“…As argued by Dijkstra [73], the path-weighing scheme is preferable because it provides the highest R 2 value for endogenous latent variables and is generally applicable for all PLS path mode specifications and estimations. The technique was in line with Petter [74], who posited that PLS-SEM is efficient for prediction by reducing the explained variance in the dependent variables, most especially when the data are in contrast to the normality assumption and certain important regressors are excluded from the model. SmartPLS 3 was utilized for data analysis, and the psychometric properties of the construct were examined through factor loadings of the items [75], including average variance extraction [76,77], composite reliability [77,78], variance inflation factor (VIF) [76], and, discriminant validity through Fornel-Larcker criteria [79] and Heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations (HTMT) [80].…”

The Impact of Strategic Human Resource Management Practices on Competitive Advantage Sustainability: The Mediation of Human Capital Development and Employee Commitment

2019

Academic institutions like other business organizations strive to achieve, maintain, and sustain their competitive advantages. In this study, we examined the influence of the “strategic human resources management (HRM) practices” on the achievement of “competitive advantages” that will be sustainable, with an evaluation of the mediating role of “human capital” development, and the commitment of employees in an academic environment. Six hundred questionnaires were randomly distributed to the employees of selected universities in Erbil City of Iraq. Structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques were employed for the analysis with the use of Smart Partial Least Square PLS. Findings from our study revealed a linear and positive influence of the strategic HRM on the sustainability of “competitive advantages”; strategic HRM was also found to positively influence human capital development and the commitment of employees to the institutions; the influence of both human capital development and employees’ commitment were found to have a partial mediation in the strategic HRM practices and sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) relationship. Finally, theoretical and management implications were suggested.

“…In responses to the criticisms, different improvements and extensions to the method have been introduced by some authors [120,121]. Hair et al 2018 [117] and Petter [122] recently demonstrate the value of PLS as an SEM technique. Currently, this method is widely applied by academics in the environmental innovation field [123][124][125].…”

Financial Resources for the Circular Economy: A Perspective from Businesses

et al. 2019

In recent years, a number of case studies of the circular economy in business have been analysed by academics. However, some areas of research are little explored at the micro level, such as the study of the characteristics of the financial resources applied to investments to introduce circular activities in businesses. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to define the resources applied to circular activities by firms. To describe the influence of financial resources on achieving a more advanced circular economy in business is also an objective of this paper. Using a sample of Spanish companies, we applied a partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to enhance the knowledge about financial resource management in the framework of the resource-based view. We find that availability of funds, quality of the firm’s own financial resources and public subsidies have a positive effect in stimulating the implementation of circular economy initiatives in businesses.

“…Similar to the first-order model, the second-order model performs very well in terms of validity and reliability. Results in Table 5 show that the dimensions (first-order constructs) of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards all weight more than 0.5 on their postulated second-order construct which were well greater than the conventional threshold (Alsaad, Mohamad, & Ismail, 2017, 2018Becker et al, 2012;Polites et al, 2012). Moreover, all the path coefficients and t-values from second-order to first-order are significant at p < .001.…”

This article examines the influence of total rewards-comprising extrinsic, intrinsic, and social rewards-on employee retention in Islamic banks in Jordan, with particular focus on the employee perspective. A questionnaire is used to collect data from the study sample, which consists of 500 employees working in various Islamic banks across Jordan. The study hypotheses are then tested using partial least squares (PLS) technique by applying structural equation models (SEMs). Results show that extrinsic, intrinsic, and social rewards are all important factors in achieving employee retention. Interestingly, social rewards were shown to have the highest level of influence on employee retention. This research is new in the Jordanian context; it offers a deeper understanding of some of the most important factors in retaining talent and thereby increasing organizational productivity and competitive advantage. It furthermore provides new insights into the relationship between total rewards and employee retention within the context of the Middle East, a combination previously uncharted.
