Brian Tavonga Mazorodze — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0700

Purpose: This study examines the impact of export diversification on new business formation.

Design/methodology/approach: Using an instrumental variable approach within a count data framework that relies on a panel dataset of 10 African countries (Algeria, Gabon, Lesotho, Morocco, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia) observed between 2008 and 2018 annually, the evidence shows a non-trivial effect of export diversification on business start-ups. In particular, the odds of a new business being registered increase by 1.7 – 3.5 times in response to a percentage point increase in export diversification.

Findings: This result reinforces the need for supportive policies aimed at moving away from concentrated export baskets towards more diversified ones to leverage entrepreneurial effort in the selected African countries.

Relationship Between Absorptive Capacity and Innovation Ambidexterity: Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Orientation

Rahma HAMDI — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The literature in management sciences highlights the importance of entrepreneurial orientation as a lever to enhance productivity, competitiveness, and strengthen the position of companies. Globally, businesses are increasingly investing in developing their innovation capabilities to meet the demands of the digital economy and the "Smart Life" era. In this context, the absorptive capacity for knowledge, as well as the ambidexterity of exploration and exploitation, play crucial roles. However, current research does not yet clearly specify the causal links between these concepts. This study aims to determine how absorptive capacity influences innovation ambidexterity, considering the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation.
Based on a positivist epistemological approach, this work relies on a literature review and the results of three exploratory studies. This leads to an explanatory model of the relationships between absorptive capacity and innovation ambidexterity, tested on 258 entrepreneurs and project holders in the ICT sector in Tunisia, operating within a "Smart City." The results show that absorptive capacity enhances innovation ambidexterity, with a significant mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation.
Key words: Absorptive capacity, ambidexterity, innovation exploration, innovation exploitation, entrepreneurial orientation.

Purpose: his study aims to analyze the influence of work stress, work motivation, and work environment on the performance of healthcare workers at 24-Hour Non-Inpatient Community Health Centers in Wonocolo District, Surabaya. The study also explores the impact of these three factors on job satisfaction and examines the role of job satisfaction as an intervening variable in the relationship between work stress, work motivation, and work environment on the performance of healthcare workers. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method with 90 healthcare workers as the sample. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, and data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results of the study indicate that out of ten hypotheses tested, three hypotheses were accepted. Work stress has a significant negative effect on healthcare workers' performance (P = 0.000), work motivation has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (P = 0.001), and the work environment has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (P = 0.003). Other hypotheses, such as the direct effects of work stress, work motivation, and work environment on performance and job satisfaction, were rejected as they did not meet the significance threshold of P < 0.05. The limitations of the study include the small sample size and the use of questionnaires, which may be influenced by respondents' subjective bias. Future research is expected to involve a larger sample and additional variables.

Design/methodology/approach: The technique for collecting data involved using questionnaires that were completed through the Saturated Sampling method. These questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 90 healthcare workers at the Community Health Centers in Wonocolo District, Surabaya, and the data was analyzed using the SEM-PLS application.

Findings: The results indicate that work stress negatively affects the performance of healthcare workers. Work motivation does not considerably impact the performance of healthcare workers. Also, the work environment has no major influence on their performance. Work stress does not noticeably affect job satisfaction. On the other hand, work motivation has a positive effect on job satisfaction. What's more, the work environment plays a major role in determining job satisfaction. Job satisfaction, however, does not considerably affect the performance of healthcare workers and does not act as a mediator in the relationship between work stress, work motivation, the work environment, and healthcare worker performance.

Originality/value: This study contributes to understanding the factors influencing healthcare worker performance at the Surabaya Regional Health Laboratory. It highlights that while work stress negatively impacts performance, work motivation positively affects job satisfaction, and the work environment significantly influences job satisfaction. However, job satisfaction does not substantially impact performance and does not mediate the relationships between work stress, work motivation, the work environment, and performance. This insight emphasizes the need for targeted strategies to address work stress and motivation to enhance employee outcomes.

Road construction is very much needed in an effort to improve the regional economy, open access to the distribution of goods/services & people as well as in regional development efforts. This activity requires technical and economic planning to ensure that the activity is feasible to carry out. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of the economic feasibility of constructing the Tanjung Keramat (HM. Agus) road in East Kutai Regency. This analysis uses the compound interest calculation method, Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). The results obtained from the BOQ and RAB calculations showed that the total construction costs were Rp. 46,600,000,000.00. The results of the present value calculation over a 20 year life of construction costs + routine & periodic maintenance costs are Rp. 65,677,946,740.00. The results of calculating the benefits of Vehicle Operational Costs (BOK) for BENEFITS' current value are IDR 276,921,095,567.00. The results of the economic feasibility are declared "WORTH IT" to run because the results of the calculation of the NPV value are IDR 276,921,095,567.00 > than 1 and the BCR value is 4.22 > 1 NVP>1 so that the investment in road construction is a "WORTH IT" investment to carry out.
