step to cancer prevention, while for policy makers to develop a more supportive initiative to address the needs of the poor patients.

The objectives of this study were to assess the internal consistency of the ASSET, to identify occupational stressors for employees in an insurance company and to assess the relationships between occupational stress, ill health and organisational commitment. A cross-sectional survey design was used. An availability sample (N = 613) of employees in an insurance company was used. An Organisational Stress Screening Tool (ASSET) was used as measuring instrument. The results showed that job insecurity as well as pay and benefits were the highest stressors in the insurance industry. Two stressors, namely job characteristics and control were statistically significant predictors of low organisational commitment. Physical ill health was best predicted by overload and job characteristics. Three stressors, namely work-life balance, overload and job characteristics best predicted psychological ill health.

De forma geral há um consenso de que as instituições necessitam de meios que lhes sirvam de fontes de dados para que possam promover seus gerenciamentos com segurança. No Brasil, os instrumentos de gestão normatizados pela legislação societária são os demonstrativos contábeis financeiros. Alguns demonstrativos, por sua vez, apresentam significativa relevância no contexto econômico social. Verifica-se, portanto, a Demonstração do Valor Adicionado (DVA) como um demonstrativo financeiro que se adequa a esse tipo de informação. Nesse contexto, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa é apresentar a geração e a distribuição do valor adicionado gerado pelas organizações de capital aberto segmentada como seguradoras e listadas na B3 (B3 S.A – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), durante o período de 2015 a 2017. Para tanto, utilizou-se da pesquisa do tipo documental e descritiva, de natureza qualitativa, através de uma análise nas DVA’s das instituições pesquisadas. Concluiu-se que o período de 2015 a 2017 propiciou uma queda na capacidade de gerar valor para as entidades seguradoras. Dentre as quais, a companhia BB – Seguridade Participações S.A demostrou maior capacidade de geração de riqueza, como também foi a que menos destinou o valor adicionado ao seu corpo de funcionários. Quanto à distribuição de valor notou-se que a maior parcela foi destinada à formação de reservas de lucros, sendo também uma considerável quantia destinada aos acionistas. De forma geral, o governo e os funcionários foram os que menos se beneficiaram do valor adicionado.Palavras-chave: Geração e distribuição de riqueza. Demonstração do Valor Adicionado.

Therefore, the Value Added Statement (VAS) is presented as a financial statement that is adequate for this type of information. In this context, the main objective of this research is to present the generation and distribution of the added value generated by publicly traded companies segmented as insurers and listed on the B3 (B3 S.A – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), during the period from 2015 to 2017. For this purpose, the documentary and descriptive research of a qualitative nature was used, through an analysis in the VAS’s of the research institutions. It was concluded that the period 2015 to 2017 caused a decrease in the capacity to generate value for the insurance companies. Among them, the company BB – Seguridade Participações S.A demonstrated greater capacity for wealth generation, but it was also the one that attributed the least added value to its employees. Regarding the distribution of value it was noted that the largest portion was destined for the formation of reserves, and also a good amount destined to the shareholders. In general, government and employees were the ones that benefited least from value added.Keywords: Generation and distribution of wealth. Value added statement. Insurers of the B3.

The purpose of this study is to comprehend the statistical relation between the amount of turnover produced by an employee in insurance companies in Turkey, used as a dependent variable. Whereas, the independent variables are three.The first independent variable is the ratio of number of staff horldiong a Bachelor (BA) over the number of all employees of each insurance company. The second independent varaible is the ratio of the number of sales department crew over number of all employees of each insurance company. The third independent variable is the ratio of number of male salespeople over the number of all sales department of each insurance company. Results indicate that the ratio of the number of male sales department crew over the number of all employees of each insurance company has a negative effect on the average turnover produced by one employee. Moreover, the ratio of number of male salespeople over the number of all sales department of each insurance company is found to have positive effect on the dependent variable. Lastly, the ratio of the number of staff holding a BA degree over the number of all employees of each insurance company has no significant effect on the dependent variable.This study also provides a summary of the basic terms of the concept of insurance and risk.

