Abstract

This study sought to assess the mediation effect caused by information communication technology on supplier relationship management and organizational performance. RAOSOFT sample size calculator was used to calculate the sample size of 160 employees from firms in the packaging printing industry in Harare, Zimbabwe. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. Supplier relationship management was found to positively influence the adoption of information communication technology. Moreover, the mediating role of information communication technology on the relationship between supplier relationship management and organizational performance was also established. The study adds to existing supply chain body of knowledge as it explores the mediation role of information communication technology to supplier relationship management and organizational performance. The results corroborate earlier studies that focused on the relationships between information communication technology and organizational performance.  The study was focused to the packaging printing industry in Harare Zimbabwe, thus affecting the generalisation of the findings. Therefore, future studies on the mediation effect of ICT on SRM and organizational performance should be conducted in other industries in Zimbabwe and the Southern Africa region.

Abstract

The interaction between transport, land-uses and travel patterns produce diverse transportation problems in urban cities with traffic congestion as the most visible manifestation. Traffic congestion is a frequent phenomenon in most cities around the globe. This paper reviews the interaction between land-use traffic congestion through published literature. The objective of this study is to encourage and provide researchers with future research directions in land-use and traffic congestion. For this purpose, a systematic review was performed analysing 45 articles from the year 2010 to 2020 using a descriptive approach. Subsequently, the results of the study show that although the interaction between land-use and traffic congestion has gained currency in developed countries far less is known on this subject in developing parts of the world, though new evidence is steadily accumulating. Consequently, limitations of this work are presented, opportunities are identified for future lines of research. Finally, the conclusion confirms the need for further research addressing the methodological concerns.

Abstract

There is a noticeable dearth of empirical studies on the mediating role of travel behaviour on the influence of residential density on traffic congestion in developing countries, particularly in Zimbabwe. To address this gap, this study examined the effect of residential density on traffic congestion and delved into the potential mediating role of travel behaviour in this relationship. This study used data from a sample of 384 households in the Harare metropolitan province of Zimbabwe. Structural equation modelling was used to test the research hypotheses. The findings indicate that residential density and travel behaviour have a positive effect on traffic congestion. The results also established that travel behaviour partially mediates the relationship between residential density and traffic congestion. This study adds to the existing body of knowledge by providing an array of indicators that can inform policymakers in transportation and urban planning to alleviate traffic congestion.
