The role of knowledge management practices in driving innovation: A systematic literature review in the Nigeria education sector
type: item
description: The education sector is effectively sustained by innovation, which, in many cases, is a necessary requirement for achieving global acceptance. This systematic literature review intends to investigate the role of knowledge management practices toward improving innovation in Nigeria's education sector. Following PRISMA guidelines, the authors systematically identify, analyze, and synthesize relevant literature published between 2010 and 2024 to highlight key trends, challenges, and opportunities. Innovations in educational institutions depend on effective knowledge sharing, technological integration, and leadership; however, resource constraints, poor infrastructure, and resistance to change inhibit the successful implementation of knowledge management systems. This study outlines the necessity for the strategic spending of knowledge management systems, capacity-building programs, and policy amendments aimed at stimulating innovation in the education sector in Nigeria. By addressing gaps in the existing literature and making suggestions, this review will provide educators, policymakers, and researchers with practical insights into how knowledge management could be effectively utilized within a sustainable educational development framework.

The timeshare business model and recommendations for sustainable tourism development in Vietnam
type: item
description: The timeshare industry has blossomed into a lucrative international travel sector and has gained popularity in Vietnam in recent years. However, it has sparked significant polarization among consumers. While some individuals staunchly support it, others vehemently oppose it, particularly within the same company, known as Alma, which operates luxurious resorts in Cam Ranh, Khanh Hoa Vietnam. This paper endeavors to delve into the root causes of these issues, propose potential solutions for in recommendation toward sustainable development. A mixed-method approach was employed to achieve the research objectives, combining surveys with in-depth interviews conducted with client groups sourced from Facebook community sites of customers. The findings reveal that Alma's Timeshare customers in Vietnam can be categorized into two distinct groups: those who purchase for genuine vacation purposes (2.3%) express high satisfaction with Alma's model, while those who purchase for work-related reasons (97.3%) not only express dissatisfaction but also harbor feelings of disappointment and anger. The utilization of manipulative sales techniques, particularly when consumers are still unaware of the true value and benefits of their purchases, emerges as a significant contributing factor. This discovery lays the groundwork for further exploration into the authentic corporate culture in the age of globalization, with the aim of mitigating risks and fostering sustainable economic development in tourism.

Development of a conversion interest model from conventional motorcycles to electric motorcycles in surakarta city
type: item
description: The city of Surakarta, a major urban center in Central Java Province, has around 391,000 motorcycles in circulation, contributing to an increase in CO2 emissions. Electric vehicles have emerged as a potential solution to reduce excessive carbon pollution. A technological breakthrough allows Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) motorcycles to be converted into electric motorcycles by replacing the engine with several conversion components, such as a Brushless DC Motor (BLDC), a controller, Battery Management System (BMS), a battery, and steel to replace the motorcycle’s swing arm. This study aims to integrate several research models, namely the Technology Acceptance Model, Theory of Planned Behavior, and the Norm Activation Model, which are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling. A questionnaire survey involving 100 respondents revealed that only 45% expressed interest in conversion. Environmental factors and the influence of close social circles were found to have a significant impact, as few people currently own converted electric motorcycles. Several factors contributing to this low interest include a lack of government outreach on the conversion process and the limited availability of conversion workshops. Additionally, the small amount of government subsidies further reduces public interest in conversion. Despite this, public awareness and concern for the environment remain high.

Emotional intelligence and job performance: A study of public sector management schools in Pakistan
type: item
description: In today’s dynamic world, higher education plays a vital role in the development of societies and in the socio-economic development of countries. In this context, many developed nations invest in the development of teaching faculty in the universities by improving their emotional intelligence and job performance. This research intends to construct a model for investigating the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and its key dimensions and job performance in public sector management schools of Pakistan. In Pakistan, there are 77 management schools with 1247 regular employees. The proposed model has one primary and four secondary hypotheses. In this proposed model, stratified random sample is employed. The teaching faculty is divided into 4 strata: professor, associate professor, assistant professor and lecturer. Data was collected from 305 randomly selected respondents from the target population through personally administered and officially emailed questionnaires in order to test the hypothesized model. In the study, regression model is employed using SPSS 2.1 software to test the hypotheses. Results shows positive and significant relationship of Emotional Intelligence with its four dimensions: Self-Emotion Appraisal, Other-Emotion Appraisal, Self-Emotion Regulation, and Other Emotion Regulation, with Job Performance. The research has addressed the existing gap on scarcity of research on Emotion Intelligence with its key dimensions, in the public sector universities and the management schools as a target population. Moreover, this research also has some limitations. The research findings have both theoretical and practical implications. In order to foster job performance, the study recommends the creation and promotion of an organizational environment wherein faculty members could share their workplace emotions with ease and interest.

