Abstract

Purpose

The effect of dynamic capabilities on operational excellence and the moderating effect of environmental dynamism on the relationship between operational excellence and dynamic capabilities in the apparel industry in Sri Lanka were investigated while developing new psychometric scales to assess operational excellence and dynamic capacities constructs.

Design/methodology/approach

We followed the exploratory sequential research design with a mixed-method research approach, aligning with the pragmatic research philosophy. Thus, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were followed.

Findings

Dynamic capabilities positively affect operational excellence, and environmental dynamism moderates the relationship between operational excellence and dynamic capabilities in the apparel industry in Sri Lanka such that when a higher environmental dynamism exists, a weaker positive relationship exists between dynamic capabilities and operational excellence. The two main dimensions of the operational excellence construct are continuous improvement of sustainable operational performance and sustainable competitive advantages. It empirically confirmed that sensing, seizing and reconfiguring capabilities are the three main dimensions of the dynamic capabilities construct.

Research limitations/implications

This study was limited to the apparel industry in Sri Lanka. This research phenomenon should be explored in other industrial sectors worldwide to generalize the findings. The practitioners in the apparel sector may improve the organizational dynamic capabilities to achieve operational excellence and keep a strong positive relationship between dynamic capabilities and operational excellence in a highly dynamic environment if they address out-of-family situations with out-of-the-box thinking.

Originality/value

We generated two new empirical findings: (1) dynamic capabilities positively affect operational excellence, and (2) environmental dynamism moderates the relationship between dynamic capabilities and operational excellence. Also, we introduced validated new scales for assessing operational excellence and dynamic capabilities.

探究服装业动态能力对卓越运营的影响,以及环境动态的调节作用
目的 研究动态能力对斯里兰卡服装业卓越运营的影响,以及环境动态性对卓越运营和动态能力之间关系的调节作用,同时开发新的心理测量量表来评估卓越运营和动态能力。研究结果动态能力对卓越运营产生积极影响,而环境动态性对斯里兰卡服装行业卓越运营与动态能力之间的关系起到调节作用,当环境动态性较高时,动态能力与卓越运营之间的积极关系较弱。卓越运营构建的两个主要维度是持续改进可持续运营绩效和可持续竞争优势。实证证实,感知能力、把握能力和重构能力是动态能力结构的三个主要维度。这一研究现象应在全球其他工业领域进行探索,以推广研究结果。服装行业的从业人员如果能以发散性思维应对家庭以外的情况,就可以提高组织的动态能力,从而实现卓越运营,并在高度动态的环境中保持动态能力与卓越运营之间强有力的正相关关系。原创性/价值我们得出了两个新的经验性发现:(1)动态能力对卓越运营有积极影响;(2)环境动态性调节了动态能力与卓越运营之间的关系。此外,我们还引入了经过验证的新量表,用于评估卓越运营和动态能力。

期刊介绍: ■Organisational design and methods ■Performance management ■Performance measurement tools and techniques ■Process analysis, engineering and re-engineering ■Quality and business excellence management Articles can address these topics theoretically or empirically through either a descriptive or critical approach. The co-Editors support articles that significantly bring new knowledge to the area both for academics and practitioners. The material for publication in IJPPM should be written in a manner which makes it accessible to its entire wide-ranging readership. Submissions of highly technical or mathematically-oriented papers are discouraged.
