Absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance in state-owned companies

PurposeThe objective of this article is to analyze the relationship between absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation, and performance within Brazilian federal state-owned companies.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data were obtained using survey research. Secondary data were obtained using the Federal State-owned Companies Bulletin and the website State-owned Companies Overview. Tested and validated scales were selected to reflect Absorptive Capacity (ACAP), Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO), and Organizational Performance (OP) variables applied to a sample of 119 managers and advisors of federal state-owned companies. Structural Equation Modeling techniques were applied to identify the statistical significance of the direct, indirect, and total effects. The final measurement and structural model presented convergent and discriminant validity with acceptable adjustment indexes.FindingsACAP was found to be directly related to the ability to identify, recognize, transform, and especially implement new knowledge. EO is related to the institution’s ability to take risks, be proactive, and innovate. Those are fundamental processes for fulfilling the mission of state-owned companies, for their survival, and for improving the quality of public services provided to society. These findings differ from studies carried out in private companies since the ACAP-exploration dimension in private businesses displays a relevant relationship between the factors composing EO, a feature not observed here.Originality/valueThe paper’s main contribution is to confirm the influence of ACAP on EO and EO on OP, considering the environment of Brazilian federal state-owned companies. Such results expand the scarce academic studies on absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation, and performance in the public area, in addition to offering perspectives of specific training direction to expand the competencies of public managers.

THE IMPACT OF STRATEGY DIFFUSION ON ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF PROJECT-BASED ORGANISATIONS: A STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELLING APPROACH

This study investigating the utilization of top-down and bottom-up techniques in spreading an organisation’s strategy and getting back the performance. Additionally, project-based organizations may not have yet examined the use of one of the diffusion theories (such as Rogers' Theory of Innovation Diffusion) in contexts related to strategy or projects. Therefore, it was important and essential within project-based organizations to comprehend and use a strategy diffusion (top-down) and report its performance (bottom-up); to fulfil the entire drive of the strategy and increase the competitive advantage of firms. This study included a thorough examination of strategic management, diffusion theory, and project management facets. The strategy spreading techniques were based on Rogers' five well-known skills of diffusion theory; to diffuse the strategy (top-down) and reveal performance results (bottom-up) to feed each level of the project-based organization hierarchy structure, taking advantage of the interactions that exist among the strategy, the portfolio, and the project management facets. Additionally, since it is well known that organizational culture has a significant impact on business outcomes, mediation effects for the organizational culture related to the four organizational levels were considered throughout the relationship's examination between all the research variables. The research framework was therefore adopted and created. A questionnaire was designed and administered to strategy, portfolio, program and project professionals and data was analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM) to assess the strength of the relationship between the strategy diffusion (top-down) variables, performance feedback (bottom-up) variables at all project-based organizational levels and the organizational performance variables, as well as, considering the mediation effects of the organizational culture. In addition, the direct and indirect causal influence of strategy diffusion influencing factors at all the levels of strategy, portfolio, program, and project and the organizational performance were evaluated. The findings indicate that strategy diffusion has a strong impact on organizational performance within project-based organisations. Whereas significant positive influences on the relationships were found between the research variables. In recent years, many studies have examined topics about relationships amongst strategy management, portfolio management, program management, and project management. However, those studies investigating the traditional one-way cascading of the organizational strategy. Furthermore, a few studies have been conducted to investigate the usage of top-down and bottom-up strategies to propagate an organization's strategy and improve performance. Furthermore, in project-based organizations, the prospect of applying one of the diffusion theories (e.g., Rogers' Theory of Innovation Diffusion) inside strategy or project contexts has not yet been investigated. As a result, this study added value in terms of the application of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to comprehend and apply strategy dissemination (top-down) and report its performance (bottom-up) within project-based organizations.

Impact of knowledge management on job satisfaction and organizational performance among healthcare employees: A structural equation modeling approach.

Organizational knowledge management (KM) involves creating, preserving, and sharing employees' knowledge. This approach can enhance efficiency, improve performance, and boost job satisfaction (JS) throughout all aspects of the organization. This research aimed to investigate the effect of three variables of KM, JS, and organizational performance (OP) on the employees of the Health and Treatment Network in Haji Abad City. A study was conducted with 211 employees, such as physicians, nurses, and technicians. These employees worked in various sections, such as hospitals, health centers, rural centers, and emergency centers within the Health and Treatment Network of Haji Abad City. Newman and Kenard's KM, Hersey and Goldsmith's OP, and Smith, Kendall & Hulin's Job Satisfaction Questionnaires were used. The statistical software LISREL 8.8 was used to conduct structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that the structural equation models had a good fit. Significant positive relationships exist between KM processes (creation, retention, and application) and JS. No significant relationship was found between knowledge transfer and JS. The coefficient obtained from SEM between knowledge retention and OP was 0.74, indicating a strong and direct correlation between the two variables. The standardized coefficients for the relationship between knowledge creation and retention and JS were 0.45 and 0.33, respectively. This indicates a positive and direct effect of knowledge creation and retention on JS. All KM processes positively predict OP. The research model had a good fit, and the KM processes had a positive effect on performance and JS. However, no significant relationship was found between knowledge transfer and JS among employees in the Health and Treatment Network. More research is needed to identify mediating variables and factors influencing this phenomenon in healthcare centers.
