PurposeThis study aims to examine the relationships between various components of digital financial literacy, namely, awareness, subjective knowledge, experience, the digital legal framework and skills, and their influence on the adoption of cashless payment systems among university affiliates in Jordan. It also explores the mediating role of gender in this relationship. The study integrates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and social role theory (SRT).Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a cross-sectional survey across 34 Jordanian universities. Data from 418 participants were analyzed, focusing on factor analysis to assess the constructs' reliability and validity and to explore the moderating effects.FindingsThe findings illuminate that digital financial awareness, experience and skills are significant catalysts for using cashless payments among the targeted demographic. In contrast, the digital legal framework and subjective financial knowledge did not significantly influence cashless payment use. Additionally, gender differences emerged, highlighting a stronger association between digital financial experience and cashless payment usage for women.Originality/valueThe study's uniqueness stems from its detailed analysis of digital financial literacy's effect on cashless payment adoption in Jordan's academia, incorporating aspects like legal frameworks, awareness, and skills. It innovatively considers gender's moderating role, adding fresh insights into digital finance practices. Using the TPB and SRT, the research connects theory with Jordan's empirical data, suggesting strategies for education and policy. This work advances understanding of digital financial literacy in fostering a more inclusive digital financial system, contributing significantly to digital finance and behavioral economics literature.
目的 本研究旨在探讨数字金融素养的各个组成部分(即意识、主观知识、经验、数字法律框架和技能)之间的关系及其对约旦大学附属机构采用无现金支付系统的影响。研究还探讨了性别在这一关系中的中介作用。本研究综合运用了计划行为理论(TPB)和社会角色理论(SRT)。研究结果表明,数字金融意识、经验和技能是目标人群使用无现金支付的重要催化剂。相比之下,数字法律框架和主观金融知识对使用无现金支付的影响不大。此外,研究还发现了性别差异,其中女性的数字金融经验与无现金支付使用之间的联系更为紧密。 原创性/价值 该研究的独特之处在于其详细分析了数字金融知识对约旦学术界采用无现金支付的影响,其中包括法律框架、意识和技能等方面。研究创新性地考虑了性别的调节作用,为数字金融实践增添了新的见解。该研究利用 TPB 和 SRT 将理论与约旦的经验数据联系起来,为教育和政策提出了策略建议。这项研究推动了人们对数字金融素养的理解,促进了更具包容性的数字金融体系的发展,为数字金融和行为经济学文献做出了重要贡献。

PurposeThis paper aims to identify the factors influencing the adoption of financial technology (FinTech) services among Indian residents. Moreover, it compares the awareness levels among both male and female users to offer a comprehensive insight into FinTech adoption.Design/methodology/approachThe research comprises two cross-sectional surveys utilizing self-administered questionnaires: Study A involves 411 male participants and Study B involves 473 female users in FinTech adoption. This article used a “Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) followed by partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM)” for data analysis.FindingsThe exciting finding reveals that attitude and personal innovativeness have a significant impact, while technology anxiety shows a statistically insignificant impact on awareness in both studies. Surprisingly, the socio-demographic factor significantly impacts awareness (in Study A) and has an insignificant impact on awareness in Study B. Moreover, both studies reveal that awareness significantly impacts perceived usefulness and ease of use. Additionally, the outcomes confirm a positive relation between awareness, perceived usefulness, ease of use and FinTech adoption in both studies.Practical implicationsThe present research will offer valuable insights to all FinTech service providers and stakeholders, aiding them in planning and designing relevant policies.Originality/valueAs far as the researchers are aware, this study stands as the initial survey into FinTech that specifically examines the impact of gender on technology adoption. The divergence in awareness and adoption rates between males and females and the authors’ insightful findings illuminate the context's uniqueness. Moreover, this article offers a robust model for using FinTech services from the perspective of a developing economy.
