Abstract

Localization has encountered substantial focus in academia as well as practice; however, scarce studies have empirically examined this theme within tourism-related sectors in Oman, including the aviation sector. That is why the purpose of this paper is to develop and test an integrated model of the key predictors and outcomes of successful localization within the aviation industry. It also evaluates the mediating role of knowledge sharing ability between human resources development (HRD) practices and localization as well as the moderating effect of organizational commitment on the link between localization and firm performance. This paper is based on primary data collected from 194 employees operating in the national aviation sector in Oman. Based on PLS-SEM, the results indicated that HRD practices (i.e., training, performance appraisal, and rewards) have a positive impact on expatriates’ ability to share knowledge with national staff, and thus positively impact the localization success. Additionally, the firm's performance is positively influenced by successful localization. Knowledge sharing does not mediate the link between HRD practices and successful localization, but the results confirmed the interactive impact of organizational commitment on the direct connection between localization and performance. The findings contribute significantly to the research community and provide practical guidelines and managerial implications.

航空业成功本地化的预测因素和结果:阿曼的案例

本地化在学术界和实践中都受到了广泛关注;然而，很少有研究在阿曼与旅游有关的部门，包括航空部门对这一主题进行实证研究。这就是为什么本文的目的是开发和测试航空行业成功本地化的关键预测因素和结果的集成模型。考察了知识共享能力在人力资源开发实践与本土化之间的中介作用，以及组织承诺在本土化与企业绩效之间的调节作用。本文基于从阿曼国家航空部门的194名员工收集的主要数据。基于PLS-SEM的研究结果表明，人力资源开发实践(即培训、绩效评估和奖励)对外派人员与本国员工分享知识的能力产生了积极影响，从而对本土化成功产生了积极影响。此外，成功的本土化对公司的绩效也有积极的影响。知识共享并不能中介人力资源开发实践与成功的本地化之间的联系，但结果证实了组织承诺对本地化与绩效之间的直接联系的交互影响。这些发现对研究界有重大贡献，并提供了实用的指导方针和管理意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