Shifting paradigms: The examination of adolescent influence in Pakistani family consumer choices
type: item
description: Within the Pakistani family structure, decision-making authority pertaining to domestic and financial affairs is vested in the patriarch. Nevertheless, as time passes, a substantial change in the interplay of forces has been noted, in which adults, in addition to their parents, exert considerable influence in the decision-making process. Furthermore, the marketer recognized this delegation of decision-making power. The initiated investigation of this phenomenon was motivated by research findings that corroborate its existence. The study's objective is to investigate the emergence of adolescent influence in Pakistani decision-making processes. By utilizing a quantitative methodology, this study investigates the increasing influence of adolescents throughout different phases of decision-making and focuses on particular aspects pertaining to product selections within the family environment. The study posits that adolescents do, in fact, exert influence over the intricate web of family decision-making, which is consistent with previous research patterns. Nonetheless, a salient observation arises: parents maintain their authority in directing comprehensive family decisions. Given the absence of previous investigations in this particular domain, this study represents an innovative endeavor that sheds light on various facets of consumer behavior within the Pakistani context.

The role of human capital, structural capital, and relational capital in higher education institutions performance
type: item
description: Universities are the centre of knowledge generation; hence they are completely dependent on their intellectual resources. This puts Pakistan's private sector institutions in a difficult position at the moment. They lack all the intangible resources required for more efficient operation of schools; these resources often depend on intellectual capital (HC, SC, and RC), widely acknowledged as an intangible capital of higher learning. Pakistan's higher education system is ranked 150th out of 189 countries, and it lags far behind its neighbours in terms of research output. As a result, the main focus of this research will be intellectual capital as a crucial component influencing Pakistani institutions' success. The most recent assessment identified significant shortcomings in Pakistan's higher education system and offered potential remedies, including the addition of intellectual capital to improve HEI performance. The current study adopts a positivist viewpoint and a logical methodology. Primary data will be gathered using surveys, with the target demographic being directors, HoD’s, and deans of Pakistani universities.

Openness to experience moderates the effect of abusive supervision on knowledge-hiding behavior
type: item
description: Organizations recognize knowledge as a source of a competitive edge. Organizations have made significant efforts to improve the scope of information sharing among employees to improve creativity and innovation. Despite these safeguards, employees continue to conceal their knowledge from their coworkers. Further, leadership style plays a crucial role in employee behavior. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding behavior. Moreover, the moderating role of openness to experience has been explored. Data were collected from faculty members (N=309) from the different universities using questionnaires following a simple random sampling technique. The results revealed a direct relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding. Openness to experience was negatively correlated with knowledge hiding. Further, the moderating role of openness to experience between abusive supervision and knowledge hiding relationship was low but significant. The implications and limitations of this study are also discussed.

Formalizing the Informal Sector: Issues, Challenges, and Opportunities
type: item
description: The current research seeks the intention of the informal sector regarding transitioning towards formal sector. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of tax avoidance, high tax rates, complicated registration process, tangible incentive on the ‘willingness to switch’ to formalization of informal sector. This research is conducted at three main commercial areas Raja Bazar, Saddar, and Tench Bhatta of Rawalpindi city, Pakistan. Simple Random Sampling is used with the sample size of 230. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire with both close and open ended questions. Linear probability model is used for the analysis. The results show that fifty six percent of the respondents are willing to register their enterprises, however they require some tangible benefits for registering their business. Furthermore, seventy eight percent are of the view that people do not register because they want to avoid taxes. Fifty six percent opine that one of the potential reasons is high tax rates. Seventy four percent considers complications in the registration process restricting people to register their business, and ninety percent firm owners report that getting registered will not prove to be handsome bid for them. Therefore, it is proposed that taxation authorities need to step up its dissemination efforts in reaching out to the informal sector about the potential benefits of registering with the tax authorities. It is also recommended that formalization of businesses should be branded and incentivized.

