And Performance

This study was aimed at examining the effect of competitive strategies and performance of construction organizations in the large construction industry in Indonesia. This study adopted a quantitative research approach using a questionnaire survey to obtain data from 260 senior managers and CEOs of enormous construction organizations in Indonesia. Using Partial Least Square (PLS), we examined the relations between the constructs discussed in the study. We found out that competitive strategies affected the performance of construction organizations; competitive strategies positively impacted on the organizational performance. These findings showed that we needed to harmonize a competitive strategy as a prerequisite to achieving superior performance. We believed that this study positively contributed to the role of competitive strategy and the performance of large construction organizations in Indonesia and ongoing discussions on issues arising in construction management in development.

Knowledge repository is becoming a key factor within organizations as it can maximize the probability and impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) project success. Therefore, project management (PM) processes and knowledge repository are widely used in ICT projects to improve the degree of project success. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a model that defines how the combination of PM processes and knowledge repository would successfully support project success. This paper adapts the quantitative research approach by using the survey strategy which is conducted through questionnaires collected from 320 people working in ICT companies in Jordan. The researchers utilized the Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) as an analysis technique to test all hypotheses. The findings suggest that there is a positive effect of adapting the PM processes in improving the project success mediation by the knowledge repository.

Purpose Despite the efforts of organizations to improve safety performance, shortfalls of the strategies have been reported in numerous studies around the globe. However, previous studies in countries with more organized construction sectors show that adopting a resilient safety culture by organizations has a tendency of improving safety performance. As safety culture is dynamic which differs with geographical context, the purpose of this paper is to achieve two objectives: testing the causal relationship between safety performance and resilience safety culture in the Nigerian construction environment; and determining the key components for ensuring the resilience of construction organizations with regards to safety. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative research approach was used. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The population of the study comprises small and medium construction organizations predominantly across the Northern region in the Nigerian built environment. A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed to construction managers and safety managers in respective organizations to serve as respondents to the study. Partial least square – structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the relationship between safety performance and resilience safety culture. While principal component analysis was used determining the key components for ensuring the resilience of construction organizations with regards to safety. Findings Findings of this study revealed that resilient safety culture has a significantly strong positive relationship with safety performance. Safety hazard recognition and effective safety response attitude were identified as the key components for guaranteeing a resilient safety culture. Practical implications With a view to achieve a consistently high safety performance, organizations have to acknowledge and anticipate unexpected hazardous events and provide the necessary safety resources to manage them. Furthermore, there is also the need to create awareness on recognized safety concerns on safety hazards, coupled with a dynamic risk response attitude to ensure consistent improvement in safety performance. Originality/value This study presents an alternative to the slow and reactive safety culture of the Nigerian built environment. This study builds on existing literature, and the findings explore the potential impact of adopting a resilient safety culture in construction organizations in Nigeria. This study provided further insights into key factors organizations need to focus on to ensure resilient nature. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no prior study in this regard was conducted in Nigeria despite its apparent need.

Hubungan antara sistem pengendalian manajemen (SPM) dan strategi tidak hanya fokus pada jenis SPM yang digunakan, melainkan pada cara manajer dalam menggunakan SPM. Penelitian ini menyelidiki pengaruh penggunaan diagnostik dan interaktif SPM pada hubungan strategi dan kinerja organisasi. Sifat dari hubungan antara SPM, strategi dan kinerja tergantung pada konteks organisasi. Penelitian yang dilakukan mengenai SPM dan strategi di negara-negara berkembang jumlahnya terbatas. Penelitian kali ini merupakan penelitian empiris pertama yang dilakukan, yang mengeksplorasi hubungan antara penggunaan SPM, strategi kompetitif dan kinerja organisasi berdasarkan data yang diperoleh dari perusahaan industri manufaktur di Provinsi Banten. Temuan penelitian mendukung pendapat bahwa keduanya (penggunaan diagnostik dan interaktif) memoderasi hubungan antara strategi bisnis dan kinerja. Responden penelitian ini adalah 40 eksekutif manajer yang bekerja di perusahaan industri manufakutr di Provinsi Banten. Dalam penelitian ini analisis data menggunakan pendekatan Warp Partial Least Square (PLS) dengan menggunakan Solfware Warp PLS versi 2.00. Temuan lain penelitian ini adalah efek moderat yang diciptakan oleh penggunaan diagnostik SPM lebih signifikan ketika strategi kepemimpinan biaya yang diterapkan untuk kinerja. Tidak terdapat bukti yang mendukung eksklusifitas proposisi Porter dari strategi bisnis untuk kinerja yang lebih baik. Akibatnya, hasil penelitian ini mempunyai dampak penting bagi praktek manajemen dan literatur akademik.The relationship between management control systems (MSS) and the strategy does not only focus on the type of SPM is used, but on how managers in using SPM. This study investigated the effect of the use of diagnostic and interactive SPM on the relationship strategy and organizational performance. The nature of the relationship between SPM, strategies and performance depends on the organizational context. Research conducted on the SPM and strategies in developing countries is limited. The present study is the first empirical research conducted, which explores the relationship between the use of SPM, competitive strategy and organizational performance based on data obtained from the manufacturing companies in the province of Banten. The research findings support the view that both (the use of diagnostic and interactive) moderate the relationship between business strategy and performance. Respondents are 40 executive managers working in industry companies manufakutr in Banten Province. In this study, data analysis using Warp approach Partial Least Square (PLS) using PLS Warp Solfware 2:00 version. Another finding of this study is a moderate effect created by the use of diagnostic SPM is more significant when the cost leadership strategy that is applied to the performance.

To survive in such a highly competitive market, hotels have to sustain better-than-average performance over time. However, the empirical research on the ways and means of improving sustainable hotel performance, specifically in developing countries like Indonesia, is scant.<br />This study aims to help fill the knowledge gap of Indonesian hotel managers by providing empirical evidence on how competitive strategy could play a role in improving hotel sustainable performance (HSP). The Sustainable Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) approach was used to measure HSP based on financial, customer, internal business process, learning and growth, and social and environmental perspectives. A mixed methods research approach was used to test the relationships among the above mentioned variables. Online survey and in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The quantitative data were analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The results revealed that competitive strategy, particularly in the form of differentiation, had a significant influence on HSP.
