    Employees' innovative work behaviors (IWB) are essential for the organization as a whole to achieve high development and a competitive advantage in the market. Every firm must develop its system for boosting its employees' IWB as part of subsequent planning to attain the goal, particularly through HRM practices. We might have less information about which practices matter or how much they will correlate with IWB, but existing literature proves that they can have a significant impact on employees' IWB. The current study, therefore, addresses two aspects of HRM: training and development and rewards, to determine which aspect is most helpful in predicting an employee's IWB. The best HRM practices for boosting IWB should also be identified, along with the theoretical justifications for these methods and the relationship between HRM practices and IWB. We used a questionnaire survey to gather information from 170 employees of a manufacturing company in Penang, Malaysia, in order to analyze this research. The connections between all variables were examined using SPSS. In this study, the means for each variable were also presented. According to this research, a high mean indication with the values of μ=4.74 for rewards, μ=4.36 for training and development, and μ=4.70 for rewards IWB was found. The highest correlation between IWB and training and development was found in the Pearson correlation data (r=.362, p=.000), followed by rewards (r=.767, p=.000). The study's conclusions can help human resource practitioners design an HRM system that promotes inventive employee behavior and fosters an innovative workplace.

    Consumers get irritated and distracted while watching the Ramadan TV commercials due to the non-availability of the consumers’ religio-spiritual insights and this irritation can sometimes create a negative brand image. Marketers have ‘christmasised’ this spiritual month of Ramadan as they are considering Ramadan a seasonal shopping festival like other western festivals. Marketers reserve almost half of their annual budget for advertising during Ramadan but they are not considering the spiritual aura during this spiritual month when the spiritual contemplations of Muslims are higher than any other Islamic month. This study provides a comprehensive framework that will help marketers to incorporate consumers’ religio-spiritual insights in Ramadan TV commercials so that consumers cannot be irritated and distracted. Some of the important constructs explored in this study include spirituality, religiosity, entertainment, information, and credibility of the source. This exploratory research is conducted by following the guidelines of grounded theory. 25 in-depth semi-structured interviews have been conducted from the consumers having religious, non-religious, and sports/yoga orientations to understand the consumers’ spiritual insights and propose a comprehensive framework.
