20.500.12556/DKUM-90871 What drives the usage of management tools supporting industry 4.0 in organizations? The main purpose of this study was to examine how personal and organizational drivers influence the utilization of management tools aimed at supporting organizational working in Industry 4.0 settings. We built our research upon the recognized importance of management tools for organizational working under Industry 4.0 settings and explored the key personal and organizational drivers of management tool usage. Calculations were performed based on the responses of 222 employees working in organizations across Europe. The results revealed that, among personal drivers, a higher level of education leads to significantly higher usage of six sigma, rapid prototyping, outsourcing, customer relationship management, knowledge management, core competencies, and strategic planning. More experienced employees use significantly more six sigma, total quality management, supply chain management, knowledge management, and core competences than their less experienced peers. The impact of organizational drivers is substantially weaker, where only industry shows significant influence, indicating that lean production, six sigma, and supply chain management are used more in manufacturing than in service organizations. Gender, one’s position in the organization, and the organization size do not play a substantial role in management tool usage. Managers should recognize the role of personal and organizational drivers of management tool usage in order to more quickly implement Industry 4.0 principles in organizations. management tools personal drivers organizational drivers utilization organizations Europe orodja za upravljanje osebni dejavniki organizacijski dejavniki uporaba organizacije Evropa true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-10-01 12:00:28 2024-10-01 12:10:49 2024-10-02 03:13:31 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 1-19 Št. 10, št. članka 3512 Letn. 21 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-03-31 2021-05-17 2021-05-18 005.9 78117635 10.3390/s21103512 1424-8220 Nedelko-2021-What_Drives_the_Usage_of_Manageme.pdf Nedelko-2021-What_Drives_the_Usage_of_Manageme.pdf 1 326A0AADD604BFFAEF2C14573A1B34B8 44e22943cf30d77ba3eef752847b70d32a3b126294d36ccb5ace4968d8b14e53 453f8b7f-7fdd-11ef-a73d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186095 https://doi.org/10.3390/s21103512 0 fca44992-7fdb-11ef-a73d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=186093 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
