Emphasizing Organizational Resilience: Influence of Environmental Uncertainty and Stress Management on Project Management and Organizational Success

An excellent project management strategy is essential for organizational success in the fiercely competitive and constantly changing food manufacturing industry. In this industry, project managers frequently deal with a great deal of environmental unpredictability, which can affect their stress levels and, in turn, their performance. This study employs quantitative analysis through SmartPLS 4.0 to investigate the relationship between environmental uncertainty, stress management, project manager performance, and overall organizational success in the context of the food manufacturing industry. A comprehensive survey was conducted within the food manufacturing sector, encompassing a population of project managers. A stratified random sampling approach yielded a sample size of 218 respondents, who provided data on environmental uncertainty, stress management practices, and self-reported performance as project managers. SmartPLS 4.0 was employed for data analysis, enabling structural equation modeling to examine the relationships between these variables. The quantitative analysis reveals significant correlations between environmental uncertainty and project manager stress levels within the food manufacturing industry. Importantly, stress management practices were found to act as a crucial mediator in this relationship. Project managers who effectively manage stress reported enhanced performance outcomes, contributing to organizational success. These findings underscore the significance of proactive stress management strategies in mitigating the adverse effects of environmental uncertainty.

The mediation role of organizational strategy orientation on the effect of environmental uncertainty on the performance of travel agency companies

The global pandemic has had a significant impact on the economic sector and the tourism sector and its supporting businesses, where many market segments of the tourism industry, such as hotels, restaurants, and travel agents, have reached a saturation point. Companies need to determine a clear strategy in the face of a dynamic change in the business environment to achieve the expected performance and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. The discussion of strategies also focuses on the discussion on the strategic orientation of the organization. Research on the orientation of organizational strategies in the tourism industry, especially in the travel agent sector, has yet to be widely studied in depth, and how the impact of the pandemic on the sustainability of the performance of travel agent companies. This paper aims to examine the mediation role of the organization's strategic orientation on the influence of environmental uncertainty on the performance of travel agency companies. The respondents in this study were the manager of a travel agency company throughout Indonesia and we used a purposive sampling technique with a sample of 75 respondents. The method of collecting data is using a questionnaire and then the data is analyzed using PLS-SEM.

Executive equity incentives, employee stock ownership plans, and enterprise performance: Empirical evidence based on environmental uncertainty

Taking China’s A-share listed companies from 2014 to 2021 as the research sample, this article verifies the differential impact of executive equity incentive and employee stock ownership plan on enterprise performance and examines the economic consequences of their implementation under the influence of environmental uncertainty, the nature of property rights, and the quality of external audit. The results show that 1) there are significant differences between executive equity incentive and employee stock ownership plan on enterprise performance. 2) The effect of executive equity incentive is more significant when the environmental uncertainty is low, while the effect of employee stock ownership plan is more significant when the environmental uncertainty is high. 3) The equity incentive of state-owned listed companies cannot significantly improve enterprise performance when the environmental uncertainty is high. 4) High-quality external audit can significantly improve the effect of equity incentive on enterprise performance, and the effect is more obvious when the environmental uncertainty is high. The research conclusion confirms the necessity of reasonably selecting equity incentive objects under the influence of environmental uncertainty and also provides a useful reference for optimizing the reform of equity incentive system of state-owned enterprises and perfecting the external audit system.

Performance effects of analytics capability, disruption orientation, and resilience in the supply chain under environmental uncertainty.

The relationship between Analytics Capability of an Organization (ACO) and both Supply Chain Disruption Orientation (SCDO) and Supply Chain Resilience (SCR) in order to achieve adequate operational performance in an era of environmental uncertainty is carried out in this study. Total three hypotheses (seven sub-hypotheses) using a survey of 405 respondents are collected via a pre-tested instrument and tested further. Results indicated the influence of ACO on both SCDO and SCR to achieve the desired degree of operational performance. However, under the moderation of environmental uncertainty, the link between ACO and SCDO was not supported, although the link between ACO and SCR was supported and this further enhanced operational performance. Further investigation of unsupported hypotheses using statistical analysis was conducted to gain deeper insights. It is explained how ACO impacted dynamic capabilities to influence operational performance. The contribution to theory of this study lies in explaining the role of dynamic capabilities that emerge from analytics as compared to the traditional view of supply chain classification. Further, the influence of environmental uncertainty on positioning dynamic capabilities strategically to address disruption in supply chains is discussed in the present study.

Incremental theory of personality attenuates the effect of environmental uncertainty on intertemporal choices

To examine the impact of environmental uncertainty on individuals’ intertemporal choices and the moderating effect of implicit personality theory, two studies were conducted. Study 1 investigated the moderating role of implicit personality theory in the influence of environmental uncertainty on intertemporal choice using questionnaires. Study 2 examined whether priming incremental personality theory could change entity theorists’ intertemporal preference in an uncertain environment. The results showed that implicit personality theory plays a moderating role in the influence of environmental uncertainty on intertemporal choice. For entity theorists, the delay discounting rate was positively correlated with environmental uncertainty. In contrast, for incremental theorists, the delay discounting rate was not significantly correlated with environmental uncertainty. After priming incremental personality theory, entity theorists’ delay discounting decreased significantly. Thus, we conclude that incremental personality theory buffers the effect of environmental uncertainty on intertemporal choice.

