Purpose: The aim of this paper is to clarify the human resource management (HRM) literature in small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by empirically identifying possible combinations of HRM practices from the perspective of managers, and analyzing the relationships among them and with organizational performance in order to identify which combinations are most effective.Design/Methodology/Approach: Using the AMO (Ability- Motivation-Opportunity) framework, we ask whether there are significant interactions between AMO-based HRM bundles and, if so, to what degree and by what means they influence organizational performance. To explore this question, we tested a theoretical model using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques and compared the interaction and main effects. The research sample comprises SMEs operating in the Basque Region of Spain.Findings: The study confirms the existence of hierarchies among bundles. The practices most strongly related to the SMEs’ performance lie in the bundle of motivation-enhancing practices. The results indicate that motivation-enhancing practices have a positive effect on organizational performance and when they are combined with ability-enhancing practices this effect grows.Research limitations/implications: The cross-sectional nature of the data means that it is not possible to establish clear causal relationships among the variables studied. It would therefore be beneficial in the future to use longitudinal designs and examine cause-effect over time, as well as use samples from other geographic locations.Practical Implications: High-performance HRM practices in the three Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) dimensions should not automatically be assumed to be complementary in an SME context, as many managers believe. Our results suggest that managers would be well advised to adopt motivational practices, combining them with training, to improve SMEs’ performance.Originality / value: This is one of the few studies to focus on testing the interaction effects among dimensions of Ability-Motivation-Opportunity-enhancing-practices on SMEs’ organizational performance, as observed by managers. It will encourage SME managers to consider more carefully the possible combinations of AMO dimensions and to focus on those combinations most likely to have positive effects.
目的：本文旨在从管理者的视角出发，通过实证研究确定人力资源管理实践的可能组合，并分析它们之间以及它们与组织绩效之间的关系，从而确定哪些组合最有效，从而澄清中小型企业（SMEs）中的人力资源管理（HRM）文献：我们利用 AMO（能力-动机-机会）框架，询问基于 AMO 的人力资源管理组合之间是否存在显著的相互作用，如果存在，它们对组织绩效的影响程度和影响方式如何。为了探讨这个问题，我们使用偏最小二乘法-结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）技术检验了一个理论模型，并比较了交互效应和主效应。研究样本包括西班牙巴斯克地区的中小企业：研究证实了捆绑之间存在等级关系。与中小型企业绩效关系最密切的做法属于激励型做法束。研究结果表明，提高积极性的做法对组织绩效有积极影响，当这些做法与提高能力的做法相结合时，这种影响会越来越大：数据的横截面性质意味着不可能在所研究的变量之间建立明确的因果关系。因此，今后最好采用纵向设计，研究一段时间内的因果关系，并使用其他地理位置的样本：能力-动机-机会（AMO）三个维度的高效人力资源管理实践不应像许多管理者所认为的那样，在中小型企业中自动被认为是相辅相成的。我们的研究结果表明，管理者最好采取激励措施，并将其与培训相结合，以提高中小企业的绩效：这是为数不多的重点测试能力-激励-机会-提升-实践各维度对中小企业组织绩效的交互影响的研究之一，正如管理者所观察到的那样。它将鼓励中小企业管理者更仔细地考虑AMO各维度的可能组合，并关注那些最有可能产生积极影响的组合。

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to see the impact of the presence of a woman board of commissioners (WBoC) on firm performance (FP). In addition, this study looked at the effect of moderation of family ownership (FO) on the influence of WBoC on FP.Design/methodology/approach: This study used secondary data with a sample of all companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021. The study used a total of 788 observations. The data were analyzed using moderate regression analysis with unbalanced panel data.Findings: The results revealed that WBoC did not affect TQ and ROA. Empirical research shows that FO strengthens WBoC in increasing ROA and TQ.Research limitations/implications: In Indonesia, the portion of the representation of each company's woman board of commissioners is only one member on average at 78%. As many as 22% of companies with a board of commissioners are more or equal to 2 members.Practical implications: This study also serves as a guide for shareholders in selecting competent woman boards of commissioners for an effective supervisory system that drives the company's success.Originality/value: This study analyzes the impact of share ownership dominated by family companies on the relationship between the existence of a woman board of commissioners and firm performance. Therefore, this research is significant to understand the role of FO in helping women build leadership, gain recognition, and be empowered to improve firm performance.

