Talent management and Employee Engagement have been studied extensively in management literature in the last ten years, both concepts have become a field of interest. Therefore, this study explores the impact of employee engagement as a mediator on the relationship between talent management and organizational performance. The reason for doing this research is that most of the studies have studied the relationship between talent management directly on organizational performance and have not included employee engagement as a mediator. Midwives were selected as samples since their talents can further enhance the professional ability of midwives in carrying out their duties: to save mothers and children during childbirth.

Open innovation has been identified as two dimensions, the flow of knowledge obtained from outside and processed within the organization and has a role as a key business responsiveness to prevent any risks that will be faced. From this knowledge flow is a successful approach to new product development featuring outbound and inbound knowledge that is managed with the aim of getting out of the bounds of risk. Therefore, this study investigates and explains the clausal relationship between the variables used, such as inbound and outbound open innovation, product innovation, marketing innovation, firm performance, and environmental turbulence as moderating variables. This study uses a quantitative approach and designs a questionnaire that has been distributed to 115 SMEs owner / managers as a sample. In the process of formal data collection, a random sample was used in this study which was distributed to the owner / manager of SMEs. While the processing, analysis, and hypothesis testing process of this study uses PLS-SEM which is a statistical tool for applying all data scales, does not require many assumptions, and confirms relationships. The findings in this study indicate that what has a positive and significant effect is the relationship of inbound open innovation to product innovation, product innovation to marketing innovation, marketing innovation to firm performance. In addition, the moderating effect of environmental turbulence in a positive way is only product innovation on firm performance. Further explanation of the implications of the findings has been discussed and confirmed.

The study aimed to identify the impact of the application of institutional governance principles in the accounting disclosure of service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). The study collected the financial statements of companies during the period 2014-2019, and the extent of applying the principles of institutional governance was measured through indicators included (board of directors’ size, board of directors’ independence, and concentration of ownership). Accounting disclosure was also measured by return on assets and earnings per share. The study population consisted of service companies listed on the ASE, and the study used the random sample where the number of companies included in the study population (14) companies. The required data was obtained throughout the financial reports of companies published on ASE website as a study sample. The results showed a statistically significant effect on the application of institutional governance principles using their instruments (board of directors’ size, board of directors’ independence, and concentration of ownership) in accounting disclosure (return on assets, earnings per share). In the light of the previous results, the study presented several recommendations, which most importantly: The need to adhere to the principles and rules of institutional governance in a way that assists to protect the rights and interests of shareholders.

This paper identifies the degree of strategic agility and its relationship with the competitive advantage in the private hospitals in Jordan. To achieve this goal, a special questionnaire was developed for a sample of managers in hospitals. The study distributed 208 questionnaires to 27 hospitals, and managed to collect 95% of them, properly. The target group was mainly hospital directors, deputy directors, district directors and department heads. The researcher presented a set of recommendations that could be considered necessary to achieve a level of competitive advantage in all fields of hospital work. In the light of the problem of research and its questions and the review of relevant studies, the current research sought to test the validity of the hypotheses of the study. The results of the statistical analysis revealed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the extent of the Agility exercise and the competitive advantage of private hospitals in Jordan (α=0.05). The results also showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the strategic sensitivity and competitive advantage of the private hospitals in Jordan (α = 0.05). However, the results of the hypothesis did not differ from the second sub-hypothesis, where there was a statistically significant relationship between the substantial and competitive advantages of private hospitals in Jordan (α = 0.05). Finally, the statistical analysis found that there is a statistically significant relationship between technology and competitive advantage in private hospitals in Jordan (α = 0.05).

The purpose of this research was to look into the work-life interface of professionals in a de-manding and high-risk occupation in an organization in the security sector. Specifically, it focuses on the interaction between supervisor behaviors and culture with turnover intention and work-family conflict. The present study centers on data from a public security organization (3861) in a Latin American country. The validity of the measuring instruments was evaluated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was then applied to evaluate the relationship between variables. Results found show a statistically significant negative impact of the supervisor behaviors in organizational (turnover intention) and individual outcomes (work-family conflict). At the same time, organizational culture negatively affects turnover intentions and work-family conflict. While confirming results coming from the private sector in other countries, the importance of supervisor behaviors and culture provides implications for work and family practices in this type of organization.

Internal and external integration in hotel industries is essential to improve Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) to maintain hotel performance and sustainability. This research is to examine the impact of internal and external integration on GSCM and hotel performance. It is quantitative research with judgmental sampling. Questionnaires were distributed to 72 hotel employees from 62 hotels of three-star hotels and above, who understand GSCM and hotel performance in East Java. But 66 questionnaires were returned, and only 62 questionnaires were valid for data analysis. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) is used to analyze with the help of Java Web Start software. The results show that all six hypotheses are supported, internal integration with Use technology to significantly determine plans and coordination capable of external integration and GSCM. External integration with Sharing knowledge with partners and Collaborating in solving problems can improve GSCM significantly. Supply chain integration, which consists of internal integration and external integration, impacts hotel performance by reducing hotel waste and Efficient use of resources. GSCM in implementing Eco green, green procurement and product life cycle have a significant impact on improving hotel performance.

This paper aims to investigate the mediating role of relationship conflict and moderating role of organization citizenship behavior and leader-member-exchange quality on the relationship between team value diversity and team performance. Data was collected from 263 employees of the telecom sector addressing the variables of value diversity, team performance, relationship conflict, OCB and LMX. Regression analysis found that team value diversity negatively affects team performance, and relationship conflict significantly mediates this relationship. It was also found that OCB and LMX significantly moderate the relationship, such that in the presence of these two, value diversity doesn’t affect team performance rather team performance is positive when these two are present. The findings of this research confirm that for effective management of team diversity in organizations, team leaders must also wisely manage relationship conflict.

This study aims to understand and test the factors influencing the effectiveness of learning and teaching political economy among Vietnamese universities. Over 1500 students from different majors and different school years have taken part in this study. The data collected from questionnaires was analyzed by SPSS version 2016 and EVIEW 10. From this study, it can be said that learning motivations and teaching methods are the most important factors driving the success of teaching and learning the political economy. Furthermore, males seem to be more interested in studying this subject and getting a higher GPA compared to females. Students from higher school-year, by contrast, have lower levels of interest in studying this module, leading to the lower effectiveness in teaching and learning this module. Finally, while teaching methods and teaching quality are positively correlated with the dependent variable, the administration service and infrastructure negatively influence the teaching and learning objectives.

This research aims to compare the influence of service quality on intention to use broadband internet through attitudes and technology acceptance, as mediator variables between large and small broadband internet service providers (ISPs) in Thailand. A comprehensive review of the literature has modified the development of this behavioral model that explains intention to use of broadband internet. A data set from two groups: large and small broadband ISPs, nationwide survey was conducted in Thailand (n = 928 consumers). The theoretical model was tested using structural equation modeling. The findings show that integrated models have good explanatory power (78.3 percent) to predict customer’s intention to use broadband internet. The results of this study are as follows. Firstly, service quality: tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy, supports second-order factor analysis. Service quality has an influence on attitude, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use broadband internet both two types of service providers. Secondly, perceived usefulness has a significant effect on attitude, and intention to use only in small companies. Thirdly, attitude, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use as mediator variables have a positive effect between service quality and intention to use broadband internet. This study proposes customer acceptance on broadband internet using a modified TAM.to reveal the impact of service quality on intention to use. The results of this study can be replicated and extended to ASEAN countries. The conclusions and implications for management provide alternatives for companies to increase the number of internet users in order to improve overall quality of life.