目的 本文旨在确定影响印度居民采用金融科技(FinTech)服务的因素。此外,本文还比较了男性用户和女性用户对金融科技的认知水平,以全面了解金融科技的采用情况:研究 A 涉及 411 名男性参与者,研究 B 涉及 473 名采用金融科技的女性用户。本文使用 "社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)"和 "偏最小二乘法-结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)"进行数据分析。 研究结果令人兴奋的发现表明,态度和个人创新能力具有显著影响,而技术焦虑对两项研究中的认知度的影响在统计上并不显著。令人惊讶的是,在研究 A 中,社会人口因素对认知度有重大影响,而在研究 B 中,社会人口因素对认知度的影响不明显。本研究将为所有金融科技服务提供商和利益相关者提供有价值的见解,帮助他们规划和设计相关政策。原创性/价值据研究人员所知,本研究是对金融科技进行的首次调查,专门研究了性别对技术采用的影响。男性和女性在认知度和采用率上的差异,以及作者富有洞察力的发现,揭示了这一背景的独特性。此外,本文还从发展中经济体的角度,为金融科技服务的使用提供了一个强有力的模型。

PurposeThis study aims to examine the influence of board gender diversity on audit quality demand, considering auditor choice and audit efforts within the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries. It further examines the role of political connections and the impact of gender equality policy initiatives on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachFixed-effects regression models are employed in a sample of 1,822 firm-year observations for financial firms across the GCC from 2011–2022 to test the hypotheses. Moreover, the two-stage-least-squares and the propensity score matching methods are used for sensitivity analysis.FindingsThe study shows a negative relationship between board gender diversity and the demand for audit quality, reflected auditor choice and audit efforts. However, the study shows a positive association between firm’s political connections and audit quality demand, which is more pronounced in gender-diverse boards. Policy initiatives for gender equality show no significant effect on the relationship between board gender diversity and audit quality demand.Practical implicationsThe results inform governments, policy-makers, regulatory authorities and corporations by providing new evidence on the relationship between board gender diversity and the demand for audit quality, as well as the moderating role of political connections and policy initiatives in this relationship. To promote the meaningful participation of female directors in board decision-making, the findings indicate that gender stereotypes, both explicit and implicit, that can hinder female directors’ influence in board decision-making need to be addressed. Second, the study underscores for governments, policy-makers regulatory authorities and corporations that the mere appointment of female directors does not necessarily ensure their engagement in board decision-making. The appointment of female directors should go beyond symbolism and translate into meaningful engagement and influence with the board.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the corporate governance literature by offering new insights on the link between board gender diversity and the demand for audit quality. Beyond confirming a negative relationship between board gender diversity and the demand for quality audit, this study provides new insights on the moderating role of a firm’s political connections on this relationship. In addition, existing studies are primarily based on firms in Western countries and cannot be generalized due to differences in governance and legal structures. Given that the GCC countries have different cultures, economies, institutions, governance practices and norms compared to developed and emerging countries, our study offers a pertinent discussion on the relationship between board gender diversity and the demand for audit quality, as well as the moderating role of political connections in this relationship in the GCC countries.
