The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) on work performance. A quantitative approach was employed to collect numerical data, which underwent statistical analysis. This approach involved the distribution of online questionnaires for convenient feedback collection from respondents. The study tested a set of hypotheses derived from a theoretical model of employee performance using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The focus was on understanding the phenomenon of GHRM among employees through quantitative techniques. Empirical results revealed a significant positive correlation between employee job performance and the five dimensions of green human resource management practices. These dimensions include green recruitment and selection, green performance management, green compensation and incentive systems, green training, and green participation. Notably, employee performance exhibited the strongest correlation with green participation, indicating that successful strategies aligning employee involvements with environmental sustainability goals enhance overall work performance. The findings demonstrate that the adoption of green HRM practices can positively impact workers' productivity. The study emphasizes the importance of prioritizing green HRM practices in businesses. The results suggest that integrating these practices can enhance employee engagement, job satisfaction, and motivation, ultimately contributing to improved overall performance. The article outlines the core components of GHRM and elucidates how each component can positively influence productivity in the workplace. Organizations are encouraged to consider and implement these practices to realize the associated benefits.

The objective of this study is to ascertain the determinants that prompt organizations to embrace the cloud-based enterprise research planning (ERP) system with the intention of diminishing closing time and enhancing user performance. In addition, it is necessary to construct a comprehensive model that encompasses the various elements that influence firms' decisions to use cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. These considerations include the impact of the pandemic, performance expectations, facilitating conditions, effort expectations, behavioral intentions, and the adoption of software specifically designed for cloud-based ERP functionality. The present study employed a questionnaire survey as a means of data collection, specifically targeting employees of ERP organizations to obtain primary data. The present study employed the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Technology Use 2 (UTAUT2) as the theoretical framework to establish the variable, utilizing Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The authors have indicated that various aspects, including the pandemic effect, performance expectance, enabling situation, effort expectation, behavior intention, and software (specifically, cloud-based ERP), have been found to have a beneficial influence on cloud-based ERP. This research study provides novel management insights that enhance the existing body of knowledge on cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Specifically, it examines the moderation model in the context of manufacturing enterprises located in Malaysia. There is ample opportunity to employ several theoretical frameworks, including the theory of consumer satisfaction. Still, the scope of this study did not encompass small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or industries in general.

This study aims to compare the ethical environment perceptions between accountants working in public companies and accountants working in private companies. The organization has experienced a decline in ethical values due to numerous accounting scandals and dysfunctional behavior. The institutional logic theory is used as a framework. The data was collected using questionnaires from 768 accountants working in public companies, private companies, and universities in Indonesia. The questions encompass three main factors, namely social norms, social practices, and outcomes. Hypothesis testing was conducted based on the mean values, standard deviations, and regression analysis. The correlation between variables was assessed using the Pearson product moment and spearman methods. The study results indicate that accountants working in public companies perceive the ethical environment to be stronger than accountants working in private companies. This study holds significant social and economic relevance. Assessing the ethical environment of both private and public companies aids stakeholders in developing governance policies that can reduce the potential for accounting scandals and enhance public trust. The study provides important insights into the ethical environment of accountants across the accounting profession. The study’s findings are perception-based and may not always reflect actual ethical practices. Several suggestions for future research are outlined in this paper.

This research investigates financial stability with earnings management practices in the normal economic time dimension, the COVID-19 crisis period, and the recovery period, as a form of competitiveness. Earnings management (EM) in research is classified into high, medium, and low, and financial stability is divided into non-financial distress, gray zone and financial distress. We classify Earnings management (EM) into high, medium, and low and further categorize financial stability into non-financial distress, gray zone, and financial distress. The purposive sampling method generates a total of 141 manufacturing sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2022 period. The study employed the cross-tab method for analyzing the relationship between financial stability and earnings management. The classification of financial stability was measured using the Altman Z-score category, while the measurement of earnings management was measured using the DeAngelo model and the Modified Jones Model. The results show that there is a relationship between financial stability and earnings management, where non-financial distress companies and gray zone ones perform negative (high) earnings management, presumably because they have greater opportunities to carry out the accounting numbers of companies that are financially distressed. During non-crisis or normal times, companies classified as non-financial distress, gray zone, and financial distress engage in positive earnings management, especially non-financial distress companies.

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of visual innovation design in brand identity with time-honored Chinese brands. Traditional design and innovative design are two inherent attributes of visual design for time-honored Chinese brands. Different visual design approaches have varying effects on brand identity, thus necessitating research on the impact of brand visual design on brand identity. This paper employs quantitative research by conducting a survey among 566 consumers from different age groups. The empirical results indicate that the traditional design of time-honored Chinese brands does not significantly influence brand identity, whereas innovative design does impact brand identity for these brands. This study highlights the importance for time-honored Chinese brands to pay attention to the role of innovative visual design in responding to changing consumer demands and addressing the issue of brand aging. Only by doing so can they effectively manage their brands and achieve long-term development. Therefore, it is recommended that brand managers or relevant departments of time-honored Chinese brands utilize innovative visual designs with elements of tradition during brand promotion to attract more consumers and achieve sustainable growth. This study also promoted the in-depth development of research on consumer culture, corporate culture, and brand cultural heritage management.

