The Impact of the Organizational Culture on Hotel Outsourcing and Sustainable Performance an Empirical Application in the Egyptian Hotel Sector

Abstract

In recent years, the concept of an organizational culture in hotels has held an important position on both a theoretical and practical level because this culture significantly affects organizational performance and the strategies adopted by hotels. Therefore, it is considered one of the key factors in determining hotels’ tendency towards outsourcing and sustainable performance. In this study, we aim to analyze the impact of the organizational culture on the level of outsourcing and sustainable performance. To do so, we will use the Competing Values Framework (CVF), which divides organizational culture into four typologies: hierarchical, group, rational, and development cultures. A personal questionnaire was administered to the directors or managers of 114 hotels located in two Egyptian cities: Hurgada and Sharm El Sheikh. The results of the structural model suggest the negative impact of the hierarchical and development cultures on the level of outsourcing. The results show a positive influence of the four types of organizational culture on sustainable performance, suggesting that these hotels have a strong interest in sustainability and the environment. The findings reveal a negative relationship between the level of outsourcing and sustainable performance. Finally, this study presents academic and practical implications, as well as recommendations for future research.

Boosting Sustainable Operations with Sustainable Supply Chain Modeling: A Case of Organizational Culture and Normative Commitment

“…This is particularly important to implement through enterprise management [ 84 ]. The importance of knowing the impact of OC was also emphasized [ 106 ], while the positive impact of four types of OC on sustainable performance was also mentioned [ 85 ]. OC is related to sustainability [ 51 ] and supports its vision [ 16 ] which was also definitely confirmed in our study.…”

“…OC and leadership in the sustainability of small businesses were analyzed [ 84 ]. The impact of OC on sustainable performance in the hotel sector was highlighted [ 85 ]. The positive connection between higher commitment and employee perceptions of environmental management practices in food-processing businesses was also pointed out [ 86 ].…”

The Moderating Role of Organizational Culture on the Relationship between Enterprise Risk Management Dimensions and Financial Performance in Manufacturing Companies: A Theoretical Framework

“…Despite the fact that the idea of organisational culture has been utilised as a phenomenon in organisations since the early twentieth century, scholars have focused on it in recent decades (Alofan et al, 2020;Anton & Nucu, 2020;Gebril Taha & Espino-Rodríguez, 2020;Hardcopf et al, 2021). Organizational culture, according to Chen et al (2019); Alofan et al (2020), is becoming an important topic in academic and management practise since it has a stronger impact on the implementation of the company's directions and strategies, as well as the company's success or failure.…”

“…Organizational culture, according to Chen et al (2019); Alofan et al (2020), is becoming an important topic in academic and management practise since it has a stronger impact on the implementation of the company's directions and strategies, as well as the company's success or failure. Academic researchers typically use the broad phrase "organisational culture" to refer to an organization's pre-existing cultural beliefs and assumptions (Abedelrahim, 2018;Alofan et al, 2020;Gebril Taha & Espino-Rodríguez, 2020;Hardcopf et al, 2021). From a cultural standpoint, management strategies incorporate cultural values and behaviours (Detert et al, 2000;Anton & Nucu, 2020).…”

“…As a result, in response to prior research' suggestions, the current study proposes a model that demonstrates the moderate role of OC in the relationship between ERM dimensions and financial performance in developing nations' manufacturing sectors. In addition, many researchers have studied the link between OC and financial performance based on the history of financial knowledge (Tarba et al, 2019;Mahfouz & Muhumed, 2020;Gebril Taha & Espino-Rodríguez, 2020;Hardcopf et al, 2021). Generally, because culture governs all of the links between the individuals in the organisation and the organisation as a system, organisational culture has a significant impact on the company's staff, structure, functioning, and strategy (Chen et al, 2019;Alofan et al, 2020;Gebril Taha & Espino-Rodríguez, 2020;Anton & Nucu, 2020;Saeidi et al, 2021;Adam et al, 2021).…”