Missile guidance with assisted deep reinforcement learning for head-on interception of maneuvering target

In missile guidance, pursuit performance is seriously degraded due to the uncertainty and randomness in target maneuverability, detection delay, and environmental noise. In many methods, accurately estimating the acceleration of the target or the time-to-go is needed to intercept the maneuvering target, which is hard in an environment with uncertainty. In this paper, we propose an assisted deep reinforcement learning (ARL) algorithm to optimize the neural network-based missile guidance controller for head-on interception. Based on the relative velocity, distance, and angle, ARL can control the missile to intercept the maneuvering target and achieve large terminal intercept angle. To reduce the influence of environmental uncertainty, ARL predicts the target’s acceleration as an auxiliary supervised task. The supervised learning task improves the ability of the agent to extract information from observations. To exploit the agent’s good trajectories, ARL presents the Gaussian self-imitation learning to make the mean of action distribution approach the agent’s good actions. Compared with vanilla self-imitation learning, Gaussian self-imitation learning improves the exploration in continuous control. Simulation results validate that ARL outperforms traditional methods and proximal policy optimization algorithm with higher hit rate and larger terminal intercept angle in the simulation environment with noise, delay, and maneuverable target.

Influence of environmental uncertainty on source power estimation in shallow water waveguide

The method of estimating matched field power solves the problem that the traditional method of estimating power under the assumption of spherical or cylindrical wave is greatly affected by the shallow water waveguide. However, the accuracy of the matched field power estimation is seriously affected by the environmental uncertainty. In this work, the environmental sensitivity in source power estimation is defined, and the loss of the source power estimation performance is quantified when the environment is uncertain. The relation between the loss of the source power estimation performance and the estimation deviation of the acoustic transfer function is derived by using the modulus deviation and the angle between the estimated acoustic transfer function and the ideal value. On this basis, we study the mechanism of the influence of environmental uncertainty on source power estimation, and the influences of water depth, sound speed of water and sound speed of sedimentary layer on the estimation of source power. The results show that the influences of different environmental parameters on the modulus are small, and the decline of the power estimation performance is mainly due to the fact that the angle varies greatly. The change of water depth has the most significant influence on the power estimation results, and the change of sound speed of sedimentary layer exerts little influence on the power estimation results. Beside the water depth, the change of sound speed of water has a greater influence on the power estimation results at high frequencies.

Following or Running Away from the Market Leader? The Influences of Environmental Uncertainty and Market Leadership

Competitive dynamics theory suggests that rival firms imitate other competing firms with similar resources to maintain competitive parity while are likely to differentiate from the market leader to avoid its dangerous retaliation. According to neo‐institutional theory, in highly uncertain environments, rivals are likely to imitate the market leader because they assume it possesses superior market knowledge. Combining these two lines of argument, we argue that a rival's decision whether to follow or run away from the market leader depends on environmental uncertainty and market leadership, the latter expressing the extent to which the market leader owns a larger market share vis‐à‐vis the other rivals. The empirical analysis relies on data about the product line strategies of 66 mobile phone vendors in the 1994–2010 period. The results show that when environmental uncertainty is low, the relationship between a firm's market leadership and imitation by its rivals is negative, whereas in conditions of high environmental uncertainty, imitation of the market leader increases with its market leadership.

Convergence, Stability, and Variability of Shallow Water Acoustic Predictions Using a Split-Step Fourier Parabolic Equation Model

The Shallow Water Acoustic Modeling (SWAM'99) Workshop was organized to examine the ability of various acoustic propagation models to accurately predict sound transmission in a variety of shallow water environments designed with realistic perturbations. In order to quantify this, tests of reciprocity, convergence, and stability must be considered. This paper presents the results of an established parabolic equation model based on the split-step Fourier algorithm. The test cases examined in this paper include a simple isospeed water column over a flat bottom with geoacoustic parameter variations, a randomly sloping bottom with geoacoustic parameter variations, and a canonical shallow water profile perturbed by internal waves over a flat, homogeneous bottom. Source configurations were generally held constant but numerous single frequency and broadband runs were performed. Model testing is emphasized with specific criteria for accurate solutions being specified. Random perturbations are added to one test case to examine the influence of environmental uncertainty on the details of the propagation. The results indicate that point-wise accurate solutions to the acoustic field in shallow water cannot be achieved beyond a few kilometers. This is partly due to the inaccuracies of the split-step Fourier algorithm employed in these shallow water scenarios and the treatment of the bottom interface boundary conditions, but also due to the inherent variability caused by uncertain environmental specification. Thus, more general features of the acoustic field should be emphasized at longer ranges.

The influence of environmental uncertainty on the strategic use of information systems

How market hostility affects managerial competencies is an important human resources issue. The role of the CEO in strategic information systems planning and the CIO business planning may become more important under environmental uncertainty, especially for firms highly dependent upon information technology. In this study, CIOs were surveyed determine how environmental uncertainty information intensity impacted the role strategic IS planning practices. Both environmental uncertainty and information intensity were more strongly related to SISP practices in the electric utility industry when compared to other industries surveyed. Undergoing deregulation, electric utility companies are now being exposed to a level of environmental hostility not experienced in the past. Results indicate that a sudden change in environmental uncertainty may be a more important motivation to the use of SISP practices than the level of uncertainty itself. Data also suggest that information intensity may moderate the relationship between environmental uncertainty and SISP practices.
