Does ethical climate of the organization foster entrepreneurial marketing? The role of work engagement and effective knowledge transfer

Purpose This study aims to explore how an organization’s ethical climate determines the type and effectiveness of entrepreneurial marketing activities. Also, this study seeks to identify the most critical intra-organizational capabilities related to entrepreneurial marketing components and explain their role in the path of ethical climate to entrepreneurial marketing, which means moving from the intra- to the extra-organizational environment. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from managers working in 100 scientific and research companies in Iran through survey questionnaires. Latent variable structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings The findings reveal that the linkage between the ethical climate of the organization and entrepreneurial marketing is partially mediated by work engagement. In addition, the mediating role of knowledge transfer was not confirmed. These results imply that the ethical climate of the organization fosters entrepreneurial marketing by enabling employees with absorption, vigor and dedication. Research limitations/implications Scientific and research companies in this research are different in size, resources, knowledge management system, organizational structure and products offered to the market; they have different emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship as well. This issue increases the variety of data and the ability to generalize the results. Still, on the other hand, it reduces the ability to categorize data and increases the amount of outlier data. Future research in a comparative manner between different industries is needed. Practical implications This study indicates that an organization’s ethical climate can be a critical predictor of its entrepreneurial marketing as well as effective knowledge transfer and work engagement. In this regard, organizations should pay attention to employee’s perception of the organization’s ethical climate and create an environment that supports productive behaviors, commitment, trust, communication, work dedication, etc., to facilitate knowledge transfer effectively so that the organization can identify market opportunities and turn it into customer-oriented innovation, cocreate value for their customers and increase market share. Originality/value In turbulent markets, companies need to introduce quality and reliable products. Still, because the life cycle of products has shortened and the speed of introducing new products has increased, the supply of products will fail if companies are not equipped with new marketing methods. In this regard, the current research will seek to provide a mechanism for organizational capabilities on the road to entrepreneurial marketing by expressing entrepreneurial marketing as an innovative approach and trying to identify factors affecting it.

ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ОСНОВИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНОГО МЕХАНІЗМУ УПРАВЛІННЯ ЕКОНОМІЧНОЮ БЕЗПЕКОЮ БУДІВЕЛЬНИХ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ

The theoretical bases of the formation of the organizational mechanism of management of economic safety of construction enterprises are generalized. It was noted that the current state of construction enterprises in war conditions has revealed many problems with regard to the efficiency of the use of basic funds, innovative activity and the level of automation of technological processes in the poor. All these problems significantly affect the level of provision and management of economic safety of construction enterprises. It is determined that the organizational mechanism of management of economic safety of the construction enterprise should include the interaction of two subsystems: management, which affects the level of economic security of the building enterprise, and subordinate, on which this influence is directed. Functions of the economic safety management system of the construction enterprise ensure the interaction of these systems. It was noted that the management mechanism of economic safety of the construction enterprise should ensure the development of the basic principles of the management system, the creation of the economic security service at the enterprise, the collection of necessary information and supervision of compliance with the planned indicators. On the basis of the definition of the main elements of the organizational mechanism of management of economic safety of the construction enterprise, the conclusion was made that the organization mechanism is a set of organizational components in the management mechanism (objectives, functions and tasks of management, technologies and methods of management; rules, norms and principles; organizational processes), which have a certain management influence on ensuring economic security and preserving the commercial interests of the business entity. Defined directions of the organization of the process of management of economic security, as well as requirements to the organizational structure of management.

