The aim of this study was to establish the role of organizational design in the organizational ambidexterity - performance relationship among large manufacturing firms (LMFs) in Kenya. The studies linking ambidexterity to organizational performance are few and with mixed findings. The few studies indicate that there is no clear ambidexterity - organizational performance relationship. The research was founded on dynamic capabilities and configurations theories. Based on the reviewed literature, a conceptual model and hypotheses were formulated. The study was guided by positivist philosophy. The population of the research was the entire 107 Kenyan large manufacturing firms (LMFs). Cross-sectional research design was used. Primary data in respect of predictor variables was used and was collected using a structured questionnaire. The respondents were the senior managers of the large manufacturing firms (LMFs) in Kenya; namely Chief Executive Officers/Managing Directors (CEOs/MDs) or General Managers (GMs), or Heads of departments (HODs). Descriptive statistics, correlations, linear, multiple and hierarchical regressions were applied in the data scrutiny and interpretation. The study results showed partial organizational design mediating role in the organizational ambidexterity - performance association of LMFs in Kenya. The study findings are useful to practitioners and managers of LMFs, policymakers in government as well as scholars and researchers. The study recommends further studies on the mediating role of organizational design, different variable operationalization, diversify respondents and context as well as longitudinal study.

Data was collected in two-time waves and results revealed positive relationship between ability-enhancing HR bundles and organizational ambidexterity. This study contributes to literature by providing new insights and by investigating links of ability-enhancing HR bundles with organizational ambidexterity directly and indirectly.

We studied the formation of leaders' habitual behaviors and the impact of leaders' existing and potential capabilities on ambidextrous (i.e., exploitative and exploratory) innovation activities. Leadership habitual domain (LHD) theory was applied from an endogenous perspective to analyze the impact mechanism of LHD on ambidextrous innovation via the mediating role of dynamic capabilities. We used structural equation modeling to test data collected from 205 team leaders in East China. Results showed that LHD was positively associated with both exploitative and exploratory innovation, and that dynamic capabilities mediated these relationships. Thus, team leaders should renew, reconfigure, and expand their LHD by sensing and seizing opportunities when implementing ambidextrous innovation.

Abstract Background and purpose: The recent literature established that human resource development (HRD) is significantly related to organizational effectiveness (OE). In rapidly changing environments, the organizations should strive to address the shifts in the environment and cope with markets conditions through developing dynamic capabilities, in return, enhance organizational effectiveness. The main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of dynamic capabilities on the relationship between human resources development and organizational effectiveness in the Iraqi public universities context. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected through an online questionnaire survey from 215 employees executive and non-executive employees working in the selected public universities in Iraq. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the proposed research model. Results: The analyzed data supported all the hypothesized relationships of the study. This study finds that HRD practices have a significant influence on organizational effectiveness and dynamic capabilities. Further, dynamic capabilities significantly influence on organizational effectiveness. Also, the study empirically supports the mediating effect of dynamic capabilities on the relationship between HRD practices and organizational effectiveness. Conclusion: In the literature, there is still a lack of how HRD practices impact on organizational effectiveness through the mechanisms of dynamic capabilities. Therefore, this research contributes to the literature by pointing out the mediating role of dynamic capabilities on the relationship between HRD and organizational effectiveness. Based on the existing literature and empirical results, the study provides the theoretical and practical implications which are further discussed in detail.

The purpose of this article is to clarify whether congruence between espoused and attributed organizational values (CEAOV) in contemporary business circumstances is a necessity or just ‘nice to have’. Accordingly, two objectives are formulated: (a) to investigate whether CEAOV has a direct impact on organizational effectiveness and (b) to assess the mediating effect of organizational commitment between CEAOV and organizational effectiveness. The research was conducted within 15 Croatian companies ( n = 523). Data were collected through content analysis of the official websites of the companies, surveys of employees, semi-structured interviews with the members of top management and analysis of publicly available financial reports. A conceptual model is proposed regarding the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the impact of the espoused–attributed value fit on effectiveness. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used for the analysis. The results show that CEAOV positively affects organizational effectiveness through the mediation of organizational commitment. The only path to attaining effectiveness is through commitment. No direct effect is found. Our research sheds light on the relevant role of authenticity, in the light of value congruence, in every organization. When employees and organizations live their values to the same degree, there is an impact on organizational commitment and hence on organizational effectiveness.

Firms take precautions with their dynamic capacities in response to rapidly changing and volatile conditions. Leader–member exchange refers to the importance of supervisors’ role in shaping employees’ work attitudes and job satisfaction. Previous researches on the relation between leader–member exchange and dynamic capabilities obtained mixed results; a call has been made for an examination of dynamic capabilities of lodging firms from the perspective of leader–member exchange. This research predicts that leader–member exchange is associated with dynamic capabilities and higher level of job satisfaction. Thus, this study examines the impact of five-star hotel employees’ leader–member exchange on the dynamic capabilities of a hospitality organization and the mediation role of job satisfaction between leader–member exchange and dynamic capabilities. Results from five hotel teams in Istanbul with 390 employees show that job satisfaction has a meaningful and positive impact on dynamic capabilities. Leader–member exchange has a statistically significant impact on dynamic capabilities and job satisfaction partially mediating the relationship between leader–member exchange and dynamic capabilities. This study also provides valuable recommendations on how to assess the service quality of lodging firms by assessing their dynamic capabilities. Specifically, Istanbul’s lodging firms should focus on job satisfaction to improve the dynamic capability of their employees.

The current study seeks to analyze the impact of the tangible and intangible rewards on organizational effectiveness with the mediating role of organizational citizenship behavior. The study utilized a quantitative research design for that the data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The sample size was 342. The study framework had 4 constructs namely tangible rewards, intangible rewards, organizational citizenship behavior, and organizational effectiveness. Two of the variables (tangible and intangible rewards) were independent variables, organizational effectiveness was dependent variable and organizational citizenship behavior was mediating variables. All the latent construct was measured using multi items based on 5 point Likert scales from 1 strongly disagree to 5 strongly disagree. The data collection instrument was developed referring to past researches done on the seminal researches. Structural Equation Modelling was used to analyze the data. The results suggested the significant relationship of tangible and intangible rewards with organizational effectiveness directly and through the mediation of organizational citizenship behavior.
