“…These results showed that all measurement items should not belong to a single factor. In addition, the CMB issue was scouted out by evaluating the variance inflation factors (VIFs) of the latent variables in the model (Kum et al, 2023). highlight that the VIF collinearity method is well-suited to ascertain the CMB issue in a partial least squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM) model.…”

PurposeBuilding supply chain (SC) resilience has become a priority for many organizations, following a global increase in disruptive events. While management accounting and control (MAC) systems play a supportive role in supply chain management (SCM) decisions, little is known about the contributions offered to resilience decisions in service organizations. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance implications of MCS's impact on proactive and reactive resilience of healthcare supply chains.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a survey of 127 public health managers via structural equation modeling. The partial least squares version 3.3.3 was used.FindingsThe results show a statistically positive impact of MAC dimensions on proactive and reactive resilience, which in turn impacts the quality, delivery speed and cost effectiveness of the health SC. However, the integration dimension had an insignificant effect on reactive resilience but a positive effect on proactive resilience.Research limitations/implicationsThis study examined the performance implications of MAC system dimensions and proactive and reactive resilience on operational performance in health SCs, using empirical data from only one country. Thus, generalizing the findings to include other jurisdictions may be impossible.Practical implicationsHealthcare managers in public health facilities should embrace the four MAC dimensions (except the integrated dimension in reactive resilience) to support information generation in SC resilience decisions.Originality/valuePerhaps, the first to provide preliminary empirical evidence on the interactive effect of proactive and reactive resilience and MAC dimensions in terms of broad scope, timeliness, integration and aggregation on health SC operational performance under disruption, in the context of an emerging economy.

This paper presents a structural framework to enhance time management proficiency within dynamic work environments. The framework integrates prioritization techniques, task scheduling methods, delegation strategies, and technology utilization to optimize time allocation and productivity. The methodology involves the application of the Eisenhower Matrix, Pareto Principle, and time-blocking techniques, supported by case studies in diverse professional settings. Results indicate a 20% improvement in project completion times, a 25% reduction in project turnaround time, and a 30% increase in project visibility. These findings underscore the framework’s effectiveness in enhancing time management and achieving long-term success. Implications include recommendations for continuous refinement and integration of emerging technologies.

“…Academia, in partnership with the industry, has reported on the impact of COVID-19 on the construction industry from various perspectives, such as the general construction industry (Ogunnusi et al, 2020), the health and safety of the construction workforce (Pamidimukkala et al, 2021), and the use and adoption of digital technologies . Other varied studies have been conducted in areas including health and safety management (Kum et al, 2023;Sadeh et al, 2023), construction performance (Gumusburun Ayalp and Civici, 2023), and construction supply chain management (Sutterby et al, 2023). Considering the challenges, how the pandemic and the associated mitigation measures have affected QA is still unclear.…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the construction industry, yet still, it is unclear from existing studies about the critical challenges imposed on quality assurance (QA), particularly Cross-border Construction Logistics and Supply Chain (Cb-CLSC). Thus, this study aims to identify and examine the critical challenges of QA of Cb-CLSC during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThe aim is achieved via an embedded mixed-method approach pragmatically involving a desk literature review and engaging 150 experts across the globe using expert surveys, and results confirmed by semi-structured interviews. The approach is based on Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) as its foundation.FindingsThe study revealed ten critical challenges of QA, with the top four including “the shortage of raw construction material (C7)”, “design changes (C6)”, “collaboration and communication difficulties (C1)” and “changes in work practices (C10)”. However, examining the interrelationships among the critical challenges using ISM confirmed C7 and C10 as the most critical challenges. The study again revealed that the critical challenges are sensitive and capable of affecting themselves due to the nature of their interrelationship based on MICMAC analysis. Hence, being consistent with why all the challenges were considered critical amid the pandemic. Sentiment analysis revealed that the critical challenges have not been entirely negative but also positive by creating three areas of opportunities for improvement: technology adoption, worker management, and work process management. However, four areas of challenges in the QA include cost, raw material, time, and work process, including inspection, testing, auditing, communication, etc.Practical implicationsThe finding provides a convenient point of reference to researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and decision-makers on formulating policies to enhance the effectiveness of construction QA during the pandemic through to the post-pandemic era.Originality/valueThe study enriches the extant literature on QA, Cb-CLSC, and the COVID-19 pandemic in the construction industry by identifying the critical challenges and examining the interrelationships among them. This provides a better understanding of how the construction QA has been affected by the pandemic and the opportunities created.
