“…(2) exploring a phenomenon to determine what is happening, that is, seeking to identify connections between events and processes over time; (3) explaining a phenomenon, to seek causal explanations of events and processes as they change over time; and (4) improving the phenomenon, that is, looking for ways to improve some aspect of the phenomenon under study. As the present study aims to explore KIX's sustainable water management over the period 2002-2016, it utilized the second type of longitudinal study approach as it sought to determine what was happening with the airport's sustainable water usage and systems [48].…”

Airports are an essential infrastructure to facilitate aviation. The substantial growth of aviation has led to a significant increase in water usage by airports. Airports also generate large volumes of wastewater that may include contaminants. Hence, understanding sustainable water management practices is essential in the aviation industry. In this study, an exploratory research design was utilized in the examination of the sustainable water management strategies and systems at Kansai International Airport from 2002 to 2016. The qualitative data were examined using document analysis as part of a case study. The quantitative data were analyzed using regression analysis as part of a longitudinal study. The airport has been able to reduce the total water consumption, water consumption per passenger, and water consumption per aircraft movement, even with increased traffic in recent years. The airport sources water from the municipal authorities and reclaims water for non-potable water uses. The airport conducts regular water quality tests which measure the Chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and total phosphates. The airport’s onsite wastewater processing centre processes all wastewaters, which discharges non-reclaimed water into Osaka Bay. With a decrease in water consumption, there has similarly been a decrease in the need to treat wastewater, while the reclaimed water ratio has increased over the period of the study.

Quality improvement of healthcare institutions has become increasingly important these past decades, mainly due to demographic developments. At the same time the sector is suffering from political and budgetary pressures which makes quality improvement a tall order. As a result, healthcare institutions have been searching for frameworks which can help them in difficult circumstance to improve their quality by increasing their dynamic capabilities and organisational competencies. This research set out to identify such a framework. On the basis of a review of the extant literature the HPO Framework was chosen and subsequently applied at three Dutch nursing home care institutions. In a period of three years the HPO Diagnosis was performed at the three institutions. This yielded information on their status on the way to high performance and attention points which they needed to address to help them further along their journey. Based on an analysis of the transformation process, the experiences and lessons learned from each institution were identified and summarised. All institutions had made progress and achieved better organisational results because of the application of the HPO Framework.

“…These studies showed that: the framework is applicable in different cultural settings (de Waal and Frijns, 2009; de Waal et al , 2014a, 2014b. Honyenuga et al , 2014; de Waal et al , 2016; de Waal and Wang, 2017); there is causality between using the HPO framework and achieving increased organisational performance (de Waal and Goedegebuure, 2017); and organisations that apply it in a disciplined manner are indeed able to increase their performance (de Waal and Chachage, 2011; de Waal et al , 2015; de Waal, 2017a, 2017b; de Waal and Mulimbika, 2017; de Waal and de Haas, 2018). …”

Purpose Ever since Portugal joined the European Union, Portuguese organisations have been struggling with both the challenges of new competitors flooding in from other European countries and taking advantage of the opportunities the new enlarged integrated market offered them. This is because Portuguese companies have in general low average rates of productivity growth while they lack techniques to improve not only these rates but also overall organisational performance. The purpose of this paper is to discuss whether the high-performance organisation (HPO) framework, a holistic improvement technique developed on the basis of worldwide data, is valid for the Portuguese context and therefore can support Portuguese organisations in their efforts to achieve better performance. Design/methodology/approach Managers in Portuguese organisations, which were found in the Spain balance sheet analysis system database, were approached to fill in the HPO questionnaire on their company. In total, data was received from 163 organisations. This data was subsequently statistically analysed using a confirmatory factor analysis. Findings The study shows that the 35 items of the HPO framework are valid for the participating Portuguese organisations and as such form a reliable HPO framework for these organisations. Thus, the HPO framework can be reliably applied at Portuguese organisations to evaluate their current level of organisational performance and to propose recommendations to improve performance. Originality/value This research study fills the gap of the currently rather limited literature on the application of holistic and effective improvement techniques in Portugal, and as such future researchers can use the framework to conduct a more in-depth study of performance gains in the Portuguese context. Portuguese managers now have at their disposal a holistic improvement technique validated for their context, so they can use the HPO framework with confidence to start improving their own organisations.
