Purpose

The purpose of this research is to present an integrated methodological framework to aid in performance stewardship of management institutions according to their strategies based on a holistic evaluation encompassing social, economic and environmental dimensions.

Design/methodology/approach

A Mamdani fuzzy inference system (FIS) approach was adopted to design the quantitative models with respect to balanced scorecard (BSC) perspectives to demonstrate dynamic capability. Individual models were developed for each perspective of BSC using Mamdani FIS. Data was collected from subject matter experts in management education.

Findings

The proposed methodology is able to successfully compute the scores for each perspective. Effective placement, teaching learning process, faculty development and systematic feedback from the stakeholders were found to be the key drivers for revenue generation. The model is validated as the results were well accepted by the head of the institution after implementation.

Research limitations/implications

The model resulting from this study will assist the institution to cyclically assess its performance, thus enabling continuous improvement. The strategy map provides the causality of the objectives across the four perspectives to aid the practitioners to better strategize. Also this study contributes to the literature of BSC as well to the applications of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques.

Originality/value

Mamdani FIS integrated BSC model is a significant contribution to the academia of management education to quantitatively compute the performance of institutions. This quantified model reduces the ambiguity for practitioners to decide the performance levels for each metric and the priorities of metrics.

设计/方法/途径 采用马姆达尼模糊推理系统(FIS)方法设计了与平衡计分卡(BSC)视角相关的定量模型,以展示动态能力。使用马姆达尼模糊推理系统为平衡计分卡的每个视角开发了单独的模型。研究结果所提出的方法能够成功计算出每个视角的得分。结果发现,有效的就业安置、教学过程、师资队伍建设和利益相关者的系统反馈是创收的关键驱动因素。研究的局限性/影响本研究得出的模型将有助于该机构周期性地评估其绩效,从而实现持续改进。战略地图提供了四个方面目标的因果关系,帮助从业人员更好地制定战略。此外,本研究还为 BSC 文献以及多标准决策(MCDM)技术的应用做出了贡献。 原创性/价值Mamdani FIS 综合 BSC 模型是对管理教育学术界的一个重大贡献,可以量化计算机构的绩效。这一量化模型减少了从业人员在决定每个指标的绩效水平和指标优先级时的模糊性。

Purpose

The concept of productivity is central to performance management and decision-making, although it is complex and multifaceted. This paper aims to describe a methodology based on the use of Big Data in a cluster analysis combined with a data envelopment analysis (DEA) that provides accurate and reliable productivity measures in a large network of retailers.

Design/methodology/approach

The methodology is described using a case study of a leading kitchen furniture producer. More specifically, Big Data is used in a two-step analysis prior to the DEA to automatically cluster a large number of retailers into groups that are homogeneous in terms of structural and environmental factors and assess a within-the-group level of productivity of the retailers.

Findings

The proposed methodology helps reduce the heterogeneity among the units analysed, which is a major concern in DEA applications. The data-driven factorial and clustering technique allows for maximum within-group homogeneity and between-group heterogeneity by reducing subjective bias and dimensionality, which is embedded with the use of Big Data.

Practical implications

The use of Big Data in clustering applied to productivity analysis can provide managers with data-driven information about the structural and socio-economic characteristics of retailers' catchment areas, which is important in establishing potential productivity performance and optimizing resource allocation. The improved productivity indexes enable the setting of targets that are coherent with retailers' potential, which increases motivation and commitment.

Originality/value

This article proposes an innovative technique to enhance the accuracy of productivity measures through the use of Big Data clustering and DEA. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no attempts have been made to benefit from the use of Big Data in the literature on retail store productivity.