FORMATION OF THE MANAGEMENT DECISION REGARDING THE CHOICE OF THE ENTERPRISE LOGISTICS STRATEGY

One of the most important management processes of logistics management is the process of development and implementation of management decisions regarding the choice of the enterprise logistics strategy, corresponding to market conditions, the state of the enterprise and its corporate strategy.
 Analysis of the latest research and publications on logistics management shows the presence of unresolved problems in the definition and calculation of indicators for assessing the state of the enterprise's logistics system from the standpoint of the process approach and the use of data available for the enterprise’s calculations. It was determined that the objects of assessing the state of the enterprise logistics system are: the subject of management (management personnel, organizational structure of management, technology and information support of management) and the object of management – the logistics system itself or logistics business processes (interaction with suppliers, warehousing, dispatching, transportation, forwarding operations and financial settlements).
 In the course of work on this scientific article, it was determined that the some issues require further research. Among them are assessing the state of the logistics system, the effectiveness of logistics costs in the enterprise as a whole and in terms of individual business processes, as well as clarification of the influence of the state of the enterprise's logistics system and the level of efficiency of logistics costs on efficiency management of the enterprise's logistics activities and the selection of appropriate logistics strategies.
 The article analyzes the existing main typologies of logistics strategies of enterprises and presents their analytical characteristics. A description of the main logistics business processes of road transport enterprises is also given, based on the specifics of the offer and provision of road transport services.
 A two-dimensional model of making a management decision regarding the choice of the enterprise's logistics strategy has been developed, depending on the state of the logistics system (by its object and subject components) and the level of efficiency of the enterprise's logistics costs (economy). To assess the state of the logistics system, it is suggested to use the methods of point assessment, expert survey and analysis of hierarchies. Estimating the effectiveness of logistics costs involves the use of an integral assessment and a taxonomic method.
 It is proposed to choose a specific logistics strategy based on the key factors on which the company's logistics management is oriented (costs, quality, time, logistics assets). A general indicator of the implementation of the selected logistics strategy quality has been developed: the relative change in the state of the logistics system must exceed the relative change in the efficiency of logistics costs. This will contribute to the fact that the costs of the main logistics tools for the period under study were effective.

Policy analysis of cervical cancer prevention in Iran based on the policy triangle model

BACKGROUND: Widespread use of screening in high-income countries has led to a significant reduction in cervical cancer mortality. Most low- and middle-income countries still have poorly organized screening programs. This study aimed at policy analysis of prevention and early detection of cervical cancer in Iran, a middle-income country. MATERIALS AND METHOD: This qualitative retrospective study, extended by the health policy triangle model, was conducted from July 2020 to September 2021. A sample of this study consisted of 43 participants, including 16 key policy experts; nine 11 senior health system managers, 13 executives, and 3 clients selected purposefully. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using the interview guide and analyzed using a framework analysis method based on the policy triangle model in MAXQDA2020. RESULTS: Nine themes, 15 subthemes, and 36 codes were extracted based on the 4 dimensions of the model; stakeholder analysis challenges, including conflict of interest and decision-making challenges. Moreover, the most important policy process challenges indicated the weakness of monitoring and evaluation systems and weakness of using scientific principles in policy making. Weakness of organizational and intersectoral structure and weakness of executive management were obtained among the challenges in the context analysis. Finally, the most important challenges related to content analysis are weaknesses in applying scientific principles in policy making, including weaknesses in standard operating procedures, and low use of HTA capacity in developed guidelines. CONCLUSION: A wide range of economic, social, and cultural problems can affect cervical cancer prevention policies. Several strategies are suggested to overcome these challenges, including allocating separate funds to cancer prevention programs, using structures to sustain prevention programs, designing, and using them to improve public awareness.

Labor Productivity of Chinese Industrial Enterprises: Issues and Solutions

Although the labour productivity of Chinese industrial enterprises has increased to a certain extent in recent years, its growth rate faces the pressure of slowing down and its level is still lower than that of developed countries and some developing countries. At this background, this report focused on studying labour productivity of Chinese industrial enterprises, which could help them understand comprehensively the current situation of their labour productivity and take countermeasures to improve their labour productivity. Through relevant analysis of Chinese industrial enterprises’ labour productivity by collecting the data mainly from the CEIC Data and NBSC, this report found that the labour productivity of Chinese industrial enterprises has shown an overall upward trend since the founding of China, but the growth rate has been unstable and there have been periodic fluctuations. The main factors that affect their labour productivity include human capital, technological innovation, management innovation, market environment and institutional environment. In order to improve their labour productivity, Chinese industrial enterprises were suggested to strengthen human capital investment and cultivation, promote technological innovation and transformation, optimise management innovation and organisational structure, and improve the market and institutional environment

The Role of Behavioral Principles in the Functioning of Mesoeconomic Systems (Using the Example of Russian Technology Parks)

The effectiveness of the technopark’s functioning depends to a great extent on the quality of its management bodies. The article analyzes two of the most common management models: the short-term vision strategy model (technoparks as some kind of public services that ensure the emergence of innovative enterprises) and the long-term vision strategy model (technoparks not only as service providers to residents and other participants, but also as creators of a favorable business environment together with the state, universities and research organizations). Since the building of the organizational structure of management takes place in the existing institutional environment of the functioning of technoparks, a wide range of behavioral capabilities of management subjects arises.The purpose of the work is to analyze the behavior of management companies and resident companies of technoparks from the standpoint of behavioral and experimental economics, introduced into scientific circulation by Nobel laureates D. Kahneman and V. Smith, R. Thaler.The methodology of the study is based on a statistical analysis of the indicators of the VII National Rating of technoparks of Russia, presented on the GISIP platform of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation. Methods of multivariate statistical analysis of the sample structure and identification of correlations of indicators are used.Results. The main model of innovative business development in Russian technoparks (more than 60% of the surveyed) participating in the rating is the short-term development model. Within its framework, management companies, limited by institutional requirements, adhere to the strategy of maximizing profitability from development activities in their behavior. The high risks of innovation activity of resident companies and the behavior of the management companies of technoparks, striving individually to achieve their goals, do not contribute to the realization of the general goal – the development of innovative business in the country. Examples of technoparks are given, in which the mechanisms of interaction between management companies and resident companies are revealed.