A systematic review guanxi HRM practices, formal HRM practices to improve creative performance in collectivism organization culture
type: item
description: This systematic review study argues that guanxi HRM practices, as opposed to formal HRM practices, may improve the employee’s performance in organizations with a collective business culture. To substantiate this claim, three decade published articles; literature from the Sage, Asia Pacific, Taylor & Francis Group, and Emerald journals are reviewed. NVivo software was used for content, coding, and analysis. The results of this systematic review study reveal that informal term of guanxi HRM practices identifies positive and productive outcomes of employees in the collectivism business culture organizations in contrast to formal HRM practices. This study is useful because it also proposes that in the future, academics and HR managers can explore the guanxi HRM practices that adhere to collectivist culture in their organizational culture, particularly in growing nations like Pakistan, both theoretically and practically to enhance employee performance to meet global challenges.

The impact factors of China’s outward foreign direct investment in Singapore
type: item
description: The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic led to a global recession, but China's OFDI remained on a steady rise, attracting global attention. By the end of 2020, Singapore was the second most developed country after the US in terms of receiving outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) flows from China. The investment cooperation between China and Singapore played an important role in promoting the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative and enhancing the economic cooperation between China and ASEAN after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study delves into the influencing factors of Chinese OFDI to Singapore: home country institutions, host country institutions, and investment motives. This study takes Singapore as the research object and uses the data of China’s OFDI to Singapore from 2001 to 2020 to conduct an empirical analysis through a modified regression model to analyze the development of China’s OFDI to Singapore, so as to make contributions to: (1) providing empirical evidence for studying OFDI from developing to developed countries; (2) providing reference for investment cooperation in the post COVID period between China and Singapore.

Mapping the literature of social network ties in business and management field: A bibliometric study
type: item
description: In recent years, academics have focused increasingly on social network connections across different organisations. Social networking for businesses is a topic that crosses many disciplines, including social sciences, computer science, engineering, management, education, sociology, and psychology, so it's no surprise that definitions, methods, and approaches to social networks are constantly debated. Based on a data set of 3466 publications from the Scopus database, the goal of this study is to map the previous literature on social network ties of organisations to the business and management area. The data set was taken from the Scopus database to investigate the main authors, the number of publications, the most influential journals, the most used keywords and the top productive institutions and countries. The goal of this study is to map the previous literature on the social network ties of organisations to the business and management area. The most influential publications, authors, journals, and keywords are thus identified using four methods of bibliographic analysis, as follows: bibliographic coupling, analysis of co-occurrence of authors' keywords, and analysis of co-authorship (a) countries and (b) authors. According to the study’s findings, the USA is the most prolific country, having over 900 publications in the past five years, followed by China and the UK. The publication trend has increased over the last 5 years in the business and management field and will keep increasing because of the growing interest of researchers and practitioners in the given field. Knowledge-based systems are found to be the top productive journal and Hong Kong Polytechnic University is the most influential institution with the highest number of publications.

Gender bender organizational barriers and women’s career progression: Evidence from commercial banks in Pakistan
type: item
description: The study aims to investigate the effect of gender bender organizational barriers on women career progression in Commercial Banks in Pakistan. The Perceived barriers were gender stereotype, socio-cultural beliefs, organizational structure, family responsibilities and individual characteristics. To serve that purpose, specifically branches of all public and private banks in twin cities i-e Islamabad and Rawalpindi, were selected. Survey research strategy was adopted to collect data from 252 branches of selected sample. Convenience sampling and random sampling techniques were used to select sample of branches. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among the three clusters which are top managers, middle managers and sub-ordinate. Collected data was tested on IBM SPSS by using multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics reliability and correlation analysis. The findings indicate that gender-specific organizational systems negatively affect women career progression in banks of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The theoretical support was provided by gender and feminist theories and Gendered Organizational Structure (GOS) Model” and its three sub-models.

