Abstract

This study aims to clarify the effect of career capital on the sustainable competitive advantage when human resource management’s capabilities work as a mediator variable in construction companies specializing in concrete in Amman. The total number of companies are (23), the companies that showed cooperation and filled out the questionnaire were (17) companies. The study population consisted of (1400) employees from various administrative levels. Applying the study to the whole study population is difficult due to its large size; thus, a simple random sampling method is used. (302) questionnaires were distributed, the retrieved questionnaires valid for analysis were (250) and constituted of (83%). The unstructured interviews were adopted to define the study problem in the construction companies specialized in concrete. The questionnaire is the tool for measuring the study variables by collecting data and then analyzing those using descriptive and inferential statistics. The most important study results are that in the construction companies specialized in concrete industries in Amman; the level of career capital was high, and the level of sustainable competitive advantage was medium. At the same time, the results showed that the level of human resource management capabilities was high. The results also indicate that human resource management's capabilities partially mediate the impact of career capital and the sustainable competitive advantage. Human resource management's capabilities contributed to increasing this impact; this means that human resources management's capabilities play an essential role in activating the relationship between career capital and sustainable competitive advantage.

职业资本对持续竞争优势的影响:人力资源管理能力的中介作用

本研究旨在阐明安曼混凝土专业建筑公司，当人力资源管理能力作为中介变量时，职业资本对可持续竞争优势的影响。公司总数为23家，表示合作并填写问卷的公司有17家。研究人群包括来自不同行政级别的(1400)名雇员。由于该研究的规模较大，因此很难将其应用于整个研究人群;因此，采用简单的随机抽样方法。共发放问卷302份，回收有效分析问卷250份，占83%。采用非结构化访谈法对混凝土专业建筑公司的研究问题进行界定。问卷是测量研究变量的工具，通过收集数据，然后使用描述性和推断性统计分析这些变量。最重要的研究结果是，在安曼专门从事混凝土行业的建筑公司中;职业资本水平较高，持续竞争优势水平中等。同时，结果表明，人力资源管理能力水平较高。人力资源管理能力在职业资本和可持续竞争优势的影响中起到部分中介作用。人力资源管理的能力有助于增加这种影响;这意味着人力资源管理能力在激活职业资本与可持续竞争优势之间的关系中起着至关重要的作用。

期刊介绍： Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
