“…The analysis results also is in tandem with the assertion by Shahzad et al (2012) that if employees are committed and having the same norms and values as that of the organization, performance towards achieving the overall organization goals is enhanced. This finding also supports the assertion by Abdi and Senin (2014) that organization members with great experience and organizational culture enhances the performance of the organization. Based on the review of the existing literature, Abdi and Senin conclude that organizational culture plays a significant role in innovation.…”

There are 79 SMEs from Nairobi County in the Top 100 SMEs in Kenya. A sample size of 25 SMEs which represented 30% of the target population was selected through stratified random sampling. The stratification was based on five business sector categories (real estate, supplies, services, distribution and manufacturing). The study utilized primary data which was collected from top management employees through the use of questionnaire. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Correlation analysis was employed to aid in establishing the nature and strength of the relationships between variables of interest. Correlation analysis results indicate that strategic leadership, adoption of relevant technology, resources availability and organization culture has a positive and significant relationship with firm competitiveness. The study concludes that sustainable competitive advantage of the firm stems from effective strategic leadership, adoption of technology, resources availability and effective organization culture.

Background Healthcare settings are complex, and the decision-making process is usually complicated, too. Precise use of best evidence from different sources for increasing the desired outcomes is the result of EBM. Therefore, this study aimed to map the potential facilitators and barriers to EBM in health systems to help the healthcare managers to better implement EBM in their organizations. Methods The present study was a scoping review (SR) conducted in 2020 based on the integration of the frameworks presented by Arksey and O’Malley (2005) and Levac et al. (2010) considering the Joanna Briggs Institute guideline (2015). These frameworks consist of 6 steps. After finalizing the search strategy, 7 databases were searched, and the PRISMA-ScR was used to manage the retrieval and inclusion of the evidence. Microsoft Excel 2013 was used to extract the data, and the graphic description was presented. The summative analysis approach was used applying MAXQDA10. Results According to the systematic search, 4815 studies were retrieved after eliminating duplicates and unrelated articles, 49 articles remained to extract EBM facilitators and barriers. Six main aspects attitude toward EBM, external factors, contextual factors, resources, policies and procedures, and research capacity and data availability were summarized as EBM facilitators. The barriers to EBM were similarly summarized as attitude toward EBM, external factors, contextual factors, policies and procedures, limited resources, and research capacity and data availability. The streamgraphs describe that the international attention to the sub-aspects of facilitators and barriers of EBM has been increased since 2011. Conclusions The importance of decision-making regarding complex health systems, especially in terms of resource constraints and uncertainty conditions, requires EBM in the health system as much as possible. Identifying the factors that facilitate the use of evidence, as well as its barriers to management and decision-making in the organization, can play an important role in making systematic and reliable decisions that can be defended by the officials and ultimately lead to greater savings in organization resources and prevent them from being wasted.

“…Due to the intricate nature of contemporary organizations, OC may have an impact on OI. The impact of OC on innovation has already been studied by previous researchers (Abdi & Senin, 2014;Adelekan, 2016;Barbosa, 2014;Büschgens, Bausch, & Balkin, 2013;Martins & Martins, 2012;Shahzad, Xiu, & Shahbaz, 2017;Smit, 2015;Yeşil & Kaya, 2012).…”

Organizations consist of numerous tangible and intangible factors. Many of these factors were individually studied in relation to each other, but several factors still need a more thorough investigation. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of organizational culture (OC) on organizational innovation (OI) through the management control system (MCS) as a mediating factor. To achieve this aim, studies were comprehensively conducted in regard to the effects of OC on OI, the effects of OC on the MCS and the effects of MCS on OI. This study attempts to focus on the effects of OC and the MCS as mediating factors for OI among universities in Saudi Arabia. In this study, SmartPLS was used to validate the measurement model and relations between variables. The study results found that OC was significantly and directly related to OI, and it was significantly and indirectly related through the MCS as the mediating factor. This finding confirmed previous findings and supported the important roles of both constructs in university improvements.
