116 Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the introduction of value-based payment, the initiation of a quality improvement project, and practices’ performance to refer or administer tobacco cessation counseling to patients. Methods: The Michigan Oncology Quality Consortium (MOQC) is a statewide quality collaborative sponsored by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM). MOQC uses ASCO's Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) for measurement.Value-based payment (VBP) was introduced in 2017 by BCBSM. The VBP is achieved if a region reaches a target established for four QOPI measures. One of the four quality measures is QOPI's core measure 22bb: tobacco cessation counseling administered or patient referred. At the time the VBP was introduced, a subset of MOQC practices chose to initiate a quality project to improve performance on this measure. Analyses describes the performance of all MOQC practices with the introduction of the VBP, and performance of the practices who chose to revise their tobacco cessation processes to address performance. Results: The proportion of patients who were administered or referred to tobacco cessation services in participating MOQC practices was 49% (n = 793 charts) from abstracted rounds Spring 2014 - 2017. After the introduction of VBP, this proportion increased to 58% (n = 307 charts) in Fall 2017. Performance improved on this QOPI measure for both subsets of MOQC practices - those practices that chose to initiate a quality project focused on this measure (n = 19) and practices that selected another measure (n = 27). Practices that developed a quality project improved their aggregate proportion from 46% (Spring 2014-2017, n = 839 charts) to 51% (Fall 2017, n = 266 charts). Practices that focused on another quality measure improved from 51% (Spring 2014-2017, n = 789 charts) to 65% (Fall 2017, n = 265 charts). Conclusions: Our data suggest that the presence of VBP may have had a positive impact on referral patterns for tobacco cessation services for cancer patients. Additional analyses are required to determine if there is a combination or sequencing of VBP and process improvement strategies to optimize the delivery of quality care.

PurposeWith the rise of service economy, many companies are attempting to gain a competitive advantage through service innovation. However, the existing research has not drawn consistent conclusions about the relationship between service innovation and firm performance. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative review on the service innovation-performance relationship based on research findings reported in the extant literature.Design/methodology/approachStudies from 46 peer-reviewed articles were sampled and analyzed. A meta-analytic approach was adopted to conduct a quantitative review on the relationship between service innovation and firm performance, and the effects of any potential moderators were further explored.FindingsThe results found that service innovation has a significant positive impact on firm performance. Additionally, the relationship between service innovation and firm performance is influenced by measurement moderators (economic region and performance measurement), and contextual moderators (firm type, innovation type, customer factors and attitudes toward risk).Originality/valueThe meta-analysis has been used to explore the relationship between service innovation and firm performance, and the findings have contributed to the literature on service innovation, as well as providing future research directions.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between intellectual capital (IC), categorized in terms of four sub-constructs – namely, human capital (HC), relational capital (RC), innovation capital (InnC) and process capital (PrC) – and business performance in the agribusiness industry. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a sample of international agribusiness companies observed over a five-year period, this paper uses correlation and multiple regression analysis to test for the existence of a positive relationship between each IC component and conventional business performance metrics. Findings – The empirical results support the hypotheses that RC and PrC have a positive impact on corporate performance. Counter to the expectations, InnC by itself is negatively associated with performance. Results also failed to confirm the hypothesis that HC directly and positively affects performance. However HC positively moderates the relation between InnC and performance, which suggests that firms that heavily invest in HC are better placed to gain returns from their research and development (R & D) investments. Originality/value – This study expands the existing research on the link between IC and performance by adding fresh evidence from a highly knowledge-intensive sector which has been under-researched thus far. It may also contribute to the specific literature on R & D and performance as it uncovers that the value-generating effect associated with R & D investments is contingent on the levels of HC.

This study is taken to describe the relationship between the levels of debt, dividend policy and the performance of firms listed in Vietnamese stock market. The dividend policy is proxied by the dividend yield while firm’s performance is measured by ROE, ROA, and P/E. The total number of observations is 552, collecting from 92 listed companies on Hochiminh Stock Exchange during 2012 and 2019. The analysis results from generalized least squares (GLS) models report that the choice of firm’s performance proxy affects the relationship between firm’s performance and leverage as well as dividend policy. While leverage has positive impact on ROE and ROA, it has negative impact on P/E. In contrast, dividend yield ratio is negatively correlated with ROA and P/E but positively correlated with ROE. However, the impact of debt levels on firm’s performance is independent with the choice of leverage proxy. The findings of this research are expected to provide better understanding about the connection between debt, dividend and performance of the firm that can support the managers to make relevant decisions.