PurposeHappiness at work (HAW) has been a hot item in both the academic and managerial literature, as HAW seems to have a positive effect on attractiveness of an organization on its current workforce and potential new employees. Many of the HAW models have been developed in a Western setting, while this research aims at evaluation of whether a previously validated HAW model in the Western context is also valid in a non-Western context; in this case at a Takaful insurance company in the United Arab Emirates.Design/methodology/approachEmployees of the Takaful insurance company were asked to rate their organization on how high performance it was – using the validated high-performance organization (HPO) questionnaire – and how happy they were – using the previously validated HAW questionnaire. The collected data was subjected to confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling to arrive at a validated HAW model for this Takaful insurance company.FindingsThe study results show that if the Takaful insurance company transforms itself to an HPO, it will become more attractive to current and future employees, by raising the HAW of current employees. The results also show that HAW consists of three factors: work engagement, job satisfaction and affective organizational commitment.Practical implicationsThe Takaful insurance company now has knowledge at its disposal about ways to promote happiness in its employees, thus raising its attractiveness to current and future employees. The developed HAW model for this company is potentially also useful for other Takaful insurance companies in the UAE.Originality/valueThis study was the first of its kind – using the HPO and HAW models developed in a Western context, to be validated for a Takaful insurance company – and as such, contributes to both the HPO and HAW literature.

Full textAbstract:
Retaining talented employees and keeping them healthy and well are increasingly important challenges for organisations in the age of the knowledge worker. Organisations are interrogating aspects such as the reasons why some employees are more satisfied, committed and engaged to their organisations than others. Another question is: what should managers do to ensure employee wellness within their organisations? This study explores the relationship between job satisfaction, organisational commitment and work engagement. Spector’s (1997) Job Satisfaction Survey, Allen and Meyer’s (1990) Organisational Commitment Questionnaire and Schaufeli and Bakker’s (2004) Utrecht Work Engagement Scale were administered to a sample of 220 employees from a South African insurance company. The findings show mixed results with regard to significant correlations between job satisfaction, organisational commitment and work engagement. The majority of the findings suggest that there are significant correlations, of a large and medium effect, between scales, including a number of positive relationships of varying strength between job satisfaction, organisational commitment and selected components of work engagement. The findings could benefit organisations as they could contribute to a better understanding of what motivates their workers, particularly their levels of satisfaction, commitment and engagement, and what the combined effect of these might be on the retention and wellness of employees.

Full textAbstract:
Practice guidelines are an increasingly relevant feature of health insurance. One hundred and seventy-eight million people in the United States have some form of private health insurance coverage; coverage for 150 million of them is employment-related. Traditionally, this coverage was provided by employers purchasing a group contract under which an insurance carrier provided indemnity coverage for employees—that is, the insurance company paid all usual, customary, and reasonable charges incurred by an employee for medical care, subject in some cases to an annual deductible and to a percentage of covered expenses, co-paid by the employee, for each service. In recent years, however, employers in greater numbers have switched to so-called self-insurance plans in which employees’ health care claims are paid directly by the employer (although an insurance company or other third party may be retained to administer the claim payment process).

Determining the health insurance premium is the most important aspect in providing social health insurance. In measuring the rate, it is needed to calculate the cost of providing the service. One possible methodological tool of calculating the cost is the contingent valuation method for the evaluation of the consumers’ capacity and their willingness to pay for the services. This study applied a Logit model, having binary depended variable with follow up dichotomous choice at different premium levels, to estimate the factors associated to joining the social health insurance scheme. The study found that 80.1 percent of the government employees of Bangladesh wants to pay on average 6.69 percent of their basic salary as social health insurance premium. The result shows that younger peoples are less willing to pay while older people are more willing to pay for social health insurance. The study also revealed that the area of residence and no of visit to doctor play a key role in determining the willingness to pay. This study should help the policymakers to formulate and implement the social health insurance scheme in Bangladesh.

