TL;DR: This paper uses a five-stage mixed-mode process to propose an extended foresight measure and has implications for research on the individual aspect of microfoundations of capability building, organizational measures development, and foresight literature.
Abstract: Foresight is the ability to visualize alternate futures and shape the direction of future events. Generally considered as an organizational capability, foresight can be the basis of sustained competitive advantage, and needs to be fostered by enabling employees to acquire, assimilate, and analyze information with a future orientation. However, research on what constitutes foresight at the employee (i.e., individual) level is sparse. This paper fills this gap by using a five-stage mixed-mode process to propose an extended foresight measure. This paper has implications for research on the individual aspect of microfoundations of capability building, organizational measures development, and foresight literature.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined how mother and child hospital (RSIA) Type C performance in East Java with a population of 67 owners is affected by organizational competency, external networking, entrepreneurism, competitive advantage, and corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Abstract: This study aims to examine how Mother and Child Hospital (RSIA) Type C performance in East Java with a population of 67 owners is affected by organizational competency, external networking, entrepreneurism, competitive advantage, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). The results of the eight hypotheses using partial least squares (PLS) are as follows: 1) Organizational ability has a big and favorable impact on business performance. The hypothesis has been accepted. 2) The external network has a small but positive impact on company performance. 3) Entrepreneurial mindset has a favorable and significant impact on business performance. The hypothesis has been accepted. 4) Competitive Advantage is influenced by organizational capability in a favorable and meaningful way. The hypothesis has been accepted. 5) External networking contributes to competitive advantage in a positive and important way. The hypothesis has been accepted. 6) Entrepreneurial orientation affects competitive advantage in a favorable and important way. The hypothesis has been accepted. 7) Competitive advantage has a major and favorable impact on business performance. The hypothesis has been accepted. 8) Competitive advantage has little effect on Corporate Performance when CSR is regulated. The hypothesis was disproved.

TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic literature review was conducted on research papers published between 2000 and 2022 using a hybrid methodology that included bibliometric and content analysis, and the authors suggested that this line of research can be divided into three stages.
Abstract: PurposeMicrofoundations have become an effective approach for capability scholars to explore the heterogeneity of organizational results. Since the early pioneering work of scholars such as Felin and Foss, the microfoundations of strategic organization had not been extensively studied until 2010. The theoretical and empirical literature associated with the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities has developed rapidly. However, the diversity and fragmentation of micro-elements lead to a lack of a relatively consistent understanding of microfoundations, the study purpose is to aggregate the associated scattered terminology into a cohesive discussion.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was conducted on research papers published between 2000 and 2022 using a hybrid methodology that included bibliometric and content analysis.FindingsThe authors suggest that this line of research can be divided into three stages. The study further develop a framework delineating the main components and mechanism involved in the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities, which in turn help us distill research gaps and opportunities for future work.Originality/valueThe authors construct a framework that can serve as a coherent research platform for further knowledge development. In the framework, the authors highlight that the research of group constructs, culture and leadership, data-driven topics are valuable for our understanding of the microfoundations of dynamics capabilities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model was proposed to explain the relationship between future time perspective and personality and organizational behavior, explain results of empirical tests, and identify uses, and explain the meaning and measures of Future Time Perspective.
Abstract: Future time perspective was introduced as a cognitive dynamic orientation. We propose a model explaining its relationship with personality and organizational behavior, explain results of empirical tests, and identify uses. There has been a great deal of confusion regarding the meaning and measures of Future Time Perspective. Despite being treated as a stable trait for many years, it is reemerging as a temporal anchor that affects human behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the perspective of ego to investigate the spirituality of a salesperson and its influence on customer orientation and adaptive selling behavior, and found that there is full mediation through meaningful work on both the outcome behaviors.
Abstract: Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to use the perspective of ego to investigate the spirituality of a salesperson and its influence on customer orientation and adaptive selling behavior. Meaningful work is proposed as a mediator.
Design/methodology/approach
Cross-sectional data were collected from 218 insurance salespeople in India. Bootstrap with SEM was used to test mediation.
Findings
The paper finds that there is full mediation through meaningful work on both the outcome behaviors.
Research limitations/implications
The findings will encourage researchers to link various salesperson outcomes such as ethical sales behavior, salesperson service behavior, and so on to spirituality.
Practical implications
The findings can provide some relevant inputs for sales leadership actions aimed at facilitating employees’ spiritual experiences.
Originality/value
This is among the first few studies, as what the authors believe, in the sales literature to find out that spirituality and sales job not only can co-exist, but they do complement each other.
