Authors: Vieira J.G.V. , Yoshizaki H.T.Y. , Ho L.L.
Published: September 2024

This paper assesses the effect of supplier-retailer collaboration on logistical performance and transaction costs from the viewpoint of retail sector suppliers. The methodology consists of an empirical study conducted over nine months in the logistics department of a large Brazilian supermarket retailer and a survey of 125 representatives of 90 manufacturers. The results show collaboration contributes to an improvement in logistical performance related to urgent deliveries and deliveries that occur during periods of high demand. Interpersonal collaboration and joint actions contribute to the reduction of uncertainties among the participants. These joint actions, together with strategic collaboration, contribute to an increase in investment in specific assets, such as dedicated production lines or specialised vehicle fleets to serve partners. The study provides an analysis of logistical performance and transaction cost elements not previously investigated, including urgent deliveries and deliveries during periods of high demand, contract negotiation and renegotiation, waiting time for agreements to be reached, contingency logistics planning, and various cultural, psychosocial and geographical aspects of the supplier-retailer relationship. Managerial implications, research limitation and future research are also discussed.
Interrelationships among Facets of Self, Motivation, and Conspicuous and Sustainable Consumption Behaviour
Authors: Nguyen T. , Ngamsiriudom W. , Pelton L. , Dubinsky A.
Published: September 2024

The current study focuses on a process the current researchers label intra-negotiation-which deals with resolution of an individual's potential conflict across facets of oneself-and its influence on two distinctly different kinds of consumption (one favouring consumption, the other reducing the import of it). Specifically, we explore the discrepancy between actual-, ideal-, and ought-self and investigate the effect of these gaps on consumption behaviour. Moreover, attention is given to the association between three dominant human motives and consumption behaviour. The findings reveal that (1) ideal-actual self-discrepancy is inversely associated with achievement motivation, and (2) affiliation motivation is negatively related to conspicuous consumption. Affiliation motivation is ascertained to be positively related to sustainable consumption, whereas power motivation is discerned to be positively associated with conspicuous consumption. Neither conspicuous nor sustainable consumption is associated with the ideal-actual self or ought-actual self discrepancy. Possible rationales for the findings of the study, as well as study implications, are proffered.

Authors: Berumen S.A. , Perez-Megino L.P. , Arriaza Ibarra K.
Published: September 2024

The objective of this paper is to provide a tool of practical significance for HR managers and firm executives. This tool, which is called Extrinsic Motivation Index (EMI), is meant to measure the extrinsic motivation of employees. By measuring employees' extrinsic motivation, managers are able to track job satisfaction and, subsequently, implement measures aiming both to raise job satisfaction and to improve organizational commitment. In order to test the validity of the model, we apply the EMI to Faculty members at Spanish and German universities. We also carry out simulation experiments in order to to address all possible situations an organization most probably will have to deal with. The results point out significant differences in the level of motivation and commitment of Faculty members. Additionally, the analysis shows several ways in which an organization may manage job satisfaction issues according to on its level of resources.

Published: September 2024

Agricultural biomass supply chain consists of a number of interacted sequential operations affected by various variables, such as weather conditions, machinery systems, and biomass features. These facts make the process of biomass supply chain as a complex system that requires computational tools, e.g. simulation and mathematical models, for their assessment and analysis. A biomass supply chain simulation model developed on the ExtendSim 8 simulation environment is presented in this paper. A number of sequential operations are applied in order biomass to be mowed, harvested, and transported to a biorefinery facility. Different operational scenarios regarding the travel distance between field and biorefinery facility, number of machines, and capacity of machines are analyzed showing how different parameters affect the processes within biomass supply chain in terms of time and cost. The results shown that parameters such as area of the field, travel distance, number of available machines, capacity of the machines, etc. should be taken into account in order a less time and/ or cost consuming machinery combination to be selected.
Supervisor's behavioral complexity: Ineffective in the call center
Authors: Leon F.R. , Leon A. , Morales O.
Published: September 2024

