Abstract

The hospitality sector in Batam drives the local economy by creating jobs, increasing incomes, and supporting local businesses through collaboration with vendors. While maintaining service quality remains challenging, competition among hotels encourages innovation. Adapting to technology and sustainability trends helps the sector thrive in tourism development. This research examines how organizational culture, knowledge management practices, and organizational learning impact human resource management practices, job satisfaction, and sustainable organizational performance, with organizational climate as a moderator. The study surveyed 233 out of 557 employees from star-rated hotels in Batam, using structural equation modeling with AMOS 20 for data analysis. The results show that organizational culture and knowledge management practices significantly influence human resource management practices (HRMP), while organizational learning does not. Organizational culture does not significantly affect job satisfaction, but knowledge management practices and organizational learning do. Organizational culture does not significantly impact sustainable organizational performance, whereas knowledge management practices and organizational learning positively do. HRMP significantly affects sustainable organizational performance, while job satisfaction does not. Organizational climate does not moderate the effect of HRMP on sustainable organizational performance but moderates the effect of job satisfaction on it. HRMP mediates the influence of organizational culture and knowledge management practices on sustainable organizational performance but does not mediate the effect of organizational learning. Job satisfaction does not mediate the effects of organizational culture, knowledge management practices, or organizational learning on sustainable organizational performance.

Objective: This research aims to investigate the impact of differentiation strategies, market-based approaches, and artificial intelligence marketing on sustainable competitive advantage, with school image as an intervening variable moderated by school culture at Balikpapan Private Vocational Schools. Theoretical Framework: Differentiation Strategy and Sustainable Competitive Advantage; Market Driven and Sustainable Competitive Advantage; Artificial Intelligence Marketing and Sustainable Competitive Advantage; School Image as an Intervening Variable; School Culture as a Moderating Variable By using these theoretical approaches, this research aims to explore how differentiation strategies, market orientation, and artificial intelligence-based marketing can influence sustainable competitive advantage in private vocational schools in Balikpapan City, with school image as an intervention variable and school culture as a moderating variable. Method: This research was designed as research using a quantitative descriptive approach. The data analysis technique uses SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) using AMOS software. This research can also be said to be research with an inductive paradigm, namely testing from a sample which will then be generalized to the parent population. The population in this study were 12th-grade students at Balikpapan Private Vocational School. Researchers chose class 12 because students at that class level can be said to have lived for quite a long time and experienced the learning process at school since entering (class 10) and have made adjustments until they reach the final level (class 12). So, grade 12 students are students who already have self-confidence towards various components of school, be it towards teachers, friends, or the applicable rules. The population and samples were taken through school clusters with the criteria for schools that have been accredited B. Results and Discussion: The results of multivariate outlier detection based on Table 5.14 show that fourteen observations have a mahalonobis d-squared value greater than the table chi-square limit of 58.30, namely respondents number 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, and 28 so that these fourteen observations (respondents) were indicated as outliers, and were excluded from the analysis. Next, the data will be reanalyzed without including outliers, so the sample size will be 223 (237-14=223). This size of 223 still meets the sample size criteria explained in the previous subchapter. this research confirms the importance of differentiation, market orientation and artificial intelligence-based marketing strategies in building sustainable competitive advantages for private vocational schools in Balikpapan City, with school image as a key factor that mediates this influence. An integrated and responsive approach to market needs and the application of innovative technology will increase the school's competitiveness and reputation sustainably.

Despite increasing competition, the construction industry is still lagging behind other industries in several aspects such as productivity growth, technology adoption, and human resource management. Although the causal link between human resource management (HRM) and organizational performance (OP) is well established and reinforced by several studies, the mediating mechanisms through which HRM practices impact organizational performance remain areas lacking consensus. This article, therefore, aims at examining the mediating roles of knowledge management (KM) and organizational learning (OL) in the established relationship between HRM and the long-term or sustainable peformance of Thai construction firms. Confirmatory factor analysis and partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) were employed as the methods of analysis. Based on the dataset of 194 responses, the empirical results of the study strongly supported the three hypotheses that assumed positive relationships between (1) HRM and OP, (2) HRM and knowledge management, and (3) organizational learning and the OP of the firms under study. These findings thus provide empirical evidence for the three relationships. However, empirical results testing the roles of KM or OL or both as mediating variables behind the link between HRM and sustainable OP were not confirmed by the dataset. Therefore, one of the practical implications provided by this study is that Thai construction firms should be better aligned and integrated their HRM practices, knowledge management, and organizational learning to enhance the firms’ competitive advantage and to help lead the firms towards a more sustainable pathway of business operations. However, since the fragmented activities of construction make it hard to apply human resource management effectively, such good alignment and integration of HRM, KM, and OL for improving performance may, in practice, be quite challenging for most construction firms.

