This paper aims to examine the influence of FinTech, Crowdfunding, and Information Technology (IT) on Nonprofit Organizations (NPOs). The literature supported that NPOs increasingly utilize FinTech, Crowdfunding, and IT services to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Web-based Services and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) are deployed to assess the impact of FinTech, Crowdfunding, and IT on NPOs. The TAM model was a valuable predictor of NPO acceptance and utilization of these technologies. The economic and social impact of innovative technology is significant. Fintech influences the development of digital transformation. Fintech offers alternative financing methods for nonprofit organizations through crowdfunding. By standardizing information, reducing transaction costs, and spreading the risk among several funders, online crowdfunding increase and diversify opportunities offered to donors.
本文旨在研究金融科技、众筹和信息技术对非营利组织的影响。文献支持非营利组织越来越多地利用金融科技、众筹和IT服务来提高效率和效益。采用基于网络的服务和技术接受模型(TAM)来评估金融科技、众筹和IT对非营利组织的影响。TAM模型是NPO接受和利用这些技术的一个有价值的预测器。创新技术的经济和社会影响是显著的。金融科技影响着数字化转型的发展。金融科技通过众筹为非营利组织提供了另一种融资方式。通过信息标准化,降低交易成本,并在几个资助者之间分散风险,在线众筹增加并多样化了为捐助者提供的机会。

Quiet Quitting – Implications for Asian Businesses 悄悄辞职——对亚洲企业的启示
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-08-01 DOI: 10.14707/ajbr.230153
Jenna Campton, Aaron Tham, Hiram Ting
Quiet quitting has emerged as an area of concern for businesses and societies in the wake of the ‘Great Resignation’ following COVID-19. While there is an emerging body of work surrounding the motivations of quiet quitting as a rejection of being enslaved to one’s work, little is known as to the implications of this phenomenon on Asian businesses. This viewpoint provides an overview of the literature to date and explores the steps Asian businesses should take to address potential quiet quitting proclivities among the existing and future workforce. In particular, businesses need to consider how COVID-19 has changed the landscape of work and generated psychological stresses among employees working from home, who have had to deal with their professional and private lives concurrently (Liu 2023). To combat quiet quitting in this new era, it is imperative to rethink work cultures, with an emphasis on facilitating greater autonomy in how work is performed (where applicable) and accordingly re-evaluating employment contracts.
在2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)后的“大辞职”之后,悄然辞职已成为企业和社会关注的一个领域。尽管越来越多的研究围绕着“安静辞职”的动机展开,认为这是拒绝被工作奴役,但人们对这种现象对亚洲企业的影响知之甚少。这一观点概述了迄今为止的文献,并探讨了亚洲企业应采取的措施,以解决现有和未来劳动力中潜在的隐性辞职倾向。特别是,企业需要考虑COVID-19如何改变了工作环境,并在在家工作的员工中产生了心理压力,他们不得不同时处理他们的职业和私人生活(Liu 2023)。在这个新时代,为了打击悄然辞职,必须重新思考工作文化,重点是在工作方式上(在适用的情况下)提供更大的自主权,并相应地重新评估雇佣合同。

The study aims to examine the factors impelling young adults’ intention to use electric bikes (EB) to promote sustainable transportation in India. In this research, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model is extended with environmental knowledge (EKL), environmental concern (ECN), and government policy support (GPS) to understand the intention to use (ITU) of young adults on electric bikes. Using a stratified random sampling technique, the survey was conducted among 354 electric bike users across major cities from Tamil Nadu, India. The PLS-SEM was used to analyze the conceptual model of the research. The findings of the research support that ECN, EKL, and GPS have a significant positive direct influence on young adults’ attitude (ATT) and an indirect effect on the intention to use (ITU) e-bikes. Among the three mediating variables, ATT and SJN mediate the relationship between ECN, EKL, and GPS on ATT and ITU of e-bikes. The study offered insightful recommendations to broaden the scope of research on electric bike sellers and manufacturers to plan sales and marketing strategies, for the government to make policy decisions, and ultimately to increase consumer interest in sustainable transportation.
该研究旨在调查促使印度年轻人使用电动自行车(EB)的因素,以促进印度的可持续交通。本研究将计划行为理论(TPB)模型扩展到环境知识(EKL)、环境关注(ECN)和政府政策支持(GPS),以了解年轻人骑电动自行车的使用意图(ITU)。该调查采用分层随机抽样技术,对印度泰米尔纳德邦主要城市的354名电动自行车使用者进行了调查。利用PLS-SEM对研究的概念模型进行了分析。研究结果支持ECN、EKL和GPS对年轻人的电动自行车态度(ATT)有显著的正向直接影响,对使用意愿(ITU)有间接影响。在三个中介变量中,ATT和SJN在ECN、EKL和GPS对电动自行车ATT和ITU的影响中起中介作用。该研究为扩大电动自行车销售商和制造商的研究范围以规划销售和营销策略,为政府制定政策决策提供了有见解的建议,最终提高消费者对可持续交通的兴趣。

