... the low-cost approach, organizations recruit customers by delivering a product or service at the lowest possible cost, whereas for the differentiation approach, they offer a product or service with especially high quality ( Reitsperger et al., 1993). These two approaches to developing a competitive advantage leads to three different generic strategies to achieve above-average results in an industry: low-cost leadership, differentiation leadership, and focus leadership (Porter, 1992) ( Table 1). When a road transport organization chooses low-cost leadership as a long-term strategy, the organization focuses on achieving the lowest production costs in its industry (Porter, 1992). ...Citations

... Further, the topic of safety culture been explored in a variety of different fields including road transportation (e.g., Grinerud et al., 2021), aviation (e.g., Goodheart and Smith, 2014), healthcare (e.g., Groves, 2014), and even the mining industry (Tetzlaff et al., 2021). To further illustrate the prolific nature of safety culture and perhaps explains the many perspectives researchers have taken, Glendon (2008) found that not only did researchers examine safety culture in different fields (i.e., over 14 different sectors) the researchers themselves specialized in different disciplines (i.e., safety, psychology, health, and management). ...
Those tasked with protecting soft targets, including organizations, have tried to counteract threats against them by increasing security, yet the effectiveness of these measures remains largely unknown. Organizations, researchers , and practitioners can gain a more holistic understanding of how, when, why, and where security measures are effective (or ineffective) by examining organizational culture. The purpose of this paper more specifically is to build upon the current security culture models (i.e., Security Culture: Hofreiter et al., 2020: Nuclear Security Culture, IAEA, 2017) to propose a more comprehensive framework and nomological network of physical security culture that can be applied to organizations and soft targets. This article reviews the current understanding of physical security culture. Further, this article looks to the more developed information security culture and safety culture literatures to better understand how physical security culture may impact security outcomes in soft targets. This article also explores multiple avenues for future research that is needed to understand how physical security culture develops and how to best promote it for the health, safety, and security of employees.
... In addition, another reason why vehicle insurance is an insurance product that is in demand by the public is because of the possibility of traffic accidents (Grinerud et al., 2021). Even if done accidentally, traffic accidents can still result in material losses for motorists. ...

This study aims to explore the impact of shared leadership on entrepreneurial orientation in Dubai commercial banks, and whether organizational learning ability intercedes the impact of shared leadership on entrepreneurial orientation. Embracing a quantitative research structure, information was gathered by methods for a poll based study of workers in Dubai commercial banks. In view of 330 usable reactions, the outcomes uncovered the critical impact of shared leadership and two of its measurements (uplifting inspiration and scholarly incitement) on entrepreneurial orientation. Two other measurements (admired impact and individualized thought) didn't add to entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, the outcomes demonstrated that shared leadership significantly affects organizational learning ability, and that organizational learning capacity thus influences entrepreneurial orientation. The discoveries affirm that organizational learning capacity completely intervenes the impact of shared leadership on entrepreneurial orientation. Various suggestions are propelled, the generally significant of which is that banks ought to improve and build up administrators' shared traits by preparing them on the best way to manage workers so as to expand their entrepreneurial orientation. Banks ought to additionally think about improving their learning ability, as this assumes a huge role in upgrading and supporting the impact of shared leadership characteristics on entrepreneurial orientation.

... To achieve this, it is necessary that leaders promote a healthy and productive work environment that allows employees to adapt to the variability of work and maximize their capacity for collaboration, communication, and support to achieve the organization's objectives. In that sense, proper management of preventive leadership is considered key to addressing the problem of the lack of a culture of prevention in organizations, often considered the root cause of accidents, occupational diseases, and pathologies, making its promotion essential [39][40][41][42][43]. However, companies are dynamic and complex constructions, and preventive knowledge has a transdisciplinary nature [44,45]. ...
... The results of this study coincide with previous studies that also highlight the importance of a culture of safety and prevention in the organization [5,16,17,[43][44][45], the need for leadership to carry out positive changes in the organization [14,22,32], and the importance of training and learning to improve safety awareness and prevent occupational risks [10,15,40]. In a similar vein, Da Silva and Amaral [54] examined the factors that contribute to success and the barriers that hinder the process of implementing and evaluating occupational health and safety management systems (OHSMSs). ...
Leaders that focus on preventing risks and promoting safe and healthy behaviors are essential to reducing workplace accidents and illnesses, particularly in a changing environment where technology and the complex interconnection of systems create emerging risks with unpredictable consequences for employee wellbeing and organizational productivity. In that sense, this multiple focus group study with 32 experts in occupational safety and health (OSH) aims at providing valuable insight into the most effective strategies for promoting health and productivity in a changing context. Results indicate that a safety and prevention culture is crucial for successful risk prevention and management, with commitment required from both top management and workers. Moreover, transformational leadership is identified as a key to achieving a safety and prevention culture. In addition, training is considered a pivotal mechanism to introduce appropriate safety practices into daily work routines. This requires an interdisciplinary, integrated, and collaborative perspective. Finally, integrating risk prevention into higher education prepares professionals to face current labor market challenges. These results can guide decision making for both training OSH professionals and introducing effective OSH practices in organizations.

