Objective – The purpose of this study is to identify which factor has a stronger influence on customer satisfaction: perceived value or brand association. By understanding the influencer, the seller understands what policies and implications should be addressed to maintain and even enhance customer loyalty. Methodology/Technique – This empirical study uses a quantitative method and employs a PLS program to ensure a correlation between the constructs. Findings – The study concludes that brand association is a crucial determinant factor in customer satisfaction. Brand associations influence satisfaction relatively more than perceived value does. From the customer perspective, brand associations are affected more by salesman personality than brand image. Type of Paper: Empirical Keywords: Brand Association; Brand Image; Perceived Value; Salesman Personality; Satisfaction.

Upon joining a firm, employees often find terms and conditions of retirement. They work for a wage, proportion of which is deferred into the future as retirement benefits; only accessed after some regulations have been fufilled. This paper uses a descriptive strategy to examine how employees in the public service in Uganda respond to the retirement conditions (mandatory age of exit, and minimum years of service), while measuring response to retirement conditions in binary form (voluntary early retirement, and retirement at age 60). Using data on retirees from the Pension Department of the Ministry of Public Service, results show that majority public servants in Uganda positively respond to the retirement rules. Majority retire at the statutory mandatory age. Moreso, the female employees, teachers, those not married, and those in upper salary scale. Also, there is an observed sharp strike in retirement at10 on the bar chart, after clocking the minimum years of service, a pointer to the early retirement condition. Such a response, particularly, by the different socioeconomic states of retirees, has implications on labor supply policies in the country.

Retirement, if influenced by pensions, can be a good manifestation of how the government can use the pension system as a fiscal instrument to achieve some socioeconomic targets. Borrowing intuition from the postulations of disengagement theory of aging that when the elderly retire, they free up positions in paid work for the entry of young individuals, this study investigates the role of incentives on early retirement. The high levels of unemployment in Uganda amidst the Public Service’s retirement conditions motivate this inquiry by investigating whether redesigning the pension scheme would induce significant early retirement to address the challenge of unemployment in the country. Using both parametric (probit regressions for marginal effects) and non parametric approaches (difference in marginal effects given the baseline and simulated effects), results show that incentives embedded in the pension scheme do induce significant early retirement, a condition for creating job space within the public service. This implies that pensions are a good possible fiscal instrument for addressing unemployment in uganda.

Few economic issues affect people as personally and universally as housing. Yet despite the increasing globalization of housing markets, little is known about its political implications. This study investigates whether rising Chinese investments in U.S. homes influenced local voting in recent U.S. presidential elections. Building on theories of self-interests, sociotropic politics, and nativism, I develop hypotheses on the electoral effects of foreign real estate investment through greater home equity, improved local economies, and increased immigration. Using a series of difference-in-differences designs that combine a unique exogenous shock to Chinese capital outflows in 2013 with original measures of local attractiveness to Chinese investments, I find that greater exposure helped local home prices recover but reduced 2012–2016 presidential vote for the incumbent Democratic Party. Larger white populations exacerbated this negative effect while stronger local economies attenuated it. Contradicting predictions of self-interests, the negative effect exacerbated in areas with high shares of homeowners. Together, the results suggest competing effects driven more by nativist and sociotropic concerns.

We examine whether professional money managers overreact to large climatic disasters. We find that managers within a major disaster region underweight disaster zone stocks to a much greater degree than distant managers and that this aversion to disaster zone stocks is related to a salience bias that decreases over time and distance from the disaster, rather than to superior information possessed by close managers. This overreaction can be costly to fund investors for some especially salient disasters like hurricanes and tornadoes: a long-short strategy that exploits the overreaction generates a significant DGTW-adjusted return over the following 2 years.

This article aim is to study the climate of the organisation and its impact on employee’s performance. The employee performance is mostly depends upon the environment that prevailed in each organisation for instance positive encouragement and motivation at organisation leads to positive performance at organisation, negative climate leads to slow performance at organisation level. The satisfaction with organizational climate positively affects the performance and has negative relationship with turnover and deviant behaviour of the employees at work. This article intended to assess the organizational climate and its impact on employee’s performance. This study also investigated the level of climate which influences the employee’s performance. Positive or Negative climate prevailing in the organization are predicted and analysis are carried out. To achieve this defined objective questionnaire is prepared. The prepared questionnaire is used to get the direct responses from eighty employees. The responses given by the employees are analyzed and interpreted using the different type of statistical tools like Correlation, Chi-square and Anova. Employees are the main asset of organizations for delivering services. A work environment should be created where employees feel appreciated for their efforts.

The Alberta government is in the midst of reviewing its Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PDD) program, which funds more than 12,000 adults and has a budget totalling almost $1 billion. Despite numerous funding increases over the years, program beneficiaries, their families, advocates and service providers feel the PDD program still has many challenges to overcome. The review and its aftermath offer a timely occasion for all these groups to offer their input and make recommendations to help influence policy reform.

The study highlights the socio-economic impacts of the rural development projects that were carried out in the North-Eastern region of Syria among the local population. This analysis aims to evaluate several aspects; the personal characteristics of the beneficiaries; the activities created by the rural development project; the constraints faced by the beneficiaries which limited their activities and profit within the rural development project, and their propositions for resolving these limitations. The survey found that 43.3% of the beneficiary respondents are middle-aged, 47% can read and write and 35.3% have an educational qualification. Furthermore, 43.5% of beneficiaries are medium land holders and 62.8% own the land they cultivate themselves. Regarding the development training, 44.7% of beneficiaries attended development training, while 48.2% received vocational training. 76.5% of the projects are ongoing, and 98.8% of respondents said that the evaluation of their project was successful. Concerning marketing mushroom production, 78.3% had difficulties with marketing their production, and 90.5% suggested help was needed in marketing mushrooms.
