Logistic regression analysis is employed to assess the determinants of the IR4.0 adoption. This study contributes to the literature related to the risk preference of CEOs and proxy of IR4.0 adoption from several dimensions, including the profile of key personnel, technology suppliers, Chief Information Officer and Technology Committee. This study found that elder CEOs are unlikely to invest in IR4.0 technologies due to their risk-averse behaviours. Moreover, CEOs are unlikely to pursue more risk-taking activities if they also hold board chairs. The agency theory explains that weak monitoring of the board reduces the performance expectation of CEOs, and hence, CEOs prefer to be prudent to protect their status. However, CEO with foreign tertiary education experience is more likely to adopt IR4.0 technology because they have more global knowledge, broader perspectives, and a more receptive attitude to risks and innovative solutions. Lastly, it is found that female CEO tends to be more prudent in firm with fewer directors due to lower complexity and relatively narrower scope of operations.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504300","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 effects of Timely Information Sharing (TIS) on Financial Performance (FP) in the context of Supply Chain Finance (SCF) have been hitherto neglected, especially in the context of environments affected by uncertainty. The study contributes to the related literature by developing an integrated framework interlinked with Information Processing and Contingency theories and it facilitates the understanding of the relationships that exist among SCF, TIS using advanced technology, and FP in the context of the environments affected by uncertainty caused by unpredictable events like terrorist attacks and pandemics. To corroborate the relationships and validate the relative framework, we applied Structural Equation Modelling to the data collected from 261 firms. Our findings show that SCF significantly influences FP and that TIS plays a mediating role in enhancing FP interlinked with modern technology. The study also provides the implications of SCF and TIS in strengthening Supply Chain Management 4.0 operations affected by unprecedented circumstances that hinder FP and its viability within the supply chains’ context.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"159 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504301","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}

Given that their suppliers have an impact on their competitive advantages, firms must ensure that the selection process for suppliers includes dynamic capabilities such as sustainability, resilience, and digitalization. This is crucial for maintaining competitiveness and effectively managing external disruptions. The objective of this article was to provide an analysis of recent literature on supplier selection through a descriptive and thematic analysis. By examining dispersed literature, this study has developed a framework for supplier selection rooted in building dynamic capabilities of whole supply chain with three important dimensions—resilience, sustainability, and digitalization. Findings of the study will assist managers to improve their supply chain performances, particularly in their supplier selection and evaluation by highlighting the crucial role of dynamic capabilities.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504302","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}

Work-life balance, subjective well-being and job satisfaction are three of these factors and it is in the best interest of companies to handle these topics carefully. This is a sine qua non condition of the strength and the quality of relationships with employees. It is also a source of confidence for employees, especially where this is being mediated through Human Resource (HR) processes. Our article studies the quality of life at work in the particular context of an MAR healthcare pathway that exacerbates the consequences for employees. Our work with hundreds of people enduring an MAR process shows that depending on whether firms take this situation into account or not, employees will feel either well-being or ill-being and will have different burnout or job satisfaction levels. All these variables influence their commitment and job performance. These links between a healthcare pathway and quality of life at work on the one hand, and between the quality of work and performance on the other hand, should lead employers to support employees in a personal vulnerable situation. The strength and the quality of the support provided by the HR function and the management is therefore a key point in the level of confidence that exists between firms and their employees.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140934500","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}

Based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and data at multiple time points from 389 entrepreneurs, results indicate that there is a positive relationship between WFC and entrepreneurial exit intention among entrepreneurs during the pandemic. Entrepreneurial passion plays a critical mediating role between WFC and entrepreneurial exit intention through the lens of resource loss. External relationship embedding, as a vital external resource provider, plays a moderating role in the relationship between WFC and entrepreneurial passion. It also moderates the mediating role of entrepreneurial passion in the relationship between WFC and entrepreneurial exit intention. Overall, this research broadens the existing COR theory from the perspective of resource gains and losses and investigates the complicated interplay between WFC, entrepreneurial outcomes, and external relationship networks. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in this work.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140840628","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}

Design/methodology/approach: A multimethod approach is employed where the data (161 responses) are drawn from two quantitative data sources. The primary data are obtained from the questionnaire survey, and the secondary data are gathered from the annual reports. Multiple linear regression analysis is used as the analytical method. Findings: This study finds that gender diversity is positively and significantly associated with big data analytics investments. Next, the association between gender diversity and big data analytics investments is negatively moderated by education diversity. The association between gender diversity and big data analytics investments is weakened when the education diversity is higher. Originality: This study is one of the first to examine the intervening processes of how gender diversity affects big data analytics investments using education diversity as a moderating variable. This study is novel in its approach to providing empirical evidence and examining the moderating effect of education diversity. Practical implications: This study shows that gender diversity facilitates big data analytics investments. The findings help policymakers encourage the female director’s role in strategic decision-making. The negative moderating effect of education diversity on gender diversity and big data analytics investments association implies that firms may face challenges accessing resources. The findings help firms promote open debates and effective communication in strategic decision-making to leverage education diversity.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"293 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140116281","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}

Decisions are, therefore, often centralized. However, such centralized decision-making processes frequently deprive the organizations of vital inputs coming from the employees, who are usually closer to the problems and the customers. Therefore, this paper aims how employees engage in voice during a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that forced various organizations to resort to remote work without prior planning. Methodology: To explore how employees engage in voice during a crisis, like the COVID-19 pandemic, the study relied on qualitative analysis and used three focus groups with 15 participants working at a German international organization operating in Egypt as a bilateral development partner with the Egyptian government. The responses were later subject to content analysis. Findings: Unexpectedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the employees to work remotely. Due to the availability of certain antecedents, the employees engaged in a promotive voice that was primarily informal, expressed individually and collectively, directed to managers and peers, and frequent at the onset of the pandemic but diminishing later on. Originality: The study offers in-depth insights into how a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic changes the nature of work, the different antecedents that encourage the employees to engage in voice in times of crisis, and the nature of this voice during the crisis.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140116571","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}

In Brazil, there is a strong relationship between agricultural cooperatives and politics, with their involvement focused on competing for regulations, information, and access to capital. However, little is known about the effects of this involvement. In this paper, we draw on collective action theory to investigate the individual and collective corporate political activities adopted by Brazilian agricultural cooperatives. Corporate political activity (CPAs) are a subfield of nonmarket strategy (NMS) that addresses actions firms develop outside the market arena to improve their outcomes and achieve competitive advantage. This study focuses on CPAs of Brazilian agricultural cooperatives, which account for over 48% of national agricultural production. We argue that collective CPAs are more effective for these cooperatives, as they enhance their representativeness and legitimacy, facilitating access to capital. To support our argument, we conducted a quantitative study using panel data from 394 Brazilian agricultural cooperatives. The results demonstrate the significance of collective CPA for accessing financing from the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) and contributing to collective action theory by offering a political perspective. Moreover, the study enriches CPA literature by identifying two innovative collective CPA tactics: affiliation with central cooperatives and the Organization of Brazilian Cooperatives (OCB). Lastly, the study highlights the importance of cooperation for individual and collective outcomes in practical settings.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"4 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139386831","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}
