Purpose: An understanding of financial literacy is important not only for business actors but also for individuals and households; even there is a need to introduce this all-important skill to children early. There is a projection that the financial behavior of the young generation will have a better influence on the global economy than that of the previous generation. Therefore, it is crucial that today’s young generation understands financial literacy. This study aims to measure how digital financial literacy and financial confidence can influence both the financial behavior and financial well-being of the younger generation. Design/methodology/approach: The participants in this study are university students from all over Indonesia. This is a quantitative research project that uses online questionnaires, and the collected data is processed using structural equations mode-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) with the Smart-PLS application. Questionnaires have been distributed and obtained by 353 respondents to be processed by the Smart-PLS application. Finding: The result indicates that digital financial literacy has a significant effect on financial behavior, and financial behavior also has a significant effect on financial well-being. Meanwhile, financial confidence influences both financial well-being and financial behavior. Conclusion: This research contributes to the body of knowledge by providing information to the public about the importance of digital financial literacy for individuals to control their financial behaviour amidst the rapid growth of financial technology. Furthermore, the research findings are enriched with literature on digital financial literacy, which is still rarely studied. However, a limitation of this study is the fact that the respondents are mainly women. Therefore, there should be further research involving a higher number of respondents and covering a wider research location.

Purpose: This study examines the impact of religion on female labor market participation and tests the hypothesis that under a specific belief pattern, female time allocation to labor market participation should vary systematically with the change in religiosity level. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses a primary data set of 320 female respondents. The binominal logit model is used to estimate a categorical dependent variable. Findings: The results suggest that religious women are less willing to participate in the labor market. Conclusion: There are three different outcomes from the analysis scheme. First, the composite index of female religiosity signifies its negative impact on their labor market participation. Second, the findings of the study reveal that females with relatively higher religious education are less willing to participate in the labor market. Third, females are less willing to participate in the labor market when the head of the household is more religious. Research limitations: A larger sample is believed to help in better generalization. Practical implications: Religion shapes human behavior which subsequently influences their economic decisions. Our findings reveal a positive association between females’ formal education level and their labor market participation. This entails a government policy to facilitate women in enhancing their education level. Moreover, mainstreaming the religious educational institutes and their curriculum will resolve the misconceptions.

Purpose: This study aims to produce a valid learning model by validating the creative-scientific decision -making skills (CSDMS) learning model to improve creative thinking skills and decision-making skills. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research methodology is development research adapted from Borg and Gall which consists of three stages: the preliminary stage, the model design stage and the model testing stage. This research is conducted through validation study designs those tests two criteria, namely content and construct validity by involving three experts in Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities. The validity criteria were determined based on the Aiken validation index. Findings: The study’s findings show that the CSDMS model is valid in terms of content and construct. This is based on calculations using the Aiken formula which shows that the V value for each instrument item is 0.89 ≤ V ≤ 1 with a very valid category. It was concluded that the CSDMS model was stated to be valid both in terms of content and construct validity in order to improve students' creative thinking skills and decision-making skills. Contribution to literature: This research produces a valid learning model in terms of content and construct, so that it can improve creative thinking skills and decision-making skills. The CSDMS model has a syntax consisting of six phases, namely: 1) Problem orientation 2) Exploration 3) Elaboration 4) Group investigation 5) Decision making and 6) Evaluation and reflection.

Purpose: Marriage is an infinite bond between two partners that can be caused to fail by several factors. Economic stress leads to psychological stress and in some cases, marriage dissolution. The current study investigates the impact of economic stress (measured by the unemployment rate and inflation rate) on divorce rates using Chinese province-level panel data from 2010 to 2019. Design/Methodology/Approach: The panel fixed effects (FE) model, panel random effects (RE) model, and fixed effects- Driscoll and Kraay standard errors (DKSE) model were used for empirical analysis. Findings: The research findings support the hypothesized economic stress theory of divorce by Reuben Hill. According to the empirical findings, economic stress indicators such as unemployment and inflation have a positive and significant impact on the divorce rate in China and its regions. Furthermore, urbanization, education and mobile phone variables have a positive relationship with divorce rates except for children’s dependency. Contribution to literature: Taking into account both parties' perspectives, this study contributes to the existing literature by looking at economic stress in the context of divorce. We are particularly interested in how economic stress affected the marriage relationship's quality. We investigated the relationship between the unemployment rate, inflation rate and divorce rate in China's 31 provinces for the period 2010-2019. The entire sample is then separated into three sub-samples: Eastern China, Central China and Western China.

Purpose: Technostress or technology-induced stress is well-known in the literature among working people. Although technology is becoming more prevalent in higher education, there is still a lack of research investigating the predictors of technostress and its impact on university students. The current study explored: (i) the mediating role of problematic internet use (PIU) in the relationship between internet usage and technostress and (ii) the moderation of personality type on the relationship between internet usage and PIU among university students in Pakistan. Methodology: For this correlational study, participants (n=165) were bachelor's and master's students from two public universities in Pakistan. A purposive sampling technique was used and SmartPLS was used for analysis. Findings: Problematic internet usage partially mediated the relationship between internet usage and technostress among university students. Conscientiousness moderated the relationship between internet usage and problematic internet use negatively whereas neuroticism moderated the relationship positively. Conclusion: The findings are an essential landmark for the consequences of problematic internet usage and the presence of technostress among students. Workshops and specialized programs are necessary to promote awareness among university students and proper counseling services to reduce the adverse effects of internet usage, problematic internet usage and technostress.