Macroeconomic determinants of multidimensional risk of Islamic banks across the world
type: item
description: Banking system crises and bank failures can have painful impacts. Being an Islamic Bank is riskier than being a conventional bank. As IBIs risk management emphasizes risk-sharing, conventional banks transfer their risk to borrowers. In our study, we have taken 4 risk factors which are Rate of Return Risk, Operational Risk, Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk, as a proxy of all the risks faced by IBIs and developed a Composite Risk Index using these major risk indicators of Islamic banks. Further, this study has proposed indicators like Size1 for liquid assets and Size2 for fixed assets, as in Islamic banks, there is no concept of money markets. The data for the research was collected from the secondary sources of Islamic banks’ financial statements, the EIKON database and World development indicators. The data for 96 Islamic banks were analyzed. The data was analyzed through Python, R and Stata. This study is instrumental in using the unsupervised machine learning clustering algorithm known as KMeans to estimate the prevalent risk level of the bank by aggregating four-dimensional risk indicators to form a single indicator. Moreover, the study explored macroeconomic determinants i.e., Asymmetric Stock Market, Real Business Cycle (GDP), Regulatory Quality and Economic Globalization of the Composite Risk Index and developed a channel via which it affects the risk level of banks. The results showed that in a country, better regulatory quality, higher fixed assets and economic boom in the business cycle play an important role in reducing the risk level of Islamic banks. This study provides a quantified contribution of Islamic banking to social welfare, compared to focusing on the numbers of risk indicators only and comparing it with fixed boundaries developed for the case other indicators.

Effect of herding behavior and overconfidence bias on investor’s financial decisions: A case of investment in crypto currency in Pakistan
type: item
description: There are various behavioral aspects that influence the financial decisions of individual investors, such as overconfidence, herding behavior, loss aversion, and regret aversion. Other psychological elements may play a substantial influence in deciding the success or failure of any financial action. The primary aims of the present research article are to examine the effects of overconfidence bias and herding behavior on individual financial decisions regarding crypto currency investment. The markets for crypto currencies are extremely sensitive to any minute or significant changes in the economy, as well as to any changes in the individual behaviors of investors. To achieve these aims, 650 questionnaires were distributed to individual investors employed by various financial institutions, multinational corporations, including oil and gas exploration and production companies, operating in Pakistan, individual investors dealing in stocks, and students regardless of investment size. Purposive sampling was used to choose 311 valid responses from a total of 593. Those investors that engage in crypto currency investments were deemed valid responses. Classifications of investments were outlined, and demographic information was requested from respondents. SPSS-based empirical analysis provided the basis for the conclusions. The primary findings indicate that both overconfidence bias and herding tendency have a favorable and statistically significant impact on investors' financial decisions when investing in cryptocurrencies. In this study's sample, however, the majority of investors were overconfident in their crypto currency investing decisions.

Role of international remittances in poverty alleviation: A panel data study of developing countries
type: item
description: Remittances are the funds sent by individuals to their home country from the host country and are the main source of foreign funding after FDI. Remittances are a crucial source of subsistence for the countries that are still in developing phase. Due to of the increasing scale and effect on the origin country, the international remittance flows into the developing country have gained the attention of numerous analysts from all over the world. This study examines the role of foreign remittances in poverty alleviation utilizing the panel data set of Asian countries, precisely nine developing countries. For the dependent variable this study uses poverty gap and the independent variables are Remittances as percentage of GDP, Per capita GDP, External debt as percentage of GNI and Trade openness as percentage of GDP. The findings reveal that foreign emittances have a significant role in alleviating poverty gap. The results of the random effect model showed that a 1% increase in international remittances as percentage of GDP leads to a decrease of 65.932% in poverty gap at $1.90 poverty line in the sample developing economies from 1990-2019. In addition, the results indicate, trade openness and per capita GDP decrease poverty and external debt seems to increase poverty.

