Mediation Roles of Organizational Commitment and Teamwork on Strategic Management Practices and Public Organizations' Performance: Theoretical Framework

Abstract

In the rapidly changing economic environment driven by globalization, shifting customer and investor needs, and increasing product-market rivalry, public organizations face immense pressure to enhance their performance. Strategic management practices, which involve the planning, directing, organizing, and controlling of strategies, are essential for achieving organizational objectives. Despite the theoretical and empirical support for the positive impact of strategic management on organizational performance, there is limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms that mediate this relationship. This study explores the theoretical framework of the mediation roles of organizational commitment and teamwork in the relationship between strategic management practices and public organizations' performance. Strategic management, a continuous process encompassing the planning, directing, organizing, and controlling of strategies, is vital for achieving organizational objectives. It involves evaluating business environments, setting goals, and reassessing strategies to ensure their effectiveness. This study posits that organizational commitment enhances teamwork, as committed employees are more inclined to collaborate towards common goals, thus fostering effective team dynamics. Teamwork, in turn, facilitates the implementation of strategic management practices by enabling better information sharing, coordination, and conflict resolution. Consequently, effective teamwork and strong organizational commitment can significantly enhance the impact of strategic management on organizational performance. The findings indicate that cooperation and organizational commitment are essential mediators in the link between strategic management practices and organizational success. This theoretical framework highlights the importance of strategic management in improving organizational performance by reducing costs, developing innovative goods and processes, and enhancing quality, productivity, and market
