The Role of IT Flexibility in Enhancing Supply Chain Resilience in the Oil Products Distribution Sector
No full textBusiness organisations are working to improve their IT flexibility to gain a competitive advantage in the evolving business landscape. This study aims to assess the influence of IT flexibility in its three dimensions (compatibility, connectivity, modularity) on supply chain resilience in the petroleum products distribution sector. It will also examine the connection between these dimensions and supply chain resilience at both the macro and micro levels. The research population represented the managers of fuel stations in the petroleum products distribution company with 2215 managers. A sample of 327 managers was selected using the G*Power program. The results of the regression analysis indicate that IT flexibility has a significant impact on supply chain resilience. Among the dimensions of IT flexibility, the modularity dimension was found to be the most influential. This research contributes to clarifying the role of IT infrastructure flexibility in enhancing supply chain resilience, which in turn contributes to the continuity and growth of organisations. The research emphasises the importance of focusing on collaboration and knowledge sharing to achieve greater flexibility in facing challenges, as well as investing in opportunities
Vloga dinamičnih sposobnosti pri odnosu med razvojem človeških virov in organizacijsko učinkovitostjo
No full textBackground 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.
Keywords: Human resource development, Dynamic capabilities, Organizational effectivenessOzadje in namen: Novejša literatura je pokazala, da je razvoj človeških virov (HRD) pomembno povezan z organizacijsko učinkovitostjo (OE). V hitro spreminjajočih se okoljih bi si morale organizacije prizadevati za reševanje sprememb v okolju in se spoprijeti s tržnimi razmerami z razvojem dinamičnih zmogljivosti, v zameno pa povečati organizacijsko učinkovitost. Glavni namen te študije je preučiti posredovalno vlogo dinamičnih zmogljivosti pri povezavi med razvojem človeških virov in uspešnostjo organizacije na iraških javnih univerzah.
Zasnova / metodologija / pristop: Podatki so bili zbrani s spletno anketo med 215 zaposlenimi na izbranih javnih univerzah v Iraku. Za testiranje predlaganega raziskovalnega modela je bilo uporabljeno modeliranje strukturnih enačb (Structural Equation Modelling - SEM).
Rezultati: analiza podatkov je podprla vsa predpostavljena razmerja študije. Pokazalo se je, da HRD prakse pomembno vplivajo na organizacijsko učinkovitost in dinamične sposobnosti. Nadalje dinamične zmogljivosti pomembno vplivajo na učinkovitost organizacije. Študija tudi empirično podpira posredovalni učinek dinamičnih sposobnosti na odnos med praksami HRD in organizacijsko učinkovitostjo.
Zaključek: Literatura še ni v celoti pojasnila, kako HRD prakse vplivajo na učinkovitost organizacije s pomočjo mehanizmov dinamičnih sposobnosti. Naša raziskava ugotavlja posredniško vlogo dinamičnih sposobnosti na povezavi med HRD in organizacijsko učinkovitostjo. Na podlagi obstoječe literature in empiričnih rezultatov študija ponuja teoretične in praktične posledice, ki so podrobneje predstavljene v članku.
Ključne besede: razvoj človeških virov, dinamične sposobnosti, organizacijska učinkovitos