An ample repertoire of leadership behaviors available to the manager is expected to guarantee his/her effectiveness transcending situations, but research in the call-center context has identified a specific form of effective supervision: people-oriented leadership. The purpose of this paper is to compare the effectiveness of leader behavioral complexity vis-a-vis people-oriented supervision. 268 employees out of 728 of a Peruvian call center filled in an on-line survey that included, among other questionnaires, the Competing Values Framework Managerial Behavior Instrument in reference to their front-line supervisor. The study analyzed the relationships between supervisory leadership and subordinate turnover intention and absenteeism. Behavioral complexity, like people-oriented leadership, predicted subordinate turnover intention but did not predict subordinate absenteeism, which people-oriented leadership did when other leadership orientations (to change, results, processes) were held constant. Our explanations consider that absenteeism is a concrete behavior and turnover intention an abstract attitude. The findings are consistent with the call-center literature, suggest important boundaries to the concept of manager behavioral complexity, and highlight the need for contingency theories of leadership effectiveness.
The relationship between corporate social responsibility and employee engagement - A social exchange perspective
Authors: Memon K.R. , Ghani B. , Khalid S.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this article is to investigate the impact of internal CSR on Employee Engagement through a mediation-moderation mechanism in a developing country, using social exchange theory. In this empirical study, 300 self-reported questionnaires were randomly distributed among the employees of 25 companies, from the FMCG and Telecom sectors of Pakistan. Data collected from these employees were further analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis using the structural equation modeling technique, using the latest available version of software Smart PLS 3. The results of confirmatory factor analysis prove the hypothesized direct effects of corporate social responsibility on employee engagement. The findings also indicate the positive mediating role of trust in the relationship between internal corporate social responsibility and employee engagement. However, the moderator Leader-Member exchange did not demonstrate any effect. The study encourages practitioners to focus on building trust in employees for improved participation in the firm's processes, use new ways of conveying the concerns to employees through various human resource interventions and leader-member exchange mechanisms. However, since the research has been conducted in a single country, i.e. Pakistan, with a limited number of respondents, therefore, it cannot be generalized, whereas research in different countries with a larger sample may bring interesting/contrasting results.
The Impact of Ethical Leadership on the Intention to Stay among the Generation-Y Workforce of MNCs in Penang, Malaysia: Mediating Role of Employee Rewards
Authors: Ng Y.N. , Salamzadeh Y.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of the intention to stay for Gen-Y employees of multinational corporations (MNC) in Penang, Malaysia. Specifically, this research aims to assess the impact of ethical leadership as the independent variable on employees' intention to stay as the dependent variable. In addition, the influence of employee rewards as mediator in these correlations is also examined. The survey was conducted among 138 Gen-Y employees currently employed in various MNCs in Penang, Malaysia. Data analysis is done via IBM SPSS for respondent profiling and SmartPLS for the construct variable analysis of goodness of data, reliability analysis, and the hypothesis testing of independent and mediating variables. The results show that the independent variable of ethical leadership has no positive correlation to the intention to stay of Gen-Y employees of MNCs in Penang, Malaysia. At the same time, the independent variable of employee rewards observes its dimension of pay and recognition (work appreciation) positively correlated to the dependent variable, while the dimension of promotion is surprisingly not. Accordingly, pay and recognition were found to mediate the relationship of ethical leadership to intention to stay. The subject of employee retention and turnover has been a common area of research in the field of social science, yet most of the studies have been done outside the Malaysian context. Further, most of the older studies have become irrelevant due to the dramatic demographical changes in the workforce, where the transition of the generation cohort has become more apparent in recent years. This study brings value in that the findings will close the gaps related to the dimensions proposed and is expected to help formulate a robust human capital retention strategy, critical to business sustainability.

