The moderating effect of environmental uncertainty on executive shareholding and firms' investment decisions

This study investigates the relationship between executive shareholding and firm investment decisions (FID) under circumstances of environmental uncertainty (EU). We posit that the implementation of equity incentive plans for executives could influence their decision-making behaviour towards underinvestment or overinvestment. Using data from a sample of 400 listed Chinese firms from 2009-2012, we find that the relationship between executive shareholding (ES) and FID is inverted U-shaped. Further, we find a negative relationship between environmental uncertainty and FID, but no evidence of a moderating effect of environmental uncertainty on the association between executive shareholding and investment decisions. We, therefore, outline the implications of these findings and advance a theory based on these findings.

Job Insecurity Sebagai Variabel Pemoderasi dalam Hubungan Ketidakpastian Lingkungan Pada Kinerja Pegawai Inspektorat Provinsi Bali

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of environmental uncertainty on employee performance and knowing job insecurity can strengthen the relationship between uncertainty over the performance of employees of the Inspectorate of Bali ProvinceSampling in this study using purposive sampling technique. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression. The results showed that environmental uncertainty had no effect on employee performance, job insecurity had a negative and significant effect on employee performance, and moderating insecurity jobs strengthened the influence of environmental uncertainty on employee performance. The Inspectorate Staff of the Province of Bali is good enough in carrying out their duties, so that environmental uncertainty does not affect performance. But the Inspectorate inspector should provide motivation to grow the confidence of his employees and continue to improve teamwork in finding the latest information to make decisions and realize good governance.

Fast task allocation for heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles through reinforcement learning

A task allocation problem for heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of environment uncertainty is studied in this paper. Generally, the process of finding efficient allocation scheme can be computationally prohibitive. This work presents a Q-learning based fast task allocation (FTA) algorithm through neural network approximation and prioritized experience replay, which effectively offloads the online computation to an offline learning procedure. Specifically, the proposed approach develops a Q network that encodes the allocation rules. The Q network not only considers the effect of environment uncertainty, but also is capable of handling total different tasks. Comparison simulations are provided to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

A Study on the Effect of Environmental Uncertainty on Trade Dependence and Supply Chain Integration

The role of the consistency between objective and perceived environmental uncertainty in supply chain risk management

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand how the consistency between objective and perceived environmental uncertainty might affect supply chain flexibilities that cope with supply chain risk.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a case study of comparative four companies in order to obtain an in-depth knowledge of the environmental conditions under which the companies implement different types of supply chain risk management (SCRM) strategies: logistics flexibility and relationship flexibility.FindingsThe case analysis not only distinguished the different effects of objective and perceived environmental uncertainty on supply chain flexibility, but also established the propositions about the effects of the consistency between objective and perceived environmental uncertainty on logistics flexibility and relationship flexibility in SCRM.Originality/valueIn principle, supply chain flexibility aims to cope with complex and turbulent environments. Yet, empirical findings about the effects of environmental uncertainty on supply chain flexibility are inconclusive. This study addressed this question by differentiating between objective and perceived environmental uncertainty as well as between logistics and relationship supply chain flexibilities.

The mediating effect of strategic orientation and innovations on the effect of environmental uncertainties on the performance of business in the Indonesian aviation industry

