, Available Online: January, 2025 Oswin Newton Kakumanu PDF (650K) |

Abstract: This study examines the impact of organizational culture on the effectiveness of Project Portfolio Management (PPM) practices. Organizational culture influences employee behavior and their way of working by providing a conducive work environment. Thus, managers are able to delegate better while ensuring a balanced workload, collaborative team efforts, and prudent resource allocation to achieve desired project portfolio deliverables. By shaping practices and values, a supportive culture enables efficient task performance, effective delegation, teamwork, and resource allocation toward project goals. Conducted with 35 individuals in a healthcare organization’s data and digital unit in New Zealand, the study used convenience sampling and email surveys. Regression analysis was performed in IBM SPSS Statistics to test the research hypothesis. Findings suggest that supportive organizational culture significantly enhances PPM execution and informs policy-making for improved PPM practices. This study facilitates directors, strategists, and managers in taking steps to form a culture that ensures effective execution of PPM practices to achieve better results. Future research could explore this topic with larger samples and alternative methodologies to deepen insights into culture’s role in PPM effectiveness.

The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cronbach Alpha results revealed that effective communication was the strongest competency, explaining 71.6% of the variance, followed by leadership (65.3%) and teamwork (60.6%). Self-control demonstrated the highest reliability (α = 0.966), emphasizing students’ ability to manage stress effectively. Conflict management explained 48.9% of the variance, while adaptability accounted for 57.4%, reflecting students’ resilience and flexibility. Cognitive skills explained 51.7%, highlighting critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Negotiation explained 63.8%, emphasizing stakeholder collaboration, and social awareness accounted for 50.1%, reflecting cultural sensitivity and empathy.

Corporate social responsibility and its role in the impact of marketing tools on strategic marketing
, Available Online: January, 2025 Ahmad Saleh Altwaijri PDF (650K) |
||
Abstract: This paper aims to examine the role of CSR in the impact of two marketing tools (social media and CRM) on two dimensions of strategic marketing (innovation orientation and marketing capabilities). Gathering data from a sample of managers and employees in service firms using a questionnaire, it was found that both marketing capabilities and innovation orientation are positively related to social media and CRM. However, CSR mediates only the impact of social media on marketing capabilities and the impact of CRM on marketing capabilities. There was no significant mediating role of CSR in the effect of CRM or social media on innovation orientation. Furthermore, the study revealed that CSR did not moderate the effect of social media and CRM on innovation orientation and marketing capabilities. Such results contribute to marketing literature through answering an important question: does CSR mediate or moderate the effect of social media and CRM on innovation orientation and marketing capabilities. Moreover, this study suggests that CSR is a crucial mechanism for developing marketing capabilities and at the same time CSR is not a pivotal prerequisite for the impact of marketing tools on strategic marketing to occur.

Abstract: Indonesia's economic growth has been steady at 5% in recent years, supported by the development of the real sector, and market demand for property needs has also increased. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the property industry sector absorbed 4,373,950 workers or 4.6% of the total workforce in Indonesia. It contributed significantly to the country's economic growth in the national GDP. This research will test whether, if companies can increase the value of their investments, their performance will improve, supported by the solution variables: Property Management, Quality Project Management, Digital Innovation, and the factor of Environmental Dynamism, to strengthen the statement of the impact of Value Investing on firm performance. This study employs SEM-PLS version 3 software to measure the variables used. The sample consists of the largest property companies in Indonesia listed on the IDX over five years (2018-2022) with the criteria of having more than 10 entities. The research results were obtained using a questionnaire (survey). An interesting finding from this research is that environmental dynamism has no moderating effect on value investing on company performance. Good environmental dynamism cannot increase or decrease value investing to improve company performance. The influence of investment value on company performance does not only depend on its intrinsic principles but is also influenced by environmental dynamics.

, Available Online: December, 2024 Nugrahini Susantinah Wisnujati,Amanatuz Zuhriyah, Suwandi S. Sangadji and Suhardi PDF (650K) |

Abstract: This study examines the factors influencing the performance of food estate projects in Indonesia, focusing on the roles of leadership, stakeholder engagement, institutional support, and project communication. A positivist research paradigm was adopted, employing a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) to test the hypotheses and analyze the relationships between these variables. The study found that leadership significantly impacts project performance, particularly through its influence on project communication, which serves as a key mediator. While stakeholder engagement did not show a direct significant relationship with project communication, its role in fostering trust, reducing resistance, and ensuring stakeholder needs are met is crucial for overall project success. Institutional support directly contributes to project performance by providing resources, supportive policies, and technical assistance, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of project communication. Project communication, as a mediator, integrates leadership, stakeholder engagement, and institutional support to drive successful project outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of transformational leadership, effective communication, and institutional support in improving food estate project performance in Indonesia. The results offer valuable insights for practitioners and policymakers aiming to enhance project outcomes through strategic management practices.
