The study aimed at determining the extent to which Jordanian medical devices adopted the supply chain practices and to investigate the impact of those practices on organizational performance of the Jordanian medical devices’ firms. A cross-sectional approach was used to meet the purpose. A robust questionnaire was designed and used to collect primary data from the study sample. 200 questionnaires were completed and returned by the participants. SPSS version 21 and SEM were employed, with the use of (AMOS:21) to analyze and explain the collected data and to validate the research framework. The results demonstrated that medical devices firms in Jordan have adopted the supply chain practices and revealed a significant impact of those practices on the performance of the medical devices in Jordanian context.

This study examines the effect of the performance of traders in the partnership relationship between the government, the private sector, and the community which is very necessary to build a food supply chain network in order to provide stimulation for the supporting factors and reduce the inhibiting factors for the success of the merchant's business, increase profits, and maintain food availability in traditional markets. This research was conducted at Andir Market, Bandung City, Indonesia. The research sample consisted of 100 Andir market traders. The research method used was a quantitative method with survey research that uses a questionnaire as the main instrument in data collection. The results of the analysis and discussion of the researchers have identified factors that can be used to strengthen the food supply chain network in the Public-Private-Community Partnership in traditional markets, namely management, empowerment, physical market conditions, and competitive strategies. Simultaneously, the four traders' performance factors have a significant effect on the food supply chain network with an R-square value of 0.658 (65.8%) with tcount greater than 1.96 or (3.817> 1.96). This means that if the changes that occur are good in the performance of traders, the food supply chain network in traditional markets will also be good, while the remaining 0.342 (34.2%) is explained by factors other than these variables. The expected implication is that the success of the supply chain network that is built due to strong interactions within the Public-Private-Community Partnership and other supply chain actors is able to face challenges during and after the pandemic. So that the quality of traditional market products, especially products that are quickly damaged or rotten, can be superior and well guaranteed for the food needs of people throughout Indonesia.

Relationship quality plays a key role in maintaining the connection among parties in a supply chain. Relationship quality promotes loyalty of the supply chain’s factors. This study applies structural equation modeling (SEM) to point out factors affecting the relationship quality and loyalty between farmers and food companies in the rice supply chain. The research data were collected by stratified sampling with a sample size of 232 farmers associating with food companies in the rice supply chain in the Mekong Delta. The four impacting factors that the study has found out include trust, perceived benefit, support policy, and payment terms. Most importantly, the study has demonstrated that relationship quality has a positive correlation with loyalty among parties in the regional rice supply chain.

The literature addresses the link between command and control environmental regulation and environmental performance. However, there is a lack of attention paid to how environmental strategy plays a mediating role in this relationship. In addition, the environmental research in the context of third-party logistics service providers seems to be underexplored. Thus, through the theoretical lens of institutional theory and contingency theory, this study examines the mediating role of environmental strategy on the relationship command and control environmental regulation and environmental performance. Data were collected from small and medium enterprises operating in the logistics industry of Vietnam and partial least square structural equation modeling was employed to examine the proposed hypotheses. The result indicates the full mediating effects of environmental strategy on the link between command and control environmental regulation and environmental performance. In this regard, this study contributes to growing empirical evidence showing that the link between environmental regulation and environmental performance is indirect through mediators. Besides, this study also extends the current knowledge of environmental strategy pursued by third-party logistics providers.

The objective of the research is to examine the role of Supply Chain Integration (SCI) which consists of; suppliers, customers, and internal integration in building customer loyalty. This study uses data from 308 top managers of Tuna Fillets SMEs Industries in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia as respondents. The research model was analyzed by using PLS-SEM. The research found that SCI had a significant direct effect on operational performance and customer satisfaction. The research also found that operational performance and customer satisfaction had some impacts on increasing loyalty of Tuna Fillets SMEs Industries customers. The results of the analysis also provide information that operational performance and customer satisfaction can be a mediator of the influence of Supply Chain Integration.

The objective of the current study was to examine the role of supply chain and product development in sustainable performance, goodwill and firm popularity. Furthermore, the mediating role of product development was also examined. Population of the study was rubber manufacturing companies of Indonesia. In this regard, data were collected from the employees of rubber making companies of Indonesia. 500 questionnaires were used for data collection among the rubber making companies. Data was analyzed through statistical software. Results of the analysis revealed that the supply chain has a major contribution to sustainable performance, goodwill and firm popularity. Increase in the supply chain of rubber manufacturing companies, increases the sustainable performance, goodwill and firm popularity. Moreover, product development also has important contributions to the sustainable performance, goodwill and firm popularity. Supply chain has a positive effect on product development and product development has a positive effect on sustainable performance, goodwill and firm popularity.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the relationships among the severity of service failure, service recovery, customer satisfaction and loyalty towards the Vietnamese international hospital system. The research data were collected from 303 customers who have used services and experienced service failures at international hospitals. Applying Structural Equation Modeling, the study pointed out that service failure includes three dimensions, which are system failure, request failure, and behavior failure. Meanwhile, service recovery is made up of three dimensions which are distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice. The severity of service failure positively affects service recovery and service recovery puts a powerful impact on customer satisfaction, thereby increasing their trust in international hospitals in Vietnam.

In this study, the way green supply chain management affects green innovation and firm performance was scrutinized. The effect of trust on firm performance was also investigated. A conceptual model was proposed in this study, and it was empirically tested with a survey of 120 Jordanian managers. Green innovation and trust had a significant impact on firm performance, according to the study's findings. On green innovation, green supply chain management was shown to impart a significant impact. However, green supply chain management has little to do with green innovation. Furthermore, green innovation was found to contribute to both green supply chain management and firm performance. Notably, the present study may be skewed and selective because Jordan Industrial Estates has a good environmental rating. Furthermore, as the study was limited to Jordan, one of the major drawbacks is that the findings cannot be generalized.

This empirical study aims to elucidate the effects of logistics information technology (LIT), top management beliefs (TMBs), and suppliers' resources selection (SRS) on logistics performance. The extended resources-based view (ERBV) supports the development of the proposed relationships in the study model, based on previous studies measures. Structural equation modeling (SPSS and AMOS v 25) was utilized to test the validity of the model and proposed hypotheses. Based on responses from 229 surveyed companies in Sudan’s food and beverages sector, this study’ findings showed that the LIT, TMBs, and SRS influence logistic cost performance (LCP) and logistic delivery performance directly. Additionally, it showed that company size could moderate the relationship between LCP and LIT, TMBs, and SRS. This study provides several theoretical and practical implications by evaluating the ability of LIT, SRS, and TMBs to improve delivery and cost performance.

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of internal marketing on the organizational commitment of employees in the retail sector. The method used was a quantitative correlational approach, at an explanatory level with a non-experimental design. The study sample consisted of 392 workers belonging to the retail sector. The results generated by structural equations show that specific relationships have p < 0.05, i.e. all the proposed hypotheses are accepted in the proposed correlation between internal marketing and the three types of organizational commitment, among them the affective commitment, which generates emotional ties between the employee and the organization, feeling proud to remain in the same linking the values and objectives of the same as their own goals, the commitment of permanence, which implies the risks involved in separating from the organization as well as the loss of all the benefits obtained and how these would be difficult to obtain if the employee were to leave the organization. Finally, the normative commitment, which arises when the employee perceives some kind of opportunity or special benefit in the organization, thus generating a bond of moral reciprocity, i.e. a bond of loyalty. The conclusion of the study is that the use of internal marketing for personnel selection is a fundamental tool for achieving acceptable levels of the three types of commitment mentioned above. This ensures the efficiency of the company both internally and externally, with long-term results.
