Abstract

The motivation of this study is to analyze the impact of corporate culture, management commitment, and Human resources management on operational performance and the mediating effect on those relationships from JIT implementation. A questionnaire-based survey was used to investigate the research questions. Data from a sample of 410 manufacturing plants were analyzed using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) procedure. Study findings unveil direct effect running from corporate culture, management commitment, HRM, and JIT to operational performance. Considering the indirect effect i.e. the mediating role of JIT, findings suggesting that there is partial mediation available in the estimation. On the other hand, the direct effects of corporate culture, management commitment, and HRM on JIT is positive and statistically significant. It is advocated that the effective implementation of JIT in manufacturing units can contribute to increasing operational performance side by side the presence of other key organizational attributes.

Highlights

  • Organizational performance is a vital indicator of any organization’s success or failure. perfor­ mance measures in terms of both quantitative as well as qualitative terms, and it is achieved by the efforts of individual employees and departments (Zehir et al, 2016)

  • The questionnaire comprises six parts, the first part is about the basic information of surveyed companies and respondents, the second part is about the corporate culture situation which is measured by a set of Likert question which is adopted from empirical studies see, for an instance (), the third part is about the Management commitment situation, which is measured by a set of indicators

  • All the later contracts are exported from past studies. the fifth part is about the operations performance, which is measured by a set of latent construct adapted from empirical literature by following Baird et al (2011), Kaynak (2003), and Chen (2015) and the six-part has about measured the presence of JIT in the production process

Summary

Introduction

Organizational performance is a vital indicator of any organization’s success or failure. perfor­ mance measures in terms of both quantitative as well as qualitative terms, and it is achieved by the efforts of individual employees and departments (Zehir et al, 2016). The skepticisms side of JIT effects available in literature i.e. insignificant influence on operation performance see, for instance, (Abdallah et al, 2019; Dean & Snell, 1996; Nugroho, 2007; Shah & Ward, 2003) They postulated that successful implementation of JIT asked for managerial commitment, organizational efficiency, and adaptive organizational culture. With our best understanding, this is the first-ever study where JIT’s presence as mediating variable in examining the relationship between key organizational attributes i.e. corporate culture, management commitment, and HRM practices, on the operational performance of the manufacturing industry in Bangladesh, more precisely on RMG sector.
