Sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) is crucial in achieving the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, many micro-, small- and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Malaysia are still considered conventional businesses; therefore, it is necessary to transform them into sustainable enterprises. The initial step is to build up their intention towards SE. However, studies pertaining to SE intention are still considered low. Therefore, this study examined the influence of institutional factors on SE intention among Malaysian MSMEs. The institutional model was employed in identifying the influencing factors, namely governmental actions, social norms, and time orientation. A quantitative research method was employed. The sample was selected using proportionate stratified sampling. A total of 342 owner-managers of manufacturing MSMEs were surveyed using an online self-administered questionnaire. The collected data was analyzed through partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that governmental actions, social norms, and time orientation were significant in influencing SE intention positively. It could be concluded that components in the institutional model should not be neglected in fostering SE intention. This study shed light on the applicability of institutional theory in studying SE intention and pointed out the crucial factors that should be taken into consideration when encouraging MSMEs to embark on SE.
可持续创业（SE）对于实现 17 项可持续发展目标（SDGs）至关重要。然而，马来西亚的许多微型、小型和中型企业（MSMEs）仍被视为传统企业；因此，有必要将它们转变为可持续企业。第一步是建立他们对可持续企业的意向。然而，有关可持续企业意向的研究仍然较少。因此，本研究探讨了制度因素对马来西亚中小微企业可持续发展意向的影响。研究采用了制度模型来确定影响因素，即政府行为、社会规范和时间导向。研究采用了定量研究方法。样本采用比例分层抽样法选出。使用在线自填问卷调查了 342 家制造业中小微企业的所有者和管理者。收集到的数据通过偏最小二乘法-结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）进行分析。结果表明，政府行为、社会规范和时间导向对 SE 意向有显著的积极影响。由此可以得出结论，在促进 SE 意向的过程中，不应忽视制度模型中的组成部分。本研究阐明了制度理论在研究企业创新意向中的适用性，并指出了在鼓励中小微企业开展企业创新时应考虑的关键因素。

E-commerce has become an integral part of people's daily lives due to the extensive use of the Internet. Moreover, customers' positive emotions are the good feelings that a person has because of their mood or good circumstances. These can include happiness, love, liking, pleasure, or joy. This study proposes to provide an analytical framework that includes factors (sales promotion, hedonic shopping motivation, and personalization) that affect positive emotions, which in turn affects the customers' intentions to make purchases and their actual behavior within the context of e-commerce platforms. This study used the cognitive emotion theory and emotion-action tendency connection as a theoretical framework. Convenience sampling was used in an online survey to collect data from 294 clients. The findings discovered that consumers' positive emotions in e-commerce platforms in Vietnam were affected favorably by key factors such as sales promotion (β = 0.502), hedonic shopping motivation (β = 0.217), and personalization (β = 0.207). Out of these factors, sales promotion (β = 0.502) was found to have the most favorable impact on customers' pleasant feelings. In the same way, customers' pleasant emotions (β = 0.758) had a strong positive influence on their inclination to shop. Furthermore, their shopping intention (β = 0.822) also had a considerable positive influence on their behavior. The study's results may help online retailers fully understand the determinants that affect customers' pleasant feelings, shopping intentions, and behavior. With this knowledge, online stores will be able to improve how they sell products.

The migration of medical staff results in the diminution of human resources in the health sector, undermining the capacity of developing countries' health systems to provide medical services equitably. Various factors, such as economic, professional, political, social, or personal considerations, contribute to the decision of health workers to emigrate. This paper's primary objective is to analyze the prevailing trends in the migration flows and stocks of physicians and nurses, with a focus on identifying the principal pull factors of migration. The preferred destination countries for Romanian health professionals include the UK, Germany, France, and Italy. Notably, Germany stands out as a leader in health care professionals' migration flows, characterized by two distinct migration periods: the first featuring exceptionally high levels of physician migration and the second marked by increasing levels of nurses' migration. Through panel data regression analysis, we have established that the pull factors for physicians differ from those for nurses. For physicians, the presence of a Romanian community of health professionals in the destination countries is crucial, whereas for nurses, the development level of the destination country holds top importance.

Consolidating strategies in the banking sector to reduce the impact of resistance barriers to technological innovation can bring brands closer to older people, thus reinforcing the brand value of banking institutions; therefore, the objective of this research was to identify the incidence of resistance barriers to technological innovation on the dimensions of brand equity in the banking sector by elderly people. For this purpose, a descriptive correlational study was developed with 502 elderly people living in the city of Bogotá, Colombia, aged between 60 and 80 years old. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire applied in person, which was adjusted and validated based on the information obtained. The questionnaire assessed brand equity components of brand image and awareness, brand associations, perceived quality and performance, and brand loyalty, and included items to assess psychological and functional barriers. A confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were developed for the different barriers of resistance to technology and for the dimensions of brand equity, identifying that the different types of resistance to innovation affect only the dimensions of brand awareness and brand importance. The results lead to the conclusion that elderly people experience different barriers to using the technological applications of their banking products and that the design of these applications must consider them in order to achieve or maintain brand recognition in this segment, as well as to achieve true financial inclusion for elderly people.

