The involvement of Small and Medium Industries (IKM) in the national economy gives rise to challenges, including issues with human resource capacity, ownership, financing, marketing, and several other concerns about business management, hence impeding SMEs’ access to resources. Financial conduct pertains to an individual’s approach, administration, and utilization of financial assets. This study seeks to investigate and assess the financial well-being of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners in the craft industry, specifically focusing on their financial behavior and self-efficacy. The research to be conducted is explanatory. The Structural Equation Model with Sobel is employed as a mediation test analytical technique. The research findings indicate that financial self-efficacy has an impact on financial behavior. The financial conduct of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) directly impacts their financial welfare. The financial behavior of small and medium industry participants, or MSMEs, can act as a mediator in determining the impact of financial Self Efficacy on their financial well-being.

This empirical paper analyzed the relationship between project delivery methods on project performance within the Yemen construction industry (YCI). This research incorporated two distinct project delivery methods (PDM) namely the traditional Design-Bid-Build (DBB) and Design-Build (DB) and gauging project performance (PP) through the lens of the triple constraints (time, cost, and quality) as the criteria for measuring success. A conceptual model was theorized and operationalized in a survey of 375 project managers and consultants from two Yemeni governorates, Aden and Hadramout. The questionnaire employed a 5-point Likert Scale. Subsequently, the data were evaluated using multivariate regression. The empirical findings revealed a significant relationship between the choice of project delivery method and project performance. Thus, exerting a positive influence on project success. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge in two significant ways. First, by scrutinizing the dynamic mechanisms through which project delivery methods impact project performance. Secondly, offers valuable insights for decision-makers in the Yemeni construction industry (YCI) to plan their objectives and achieve the requisite project performance levels.

The study aims to investigate the impact of inventory management on the operational efficiency and financial performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Santiago City. A correlational descriptive cross-sectional survey design was utilized on a sample of randomly selected 314 participants belonging to the merchandising MSMEs from Santiago City. Primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaires analyzed using frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and linear regression. The results showed that MSMEs are efficient in inventory management, operation and have good financial performance. It further suggests a strong positive relationship between inventory management and operational efficiency and a moderate positive relationship between inventory management and financial performance. The study offers practical guidance to MSMEs on optimizing their operational efficiency and maintaining good financial performance through effective inventory management practices. It gives owners and managers valuable insights into specific areas that need improvement and the underlying factors that inventory management affects. Furthermore, the research deepens the understanding of the intricate relationship between inventory management, operational efficiency, and financial performance within the context of MSMEs in Santiago City, thus enriching the existing knowledge for researchers and practitioners.

The aim of this article is to analyse and explain why tax collection in Mexico is so low, as well as to propose some solutions to this serious problem. The work is framed under the deductive method, hermeneutic paradigm and a quantitative approach. Mexico is a country with a brutal income inequality, where the country’s tax burden in 2021 is only 14.7% of GDP (without social security contributions) when the average for Latin American countries is 17.9% and the average for Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries is 24.6% of GDP, a very significant difference of ten percentage points. In view of this, tax reform is essential, which in the first stage should seek to equalise with Latin American nations and in the second to come as close as possible to the OECD countries. JEL: H2: Taxation, subsidies and revenues; H3: Fiscal policies.

In an international context characterized by the dismantling of economic barriers, the globalization of monetary operations and the fluidity of financial movements, the application of IFRS standards is no longer a luxury, but rather an increasingly persistent necessity for Moroccan and international companies. In this context, and using a statistical analysis on SPSS, this research aims to assess the correlation between the quality of accounting information (declared in accordance with IFRS standards) and the financial performance (in short term and in medium and long term) of Moroccan companies. This quantitative research which uses a Likert-type questionnaire scored from 1 to 5, and through the responses collected from a sample of 314 individuals (composed of accountants, chartered accountants, professors, trainers, doctors and doctoral students), target to demonstrate and verify, statistically, the relationship of correlation and interdependence that connects between « the qualitative characteristics of accounting information » and « the financial performance ». The results confirmed a negative correlation « in the short term » between the aforementioned variables and a positive correlation relationship between the same variables « in the medium and short term ». In the medium and long term, the positive correlation between « the qualitative characteristics of the accounting information declared according to IFRS » and « the financial performance », will probably be a factor that encourages companies to practice international accounting standards despite the costs incurred to ensure this passage.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of workplace stress on employee engagement within Iraqi universities through the mediator role of leadership style. Work-related stress and non-work-related stress were identified as representing workplace stress. Employee engagement has been measured through three types: social engagement, affective engagement, and intellectual engagement. Two types of leadership styles have been tested: directive and participative leadership. the structural equation Modeling was used to test the study model. A sample of 245 employees in Iraqi universities, including university professors, was targeted. Only 214 respondents participated in the survey. The results showed that non-work-related stress is the most influential factor in employee engagement. Furthermore, it has been found that the participative leadership style mediates the relationship between work-related and non-work-related stress and employee engagement. There is one exception; participative leadership did not mediate the impact of non-work-related stress on intellectual.

As social media platforms continue to rise in popularity, they are quickly becoming an integral part of the retail industry, giving birth to the concept of social commerce. Bangladesh has seen a similar transition, with general commerce slowly making way for social commerce. This study investigates the role of brand image as a mediator between psychological perceptions and consumer behavior in the context of social commerce. The independent variables of perceived trust, perceived connectedness, perceived responsibility, and perceived competence are examined to understand their impact on brand image and subsequent consumer intentions to purchase and engage in intention to electronic word-of-mouth recommendations. The results of this study suggest that consumers’ psychological perceptions are crucial to the formation of a brand’s image, which in turn affects their intention in purchasing and intention in electronic word-of-mouth recommendations. This highlights the importance of building and maintaining a brand’s image in the era of social commerce. Furthermore, this study provides insights into the factors that drive consumers’ perception of trust, connectedness, responsibility, and competence towards brands in the context of social commerce. In conclusion, this study provides a unique perspective on the transition from general commerce to social commerce in Bangladesh, and the critical role of brand image and psychological perceptions in shaping consumer behavior. These findings have significant implications for marketers and retailers operating in the social commerce space.

Given the important role of HRM practices and knowledge resources for firms to pursue innovation, the purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of high-involvement and high-commitment HRM practices on the innovation capability of firms via mediating role of knowledge sharing. This study has developed a proposed research model and applied Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test proposal hypotheses using data collected from 211 participants in 65 Vietnamese firms. The findings of this study support the significant impacts of both high-involvement and high-commitment HRM practices on innovation capability directly or indirectly through the mediating role of knowledge sharing. Especially, the empirical findings reveal that high-involvement HRM practices induce greater effects on innovation compared to the effects of high-commitment HRM practices. The findings of this study have significantly contributed to increasing the insight of the link between specific forms of HRM practice and innovation capability. Moreover, it provides an effective solution for Vietnamese firms to pursuit and foster innovation capability.