目的生产率的概念是绩效管理和决策的核心,尽管它是复杂和多方面的。本文旨在介绍一种基于大数据的聚类分析方法,结合数据包络分析(DEA),为大型零售商网络提供准确可靠的生产率测量。更具体地说,在进行 DEA 之前的两步分析中使用了大数据,以自动将大量零售商聚类为在结构和环境因素方面具有同质性的群体,并评估零售商在群体内的生产率水平。数据驱动的因子和聚类技术通过减少主观偏差和维度,最大程度地实现了组内同质性和组间异质性,这与大数据的使用是密不可分的。改进后的生产率指数能够设定与零售商潜力相一致的目标,从而提高积极性和承诺。 原创性/价值 本文提出了一种创新技术,通过使用大数据聚类和 DEA 来提高生产率测量的准确性。据作者所知,在有关零售店生产率的文献中,还没有人尝试过利用大数据来提高生产率。

Strategic leadership and team innovation: a qualitative study from the lens of leader–member exchange 战略领导力与团队创新:从领导者与成员交流的角度进行定性研究
IF 3.1 Q2 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2023-12-14 DOI: 10.1108/ijppm-07-2022-0372
Anjali Singh, Sumi Jha

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing team innovation from the perspective of strategic leaders. The study draws from the leader–member exchange (LMX) theory to propose that the quality of exchange the leaders perceive with the team members may provide a useful cue to identify the key elements and processes that may help drive team innovation.

Design/methodology/approach

A qualitative study using a hybrid approach was used, and a thematic analysis was performed. The data were based on 25 interviews collected from strategic leaders using the long interview technique.

Findings

The findings revealed themes and factors influencing innovation orientation among leaders and team members. Five themes were identified, namely modeling leadership behavior, autonomy and psychological safety for teams, organizational structure and technology, innovation and the decision-making process and innovation during times of uncertainty.

Research limitations/implications

Because of the purposefully chosen sample of only leaders who were involved in the innovation process, the research results may lack generalizability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to corroborate the finding using a sample of teams involved in the innovation process.

Practical implications

A conceptual model is proposed with guidance for implementing innovation decisions and strategies in practice.

Originality/value

While the strategic leadership and team innovation literature emphasizes the interaction between leaders and team members, research on how these interactions unfold is still nascent. This paper fulfills these needs from a strategic leader’s perspective.

目的 本研究旨在从战略领导者的角度研究影响团队创新的因素。研究借鉴了领导者-成员交流(LMX)理论,提出领导者与团队成员之间的交流质量可以为识别有助于推动团队创新的关键要素和过程提供有用的线索。研究结果揭示了影响领导者和团队成员创新取向的主题和因素。研究局限/影响由于研究样本仅特意选择了参与创新过程的领导者,研究结果可能缺乏普遍性。原创性/价值虽然战略领导力和团队创新文献强调领导者与团队成员之间的互动,但有关这些互动如何展开的研究仍处于起步阶段。本文从战略领导者的角度出发,满足了这些需求。

How does intellectual capital drive firm performance via dynamic capabilities: evidence from India 知识资本如何通过动态能力驱动企业绩效:来自印度的证据
IF 3.1 Q2 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2023-12-14 DOI: 10.1108/ijppm-10-2022-0555
Bindu Singh, Pratibha Verma

Purpose

This study examines how intellectual capital (IC) drives firm performance via the lens of dynamic capabilities (DCs). Drawing on resource-based view (RBV) and dynamic capability view (DCV), the authors elaborate the mediating role of learning, integration and reconfiguration DC in the Indian banking context.

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of 358 top- and middle-level managers from the Indian banking sector was administered with structured questionnaires for data collection. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and Sobel test were used to analyze the data and test the hypothesized mediating effect.

Findings

The findings reveal that learning and integration DCs are key mediators in IC and banks' performance relationships in an emerging economy context. In contrast, the analysis revealed partial mediating role of reconfiguration DC. Furthermore, the learning DC has been identified as the primary mediating mechanism for transforming bank's IC into performance benefits.

