A total of 431 surveys were collected from workers at different hierarchical levels, and data processing was done using the Structural Equations Model (SEM) and Multigroup Analysis. We found that SW and BT positively influence CP, with BT having the greater influence, and economic activity moderated these relationships. Consequently, we show that manufacturing companies use SW the most, while service companies tend towards BT. No significant differences were found in the multigroup analysis by type of industry. However, there was a positive association between CP and SW only for commercialization companies, which means that these are increasingly making inroads into using SW. This paper acknowledges the contributions of previous studies, and is the first to provide researchers, practitioners, and academics with empirical evidence on SW, BT, and CP. It also broadens the understanding of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and their impact on the CP of companies in emerging economies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45665072","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}

Data were collected from a sample of 276 female corporate executives working in different organizations in Bangladesh. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the demographic information. The relationships among the constructs were determined through regression analysis. Mediating and moderating effects are explained using Hayes’ SPSS Model 4 and Model 1 process macro, respectively. The results show that POQ has a negative influence on the WP of female corporate employees in Bangladesh. Moreover, JC has a mediating effect on the overqualification and WP relationship, whereas POS did not show a substantial moderating effect on the relationship between POQ and JC. We suggest that human resource managers should be cautious before employing overqualified employees and look for avenues to take advantage of the overqualified employees through empowerment, delegation, recognition, flexibility, and family-friendly policies. Given the mixed evidence of the effect of POQ on employee attitudes and behavior, it attempts to verify the POQ–work performance relationship through JC, which is an unexplored avenue of research. Furthermore, exploring the moderating role of POS in the POQ–work performance connection is a novel endeavor.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44666770","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}

As students are the key stakeholders who will determine the adoption or usage of it, their perceptions of it need to be considered. In this regard, this study aims to evaluate students' satisfaction toward BrightSpace, an adopted LMS by Indiana Aerospace University, using Nguyen's (2021) LMS satisfaction model, with sex and year levels added as moderating variables. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, 602 students from different degree programs participated in an online survey deployed using Google Forms. The survey aimed to test the influence of system content, instruction information, interaction, and technology quality on students' perceived LMS usefulness, and the influence of perceived usefulness on students' LMS satisfaction. The findings of structural equation modeling suggest that system content, interaction, and technology quality significantly and positively influenced students' perceived usefulness, subsequently leading to their satisfaction with the LMS. Results further revealed that sex is a moderating variable that influences the relationships between system content and instruction information with students' perceived usefulness of the LMS. Also, year level is a moderating variable of the relationships between system content and interaction with their perceived usefulness of the LMS. In conclusion, this study reveals the model's usefulness in understanding the factors influencing students' satisfaction with an LMS. Consequently, the results offer practical implications for practitioners in designing and increasing LMS satisfaction to create a more effective learning environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48570478","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 paper adopts the three analytical models—CCR (Charnes, Cooper, and Rhode model), BCC (Banker, Charnes, and Cooper model), and Super SBM (a slack-based measure of super-efficiency)—in the data envelopment analysis (DEA) framework. The four revenue streams—auditing publicly listed companies, tax advisory services, management consulting, and business registration and others—are defined as outputs in the empirical study. On the other hand, human resource metrics are referred to as Inputs. These metrics are either financial (wages) or non-financial (job positions, education, age, business services, and CPA licenses). According to the research findings, 22 out of the 42 sampled accounting firms are operationally efficient, while seven are inefficient when measured using the five constructs of human resource inputs. In terms of the overall operating efficiency, the average efficiency values in the CCR model are the highest when measured with education, age, and practice as the three constructs of human resources. In the Super SBM model, the average efficiency values are the highest when evaluated with practice, education, and age. The efficient accounting firms are mostly measured using the human resource constructs of education (34 firms), age (32 firms), and job positions (30 firms). For both efficient and inefficient firms, tax advisory services and auditing publicly listed companies are the two major sources of revenue and competitive advantage. Meanwhile, the management consulting business still requires extra effort. This paper suggests that accounting firms should spend more on wages as an input in order to enhance employees' loyalty and boost their willingness to work. The non-financial human resource metrics for efficient firms are partners, master's degrees, 25–34 years old, and auditing services; employees without CPA licenses are, in fact, the major contributor to operating efficiency. Managers are advised to assign important tasks to these employees and provide them with generous remunerations and benefits so as to retain these high-caliber professionals and motivate them to create revenues for different businesses. The non-financial human resource metrics for inefficient accounting firms are associates, university degrees, 25–34 years old, and auditing services; employees with CPA licenses are the major contributor to operating efficiency. Thus, managers should fully utilize this human resource and empower them to go the extra mile in boosting revenue streams and improving service quality. Finally, neither the change in input attributes nor the application of different DEA models alters the outcome of performance evaluations.

This paper aims to explore this issue by studying the implementation of BEM in Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in 2013–2019 (t). More specifically, we analyze the relationship between the BEM in the current year (t) and the financial performance in the previous year (2012–2018/t-1) and the following year (2014–2020/t+1) using non-financial performance as a mediating variable. This method is intended to discover whether measuring the results for the current year considers the company's performance from the previous year and stimulates progress in the following year. This quantitative study is based on a sample of 174 firms and 3654 observational data points. Employing partial least square–path modeling (PLS-PM), we find that BEM deployment is strongly related to non-financial performance as measured by corporate social responsibility activities, customer satisfaction, workforce quality, and total productivity. Nevertheless, this relationship does not predict financial success for the company, as measured by profitability, financial leverage risk, and shareholder return. Other findings indicate that the BEM on SOEs is not implemented properly, as evidenced by an unbalanced weight score between financial and non-financial performance, non-independent examiners, and political interests at the leadership level. Hence, SOEs are unlikely to gain financially from BEM deployment. A more specific explanation is presented in the discussion and implication sections.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45064862","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}

These have boosted the rapid rise of online food delivery platforms, thus creating an ecosystem connecting restaurants and consumers. The rise of online food delivery platforms not only gives consumers more options but also enables restaurants to discover more potential consumers through platform resources. While the rise of delivery platforms is a trend, it has numerous challenges. To explore these problems, this study collects relevant parameters, a tripartite evolutionary game model among platforms, restaurants, and consumers based on the participants’ bounded rationality is established. Meanwhile, the dynamic changes of the strategy evolution within the three groups are described and the equilibrium point through the replicator dynamics equation is solved. This study adopts the Jacobian matrix to analyze the stability of the equilibrium point of the evolutionary game to determine the main factors of the best strategy. In addition, the numerical simulation analysis is used to analyze the evolution path and equilibrium state among these three groups. The results show that if the additional expected benefits of using high-efficiency platforms are improved, consumers will be willing to choose delivery platforms. In order to increase the expected benefits of consumers using the delivery platform, it can provide a variety of meal choices, or allow consumers to choose a variety of different payment methods.