During the last two decades, global market competitiveness has reached higher levels between companies operating worldwide. A situation that results from the new growing trends of globalization, the effects of the COVID19 pandemic on the whole world, and sustainability challenges. So, to maintain a sustainable supply chain in the current context, many enterprises choose to invest in logistic collaborations with presumed partners. Hence, logistic collaboration seems to be an efficient solution for companies willing to share their resources in order to reduce transport costs, CO2 emissions, congestion along with traffic accidents. 73 scientific articles have been collected and studied as part of a systematic literature review about optimization of collaborative transport and distribution strategies. So, this study aims to analyze the existing literature on this topic to find gaps and opportunities for future research. The results highlight the most to the less studied types of collaboration and trending resolution techniques used.
... Employers' organizations for national and international carriers, together with public authorities, establish (through social dialogue) how to carry out road transport at national and international levels, bearing in mind that legislation, policies, and contracts assign specific strategic, tactical, and operational tasks to public and private entities [32]. Although the transport sector has a considerable impact on safety issues, Grinerud et al. [33] stated that the way management decisions can affect the ability of businesses to develop an appropriate safety culture is related to employees living outside the physical confines of the workplace. Therefore, to improve transport services, companies must constantly improve the quality of training for safety reasons. ...
Sanctions should improve business compliance and mitigate the risks of non-conformity. This premise motivated our research and led to very interesting results for the trinomen business performance—transport infrastructure and local development strategies—public control. We used a customized Brunswik lens model to illustrate the decision-making process based on the interactions between the analysis of sanctions in the transport sector and the projected financial judgement, as we have traditionally understood and experienced them. We clustered 186,671 cases of noncompliance sanctioned by the Romanian authorities and created a chromatic map with accents on the risks of nonconformities. We employed principal component analysis to find patterns and correlations between faulty behavior in transport activities and the evolution of financial indicators, such as exports and imports. The ROC curve was used to investigate the credibility of a possible connection between transport sanctions and the development of regional exports and imports. We found multiple challenges that interfere with the projection of a trustworthy financial judgement in transport and offer insights and recommendations for integrated local governance practices and strategies aimed at mitigating the risks of noncompliance and promoting sustainable development in transport.
... Considering this study, secondary data on the vehicular traffic volume on the selected corridor was generated from the 12-h traffic count by the Mekelle Urban Transport Project (MUTP). As [28] investigation, interviewees from the road transport organizations, interviews with experts in the field were conducted for the travel-related challenges. Having this in mind, this study conducted participant observation, and executive interviews were used to gain insight into the activities of the identified traffic management organizations, regarding their experience and perception of the problem on Mekelle roads. ...
Road transport infrastructure as a major traffic corridor constitutes an important element providing accessibility to different land uses, and proper functioning of human settlements and urban development are incapable without it. Development patterns are concentrated in the monocentricity, so the traffic management system has to control, coordinate and supervise movements of vehicles at particular road networks where traffic conflicts are beholden. This study is aimed at impact assessment of monocentric urban core on road accident and sets conclusions. Purposive interviews, focus group discussions, and questionnaires were conducted as the data signify. Traffic count was conducted for three days (Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday) at peak and off-peak hours on Kedamay Weyane Street, Agazi Street, and Milano Hotel Street to understand the impacts of monocentric on a traffic accident. Findings and results signified that monocentricity with deficiency of modern traffic controlling devices and lack of strong traffic management system in the urban core boosted road accidents in the city. Furthermore, road accidents revealed from the finding in 2020 are as follows: death 11, Heavy injury 93, moderate injury 76, and Low injury 19. The structure plan of Mekelle city has a model on the polycentric urban cores development pattern. Though the structure plan of the city has a documented concept of polycentricity, it mismatches with the spatial proposed land use plan. Hence, this study disagrees with its discoordination, and recommends polycentricity with traffic management system powered by modern traffic materials, and public transportation as transport cost affordability.