Practical implications

This study provides an important implication for the IC and DC link by empirically developing and validating a model in the Indian banking sector and making a several contributions to the related literature. This sector needs to incorporate and strengthen their IC and DCs to attain enhanced performance in today's dynamic environment. Bank managers can use these findings to bring their knowledge-related activities to channelize specific DCs to transform banks' IC when seeking to improve overall performance. Theoretically, this study extends previous research by outlining a set of organizational elements that tend to influence firm performances with the help of IC, learning, integration and reconfigurations DCs.

Originality/value

Although several studies have investigated the links between IC, DC and firm performance, studies on emerging economies are scarce. This study is one of the most in-depth investigations of the relationship between IC, learning, integration and reconfiguration DCs and firm performance in an integrated framework, with a particular focus on the banking sector of an emerging economy.

目的 本研究从动态能力(DCs)的角度探讨了智力资本(IC)如何推动企业绩效。作者借鉴基于资源的观点(RBV)和动态能力观点(DCV),阐述了印度银行业中学习、整合和重组动态能力的中介作用。研究结果研究结果表明,在新兴经济体背景下,学习和整合DC是IC与银行绩效关系的关键中介。相比之下,分析表明重新配置区块链发挥了部分中介作用。这项研究通过在印度银行业实证开发和验证一个模型,为集成电路和集成电路之间的联系提供了重要的启示,并对相关文献做出了一些贡献。银行业需要纳入并加强集成电路和直流电源,以在当今动态环境中提高绩效。银行管理者可以利用这些发现,在寻求提高整体绩效时,将其与知识相关的活动引导到特定的业务流程中,以转变银行的集成电路。从理论上讲,本研究扩展了以往的研究,概述了一系列组织要素,这些要素往往会在集成电路、学习、整合和重构直流电源的帮助下影响企业绩效。 原创性/价值虽然已有多项研究调查了集成电路、直流电源和企业绩效之间的联系,但有关新兴经济体的研究却很少。本研究是在综合框架下对集成电路、学习型集成电路、整合型集成电路和重构型集成电路与企业绩效之间的关系进行的最深入研究之一,尤其侧重于新兴经济体的银行业。

When in Rome, do as the Romans do: the effect of characteristics of capitalism on environmental performance 入乡随俗:资本主义特征对环境绩效的影响
IF 3.1 Q2 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2023-12-12 DOI: 10.1108/ijppm-04-2023-0193

Purpose

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of characteristics of capitalism on environmental performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors analyzed a sample of 6,257 companies, based in 55 countries and 8 typologies of capitalism. The independent variables are the characteristics of capitalism, measured through five indicators: cooperation between employees and employers, index of economic freedom, local competition between industries, human development index (HDI) and quality of the governance environment. To measure environmental performance, the authors created an index composed of 20 indicators. Data were analyzed using panel data regression and dynamic panel of the generalized method of moments.

Findings

The results indicate that the characteristics of capitalism can shape the environmental behavior of companies. The authors find that in countries with better cooperation between employees and employers, more economic freedom, and competition between firms, in addition to better HDI and national governance, companies have higher environmental performance. When they are in more developed countries, companies have a greater environmental performance.

Practical implications

Managers must consider the country's characteristics of capitalism when making their environmental decisions and strategies. The findings invite governments to incorporate into their regulations mechanisms to protect other interest groups, not just shareholders.

Originality/value

Few studies have examined environmental performance, which is less susceptible to greenwashing. The metric for environmental performance measures the company's concrete effort in relation to environmental issues and not just the disclosure of information. Additionally, the authors examine characteristics of capitalism supported by Varieties of Capitalism, an approach still little explored in the environmental management.