The Moderating Role of Psychological Safety in the Relationship between Job Embeddedness, Organizational Commitment, and Retention Intention among Home Care Attendants in Taiwan.

As Taiwan's population ages, the need for long-term care, such as home care, is increasing due to improved medical services and longer life expectancy; however, the current coverage rate for home care services is only 50%, highlighting the importance of retaining home care workers. This study applies job embeddedness, organizational commitment, and psychological safety as variables to explore the retention intention of Taiwan's home care workers. A questionnaire survey was distributed among home care workers using convenience sampling, resulting in 547 collected questionnaires, of which 458 were valid. Data analysis was conducted with SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0, and a structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. Our findings suggest that job embeddedness has a positive impact on organizational commitment (γ = 0.649, γ = 0.607, and γ = 0.628; p < 0.001) and retention intention (γ = 0.253, γ = 0.242, γ = 0.271; p < 0.001), similar to organizational commitment (γ = 0.721, p < 0.001). Additionally, organizational commitment mediates job embeddedness and retention intention, while psychological safety moderated organizational commitment and retention intention (β = 0.639; p < 0.001). This study aims to provide information for the development of more effective human resource policies and contribute to practical advancements in the home care service environment and management structure of home care organizations. By analyzing and exploring the main factors contributing to home care workers' retention intention, we hope to enhance the overall benefits of home service organizations and the industry.

VUCA Factors Influencing Stakeholder Relationship Management Development: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract The term VUCA (volatility – uncertainty – complexity – ambiguity) accurately describes nowadays’ high pace society in which changes reshape organisational management structures and impact stakeholder relationship management networks. As such, the influence of the VUCA phenomenon demands a closer evaluation in some of the industries where it had a high impact. This paper aims to provide the reader with a systematic literature review on the VUCA aspects which influence the development of stakeholder relationship management in specific industries, as well as provide a list of factors that influence organisational management evolution. The papers in scope for this study were selected if they considered the perceived impact stemming from VUCA factors. For this purpose, over 40 academic studies have been identified and analysed against inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicate that engineering education, leadership adaptability and resilience, learning agility, culture of innovation, systemic approaches, and the ability of businesses to drive excellence are some of the most highlighted aspects which can weigh a heavy influence on the development of stakeholder relationship management. Moreover, there is further need for further research into how methods and frameworks react to VUCA effects across industries.

Innovation, Awareness and Readiness for Climate Action in the Energy Sector of an Emerging Economy: The Case of Kenya

The public sector plays a pivotal role in setting the pace for climate action innovation through policy development and inter-organization collaborations for sustainable energy solutions. There is generally a lack of a proper understanding of innovation in the public sector compared to the private sector, with the public sector being considered slow, bureaucratic adopters of innovation. This study investigated the understanding and approach to innovation in public energy organizations, determining if and how these organizations innovate and their ability to innovate, especially towards climate action, in Kenya while comparing them with Iceland, a developed economy with equivalent geothermal energy potential. A questionnaire survey was conducted in public energy organizations in Kenya and Iceland. Statistical analysis was used to validate and evaluate the collected data. The study findings revealed that innovation collaboration systems in organizations positively predicted the employees’ innovation awareness, confirming that energy sector innovations shall require public–private sector collaboration in developing innovative, incremental, and disruptive energy solutions. Employee knowledge and skills, on the other hand, were found not to be a predictor of an organization’s innovation awareness. Furthermore, employees’ motivation to innovate, as well as organizational innovation strategy, management structure and leadership, were found to positively predict an organization’s readiness to innovate. Finally, the Kenyan energy sector was benchmarked against the Icelandic energy sector indicating some noteworthy differences in the prioritization of energy sector climate action initiatives, with most organizations identifying themselves as innovation generators and innovation adopters and the least being innovation imitators, showing the organizations’ commitment to developing new technologies, markets and policies towards sustainable energy solutions.