目的 本研究旨在考察董事会性别多样性对审计质量要求的影响,同时考虑海湾合作委员会(GCC)国家的审计师选择和审计工作。设计/方法/途径采用固定效应回归模型,以 2011-2022 年海湾合作委员会金融公司的 1822 个公司年观测数据为样本,对假设进行检验。研究结果研究表明,董事会性别多样性与审计质量需求、审计师选择和审计工作之间存在负相关关系。然而,研究表明,公司的政治关系与审计质量需求之间存在正相关,这在性别多元化的董事会中更为明显。研究结果为政府、政策制定者、监管机构和企业提供了新的证据,说明了董事会性别多样性与审计质量需求之间的关系,以及政治关系和政策措施在这一关系中的调节作用。为了促进女性董事有意义地参与董事会决策,研究结果表明,需要解决可能阻碍女性董事在董事会决策中发挥影响力的显性和隐性性别刻板印象。其次,本研究向政府、政策制定者、监管机构和企业强调,仅仅任命女性董事并不一定能确保她们参与董事会决策。女性董事的任命应超越象征意义,转化为对董事会有意义的参与和影响。 原创性/价值 本研究对董事会性别多元化与审计质量要求之间的联系提出了新的见解,为公司治理文献做出了贡献。除了证实董事会性别多样性与审计质量需求之间存在负相关关系外,本研究还就公司的政治关系对这一关系的调节作用提供了新的见解。此外,现有研究主要基于西方国家的公司,由于治理和法律结构的差异,不能一概而论。鉴于海湾合作委员会国家与发达国家和新兴国家相比具有不同的文化、经济、制度、治理实践和规范,我们的研究对海湾合作委员会国家董事会性别多样性与审计质量需求之间的关系以及政治关系在这种关系中的调节作用进行了中肯的讨论。

PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of manager sentiment on the firm performance (FP) of Indian-listed nonfinancial firms. Further, it endeavors to investigate the moderating role of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and environment, social and governance (ESG) transparency in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachA noble manager sentiment is introduced using FinBERT, a bidirectional encoder representation from a transformers (BERT)-type large language model. Using this deep learning-based natural language processing approach implemented through a Python-generated algorithm, this study constructs a manager sentiment for each firm and year based on the management discussions and analysis (MD&A) report. This research uses the system GMM to examine how manager sentiment affects FP.FindingsThe empirical results suggest that managers’ optimistic outlook in MD&A corporate disclosure sections tends to present higher performance. This positive association remains consistent after several robustness checks – using propensity score matching and instrumental variable approach to address further endogeneity, using alternative proxies of manager sentiment and FP and conducting subsample analysis based on financial constraints. Furthermore, the authors observe that the relationship is more pronounced for ESG-disclosed firms and during the low EPU.Practical implicationsThe results demonstrate that the manager sentiment strongly predicts FP. Thus, this study may provide valuable insight for academics, practitioners, investors, corporates and policymakers.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to predict FP by using FinBERT-based managerial sentiment, particularly in an emerging market context.
目的 本研究旨在探讨经理人情绪对印度上市非金融企业公司业绩(FP)的影响。此外,本研究还致力于探讨经济政策不确定性(EPU)以及环境、社会和治理透明度(ESG)在这一关系中的调节作用。设计/方法/途径使用 FinBERT(一种来自转换器的双向编码器表示法(BERT)型大型语言模型)引入了高尚的经理情绪。本研究使用这种基于深度学习的自然语言处理方法,通过 Python 生成的算法来实现,根据管理层讨论与分析(MD&A)报告构建了每个公司和每个年度的经理人情感。研究结果实证结果表明,管理者在 MD&A 公司披露部分的乐观展望往往会带来更高的业绩。经过多次稳健性检验--使用倾向得分匹配法和工具变量法解决进一步的内生性问题、使用经理情绪和 FP 的替代替代物以及基于财务约束进行子样本分析--这种正相关关系仍然保持一致。此外,作者还发现,ESG 披露的公司和低 EPU 期间的关系更为明显。因此,这项研究可为学术界、从业人员、投资者、企业和政策制定者提供有价值的见解。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一项利用基于 FinBERT 的管理者情绪预测 FP 的研究,尤其是在新兴市场背景下。

CFO co-option and dividend payments: the moderating role of CFO talent 首席财务官增选与股息支付:首席财务官人才的调节作用
Pub Date : 2024-07-17 DOI: 10.1108/ijaim-12-2023-0328
Domenico Campa, Gianluca Ginesti
PurposeThis study aims to investigate the association between the co-option of the chief financial officer (CFO) and dividend payments, assessing whether the talent of the CFO affects this association.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical analyses were based on hand-collected data for 922 firm-year observations from 157 European listed firms, during the period 2013–2019. Empirical models, based on a two-step estimation procedure, involved the use of instrumental variables and the generalised moment method.FindingsThe results show that CFO co-option is negatively associated with the level of dividend payments. It was also found that the degree of CFO talent moderates the negative association between CFO co-option and dividend payments.Research limitations/implicationsThis investigation responds to the call for literature which examines how chief executive officer (CEO) – CFO relationships influence firms’ policies and outcomes. The study offers novel evidence for the individual-level characteristics of CFOs which are likely to reduce the effectiveness of CEO power and increase monitoring on corporate decisions on dividends.Practical implicationsThe study sheds light on the effect of the interactions between CEOs and CFOs, which are important for investors’ expectations.

