“…For instance, organisational theorists have examined the main relationship between strategy and structure, structure and performance and the link among strategy, structure and performance (Nandakumar et al, 2010). The overall inferences drawn conclude that organisations must match structure and processes if the essence of business strategy is to achieve organisational goals (Bozkurt et al, 2014). However, the relationship between strategy and performance is inconclusive and is moderated by many other organisational constructs.…”

“…Competitive strategy is mainly the outcome of the pattern of decisions made by managers to guide an organisation on how to compete in the hypercompetitive business environment, by adding value to the processes that can influence organisational performance (Bozkurt et al, 2014;Acquaah and Agyapong, 2015). This study considers Porter's generic typology as the dominant paradigm of competitive strategy (see Tansey et al, 2014;Ho, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the possible moderating role of organisational characteristics (organisational structure, management style and decision-making style) in the relationship between strategy and organisational performance among large construction organisations in South Africa. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted a quantitative research approach using a questionnaire survey to obtain data from 72 large construction organisations in South Africa. Using hierarchical multiple regression, the paper examines the relationship between the constructs discussed in the study. Findings The internal characteristics of the organisation form the vital basis for achieving optimal performance. The results obtained from the analysis revealed that decision-making style directly influences the measure of organisational effectiveness, while it could also be inferred that organisational characteristics partly moderate the relationship between competitive strategy and organisational performance. The findings indicate that internal characteristics is one of the means through which organisational strategic factors and contextual aspects are organised to achieve greater organisational performance levels. Originality/value The findings have theoretical implications for strategic management literature in construction as it extends the scope of research on strategic management from assessing a set of individual management practices to evaluating a complex mechanism that connects internal characteristics and competitive advantage. It is believed that this study will contribute positively to the role of organisational characteristics in the competitive strategy-performance relationships in large construction organisations in South Africa and to the ongoing discussion on emerging strategic management issues in construction.

“…Organisational frameworks can be classified into various dimensions such as centralised (mechanistic), decentralised, integrated, flat, tall, formal, specialised, complex (organic), simplified, and matrix based on scholars and management practitioners over time (Wahba, 2015;Daft et al, 2010;Bozkurta et al, 2014;Talbert & Hall, 2009). The most significant types of the organisational framework are centralised, decentralised and formalised (Talbert & Hall, 2009;Daft et al, 2010;Shaar & Khattab, 2015).…”

“…According to (Hage, 1965;Wahba, 2015), a centralised organisational framework denotes the organisation's decision-making authority. In a centralised framework, decisions and power are retained by top management and opportunities for growth is slim (Wahba, 2015;Daft et al, 2010;Bozkurta et al, 2014;Talbert & Hall, 2009). The share of work assortment and employees who partake in the decision process and the decision areas are also insignificant.…”

Social media such as Facebook has become an essential strategic tool for organisations. Facebook is a platform where a large pool of consumers would use to make purchase decisions. Organisations are designing and maintaining their Facebook account to expand their social networks and build relationships with the public. This research explains current situations regarding the influence of online social media technology with reference to Facebook on employees' work performance in Malaysia. The problem statement focuses on both the public and private sectors in Malaysia. Additionally, various literature was reviewed, indicating the relationship between social media (usage at work, sociability, and trust) and work performance. The mediating role of the organisational framework on the relationship between online social media technology (Facebook) and work performance was also scrutinised to formulate the research hypothesis. The findings of this research established a significant relationship between online social media (Facebook) and organisational framework and work performance. Conclusively, the hypothesis depicted that the organisational framework fully mediates the relationship between online social media technology (Facebook) and employees' work performance in public and private sectors in Malaysia. This study also verifies that both the public and private sector organisations that incorporate Facebook can enhance networking and information sharing, influencing employees' work performance, creating a stable organisational framework, generating value for customers, and improving employee relationships with all stakeholders. In conclusion, work performance can be heightened by a well planned and structured organisational framework. Additionally, through a well planned and implemented online social media technology such as Facebook, an organisation would have a smooth operating organisational framework and a workforce with enhanced performance.

Purpose This study aims to examine the preference for earnings management (EM) strategies according to business strategies, namely, cost leadership strategies and differentiation strategies, Design/methodology/approach This study analyzed 262 samples of manufacturing and service companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019. Logistic regression analysis is used to test the company’s EM strategy preferences based on the applied business strategy. Findings The results prove that business strategy has a significant effect on EM strategy preferences. Companies that implement a cost leadership strategy tend to use an accrual form of EM rather than a real form of EM. Conversely, companies that implement a differentiation strategy tend to use a real form of EM. Research limitations/implications Theoretically, this study confirms that contingency theory can explain EM practice preferences based on business strategy. Practically, this study helps auditors and financial statement analysts in assessing the quality of financial statements, as well as the risk of financial misstatement based on the business strategy adopted by the companies. Originality/value Based on prior literature, research studies on the analysis of EM strategy preferences based on business strategy have been limited.