Purpose: Mothers play a crucial role in shaping the eating behavior of their children. Several studies have shown that mothers misperceive the diet quality, total energy intake, and portion sizes of their children. This misperception leads to overestimation or even underestimation of their children’s dietary intake which can have a detrimental effect on their health. Mothers associate a chubby child with good health and have a lot of emotional investment related to the amount of food their child ate. Design/Methodology/Approach: Even though past research articles acknowledge the existence of these perceptions, nutrition education material that could target these misperceptions has not been developed. The first step was to conduct a needs assessment and the second was to develop perception-focused nutrition education material. Findings: Three themes were identified by conducting a needs assessment and six themes were identified by going through research articles from the past. These nine themes identified were then organized and developed into three lesson plans with specific objectives. Practice implications: The perception-focused nutrition education material, thus developed, can be delivered to mothers through oral and visual aids. Through our developed nutrition educational material, future researchers will be able to test the perceptions of mothers regarding their child’s diet.

Purpose: This study intends to determine whether family businesses empower women, encourage their entrepreneurship, and enable them to become fully engaged in activities that generate finances by allowing them to select their own business idea. Methodology: Empowering women is crucial for accelerating economic and financial progress. The question of the economic empowerment of women is of utmost importance to political philosophers, social scientists, and reformers because it is currently thought of as a sine qua non of progress for a nation. This study examines the relationship between women's financial empowerment, business, and the home using data from the 2017–18 Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS). For this, we employed binary logistic regression. Findings: Women who are educated and have a job are more empowered than women who are not employed. Furthermore, economic and financial development cannot occur without the advancement of women. Women should be taught technical knowledge and marketing strategies and empowered to develop their skills to create more sustainable businesses. Contribution to literature: This study contributes to the literature in two ways: First, this study utilized the fertility variable which was not utilized in earlier studies. Second, this study identified the women empowerment factors by using four different indicators.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to identify the underlying factors of impulsive buying behavior that would impact consumers’ buying behavior and eventually their purchase intentions. Methodology: This research is based on the philosophy of positivism and employs a quantitative examination. In order to reach to our target market, we have used convenience sampling (non-probability sampling) and tried to gather the data in the original shopping environment i.e. a survey in shopping malls. A sample of 400 was gathered and analyzed. The SPSS version 20 is used for data analysis. Findings: Results of this study show that a consumer’s mood has a significant impact on buying as it can trigger impulse behavior in consumers. Person situations can also influence impulse buying for example time, money and the fear of missing out can all trigger impulse buying. Store layout can also trigger that unplanned purchase which means store lighting, the music of the store and ambiance may affect the purchasing. Product promotion has an impact on spontaneous purchase which indicates that free coupons, discounts and free delivery are offered to attract the customer to a sudden purchase. Product design, packaging, color and labeling indicate a positive and significant impact on impulse buying. However, materialism indicates an insignificant impact on impulse buying. Contribution to literature: This research is positively contributing to or suggesting that practitioners or sellers better understand the intrinsic factors influencing customers ’purchase intentions in the cosmetic industry.

Purpose: Due to the emergence of COVID -19, the transition from offline to online teaching also changes how drama techniques work. Specifically, the digital drama technique was used to teach English, when regular classes were almost impossible. There seems to be very little, if any, research on digital drama techniques, especially in the Vietnamese context. Consequently, this study examines how the digital drama technique affects Vietnamese students learning English as a foreign language (EFL). Additionally, the differences and similarities between teachers’ and students’ perceptions of the technique’s impact are examined. Methodology: The study used a quantitative approach. A survey was used to collect data from 1207 students and 69 teachers. Findings: The survey revealed that the technique was helpful for EFL students’ learning. The participants mostly perceived the positive impacts of the technique. However, differences in perception between teacher and student were discovered. The students considered it beneficial for improving their writing and reading skills while teachers perceived this technique as helpful in exploring new creative ideas. Practical implications: The technique was approved as useful for language teaching and learning. English teachers are encouraged to use this technique in their teaching in practice. Contribution to literature: The study becomes a good source for further research to build a more profound theoretical framework. More researchable ideas related to this unique online teaching technique are suggested to enrich the literature in this field.

Purpose: The current study aimed at exploring education leaders' perceptions of online learning in four universities in the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The study explored two dimensions of educational institutions’ experiences during the pandemic: the effectiveness and educational impact of online learning. Design/Methodology/Approach: To achieve the aim of the study, a 34-items survey was developed. The validity and reliability of the survey were ensured. A total of 113 education leaders across five UAE universities were surveyed in order to know their views on the effectiveness of online teaching during COVID-19 lockdowns. Findings: The results of the study showed that despite the pressure, stress and uncertainty that accompanied the shift to online education as a result of the spread of coronavirus. University education leaders highly appreciated online teaching in both domains of the survey. However, the more experienced education leaders expressed positive views on the effectiveness of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, there were no significant differences in perceptions among education leaders based on gender, academic rank or position. Conclusion: The current study explored education leaders’ views on online learning. Apparently, addressing differences among education leaders can help in providing more effective and sound learning experiences. Practical implications: The results of the study highlighted the crucial role of education leaders especially during times of crises and massive disruptions and the need to take into account the differences between their views. Therefore, the study suggests dealing with education leaders' differences carefully in order to deliver effective online learning. Contribution to literature: The study provides a different perspective on online learning as it captures education leaders' perspectives on online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
