“…The current study distributed 600-web based questionnaires with two reminders of e-mail messages and telephonic calls to get the higher responses, however, the present study has received 221 useable responses, which yields a response rate of 36%. The questionnaire of the study was adapted from the past studies such as 8 items scale of HRP adapted from Huo et al (2015) and Sánchez-Marín et al (2017), 8 items scale of PSCI adapted from Flynn et al (2010) and at last 9 items scale of PP adapted from Seo et al (2016), the scale can be seen in appendix 1. The seven Likert scale has been used in the questionnaire.…”

The primary objective of this paper is to investigate the mediation role of port supply chain integration between Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and port performance (PP) in Kingdome of Saudi Arabia. The present study employed partial lest square structural equation modeling technique to analyze the collected data. The study found some positive significant direct relationship between HRP, port supply chain integration (PSCI) and PP. Besides, this study also found some positive and significant relationship between HRP and PSCI. Additionally, the study confirms the mediating role of PSCI between HRP and PP. The study contributes to the literature and to the practice of ports to understand how the process of HRP and PSCI produces better port performance.

PurposeThis study aims to demonstrate how integration is achieved in an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design by assessing the effect of collaborative cultural dimensions on supply chain collaboration amongst firms in Ghana's downstream petroleum sector. Specifically, the study examined how collectivism, long-term orientation, power symmetry, as well as uncertainty avoidance influence supply chain collaboration. Besides, it also demonstrates how integration is achieved in an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.Design/methodology/approachUsing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study employed a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis of quantitative data (N = 166), followed by a thematic analysis of eight semi-structured interviews to explain how and why the dimensions of collaborative culture impact supply chain collaboration.FindingsThe quantitative findings suggest that three out of the four dimensions of culture significantly predict supply chain collaboration. Integrating the quantitative and qualitative findings suggests convergence between the results of the quantitative and qualitative phases of the study as the qualitative results compliment the quantitative findings and offer more nuanced understanding of the cultural mechanisms responsible for successful supply chain collaborations.Practical implicationsThe findings provide managers in the downstream petroleum sector with insights into how and why the dimensions of collaborative culture influence supply chain collaboration. These managers should, therefore, build corporate cultures characterized with high levels of long-term orientation, power symmetry and uncertainty avoidance.Originality/valueOwing to the role of culture in successful supply chain collaborations, this study, through a mixed-methods design, links the dimensions of collaborative culture with supply chain collaboration in the downstream petroleum sector. Moreover, it demonstrates how integration and complementarity are achieved at the study design, methods, as well as the interpretation and reporting levels of an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.

“…While contractual governance determines both the financial and operational liabilities of the parties, relational governance works as a mechanism that shapes the informal side of the relationship with the role of relational norms developed throughout the process. Although the related literature on port network relations partially covers the role of relational norms such as information sharing [9] and flexibility [10], the motive of this study is derived from the need of a theory based qualitative research that would enlighten both facets of the governance mechanisms. In this context, the aim of this study is to carry out an investigation on how these two governance mechanisms function together within the port-port user relationships and how their balance determines the success of the relationship as a whole.…”

The rising importance of port-port user relations is a result of widening roles that ports play within the global supply chains and the increasing impact of these relations on the overall performance of the supply chains. In the governance of these relations, both contractual governance and relational governance play the role and the balance between these two governance mechanisms shapes the characteristics and the quality of the relationship. Focusing on the container terminal-liner shipping agency relations in Aliaga as multiple cases, this study aims to investigate how governance mechanisms are handled in the port industry and how the interplay between these two mechanisms occurs. In accordance with this purpose, interviews are conducted with both representatives of the container terminals and representatives of liner shipping agencies in order to reveal the governance dynamics of said relations. The results reveal that relational governance plays an important role in constituting trust and commitment in between parties. On the other hand, the tendency to rely on contractual governance is found out to be mainly related to the organizational culture of the parties, but relatively limited because of the intense competition in the region.