本研究旨在调查首席财务官(CFO)增选与股息支付之间的关联,评估首席财务官的才能是否会影响这种关联。实证分析基于手工收集的数据,这些数据来自 157 家欧洲上市公司的 922 个公司年度观测值,时间跨度为 2013-2019 年。实证模型基于两步估计程序,涉及工具变量和广义矩法的使用。结果结果表明,首席财务官增选与股利支付水平负相关。研究局限/意义本研究响应了研究首席执行官(CEO)与首席财务官关系如何影响公司政策和结果的文献呼吁。本研究为首席财务官的个人层面特征提供了新的证据,这些特征可能会降低首席执行官权力的有效性,并增加对公司股息决策的监督。在这方面,投资者可能会对首席财务官的情况感兴趣,因为这可能会降低首席执行官对股息政策的权力。原创性/价值与以往侧重于首席执行官的研究不同,作者首次揭示了首席财务官作为关键决策者在影响现代公司股息政策方面的作用。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to delve into the complex interplay between earnings management (EM), the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) implementation and the reporting lag (RL) within the specific context of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, with a particular emphasis on the Saudi context, offering insights into their influence on financial reporting practices.Design/methodology/approachUsing a panel data set of 135 Saudi companies over an eight-year period, covering four years before and after the mandatory adoption of IFRS in 2017, this study investigates the Saudi financial reporting landscape. It uses interaction moderation analysis to explore variable effects and includes robustness analyses to validate the findings.FindingsThe findings reveal three key outcomes. First, they challenge conventional expectations by showing no significant impact of discretionary accruals (DACC) on RL, contrary to established accounting theories. This deviation is attributed to unique market characteristics within the GCC region, including family-owned businesses, government involvement and distinct regulations, with specific insights relevant to Saudi Arabia. Second, an unexpected positive association between IFRS adoption and RL in Saudi Arabia emerged. Several contextual factors contribute, including transition costs, compliance expenses, institutional dynamics and reconciling IFRS with local Shariah principles. Most importantly, IFRS adoption significantly reduced RL, especially for companies with high DACC levels. This highlights IFRS’s transformative role, emphasizes aligning EM with international standards for investor confidence and mitigating nonconformity risks in the GCC region’s business landscape.Practical implicationsThe research findings carry significant practical implications for companies operating within the GCC region, accentuating the strategic imperative of timely financial reporting to bolster credibility, align with international standards and fortify investor confidence. Moreover, regulators and policymakers are urged to consider tailoring accounting regulations to accommodate the distinctive GCC context, thereby adeptly addressing the intricacies stemming from the interplay of EM, IFRS adoption and RL dynamics in the region.Originality/valueThis study adds to the current body of literature by highlighting the significant moderating influence of IFRS transition on the nexus between DACC and RL. It underscores the crucial role of this global accounting framework in reshaping financial reporting practices.