The COVID‐19 global pandemic has adversely affected educational institutions worldwide, resulting in frequent mandatory lockdowns and social distancing rules. After waiting for a brief period, most organizations, including educational institutions, moved their operations from traditional in‐class to virtual, web‐based teaching‐learning. As a result of unprecedented change, faculty, students, and administrators faced several challenges. However, how the educational institutions were coping with this challenging situation remained an important question. To address this, we present Knowledge Management Process (KMP), Knowledge Management System Infrastructure (KMSINF), and Knowledge Management System Quality (KMSQU) as resilient strategies to convert the challenges into opportunities. Using the KM processes and practices, a complex model is constructed to positively influence employee commitment, performance, and job satisfaction. A survey instrument was used to collect data from 747 faculty members from 14 higher educational institutions in the southern part of India. After testing the measurement properties using the Lisrel package of structural equation modeling, the complex model was tested using Hayes PROCESS macros. The results indicate (i) KMP is positively related to performance and employee commitment, (ii) employee commitment mediates the relationship between KMP and performance, (iii) KMSINF moderates the relationship between KMP and employee commitment, (iv) KMSQU moderates the moderated relationship between KMP and KMSINF in influencing the employee commitment, and (v) performance is positively related to job satisfaction. The results suggest that KM processes, system infrastructure, and system quality are effective, resilient strategies to bring educational institutions to normal functioning during the present global pandemic. The implications for KM, employee commitment, and job satisfaction are discussed.

Organizations operating in the intensive knowledge-based sector seek efficient management approaches and sustainable development practices to perform efficiently in the dynamic business environment. Knowledge management practice and organizational learning are significant factors in order to achieve sustainable organizational performance in a rapidly changing business environment. Based on the scientific literature analysis, there is still a lack of evidence related to the mediating role of the whole knowledge management cycle, including the five knowledge management processes (knowledge acquisition, creation, storage, sharing, and application) in the relationship between organizational learning and sustainable organizational performance for organizations operating in intensive knowledge-based sectors. This study aimed to examine the impact of the whole knowledge management cycle on the relationship between organizational learning and sustainable organizational performance in intensive knowledge-based sectors, specifically the audit and consulting companies in the Middle East region. Systematic scientific literature analysis, expert evaluation (structured questionnaire), and structural equation modeling (SEM) technique were used to develop and verify the research model. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire distributed among auditing experts working in a knowledge-based sector—audit and consulting companies in the Middle East region. The research results supported the hypotheses stating that organizational learning positively affects knowledge acquisition, storage, sharing, application processes, and sustainable organizational performance.

Background This study examined how human resource management (HRM) can directly and indirectly influence sustainable organizational performance (SOP), with organizational innovation (OI) as a mediator. Research methods For this quantitative study, a 31-item questionnaire was used to collect data on HRM and SOP from 20 Shanghai branches of five Chinese banks. HRM was defined as multidimensional, consisting of employee staffing, staff development, performance management, and compensation and benefits. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM 3.2) was used to estimate the effects. Results The HRM practices of performance management and compensation and benefits showed a direct and positive influence on SOP. Looking at indirect relationships, all four dimensions of HRM practices were positively related to OI (product, process, and knowledge innovation), which, in turn, was positively related to SOP. Organizational innovation was thus shown to play a mediating role between HRM and SOP. Conclusion The study emphasizes that the banking sector of China consists of many employees who maintain old styles of working, alongside some who attempt to take on the new innovative working mechanisms and engage with staff development programs. This latter group of personnel make a valuable contribution to SOP. Moreover, the effect on organizational dynamics of implementing HRM practices aids in bringing about innovations in processes, products, and knowledge.

