The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of role clarity and work autonomy on the performance of employees with the mediating influence of organizational commitment. Classical organization theory and role theory constitute the methodological framework of the study. Structural equation modelling and confirmatory factor analysis were used as research methods. Data is gathered from 311 employees of five different multinational telecommunication organizations operating in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Islamabad and Rawalpindi City, Punjab, Pakistan through a convenience sampling. We used AMOS for data analysis. The research results revealed that role clarity and work autonomy have a significant positive effect on the work performance of individuals. Similarly, organizational commitment demonstrated the partial mediation between the association of role clarity and work autonomy with work performance among employees of multinational telecommunication organizations. Employees who are uncertain about their job responsibilities are unable to be engaged and motivated at work. Organizations, therefore, should eradicate role ambiguities and conflicts to boost staff commitment by propping a clear role for the enhancement of work performance. This research extends the role theory, and our findings can give companies insights into how to customize autonomy levels for maximum productivity.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"96 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141003527","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}

Collective capabilities and motivation of university employees to absorb and effectively apply knowledge underlie the so-called university absorptive capacity. However, characteristics perceived by workers and the level of absorptive capacity may contrast with the assessments based on university performance standards. The paper proposes and tests a dual method for judging on university absorptive capacity based on normative and perceived assessments. Methodologically, the study rests on knowledge management, the fundamental theoretical framework that covers the concept of absorptive capacity of an organization. Among the research methods are comparative analysis of university performance indicators and economic statistics. Empirical evidence includes data from the survey of 187 academic staff members of Ural Federal University (Ekaterinburg, Russia) and the Monitoring of Efficiency of Higher Educational Institutions in the RF in 2022–2023. Having performed content analysis, we identified the following evaluation parameters: the current level of employees’ knowledge and the potential for knowledge absorption in the organization. The first part of the methodology presents an algorithm for comparing the growth rates of normative performance indicators of the university in question with those of analogous universities. The second part deals with assessing absorptive capacity based on academic staff’s perceptions. The testing results indicate that there is a discrepancy between the normative and perceived assessments, which allowed us to propose a set of measures for adjusting the HR management model in a university.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005081","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 article aims to examine the effect of packaging colour on consumer behaviour when choosing cheese products. The principles of sensory marketing constitute the methodological framework of the study. It applies neurophysiological methods to investigate consumer reactions during visual examination of the packaging colour. Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings and emotional responses identified by the Facial Action Coding System are used as empirical evidence. Vectors of emotional response were assessed using EmoDetect software. The research results show that the cheese packaging colour affects consumer choice, and its perception varies by gender and product group. According to EEG data analysis, the most intense emotional response in women was triggered by red cheese packaging, while blue packaging produced the least intense reaction. In men, it was black and white colours of boxes that induced the strongest and the weakest reaction, respectively. In women, a positive emotional response was recorded during visual examination of white and red cheese packaging, in men – of black ones. The most intense negative reactions were associated with blue and white packaging in women and men, respectively. Our study confirms that there are differences in emotional perception of the packaging colour between women and men, which should be considered by manufacturers to capture and keep consumer attention when marketing their products.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"30 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005343","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}

While providing the advantage of belonging to a network, network effects can curb the diffusion of alternative technological products, which can negatively influence public welfare. The purpose of this article is to work out a method of a compound impact analysis of direct network effect, critical mass and standardization when assessing changes in the competitive environment on a two-sided software market using the case of operating systems (OS). The theory of network effects constitutes the methodological framework of the study. The research method is an econometric analysis of the impact of the installed base of users, switch of standards and gain of a critical mass of users by applying a basic within model and a difference GMM model. The database consists of monthly country data on website visitors’ activity from the StatCounter web analytics service by desktop, mobile, and tablet devices for the period from 2009 to 2019. The study shows that, due to the saturation effect, markets experience a slowdown in the influence of network effects. The desktop OS market is characterized by the presence of a de facto standard, that is Windows OS, which indicates the monopolization of this segment. OSX, Android, and iOS are industrywide standards. The proposed approach allows analyzing a direct network effect jointly with gain of a critical mass of users and switch of standards.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"117 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141002717","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 discusses technological and institutional aspects of providing the public service of conferring academic titles in a digital form. The theories of public administration and public services, digitalization, jurisprudence and project management constitute the methodological framework of the article. The classical research methods, such as analysis and synthesis, are used. The empirical data are obtained through integration of the legal acts regulating the principles and mechanisms for rendering public services and conferring academic titles with the project documents of the Department of Scientific and Scientific-Pedagogical Workers Certification of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation. We indicate the need to legalize the procedures for initiating the nomination of an applicant for academic titles and justify the attribution of academic titles to the academic rights of scientific and scientific-pedagogical workers. Special focus of the study is on the reorganization of the academic titles institution and its role in assessing scientific qualifications and developing academic career. We address the controversial issue of granting the leading universities the right to independently confer academic titles (transition to a hybrid format) and emphasize the importance of balance between local and centralized regulation. In prospect the initiative to update the quantitative requirements and criteria for applicants for academic titles should be a key tool in revising the content of academic titles.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"119 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141002978","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}