作者分析了 55 个国家和 8 种资本主义类型的 6257 家公司样本。自变量是资本主义的特征,通过五个指标来衡量:雇员与雇主之间的合作、经济自由度指数、行业间的地方竞争、人类发展指数(HDI)和治理环境的质量。为衡量环境绩效,作者创建了一个由 20 个指标组成的指数。研究结果表明,资本主义的特征会影响企业的环境行为。作者发现,在雇员和雇主之间合作较好、经济自由度较高、企业之间存在竞争的国家,除了人类发展指数和国家治理较好之外,企业的环境绩效也较高。实际意义管理者在制定环境决策和战略时,必须考虑资本主义国家的特点。研究结果要求各国政府在其法规中纳入保护其他利益群体(而不仅仅是股东)的机制。原创性/价值很少有研究对不易受 "绿色清洗 "影响的环境绩效进行研究。环境绩效指标衡量的是公司在环境问题上的具体努力,而不仅仅是信息披露。此外,作者还研究了《资本主义的多样性》(Varieties of Capitalism)所支持的资本主义特征,这种方法在环境管理方面的探索仍然很少。

Purpose

Employee expediency is a ubiquitous, unethical phenomenon in the workplace that is largely underresearched. Based on the tenets of conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study investigates the influence of excessive performance pressure on employees' expedient behaviour via moral disengagement. It further examines the moderating role of employees' moral identity in the relationship between performance pressure and employee expediency.

Design/methodology/approach

The data were collected using a multi-wave paper-and-pencil survey amongst 388 sales associates working in pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Bangladesh. A series of hierarchical regression analyses and bootstrapping techniques of the PROCESS macro were conducted to test the hypotheses.

Findings

The findings reveal that performance pressure significantly and positively affects employees' expediency. Additionally, moral disengagement partially mediates the positive relationship between performance pressure and employee expediency. Furthermore, moral identity moderates the direct effect of performance pressure on moral disengagement and the indirect effect of performance pressure on employee expediency through moral disengagement.

Practical implications

Managers are advised to consider the compatibility of economic and moral principles when defining performance targets or evaluating staff performance, as immoral behaviours harm organisations in the long run. Additionally, managers should emphasise candidates with high levels of sensitive moral qualities, such as integrity and moral behaviour, and their abilities should be given preference when hiring new employees, e.g. moral reasoning.

Originality/value

This pioneering study investigates the underlying psychological mechanisms and moral characteristics to unravel the association between performance pressure and employee expediency using the lens of COR theory. The study identified the moral consequences of performance pressure and mitigating strategies to reduce employee expedient behaviour.

目的员工的权宜之计是工作场所中一种无处不在的不道德现象,但对这种现象的研究却很少。本研究以资源保护(COR)理论为基础,探讨了过度的绩效压力通过道德脱离对员工权宜行为的影响。本研究采用多波纸笔调查的方式收集数据,调查对象为在孟加拉国制药公司工作的 388 名销售人员。研究结果研究结果表明,绩效压力对员工的权宜之计有显著的正向影响。此外,道德脱离部分地调节了绩效压力与员工权宜之计之间的正相关关系。此外,道德认同调节了绩效压力对道德脱离的直接影响,以及绩效压力通过道德脱离对员工权宜之计的间接影响。实际意义建议管理者在确定绩效目标或评估员工绩效时,考虑经济原则与道德原则的兼容性,因为从长远来看,不道德行为会损害组织。此外,管理者应重视具有高水平敏感道德品质(如诚信和道德行为)的应聘者,在聘用新员工时应优先考虑他们的能力,如道德推理能力。 原创性/价值这项开创性的研究以 COR 理论为视角,调查了潜在的心理机制和道德特征,以揭示绩效压力与员工权宜之计之间的关联。研究确定了绩效压力的道德后果以及减少员工权宜行为的缓解策略。

The power of embeddedness: how nodal power affects the value appropriation potential of firms in economic networks? 嵌入的力量:节点力量如何影响企业在经济网络中的价值占有潜力?
IF 3.1 Q2 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2023-12-11 DOI: 10.1108/ijppm-11-2022-0564
Saroj Kumar Pani, Madhusmita Tripathy

Purpose

This paper explains why some firms manage to capture disproportionate value from their network of relationships, leading to superior performance. The paper examines how a firm's dependencies affect its value appropriation potential (VAP) in economic networks.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper follows the axiomatic method and the embeddedness perspective of firms to develop an index called nodal power, which captures the power that accrues to a firm in exchange-based economic networks. Thereafter, using the formal method and simulation, it shows nodal power reflects a firm's VAP in economic networks.

