Exploring the link between employee commitment, recruitment process, and performance of internal supply chain of manufacturing firms in UAE

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of employee commitment as well as the recruitment process on the performance of internal supply chain. Additionally, the current study is intended to investigate the mediating role of the recruitment process on the relationship between employee commitment and firm supply chain performance. The main objective behind any recruitment process is to recruit committed employees to help a firm enhance the performance of the organizations. Therefore, the current study is carried out to fill a gap by exploring the relationship between recruitment processes, employee commitment, and firm supply chain performance. To achieve the research objective, the study has analyzed the data gathered from 284 mangers of manufacturing organizations of United Arab Emirates. 284 questionnaires out of 550 are found useful, so the response rate is 52 percent. The structural equation modelling using AMOS is used to analyze the data. The results of the study show an agreement with the results of the hypotheses. The direct relationship between commitment types and firms' internal supply chain performance, and between recruitment process and firms' internal supply chain performance are found positive and significant. The results of the study will be helpful for HR practitioners, operation managers, researchers, and policy makers in understanding the impact of employee commitments and recruitment process on internal supply chains' performance of manufacturing firms.

Invigorating the hospitality industry: What is the impact of psychological contract and psychological capital on employee commitment?

“…As a result, the higher the impact on employees' social or economic circumstances, the higher the degree of association with the organisation. Once an individual feels a sense of loyalty to an organisation, he or she is bound to defend the organisation (Alansaari et al 2019;Zareie & Navimipour 2016).…”

“…Employee commitment thus involves a strong desire to remain a member of a particular organisation. Alansaari, Yusoff and Ismail (2019) reiterate that given the nature of the hospitality industry, there is an inherent reliance on people to fulfil the industry's basic function (e.g. customer service and satisfaction), which supports the importance of cultivating a committed workforce.…”

Defensive pessimism and its effect on supply chain performance

“…These are avoiding, emoting, shifting, withholding and confounding. Several studies have established a positive relationship between employee commitment and supply chain integration and SCP (Alansaari et al ., 2019; Alfalla-Luque et al ., 2015), employee satisfaction and supply chain integration (Jacobs et al ., 2016). Vanichchinchai (2012) found that employee involvement positively impacts partnership management and a company’s SCP.…”

Recruitment and Selection Policies and Procedures and their effects on Organisational Performance: A Case Study

“…Similarly, in another study, on 'ethical issues in recruitment, selection and employee performance in public universities in Nyeri County, Kenya' there was a positive and significant relationship between ethical issues in recruitment and selection and employees' performances. The study found that inappropriate recruitment and selection activities are avoided when all jobseekers are held to the same selection requirements, where job openings are widely publicized to a broad pool of candidates, and where hiring managers obey the specified recruitment and selection strategies and processes [21].In Nigeria, a study concerning the implication of recruitment policies and procedures for employees' productivity in Enugu State Civil Service revealed that the recruitment policies and procedures in Enugu Civil Service were not based on the merit system but rather on subjective factors such as zoning, bribery in the form of job application purchase and nepotism [22].Also, in UAE, a study about the recruitment process, employee commitment, and performance revealed that there was a significant and positive relation between recruitment processes and employee behaviour and performance [23].…”
