Moreover, we seek to investigate boycott attitudes, religiosity, ethnocentrism, and patriotism as drivers of consumer animosity and reluctance to purchase halal products. Consumer animosity toward halal products has received some attention in marketing research, and we aim to further explore animosity regarding the halal label. We collect online survey responses from 512 Indian consumers and analyze the data using SmartPLS3 software. Findings show a positive impact of boycott attitude, religiosity, and ethnocentrism on Indian consumers’ level of animosity and thus their unwillingness to purchase halal products. Furthermore, consumer animosity acts as a mediator of the relationship between boycott attitude, religiosity, ethnocentrism, patriotism, and reluctance to buy halal products. Notably, the findings pro...

In this inductive case study of a sustainable mobility provider, we conducted a three-level coding procedure. We found evidence for two moderators-innovative behavior at the individual level and team psychological empowerment at the team level-to propose the conceptual model of their interplay with regard to predicting organizational learning. Based on these findings, we developed a conceptual model of the cross-level interplay between organizational design and the moderating role of innovative behavior and team psychological empowerment in stimulating organizational learning. Specifically, we found support for three facets of innovative behavior-idea generation, idea promotion, and idea implementation at the individual level. In addition, we identified four facets of team psychological empowerment at the team-level-team potency, team meaningfulness, team autonomy, and team impactwhich act as moderating mechanisms in predicting organizational learning.

Therefore, this study has examined the impact of digital transformation on competitive advantage and the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation. Innovation capability is considered a moderator between digital transformation and competitive advantage. The data for the research were gathered from service companies in Jordan, and AMOS was utilized for the analysis. The results revealed that digital transformation not only influences competitive advantage but also affects entrepreneurial orientation. Entrepreneurial orientation significantly mediates the relationship between digital transformation and competitive advantage. In addition, innovation capabilities moderate the relationship between digital transformation, competitive advantage, and entrepreneurial orientation. Innovation, production, and operational managers as well a...

A cross sectional survey was employed rather than in depth, case study type analysis. Single respondents, rather than multiple respondents, participated in the study for each company. This is the first study of the use of strategic planning tools and techniques in Jordan and one of the first in the Middle East as a whole. • The main findings of this research are that the most used techniques by Jordanian companies are financial analysis (for own business), PEST or STEP analysis, Porter's five-forces analysis and analysis of key (critical) success factors; that the managers of these companies have an awareness of most of the techniques surveyed; and that the use of strategy tools and techniques relates more to the size of company and less to the age and nature of business.

Social commerce facilitates online interactions and user contributions to assist them in conducting commercial transactions. In this paper, we explore and identify factors that affect the intention to adopt social commerce. This study develops a comprehensive social commerce framework that has five key variables: Reviews and recommendations on social networking sites, customer ratings on social networking sites, trust on social networking sites, brand familiarity, and social commerce platform familiarity. Data were obtained from a survey of 310 consumers and were analyzed using Partial Least Squares PLS. The results indicate that reviews and recommendations on social networking sites, customer ratings on social networking sites, trust on social networking sites, and brand familiarity have a positive and direct influence on social commerce intention, while social commerce pl...

Modern managerial accounting techniques come to embody these strategies. This study examines the impact of adopting competitive strategies on the use of modern managerial accounting techniques in Jordanian public industrial companies (hereafter referred to as JPIC). This is one of the first studies to examine such questions. Data were collected via a survey of all 95 JPIC. A questionnaire survey of these firms yielded fifty-two companies. The results of multiple regression showed that: a cost leadership strategy had a significant impact on the use of activitybased costing, business process re-engineering and benchmarking; and a differentiation strategy had a significant impact on the use of ...

These factors were identified via extensive literature review and through descriptive and inferential statistics. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 310 respondents, where the majority (48%) were middle-level managers followed by first-line managers and top-level managers, who accounted for 42 and 10%, respectively. All managers had taken part in identifying knowledge, sharing knowledge, and using knowledge. The findings highlighted that organization, organizational leadership, information technology infrastructure, and human resource management practice significantly affect knowledge management. Further structure equation modeling showed that organizational leadership significantly affects the organizational structure, which significantly affects knowledge management. Organizational leadership significantly affects information technology ...

Therefore, the researchers should also focus on their organizational behavior issues or the managerial and environmental issues that affect their employees' commitment. This research aims to examine the impact of responsible leadership on the affective commitment of staff working in small and medium enterprises of Jordan; this relation was also analyzed with mediating role of employee turnover intention and moderating role of the work environment. The study's more concern was on manufacturing SMEs and, thus, data were collected from employees working in these SMEs. AMOS analyzed this gathered data, and results accepted all the hypothesis which were developed by study. The research highlighted that affective commitment depends upon responsible leadership, and this relation can be strengthened if the work environment provided to employees is better. If employees do not have the turnover intention...

Organisational size, age and sector are all factors which have been found to influence the adoption and practice of strategic planning in developed economies. Three hypotheses are generated concerning the relationship between these variables and the extent of the practice of strategic planning in Jordanian publicly quoted companies. The population of the research is 203 companies registered on the Amman Stock Exchange. These companies contributed more than 75% of Jordan’s GDP. The companies were located in the financial, industrial and service sectors. A questionnaire survey of these companies yielded a 41 per cent response rate. The results of the survey provide a rich source of data in relation to the practice of strategic planning in Jordanian publicly quoted companies. Key findings are that company size is a significant influence on the pra...

It also aims to make a comparison between “high success” firms and less successful firms in order to find out whether there are any differences in their experience of these problems. A cross sectional survey, employing a questionnaire as the data collection method, was adopted. The empirical research was conducted by delivering by hand the questionnaires to all Jordanian publicly quoted industrial firms (hereafter referred to as Jordanian industrial firms). The main findings of this research are that the Jordanian industrial firms experienced all the major strategy implementation problems which have been identified in earlier literature; that the “high success” group experienced strategy implementation problems less often than the “low success” group; and that formal strategic planning helped firms to deal with these problems.

Design/Methodology/Approach: A review of the literature relating to both strategic planning and strategic planning implementation in both developed and less developed countries is provided. The empirical research was conducted via a questionnaire survey of Jordanian publicly quoted companies in the financial, service and industrial sectors. Findings: The main findings of this research are that the implementation problems which were identified in earlier studies were experienced by Jordanian companies but that these problems were not noticeably affected by organisational size or age or by sector. Research limitations: The research and its results focus on “what” and “how”, rather than “why”, questions. Multiple participant, face to face interviews should be used in a subsequent study to explore the latter. Practical Implications: The resul...

This study investigated the role of formal strategic planning on organizational performance. Moreover, this relation is explored further with the moderation of stakeholders’ involvement. The empirical data were collected from 220 chief executives or general managers of manufacturing companies using a questionnaire survey. AMOS software was used to analyze the collected data. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test the hypothesis, and moderation was investigated using a slop test. The results of the study revealed that formal strategic planning could enhance the performance of the organization. Furthermore, the results highlighted that stakeholder's involvement could strengthen the relationship between formal strategic planning and organizational performance. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of overall strategic management in enhancing an organization'...