Findings

The study analysis and findings prove that a firm's dyadic level exchange relations and the embedded network structure determine its VAP by affecting the nodal power. A firm with lesser nodal power is likely to appropriate less value from its relations even if it equally contributes to the value creation. This finding explains how the structural and relational characteristics of a firm's network enable disproportionate value appropriation.

Practical implications

Nodal power furthers the scope of analyzing firms' economic relationships and changing power equations in dynamic networks. It can help firms build optimal strategic networks and manage the portfolio of relationships by predicting the impact of changing relations on firms' VAP.

Originality/value

The paper's original contribution is to explain, through formal analysis, why and how the structure and nature of relations of firms affect their VAP. The paper also formalizes the power-dependence principle through a dependency-based index called nodal power and uses it to show how interfirm dependencies are key to value appropriation.

目的本文解释了为什么有些公司能够从其关系网络中获取过高的价值,从而取得卓越的业绩。设计/方法/途径 本文采用公理法和企业嵌入性视角,建立了一个名为节点力量的指数,该指数捕捉了企业在基于交换的经济网络中获得的力量。研究分析和结果证明,企业的二元层面交换关系和嵌入式网络结构通过影响节点力决定了企业的 VAP。节点力量较小的企业即使同样为价值创造做出了贡献,也可能从其关系中获取较少的价值。这一发现解释了企业网络的结构和关系特征是如何促成不成比例的价值占有的。本文的原创性贡献在于通过形式化分析,解释了企业关系的结构和性质为何以及如何影响企业的 VAP。本文还通过一个基于依赖关系的指数--节点力量--将力量依赖原则正式化,并用它来说明企业间的依赖关系如何成为价值占有的关键。

The relationship between labour-only procurement and health and safety performance of construction projects 纯劳动力采购与建筑项目的健康和安全绩效之间的关系
IF 3.1 Q2 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2023-12-04 DOI: 10.1108/ijppm-09-2022-0490

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of the characteristics of procurement strategies, in this instance labour-only, on project performance concerning health and safety (H&S), a project performance indicator.

Design/methodology/approach

Using non-probability purposeful and snowballing sampling methods, questionnaires were used to collect data from construction professionals in Nigeria. This was then analysed using descriptive (frequency and mean scores) and inferential statistics (Mann–Whitney-U and Kendall's Tau_b tests).

Findings

The findings indicate a statistically significant negative correlation between ‘the level of client involvement and ‘fatalities' and a positive one with ‘conducting of health and safety risk assessment' and ‘conducting employee surveys on health and safety attitude’. Poor hygiene is found to be the worst lagging indicator, while conducting of inspection is the most adopted leading indicator of project health and safety performance. It also emerged that there is no significant difference in the health and safety performance of projects procured through the procurement strategy in urban and rural areas.

Practical implications

The study provides valuable insight into the complexities in H&S management due to the high level of client involvement in labour-only procurement system (LoPS) projects and the level of diversity in their responsibilities therein. It creates a fundamental direction for developing a detailed framework or guidance notes for client involvement in the integration of H&S into LoPS projects.

Originality/value

This is the first study that examines the influence of the characteristics of procurement strategy on project health and safety performance. Evidence in the literature shows that project delivery outcomes significantly improve if procurement is strategically used, including when it is considered early in projects. However, integrating H&S into procurement strategies has received little attention.

