Abstract A structural model incorporating agile manufacturing as the focal construct is theorized and tested. The includes primary components of JIT (JIT‐purchasing JIT‐production) antecedents operational performance firm consequences to manufacturing. Using data collected from production operations managers working for large U.S. manufacturers, assessed following a equation modeling methodology. results indicate that JIT‐purchasing has direct positive relationship with while between...

Purpose The paper's aim is to theorize and assess a logistics performance model incorporating as the focal construct with supply chain management strategy antecedent organizational performance, both marketing financial, consequences. Design/methodology/approach Data from national sample of 142 plant operations managers are analyzed using structural equation modeling methodology. Findings results indicate that positively impacted by impact which in turn impacts financial performance. Neither...

Purpose In 2004 Lee proposed that successful supply chains must be agile, adaptable, and aligned described those as “Triple‐A” chains. The purpose of this paper is to theorize a Triple‐A chain performance model incorporates status antecedent organizational performance. Design/methodology/approach Using data from national sample 132 professionals collected in partnership with APICS, the authors develop scales based on descriptive items listed by for strategy dimensions agility, adaptability,...

This research examines the crossover effect of supervisors’ work—family enrichment on subordinates’ and job performance. Drawing broaden build theory Westman’s work, authors posit that leads to creation a family-friendly work environment, which in turn promotes subordinate work-to-family subsequent Subordinate perceptions schedule control family-supportive organization are used operationalize environment because immediate supervisors frequently key gatekeepers setting these organizational...

ABSTRACT Whereas the decision to outsource information systems (IS) has been an important focus in IS research and practice, switch vendors or backsource received little attention. Evidence suggests that however, is becoming increasingly common as firms vie for ways continue cut technology (IT) costs improve IT service levels. This specifically examines factors associated with vendors. Based on a sample of 160 managers involved application development, we compare contrast perceptions those...

Based on affective events theory (AET), we hypothesize a four-step model of the mediating mechanisms positive mood and job satisfaction in relationship between work-family enrichment performance. We test this for both directions (work-to-family family-to-work). used two samples to using structural equation modeling. Results from Study 1, which included 240 full-time employees, were replicated 2, 189 matched subordinate-supervisor dyads. For work-to-family direction, results support our...

The aim of this study is to determine a set skills needed for Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in competitive business today. To end, review the literature and IT security executive interviews were conducted identify relevant skills. This list was then compared job listings CISOs. Ultimately, developed that organizations can use when defining CISO position seeking new

We examined the use of a mobile device for work during family time (mWork) to determine role that it plays in employee turnover intentions. Using sample 344 job incumbents and their spouses, we propose systems model examine 2 paths through which expect mWork relate intentions: incumbent spouse. From incumbent, found incumbent's associated with greater work-to-family conflict burnout, lower organizational commitment. spouse, increased resentment by spouse spousal commitment organization. Both...

Using spillover and crossover theory, we examined how subordinate's experience of abusive supervision impacts both partner's family domains. Specifically, a model was proposed tested that the fallout from through 2 types strain, work‐to‐family conflict relationship tension, on satisfaction subordinate functioning partner. matched set 280 subordinates partners, this study found contributes to tension. Further, for partner were diminished Interestingly, although contributed it did not directly...

Previous research has been inconsistent in the prediction and empirical findings regarding work–family enrichment satisfaction. The current seeks to clarify this inconsistency by examining both directions of (work-to-family family-to-work enrichment) with job satisfaction family determine if their effects are similar or diverse. Building on theoretical foundation Fredrickson’s broaden-and-build theory, authors explore mediating roles psychological distress positive mood process. Using a...

The stream of research concerning work-family enrichment has generated a significant body because it plays an important role in occupational health (Masuda, McNall, Allen, & Nicklin, 2012). been defined as "the extent to which experiences one improve the quality life other role" (Greenhaus Powell, 2006, p. 73). Within enrichment, there are two directions: work family and work. Carlson, Kacmar, Wayne, Grzywacz (2006) developed 18-item scale measure this construct. Although shown be both...

A national survey of firms that participated in outsourcing relationships was conducted, and service quality relationship were found to be significantly positively related each other both had a significant impact on user satisfaction. However, the intricacies causal effects between two autonomous constructs, quality, are source interest. In post-analysis theory building, we give conceptual model proposes positive effect would moderated by client orientation promotion effectiveness vendor,...

The impact of strategic human resource management (SHRM) on organizational performance is assessed. Additionally, the a SHRM approach individual performance, commitment and job satisfaction levels professionals investigated. An organization exhibits when resources function vertically aligned with mission objectives horizontally integrated other functions. Data from national sample 269 large US manufacturing firms were analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques. Results indicate...

Despite the fact that over half of U.S. residents are now online, Internet users hesitate to enter into transactions with e-retailers in absence certain assurances. Recent IS research shows institution-based assurance structures, such as Web seals, drivers online trust. We extend trust include effect third-party organization (TPO) credibility on both users’ perceptions structures and purchase risk. Findings indicate TPO is positively related value assign negatively Furthermore, strongly...

The use of mobile technology for work purposes during family time has been found to affect employees' and lives. Using a matched sample 344 job incumbents their spouses, we examined the role device (MD) in incumbent-spouse relationship how this MD crosses over spouse's life. Integrating work-home resources model with systems theory, that as engage time, work-to-family conflict increases, does combined experience tension between spouses. This serves crossover mechanism, which then contributes...

We use broaden and build theory (Fredrickson, 1998; 2001) to examine the relationship between work-family balance organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), extent which these relationships are mediated by positive affect. Using a sample of 205 supervisor-subordinate dyads, we found that subordinate predicted supervisors’ appraisals subordinate’s engagement in both organization individual OCB was fully affect rated subordinate. Additionally, held when measured supervisor.
