The objective is to evaluate how market orientation, innovation orientation, and entrepreneurial orientation influence bank performance, and whether operational efficiency strengthens or weakens these relationships. Explanatory research design was adopted, and 381 structured questionnaires were distributed to bank employees across various institutions, of which 360 were valid for analysis. For this study both primary and secondary source of data were used. The primary data was collected using close-ended with five point Likert scale and open-ended questionnaire and secondary sources were collected from previously done articles and books. The collected data was analysed by using correlation and regression models through SPSS version 26. Regression analysis showed that strategic orientation variables collectively explained 27%. The remaining 73% suggests that other unexamined factors such as leadership quality, regulatory environment, technological adoption, or macroeconomic conditions also play crucial roles.When operational efficiency was introduced as a moderating factor, the adjusted R² dropped to 0.057, suggesting that while the moderation effect exists, it accounts for only a modest portion of performance variability. Nevertheless, operational efficiency was identified as a key factor in mitigating performance challenges in the dynamic financial environment of Ethiopia. The study recommends that banks enhance their innovation capabilities and integrate efficiency-improving technologies to fully leverage strategic orientations. Future research should Investigate additional moderating or mediating variables (e.g., leadership styles, organizational culture, leadership quality) to better understand the complexity of organizational performance. Keywords: Strategic orientation, Organizational performance, Operational efficiency, Market orientation, Innovation, Entrepreneurial orientationItem Digital Transformation and Organizational Performance: the Mediating Role of Innovation in the Context of Hibret Bank(A.A.U, 2025-01-29) Fasika Anley; Habtamu E.

Most of studies show that there is a remarkable relationship between strategic management practice and organizational performance. This study tried to show how these practices affect the performance of organization. The primary data was collected through 107 structured questionnaire distributed to employees directly involved in strategic management process across seven selected Private Banks. Secondary data source was gathered from five years of audited bank reports and publications from regulatory bodies. The research used purposive sampling to select participants and inferential statistics for correlation and multiple regression analysis. The result of the correlation and regression analyzed using SPSS version 30 and presented as tables for analysis. By providing empirical evidence the study addresses a gap on how strategic management practices affect organizational performance, with practical implications for executives and policymakers seeking to improve operational effectiveness in this sector. The result of this study shows that environmental scanning and strategic formulation have strong positive and statistically significant effect on organizational performance. On the other hand strategic implementation and strategic evaluation and control while correlated, did not show significant effect in regression model. The finding demonstrates the importance of proactive environmental analysis and inclusive strategy development while showing constant gaps in implementation and evaluation process. These findings offer practical benefits for banks managers and policy makers who want to increase operational effectiveness and competitiveness in Ethiopian’s banking sector.

The study aimed to examine the processes of knowledge management (KM) and its effects on organizational performance (OP) with a mediating role of organizational learning (OL) in Addis Ababa and Haramaya universities. The study employed an explanatory research design. It adopted a deductive research approach by focusing on all academic staff of the two universities with a sample size of 354. The data was collected online using Google Forms through a questionnaire and analyzed using smart PLS version 4.1.0.6. The reliability and validity (measurement model) were assured using the appropriate validation techniques. Bootstrapping was used to test the significance and relevance of the structural model. The hypothesis testing outcomes reveal several key findings. Knowledge acquisition has a negative significant effect on organizational performance. Knowledge application and protection significantly and positively affect organizational performance; however, knowledge sharing and organizational performance show a positive relationship only at 10% significance level. Organizational learning acts as a partial mediating factor in the relationship between knowledge acquisition (KA), knowledge application (KAP), knowledge protection (KP), and organizational performance. Organizational learning has a full mediation effect between knowledge sharing and organizational performance. Furthermore, organizational learning has a strong and direct positive effect on organizational performance. This implies that while knowledge management processes are crucial, their effectiveness in improving performance is significantly enhanced when organizational learning is present.Item The Effect of Employee Engagement on Job Performance and the Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction: The Case of Ethiotelecom (Addis Ababa)(A.A.U, 2020-06-29) Desalegn Sewagegn; Lakew Alemu (PhD)The main purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of employee engagement on job performance and the mediating role of job satisfaction in Ethio telecom (Addis Ababa).The researcher employed Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the short version of Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) used for measuring employee engagement and Job satisfaction.