Price volatility, however, is a factor in coordinating consumers’ and fuel producers’ plans. Economic theory fails to explain why in some countries, during a shock period, governments tend to regulate retail prices, while in others they develop market pricing mechanisms in the fuel market. The article reveals the influence of Douglass North’s social orders on the tendency of governments to establish a price regulation mechanism in the retail fuel market. New institutional economics constitutes the theoretical framework of the study. Among the research methods are case analysis, comparative crosscountry analysis, and statistical analysis. The empirical evidence comes from regulatory legal acts, US and Russian state statistics on fuel prices for 2019–2023, and materials from the GlobalPetrolPrices project. The research results revealed differences in uncertainty assessments by the governments of countries with different social orders: for regulators in open access social orders, industry shock is the reason of finding a new way to adapt to market conditions; for regulators in limited access social orders, it is the risk of destabilization of the social order.

The article aims to identify the criteria and sub-criteria to reveal the business competence through Porter’s model and ranking of business competence of each industry through the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) for Durgapur. Porter’s Five Forces Framework is used as the methodological basis to find the best alternate industry option based on their competitive position and provides the framework and subsequent criteria to analyse competitiveness. The key research method is the analytical hierarchy process that helps to measure the criteria qualitatively. The empirical evidence comes from the survey of 126 respondents: 36 experts who are well-versed in the industrial development of the city and fixed the weightage of the criteria through the AHP, and 90 industry-specific experts provide the range value for each criterion for each industry, which is used to generate the final value. The paper demonstrates the quantitative framework to establish the competition level of major industries in Durgapur, the strategic framework to support the industrial transition, and a brief about their dual nature of competition. We have figured out nine employment-generating industrial sectors within the city of Durgapur, among which are steel production, information technology (IT), education, healthcare, etc. The IT industry was found to be the most competitive sector that provided additional employment opportunities; it was followed by non-metal production, healthcare, and education.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140397298","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}

Nevertheless, the connection between personal-organizational fit regarding EO and the working attitudes of employees remains underexplored in the existing literature. This paper explores the impact of alignment between organizational entrepreneurial orientation (OEO) and individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) on employee’s positive work attitudes, focusing on affective commitment (AC) and organizational identity (OI). The foundation of research resides in the personal-organization fit theory, as well as social information processing theory. To rigorously evaluate our proposed hypotheses, we implemented a research design that incorporates polynomial regression with surface response analysis, sourcing our data from 292 valid survey replies gathered from personnel employed by private sector organizations in China. Results reveal a positive correlation between entrepreneurial orientation and positive work attitudes, but also a “too-much-of-a-good-thing” effect, where excessive alignment between IEO and OEO can lead to diminished positive work attitudes. These findings highlight the need for a balanced approach to aligning entrepreneurial values during recruitment and underscore the importance of supporting entrepreneurial employees in highly entrepreneurial organizations.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"9 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140397183","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 theoretical framework includes the concepts of public management and digital transformation, as well as spatial development theory. The methods of synthesis, expert assessment, and min-max normalization were used. Statistical data were retrieved from the Russian Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) for 2016–2021. It was found that the current methodologies for assessing transport infrastructure are not in line with the global trends in the social development, including digital transformation. In the paper, we come up with a new methodology for assessing digital transport infrastructure (DTI) which suggests calculating a composite index of the region’s DTI based on four subindices: transport, education, information and communication, and innovation. The study provides composite indices for Russia’s all federal districts for the period from 2016 to 2021 indicating that the regions are seriously lagging behind the center, and the development level of innovation, ICT and education is insufficient.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"27 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140285826","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}

Dynamic capabilities theory constitutes the methodological basis of the study. For the purpose of the research, the qualitative method was used, which has a detailed and exploratory approach with inductive questions and enables a holistic picture of the phenomenon under investigation to be revealed. The multi-site case study design was preferred, and the data collected were analysed using content analysis. In July–August 2022, 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the owners, top and mid-level managers of SMEs operating in the service sector in Turkey.

As a result of the research, the structure of the telework theme consisting of three dimensions (technological infrastructure, culture, and work attributes) and ten sub-dimensions (working order, trust, implementation history, business strategy, etc.) was discovered. For telework to be carried out healthily, firms should establish working order, work to be done, time spent by employees in front of the computer, etc., be more flexible and receptive to changes in work practices, create an appropriate culture and establish manager-employee trust.","PeriodicalId":517949,"journal":{"name":"Upravlenets","volume":"1 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140397335","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}
