India had broken all the records and counts of confirmed COVID-19 cases per day and daily death toll reached over thousands. India is way far from other developed nations in the number of vaccine doses per 100 population. Although vaccination is an effective measure to be followed to overcome this grave situation, still certain misconceptions and rumors throughout the country have pulled a decent part of the population from being vaccinated. Another big challenge is production and supply of vaccines to meet the demand. COVID-19 pandemic will not end until the entire population gets vaccinated that would protect them from this deadly disease. Therefore, this paper aims at clearly identifying the factors and subsequently prioritizing them as barriers in effective immunization against COVID-19 in India following multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) technique. In this study, a fuzzy decision-making trail and evaluation laboratory (F-DEMATEL) approach is applied for understanding the contextual relationship among the barriers for effective immunization against COVID-19. The methodology is followed in a fuzzy environment to address the issue of uncertainty in the data gathered. The result suggests that the ‘Misinformation/ Misconceptions/ Lack of vaccine education in underserved communities’, ‘Lack of information regarding a vaccination center close to home’, ‘Difficulties in getting appointments’, ‘Supply chain issues in the distribution of vaccine’, and ‘Lack of access for marginalized communities’ are the important barriers in effective immunization against COVID-19. Recommendations have been made to overcome this situation and help to immunize the population and drag COVID-19 down to earth.

The effect of job stress on the proactive personality on their job satisfaction. Proactive behavior has significant importance in the selection and hiring processes of a company. Data was collected from doctors and nurses of different private and public hospitals and their private clinics. In the current study, a data sample of 392 was collected from different govt and private sectors and used the parceling item method for measurement and structural modeling for the best results. It is demonstrated that proactive personality positively correlated with individual job satisfaction.

The study was founded on three main objectives. The study looked at the direct relationship between market orientation and the innovation performance of SMEs. It also assessed how absorptive capacity mediated the direct relationship between market orientation and the innovation performance of SMEs. Lastly, the study assessed the moderating role of openness on the effect of market orientation and absorptive capacity of SMEs. Results were founded on 418 Ghanaian SMEs. The reliability and validity analyses were conducted before the actual path estimations Structural Equation Modelling in Amos (v.23). This study concluded that marketing orientation had a significant positive relationship with the innovation performance of SMEs, and the relationship between market orientation and SMEs’ innovation performance was partially mediated by the effect of the absorptive capacity of SMEs. The relationship between market orientation and innovation performance of SMEs could thus be direct or mediated through absorptive capacity. Finally, the study concluded that the effect of market orientation on absorptive capacity was moderated by openness. Market-oriented SMEs with an innovation openness strategy can achieve higher absorptive capacity. It was recommended that SMEs seeking to achieve innovation performance must invest in understanding the market in which they operate. This includes understanding the customers and competitors. The various units in the organization must also integrate to enhance the smooth sharing of innovation knowledge. Organizational performance measures such as innovation are very critical for the survival of firms in this age of COVID-19 pandemic when even giant firms are running into losses and folding up.

A good performance potentially creates competitive advantage for any organization. Performance is determined by the role of leaders who influence all members of organizations through clear directions. Likewise, employee satisfaction in improving the performance of an organization also depends on the leader. This study investigates the role of leadership and job satisfaction on employee’s performance. Sample of this research includes 160 employees in a public organization in Indonesia. They are analyzed by descriptive and inference statistics for the linearity and regression analysis. The results of the study show that leadership had a significant impact on employee’s performance and job satisfaction. They are recommended to be considered when performance needs to be improved.