Investigating tedium as a predictor of personality and techno-stress in school teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic
type: item
description: Being a demanding profession, teaching involves the intrinsic components of stress, tiredness along with sensations of inner uneasiness. This directed the current investigation which focused on exploring the predictive nature of tedium in reference to the constructs of personality and techno-stress levels experienced by school teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through a cross-sectional correlation design a non-probability purposive sample of 200 (including n = 92 men and n = 108 women) school teachers from private sector, with an age range of 22-57 years (M = 35.2, SD = 8.54) were recruited. Following the APA-mandated guidelines, the participants provided sociodemographic information and their responses to study variables on the Big-Five Personality Scale, Teacher’s Techno-stress Levels Defining Scale, and Burnout Measure. Findings suggested that tedium had a significant positive correlation with both neuroticism, and techno-stress, while a significant negative association with extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness. Moreover, neuroticism and techno-stress were found to be the positive predictors of tedium, while conscientiousness and agreeableness negatively predicted tedium. Gender differences indicated that women teachers reported more tedium than their male counterparts. The results highlighted the need to seriously address the factors responsible for the decline in teachers’ efficiency and competence.

Development and validation of headteachers' leadership behavior questionnaire (HLBQ)
type: item
description: The leadership behavior of the headteachers is associated with institutional worth. This study intended to develop and validate a headteachers’ leadership behavior questionnaire (HLBQ) to measure the leadership behavior of headteachers. The questionnaire encompassed two sub-dimensions viz: people-oriented leadership behavior and task-oriented leadership behavior as per Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid. After a rigorous literature review followed by focus group discussions, the preliminary draft of the tool encompassed forty-three (43) items on the five (5) points Likert Scale. Based on the content and face validity, the items with CVR values less than 0.42 were dropped. The revised questionnaire was pilot tested on three hundred and ten (310) public secondary school teachers employed in the school education department. The data were processed through Smart PLS version 4, which provided the questionnaire’s validity, reliability, and model fit. After deleting the unfit items, the questionnaire was further reduced to thirty-one (31) items. AVE values of the items related to people-oriented leadership behavior were 0.658 > 0.5, and for task-oriented were 0.686 > 0.5. Fornell-Lacker criterion value (0.828) was more than the correlations with other latent constructs, i.e., 0.811 and 0.831. The Heterotrait-Monotrait ratio (HTMT) value was 0.859 < 0.9, which is acceptable. Cronbach alpha for people-oriented leadership behavior was 0.967 > 0.7, and task-oriented leadership behavior was 0.658 > 0.7. Similarly, the composite reliability (CR) values for people-oriented leadership behavior were 0.970 > 0.7, and task-oriented leadership behavior was 0.963 > 0.7. Thus, the headteachers’ leadership behavior questionnaire (HTLB) was internally consistent, valid, and reliable. The findings of the entire study supported using the headteachers’ leadership behavior questionnaire (HLBQ) to explore and measure the leadership behavior of the headteachers.

Nonlinear effect of Islamic financing on economic stability: A Case of equity and debt financing
type: item
description: The main purpose of this study is to differentiate between the effects of two major categories of financing of Islamic banks on the economic stability of the selected countries. This study determines the nonlinear effect of equity-based and debt-based financing of Islamic banks to assess how the stability of the economy can be achieved. This study acquires the data on Islamic banking product-wise financing at a national level from the Islamic Financial Service Board (IFSB), and the data on industrial production index is selected from International Financial Statistics for selected countries. The sample size comprises of all the countries included in the IFSB. The data ranges from 2014Q1 to 2019Q4. The economic stability is estimated using the GARCH volatility approach, and the nonlinear ARDL model is used to determine the causal effect of Islamic banking product wise financing. This study clarifies the empirical relationship between Islamic banking equity-based financing and debt-based financing and whether macroeconomic stability is linear or quadratic in terms of the marginal effect of financing, which helps policymakers to constitute strategies for expanding the size of Islamic banking financing. The results identified the inverted U-shaped effect of equity-based financing types on output instability. At the same time, both financing types are not causing price instability. The outcomes are instruments for the central bank to optimize the Islamic banking financing structure to achieve the goal of product-wise financing of economic stability.

