“…Compared to SCND and information systems, the organizational structure was identified as a more significant construct of SSCM concerning its impact on organizational performance. The finding complies with Imran and Abbas's [33] study that organizational structure positively impacts firms' overall performance. This means that most of the sampled corporations focus on adapting the organizational structure to the strategic level use in SCM as they seek to make these adjustments to improve their performance.…”

“…In expectation of the organization, the network design of the supplier must comply with the production requirements of producers [23]. Therefore, the factors selected for decision by suppliers should be relevant to the price, delivery, and quality [33].

Technological advancement and the highly competitive nature of business have forced organizations to use multiple strategies to streamline their business operations. Current research investigates the relationship between sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and business performance, focusing on operational and financial performance. It provides insights into the operational structure, resource utilization, and the identification of strategic tools needed to strengthen organizational performance. The researchers conducted unstructured interviews with 41 industrialists and analyzed them via open-source coding and deducing reasoning. A questionnaire was developed by analyzing critical scientific literature and unstructured interviews. Empirical responses were taken from 202 industrial corporations. The structural analyses indicate that the effective execution of SSCM significantly improves firms’ operational and financial performance. The findings also provide detailed information about different components of SSCM, namely supply chain strategy (SCS), supply chain network design (SCND), organizational structure, and information system, and explain how it relates to the previous literature review by using a multivariate statistical analysis, followed by structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings of current research highlight the significant role of SSC in accelerating firms’ operational and financial performance and suggest that SSCM should be taken as a secondary strategy and must be integrated with the overall business strategy.

“…When we talk about task performance, it encompasses individual behaviors while performing their defined roles. On the other side, contextual performance considers the interpersonal relationship that the people forge voluntarily to help perform the task, which boosts the organization's effectiveness (Imran & Abbas, 2020).…”

The current research uses the principles of reinforcement theory of motivation and selfdetermination theory and investigates how motivation and rewards impact on job performance of employees. Motivation and rewards are examined from intrinsic and extrinsic perspectives, while job performance is measured from the task and contextual performance aspects. The mediating effect of job satisfaction has also been investigated between motivation, rewards, and job performance. Using five points Likert scale, the researchers collected data from the managerial and non-managerial staff working in manufacturing and services firms. Non-probability convenience sampling technique was followed to collect 422 empirical responses. The collected data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling technique. The results indicated that reward and motivation affect employee job performance positively significantly. However, the dimensional analysis indicated an insignificant impact of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on contextual performance. Besides, the findings substantiate that the relationship between rewards, motivation, and employees' job performance depends on job satisfaction. The current research provides valuable insights to senior management of manufacturing and services firms on how they can enhance their employees' job satisfaction and performance by following different motivational and reward approaches in different size firms.

“…Considering the highly competitive environment of the current era, the majority of employers in China prefer to have dynamic individuals (Imran and Abbas, 2020) who have diversified skills and related academic qualifications (Abbas, 2019b). As HEIs are the suppliers of the labour force to industry, governments and employers assign significant responsibilities to them as they are one of the pillars of economic development (Daud et al, 2011;Mok and Jiang, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the managers’ views on the characteristics which university graduates should have to obtain the job and efficiently perform in Chinese industrial organizations, and how are they performing in the industry. Design/methodology/approach Mix-method approach was followed to identify the key employability attributes, employers’ expectations and students’ performance. Analysis of interviews and literature provided the foundation for the development of the employability instrument used. In total, 11 identified attributes were grouped into four dimensions, i.e. knowledge, skills, abilities and professional attitude. Structural analysis was performed to test the hypotheses and theoretical model. The importance of the identified attributes was checked via the ranking technique, followed by an evaluation of students’ actual performance and a comparison between them. Findings Empirical analyses indicate that the managers in China consider “skills” as the most important dimension for employability in Chinese industrial organizations and “reliability” is the highly demanded subsequent factor. A significant gap has been found in all studied dimensions and 10 out of 11 sub-factors. Originality/value This study not only identifies key employability attributes, but also proposes and validates an instrument for measuring students’ industrial performance. It also highlights the factors where industry and academia should focus to improve graduates’ employability and their industrial performance.