Purpose: This research examines the role of firm performance in the effect of a two-tier independent board on green innovation practices.Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a simple mediation model-4 using the Hayes Process approach to OLS regression with the R package. The dataset uses a total 518 public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2017 to 2019, having 1,554 firm-year observations. Findings: The study revealed, based on the two-tier system, the role of a composite independent board on firm performance and green innovation is positive and significant. However, individual results for both independent commissaries and directors in terms of firm performance and green innovation practices are not significant. This result implies that a composite of independent boards is essential to reduce and mitigate the failure of corporate governance.Research limitations/implications: This research only applied a sample of companies from one country which adopted two-tier system. Future research might apply as a comparative analysis of those countries group with two-tier system versus countries group with one-tier system.Practical implications: First, companies need to enhance the knowledge and expertise of both independent directors and independent commissaries to improve their roles. Second, it is important to provide support for the campaign and incentives for green innovation practices. Third, insight drawn from this study leads to the latest regulation from the Financial Services Authority (as the representative of the Indonesian government), whereby independent directors are no longer mandatory for publicly listed companies starting in December 2021 and must be evaluated because the composite independent board is an effective tool to execute green projects and to accelerate the SDG agenda in 2030.Social Implications: The social implication of this study is companies’ awareness to produce more eco-based products, which are expected by stakeholders, can be actualized. Also, public perception shows companies with green products have better performance.Originality/value: This research is the first study examining the mediating role of firm performance on the effect of a two-tier independent board on green innovation practices. Second, this study introduces the latest methodology for the simple mediation model using a Hayes-based approach in the field of accounting with an open-source software R package.
目的：本研究探讨了企业绩效在两级独立董事会对绿色创新实践的影响中的作用：本研究采用简单中介模型-4，使用 Hayes Process 方法和 R 软件包进行 OLS 回归。数据集使用了2017年至2019年在印度尼西亚证券交易所上市的共518家上市公司，共1554个公司年观测值。研究结果研究发现，基于双层体系，复合型独立董事会对公司绩效和绿色创新的作用是正向且显著的。然而，独立小卖部和董事在企业绩效和绿色创新实践方面的个体结果并不显著。这一结果表明，复合型独立董事会对于减少和缓解公司治理失灵至关重要：研究局限性/启示：本研究仅应用了一个国家采用两级制的公司样本。未来的研究可能会对采用两级制的国家组与采用一级制的国家组进行比较分析：首先，公司需要加强独立董事和独立专员的知识和专业技能，以提高他们的作用。第二，必须为绿色创新实践活动提供支持和激励。第三，从本研究中获得的启示有助于金融服务管理局（作为印尼政府的代表）制定最新法规，规定从 2021 年 12 月起，上市公司不再强制要求独立董事，必须对其进行评估，因为复合型独立董事会是执行绿色项目和加快 2030 年可持续发展目标议程的有效工具：本研究的社会意义在于，企业生产更多生态型产品的意识可以实现，这也是利益相关者的期望。此外，在公众看来，拥有绿色产品的公司会有更好的业绩：本研究首次探讨了企业绩效对两级独立董事会对绿色创新实践影响的中介作用。其次，本研究在会计领域引入了基于 Hayes 方法的简单中介模型的最新方法，并使用了开源软件 R 包。