Data from four plants of a single company are used to examine differences in health plan selection in 1989 among employees offered a choice of plans. A 10% increase in the traditional fee-for-service (FFS) plan premium reduced the fraction choosing that plan by 4–9 percentage points, and a doubling of the deductible reduced the plan's market share by 3–4 percentage points. Most workers rejecting such a plan chose the high-premium prepaid plans, which offer the lowest cost-sharing provisions. On the other hand, attaching a modest deductible to prepaid plans reduced their market share by 3–4 percentage points and increased participation in the traditional FFS plan, which requires a relatively high premium but low cost-sharing. The authors also find that increases in real salaries and in the age of the work force boosted employee choice of the traditional FFS plan.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the second leading cause of death in cancer patients. The treatment of cancer-associated VTE carries a significantly greater risk of major bleeding (MB) and recurrent VTE compared to that in non-cancer patients. CHEST Guidelines suggest the use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) over a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) in patients diagnosed with VTE and cancer. The last decade has seen an emergence of non-VKA anticoagulants (NOACs) for the treatment of VTE. Despite completed and ongoing clinical trials, there is a lack of real-world evidence comparing the effectiveness and safety of LWMH with VKAs and NOACs among VTE patients with active cancer. Therefore, this study evaluates the risk of MB, clinically relevant non-MB (CRNMB), and recurrent VTE (fatal or non-fatal) among VTE patients with active cancer prescribed apixaban, LMWH, or warfarin in routine clinical practice. METHODS: Four US commercial insurance claims databases were used to identify VTE patients with active cancer (defined as cancer diagnosis or cancer treatment [chemotherapy, radiation and cancer-related surgery] within 6 months before or 30 days after VTE diagnosis) who initiated apixaban, LMWH, or warfarin within 30-days following the first VTE event (01SEP2014-31MAR2018). Patients who used LMWH as bridging therapy for warfarin (≤14 days before or after warfarin initiation) were classified as warfarin users. Patients were followed to the earliest of: health plan disenrollment, death, index therapy discontinuation, switch to another anticoagulant, study end, or a maximum of 6 months. Additional analysis using all available follow-up was also conducted. Stabilized inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance treatment cohorts. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the risk of MB, CRNMB, and recurrent VTE. RESULTS: After applying all eligibility criteria, 3,393 apixaban, 6,108 LMWH, and 4,585 warfarin patients were identified with mean ages of 65, 64, and 64 years, respectively. After IPTW, all patient characteristics were balanced. The mean follow-up was 105, 88, and 113 days for apixaban, LMWH, and warfarin, respectively. Among the weighted VTE cancer population, 51% of the patients had metastatic cancer and 77% of patients received cancer treatment. Further, 15% of patients had very high-risk cancer (brain, stomach, or pancreas), and 40% patients had high-risk cancer (lung, lymphoma, gynecologic, bladder, testicular, renal cell carcinoma). Apixaban patients had a lower risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE compared to LMWH. Apixaban patients also had a lower risk of recurrent VTE and a similar risk of MB and CRNM bleeding compared to warfarin. Warfarin patients had a similar risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE compared to LMWH (Figure). When the entire available follow-up period (mean follow-up was 137, 106, and 166 days for apixaban, LMWH, and warfarin, respectively) was used, the trends were similar to the 6-month analysis for apixaban vs. LMWH and warfarin vs. LMWH. However, apixaban patients were associated with a lower risk of both MB and recurrent VTE compared to warfarin patients. CONCLUSION: VTE patients with active cancer initiating apixaban had significantly lower risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE compared to LMWH patients. Apixaban patients also had a lower risk of recurrent VTE compared to warfarin patients. These results may be helpful for clinicians in evaluating different anticoagulation treatments for VTE patients with active cancer. Further studies are needed to evaluate these outcomes between different anticoagulation treatment options.