本研究的目的是在海湾合作委员会(GCC)地区的特定背景下,深入研究收益管理(EM)、《国际财务报告准则》(IFRS)的实施和报告滞后(RL)之间复杂的相互作用,尤其侧重于沙特的背景,深入探讨它们对财务报告实践的影响。本研究采用了 135 家沙特公司八年期间的面板数据集,涵盖 2017 年强制采用《国际财务报告准则》之前和之后的四年,调查了沙特的财务报告情况。研究使用交互调节分析来探讨变量效应,并包括稳健性分析来验证研究结果。首先,与既定的会计理论相反,研究挑战了传统的预期,表明全权应计制(DACC)对 RL 没有显著影响。这种偏差归因于海湾合作委员会地区独特的市场特征,包括家族企业、政府参与和独特的法规,以及与沙特阿拉伯相关的具体见解。其次,在沙特阿拉伯,《国际财务报告准则》的采用与利润率之间出现了意想不到的正相关。若干背景因素促成了这一结果,包括过渡成本、合规费用、制度动态以及《国际财务报告准则》与当地伊斯兰教法原则的协调。最重要的是,《国际财务报告准则》的采用大大降低了利润率,特别是对于DACC水平较高的公司。这凸显了《国际财务报告准则》的变革作用,强调了新兴市场与国际标准接轨,以增强投资者信心,并降低海湾合作委员会地区商业环境中的不合规风险。 实际意义研究结果对海湾合作委员会地区的公司具有重要的实际意义,强调了及时编制财务报告以增强可信度、与国际标准接轨并增强投资者信心的战略必要性。此外,还敦促监管机构和政策制定者考虑调整会计法规,以适应海湾合作委员会的独特环境,从而巧妙地解决该地区新兴市场、《国际财务报告准则》的采用和监管动态之间相互影响所产生的错综复杂问题。它强调了这一全球会计框架在重塑财务报告实践中的关键作用。

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the association between chief executive officer (CEO) educational backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and climate change disclosure within Indonesian companies.Design/methodology/approachUsing data spanning from 2017 to 2022 from all publicly traded companies, the study uses ordinary least squares with fixed effects and robust standard error to evaluate the proposed hypothesis. In addition, a series of endogeneity tests are incorporated to bolster the robustness of the findings.FindingsThe study reveals that CEOs with a STEM educational background are more inclined to participate in corporate climate change disclosure compared to their counterparts with a non-STEM background. These results emphasize the significant role CEO educational backgrounds play in shaping a company’s approach to sustainability, specifically in the realm of climate change disclosure. The insights gleaned from this research hold valuable implications for various stakeholders, including top management and investors aiming to enhance corporate sustainability. Recognizing the influence of CEO characteristics, particularly a STEM educational background, proves pivotal in improving corporate climate change disclosure. Stakeholders can leverage this understanding to formulate and implement effective strategies toward realizing a company’s sustainability vision.Originality/valueNotably, this study stands out as it was conducted within the context of Indonesia, a nation actively encouraging nonsocial graduates to assume crucial positions within the Republic of Indonesia.
目的本研究旨在调查印尼公司首席执行官(CEO)的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育背景与气候变化信息披露之间的关联。设计/方法/途径本研究利用 2017 年至 2022 年所有上市公司的数据,使用普通最小二乘法的固定效应和稳健标准误差来评估提出的假设。研究结果研究表明,与非科技教育背景的首席执行官相比,具有科技教育背景的首席执行官更倾向于参与企业气候变化信息披露。这些结果强调了首席执行官的教育背景在塑造公司的可持续发展方法,特别是在气候变化信息披露方面所起的重要作用。从这项研究中获得的启示对各种利益相关者(包括旨在提高企业可持续发展能力的高层管理者和投资者)都具有宝贵的借鉴意义。认识到首席执行官的特征,尤其是科学、技术、工程和数学教育背景的影响,对于改进企业气候变化信息披露至关重要。利益相关者可以利用这一认识来制定和实施有效的战略,以实现公司的可持续发展愿景。原创性/价值值得注意的是,本研究是在印度尼西亚这个积极鼓励非社会专业毕业生在印度尼西亚共和国担任重要职位的国家的背景下进行的。