Purpose This study aims at investigating the effect of vertical trust on distributed leadership (DL) and performance as mediated by job satisfaction, and further to observe the role of DL in carrying out the effect of satisfaction on employees’ performance. Design/methodology/approach As grounded in the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) literature, the author proposes that employees’ participation in DL should be viewed as an extra role behavior, as leadership functions are not directly related to their job description. The study uses large-scale survey data from a study in one of Denmark’s largest public hospitals (N = 1,439). Findings The results of structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis showed that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between vertical trust and DL, and DL had a positive impact on job performance. Furthermore, the results showed that job satisfaction had a positive impact on DL and employees’ performance. Moreover, DL has positively affected employees’ performance, and it carries the impact of job satisfaction on performance. Research limitations/implications The study showed that trust and job satisfaction are important triggers of DL. Furthermore, results are interesting because literature so far has shown an insignificant relationship between satisfaction and performance. Here, the author establishes that the satisfaction–performance relationship is mediated by DL. The findings should motivate health care organizations to introduce structures and educate formal leaders so that DL can be enabled. Originality/value This should be the first study that relates trust and DL in an empirical manner. As grounded in the OCB literature, results also showed the significance of job satisfaction as a mediator variable.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between organizational innovation and performance of firms in Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach Based on the literature review, the author proposed five hypotheses covering the relationships between different aspects of organizational innovation and firm performance. Data collected from a survey of 266 firms in Vietnam were analyzed to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings Two out of three aspects of organizational innovation, including “innovation in business practices” and “innovation in workplace organization,” are significantly positively associated with firm performance. However, there was no evidence to support the relationship between firm performance and the third organizational innovation aspect, “organizational innovation in external relations.” The results also show that the interaction terms among three aspects of organizational innovation do not have significant impacts on firm performance. Practical implications Firms in Vietnam should pay more attention to innovation in business practices and innovation in workplace organization since two aspects have clear positive influences on performance. Moreover, firms can perform each of the organizational innovation aspects independently or in parallel, as the implementation of organizational innovation in one aspect does not influence the impact on the firm performance of organizational innovation in other aspects. Originality/value This study provides important insights into the widely recognized yet little-researched relationship between organizational innovation and firm performance and concludes that organizational innovation has a positive impact on firm performance.

This paper considers the international trade effect in the relationship between financial leverage and firm performance. It find out the answer to whether the impact of the financial leverage on internationally - oriented firms are stronger than on domestically – oriented ones. The paper use ordinary least squares, two - stage least squares and generalized method of moments to analyze data sample consisting of 107 enterprises in the period 2007-2015. Research results show that the international trade affects negatively the relationship between financial leverage and performance in Vietnamese firms. The effect of financial leverage in internationally - oriented firms are more than in domestically – oriented firms. Besides, other factors such as Vietnam’s interest rate, firm age, and firm size also affect negatively on firms’ performance. However, economic growth factor has a positive impact on the increase of assets’ return. In addition, the research points out that the large scale of business will offset the negative effects of financial leverage on performance.

Practical Implications

With the continuous effort of the Vietnamese Goverment, there is much research on restructuring State-owned Enterprises (SOE) to establish the State-capital Enterprises (SCE). However, there are few studies on combining intangible resources such as social capital, entrepreneurship despite these resources increase indirectly tangible resources. This study, therefore, tries to build a research model describing (i) the impact of the above resources on SCE performance (ii) the relationship among social capital and performance via entrepreneurship. After adjusting the measurement scales by interviewing specialist in-depth, a quantitative survey was executed using the data collected from 568 SCE and by testing Cronbach’s Alpha reliability, EFA, CFA and SEM to comment three proposed hypotheses. The results showed that (i) both social capital and entrepreneurship had positive impacts on performance (ii) social capital had positive impact indirectly on performance through entrepreneurship. Accordingly, the study suggested some practical implications for managers to use properly resources.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the literature on business model (BM) design by deepening the relationship between BM design themes and performance in a sample of firms based in a developing country. In particular, the authors deepen the relationship between business model novelty (BMN), business model efficiency (BME), the trade-off between novelty and efficiency – that the authors call BM ambidexterity – and performance. Design/methodology/approach Data are drawn from a sample of 107 manufacturing and service firms based in a developing country (Albania). Hierarchical regression is used to assess the impact on firm performance from the two BM design themes and their interaction. Findings The authors find novelty-centred BM design is significantly related to firm performance while efficiency-centred design has no direct effect on performance. However, the authors also find that BME positively moderates the relationship between BMN and firm performance. Research limitations/implications The relationship between BM design and firm performance can be better understood if contextualised. In the paper, the authors find that different types of BM designs have different impacts on the performance of firms based in a developing economy. While novelty matters, quite surprisingly the authors find no support for efficiency. Additionally, the authors find the interaction between the two design themes (BM ambidexterity) to have a positive impact on firm performance. Practical implications The surveyed firms based in a developing economy appear to benefit from novelty-centred BM designs. Efficiency-centred designs have a more ambiguous role: while efficiency alone seems not to pay off, an efficient BM design may facilitate the market exploitation of a novel design. Originality/value This study responds to a precise call for additional quantitative empirical studies on the relationship between BM and performance. The study also contributes to an emerging stream of research focused on BM ambidexterity.

A meta-analysis of the data from empirical investigations of diversity in work groups was used to examine the impact of two types of diversity attributes, highly job-related and less job-related, on work group cohesion and performance. This distinction was used to test the proposition that different types of diversity will differentially impact work group cohesion and performance. In addition, type of team was examined as a possible moderator of the relationship between diversity and performance. Results showed that neither type of diversity had a relationship with cohesion or performance. Explanations and directions for future research are offered.