Unboxing SERVQUAL: SQuID Inside! 开箱SERVQUAL:鱿鱼里面!
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-08-01 DOI: 10.14707/ajbr.230149
Sihar Tigor Benjamin Tambunan
Maps based on bibliographic data of 50 of 264 keywords in 111 papers show that service quality, SERVQUAL, and customer satisfaction are the most popular topics in service management research. The discussion about costs are relatively minimal and is not directly related to SERVQUAL but to service quality and customer satisfaction. This empirical evidence is interesting, given that cost is an intrinsic element of service quality that is much more measurable and controllable in practice. The logical relationship between price, cost, activity, and service quality was studied to find the possibility of placing the cost aspect into the original model of SERVQUAL. A mixed methods study combining preliminary theoretical evaluation and empirical research findings is used to develop the model of ServQual. This study succeeded in presenting gaps 6 and 7 inside a framework called the Service Quality Improvement Driver (SQuID). SQuID clarifies the significant relationship between service quality, cost, and price on SERVQUAL. This framework can help companies analyze and develop traceable service quality comprehensively and improve service quality effectively, even on an ongoing basis. Further research in the geographical context shows that the SQuID framework can be a practical solution for Asian businesses that are already quite familiar with SERVQUAL. Cultural-based service quality in the dimensions of tangible and empathy need special consideration when implementing the SQuID framework in several business sectors in Asia
基于111篇论文中264个关键词中的50个关键词的书目数据绘制的地图显示,服务质量、SERVQUAL和客户满意度是服务管理研究中最受欢迎的主题。关于成本的讨论相对较少,与SERVQUAL没有直接关系,而是与服务质量和顾客满意度有关。考虑到成本是服务质量的一个内在因素,在实践中更容易测量和控制,这一经验证据很有趣。研究了价格、成本、活动和服务质量之间的逻辑关系,以寻找将成本方面纳入SERVQUAL原始模型的可能性。采用初步理论评价与实证研究结果相结合的混合方法研究,建立了ServQual模型。这项研究成功地在一个名为服务质量改进驱动程序(SQuID)的框架内提出了差距6和7。SQuID阐明了SERVQUAL上服务质量、成本和价格之间的重要关系。这个框架可以帮助企业全面分析和发展可追溯的服务质量,有效地提高服务质量,甚至是持续的提高服务质量。对地理环境的进一步研究表明,对于已经非常熟悉SERVQUAL的亚洲企业来说,SQuID框架可能是一个实用的解决方案。在亚洲的几个业务部门实施鱿鱼框架时,需要特别考虑有形和移情维度的基于文化的服务质量

Gender issues involving job employment and promotion in the tourism and hospitality industry are influenced by cultural differences between individualism and collectivism. As many countries rely on revenue from tourism and hospitality, raising awareness of culturebased gender issues contributes to the sustainable development of this sector. Consequently, given the uncertainty and ambiguity surrounding these concepts, it is important to explore the functional mechanisms of cultural differences in gender issues. To this end, this study employed the grounded theory method to conduct semi-structured interviews of human resource managers of tourism organizations in various countries. It was concluded that four key factors—gender-based employment opportunities, gender-based job promotions, gender in leadership roles, and gender bias—are impacted by cultural differences in gender issues. These findings are discussed with the support of previous research, following which a theoretical framework is constructed to illustrate the significance of individualistic and collectivistic cultures' different perspectives on gender issues. This paper then explains the implications of the findings for scholarly and managerial fields, with a particular focus on the implications for the Asian business context. Finally, the limitations of the study are acknowledged, and recommendations for future research are provided.
涉及旅游业和酒店业就业和晋升的性别问题受到个人主义和集体主义之间文化差异的影响。由于许多国家依赖旅游业和酒店业的收入,提高对基于文化的性别问题的认识有助于这一部门的可持续发展。因此,考虑到这些概念的不确定性和模糊性,探讨文化差异在性别问题中的功能机制是很重要的。为此,本研究采用扎根理论方法对各国旅游组织人力资源管理者进行半结构化访谈。研究发现,性别问题中的四个关键因素——基于性别的就业机会、基于性别的职位晋升、领导角色中的性别和性别偏见——受到文化差异的影响。在此基础上,本文构建了个人主义文化与集体主义文化在性别问题上不同视角的理论框架。然后,本文解释了研究结果对学术和管理领域的影响,特别关注对亚洲商业环境的影响。最后,承认了本研究的局限性,并对未来的研究提出了建议。