Growing trends of globalization bringing many challenges for organizations including managing performance of multicultural workforce toward achieving the organization’s objectives. Based on past researchers, many factors that influence employee’s performance have been highlighted, but the nature and scope of these factors have been limited to conventional settings. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to develop a comprehensive framework to better understand the role of the psychological diversity climate, human resource management (HRM) practices, and personality traits (Big Five) in job satisfaction and performance of a culturally diverse workforce. The review of past literature was conducted in the development of a conceptual framework. For this purpose, different databases, books, reports, and business magazines were consulted to evaluate current nature of literature related to multicultural workforce job satisfaction and performance. This conceptual article provides theoretical ground and proposes that psychological diversity climate, HRM practices (recruitment and selection, training and development, compensation and performance appraisal), and personality traits (Big Five) positively influence multicultural workforce job satisfaction. Finally, this article explains that culturally diverse workforce job satisfaction predicts job performance. This article suggests that managers and human resource professionals should develop psychological diversity climate among employees, upgrade HRM practices as per diversity needs, and attract individuals with certain personality traits such as agreeableness, emotional stability, and extroversions. Based on past theoretical review, the proposed framework is developed with the aim to address the gap and contribute to the HRM body of knowledge. These variables have never been explained by past researchers in multicultural setting.

Research Question: The study aims to identify the level of effectiveness in Human Resource Management (HRM) and its impact on employees’ satisfaction in the banking sector of Serbia. Motivation:The aim of this research is to measure the satisfaction of employees in the banking sector of Serbia. In addition to the overall goal of this study, it is necessary to list some specific objectives: to provide human resource management (HRM) analysis, to focus on the main dimensions of HRM in practice, to present a test for measuring employee satisfaction in practice, to identify weaknesses in management that affect employee satisfaction and to propose measures to improve employee satisfaction and increase motivation. The research attempts to point out the basic driving factors for better work and effects, as common motives for all workers, such as salary, job interest, the opportunity of further progress, the degree of autonomy in the performance of tasks, and the possibility of personal affirmation. The challenge that puts the management of human resources and its application into practice becomes a very relevant field of inquiry. It is important to know the answer to the research question in order to arrive at a response to whether or not to comply with Pareto optimum: “When we know where and why we are headed, little things can point us to the right direction” (Debreu, 1954). The novelty in the study is that some aspects (career improvement and job security) bring employees a greater degree of satisfaction, while others (salary and business climate) are rated as bringing significantly lower levels of satisfaction. The work is based on the applied Kruger study (Kruger et al., 2008). It is used for research, because in this specific case it makes it possible to collect the results of mortgage execution on a sample of employees of 10 banks, whose results would be useful at the level of the banking sector in Serbia. Idea: The basic idea of this paper is to evaluate different levels of employee satisfaction with different dimensions of quality of work in banking institutions. The study involves analyzing the level of satisfaction from the aspect of selection and selection of employees, job security, employee salaries, career advancement, professional training and professional development, management style, job responsibilities, awards and recognitions and, finally, business climate as key dependent variables. The key independent variables are gender, age, education and length of service, as demographic characteristics of the respondents. Data: The analysis was carried out through a questionnaire sent to the employees of the bank. The target population is employed in the banking sector on the territory of Serbia. Among the different banks, this study takes into account ten banks. 93 questionnaires were available for statistical analysis. Tools: Statistical analysis of all collected data (Z-test, correlation analysis) were used to draw conclusions about relationships between variables, specifically what employees start in the organization. With the help of the Pierson correlation coefficient, statistical significance is determined, which shows motivational effects in the behavior of employees. Findings: The findings revealed a high level of effectiveness of all HRM practices. A strong positive relationship has been identified between the effectiveness of HRM and employees’ satisfaction. The study recommended improving financial compensation system of banks, which would positively increase the level of employees’ satisfaction. Contribution: This paper expands the existing research related to the developing employee motivation in the banking sector and formulates practical suggestions for increasing motivation and avoiding its relativization. Promoting transparency and publicity and an effective system of rewards, compensation and salaries according to merit and contribution to work tasks should be promoted. It is possible to achieve a business climate by respecting the individuality and dignity of each employee, and thus to build trust among employees and loyalty to the institution.

