Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of human resource (HR) management practices on achieving competitive advantage through studying the mediating role of employee satisfaction in the context of five-star hotels in Northern Cyprus.

Design/methodology/approach

To produce numeric data as well as to test the hypothesis, the researchers employed structural equation modeling and AMOS. The testing included (n=439) questionnaires. The model suggested by the authors examined the tourism sector, and in particular, five-star hotels located in Northern Cyprus.

Findings

The main research findings revealed that HR practices had a significant effect on competitive advantage. By comparison, the research findings revealed that the mediator variable had no effect on achieving competitive advantage for five-star hotels in Northern Cyprus.

Originality/value

This study demonstrates originality by responding to the recommendations of prior studies conducted on HR in Northern Cyprus Island. This makes a theoretical contribution to the field, since only Turkey recognizes Northern Cyprus, which makes conducting research on this country a challenge for researchers worldwide. Based on this study’s outcomes, this paper discusses its theoretical and practical implications, as well as recommendations for future research.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of effective enterprise resource planning (ERP) system utilization on enterprise economic sustainability through product life cycle cost control.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected from key stakeholders in Jordanian industrial firms. These stakeholders included company managers, production managers, accounting heads and cost accounting staff. A comprehensive questionnaire was developed to gather their insights, ensuring a thorough understanding of their perspectives on the relationship between ERP systems, cost management and sustainability.

Findings

The study revealed that the effective use of ERP systems positively impacted the control of product life cycle costing, which in turn positively influenced the economic sustainability of enterprises in the Jordanian industrial sector. The study’s outcomes underscore the significance of investing in employee training to optimize the use of ERP systems and improve overall organizational performance.

Practical implications

The study offers insights for managers and policymakers in the Jordanian industrial sector, highlighting the importance of effectively implementing and utilizing ERP systems to control product life cycle costs and enhance economic sustainability.

Originality/value

This study contributes significantly to the existing literature by delving into the effects of effective ERP system utilization on enterprise economic sustainability through product life cycle cost control – an area that has not been extensively studied.

Abstract

Purpose

The teaching of cooking is an important aspect of school-based efforts to promote healthy diets among children, and is frequently done by external agencies. Within a limited evidence base relating to cooking interventions in schools, there are important questions about how interventions are integrated within school settings. The purpose of this paper is to examine how a mobile classroom (Cooking Bus) sought to strengthen connections between schools and cooking, and drawing on the concept of the sociotechnical network, theorise the interactions between the Bus and school contexts.

Design/methodology/approach

Methods comprised a postal questionnaire to 76 schools which had received a Bus visit, and case studies of the Bus’ work in five schools, including a range of school sizes and urban/rural locations. Case studies comprised observation of Cooking Bus sessions, and interviews with school staff.

Findings

The Cooking Bus forged connections with schools through aligning intervention and schools’ goals, focussing on pupils’ cooking skills, training teachers and contributing to schools’ existing cooking-related activities. The Bus expanded its sociotechnical network through post-visit integration of cooking activities within schools, particularly teachers’ use of intervention cooking kits.

Research limitations/implications

The paper highlights the need for research on the long-term impacts of school cooking interventions, and better understanding of the interaction between interventions and school contexts.

Originality/value

This paper adds to the limited evidence base on school-based cooking interventions by theorising how cooking interventions relate to school settings, and how they may achieve integration.
