A novel coronavirus emerged in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and continues to spread across China and all over the world. Coronavirus is in fact recognised to be one of the deadly viruses as it has already taken the lives of many persons in almost all countries. This means that economic growth has been reduced considerably. More especially, it has almost shaken up all types of businesses including the tourism industry on a massive scale. Consequently, major travel organisations have temporarily closed their offices. In this perspective, the current research aims at determining the impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis on the tourism industry in India. A secondary research methodology has been implemented and the necessary information was collected to reach the objectives of the study. Major importance was given to government documents and the statistical data gathered from renowned and authentic data sources. The main objective of the investigation is then to understand to what extent the coronavirus has influenced the tourism industry in India domestically and internationally. It seems that such a crisis has in turn affected the economic scenario of the country generating a generalised fear of unemployment.

Data for the research was drawn from documentary evidence and primary interviews with municipal officials, elected officials and local citizens. The study concluded that though the municipality is conscious of the need for public participation in budgeting, the involvement of the public in the process needs to be improved. Capacity building is also needed to increase the participation of city officials, elected officials and citizens. This study contributes to citizen-focused service delivery in municipalities. It also contributes to the scholarly understanding of effective public participation in local government.

Commissions, for example, Zondo and Mokgoro, have revealed that public administration in South Africa is in a dilemma, because unethical and corrupt acts manifests among public office bearers. This scourge impedes government departments capacity to render public services effectively and efficiently. South African public administration is confronted by multiple obstacles such as the lack of transparency, accountability and efficiency. Government public procurement systems have become a breeding ground for corruption and maladministration. This article argues that a central neglected factor is failure to adhere to sound ethical conduct in the execution of public duties despite numerous government training and development initiatives in this regard in the public sector. Arguably, the new dispensation under the current leadership of President Ramaphosa needs to overhaul the functioning of public organisation, implement sound whistle blowing mechanisms to inhibit corruption and encourage public managers to observe good ethical conduct when serving the public. The implications of this study, therefore, accentuate good principles of governance which includes transparency, accountability and ethics, which are the key determinants for effective public service delivery.

The purpose of this study is to explore how employee motivation factors impact on the employee's desire to keep working in SME firms. This study primarily is based on raw data which are collected from 278 employees of SME firms in Bangladesh. Apart from adopting the quantitative method, the Smart PLS 3.0 and SPSS V23 were utilised for analysing the gathered primary data. Furthermore, we predicted ten hypotheses in this study. Our findings assure that a positive and significant relationship among working conditions, salary and incentive, and job stability with employee motivation is sustained which indicates a direct relationship on the desire of employees to continue working in this sector. This study did not find any conventional relationship between the behaviour of presidents and subordinates with employee motivation. This study further demonstrates that employee motivation does not mediate the relationship between behaviour of presidents and subordinates with the desire to continue working.

Blockchain technology features such as distributed ledger, decentralisation, smart contracts, and consensus mechanisms promise to trust in transactions. It could be beneficial to trust accounting processes. This paper, using theoretical analysis, reviews these features and examines if they could lead to the substitution or complement the role of trust agents such as legal firms, lawyers, accountants or auditors, and even regulatory authorities. The investigation shows that while blockchain presents novel features that are key to enhancing trust, the technology can only complement that trust accounting process, due to the technical skills required. At the same time, the paper discusses the relationship between trust and intermediaries. Future investigations could analyse the relationship between faith and technology, considering practitioners' view.
