This study aims to investigate the impact of organizational culture (i.e., rational, hierarchical, and group) on healthcare supply chain resilience (SCR) in Jordan. This paper further examines the moderating role of technology integration on the relationship between organizational culture and healthcare SCR. Cross-sectional research was conducted, and participants were recruited from different hospitals in Jordan. An electronic survey was employed to collect the responses from 304 participants, including senior professionals designated as doctors, nurses, ray technicians, physical therapists, procurement officers, pharmacists, and lab technicians with more than three years of work experience. There was no statistically significant influence of rational culture on healthcare SCR (p-value = 0.156) and an adverse impact of hierarchical culture on healthcare SCR (p-value = 0.030). Group culture had a statistically significant impact on healthcare SCR (p-value = 0.007). Technology integration had an influential moderating influence on the association between rational culture and healthcare SCR (p-value = 0.042) and the association between hierarchical culture and healthcare SCR (p-value = 0.0129). However, technology integration had no moderating influence on the association between group culture and healthcare SCR (p-value = 0.331). The analysis revealed that group culture has an influential impact on healthcare SCR, while hierarchical culture has a negative impact on healthcare SCR. Moreover, technological integration was observed to improve the beneficial influence of rational culture and the negative effects of hierarchical culture on healthcare SCR. However, the technology integration was not observed to moderate the relationship between group culture and healthcare SCR.

Dalia Perkumiene , Agbonmere Osamede , Regina Andriukaitienė , Olegas Beriozovas doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ppm.19(4).2021.37Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 19, 2021 Issue #4 pp. 458-469 Views: 6348 Downloads: 10166 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯIn this present age of globalization, the logistics and transportation industry has become an integral part of most businesses/firms as it is aimed at ensuring the effective movement of people, distribution of goods and services from one location to another on time. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the logistics and transportation sectors. The qualitative research approach was adopted using analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, data from news reports, organizational sites, and a case study of data contents. The paper presented the analysis of negative and positive effects of COVID-19 on the logistics and transportation industry. The study also discusses possible strategies and further steps for improvement of the logistics and transportation sector, including the automation and introduction of other technologies, a sustainable and flexible transportation system, cooperation of logistics and transportation business. Findings regarding the positive implications of COVID-19 show noticeable advancements in the logistics and transportation sector, such as the rise of e-commerce businesses with efficient delivery options, and the development of 3rd party logistics services as more companies outsource supply chain operations. The study revealed the importance of strategic planning with a joint effort from the research centers, public sector, private sector, and educational institutions as one of the proposed solutions for the logistics and transportation industry.

Shaker Al-Qudah , Abdallah Mishael Obeidat , Hosam Shrouf , Mohammed A. Abusweilem doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ppm.18(1).2020.19Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 18, 2020 Issue #1 pp. 219-230 Views: 3164 Downloads: 3258 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯPerformance management (PM) is a common practice used by organizations to assess and manage employees’ work. Much of PM research is closely related to management practices. Corporations in the public and nonprofit sector continuously develop PM programs to ensure the sustainability of their organizations.
The study aims to analyze the impact of strategic human resources planning on the organizational performance of Jordanian public shareholding companies for senior management and functional unit managers (human resources, marketing, finance, and accounting). The researchers surveyed all the public shareholding companies registered with the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC) in 2019, wherein they found that only 60 companies applied strategic planning and human resources planning (HRP) together. Two hundred and twenty questionnaires were distributed in 52 companies surveyed, and 203 were adopted for statistical analysis. Several statistical methods were used, most notably the multiple regression analysis. The researchers found out a statistically significant impact of the strategic human resources planning (integration of HRP and strategic planning; strategic participation) on organizational performance. The results showed that adopting the strategic HRP dimensions leads to an increase in an organization’s overall productivity, employee satisfaction and reputation, as well as reduced operating costs. HR managers must understand the effectiveness of strategically designed HR practices across functions. -
Human resources staffing process and its impact on job involvement: Irbid District Electricity Company as a case study
Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 17, 2019 Issue #2 pp. 254-266 Views: 2732 Downloads: 444 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe study aimed to identify the level of practicing the human resources staffing process and the level of the employees’ job involvement in the Irbid District Electricity Company in Jordan; it also aimed to examine the impact of human resources staffing process on the employees’ job involvement. The study adopted the descriptive, analytical method, since it determines the characteristics of the phenomenon, describes its nature accurately and then determines the quality of the relationship between its variables. The study population included all the individuals in the senior and middle administrative levels by 100 individuals. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers prepared a questionnaire to examine the study variables. One hundred questionnaires were distributed to each manager, deputy manager, and department head in the Irbid District Electricity Company out of which the researchers retrieved 97 questionnaires valid for analysis. In order to analyze the data collected, the study relies on the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) where the descriptive statistics for all the fields of the study were estimated. The correlation matrix was also used to determine the relationship between variables. Furthermore, multiple regressions were used to determine the impact of the independent variable on the dependent variable. The findings showed that the level of practicing the human resources staffing process and the employees’ job involvement at Irbid District Electricity Company (IDECO) was moderate. The findings of the study showed that the process of human resources staffing was positively associated with the job involvement where the Pearson coefficient was r= .851 and at level of significance of 0.00. The research data have also indicated that the human resources staffing process had a positive impact on the employees’ job involvement. The study recommended that the procedures of staffing in all organizations should focus on achieving the fit between the employee and his job through focusing on choosing employees whose knowledge, skills and abilities correspond to the requirements of vacant jobs and also through implementing different tests and selection interviews, which help choose the person whose traits fit the job requirements. The study has also indicated that the recommended organizations should also pay attention to the job design process where the focus is on designing jobs in a way that creates a challenge, and enables employees feel independence and joy during the job; in this method, the employee can be more involved and can work in an effective way.
