Background/Objectives: It is necessary to confirm whether the introduction of smart factory is moving in the right direction for SMEs applying the basic stage of Smart Factory. We would like to investigate the characteristics of the company according to satisfaction levels of Smart Factory introduction.Methods/Statistical analysis: We collected the questionnaire of companies applying the basic level of Smart Factory and conducted a cluster analysis on the whole data. Four groups were classified into two groups with low satisfaction level and two groups with high satisfaction level. To investigate the characteristics of each group, we conducted a cluster analysis of each group to identify the difference according to satisfaction.Findings: The group with low satisfaction was divided into two clusters. One applied MES and the improvement of defect rate is as low as 8%, the other applied ERP and the expectation of quality improvement is high. The groups were divided into three groups. The first one is the group that wants to proceed to next stage regardless of the governmental support without staying at the basic stage. The second one is the group that applied MES and considers governmental support important when progressing with the intermediate 1st stage. And last one is the group that has the highest rate of Equipment linkage, productivity improvement, sales growth and improvement of defect rate.Improvements/Applications: This paper will help to benchmark companies that are introducing smart factories. However, it would be a better study if we carry out research that increases the number of data and predicts satisfaction.

This study aims to know influence the mediation of organization learning on strategic change, knowledge management and transformational leadership and performance of Indonesian Islamic Banks. Design / methodology / approach - This study uses quantitative research with a purposive sampling technique with a population of 14 Indonesian islamic banks. The targeted unit of analysis is the Islamic banks manager. There were 239 questionnaires returned and 11 of them did not meet the requirements, so only 228 were used in this study. This study uses SmartPLS 3 to test the hypothesis. This research shows that strategic change, knowledge management and transformational leadership affect organization learning. This study also shows that strategic change, transformational leadership knowledge management and organization learning have an effect on firm performance. Apart from that, the mediating role of the learning organizations also provides consistent results. Research limitation / implications - Islamic banks managers must be able to identify the importance of change for the company, because of the big risks. Supporting knowledge and leadership skills in companies makes Islamic banking better competitive. These three variables become better if the company uses a learning organization because the company will change more quickly and achieve better performance with previous experience. Originality / value - Similar research is usually carried out in manufacturing and service companies and is carried out in developed countries (Europe, America and Africa). The focus of this research is the development of strategic change supported by knowledge management and transformational leadership on performance mediated by learning organizations. This research was also conducted for the first time in Asia with the object of Islamic banks in Jakarta - Indonesia

Abstract: In recent years, transformational leadership as a health-related factor has become a focal point of interest in research and practice. However, the pathways and mechanisms underlying this association are not yet well understood. In order to gain knowledge on how or why transformational leadership and employee well-being are associated, we investigated the mediating effect of the work characteristics role clarity and predictability. The study was carried out on 618 employees working in the health-care sector in Germany. We tested the mediator effect using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that role clarity and predictability fully mediate the relation between transformational leadership and negative indicators of well-being. These results give credit to the notion that work characteristics play an important role in identifying health-relevant aspects of leadership behavior. Our findings advance the understanding of how to enhance employee well-being and have implications for the design of leadership-related interventions of workplace health promotion.

This survey study focused on the attitudes of Russian-speaking minority youth (N = 132) toward other immigrant groups living in Finland. Along with testing the basic tenet of the contact hypothesis in a minority-minority context, the mediating effect of intergroup anxiety and the moderating effect of perceived social norms on the contact-attitude association were specified by taking into account the identity processes involved in intergroup interactions. The results indicated, first, that the experience of intergroup anxiety evoked by a negative intergroup encounter was reflected in negative outgroup attitudes only among the weakly identified. Second, negative contact experiences of minority adolescents were found not to be reflected in negative attitudes when their ethnic identification was attenuated, and when they perceived positive norms regarding intergroup attitudes.