This research aims to determine the influence of tick prices on high-frequency trading on market quality in LQ-45 Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative approach. This study employed the Fixed Effect, Random Effect and Common Effect. The research data source used secondary data, with 37 stocks identified that met the criteria for High-Frequency Trading (HFT). The data analysis technique utilized panel data method. Three findings were revealed in the results of this research: first, it demonstrates a significant impact of tick price on High-Frequency Trading (HFT) activity; second, it reveals a positive influence of HFT on market quality, as evidenced by the metrics of spread, volatility, and risk-adjusted return. HFT activity in this research substantiates a positive impact on market quality, measured through spread, volatility, and risk-adjusted return. However, when assessing market quality based on liquidity, the research indicated that HFT volume and trades exert a noteworthy impact on diminishing market liquidity; and third, High-Frequency Trading (HFT) generally exhibits a notable impact on reducing spreads, even though its strength is not conclusively proven in the HFT volume test. The practical implications of this research offer insights into the positive impact of tick prices on the escalation of High-Frequency Trading (HFT) activity.

This study aims to investigate the role of social capital in fortifying resilience within Vietnam's SMEs, in the context of global and domestic volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity coupled with resource constraints. Employing quantitative data analysis, the research performs a survey of 500 SMEs located in three regions, including the North, Central, and South of Vietnam. Simple random sampling strategy is applied based on the list of SMEs. Questionnaires have been sent to the representatives of the SMEs management board after being contacted and confirmed the voluntary participation of the survey. Using the PLS-SEM technique, a variance-based approach is conducted. The findings demonstrate the positive influence of both external and internal social capital on distinct aspects of resilience. Specifically, external social capital significantly enhances flexibility and adaptability, while internal social capital correlates with agility, flexibility, and anticipatory capability. These results provide the scientific groundwork for effectively harnessing social capital to augment SMEs resilience in Vietnam. Understanding the impact of social capital on resilience offers practical guidance for policymakers, business owners, and practitioners in shaping strategies and policies to fortify SMEs against the challenges of the dynamic business environment. Furthermore, by contributing insights into the relationship between social capital and SMEs resilience, this research enriches discussions on SMEs development and resilience, thereby fostering sustainable progress in Vietnam.

The study analyzed whether the Naira note redesign matters for the performance of small and medium-scale enterprises in Nigeria. The study sought to examine (1) effect of the Naira note redesign on the performance of small and medium-scale enterprises; (2) effect of circulation of the new Naira notes on the performance of small and medium scale enterprises; (3) effect of Naira scarcity on the performance of small and-medium scale enterprises. The survey design was used, and questionnaire was administered to three hundred forty-seven (347) small and medium-scale enterprises in the south-east of Nigeria. Data obtained were analyzed using descriptive statistics (simple percentages, frequency count, mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, skewness, Pearson correlation) and inferential statistics (multiple regression). Findings showed that Naira note redesign has a significant negative effect on the performance of small and medium-scale enterprises. In addition, it was shown that the circulation and scarcity of the new naira notes had a significant effect on the performance of small and medium-scale enterprises in Nigeria. The study recommends that the government should implement currency revaluation and single exchange rate regime, as these would help in stabilizing exchange rates, and reduce uncertainties linked to small and medium-scale enterprises, improve competitiveness, and boost their confidence. Also, governments at all levels should invest in infrastructure, digital training, and enabling regulatory environments to encourage small and medium-scale enterprises to incorporate digital transformations and resilience in their operations, as it would enhance growth and development of small and medium-scale enterprises.

This research investigated the correlation between individuals' age, attitude, and practices in handling solid waste in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study formulated three hypotheses to guide its direction and utilised a survey research design. The participants included 1,106 individuals selected through random sampling from a population of 6,923 using a stratified approach. The researchers developed a questionnaire, which six experts validated, and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha method. Various statistical methods were employed to test the hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05, including simple regression, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and an independent t-test. The outcomes revealed that age, gender, and self-concept influenced solid waste management practices within the studied population. Specifically, males and individuals with a strong self-concept exhibited more active engagement in solid waste management than their female and low-self-concept counterparts. The data indicated that respondents aged 38 and above demonstrated the highest level of involvement in solid waste management, followed by those aged 18-27. Conversely, respondents aged 28-37 exhibited the lowest extent of engagement in solid waste management practices.

{"title":"Age, gender, and self-concept as predictors of solid waste management among residents in cross river state, Nigeria","authors":"C. A. Beshel, L. J. Asor, A. A. Ojong, P. A. Betiang, V. Ironbar","doi":"10.18488/11.v13i2.3693","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18488/11.v13i2.3693","url":null,"abstract":"This research investigated the correlation between individuals' age, attitude, and practices in handling solid waste in Cross River State, Nigeria. The study formulated three hypotheses to guide its direction and utilised a survey research design. The participants included 1,106 individuals selected through random sampling from a population of 6,923 using a stratified approach. The researchers developed a questionnaire, which six experts validated, and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha method. Various statistical methods were employed to test the hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05, including simple regression, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and an independent t-test. The outcomes revealed that age, gender, and self-concept influenced solid waste management practices within the studied population. Specifically, males and individuals with a strong self-concept exhibited more active engagement in solid waste management than their female and low-self-concept counterparts. The data indicated that respondents aged 38 and above demonstrated the highest level of involvement in solid waste management, followed by those aged 18-27. Conversely, respondents aged 28-37 exhibited the lowest extent of engagement in solid waste management practices. This study has valuable implications for policymakers, waste management professionals, and community stakeholders. The insights can guide the development of evidence-based strategies to encourage responsible waste management behaviours, thereby contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.","PeriodicalId":36330,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Sustainability","volume":"37 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