Purpose: This study examines the impact of social media influencers (SMIs) on online repurchase intentions through brand trust and customer engagement in the cosmetics sector.Design/methodology/approach: The study framework and hypotheses in this paper were tested using a questionnaire survey approach, with the consumer as the unit of analysis. The study’s main target was individuals who purchase cosmetics products through social media platforms. Questionnaire items were created using a measurement scale employed in an earlier study. A Likert scale of seven points, ranging from 1 to 7, was used to grade the questionnaire items. Responses ranged from strong disagreement to strong agreement.Findings: In general, this study revealed that social media influencers have a significant positive direct impact on brand trust, customer brand engagement, and online repurchase intentions. Moreover, social media influencers were the most vital determinant of online repurchase intention, followed by brand trust and customer brand engagement. Moreover, customer brand engagement had a significant positive impact on brand trust. Additionally, brand trust and customer brand engagement impacted significantly and positively on online repurchase intention. The mediation analysis results found that customer brand engagement did not mediate the positive impact of social media influencers on online repurchase intention. Furthermore, it was found that brand trust mediated the positive impact of social media influencers on online repurchase intentions. This study is among the first to offer empirical evidence to demonstrate that social media influencers act as a route to online repurchase intention through brand trust and customer brand engagement.Research limitations/implications: This study has several limitations. The first one is that it was only conducted in one country. Using samples from a single country (Jordan) may produce culture-specific findings that are difficult to generalise across other settings. The second limitation of this study is related to the target population. In this study, researchers surveyed individuals who purchased cosmetics products through social media platforms.Practical implications: As the use of social media rises, social media influencers have an ever-greater impact on customers' online purchase and repurchase intentions, as customers deem influencers to be ideal role models they aim to imitate.Originality/value: The study is highly valuable for marketing strategies, as social media influencers have a powerful impact on effective marketing strategies.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the factors affecting virtual work arrangements (VWAs) and their impact on organizational performance (OP) within Nepalese organizations.Design/methodology/approach: The study utilized a quantitative research methodology, employing a sample size of 408 individuals engaged in a virtual work environment. It conducted empirical research to examine the impact of communication satisfaction (CS), job satisfaction (JS), support in computer anxiety (CA), and personal empowerment (PE) on OP.Findings: The study's findings revealed that CA had the highest significance level (β = 0.466, p < 0.05) in predicting enhanced OP. Likewise, it was seen that PE had a positive impact (β = 0.385, p < 0.05) on OP, indicating that organizational outcomes often improve when individuals experience a sense of empowerment. Additionally, it was worth noting that there was a statistically insignificant but positive association between CA and OP (β = 0.086, p > 0.05), suggesting that CA does not support enhanced OP. In contrast, JS has a negative and insignificant relationship with OP (β = - 0.097, p > 0.05) at VWAs in Nepal.Research Implications/Value: Such findings contribute to a greater comprehension of the factors influencing OP in Nepalese VWAs. In order to have a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between VWAs and OP, future research must examine additional elements and conduct more in-depth investigations.
目的：本研究旨在探讨影响尼泊尔组织内虚拟工作安排（VWA）的因素及其对组织绩效（OP）的影响：本研究采用定量研究方法，对 408 名参与虚拟工作环境的人员进行了抽样调查。研究通过实证研究，探讨了沟通满意度（CS）、工作满意度（JS）、计算机焦虑支持（CA）和个人授权（PE）对工作绩效的影响：研究结果表明，在预测 OP 增强方面，CA 的显著性水平最高（β = 0.466，p < 0.05）。同样，PE 对 OP 也有积极影响（β = 0.385，p < 0.05），这表明当个人体验到授权感时，组织成果往往会得到改善。此外，值得注意的是，CA 与 OP 之间的正相关（β = 0.086，p > 0.05）在统计学上并不显著，这表明 CA 并不支持增强 OP。与此相反，JS 与尼泊尔 VWA 的 OP（β = - 0.097，p > 0.05）呈负相关且不显著：这些研究结果有助于更好地理解影响尼泊尔 VWA OP 的因素。为了全面了解 VWA 与 OP 之间的相互作用，未来的研究必须考察更多因素，并进行更深入的调查。

Purpose: This study outlines the structured dimensions of innovative work behavior (IWB). It interprets and associates the underlying characteristics found in the existing literature to develop a conceptual framework, which provides a comprehensive overview of IWB from the perspective of individual factors. This study also identifies the cognitive and behavioral determinants of individual innovative behavior and the most related management theories. Furthermore, it investigates the quantitative modeling methods used to explore this phenomenon and recommends practical managerial applications to promote employees’ innovative behavior. Design/methodology/approach: The conceptual framework was developed through a systematic literature review, following three fundamental stages: 1) planning, 2) development, and 3) synthesis of the review. We retrieved 637 documents, spanning a 5-year time frame, from both Scopus and Web of Science academic information indexing and retrieval systems. Subsequently, seven inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to determine the eligibility of the studies, incorporating the guidelines from the PRISMA statement. The final sample consisted of 49 scientific articles that answered five guiding questions, leading to the integration of the framework. Findings: This study examines the dimensions of IWB—that is, the generation, introduction, and realization of ideas—by analyzing the fundamental properties mentioned by the authors of the selected documentary sample.

