By using different e-service quality dimensions, this study proposed a higher order factor of SAIS Service Quality with an attempt to determine a moderating effect of SAIS Service Convenience between the relationship of SAIS Service Quality and Student’s Satisfaction. Quantitative data was gathered from 94 SAIS users and the data were analyzed by using SmartPLS 3.0. The analysis result showed that SAIS Service Quality and SAIS Service Convenience were positively influenced the student’s satisfaction. Moreover, the result also revealed that the higher order factor of SAIS Service Convenience was not to moderate the relationship between the SAIS Service Quality and Student’s Satisfaction. From the Higher Education (HE) perspective, this study provides an empirical validation of the Information System Service Quality Model particularly in the context of SAIS. Hence, the improvement of the e-service quality is essential for future enhancement of existing information systems in the higher education institutions.","PeriodicalId":43250,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Management","volume":"11 1","pages":"155 - 164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48439747","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}

The study empirically tested the relationship between green marketing orientation (GMO) and environmental and social performance in the context of firms in the hospitality industry. Sustainable performance measurement focuses not only on financial but also on social and environmental performance. The study used the quantitative research design, and the cross-sectional survey method was used for data collection from 192 respondents. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Cronbach’s alpha was used as a measure of reliability. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between GMO and environmental and social performance of hospitality firms. The findings of the study suggest that GMO is a firm-level strategic resource that can improve the sustainable performance of firms in the hospitality sector. Theoretically, the study linked GMO to environmental and social performance of firms. Empirically, the study adds to the literature on the effect of GMO on sustainable performance. Practically, the study suggested recommendations that can improve the adoption of GMO by firms. These include green design, green positioning, green supply chain, and green strategy.","PeriodicalId":43250,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Management","volume":"11 1","pages":"277 - 290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2478/fman-2019-0023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42091281","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}

Customers, in particular consumers, are one of the key groups of stakeholders who create the corporate reputation. Customers are first of all creators of the corporate reputation as an “offeror” and “supplier” of value to buyers, as well as co-creators of the company’s reputation as a market player, employer, business partner or citizen, because their purchase decisions determine the company’s ability to meet the expectations of other stakeholder groups, that is, investors, employees or business partners. Building and maintaining a good reputation requires proper identification and satisfaction of the needs of key stakeholder groups. The aim of the article is to identify the specific requirements and expectations of digital customers in the context of building and maintaining a good reputation of the company. The thesis is that the digital customer expects, first and foremost, reliability and personalization in their relations with the supplier.","PeriodicalId":43250,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Management","volume":"11 1","pages":"255 - 266"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46153999","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}

The change in the potentials of buffers and the functionality of objects is the focus of this research, guaranteeing the correct use of potentials in relation to the whole “shell” of the object. In order to avoid any collision in the transport of functional potentials, each proper buffer is, by definition, connected to one and only one object. On the probability scale ∑ [0..1], the potential of the object’s functionality is expressed as the system sum [0..1] of all the potentials of its proper buffer components. A practical and important part of the article contains two methodologically important examples of tabular construction and analysis: an example of the dynamics of the potentials of an object with two buffers, together with a table of the potentials of a two-buffer object; and an example of the Cartesian product of graphs with lost determinism together with the table of potentials of a two-buffer object with an extensive option structure.","PeriodicalId":43250,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Management","volume":"11 1","pages":"119 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44474256","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}

Nasierowski","doi":"10.2478/fman-2019-0014","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2478/fman-2019-0014","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract The objective of this article is to outline various drawbacks of the studies on technical efficiency of pro-innovation activities at a national level. A better awareness of existing constraints may assist the readers and reviewers of the relative reports in a more critical assessment of the presented results and help in planning the research. This article outlines several methodological problems faced with conducting research on the technical efficiency of innovations. On the basis of the review of the subject-related literature, as well as press releases, numerous restraints prevailing in the currently used research approaches are presented. Some of these precincts are evidenced in the used methods: other may be rooted in the non-scientifically related intentions of the authors. Frequently, observations may drive the audience to the incorrect conclusions and opinions. The awareness of the consequences of these limitations may serve as a warning about the reliability of the results, their applicability for crafting policies, and country-to-country comparisons. However, various limitations originate from the very nature of the theme. Several propositions are specified about items to be kept in mind in order to minimize the negative impact caused by existing drawbacks. These may serve as a guide to formulate research questions and hypotheses for verification in further studies. While each of the propositions stated independently may be labeled obvious, their simultaneous review many contribute to the streamlining further research and in the improvement of the quality of suggestions arrived at. The conclusions from the article may also pinpoint to these methodological issues that cause some of the publications on the subject to be of questionable value.","PeriodicalId":43250,"journal":{"name":"Foundations of Management","volume":"37 5","pages":"165 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41282608","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}