There have been many literature focusing on Knowledge Management (KM) contribution to the business world, and there is still a lacuna of empirical studies related to KM and Human Resource Management (HRM) practices. This paper examines the effects of KM and HRM practices relating to the organizational performance and employee’s job satisfaction level. A theoretical model is proposed to identify significant relationships and to develop some hypothesis. These hypotheses are then tested with a structural equation modeling using a randomly selected survey data set of 150 respondents, where variables in the questionnaire have been considered from previous empirical studies. Results demonstrate significant positive effects of KM and HRM practices to the organizational performance. Finding also reveals that employee’s loyalty to the organization depends on employee’s job satisfaction which is highly influenced by the organizational performance. Although the sample is limited to a Bangladeshi organization, the new model can be employed to datasets from other developing countries.

Why do some organizations learn at faster rates than others? Why do organizations "forget"? Could productivity gains acquired in one part of an organization be transferred to another? These are among the questions addressed in Organizational Learning: Creating, Retaining and Transferring Knowledge. Since its original publication in 1999, this book has set the standard for research and analysis in the field. This fully updated and expanded edition showcases the most current research and insights, featuring a new chapter that provides a theoretical framework for analyzing organizational learning and presents evidence about how the organizational context affects learning processes and outcomes. Drawing from a wide array of studies across the spectrum of management, economics, sociology, and psychology, Organizational Learning explores the dynamics of learning curves in organizations, with particular emphasis on how individuals and groups generate, share, reinforce, and sometimes forget knowledge. With an increased emphasis on service organizations, including healthcare, Linda Argote demonstrates that organizations vary dramatically in the rates at which they learn-with profound implications for productivity, performance, and managerial and strategic decision making. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013.

The project challenges of the oil and gas industry are characterized by changeand uncertainty. Work operations span the globe and smooth working partnershipscannot be anticipated. However, we can confront that uncertainty by becomingmore agile. Greater levels of agility rest upon leveraging the power ofknowledge - the cornerstone of successful corporations. The difference between powerful Knowledge Management (KM) programs and thealso-ran is the ability to identify and enable critical knowledge. Theknowledge management system is a tool and not the end product. People stillmake the system work and are the critical component for input, expertcollaboration, and mentoring. In fact business value is created when criticalknowledge gets to the right person at their teachable moment and it is applied.The crucial knowledge-set within your organization is often hidden - sometimesburied - because it resides in people or in many electronic reports or instacks of lessons-learnt. The question we need to ponder is: Can too muchknowledge flow? The goal of this paper is to outline how executives in the oil and gas industrycan capture and share knowledge to improve business performance. The papercontents will detail the best, most practical and innovative practicesorganizations are using today to create, maintain and measure knowledgesystems. The paper draws upon decades of research and experiential learning onperformance analytics, best practices, process improvement, and knowledgemanagement. The hope of the author is that the paper will prove to be a usefulreference whether your needs are to retain technical knowledge across globaloperations or transfer best practices in complex drilling geographies. What Is Knowledge Management? From a practical perspective, we define knowledge as information in action.Until people take information and use it, it isn't knowledge. In a businesscontext, knowledge is what employees know about their customers, each other,products, processes, mistakes, and successes, whether that knowledge is tacitor explicit.

The Second Edition of this classic work, first published in 1981 and an international bestseller, explores the differences in thinking and social action that exist among members of more than 50 modern nations. Geert Hofstede argues that people carry "mental programs" which are developed in the family in early childhood and reinforced in schools and organizations, and that these programs contain components of national culture. They are expressed most clearly in the different values that predominate among people from different countries. Geert Hofstede has completely rewritten, revised and updated Cultures Consequences for the twenty-first century, he has broadened the book's cross-disciplinary appeal, expanded the coverage of countries examined from 40 to more than 50, reformulated his arguments and a large amount of new literature has been included. The book is structured around five major dimensions: power distance; uncertainty avoidance; individualism versus collectivism; masculinity versus femininity; and long term versus short-term orientation. --Publisher.
