Abstract

Purpose

In this study, we attempt to investigate and examine the correlations among enterprise culture (EC), business ethic rules (BERs) and talented human resource supply chain management (THRSCM) in service SMEs in the Middle East region.

Design/methodology/approach

This study is quantitative in nature and adopts the quantitative-deductive hypothesis testing approach. To do this, a self-administrated survey was used and carried out to reach managers, human resource (HR) staff and workers from various small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the service sector that are listed in the Chambers of the Industries of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan in the Middle Eastern countries.

Findings

The empirical findings show that THRSCM and the BERs have a strong, positive correlation. Further, it found that there is also a strong and positive correlation between the EC and the BERs. As a result, THRSCM and EC can be extremely important in advancing and implementing BERs in SME service businesses. HR staff members should receive greater attention when implementing the BERs to accomplish the company’s goals and give customers a positive image of their enterprises. The HRM division and the company must be deeply aware of the significance of the BERs in their enterprises.

Practical implications

These findings can give managers, executives and HR staff helpful information to support the creation and upkeep of efficient business ethics rules inside their service SMEs.

Originality/value

Because there is not much study on the relationships between THRSCM, EC and BERs in the Middle East, this article attempts to investigate these relationships and consider them a benchmark for other future studies in ethics. Furthermore, it significantly influences service SMEs in the Middle East region.

商业道德规则、优秀人力资源供应链管理与中小企业道德管理之间的关联：来自中东国家的新见解

目的在本研究中，我们试图调查和研究中东地区服务业中小企业的企业文化（EC）、商业道德规则（BERs）和人才人力资源供应链管理（THRSCM）之间的相关性。为此，我们采用了自我管理调查的方法，对中东国家卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合酋长国和约旦工业协会中服务业中小型企业（SMEs）的管理人员、人力资源（HR）工作人员和工人进行了调查。此外，实证研究还发现，EC 和 BER 之间也存在很强的正相关性。因此，THRSCM 和 EC 对于中小型服务企业推进和实施业务汇率极为重要。在实施业务汇率时，人力资源部门的工作人员应得到更多关注，以实现公司目标，并为客户树立良好的企业形象。由于中东地区对 THRSCM、EC 和 BER 之间关系的研究不多，本文试图对这些关系进行调查，并将其视为未来其他伦理研究的基准。此外，它还对中东地区的中小型服务企业产生了重大影响。同行评议本文的同行评议记录可在以下网址查阅：https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-10-2023-0763。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Social Economics publishes original and peer-reviewed theoretical and empirical research in the field of social economics. Its focus is on the examination and analysis of the interaction between economic activity, individuals and communities. Social economics focuses on the relationship between social action and economies, and examines how social and ethical norms influence the behaviour of economic agents. It is inescapably normative and focuses on needs, rather than wants or preferences, and considers the wellbeing of individuals in communities: it accepts the possibility of a common good rather than conceiving of communities as merely aggregates of individual preferences and the problems of economics as coordinating those preferences. Therefore, contributions are invited which analyse and discuss well-being, welfare, the nature of the good society, governance and social policy, social and economic justice, social and individual economic motivation, and the associated normative and ethical implications of these as they express themselves in, for example, issues concerning the environment, labour and work, education, the role of families and women, inequality and poverty, health and human development.
