Religiosity is closely interwoven with the lives of Sri Lankan citizens who are adherents of mainly Buddhist, and then Hindu, Muslim and Christian faiths. There is a growing interest in conducting research on religiosity. There are many definitions of religiosity but they need to be refined since they do not represent the whole idea of religiosity. Religiosity is defined as the extent to which the particular employee believes in and venerates the founder, gods or goddesses of the relevant religion, practices the relevant teaching and participates in the relevant activities. Religiosity involves one’s being religious earnestly and really rather than one’s being religious frivolously and nominally. The dimensions and elements of religiosity have been investigated with a view to developing an instrument to measure the variable of religiosity. Reliability and validity of the instrument are also presented.

K. M.; Dayarathna, N.W.K.D.K. High performance work systems (HPWS) gained much interest in recent years as a human resource (HR) system contributing towardsorganizational performance. However, studies on HPWS and organizational performance have reported mixed results. While some found that HPWS result in improved organizational performance, later research revealed that HPWS do not always result in positive outcomes. This necessitates understanding on effective implementation of HPWS to achieve the desired outcomes. However, there is lack of research on how HPWS strength shapes the implementation of HPWS. Hence, we aim to bridge this gap by examining the implications of HPWS strength on the performance of Sri LankanInformation Technology (IT)companies. For this purpose, we deployed a case study approach selecting two companies. Interviews were carried out among 13 key informants representing senior management, HR personnel and non-managerial employees. Document review and direct observations were used to further collaborate the evidence from interviews. The findings supported the research proposition that to yield positive outcomes on organizational performance, there should be a strong HPWS,resulting in a positive attitudinal climate among employees.

The pro-environmental behaviour of employee is a key employee behaviour in the workplace in the context of green organizational behaviour. In general, there are many internal and external factors which promote pro-environmental behaviour of employee. In this context, objective of this paper is to examine the impact of internal and external factors on pro-environmental behaviour of employee in the workplace. Based on the literature review, relevant internal and external factors which can predict pro-environmental behaviour of employee in the workplace were identified. Internal factors include social norms, personal norms and attitude toward pro-environmental behaviour and external factors consist of situational factors, leadership behaviour and leadership support. The primary data were collected through questionnaire from 130 respondents from a selected apparel manufacturing organization in Nuwara-Eliya District of Sri Lanka to achieve the research objective. In order to achieve the study objective, this study applied univariate, correlation and regression analyses. Findings of the study show that both internal and external factors have positive impact on pro-environmental behaviour of employee individually, however in the overall model, only the external factors have positive and significant impact on pro-environmental behaviour of employees. The findings of this study are useful in understanding the impact of selected internal and external factors on pro-environmental behaviour of employee in apparel manufacturing organizations.