Published: September 2024

Cognizant of the growing importance of internal control as a corporate governance mechanism in organizations, this paper investigates factors that are associated with internal audit effectiveness. Additionally, this paper also investigates the relationship between internal audit effectiveness and internal audit quality. A total of 102 questionnaires were collected from internal auditors and chief audit executives of 12 multinational companies in Malaysia. The data was analyzed through structural equation modeling by using SmartPLS Software 3.0. The findings reveal that management support, interdepartmental coordination and the support and acceptance of auditees were associated with internal audit effectiveness. Conversely, the findings also revealed that independence, objectivity and competence (the three building blocks of internal audit effectiveness) were also related to internal audit quality. The study contributes to the agency theory by highlighting the factors associated with the effectiveness of internal audits and quality audit outcomes to protect the best interest of principals while fulfilling the corporate governance imperative. This study also contributed to the institutional theory by highlighting how proper structures and systems can lead to a culture of governance and internal controls. The study confirmed the significance of interdepartmental coordination and the support and acceptance of auditees towards internal audit effectiveness, the exploration of which remains limited in current literature.

Authors: Bataineh M.S.E. , Zainal S.R.M. , Muthuveloo R. , Yasin R. , Al Wali J. , Al Wali M.I.
Published: September 2024

As an organizational behaviour, job performance can be described from two perspectives, namely organizational citizenship behaviour and task performance. To enhance the concept of job performance, especially in servicing jobs (e.g., nursing), recent literature has considered the construct of adaptive performance. Thus, the major purpose of this research is to analyze the nexus between inclusive leadership (IL) and adaptive performance (AP) among private hospital nurses in Jordan using innovative work behaviour (IWB) as a mediating variable. Our study uses questionnaires to collect data from 169 nurses who work in different private hospitals in Jordan. The nature of the study is quantitative and cross-sectional, with individuals as the unit of analysis. The survey questionnaires, which consist of measures of IL, AP, and IWB, were distributed to the full-time nurses in the hospitals. The empirical outcomes show that IL has a direct and significant predictive effect on AP, and an indirect predictive effect through innovative work behaviour. This study discusses the practical and theoretical implications of the empirical results. The outcomes of this study could help practitioners and policy makers to create effective IL and IWB that can enhance employees' adaptability towards their organization with a view to boosting their AP.
Impact of Consumer Inertia on Mobile Commerce Adoption under the Influence of Market Isomorphism Effects
Authors: Hui T.C. , Marikan D.A.b.A.
Published: September 2024

This study examines consumer mobile commerce adoption through consumer adoption behaviour from intention to use into adoption under the influence of consumer inertia and market isomorphism. The presence of inertia elements could naturally act as an inhibiting agent in adopting consumer technological systems. With increasing social networking media, which resulted in increasing social interactions, these surrounding social forces could spur change behaviour that could subsequently influence consumers' adoption decisions, for example, market isomorphic forces. This study uses partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to analyse 403 collected questionnaires from individuals above 20 years old and who own at least one smartphone. The derived results show behavioural intention to use positively influenced consumer inertia. The natural inhibiting role of consumer inertia is weakened by two market isomorphism forces (i.e., coercive pressures and normative pressures), thus leading to positivity toward mobile commerce channel adoption. However, mimetic pressures were statistically insignificant. Empirical findings confirm the intercorrelation of consumer inertia 1st order dimensions, and market isomorphism discriminant validity. This study also highlights the importance of inertial factors and market isomorphic forces that retailers or service providers need to consider before implementing mobile commerce app systems.
Exploring Willingness to Adopt Contact Tracing Applications: A Study with Norwegian Citizens
Authors: Ødeskaug C. , Gjertsen T.V. , Gupta S. , Pappas I.O.
Published: September 2024

Amid discussions on the efficacy of digital contact tracing (DCT) during COVID-19, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health's application, Smittestopp, faced criticism for perceived privacy intrusions. Despite its relaunch without GPS-tracking, skepticism persisted due to initial issues. This study proposes a model to assess DCT adoption, focusing on Norwegian citizens' privacy concerns, trust, and risk beliefs, particularly towards Smittestopp. The moderating role of emotions is also examined. Findings indicate that privacy concerns inversely affect trust and enhance risk beliefs. Trust and perceived advantages bolster the intention to use the application, while risk beliefs reduce it. Negative emotions moderate the relationship between risk beliefs and intention to use, whereas positive emotions amplify the influence of perceived benefits on app usage intention. Intention to use led to actual utilization of the Smittestop app. These insights increase our understanding of how DCT apps are perceived in a country in which citizen trust in government is high, while offering significant implications for managing future crises and contagion spread.
Stimulators and Barriers to Coopetition in Non-Commercial Entities - Case Study of Cultural Institutions
Authors: Juszczyk P.
Published: September 2024

