“…This supports assumption that HRM has a direct effect on performance but its influence is greater when HRM adopts a strategic perspective (Gao et al, 2016). HR managers will be asked to choose the best practices following the suggestions of the People criterion of the EFQM model, in order to improve results.…”

“…"Excellence is to carry out a leadership with vision capability that serves as inspiration for others and that is coherent in the whole organization" (EFQM, 2013). Since Lowe, Kroeck, and Sivasubramaniam (1996) and Doeleman, ten Have, and Ahaus 2012 For all these reasons, it could be expected that: The new perspective on HRM suggests that people management directly influences the implementation of strategic organizational targets and operations (Bonavia & Marin-Garcia, 2011) contributing to improve organizational efficiency (Gao, Zhou, & Wu, 2016). SHRM can be defined as the pattern of planned human resource development and activities intended to enable an organization to achieve its goals (Knies, Boselie, Gould-Williams, & Vandenabeele, 2017;P.M.…”

Despite the growing attention that human resources have received in the management literature, the strategic role of the HR function is still being questioned. The main target of this paper is to determine whether firms that follow the strategy, leadership and personnel suggestions proposed by the EFQM Model contributes to improve organizational performance, and also determining if the strategic management of human resources plays a mediating effect between the personnel management and the results of the company. The study was performed using a questionnaire on a sample of 200 mediumsized industrial Spanish firms, and employing Structural Equations Modelling methodology. Our findings suggest that, under the EFQM Model, the influence of both leadership and strategy on people allows organizations to improve their performance. Moreover, a strategic approach in the management of human resources helps to enhance the contribution of personnel in the results of the company. This fact had not been broadly studied in prior literature and, moreover, it has not been found any joint framework linking leadership, strategy, personnel, strategic human resource management and performance in QM organizations. This study helps managers to identify what types of strategy and relationships with their staff can be most effective in improving the company's results. At the same time, it is a stimulus for the personnel directors who defend a strategic approach to the human resources function in their companies.

“…Previously, some scholars studied strategic flexibility as a significant factor affecting firm performance (Awais et al, 2023;Gorondutse et al, 2021). Some studied it as a mediator for certain relationships (Jian et al, 2023;Sen et al, 2023). Certain past researches also studied moderating influence of strategic flexibility for certain relationships (Baikuni et al, 2023;Kamasak et al, 2017).…”

Transformational leadership is believed to be crucial factor behind an organization’s success. Studies have been conducted on leaders’ transformational leadership style, but there has been limited research on transformational leadership climate (TLC) in an organization and its effect on new product development process (NPDP) and business sustainability (BS). This study fulfills this gap and it also contributes to the literature by testing the moderating role of strategic flexibility (SF) between TLC and NPDP & BS. The study draws its hypothesis on the basis of contingency theory, upper echelons theory and transformational leadership theory. The authors collected the data from the top managers of private educational institutes affiliated with BISE Multan and used SmartPLS for analyses of data. Based on the analyses of 145 questionnaires, we report that TLC enhances NPDP and BS whereas SF has a significant moderation impact on the relationship between TLC and BS. For the educational institutes, we suggest top management to acknowledge and implement TLC in their organizations for sustaining their performance and for successful launching of new programs/services. Additionally, the importance of resource and coordination flexibility is emphasized for sustainability.
