The overall objective of the research is to identify the role of Organizational Success (OS) as a mediator variable in explaining the impact of Organizational Learning (OL) on Organizational Excellence (OE). The research community represents all employees at Telecommunications sector in Egypt. Due to time and cost constraints, the researcher adopted a sampling method to collect data for the study. The appropriate statistical methods were used to analyze the data and test the hypotheses.The research found a number of results, the most important of which are: (1) there is a significant effect between OL (mechanisms and means of learning, vision and mission of the organization, empowerment of employees, knowledge management, application and use of technology) and OS (survival and growth). Multiple regression analysis model showed that there is an impact of OL as an independent variable on OS as a dependent variable; (2) there is a significant impact between OL and OE (excellence of leaders, excellence of subordinates, excellence of operations, cultural excellence and financial excellence). The multiple regression model showed that there is an impact of OL as a independent variable on OE as a dependent variable; (3) the existence of a significant effect between OS on OE, after the multi regression model showed that there is an impact of OS as a independent variable on OE as a dependent variable; (4) there is an impact of OS as a mediating variable in clarifying the impact of OL on OE. In other words, there is an indirect effect of the independent variable (OL) on the dependent variable (OE) through the mediating variable (OS); that is, OS plays the role of partial mediation in the relationship between OL and OE.The study referred to a number of recommendations, the most important of which are: (1) attention to the process of OL, and to consider it as a tool to solve most organizational problems; (2) the interest in spreading the culture of OL and adopting a clear vision. This requires an organizational climate that cares about the learning process and this strengthens OS opportunities; (3) the need to invest learning in the promotion and development of OS opportunities; (4) the application of modern technology, exploiting it to the maximum possible capacity, and linking them to the process of learning and knowledge management; (5) continuing to promote policies that seek to empower workers and the need to follow the method of decentralization and delegation of authority, (6) the importance of selecting and attracting workers according to efficiency and eliminating surplus in the preparation of workers in a manner that leads to the achievement of effective performance, (7) aspiring to possess the characteristics of the OL as a strategic option to survive in a changing environment on an ongoing basis; (8) maintaining the professional competence of employees and increasing their levels as they are an important way to gain customer confidence and efficiency in service delivery.

Using a sample of registered Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) in Indonesia during 2014-2017, we examine the effect of Sharia Governance on Sustainability Reporting with financial performance as a mediating variable. Our results support the idea that sharia governance (sharia supervisory board, independent commissioner, board of director's meeting and audit committee) has significant influence on the sustainability reporting. Further analysis indicates the mediating role of financial performance in the relationship between sharia governance and sustainability reporting. Our results suggest that it is essential for regulatory agencies to enhance the supervision role of independent commissioners.

PurposeThe study explores the role of green human capital in the implementation of green logistics practices to build green competitiveness and achieve improved social performance and financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs structured questionnaires to gather data from 152 managers from manufacturing small and medium enterprises in Ghana. The data are analyzed and the hypotheses are tested using the partial least square structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings reveal that green human capital does have significant influence on financial performance. However, green human capital does not have significant influence on social performance and green competitiveness. Besides, green logistics practices significantly improve social performance, financial performance and green competitiveness. Green logistics practices mediate the relationship between green human capital and green competitiveness, social performance and financial performance. Hence, green human capital influences the successful implementation of green logistics practices, which results in building stronger green competitiveness and better social and financial performances.Originality/valueThis paper is among the dearth of studies that examine the role of green human capital in the implementation of sustainable supply chain practices. This study pioneers the exploration of the role of green human capital in the implementation of green logistics practices to improve social performance, financial performance and green competitiveness among manufacturing SMEs in sub-Saharan Africa. Besides, the study's findings expand literature by providing new insights into the effect between green logistics practices, financial performance, social performance and green competitiveness from Ghanaian SMEs.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between knowledge management practices and innovation levels in organizations.  Through a questionnaire, required data were gathered in sub-companies of three corporations in the city of Esfahan. Seventy-four questionnaires were given to top and middle managers of these companies and 36 were returned (49.65% response rate). Correlation analysis was used to check the relationship between the variables.  The researchers found a strong, positive and significant relationship between knowledge management practices and innovation levels in these companies.  The result is related to a small number of companies in Esfahan. It is not easy to generalize the result of the current study to other contexts.  Knowledge management is one of the hottest issues among academicians, but it is still difficult to justify managers about its importance in organizations. This study tries to provide some empirical evidence in order to support the role of knowledge management in enhancing innovation.  There is not sufficient empirical evidence to prove the role of knowledge management practices in the search of innovation.

The literature suggests that innovation allows organizations to reach a desirable level of sustainability. There is evidence to support the role of knowledge management (KM) as well as management capability (MC) in producing a sustainable approach at organizations. Furthermore, organizations commonly achieve sustainable practices through corporate social responsibility (CSR). In particular, the health sector is increasingly implementing CSR strategies, although with a narrow understanding of the factors to success. Hence, trends lead to asymmetric growth between organizations. This study aims to examine the mediating role of KM in the relationship between MC and innovative performance (IP) in 331 Health Provider Institutions (HPIs). The research reflective model was assessed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). According to the results, MC has a positive effect on IP, MC has a positive effect on KM, and KM has a positive effect on IP. Likewise, KM significantly mediates the relationship between MC and IP. Our findings support the importance of KM in addressing MCs in HPIs as it enables innovative practices to address CSR goals to achieve a sustainable impact. Moreover, this study contributes by expanding KM to contexts that are not usually studied, such as health in a South American country.