BACKGROUND: Cancer is an independent risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the strongest predictor for all-cause and pulmonary embolism-related mortality. VTE risk is 4-7 times higher in cancer patients compared to non-cancer patients. Different cancer types are associated with different risk of VTE. Cancers of the brain, pancreas, stomach, liver, lungs, and kidneys-and hematologic malignancies-have the strongest association with the occurrence of VTE. The Khorana risk score based on the cancer type, blood counts, and body mass index is one of the VTE risk scales to predict the risk of thrombosis in cancer patients. This study evaluates the risk of major bleeding (MB), clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding, and recurrent VTE (non-fatal and fatal) among VTE patients with active cancer prescribed apixaban, low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH), or warfarin stratified by VTE risk. METHODS: A pooled study using four US commercial insurance claims databases identified VTE patients diagnosed with active cancer (defined as cancer diagnosis [any stage] or cancer treatment [chemotherapy, radiation, and cancer-related surgery] within 6 months before or 30 days after VTE diagnosis) who initiated apixaban, LMWH, or warfarin within 30 days following the first VTE event (01SEP2014-31MAR2018). Patients were followed to the earliest of: health plan disenrollment, death, index therapy discontinuation, switch to another anticoagulant, study end, or a maximum of 6 months. Stabilized inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance treatment cohorts. A subgroup analysis using a modified Khorana VTE risk scale (cancer type only) was conducted. Patients were classified as very high risk (stomach, brain, or pancreas), high risk (lung, lymphoma, gynecologic, bladder, testicular, renal cell carcinoma), or other (all remaining cancer types) depending on their cancer type. Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE. The statistical significance (P<0.10) of the interaction between treatment and different levels of VTE risk was evaluated. RESULTS: After applying the selection criteria, 3,393 apixaban, 6,108 LMWH, and 4,585 warfarin patients were identified with mean ages of 65, 64, and 64 years, respectively. After IPTW, all patient characteristics were balanced. Among all VTE cancer patients after IPTW, 15% of patients had very high-risk cancer and 40% patients had high-risk cancer. In the main analysis, apixaban patients had a lower risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE compared to LMWH. Warfarin patients had a similar risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE compared to LMWH. Apixaban patients had a lower risk of recurrent VTE and a similar risk of MB and CRNM bleeding compared to warfarin (Figure). When stratifying by the VTE risk scale, study findings were generally consistent with the primary analysis and across the different subgroups. No significant interactions were observed for MB or CRNM bleeding (Figure). Two significant interactions were evident for recurrent VTE: apixaban trended towards a lower risk of recurrent VTE compared to LMWH across all three subgroups, but the magnitude of the difference was larger in the other cancer group vs. very high risk and high risk cancer groups. For warfarin vs. LMWH, different trends in recurrent VTE risk were observed among patients with different VTE risk levels (Figure). CONCLUSION: Across subgroups of VTE cancer patients with different VTE risk levels, apixaban had a lower risk of recurrent VTE compared to warfarin and a lower risk of MB, CRNM bleeding, and recurrent VTE compared to LMWH consistent with the overall results. Warfarin patients had a similar risk of MB and CRNM bleeding compared to LMWH. Further studies are needed to evaluate the role of anticoagulants in high-risk subgroups of VTE cancer patients.

In this study we had conducted a survey among Customers of Bank in order to know whether they are aware of the concept of Bancassurance and exploring the reasons why customer would like to buy insurance products from banks. Customer attitude to two different distribution channels was calculated by getting the mean of 24 statements on Likert scale. 74% of the sample was aware of the fact that their banks sell insurance products. It was reported that the reference (56%) and bank employees (54%) are the two main information sources for these customers. The respondents emphasized Trust, convenience in terms of location as the main reasons for buying the insurance products from banks instead of Insurance agents and after analyzing 24 statements administered among target sample population we can conclude: Customers feel that insurance agents have more expertise in insurance products than bank employees and can give better advice. It was also found that banks employees give them all the information needed than insurance agents and customers trust bank more than insurance company for all their financial requirements. Therefore, banks in India should try to exploit the existing opportunities to cross-sell insurance products through their branch network.