PurposeMotivated by concerns and the ongoing debate regarding auditors’ independence and impartiality, this paper aims to examine the impact of the financial crisis on non-audit services (NAS) provision and audit quality (main and robust variables) in the four largest Eurozone countries together during the global financial crisis (GFC).Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a time trend OLS model with a dummy variable as well as a baseline model with a dummy and control variables accounting for multicollinearity, considering the characteristics of the GFC.FindingsIt documented a positive (negative) relationship between NAS provision (audit quality) and crisis in four Eurozone countries, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, in the context of a baseline approach, supporting the hypotheses that there are higher non-audit fees and a lower audit quality. Moreover, it is revealed that NAS provision and audit quality behave similarly, using a time trend approach, during the GFC. Considering the role of the auditor specialization or not (Big4 vs non-Big4) in companies, a significant effect from crisis on non-audit fees and audit quality for the four countries under the baseline approach is found. In general, the findings persist for NAS provision and audit quality using the robust methods of the time trend and panel OLS approaches. Multicollinearity was not found to affect the findings of the regressions.Practical implicationsThe study provides important implications for firm managers, auditors and regulatory authorities.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, it is the first time that the impact of the crisis on non-audit fees and audit quality is investigated during the GFC with two sets of OLS models (a time trend OLS with a dummy and a panel OLS with a dummy and control variables) in four largest Eurozone countries together.
目的出于对审计师独立性和公正性的担忧和持续辩论,本文旨在研究金融危机对全球金融危机(GFC)期间欧元区四个最大国家的非审计服务(NAS)提供和审计质量(主要变量和稳健变量)的影响。设计/方法/途径作者考虑到全球金融危机的特点,使用了带有虚拟变量的时间趋势 OLS 模型,以及带有虚拟变量和控制变量的基线模型(考虑了多重共线性)。研究结果在基线方法的背景下,记录了四个欧元区国家(德国、法国、意大利和西班牙)的非审计服务提供(审计质量)与危机之间的正(负)关系,支持了非审计费用增加和审计质量下降的假设。此外,使用时间趋势法还发现,在全球金融危机期间,非审计费用的提供和审计质量的表现类似。考虑到审计师专业化与否(四大与非四大)在公司中的作用,在基线方法下发现危机对四个国家的非审计费用和审计质量有显著影响。总体而言,在使用时间趋势和面板 OLS 稳健方法时,非审计费用和审计质量的研究结果依然存在。据笔者所知,这是首次使用两套 OLS 模型(带虚拟变量的时间趋势 OLS 模型和带虚拟变量及控制变量的面板 OLS 模型)对四个最大的欧元区国家在全球金融危机期间危机对非审计费用和审计质量的影响进行研究。

PurposeThis study aims to evaluate the relationship between integrated reporting and management’s opportunistic behavior (i.e., accrual and real earnings management) and the moderating role of firm complexity.Design/methodology/approachData of firms at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange were collected and analyzed. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange is currently the primary exchange that mandates the practice of integrated reporting. Regression estimation models and robustness tests were applied to the analysis.FindingsThis study concludes that integrated reporting quality reduces firms’ accrual and real earnings management practices. It further concludes that the significant negative effect of integrated reporting quality on firms’ earnings management practices is impeded by higher firm complexity.Originality/valueThis study enhances the literature on the behavioral effect of a combined financial and sustainability disclosure practice on both accrual and real earnings management, specifically targeting South Africa’s listed companies – the primary market currently mandates integrated reporting practice.
本研究旨在评估综合报告与管理层机会主义行为(即权责发生制和实际收益管理)之间的关系以及公司复杂性的调节作用。约翰内斯堡证券交易所是目前规定实行综合报告的主要交易所。本研究得出结论,综合报告质量降低了公司的应计制和实际收益管理做法。原创性/价值这项研究加强了有关财务与可持续发展信息披露相结合的做法对应计制和实际收益管理的行为影响的文献,特别是针对南非的上市公司--目前强制实行综合报告做法的主要市场。
