“They Care, We Share”- Perceived Fairness in Performance Appraisal Systems on Knowledge Sharing

The strategic importance of knowledge especially under dynamic business conditions makes it imperative to primarily understand the creation of the knowledge base. This paper employs mixed-method approach to understand the various triggers that motivate the knowledge sharing behavior of the IT employees working in Indian firms. Firstly, a qualitative study that comprised of thirteen in-depth interviews aimed to capture the participants’ understanding of, the context and the factors that trigger knowledge-sharing behavior. The fairness in performance appraisal, manager’s support, and career success were found to be the key triggers. Then, a quantitative study of 105 IT professionals examined the effect of the identified variables. Results suggested a positive relationship between perceived fairness in performance appraisal and knowledge-sharing behavior and the mediating role of career and hierarchical success between perceived fairness in performance appraisal system and knowledge-sharing behavior. The implications for both theory and practice have also been discussed in detail.

Innovative Capacities of Shipbuilding Organizations Manufacturing Composite Ships

During the transitional period at the end of the 20th century, Croatian small composite shipbuilding (SCS) had merely 27 models. Still, at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, this innovative industry showed resilience and readiness to adapt to the new business conditions and created 237 basic models. The main goal of the research was the assessment of the innovative capacity of SCS in Croatia. The research was carried out via survey and interviews. It included 73 SCS organisations, based on the main hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between the innovative capacity and innovative appearances (innovative management, innovation culture, innovative policy, and innovative factors) as well as the performance of the organization. The testing was performed with the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, the ANOVA and the post hoc LSD test resulted in the confirmation of the main and the three ancillary hypotheses. For the first time in Croatia, a new model of assessment of innovative capacities and innovative phenomena is presented, aiming to raise awareness of the need to strengthen the innovative capacities as a basis for the development of SCS.

A Hybrid Mathematical and Decision-Making Model to Determine the Amount of Economic Order considering the Discount

Suppliers are one of the most important parts of the supply chain, whose performance indirectly has a significant impact on customer satisfaction. Because customer demands are different from organizations, organizations have to consider different criteria for selecting their suppliers. In recent years, many studies in this field have been conducted using various criteria and methods. The main purpose defined in this research is to develop a model for simultaneous item ordering systems in real business conditions. In this research, a model is developed by considering the two objectives of minimizing overall costs and maximizing the amount of products ordered from different suppliers based on their weight value. Weights are calculated based on different criteria using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process method for each supplier in different periods. Then, due to the multiobjective nature of the model, the proposed model has been solved by using the epsilon constraint in GAMS and nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II in MATLAB software. Considering the simultaneous order of inventory of multiproduct with several suppliers in several periods of time in discrete space with discount is one of the contributions of this research. To validate the proposed model, the results of the exact solution are compared with the meta-heuristic solution. Comparison results and assessment metrics indicate that the results of the proposed solution approach with an error of less than 1% had good performance. The results show that the system cost increases, by increasing the amount of discount, because of the increase in the amount of demand. Therefore, with a 30% increase in the discount, the system costs will increase to 36,496 units. Also, with a 20% reduction, the cost reduction will be reduced to 14,170 units.
