Abstract

Research Aims: The research aimed to identify the relationship between operational processes, supply chain management, and their impact on the quality of service and products in Quick Service Restaurants in the Philippines. It addresses a very critical research gap by providing empirical evidence on how these factors collectively influence business performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative research design was used – structured questionnaires were administered to 392 QSR employees and managers working in different locations of the Philippines. Data analysis used correlation, regression, and SEM for robustness. Research Findings: The research proved that sound operational management and supply chain practices improved the quality of services and products. Results were drawn and showed integrated strategies and process optimization in the supply chain drive customer satisfaction and business sustainability. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The research extended earlier literature demonstrating empirical relationships of operational processes and supply chain management with quality outputs in QSRs, addressing a gap in the Southeast Asian business context. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian Context: The results provided strategic direction for QSR managers to undertake technological adoption, supply chain integration, and process improvements to keep up with competition in the hyper-dynamic market of Southeast Asia. Research Limitation & Implications: Future studies may consider longitudinal research designs to analyse long-term effects, mediating roles of technological innovation, and customer feedback mechanisms.

Abstract

Research Aims: Few studies have taken into consideration transformational leadership's influence on employee retention via work satisfaction and organisational commitment, despite the fact that it has been demonstrated to positively affect organisationally relevant employee attitudes and performance. This paper fills this gap and looks into the serial mediation of these two variables in the relationship between transformational leadership and retention of employees in BPOs in Metro Manila. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative serial-mediation design was used, with a sample of 400 purposively selected respondents having at least 6 months of tenure. The PLS-SEM method was used to estimate direct and indirect relationships. Research Findings: The results showed that transformational leadership enhances job satisfaction and organizational commitment, both of which contribute to employee retention. However, the full serial mediation pathway was not statistically supported, indicating very limited effects in series. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The findings accentuate further how transformational leadership impacts employee attitudes, while also suggesting the necessity to look beyond for organizational-wide intervention for retention. Managerial Implication in the South East Asian Context: This study provided substantial data about transformational leadership. The study specifically pointed out that job satisfaction and organizational commitment are significant factors in retaining employees. The results give credence to the idea that organizations can reduce attrition and stabilize their workforce over a longer term if they nurture leadership styles that embrace empathy, communication, and empowerment. Research Limitation & Implications: Implications point to leadership training and improved working conditions as important strategies for ensuring that BPOs can sustain their workforce over the long term.