Over the past two years, the Covid 19 pandemic was the greatest communicable outbreak that has upended almost every aspect of our lives. Despite this, the progress in realizing sustainable development remains as a challenge in the global perspective and yet it should be eliminated. The world is facing a pragmatic threat of climate change which potentially damage the Earth’s ecosystems. There is a need for all relevant parties to cooperatively care for the environment in decreasing the environmental degradation and climate change in achieving sustainability to leave no one left behind. Our study highlights the perception of the firm at firm-level that can link environmental sustainability practices and firm performance, especifically in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Hence, in this study, we will examine how corporate sustainability orientation influences firm performance, and how corporate sustainability orientation influences firm performance through environmental practices with the use of the Natural Resource-based View (NRBV) theory and Stakeholder theory. This study uses a judgmental sampling method with a set of criteria to have an accurate result for the study. A total of 219 responses were collected and this study uses a Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach in data analysis. From the analysis, both corporate sustainability orientation and environmental practices were found significant, while the relationship between corporate sustainability orientation and firm performance was found significant through the indirect effect. For future studies, this study suggests researcher to explore corporate sustainability orientation in the perspective of firm-level and individual-level to have a comparison in terms of perception towards sustainability practices and how it impacts the firm performance.
在过去两年中,Covid - 19大流行是最严重的传染性疫情,几乎颠覆了我们生活的方方面面。尽管如此,在实现可持续发展方面取得的进展仍然是全球视野中的一项挑战,但应该加以消除。世界正面临着气候变化的现实威胁,这可能会破坏地球的生态系统。所有有关方面都需要共同关心环境,减少环境退化,实现可持续发展,不让任何一个人掉队。我们的研究强调了企业对环境可持续性实践与企业绩效之间关系的认识,特别是在中小微企业(MSMEs)中。因此,在本研究中,我们将运用自然资源基础理论(NRBV)和利益相关者理论,研究企业可持续发展取向如何影响企业绩效,以及企业可持续发展取向如何通过环境实践影响企业绩效。本研究采用一套标准的判断抽样方法,以获得准确的研究结果。本研究共收集了219份问卷,采用偏最小二乘-结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)方法进行数据分析。通过分析发现,企业可持续发展取向与环境实践均显著,而企业可持续发展取向与企业绩效之间存在间接效应。对于未来的研究,本研究建议研究者从公司层面和个人层面探索企业可持续发展取向,比较可持续发展实践的感知及其对企业绩效的影响。

Does Online Brand Influence Offline Word-of-mouth? Using Pop-up Stores as a Means of Surprise and Brand Experience 线上品牌是否影响线下口碑?使用快闪店作为惊喜和品牌体验的手段
Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-08-01 DOI: 10.14707/ajbr.230148
Kuan-Yin Lee, Prasana Kumar Samanta
Pop-up stores are a way to promote exposure in ambient media, which stimulates the interest of potential customers. The study examines how in-store atmosphere, surprise factors, brand experience, brand attitude, word-of-mouth (WOM), and purchase intentions are structured and influence each other. The study chooses a pop-up store that is an online women's shoe brand to conduct the research. A total of 480 usable samples were used in the study. The study has adopted structural equation modeling (SEM) with the help of AMOS software to bring the outcomes of the research. The study finds that the store atmosphere affects the surprise factors, brand experience, and brand attitude. Whereas, surprise factors positively affect the brand experience and brand attitude. The brand experience impacts brand attitude and WOM. However, the brand experience is affecting the purchase intention in the study. The study also finds that the brand attitude affects the WOM and purchase intention. Further, WOM is affects the purchase intention in the study. So far, there has been no research conducted on the attitudes and behaviors of consumers affected by online-to-offline pop-up shops. Therefore, as part of the present study, consumer sentiment generated by pop-up stores is explored concerning consumers' attitudes and behaviors towards the brand, thereby providing the industry with a reference for creating pop-up stores. The gap in research regarding setting up online to offline pop-up stores that are currently lacking is filled by researchers, academicians, and the sector.
快闪店是一种提高曝光率的方式,可以激发潜在客户的兴趣。本研究检视店内氛围、惊喜因素、品牌体验、品牌态度、口碑(word- mouth, WOM)和购买意向如何构成并相互影响。本研究选择了一家在线女鞋品牌快闪店进行研究。研究中总共使用了480个可用样本。本研究采用结构方程模型(SEM),借助AMOS软件得出研究结果。研究发现,店铺氛围影响惊喜因素、品牌体验、品牌态度。惊喜因素对品牌体验和品牌态度有正向影响。品牌体验影响品牌态度和口碑。然而,在研究中,品牌体验正在影响购买意愿。研究还发现,品牌态度影响口碑和购买意愿。此外,口碑影响了本研究中的购买意愿。到目前为止,还没有关于消费者的态度和行为受到线上到线下快闪店影响的研究。因此,作为本研究的一部分,我们将探讨快闪店所产生的消费者情绪,即消费者对品牌的态度和行为,从而为行业创建快闪店提供参考。从线上到线下的快闪店的研究空白,由研究人员、学者和业界来填补。