Research on the stimulators and barriers to establishing and developing coopetition has so far been conducted in management literature mainly from the perspective of enterprises. Although the subject of management in the cultural sector has for several decades been attracting more and more interest from researchers and practitioners operating in this field, interest has rarely been shown in the area of coopetition, while analysis has never been conducted into the stimulating factors and barriers to coopetition among cultural institutions. Taking into account the specificity of the functioning of non-commercial organizations, including the context of such organizationsâ activities in the field of culture, as well as the growing role of public and non-profit organizations in the economy, the aim of this article is to identify the stimulators and barriers to establishing and developing coopetition in non-commercial organizations based on the example of cultural institutions. The research results are the product of qualitative field research conducted among 42 museums in Poland. Based on the research, 18 stimulators and 11 barriers to establishing and developing coopetition among cultural institutions were identified.

Authors: Didonet R.S. , Frega R.J. , Toaldo M. M. A. , Diaz G.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this paper is to verify the alignment between market orientation and supply chain integration practices for improving performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). A model of the relationships between variables was derived from the literature. Data from 327 SMEs were analysed by confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) to verify the relationships. The findings show that market orientation indirectly and positively influences performance via supply chain integration. The direct relationship between market orientation (MO) and supply chain integration (SCI) was also confirmed. Likewise, the relationship between market orientation and supply chain integration was found to be strong and positive. The findings suggest that the generation of information in market oriented SMEs favours their sharing information both inter- and intra-organizational. A discussion of these findings, the implications for practice, and proposals for further research are provided.

Background: Most uterine ruptures occur in pregnant women, though it has been reported in non-pregnant women when the uterus is exposed to trauma, infection, or cancer. The aim: The aim of this study to show about prevalence, risk factor, management of first trimester uterine rupture. Methods: By the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. Result: Eight publications were found to be directly related to our ongoing systematic examination after a rigorous three-level screening approach. Subsequently, a comprehensive analysis of the complete text was conducted, and additional scrutiny was given to these articles. Conclusion: Uterine rupture in the first trimester of pregnancy is a rare and life-threatening occurrence that can be safely and conservatively treated. The main driving factor behind a scarred uterus is previous caesarean section. Delay in definitive management causes significant fetal morbidity and mortality. For best outcomes, vaginal birth after a previous cesarean section needs close monitoring in appropriately prepared units with the ability to perform immediate cesarean delivery and provide advanced neonatal support.

Published: September 2024

Accurately determining rental costs for properties in specific locations is crucial for influencing market dynamics and housing decisions for both homeowners and prospective tenants. This study presents a data-driven predictive analytics model designed to forecast house rents for students in Lokoja, North-Central Nigeria, using machine learning techniques. The research involved meticulous data collection from students residing within the three major student-dominated localities of Adankolo, Felele, and Crusher in Lokoja. Data preprocessing and feature selection were undertaken to ensure the quality and relevance of the dataset. The dataset comprises eleven predictors and 300 observations. Eventually, seven predictors and 265 observations were used for modeling, with a split of 80% for model training and 20% for testing. Three machine learning algorithms - Random Forest Regression, Linear Regression, and Decision Tree Regression—were evaluated for their predictive accuracy. The Random Forest Regression model emerged as the most accurate, achieving an R2R^2R2 value of 95.2%. Correlation analysis confirmed a strong positive relationship between the selected features (e.g., number of rooms, furniture) and rental prices. A user-friendly interface was developed to facilitate rent predictions based on user inputs. The findings underscore the model’s robustness and its potential for real-world application in the real estate market. Suggestions for future work include incorporating additional features, expanding the geographic scope, and exploring advanced machine learning techniques to further enhance model accuracy and applicability.
Intersecting Perspectives: Exploring Theories of Civilizational Decline and The Case of the United States
Authors: Hao Anwen
Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the potential indicators of civilizational decline in the United States by synthesizing theories from Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson, Collapse by Jared Diamond, and How Civil Wars Start by Barbara F. Walter. Acemoglu and Robinson attribute the success or failure of civilizations to the nature of their political and economic institutions, distinguishing between inclusive and extractive systems. Diamond focuses on environmental factors and societal responses to ecological challenges, while Walter explores the causes and indicators of civil disorder. By examining and comparing these arguments and their case studies, the paper reveals how these theories complement and conflict with each other. Applying these insights to contemporary America, the analysis identifies potential signs of decline, such as wealth inequality, environmental degradation, and political factionalism. Despite these indicators, the paper also highlights the potential for resilience and improvement, emphasizing the importance of addressing both institutional and environmental challenges to foster a sustainable and prosperous future. Ultimately, it underscores the dual necessity of acknowledging problems and maintaining hope to motivate constructive action and societal progress.

