Linking Transformational Leadership to Organizational Learning Culture and Employee Performance: the Mediation-Moderation Model
Authors: Udin Udin 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study focuses on examining the role of organizational learning culture as a mediator and moderator variable between transformational leadership and employee performance. The model and the relationship between these variables have been tested at the community health center in Indonesia.

Theoretical framework: In The Full Range Leadership Model, Avolio and Bass (1991) offer transformational leadership as one of the most effective leadership styles in mobilizing employees and advancing modern organizations. Transformational leadership encourages employees' self-confidence, optimism and commitment to better continue learning in order to achieve superior performance. However, based on the inconsistent findings, mediator and moderator variables are required to confirm a clearer relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance. Therefore, the novelty of this study is to extend organizational learning culture as a mediating and moderating variable to link these relationships.

Design/methodology/approach: All permanent employees who work in the community health center sector have been contacted to serve as research samples. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) utilizing SmartPLS 3.0 software is used to verify the proposed hypotheses.

Findings: The findings evidence indicated that transformational leadership is significantly associated with employee performance and organizational learning culture. Furthermore, organizational learning culture is significantly associated with employee performance. In addition, organizational learning culture exhibits a mediating and moderating role between transformational leadership and employee performance.

Research, Practical & Social implications: The evidence of this study offer theoretical and practical implications for strengthening organizational learning culture in the workplace in order to improve sustainable employee performance.

Originality/value: This study provides and offers an academic contribution regarding the effect of organizational learning culture in mediating and moderating the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance at the community health center in Indonesia.

Published: May 2023

Purpose: Change can be bewildering, alarming, exhausting and risky but at the same time efficacious, productive, beneficial, and salutary. In the current, ever evolving work dynamics, change is the only constant. So, managing change is very important when it comes to any organisation. It is an inevitable process for both individuals and organizations. The main purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the impact of organizational agility in change management process for a successful transition.

Theoretical Framework: To keep pace with the demands of ever-changing technology, competition, and other socio-economic factors, it has become very important for organizations to act with agility when a change occurs. Moreover because of the current competitive trends, the main shift can be seen towards the agile paradigm. In our current expeditious work environment, it has become difficult to adopt and function with an existing change model with many steps.

Design/Methodology/Approach: Secondary data analysis method is used, which involves a thorough exploratory search of existing data available at varied sources. For the review and evaluation, content analysis was carried out for 115 manuscripts to exclude the irrelevant ones. But after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria 62 papers were selected and analysed, considering time frame, objectives, and related information.

Findings: Organizational agility helps in undertaking change in a faster way as it equips employees with required knowledge and skills to efficaciously navigate change, adapting them to thrive in rapid changing environment. Organizational change agility is the unification of organizational operations, attributes and employees using advanced technology.

Research, Practical and Social Implications: The study identifies the importance of agility in change management for a successful transition in any organizations. Though change management is a well-studied subject, the success rate of any change process remains low. Incorporating agility can help in overcoming many crucial problems faced by organizations due to its flexibility, transparency, speed, and proper training.

Originality / Value: This study is an inventive attempt to enhance the management practices in relation to change management of organizations, by incorporating agility factor.

Detecting Sticky Costs in Iraqi Industrial Companies an Empirical Study of a Sample of Iraqi Companies Registered on Iraq Stock Exchange
Authors: Al-Kanani Majeed Musa , Ali Jaber H. , Mashkoor Imad A. S. AL 
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This research aims to reveal the sticky costs in Iraqi joint stock companies.

Theoretical framework: Sticky costs refer to the costs that increase with the increase in revenues by a greater amount than their decrease in exchange for a similar decrease in revenues. To manage cost, it is important to understand and know the behavior of cost.

Design/methodology/approach: This research uses inductive and descriptive analytical methods that is commonly used in applied and field studies on accounting and management issues, as well as in literature and empirical studies to verify research proposals. This study adopted multiple logarithmic linear regression analysis estimated by ordinary least squares (OLS) to examine asymmetrical behavior of selling costs, general and administrative costs, and costs of goods sold individually and collectively (total costs) for a sample (101) of published lists of Iraqi joint stock companies registered in Iraqi Stock Exchange for the period 2010-2019.

Findings: The results showed that sticky behavior of selling and general and administrative costs and their components is a common phenomenon in cost behavior of Iraqi joint stock companies during the study period, while costs of goods sold, and total costs are not. The latter may have been showing anti-sticky behavior.

Research, Practical & Social implications: Our work contrasts the conventional model of cost behaviour, in which costs move proportionately with changes in activity, with an alternative model, in which sticky costs emerge. This is because managers consciously shift the resources devoted to activities.

Originality/value: The sticky cost research that has been done in relation to the initial sticky cost research, particularly in industrialised nations like the UAS, Uk, and Canada, is the main emphasis of this study. Future research will take into account how sticky research is developing in any other nations, which could expand our understanding of sticky cost research as a whole.