It interprets and associates the underlying characteristics found in the existing literature to develop a conceptual framework, which provides a comprehensive overview of IWB from the perspective of individual factors. This study also identifies the cognitive and behavioral determinants of individual innovative behavior and the most related management theories. Furthermore, it investigates the quantitative modeling methods used to explore this phenomenon and recommends practical managerial applications to promote employees’ innovative behavior. Design/methodology/approach: The conceptual framework was developed through a systematic literature review, following three fundamental stages: 1) planning, 2) development, and 3) synthesis of the review. We retrieved 637 documents, spanning a 5-year time frame, from both Scopus and Web of Science academic information indexing and retrieval systems. Subsequently, seven inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to determine the eligibility of the studies, incorporating the guidelines from the PRISMA statement. The final sample consisted of 49 scientific articles that answered five guiding questions, leading to the integration of the framework. Findings: This study examines the dimensions of IWB—that is, the generation, introduction, and realization of ideas—by analyzing the fundamental properties mentioned by the authors of the selected documentary sample.

Purpose: This study aims to explain the role of line managers in human resource activities. It is a case study in West Midlands.Design/methodology/approach: The trend of line managers (LMs) involvement in human resource (HR) activities has been on-going for a while. There has been a lot of intellectual debate and controversy on the issue. Also, organisations have faced lots of challenges due to this same issue. This study aims to discover how to cope with this problem by utilizing human resources activities. This research adopted a qualitative single case study approach on a University in West Midlands, UK. In the first instance, 35 respondents consisting of line managers and HR practitioners across the Business School were invited to participate in this research. Within the context of LMs, purposive sampling was used.Findings: The findings show that Line Managers that enhances abilities are significantly associated to HR activities. Line Managers that enhance motivation and involvement are significantly assocaited to HR activities. And the results showed that HR respondent 1 to 5 said LMs play an important role and are needed to carry out HR activities.Originality/value: The analysis of the case, highlights the benefits of the novel idea of line managers and human resource practitioners and contributes to the need for greater clarity and knowledge of the barriers in the involvement of LMs in HR activities. Social implications: This study has shown LMs and HR practitioners have their different reserves about working together but the issue presently is, none of them is dispensable so they have to work together. It is necessary for HR practitioners to consult LMs when formulating policies and procedures to ensure balance between business needs and standard policies, and procedures.

Purpose: This paper provides a bibliometric insight into the development of the field with the focus on the role of intangible capital in the economic literature.Design/methodology/approach: A systematic literature review of the development of the field of intangible capital is relying on bibliometric methods, combined with a standard descriptive approach to literature review to add depth. Bibliometric methods are used, focusing primarily on identifying timeline, key authors and author cooperations, most important papers, topics and most cited papers.Findings: After the Corrado et al. (2005, 2006) paper there is a significant number of papers dealing with methodology, measurement and empirical analysis, either of intangible capital as a whole or specific component. The study of the references reveals a clear indirect link between the micro and macro-level research, however a clear void between the very empirical economics and the more conceptual management field.Originality/value: It is the first such comprehensive bibliometric study of the intangible capital literature in economics, and as such complements the approach taken by very few other authors. It sheds light on the most notable authors and papers and their importance in the field, but also highlights the diversity in the literature.

Purpose: The aim of this work is to highlight the advantages of applying the Organic Model to organizations. It considers the example of European Ethical Banking, which came about as the result of the impetus of this model. This work highlights the trajectory of Ethical Banking in Spain and examines why it has not been affected by a crisis that triggered the disappearance of dozens of centennial Savings Banks.Design/methodology: An exploratory methodology is used, consisting of a bibliographic search for the influence of the Organic Model on the creation of European Ethical Banking. The history of Ethical Banking in Spain is also analyzed, contrasting it with that of the Savings Banks in the same period. Interviews are included with prominent individuals associated with Ethical Banking and the Organic Model.Findings: The Organic Model places paramount importance on Identity in organizations. Ethical Banking and the Savings Banks had similar fundamental impulses, but the latter gradually lost their identity. This work relates the crisis that led to the disappearance of the Savings Banks to their loss of Identity. In the same context, Ethical Banking was reinforced in Spain.Originality/value: The structural division of the Organic Model to analyze organizations (with their own culture and identity, people, processes and resources) facilitates the fulfillment of their purpose and preserves the influence of values in decision-making. The Organic Model provides coherence to the members of the organization and aligns them with its identity. The economic results are not the ultimate goal, but the consequence of efficiently carrying out the mission, and at the same time they provide positive value to society, culture and the environment. It is a shared benefit.
