Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The performance measurement and management systems of public and private organizations are changing in the last decade. The great changing business environment is leading innovative design to face current needs (Nudurupati et al., 2021; Sardi et al., 2022). The literature pushes for holistic, integrated and multidisciplinary performance measurement and management systems able to include numerous perspectives such as traditional financial, internal processes, customer and learning and growth perspectives, as well as economic, social and environmental sustainability perspectives.

Scholars and practitioners need guidelines to design, implement and use this system in the current scenario impacted by big data analysis, globalization, technology 4.0, new competencies, HRM, etc. (Bititci et al., 2012; Sardi et al., 2019, 2020, 2021). It requires theoretical and practical contributions (Bourne et al., 2018). To develop this guideline, we need various studies on different topics linked to performance measurement and management. This Special Issue will collect numerous contributions related to new trends in performance measurement and management:

This Special Issue will accept theoretical and practical contributions related to the public, private and not for profit sectors.

The adoption of models based on key performance indicators to diagnose and evaluate the competitiveness of companies has been presented as a trend in the operations’ management. These models are structured with different variables in complex interrelationships, making diagnosis and monitoring difficult due to the number of variables involved, which is one of the main management challenges of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. In this sense, this article proposes the Gain Information Artificial Neural Network (GIANN) method. GIANN is a method to optimize the number of variables of assessment models for the competitiveness and operational performance of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. GIANN is a hybrid methodology combining Multi-attribute Utility Theory with Entropy and Information Gain concepts and computational modeling through Multilayer Perceptron Artificial Neural Network. The model used in this article integrates variables such as fundamental points of view, critical success factors, and key performance indicators. GIANN was validated through a survey of managers of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in Southern Brazil. The initial model was adjusted, reducing the number of key performance indicators by 39% while maintaining the accuracy of the results of the competitiveness measurement. With GIANN, the number of variables to be monitored decreases considerably, facilitating the management of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. Full article

The study aims to test the impact of social support from supervisors and self-efficacy on employee performance through office de-clutter (a mediator) in banks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the supporting factors (social support and self-efficacy) to de-clutter for maintaining employee performance is a novel contribution to the literature and is supported by the social exchange theory—SET. The employee’s performance can be maintained with lower levels of office clutter (de-clutter). The office clutter can be managed through the availability of managerial social support and employee self-efficacy. The impact of supervisor support and self-efficacy on employee performance is examined through the lens of the social exchange theory. A cross-sectional and quantitative study was conducted with 202 primary responses from bank employees. The responses were recorded using closed-ended questionnaires. A response rate of 73.9% was achieved. Reliability and validity were assessed using Cronbach’s alpha scores and AVE, respectively. PLS-SEM was used as a data analysis and hypotheses testing technique. The results revealed that supervisors’ social support and self-efficacy significantly and positively affect employee performance. Moreover, supervisors’ social support and self-efficacy helped in office de-clutter, further ensuring better performance. Full article
