The world is changing its impression of working methodologies. Development in each field of life has changed the association as well as the individual's way of life, conduct, and working environment. For this reason, the organizational climate has become a hot topic and is considered a primary influence in increasing employee abilities that further increase an organization’s overall performance. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between organizational climate and psychological capital with the moderating role of innovative organizational culture. For this purpose, data were collected from 232 faculty members in full-time jobs at the leading university (Jouf University) in Saudi Arabia. SEM was applied to test the hypotheses. This study found that organizational climate positively impacts psychological capital, while innovative organizational culture is a significant moderator that builds the association between organizational climate and psychological capital. This study concluded that organizational climate is an imperative factor that enhances psychological capital, as psychological capital has an inordinate impact on the worker’s attitude, behavior, and performance, which is necessary for overall organizational performance. Hence, this study has theoretical and practical implications and leads the way for future exploration, such as in the context of higher educational institutions. It is explained that a healthy climate positively influences the psychological capital of faculty members, enhancing the work performed and the organization itself.

Service quality, customers’ satisfaction, and profitability: an empirical study of Saudi Arabian insurance sector
Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 15, 2018 Issue #2 pp. 232-247 Views: 3418 Downloads: 571 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯFinancial performance is the fundamental aspect to test the performance of the companies. The performance of insurance sector, like any other service industry, is supposed to depend significantly on customers. When it comes to customers, it is an established fact that customer satisfaction would be an important element. Customer satisfaction primarily depends on the quality of service it gets. It can be safely hypothesized that better service quality would lead to higher satisfaction, which would ultimately lead to higher profits for the company. Studies on this relationship in the insurance sector for Saudi Arabia are missing. Hence, this study aims at studying both the profitability of companies and quality of service and tries to relate it to customer satisfaction. The results are quite surprising, as the study establishes that although the qualities of services are found wanting in many areas, companies are earning good profits. A probable reason could be the statutory nature of the services. Nevertheless, this study recommends improving the quality of services and differentiating services between age groups for further improvement.

The impact of organizational culture on job performance: a study of Saudi Arabian public sector work culture
Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 16, 2018 Issue #3 pp. 207-218 Views: 3011 Downloads: 1188 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis research aims to assess direct and indirect influences of organizational culture on job performance, as well as to evaluate the impact of each sub-element of organizational culture on such performance. It is argued that employees performance derives, on the one hand, from a long-term perspective related to changes that organizations manage and implement during their process of growth. A second dimension of organizational culture can be given through organizational values, routines and distinctive aspects of culture that allow organizations to create solid competitive advantages. Since most studies in this field were held in Western work cultures, this paper will be devoted to the analysis of this relationship within an Arabic cultural environment and more specifically within a Saudi context. A quantitative study tool, based on a comprehensive research questionnaire, was used and the sample was selected from various government departments being operative in Alkharj. The findings indicate a positive relationship between organizational culture and job performance. Likewise, four organizational culture sub-elements, namely Managing Change, Achieving Goals, Coordinating Teamwork and Cultural Strength, were found affecting positively on job performance, but with varying and distinct intensity. Only Customer Orientation was found negatively associated with job performance.

Travel and tourism: growth potentials and contribution to the GDP of Saudi Arabia
Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 16, 2018 Issue #1 pp. 417-427 Views: 2331 Downloads: 395 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯSaudi Arabia is well known in the world for the holy places Makkah and Madinah. Hajjis and visitors come to perform hajj and Umrah every year in Makkah and Madinah from all around the world. Hajj and Umrah visits play a vital role in the inbound tourism of Saudi Arabia. The tourism revenue of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is increasing absolutely but losing its contribution to the GDP proportionately. So, this paper tries to find out the economic activities of all components of tourism sector which are responsible for the negative trend. It also explains the relationships and variability of tourism revenues and expenditures with GDP and offers suggestions to enhance revenue of tourism sector. This study is based upon secondary data obtained from the website of SAMA (Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority) and General Authority for Statistics of Saudi Arabia. In tourism sector of Saudi Arabia, the increasing trend of expenditures of some economic activities is more than its revenue. The increasing trend of expenditures comparatively its revenues lowering contribution of tourism towards GDP. To improve the level of tourism revenue, government has to provide world class facilities and develop new tourist spots and allow the visitors to visit such places according to the Shariah and Kingdom rules. Government has to focus on developing passenger rail transport and other means of transport to connect all the tourist spots to provide easy conveyance, and on improving and developing tourism sector by helping the government and private organizations that are engaged directly or indirectly in providing services to the domestic and inbound tourists to assure more contribution to GDP.