Published: September 2024

This research seeks to determine how much Al2O3 nanoparticles can alter the rheological properties and cutting carrying capacity of bentonite-water drilling fluids when different concentration is applied. The aim is to explore these phenomena. The purpose of the research is to produce and describe drilling fluid using nanoparticles and evaluate its cutting-capture capability. The study examined the physiochemical, rheological, and filtration properties, as well as the cutting carry index (CCI) of samples produced from drilling in various concentrations of Al2O3nanoparticles. The control mud was created using bentonite with a concentration of 2.8g (0% Al2O3) without any nanoparticles. Al2O3 was discovered to enhance the plastic viscosity, apparent viscousness, and yield point, but inhibit the gel strength of the drilling fluid. Nevertheless, The Power Law Model was used to describe the Rheological behavior of the prepared mud samples, with a flow behavior index (n) less than 1, which indicated that the formulated muddy samples were all pseudo plastic fluids, ideally suitable for drilling fluid. According to the study, the addition of MgO and Al2O3 nanoparticles can affect the cutting carrying index, resulting in a high-cutting carrying Index that enhances the hole cleaning potential of the drilling mud. The findings of this study indicate a high cutting carrying capacity index, indicating the feasibility of using nanoparticles in drilling operations.

Koperasi adalah badan usaha yang beranggotakan orang perorangan atau badan hukum koperasi sebagai gerakan ekonomi rakyat yang berdasarkan asas kekeluargaan. Koperasi dan UMKM memiliki peran yang lebih besar terhadap PDB dibanding unit usaha besar. Berbagai
kebijakan untuk mengembangkan UMKM mulai dari subsidi bunga pinjaman, restrukturisasi kredit, pemberian jaminan modal kerja dan insentif perpajakan sampai berbagai pembinaan ketrampilan dan manajemen. Menurut Kementerian Koperasi dan UMKM dalam Abi Pratiwa Siregar (2020) tidak sedikit koperasi yang mati suri, hal ini menunjukkan masih terdapat persoalan UMKM yang perlu mendapat prioritas penyelesaian agar lebih berkontribusi pada perekonomian nasional. Permasalahan koperasi di luar bidang keuangan antara lain kualitas dan kontinuitas produksi, akses pemasaran, packaging product, kualitas SDM/ pelaku UMKM di bidang manajerial, keuangan dan produksi. Berdasarkan fenomena gap tersebut, penelitian mengambil tema Analisis Aspek Kelembagaan (Studi Kasus Pada Pemeringkatan Koperasi di Kabupaten Semarang Tahun 2020). Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah Koperasi di Kabupaten Semarang yang terdaftar di Dinas Koperasi, Usaha Kecil, Menengah, Perdagangan dan Perindustrian Kabupaten Semarang. Teknik pengambilan sample menggunakan sampel pertimbangan (judgment sampling) yaitu koperasi hasil pemeringkatan di Kab. Semarang tahun 2020 dengan kualifikasi “Berkualitas“ dan
kualifikasi “Tidak Berkualitas. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan nilai “Independent Samples Test” pada variances assumed nilai Sig. (2-tailed) sebesar 0.000 < 0.05 maka dapat disimpulkan terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna aspek kelembagaan koperasi berkualifikasi berkualitas dan koperasi berkualifikasi tidak berkualitas.