PurposeThis study aims to (1) examine the mediating effect of strategic orientation on the effect of environmental uncertainties on business performance, and (2) examine the mediating effect of innovations on the effect of environmental uncertainties on performance of the business in the aviation industry in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachThe research design was conducted through a survey, and the testing form was carried out using “Relationship Causal Studies” or a study to analyze the causality among environmental uncertainties, strategic orientation, innovations and performance of branches/stations of airlines in the Indonesian aviation industry. The sample was selected by determining the number of branches/stations of the Indonesian airlines to be selected into the sample, then more than one unit managers were selected as respondents representing their respective branches/stations. The number of the target sample in this study was 250 branches. Techniques used to address the hypotheses of the present study were Descriptive Analysis and Structural Model Analysis. The inferential statistical analysis focuses on the subject of the analysis and data interpretation to draw conclusions.FindingsThese research findings provide a contextual overview of the aviation industry in Indonesia that activities to make innovations in airline branches play a vital role in encouraging business performance. Moreover, the analysis shows that the more innovative a branch the better its business performance. This corroborates the finding (Spacapan and Bastic, 2007; Talke, 2007) that being highly innovative can ensure sustainable and long-term business performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this research suggest that innovations mediate the effect of environmental uncertainties on business performance. These findings corroborate the results of previous studies that suitability between strategic orientation and innovations of a company in response to environmental uncertainties will affect performance of the company (Li and Gima, 2001; Manu, 1992). These findings also strengthen the view that companies with a higher level of innovations (innovative) have better business performance and competitive advantages (Kessler and Chakrabarty, 1996; Salavou et al., 2004; Spacapan and Bastic, 2007). Furthermore, based on findings, it can be interpreted that management that is able to overcome barriers to innovations, maximize innovation resources and achieve the target of innovations in the form of creation of better products/services will have better performance. The ability of the management to identify and overcome barriers to innovations and maximize the sources of innovation will generate products or services that can be accepted by the customers and eventually these products and services will be able to compete with better business performance (Blumentritt and Danis, 2006).Practical implicationsFindings of this research indicate the positive and significant mediating effect between environmental uncertainties on business performance, through the mediation of innovations, competitive conditions of the industrial environment which can encourage organizations to evolutionarily be more innovative in managing business to compete in the long term (Franke, 2007). This is also consistent with the theory of evolutionary economics (Nelson and Winter, 2000) that the old strategy may not suit the changes in the environment, and therefore companies should continue to seek new breakthroughs with persistent improvement and innovations.Social implicationsDynamic and competitive conditions of the industrial environment require organizations to more intensively explore sources (capabilities) of innovations and accelerate generation of the innovations (Franke, 2007; Berry et al., 2006; Dobni, 2006; Davila et al., 2006; Spacapan and Bastic, 2007). Contextually, it appears that the competitive conditions of the aviation industry in either the short term or in the long term require business actors to be more innovative and to survive (Franke, 2007).Originality/valueInnovations in business models as a new effort in improvisation specific to the business stage of the basic model (not very valuable) become more advanced business processes to produce products that are more valuable for consumers, at a more efficient cost with better profitability (Chesbrough, 2007b). So far, research on the role of innovations in response to environmental uncertainties and implementation of strategies to improve the performance of the environment-strategy-performance (ESP) model is still done partially so that there is no comprehensive model to describe the role of innovations in this ESP model, or let us say that a gap between theories and opportunities to do further research on the role of innovations in the ESP model exists.

Pengaruh Ketidakpastian Lingkungan Terhadap Perilaku Pegawai PEMDA dengan Ketidakpastian Tugas dan Job Insecurity Sebagai Variabel Moderasi

In present era, public sector services are one of the major demands. Employees are requested to show their excellent performance. The success on the job implementation is influenced by external and internal factors. This study aims to determine the effect of environmental uncertainty on the employee behavior with task uncertainty and job Insecurity as a moderation variable. This study uses questionnaires as a measuring tool.
 The subjects of this research are public service officer in Karanganyar, Sukoharjo, and Boyolali districts and also in a city of Surakarta City. The subject of the study is 127 people. The research shows that the coefficient of uncertainty in job implementation variable does not moderate the relationship between environmental uncertainty and employee behavior as shown by the significance coefficient of 0.889. While job insecurity variables moderate the relationship between environmental uncertainty and employee behavior indicated by a significance value of 0.025 which is smaller than 5%.

Service strategy to improve operational capabilities in the public sector

ABSTRACTPublic institutions, such as emergency services, face unique operational challenges because they do not have a clear profit motive, operate in a political system as opposed to a market system, and have a fragmented authority structure. This study applies traditional operations and service strategy theory to the not-for-profit, public sector context. Synthesizing research from these theoretical domains, a contingency framework is developed to determine the effect of environmental uncertainty and strategic choices on operational capabilities in emergency services under different governance structures. Operations strategy research traditionally uses survey-based measures, while emergency services research focuses on mathematical modeling techniques. In contrast, this study analyzes archival data with 9800 emergency incidents using hierarchical regression. The results support that in the public not-for-profit context, strategic choices mediate the impact of environmental uncertainty on operational capability. Furthermore, governance structure moderates the impact of environmental uncertainty and strategic choices.