The Greek economic crisis produced severe economic and social outcomes. A massive rescue package was conditional on implementing a Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies agreed upon between the Greek government and the EU, European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. The extremely austere fiscal consolidation and the structural reforms accompanying the Greek Economic Adjustment Programmes reduced the country’s GDP. Implementing the austerity policies on the Greek National Health System, which was already facing structural problems, reduced the quality and availability of public health care services. This paper investigates the impact of the GDP change on public healthcare expenditures (HCE) from 2000 to 2018. The empirical analysis reveals a statistically significant positive correlation between the GDP per capita and public healthcare expenditure (HCE) from 2000 to 2014 while the effect of GDP on HCE after the 2015 remains unchanged. This paper contributes to the field’s literature since it determines the impact of GDP on public HCE, specifically matched with empirical results to derive conclusive answers.
希腊经济危机造成了严重的经济和社会后果。希腊政府与欧盟、欧洲中央银行和国际货币基金组织达成了《经济和金融政策备忘录》，并以执行该备忘录为条件，提出了大规模的一揽子救援计划。与希腊经济调整方案相配套的极度紧缩的财政整顿和结构改革降低了该国的国内生产总值。希腊国家医疗系统本已面临结构性问题，紧缩政策的实施降低了公共医疗服务的质量和可用性。本文研究了 2000 年至 2018 年国内生产总值变化对公共医疗支出（HCE）的影响。实证分析表明，2000 年至 2014 年期间，人均 GDP 与公共医疗支出（HCE）之间存在统计学意义上的显著正相关关系，而 2015 年之后，GDP 对 HCE 的影响保持不变。本文确定了 GDP 对公共医疗支出的影响，并与实证结果进行了具体匹配，从而得出了结论性的答案，为该领域的文献做出了贡献。

Bullying, harassment, and sexual harassment in the workplace are not new issues; they have always existed in various forms. Recent studies have highlighted their impacts on workers and their well-being at work. However, the perception of these problems differ across the United States, Europe, and Asia. These differences are reflected not only in terms of sensitivities, workplace policies, and relevant laws, but also in the language/vocabulary used to designate the same. Psychological harassment is a bitter issue for many who are affected by it. Unfortunately, it remains a less popular topic in academic research. This may be due to the sensitivity associated with the topic, the possible shame and value judgements of those involved, and the myriad cultural differences that complicate its perceptions. This study deals with the characteristics of psychological harassment in workplaces across Hungary and Slovakia. It addresses the following questions: How are the sources of psychological bullying perceived in the two countries, how do victims tolerate the abuse they are subjected to, and what factors influence the same. The study also examines whether the company’s tools for combating psychological bullying in the workplace have an impact on an employee’s decision to leave the organization as a result of mobbing. It conducted quantitative surveys involving 500 Hungarian and 108 Slovakian employees. The results were analyzed by the authors using SPSS version 28 with univariate and multivariate statistical methods. Frequency analysis, ANOVA, T- test and factor analysis, among others, were performed. The results show that the perception of the sources of psychological bullying and the tolerance of the related phenomena depend on a number of personal factors. However, the tools that firms use to deal with mobbing do not necessarily play a determining role in an employee’s decision to leave their workplace following psychological harassment.

This study develops and confirms a model that examines the relationship between Big Data Analytics Capabilities (BDAC), Blockchain Technology (BT), and Internationalization Process (IP). It also requires various efforts to explore how Dynamic Accounting Information System Capability (DAISC) mediates the interconnections between BDAC, BT, and IP. This study focuses on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam, which are widely recognized as crucial to the Vietnamese economy. The current research utilized the hypothetico-deductive method. The proposed model's hypothesized linkages were based on a comprehensive evaluation of relevant literature and investigations. The statistics database was created using a paper-and-pencil survey distributed to 612 accountants in SMEs in southern Vietnam utilizing the convenient and snowball sampling technique. A covariance-based structural equation modelling approach was used to assess the measurement and structural models in this research due to its ability to offer a strong foundation for analyzing intricate linkages within a research framework. The outcome confirmed the significant and positive relationships between BDAC, BT, and IP. Concurrently, these relationships were partially influenced by DAISC. The practitioners would greatly benefit from detailed insights on the findings, as they would provide guidance on how to identify and take advantage of the growth opportunities afforded by digital technology. Moreover, the observations could provide policymakers with new insights on necessary policy measures to support the application of digital technologies and encourage the implementation of a dynamic accounting information system, which could result in significant benefits in the future.

Sustainable Development Goal 8 on decent work for all combines social, economic, and environmental objectives. Yet the significance of Goal 8 and other goals of the United Nations is receiving less attention in Africa. More so due to the dynamic character of the environment in the modern era, particularly post-COVID-19 pandemic businesses are faced with a variety of obstacles and employee dissatisfaction is increasing in the workplace. Therefore this study investigates the effects of the workplace environment on employee job satisfaction in selected listed banks and their role in achieving SDGs in Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa and the largest economy. This investigation utilized a survey research design. For this study, three (3) out of the twelve(12) banks listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange(Nigeria Exchange Group) as of 31st July 2023 were selected from the population. A total of 495 copies of the questionnaire were distributed using Google Forms, and a response rate of one hundred per cent was attained. Findings showed that workplace environment had a significant and positive effect on employee job satisfaction. The findings revealed that workplace environment had a significant effect on employee job satisfaction of selected listed banks in Nigeria.
