A quantitative review and analysis of social commerce adoption studies by focusing on applied theories
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137270
This study aims to examine the evolution of related studies on the acceptance and use of social media in business. To this aim, the basic theory approach was used. Based on a systematic review, 259 related studies were identified in three stages and analysed with an emphasis on basic theories. Accordingly, 36 major theories were evaluated based on their dimensions, applications, and business processes used in their studies, as well as the type of social media, the research methodology, and input and output of the study. Accordingly, technology acceptance model, social support theory, theory of planned behaviour, theory of rational action, social influence theory, and social exchange theory were considered as the most widely used theories. In addition, perceived ease of use and usefulness, attitude, user satisfaction, value, trust, informational and emotional support, reviews and social influence have been most widely used in social commerce acceptance studies.

Organisational justice: investigating perspective of contract manufacturing employees
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137305
While newer, advanced behavioural models have been designed to understand employees' behaviours in the organisation, plausible research exists about evolving direct and indirect relationships of various constituents in explaining this phenomenon, more specifically in the context of contract manufacturing organisations. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of organisational justice in inducing job embeddedness among contract manufacturing employees and whether career satisfaction mediates these effects. A total of 285 employees from contract manufacturing organisations participated in this study. Results show that the higher the organisational justice, the more likely they are embedded with their job. Results are discussed in terms of evolutionary findings of the importance of organisational justice in the job embeddedness and career satisfaction realm. The findings are of great importance to organisational behaviour scholars, human resource experts, and workplace policy regulators.

Transportation model of humanitarian logistics: case of COVID-19 monsoon floods
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137271
It is a challenging task to manage humanitarian logistics during COVID-19. This paper investigates how firms overcome floods and the COVID-19 pandemic transportation model simultaneously due to its severity on firms' performance. This paper aims to examine the transportation model's optimism, which needs to select the best route to deliver the monsoon floods relief operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Arena software with a discrete event simulation and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) analysis using a deep learning technique was deployed in the method. The simulation software shows the most effective scenario with flexibility and MLP with root relative squared results found that disaster operations for mitigation are the most critical humanitarian performance indicators. The humanitarian logistics model is practical for NGOs or government agencies since it was designed with the COVID-19 scenario. The simulation technique is suitable for solving a practical problem and providing an alternative solution to humanitarian logistics.

Improving employee performance, commitment and satisfaction through leadership style: mediating effect of employee satisfaction
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137269
This research examined the impact of the leadership styles on employee performance, commitment, and satisfaction as well as the mediating effect of employee satisfaction. A sample of 304 Malaysian IT employees was selected using simple random probability sampling. Data was analysed using structural equation modelling via AMOS 22. The result shows that both leadership styles have significant effects on employee performance, commitments, and satisfaction. Also, we found that democratic leadership has significantly positive effect on performance, commitment, and satisfaction, while laissez-faire leadership style has significantly negative effects on employee performance, commitment, and satisfaction. Furthermore, we found that satisfaction has no mediating effects on the relationship between leadership styles, commitment, and performance. Therefore, we concluded that cultivating democratic leadership style will enhances employee performance, commitments, and satisfaction. Implication of research was discussed.

Technological development of biofertiliser products and processes: a patent analysis
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137268
The objective of this research is to identify trends in technological developments in biofertiliser products and processes based on patent analysis to help in present and future research. The investigation was carried out in Web of Science and Scopus for the bibliometric study; the Patentscope search tool was used for the status of applications and grants. The results yielded 122 applications and 18 patents granted, showing that the countries that make the most applications are China and Russia. This study provides knowledge about the patenting process, as well as the products and processes related to biofertilisers that have been granted in concession or are in the application process; therefore, the contribution of this work is to offer the latest regarding the development of patents on biofertilisers and sustainability. Biofertiliser innovations respond to a socio-economic and environmental need through precise scientific and technological research activities, guaranteeing adequate and sustainable use of biofertilisers in the market.

Implicit and social learning theory: an explanation of why experienced medical representatives have higher engagement and performance
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137272
The purpose of this research is to obtain an explanation of the high involvement and performance of experienced medical representatives based on implicit and social learning theory. Data was obtained using the mix method approach of explanatory survey and selected case studies with a sample of 207 medical representatives of pharmaceutical companies spread across major cities in Indonesia. The data was analysed using SEM and phenomenology. The findings show an understanding of the reality and social world of medical representatives as a learning space that encourages increased work engagement and performance. The view of the inherent dynamic nature of working as a medical representative encourages increased self-regulation, based on role models, to be more engaged and perform well even during a pandemic like COVID-19. The originality of this research is that it provides a framework to explain the process of improving work engagement and performance based on lay views on the dynamic nature and social learning process that are felt in pharmaceutical companies. The framework is based on the views of individuals who are used to interpret and evaluate their social world.