Predicting key reversal points through Fibonacci retracements
type: item
description: Anticipation of the key reversal points in trading markets is of key interest to the portfolio managers, investors, researchers, technical Analysts. These points trigger investment or divestment for investors’ holdings within the financial markets. Many techniques are used to anticipate these points. Use of Fibonacci numbers has gained significant importance in this context. The tools like ‘Fibonacci Retracements’ are available to investors; however, another important determinant in the value of an investment is the ‘timings’ within a certain time frame. This study aims to understand whether such a predictive relationship exists between the Fibonacci time horizons and the modern-day financial markets. For this purpose, two renowned indices i.e., Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and Dow Jones Transport Average (DJTA) have been taken as the population. Data of these averages, since their inception in 1896, till 2020, has been taken in to account, in order to remove any speculative sentiments, in the long run. The observation periods of data have been classified into daily, monthly and yearly time frames. Charting package, ‘meta stocks’ version 8.0 has been used to map the Fibonacci sequence against the actual reversal points placed on the data from the first day of trading on DJIA and DJTA. The results reveal striking similarity between the reversal points inferred from Fibonacci sequence, and the actual reversal points. The study concludes with a recommendation to trace this similarity against the technical analysis and charting for further investigation by the future studies. These findings are of significant importance for the portfolio managers, technical analysists, and researchers interested in forecasting the movement of the market index.

Mapping economic and social effects of Covid-19 in ASEAN economies
type: item
description: The emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic has created a perfect storm of crises in ASEAN member countries (AMCs). Before the Covid-19 crisis, economic inequalities were prevalent all across AMCs at domestic and regional levels and the majority of the population was confined to surviving on low and insecure incomes. The main objective of this study is to explore the economic and social effects among AMCs and how Covid-19 interacted with these effects. Our study indicates that stark and myriad economic inequalities persist among low-income and rural poor societies of high-income countries in the ASEAN ranging from wealth, access to healthcare and education services, gender-based inequalities, deprivation of basic resources and services, and asymmetry in employment and migration opportunities for certain groups. We predict that Covid-19 will exacerbate these inequalities consequently pushing marginalised and vulnerable people into extreme poverty and may further escalate health and economic risks. AMCs governments need to focus on developing an inclusive economic recovery process to strengthen the poorly protected social safety nets, address the gender-based issues and consider the inclusion of marginalised and vulnerable communities while developing health and economic recovery policies to mitigate Covid-19 impacts. Our findings provide a roadmap to the governments and policymakers scrambling for resources to combat the Covid-19 social and economic impacts.

Influence of absorptive capability on organizational performance of tier two commercial banks in Kenya
type: item
description: Firms that clearly understand their mandate are more easily able to understand their customers and hence are in a better position to create products that correctly fit in with the market needs and withstand competition. Most firms in the same industry operate under similar environments, however, the ability of a firm to understand its surroundings and take up the opportunities around it and at the same time minimize its threats within certain acceptable time limits, brings out to a large extent the difference between performance of one firm and the other in a similar industry. This study was anchored on the competitive theory as advanced by Michael Porter. A descriptive approach was used by explaining the data and characteristics of the population being studied. The study targeted a total of 64 respondents. This study did not sample the tier two commercial banks because they are few and hence a census was adopted. A pilot test on 8 employees was consequently carried out before this study. The respondents agreed that tier two banks strive to be competitive in the market and employees are encouraged to implement new ideas. The study concluded that absorptive capability has a significant contribution to performance of tier two banks. The study also recommended that banks should enhance customer retention to build their customer base.

type: item
description: The COVID-19 pandemic associated with health fear has severely affected Malaysia’s tourism industry. The domestic tourism segment is expected to have a speedier recovery than international tourism due to travel restrictions. Accordingly, the principles of Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and the government's role were utilised in investigating the Millennial’s domestic travel intention in this study. This study is a preliminary investigation in nature. It involves responses from the first 60 participants of the fieldwork being carried out for the actual research. The gathered data were analysed using the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique with SmartPLS software. The findings showed that Millennial’s Perceived Self Efficacy and (through) Government Intervention have a significant relationship with their domestic travel intention post-pandemic. Practical implications were then provided to the stakeholders in reviving Malaysia’s tourism industry.