Full textAbstract:
Construction contractors in Saudi Arabia were exposed to additional expenses due to implementing a new government decree related to medical insurance for foreign employees. The number of foreign employees reached to eight million people out of 27 million people the total population of Saudi Arabia. This huge number of foreign people exerted pressure on the public free medical facilities that forced the government to issue a decree that instructs private sector to use private medical facilities for their foreign employees. This paper presents results of a study to identify the effect of the medical insurance decree on construction industry in Saudi Arabia. The methodology used was to prepare a questionnaire that investigates the objectives of this study and distributes it to the contractors. The questionnaires were distributed to 150 construction contractors and 90 questionnaires were collected. Results of the study reveal the effect of the compulsory medical insurance on the construction contractors in general and according to their classifications. In addition, the study presents the current practice implemented by contractors to provide medical care for their foreign employees.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the economic issues related to financial crises at insurance companies, using an example from the Great Depression, the National Surety Company. National Surety was a large and diverse American insurance company that experienced a major crisis in 1933 due to losses from its guarantees of mortgage-backed securities. I find that policyholders were able to stage a massive run on the company by demanding the return of their unearned premiums. A key dynamic of the crisis was that policyholders at an insurance company have a dual role as holders of liabilities and as providers of income. In addition, I establish that government officials believed National Surety to be systemically important, due to the size of its insurance business and because many of its counterparties were societal actors that these officials sought to protect. As a result, the New York State Insurance Commissioner used emergency powers to reorganize the company, with the goal of providing continuity to its business lines outside mortgage-backed security insurance.

Full textAbstract:
The creation of value for customers depends significantly on the knowledge, skill and motivation of service employees. Heskett, Sasser and Schlesinger (2003, The value profit chain. New York, NY: The Free Press) argued that customer value is created by satisfied, productive and loyal employees. This indicates that the company must first provide value to employees. What has not sufficiently been analysed is how to and who should provide value to employees. We verified that not only the company provides value through its policies or systems, but also through those managers who lead at middle level. They play an essential role in creating value for employees when guiding them consistently through specific behaviours that promote value for customers. Our research has focused on developing specific middle managers’ behaviours in order to create a climate focused on service that contributes to enhancing employee value in the commercial unit of a leading insurance company in Peru. The literature explains the need of a generic climate (GC) as a foundation for focused climates, but it has not been demonstrated how to link these climates through the leadership of middle managers. We applied a model of service leadership that facilitates this link, emphasizes excellence in service and enhances employees’ value.

Full textAbstract:
Fraudulent acts or ethical violations committed by staff or senior management can not only cause serious damage to the company's reputation and operations, but also lead to bankruptcy. According to the Corruption Perception Index and the level of internal ethical violations by staff or management in financial institutions (banks, insurance companies and others), Indonesia in 2018 ranked 90th out of 180 countries worldwide, which indicates the presence of such cases. Violations can occur due to the weaknesses in the internal control system and the low level of integrity of employees. Instead, high employee self-awareness and company motivation to report violations (internal whistle-blowing intentions) can significantly improve the situation. The purpose of the article is to examine the variables that affect the insurance company employees in Palembang when making a decision to whistleblowing (reporting fraud). The variables considered in this study are: attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control. The factor of religiosity in this study is used as a moderator. The sample of the study – 62 respondents, namely employees of insurance companies operating in the city of Palembang (Indonesia). The study results show that factors such as attitude and subjective norms influence the decisions of employees of insurance companies to report fraud. At the same time, the perceived behavioral control does not have a significant impact on the decision-making process. The religiosity of a person also does not affect both the studied variables (attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) and the whistleblowing intentions.

Full textAbstract:
Frederick Ludwig Hoffman, statistician and insurance executive, was a formidable opponent of the emerging welfare state during the Progressive Era. As a vice president of the Prudential Insurance Company of Newark, New Jersey, Hoffman led a relentless campaign against proposals for government-ran compulsory health insurance between 1915 and 1920. While he acted in the interests of his insurance company employer, Hoffman's opposition also arose from his ardent beliefs about the nature of welfare states. Social insurance and other forms of state-organized assistance, Hoffman claimed, represented “alien governmental theories” based on “paternalism and coercion,” especially since they originated in autocratic Germany, where in 1885 Chancellor Otto von Bismarck had created the world's first sickness insurance system. “In so far as our right to oppose compulsory health insurance is concerned,” explained Hoffman, “it [is] the duty of every American to oppose German ideas of government control and state socialism.” In the anti-German atmosphere engendered by the First World War, his arguments had particular resonance.

