Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between overcoming the value management (VM) implementation barriers and VM implementation in the Egyptian building sector. Design/methodology/approach A critical review of the literature on VM was used to through bibliometric analysis has been conducted to highlight the studies’ gap and establish the VM barriers. These obstacles were then contextually transformed via a semi-structured interview and a pilot study, and subsequently organized in the form of a theoretical model. The primary data was collected from 335 building stakeholders in Egypt through the administration of questionnaire surveys. Consequently, structural equation models of partial least squares were applied to statistically assess the final model of VM barriers. Findings The bibliometric analysis shows that there is an inadequate study on VM implementation barriers in the Egyptian construction industry and insufficient studies on implementing VM in developing countries. Results obtained from the proposed model showed that overcoming the VM barriers has a major connection with successful VM implementation. This is indicated with the value of ß = 0.743, which is necessary when the firm is overcoming 1 unit of VM barriers. Originality/value This study fills the knowledge gap by identifying and emphasizing the critical obstacles to VM implementation.

Corporate Social

In recent times, small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) have focused their activities on short-term financial results. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is among the organizational practices currently being adopted by companies to increase their competitiveness. While some companies implement CSR out of curiosity or because it is aligned with their true social vocation, most embrace it to increase economic and financial performance. Whereas some theories support CSR practices and assert the great benefits these activities can yield, other theories state that management should not allocate resources to CSR actions. Focusing on SMEs, the present study sought to examine the effects of CSR on profitability from three perspectives: the social, the environmental, and the economic dimensions of social responsibility. The sample for this study included 81 companies in the industrial (54.3%) and services (45.7%) sectors operating in the south of the state of Sonora (Mexico). Data collection was carried out from August to November, 2013, and used a self-directed survey administered to company managers. Results were analyzed and validated using a variance-based statistical technique focused on structural equation models (SEM); the structured relationships were validated by partial least square (PLS) modeling using the SmartPLS Professional software (version 3.2.6). Our findings provide evidence that social and economic CSR activities have a positive influence on profitability in SMEs. This study contributes to the development of the main literature on CSR practices in their social, environmental, and economic dimensions: firm theory, sustainability theory, and stakeholder theory.

Rising trend of sustainability within tourism especially hotel industries remain ambiguous in many different areas of academic research and business. Nonetheless, contemporary relevance of quality practices and sustainability in the hotel industries has increased lately. This paper examined hotel quality managers (HQMs) perceptions of quality management and sustainability via the sequential-mixed methods approach, to bridge the gaps in the existing literature on the connection between pertinent variables. Therefore, in Phase 1 ten HQMs were deliberately selected and interviewed to perceive their views on quality management and the relationship between various quality management constructs towards sustainable performance. Phase 1 revealed that business ethics emerged as a new dimension, which needed to be emphasised. Subsequently, the qualitative results were utilised to design the hypotheses for 300 HQMs’ quantitative surveys in Phase 2. The obtained survey data was analysed via the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Models (PLS-SEM) to determine a list of hypotheses related to the impacts of key constructs. The present study depicted a significant and positive mediating connection between the HQMs perspective of quality management, business principles, and sustainable performance.

Tax Returns

DGT (Directorate General of Taxation) continues to optimize the collection of annual tax returns by facilitating technology-based tax service systems, one of which is e-filing that has been running since 2016. However, e-filing turned out to have less influence on the delivery of annual tax returns as reflected in the electronic annual tax returns monitoring data that only met 78% of the 2017 target. This is caused by various problems that arise during the use of e-filing such as individual technology capabilities, loss of efin, forgetting DGT Online account passwords to lack of awareness about the importance of submitting annual tax returns. Problems encounter during the use of e-filing are the basis for evaluating the continued use of e-filing in Palembang. The development of a conceptual model was conducted to evaluate the sustainability of the use of e-filing. The development of a conceptual model basically has a scarcity of supporting theories used and has a complex model. To overcome this problem, Partial Least Squares (PLS) Structural Equation Model (SEM) could be applied to. The results of data analysis found that information quality and service quality did not have a positive influence on the sustainability of the use of e-filing and the level of correlation between information quality, system quality, service quality, and individual ability was still small towards the sustainability of the use of e-filing. It could be concluded that the quality of information and service provided by DGT has the opposite effect that does not even influance the sustainability of e-filing usage. However, the quality of the system and the ability of individuals to give effect to e-filing usage in reporting in reporting annual tax returns. Therefore, DGT is expected to improve the quality of the system of e-filing expecially in the function of e-filing, ease of use, usefullness of e-filing in reporting annual tax return. In additory it is necessary to carry out socialization and training on e-filing to improve the ability of individuals to report online their annual tax report. The findings of this research are very important for the Tax office in Palembang to analyze the sustainability of the use of e-filing that has been proven empirically, multidimensional and in a specific context. The result of the study could be used as a reference to improve overall quality of taxation for the sake of sustainable use of e-filing.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of exceeding the expectations of guests to generate greater satisfaction, in order to offer an unforgettable experience and generate more comments on the Web 2.0 in the context of tourism. Structural equation models were used. The data for the analysis were obtained from a sample of residents of the Maldonado-Punta del Este conurbation (Uruguay), who were asked about their last overnight stay. The proposed structural equation model was tested using the partial least square (PLS) technique. The results show that exceeding the expectations of guests is essential for the clients’ experience and very important for the satisfaction with the stay at the hotel. The generation of online comments (electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM)) is also strongly influenced by emotional experiences. Exceeding the expectations of trained clients and surprising them with new services and experiences is the essence of luxury offers. The main practical implication is that exceeding expectations is the key to eWOM, and this means that managers must be involved in a perpetual process of service innovation.
