Despite the growing importance of AI at the organizational leadership level, there is a lack of reliable scientific research on how it will change current leadership practices. To address this gap, this study conducted expert interviews with 10 IT companies in Pakistan to better understand how AI impacts organizational leadership. The findings suggest that AI will bring about significant changes in leadership practices, including shifting towards intelligent approaches, making leaders tech-savvy, expanding human capabilities, learning and unlearning traditional managerial competencies, fostering AI-congruent leadership characteristics, benchmarking sustainability, and coaching leaders for the future. AI fundamentally alters how leaders make decisions and holds the potential of transforming future team dynamics.

To address these challenges, firms strive to enhance their visibility across various supply chain levels by equipping themselves with the ability to scrutinize operational activities and effectively manage supply chain risks. This study employed a quantitative approach by administering a survey questionnaire to 158 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to examine the anticipated relationships. By drawing on organizational information processing theory principles, this study investigates the influence of supply chain operational reference (SCOR)—based data analytics capability (SCOR-DAC) in bolstering firm performance by developing a more secure, risk-averse enterprise, and improved strategic alignment. Additionally, this study investigates the mediating role of supply chain and risk management performance in the relationship between SCOR-driven data analytics and organizational performance and the interaction between business strategy alignment and SCOR-DAC. The study accentuates the notion that the capacity to manage disruptions, attained through improved risk management performance, positively impacts a firm's performance. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of the synergy between data analytics and organizational strategies in constructing a holistic approach to risk management and performance enhancement. The findings offer valuable insights for companies aiming to enhance risk management and improve overall performance by increasing investments in data analytics and fostering a data-driven culture for consistent business growth.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":35064,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Organizational Excellence","volume":"44 3","pages":"50-65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143118559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the impact of high JDs on moral disengagement (MD) and subsequent employee behaviors. Drawing upon social cognitive theory, we hypothesize that excessive JDs undermine self-regulatory mechanisms, resulting in MD and affecting counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and extra-role behaviors (ERBs). Additionally, we employ the conservation of resources theory to examine how family–work enrichment (FWE) can encourage ERB, potentially mitigating negative outcomes. To test our hypotheses, a two-wave time-lagged survey was conducted among hospital staff members during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings support our theoretical model, demonstrating that high JDs deactivate self-regulatory systems, leading to MD and varied behavioral outcomes. However, FWE fosters ERB even among morally disengaged employees. This study advances the literature by elucidating the mechanisms of MD and highlighting the role of family support in promoting positive behaviors during crises.

Studies have highlighted a noticeable gap between the skills employers seek and graduates’ skills upon the completion of their studies. This gap in employability skills significantly impacts graduates, impeding their prospects of securing suitable employment opportunities. The disparities in skills and knowledge have sparked a debate on graduate employability, necessitating further research in this domain. Addressing that, the current study explored research trends, directions, and opportunities related to graduate employability. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on a dataset comprising 2335 journal articles on graduate employability published between 1981 and 2023 in Scopus and Web of Science databases. The results of bibliometric analysis revealed the most influential journal articles based on their publications, citations, and significance in the intellectual network. Through content analysis, this study shed light on the subject's intellectual structure, characterized by four major thematic clusters: (1) the attribution of broader skills to career enhancement; (2) the significance of generic skills (interpersonal, problem-solving, and communication skills); (3) the need for work-related training and employer engagement; and (4) the need for improved curriculum design to build adequate human capital.

The behavior of online private-label consumers has remained understudied thus far, despite several studies suggesting that different channels lead to different consumer behaviors. This study aims to develop and test a theoretical model that elucidates the factors influencing the online purchase intention of private-label products in a post-pandemic scenario. We assess the role of attitude in the relationship between value consciousness, convenience, perceived quality, awareness, price consciousness, private-label image, retailer reputation, and functional risk, in relation to purchase intention. The study is based on a sample of 318 respondents and employs variance-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis using Smart PLS 3. This study is one of the first to delve into post-pandemic research on online private-label products during an economic downturn. This study explores the purchase intention toward online private-label products by drawing on the theory of planned behavior, attribution theory, and cue utilization theory. Our results reveal that retailer reputation influences private-label image, which affects purchase intention. Additionally, perceived quality, private-label image, and attitude positively influence the purchase intention of private-label products. Retailer reputation also affects private-label image and value consciousness. Furthermore, convenience has a positive effect on attitudes toward the online purchase of private labels. Interestingly, price consciousness did not affect the purchase intention of online private labels. These findings have significant implications for private-label online retailers and policymakers.
