The present study centered on the mediation of innovation and the moderation of collective organizational engagement in affecting human capital (a combination of skill and knowledge) on sustainable competitive advantage and further examined human capital, innovation, and collective organizational engagement impacts on sustainable competitive advantage. Subsequently, this study utilized a quantitative approach, engaging 270 sample frame SME units in Indonesia using a Likert scale questionnaire and examining it using SEM-PLS. The findings demonstrate that human capital positively and significantly impacted innovation and sustainable competitive advantage, indicating that a high level of business skill, business orientation, perception of risk, and know-how management enhances the organization’s innovation capability, creating distinctive, exceptional, and invaluable resources as core competencies of sustainable competitive advantage. This study confirms and advances the RBV theory and previous studies by examining intangible resources' mediating and moderating role, in which innovation contributes to mediating the effect of human capital on sustainable competitive advantage and collective organizational engagement reinforces (moderates) the impact of human capital on establishing sustainable competitive advantage. So, the results of this research illuminate the significance of human capital, innovation, and collective organizational engagement as the organization’s superior resources in manifesting sustainable competitive advantage.

Literature indicates it is crucial to understand how SMEs could adapt to changes in their external environment to develop a competitive advantage. However, there is limited discussion on how entrepreneurs’ resilience functions as one of the dynamic capabilities required to maintain their company’s competitive advantage in the long-term. This study aimed to investigate how entrepreneurial resilience affects SMEs ability to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. It also analyzed the moderating role of local cultural values in reinforcing resilience and sustainable competitive advantage. The population consisted of 400 handicraft SME who were thought of as Bali’s sustaining tourism sector. The results demonstrated that financial capital, human capital, and social capital were factors that shaped entrepreneurial resilience, where the ownership of capital and access to capital helped entrepreneurs when encountering changes in the dynamic and challenging industrial environment, where the role of financial capital was one of the sources of resilience that had the most significant influence. Furthermore, entrepreneurial resilience also contributed significantly to the achievement of sustainable competitive advantage. Moreover, the results also indicate that local cultural values strengthen entrepreneurial resilience because entrepreneurs who adjusted to local cultural norms developed in the surrounding community tended to respond positively to their behavior. Positive environmental acceptance could reinforce entrepreneurial resilience, given the psychological support of their behavior.

The study examines how school-related factors influence the cognitive, psychological, and mental development of Vietnamese students. We randomly sent the questionnaires to more than 2000 students with different majors at five top universities in Vietnam based on the Ranking Web of Universities and conducted in-depth online interviews with respondents. Subsequently, we tested the correlation between student development and four school-related factors, including academic staff quality, school infrastructure, teaching curriculum, and school environment, using SPSS 22 and STATA version 2016. The findings suggest the significant role of staff quality in determining the level of student satisfaction. Specifically, students express their satisfaction and appreciation with their studies if their teachers have a solid academic platform. More importantly, infrastructure is positively correlated with three dependent variables, while teaching curriculum only influences cognitive development. The school environment positively affects psychological, mental, but not cognitive development. We also find that gender does not moderate students’ development but does influence student satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to empirically examine the role of technology innovation on the influence of intellectual capital on SMEs performance. Resources based view and stakeholder theory underlies this research. Primary data was collected using a survey method from 399 culinary business SMEs managers spread throughout Bali. The number of samples is determined using the Slovin formula. In this study, the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was applied to be tested for validity and reliability. The results of the study show that human capital, structural capital and customer capital have a significant positive effect on technology innovation. Human capital has no effect on SMEs’ performance, but structural capital and customer capital have no significant effect on SMEs performance. Technology innovation has a significant effect on SMEs’ performance. Furthermore, technology innovation can mediate the influence of human capital, structural capital and customer capital on SMEs performance.

Current organizations need to create advantages by measuring and developing intangible resources. Business intelligence and knowledge management help to achieve it. On the other hand, virtual teams have problems that make the regularization of their work processes and their social interaction methods difficult and restrict the team members to unfold efficiently. Knowledge management purposes skills from structural capital and human capital and it is believed to solve these types of problems in virtual teams. This research has the objective to identify the best practices and opportunity areas for the intelligent management of virtual teams by showing practical suggestions in the discussion built with the inferential statistics testing of five hypotheses. The results indicate that three hypotheses were accepted while two were rejected.

This article establishes and grounds the topicality of personal human capital for its development. It proves that the available approaches, methods and models do not consider the business enterprise needs to increase the efficiency of individual employee’s contribution to the formation of market value. Human capital is offered to consider as a function of personal intelligence, which depends on the personal creative, status and social abilities. The adaptation of mathematical tools is conducted to establish intellectual personal characteristics with justification of different variants of their numerical values.

This study investigate the effects of high involvement human resources on organizational performance. The study is accomplished through hypothesizing the effect of high involvement work sys-tems on performance as the main relationship. This effect is theorized to be mediated through knowledge-based capital. Additionally, leadership style is considered as the potential moderating force in the theorized model. Data is analyzed from 380 collected questionnaires distributed among hotel employees in Jordan using structural equation modelling techniques. The results show that high involvement work systems had a positive effect on performance, social and human capital. Human and social capital mediating role is also observed. Finally, leadership style is emerged as a moderating variable affecting the relationship between high involvement work systems and performance.

Nowadays, development and sustainability are often combined in the analysis of regional and local processes. In this case, the definition of both competitiveness and sustainability of development require adequate interpretation and quantitative assessment. Territorial marketing is used as a tool to assess the competitiveness of a region. The main purpose of our research is to analyze the methodological and practical aspects of the sustainable development strategy of competitiveness of the Kazakhstan regions and the ways to implement it based on territorial marketing. Among the crucial indicators of territorial marketing, which this article tackles, supply chain management draws particular interest. Each indicator includes a set of criteria that best describe it. This is a 10-point rating system, where the region that showed the best result gets 10 points. It is assumed that based on the generally accepted methods the overall competitiveness can be measured, considering the competitiveness of the 5 mentioned indicators, as well as their assessment with regard to the competitiveness of their criteria. The research results showed that the aggregate indicator for all the regions is below average. The findings show that the Turkestan and Pavlodar regions are the most competitive in supply chain management, having the largest number of shipments. The overwhelming majority of Kazakhstan enterprises are small enterprises, which suggests that the logistics services market is still developing. The use of modern information technologies will optimize warehouse operations. A positive result is ensured by effective local regulation since doing business in Kazakhstan is relatively cheap. In our research, we offer some recommendations for improving the territorial indicators that determine the competitiveness of regions.