This study describes and predicts how users accept the implemented technology. This research uses a qualitative method approach. Data collection was carried out by interviewing three employees of the Policy Services Division of PT Asuransi Sinar Mas. Researchers researched in March 2020. The data obtained were then processed through data reduction, data presentation, and description conclusions. The results showed that employees in the company could accept technology because they perceive ease of use and usability. The emergence of a positive attitude towards the use of technology impacts the high interest in technology use behavior to increase the actual use of technology. The positive attitude of users towards technology is indicated by the satisfaction of using technology from employees. Researchers can measure technology acceptance based on perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitudes of using technology, interest in behavior using technology, and actual behavior using technology. It is necessary to improve the actual conduct of employees using technology that can improve company performance.

PurposeThis paper sets out to examine how private health insurance (PHI) supports the private interests of consumers of healthcare services. The focus is on how insurance companies promote PHI to consumers.Design/methodology/approachUsing interviews with insurance company marketing managers and others, the paper is a case study on the introduction of PHI in Sweden.FindingsThe interviewed insurance company managers argue that PHI supports two types of consumers' private economic interests. One type is the employers' interest in managing their total health‐related costs for their employees and the promise of PHI to reduce these costs. The second type relates to the interests of employees, particularly sports professionals, in managing economic risks and the promise of PHI to limit such risks.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper focuses on how insurance companies promote PHI to consumers. There is no exploration of how PHI policyholders actually use their insurance. The study focuses on Sweden where private companies are the major PHI policyholders. In other European countries, PHI may be adapted to other consumer groups in order to develop other private interests. The paper points to the value of short waiting times in public healthcare.Originality/valueThe paper provides valuable insights for academics and practitioners who are interested in how the private interests of consumers may affect the healthcare sector.

Some variales in the organizational behavior that greatly affect the performance of employees are productivity, absenteeism, turnover, and job satisfaction, deviant behavior in the workplace and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. When associated with the empirical situation in business, in the field of insurance the role of sales force (insurance agent) becomes very important for the company. This profession requires the sales force to move closer to prospective customers both individuals and corporates. Their job is as corporate ambassadors / someone who is trusted to represent the company to promote, offer, and explain insurance products professionally, credibly and integrity. This study aims to examine the OCB dispositional predictors of both insurance agents and managers. This research can contribute thoughts to the managerial practices of insurance industry business actors in improving organizational performance from Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). The results of the analysis show that the OCB-I diagnostic model with the highest indicator is always willing to help customers and office guests who need help, then willing to help new employees to adapt to the work environment even though not ruled boss and as much as possible always keep up with the developments and changes that occur in the organization . Meanwhile the category that has an average score of four under the answer is willing to help ease the work of overloaded co-workers and the lowest is always complaining when there is a less ideal situation in the workplace. Basically, the agent's job is to find and maintain customers, agents work under supervisor and they can work in groups or independently. Group work is usually done by new agents who join the company, they follow the group as their place of learning in acquiring clients or customers. Experienced agents will be appointed as group leaders and manage the agents who are members. In this case the behavior of OCB-I can indicate an agent or group leader helps each other to achieve their target. From the OCB-O indicator, as a whole has a high category which means that the insurance agent is willing to comply with the regulations of the insurance company in which they work, the indicator that has the highest average value is that the agent never talks about bad things about the company outside and always adhere to all the company's rules and regulations, while the agency indicators are less actively involved in the activities in the company showed an average value of 3.37 indicates that the agent agent flexible working hours, according to the head of the insurance agent, the activities of insurance agents in the office varies, there is insurance that requires employees to come every morning for a meeting there stating they come at a weekend meeting to do an evaluation and make a plan for the next week. There is an insurance company that states that they are free to come to office to meet supervisornya (no schedule). The indicator that has the lowest average score and with the low category is the agent usually spend hours to talk about things out of work, relax, or play the game means the agent does not spend hours working for things that are not important because basically the agent has a target on his job and must meet clients or customers not to move on to another insurance company.

AbstractThough the individual’s resistance is very often considered a significant barrier to BPM success, the literature on that topic is quite scarce. With the aim to shed light on this topic, we have conducted research of a Croatian insurance company. We examined the impact of individual’s resistance regarding BPM initiative using the theory of reasoned action. Structural equation model was developed using the data collected by the survey among company employees. The results indicate that subjective norms are positively related to the individual’s resistance regarding BPM initiative, while positive initial belief regarding BPM initiative tends to decrease the probability of resistance to change.