A Study on the Effect of Oil Price Variations on Stock Returns under Environmental Uncertainty (Sales)

Oil is a commodity considered the most important export product in many countries, playing a key role in the economies. That is why oil price variations can have direct effects on economic sectors. Uncertainty caused by unpredictable oil prices can have a huge impact on the economic body. The main purpose of this study was to find the relationship between oil price variations on stock returns under environmental uncertainty during 2005-2014. The effect of environmental uncertainty on the relationship between oil price variations and stock returns were examined. The regression method and EVIWSE9 were used to evaluate the hypothesis. The results of regression showed that uncertainty, i.e. sales fluctuation at confidence level of 95% did not have a significant effect on the relationship between oil price variations and stock return.

Compete, coordinate, and cooperate: How to exploit uncertain environments with social interaction.

Countless decisions, from the trivial to the crucial, are made in complex social contexts while facing uncertain consequences. Yet a large portion of decision making research focuses on either the effects of social interaction or the effects of environmental uncertainty by examining strategic games against others or individual games against nature. Drawing a connection between these approaches, the authors extend a standard individual choice paradigm to include social interaction with 1 other person. In this paradigm, 2 competing decision makers repeatedly select among 2 options, each offering a particular probability of a fixed payoff. When both players choose the same, correct option, the payoff is evenly split; when they choose different options, the player choosing the correct option receives the full payoff. The addition of this social dimension gives players an opportunity to fully exploit an uncertain environment via cooperation: By consistently choosing opposite options, two players can exploit the uncertain environment more effectively than a single player could. We present 2 experiments that manipulate environmental (Experiment 1) and social (Experiment 2) aspects of the paradigm. In Experiment 1, the outcome probabilities were either known or unknown to participants; in Experiment 2, participants' attention was drawn to individual or group gains by introducing either within- or between-group competition. Efficient cooperation did not emerge spontaneously in Experiment 1. Instead, most people probability maximized, mirroring the behavior observed in individual choice. By contrast, between--group competition in Experiment 2 facilitated efficient-but not always equitable--exploitation of uncertain environments. This work links the concepts of individual risky choice and strategic decision making under both environmental and social uncertainty.

Effect of HR practice on NPD performance

Purpose– This paper aims to investigate the moderating effects of contextual factors which are environmental uncertainty on the relationship between human resource (HR) exploitation and HR exploration with new product development (NPD) performance and the mediating role of cross-functional integration between them. The main question this study wants to answer is how a firm implements HR practices to gain better performance under different environment factors. This study is the first empirical research which testifies the influence of HR exploitation and HR exploration on NPD performance.Design/methodology/approach– This study uses regression analysis to examine the moderating effect of environment uncertainty and structural equation modeling to test mediating effect of cross-functional integration.Findings– The result shows that HR exploitation influences NPD performance to a higher degree when environmental uncertainty is low than high. And HR exploration plays a more important role when environmental uncertainty is high; HR exploitation influences internal integration significantly, and the effect of HR exploration on external integration is significant; and internal integration and external integration mediate the relationship between HR exploitation/exploration and NPD performance, respectively.Originality/value– These findings not only contribute to the literature but also provide a view for organizations in making the right decision of exploitative or explorative practices under the giving environment factor which organization facing and achieving better performance.

Effect of Environmental Uncertainty and Supply Chain Flexibility Towards Supply Chain Innovation: An exploratory Study

Abstract The concept of supply chain management (SCM) is receiving greater attention among academicians and organizations and thus it is viewed as a potential source of bottom and top-line growth. Despite the potential for improving organizational performance through supply chain activities, little scholarly evidence exists in management literature to establish an association between organizational factors and SCM performance outcomes. Businesses that are seeking to achieve competitive advantage are forced to compete beyond the firm level to the supply chain level. As a supply chain competes with other supply chains, businesses would see that supply chains that are flexible will outperform those that are less agile in an increasingly uncertain environment. What it means is that, supply chain flexibility has emerged as an important management strategy to achieve competitive advantage and so businesses now have to look into improving their supply chain management practices to become flexible and responsive to an unpredictable environment and to cope with changing customers’ requirements.
