Driving Model

Due to a lack of profound disclosure of the internal mechanism for the symbiotic development of agricultural industrial clusters and agricultural logistics industry, the current study finds it difficult to form specific and implementable driving countermeasures well. Quantitative research on their symbiotic development and evolution is an important method to promote the further development of agricultural industry and agricultural logistics industry. In this paper, the factors affecting the sustainable symbiotic development relationship are analyzed between agricultural industry clusters and agricultural logistics industry with explanatory structural equation, and a system-driving model is constructed for the symbiotic development of agricultural enterprise clusters and agricultural logistics industry. The analysis indicated that, for the symbiotic development of agricultural enterprise clusters and agricultural logistics industry, the macro policy orientation is the fundamental driving force and the symbiotic development effect is its final result. Seven driving paths are refined, and the relevant countermeasures to promote the sustainable development of agricultural industrial clusters and agricultural logistics industry are put forward one at a time.

Job Competence

The effective improvement of employee behavioral compliance and safety performance is an important subject related to the sustainable development of the construction industry. Based on data from a Chinese company (n = 290), this study used a partial least squares-structural equation model to clarify the relationship among safety participation, job competence, and behavioral compliance. Empirical analysis found that: (1) safety participation had a significant positive impact on employees’ behavioral compliance; and (2) job competence played a partial mediating role between safety participation and behavioral compliance. By selecting two new perspectives of safety participation and job competence, this study derived new factors affecting behavioral compliance, constructed a new theory about safety management, and conducted an in-depth discussion on improving behavioral compliance theoretically. Practically, the research put forward a new decision-making model, deconstructed the mechanism between safety participation and behavioral compliance, and provided new guiding strategies for improving employee behavioral compliance.

This research aims to identify the factors affecting the adoption of Facebook commerce, in specific the adopted Facebook advertisements for both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and how this contributes to enhancing such SMEs’ organizational performances. Specifically, ease of use, demographic targeting, interaction, and brand awareness are regarded as the key factors that can influence Facebook’s advertisements adoption. However, three organizational performance dimensions (efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness) are considered to be the most significant areas of focus in this research. In this study, both the quantitative research approach and the descriptive research design were employed. Data were collected from different SMEs in Muscat and Dhofar in Oman, and the total valid questionnaires suitable for analysis reached 342. The participants were primarily from those who publicize their services through Facebook. Many statistical techniques including exploratory, confirmatory, and structural equation modeling have been adopted in this study; meanwhile, the quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 25 and AMOS 25 softwares. The findings of this study suggested that the ease of use, demographic targeting, interaction, and brand awareness interpreted 20% of the variance in the Facebook advertisements as the dependent variable. However, Facebook advertisements as an independent variable were found to have a statistically significant effect on the SMEs’ performance dimensions (efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness) with standard regressions of 0.66, 0.51, and 0.74, respectively, thereby explaining 44% of the variance in the efficiency, 26% of the variance in the flexibility, and 55% of the variance in the responsiveness. Regarding the researchers’ knowledge, this research stands out as the first research to highlight SMEs that measure statistically the relationship between the organizational performance dimensions and Facebook advertising as key social media tools within a unique context—such as Oman as an example of developing countries.

Management accounting of an economic entity in the agro-industrial complex is a complex of multidimensional system. Sustainable development of a business entity in the agro-industrial complex depends on many different factors and conditions, by which we understand the causes (driving forces) of a process, determining its character or its individual features. From the functioning of management accounting depends on the order of decision-making. In the context of diversity and heterogeneity of factors, a high degree of uncertainty, the complexity of interactions, the study of these factors is a serious problem. Therefore, management personnel should carry out a constant analysis of all factors affecting the enterprise and evaluate their interaction, which reflects the causal relationships that characterize the sustainable development of the agricultural enterprise.
