The role of competitiveness as mediating effect of environmental uncertainty on performance of fisheries companies

“…Therefore, the results of this study show a significant positive effect between competitiveness and the performance of fishing companies. The identification of these influences is consistent with the research findings (Anwar et al, 2018;Bernal-Conesa et al, 2017;Cantele & Cassia, 2020;Famiyeh, 2017;Kiyabo & Isaga, 2019;Potjanajaruwit, 2018;Priyanka et al, 2017;Rua et al, 2018;Saeidi et al, 2015;Sigalas & Papadakis, 2018;Yuniarta et al, 2020). However, the results of this study are contradictory with Astuti et al (2018); Bagur-Femenías et al (2015) who found that competitiveness has no significant effect on firm performance.…”

“…Competitiveness is believed to be a driving force for growth and a tool for assessing the success of companies in various industrial sectors because competitiveness has been significantly proven to be a determining factor for economic growth and development. Furthermore, the current research seeks to explain that company performance cannot be increased directly from environmental uncertainty (Cantele & Cassia, 2020;Junquera & Barba-Sánchez, 2018;Priyanka et al, 2017;Yuniarta et al, 2020), however through the role of competitiveness. From several studies, for example Bagur-Femenías et al (2015); Harash (2015) found the effect of environmental uncertainty on firm performance is significantly mediated by competitiveness.…”

“…Company competitiveness is measured by five indicators, namely: (1) price competitiveness, (2) production quality, (3) delivery reliability, (4) production innovation competitiveness; and (5) time-to-market competitiveness developed from previous research (Astuti et al, 2018;Cantele & Cassia, 2020;Hadj, 2020;Salem, 2019;Yuniarta et al, 2020). Furthermore, for the performance of fishing companies in this study, the measurement is adopted from Kaplan (2009) which develops a comprehensive measure of the company's performance success through a balanced scorecard with four perspectives, namely: (1) a financial perspective; (2) customer perspective; (3) internal business process perspective; and (4) the perspective of growth and learning, which has also been used by previous researchers such as (Gupta & Gupta, 2020;Hamid, 2018;Hoang, 2018;Khalid et al, 2019).…”

Competency and Work Satisfaction, and Its Implications on Employee Performance National Land Agency of the Republic Of Indonesia

“…Second, competence. Previous research has shown that competence influences employee performance [49][50] [51]. This is as seen in studies conducted by Although many studies have supported the assumption that if employees already have a sense of satisfaction at work it will create productive human resources that can improve the performance of these employees, theoretically there is still the very little relationship between competence and job satisfaction with employee performance.…”