目的:本研究的目的是调查采购战略的特点(在本例中为纯劳力采购战略)对项目绩效指标健康和安全(H&S)方面的项目绩效的影响。设计/方法/方法采用非概率目的和滚雪球抽样方法,使用问卷调查收集尼日利亚建筑专业人员的数据。然后使用描述性统计(频率和平均分数)和推理统计(Mann-Whitney-U和Kendall的Tau_b检验)对其进行分析。调查结果调查结果显示,“客户参与程度”与“死亡人数”呈显著负相关,与“进行健康及安全风险评估”及“进行员工健康及安全态度调查”呈显著正相关。卫生不良是最差的滞后指标,而检查是项目健康安全绩效采用最多的领先指标。还发现,通过采购战略在城市和农村地区采购的项目在健康和安全绩效方面没有显著差异。实际意义本研究对卫生与安全管理的复杂性提供了有价值的见解,这是由于客户高度参与纯劳动力采购系统(LoPS)项目,以及他们在其中责任的多样性水平。它为开发详细的框架或指导说明创建了一个基本方向,以便客户参与将H&S集成到LoPS项目中。原创性/价值这是第一次研究采购战略的特点对项目健康和安全绩效的影响。文献中的证据表明,如果战略性地使用采购,包括在项目早期考虑采购,项目交付结果将显著改善。然而,将H&S整合到采购策略中却很少受到关注。

PurposeWhile firms in developing countries are increasingly adopting lean practices of inventory management, there is limited evidence showing the impact of lean practices on firm performance in countries such as India. Lean practices improve the financial performance of the firms through superior cost-reduction measures and operational efficiencies. This paper examines the impact of inventory leanness in Indian manufacturing firms on their financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors measure inventory leanness based on stochastic frontier analysis (SLA), apart from using conventional measures available in the literature. The authors analyze the impact of inventory leanness on the financial performance of firms by examining data for 12,334 unique Indian manufacturing firms for the period 2009–2018. The authors present a comparative analysis using different methods of inventory leanness and study the effects on firm performance.FindingsFirst, the authors find that only 68 industries out of 411 industries follow lean practices, i.e. most industries do not follow lean practices. Second, the estimation results show that there exists a positive relationship between inventory leanness and firm performance. The results suggest that an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between inventory leanness and firm performance for the entire sample. In particular, 17% of the industries in the sample exhibit such a relationship, and it is sufficiently strong to show up in the average regression results for the entire sample.Originality/valueThe authors introduce a novel measure of inventory leanness named stochastic frontier leanness based on the SFA method used in production economics. It measures leanness by benchmarking the inventory levels against the industry “frontier”. Furthermore, the authors conduct an empirical study of the lean-financial performance relationship with a large panel dataset of Indian firms instead of the survey-based methods that were previously used in the literature.
目的:虽然发展中国家的公司越来越多地采用库存管理的精益实践,但有限的证据表明精益实践对印度等国家的公司绩效的影响。精益实践通过卓越的成本削减措施和运营效率来改善公司的财务绩效。本文考察了印度制造业企业库存精益化对其财务绩效的影响。设计/方法/方法除了使用文献中可用的常规测量方法外,作者还基于随机前沿分析(SLA)测量库存精益度。作者通过检查2009-2018年期间12334家独特的印度制造公司的数据,分析了库存精益对公司财务绩效的影响。本文采用不同的库存精益化方法进行了比较分析,研究了库存精益化对企业绩效的影响。首先,作者发现411个行业中只有68个行业遵循精益实践,即大多数行业不遵循精益实践。第二,估计结果表明库存精益度与企业绩效之间存在正相关关系。结果表明,在整个样本中,库存精益度与企业绩效之间存在倒u型关系。特别是,样本中17%的行业表现出这种关系,并且它足够强,可以在整个样本的平均回归结果中显示出来。基于生产经济学中的SFA方法,提出了一种新的库存精益度度量方法——随机前沿精益度。它通过对照行业“前沿”的库存水平来衡量精益程度。此外,作者利用印度公司的大型面板数据集对精益财务绩效关系进行了实证研究,而不是以前在文献中使用的基于调查的方法。
