Closing the strategic planning and implementation gap through excellence in the public sector: empirical investigation using SEM

Abstract

<jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Purpose</jats:title> <jats:p>Strategic planning and strategy implementation are proposed to impact overall performance. However, the purpose of this study is to empirically examine the mediating effect of organisational excellence on the relationship between strategic planning, strategy implementation and organisational performance (OP).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Design/methodology/approach</jats:title> <jats:p>Hypotheses have been developed for testing using primary data obtained through a survey questionnaire. The data were gathered from the Dubai police organisation. Out of a total of 500 questionnaires, only 244 questionnaires were returned. For measurement and structural models, the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was used to analyse the data.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Findings</jats:title> <jats:p>All proposed hypotheses were supported and confirmed the positive and significant relationships between strategic planning, strategy implementation, organisational excellence and OP. Statistical findings using SEM-partial least square also confirmed the mediating role of organisational excellence as a mechanism between strategic planning, strategy implementation and OP.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Practical implications</jats:title> <jats:p>Results discussed many valuable implications. The outcomes will help managers, decision-makers and practitioners to consider organisational excellence strategy when implementing strategic planning process to achieve the best performance.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title content-type="abstract-subheading">Originality/value</jats:title> <jats:p>The current study is one of the most important empirical studies to analyse and examine the relationships between strategic planning, strategy implementation organisational excellence and business performance. In addition, this study is one the rare studies that involve excellence as a practice when implementing strategic planning process.</jats:p> </jats:sec>

Strategic Planning, Organizational Culture, Analysis of Organizational Performance in Strategic Change Management Mediation in State Intelligence Agency

“…Good organizational performance will have a maximum impact on the progress of the Logistics Section of State Property Management of the State Intelligence Agency in each section, in taking a policy of readiness for change can create the performance of the State Intelligence Agency. Al-Dhaafri and Alosani (2020) Organizational Culture, on Organizational Performance which is positively mediated by Strategic Change Management, this shows that this illustrates that organizational culture has a strong influence on organizational performance, then Strategic Change Management as mediation is expected to increase the influence of culture on the performance of the Logistics Section of State Property Management State Intelligence Agency. If changes to organizational culture are able to provide good resource changes, it will also bring good quality to an organization that maximally develops all aspects for the advancement of national defense.…”

“…This study tries to develop theories about Information Technology Capabilities which is carried out to see how Information Technology Capabilities help human resources so that it will improve organizational performance, several theories about Strategic Planning, which are carried out for organizational strategic planning are contained in several studies from Barron and Chou (2017); Esfahani et al (2018); Dlamini et al (2019); Al-Dhaafri and Alosani (2020).…”

Dynamic Round Robin CPU Scheduling Algorithm Based on K-Means Clustering Technique

“…Unlike classification, in which the classes are predefined and the classification procedure specifies an object to them, clustering creates foremost groups in which the values of the dataset are classified during the classification process (i.e., categorizes subjects (data points) into different groups (clusters)). Such a categorizing process depends on the selected the algorithm adopted and characteristics [23]. The type of features determines the algorithm used in the clustering, for example, conceptual algorithms are used for clustering categorical data, statistical algorithms are used for clustering numeric data, fuzzy clustering algorithms allow data point to be classified into all clusters with a degree of membership ranging from 0 to 1, this degree indicates the similarity of the data point to the mean of the cluster.…”

Sustenance Strategies for Lean Manufacturing Implementation in Malaysian Manufacturing Industries

“…Manufacturers should strive to improve and cope with the recent technological advances to maintain long-term competitiveness and adapt to the dynamic challenges [2,3]. Manufacturers must design appropriate strategic approaches to reach a competitive advantage in order to keep improving to be competitive in this challenging market [4,5]. Thus, lean implementation has become a strategic approach and is inevitable to survive in the market.…”