The study examines how in-store atmosphere, surprise factors, brand experience, brand attitude, word-of-mouth (WOM), and purchase intentions are structured and influence each other. The study chooses a pop-up store that is an online women's shoe brand to conduct the research. A total of 480 usable samples were used in the study. The study has adopted structural equation modeling (SEM) with the help of AMOS software to bring the outcomes of the research. The study finds that the store atmosphere affects the surprise factors, brand experience, and brand attitude. Whereas, surprise factors positively affect the brand experience and brand attitude. The brand experience impacts brand attitude and WOM. However, the brand experience is affecting the purchase intention in the study. The study also finds that the brand attitude affects the WOM and purchase intention. Further, WOM is affects the purchase intention in the study.

The community is one element of the stakeholders to work together with the Government and the business/private sector to synergize to implement and support tourism development. Tourism development in Tourism Villages is cross-sector for the purpose of achieving the development of tourist villages through the principles of sustainable tourism. The purpose of this research is to identify the Potential of Natural, Cultural and Craft Resources in Wanayasa Village, to know the role of assistants in Tourism Villages as well as the Implementation of Empowerment in Tourism Villages. The method used in this study uses a qualitative descriptive with field surveys on mentoring activities which are believed to be able to encourage optimal empowerment of the community, so that there is no gap of understanding between the parties providing assistance and the target beneficiaries. Empowerment is one of the strong indicators that exist in tourist villages because the concept of developing a tourist village is based on community empowerment (Community Base Tourism) where the community has an important role in developing a tourist village with a tagline from the community, by the community and for the community.
旅游业的发展需要旅游业各利益攸关方的支持和参与。社区是持份者之一,可与政府和商界/私营机构合作,合力推行和支持旅游业发展。旅游村的旅游开发是跨部门的,目的是通过可持续旅游的原则实现旅游村的发展。本研究的目的是识别Wanayasa村自然、文化和工艺资源的潜力,了解助理在旅游村中的作用以及在旅游村赋权的实施。本研究使用的方法是对指导活动进行定性描述和实地调查,这些活动被认为能够鼓励社区的最佳授权,因此提供援助的各方与目标受益人之间没有理解差距。赋权是旅游村中存在的一个强有力的指标,因为开发旅游村的概念是基于社区赋权(社区基础旅游),社区在开发旅游村方面发挥着重要作用,其口号是来自社区,由社区和为社区。

Exploring the Impact of Annual Report Inquiries on Audit Risk - Based on the Perspective of Anchoring Effect 探讨年度报告询问对审计风险的影响——基于锚定效应的视角

Xinyue Zhang, Jun Zhou
The assessment of material misstatement risk is a critical judgmental matter for CPAs, but the uncertainty and subjectivity of judgment lead to a qualitative description of risk evaluation. By sorting out the inquiry letters issued by stock exchanges to listed companies in recent years, constructing a material misstatement risk system using fault trees and quantifying them using fuzzy hierarchical synthesis analysis, this paper not only provides a new reference basis and new audit ideas for annual audits, but also helps CPAs to better identify and evaluate material misstatement risks and improve the effectiveness of audits during annual audits.
重大错报风险的评估是注册会计师的重要判断事项,但判断的不确定性和主观性导致了对风险评估的定性描述。本文通过梳理近年来证券交易所对上市公司发出的问询函,运用故障树构建重大错报风险体系,并运用模糊层次综合分析对其进行量化,不仅为年度审计提供了新的参考依据和新的审计思路,而且有助于注册会计师在年度审计中更好地识别和评价重大错报风险,提高审计有效性。
