Item type:Publication, Analysis of factors affecting project communications with a hybrid DEMATEL-ISM approach (A case study in Iran)(Elsevier, 2020-08-01)Project management; Communications management; Fuzzy DEMATEL; Interpretive structural modeling (ISM); MICMAC Analysis; Construction engineering; Human resource management; Industry management; Business management; Behavioral psychology; Business One of the main factors in the success of projects is communications management and proper and timely distribution of information among all internal and external project stakeholders. Despite of emphasizing on the importance of project communications in the literature, there are few studies identifying factors influencing project communications. This research aims to address this shortcoming by identifying and determining sequences and relationships factors affecting project communications and their clustering. The informed communication strategy allows managers to structure the information flow in a better and more controlled manner and to avoid the costs caused by lack of effective and timely communication. The present study is conducted to help clarify the views of the organization's managers and project managers on project communications, and to identify factors affecting it and how they effectively communicate to successfully accomplish the projects. First a number of factors influencing project communications are identified on the basis of previous studies and interviews with experts and project managers working in oil, gas and power plant construction megaprojects in Iran. Then, these factors are analyzed by using the combination of fuzzy DEMATEL and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) techniques. The relationships and sequence between the indicators are determined so that it can be effective in project communications planning and project success through providing an insight for senior managers and project managers. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A novel prediction model for educational planning of human resources with data mining approach: a national tax administration case study(Springer Science+Business Media, 2021-08-13)Human resources training is considered an effective solution in empowering human resources. Organizations try to have effective educational planning for this precious resource by identifying shortcomings through a need assessment. This study provides a model based on organizational data analysis to achieve a unique and appropriate training planning for each staff. Therefore, job performance, organizational promotion and lay-off have become the basis for staff training planning. For this purpose, the tax assessor’s information was investigated. Then, the CRISP-DM methodology was selected, and the project was implemented. Furthermore, a decision tree model was selected to extract unknown rules and patterns in the educational decision-making staff; the neural network model was selected as the predictive model to predict the target variables. The results revealed the decision tree for predicting job performance variables and organizational promotion status, and the neural network model was more effective in predicting service lay-off variables. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Organizational Culture and Organizational Performance: The Role of Companies of a Developing Economy to the COVID-19 Pandemic(Sage Publications India Pvt. Ltd, 2023-01-01)The study sought to understand the relationship between organizational culture (OC) and organizational performance (OP) and included economic activity as a control variable in large and medium-sized companies in Ecuador. The authors collected data from 342 employees from different hierarchical levels and functional and operational areas of different economic activity through online surveys at two points in time. A descriptive analysis and structural equation modelling were applied. The results revealed that the culture of involvement, consistency and mission significantly explained OC. Of these, the mission was the most important. In addition, the research proposes another dimension called commitment. OP was significant for individual-level performance, group-level performance and job stability. In addition, individual-level performance and job stability were best related to business performance. When the type of economic activity is involved, the culture of involvement and consistency is more significant. The outcomes suggest that all the characteristics of OC and OP ensure the integration of strengthened principles into strategies, which, although unrelated to each other, are good predictors for improving corporate governance. Despite the popularity of studies on OC and OP, this research showed that it is still at an early stage of research in emerging economies. It provides managers with knowledge for effective management of the work environment. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Strategic human resources management in times of economic uncertainty: a lifebuoy for employees?(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026-01-01)Drawing on social exchange and street-level bureaucracy (SLB) theories, the authors of the present paper seek to identify how public banks in Egypt strategically manage their frontline employees to maintain high performance even during periods of economic uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The empirical sample comprises semi-structured interviews with 28 frontline employees working in 4 public banks. The authors used the Gioia mechanism to analyze their data. Findings The authors identified job-related (discretionary power of bank employees, nature of banking jobs and hiring elite individuals for banking jobs); learning-related (continuous learning of bank employees, spread of MBA programs and resilience of bank employees) and context-related categories of factors (career support and more financial rewards during economic uncertainty) that explain the stability of the performance of the frontline bank employees addressed in this study despite the economic uncertainty their country is passing through. Practical implications Given the findings of the present paper, the authors propose that the administration of the addressed banks maintain the policy of providing training opportunities to their employees. However, such training should pay more attention to issues such as crisis management, customer-employee engagement and the mental health of employees during crises, among others. Second, as dissatisfaction is very high with other public sector organizations in Egypt, their top management should try to learn from public banks, follow the best practices and collaborate with them to improve their service offerings to the citizens. Finally, for global financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund who are involved in rescuing Egyptian economy should incorporate strategic human resources management implementation in public sector organizations in their recommendations, along with economic reforms package. Originality/value This paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on strategic human resources management and economic uncertainty in which empirical studies of the association between them, particularly in the context of North African countries such as Egypt, have been limited so far.
