Sustainable entrepreneurship, portrayed by the combination of ecological and social obligation in business exercises, has arisen as a groundbreaking power in the contemporary business milieu. The review set out a thorough investigation of the unique parts of maintainable business ventures, especially digging into the vital job of environmental practices in forming corporate reputation. Corporate size is placed as a mediating variable because it takes part in environmental practices and is also directly proportional to the corporate reputation whether it’s negative or positive, while innovation capacity expects the job of a moderating variable because it helps to make environment-friendly goods which help to enhance the corporate size. Because of the heightening worldwide familiarity with natural and social worries, organizations are constrained to reevaluate their systems, mirroring a detectable shift towards sustainability. This change in perspective requires a nearer assessment of the transaction between environmental practices, corporate size, innovation capability, and corporate standing. Utilizing a cross-sectional review strategy inside a quantitative exploration plan, the concentrate deliberately examines the many-sided associations between these factors. The exact discoveries approve the hypothetical establishment, offering observational help for a positive relationship between environmental practices and both corporate reputation and size. Outstandingly, corporate size arises as a middle person, revealing insight into the nuanced effect of hierarchical size on the positive results of manageable drives. These insights not only contribute significantly to academic discourse but also offer practical implications for businesses, policymakers, and specialists. By unraveling the intricate elements crucial to the pursuit of sustainability in the entrepreneurial landscape, this study serves as a valuable resource for informed decision-making, practitioners, and policymakers in the evolving business environment.

The primary focus of this study is to provide new insights into the correlation between brand loyalty, perceived quality, and entrepreneurial venture’s value, while taking into account the role of customer trust as a mediator. It is found that perceived quality plays a vital role in augmenting venture’s value, with customer trust acting as an intermediary between venture’s value and the aforementioned factors. Noteworthy theories such as the Trust-Commitment theory, Expectation-Confirmation theory, and the Edelman Trust report emphasize the significance of customer trust in building venture’s value. As brands continue to wield greater influence in consumer decision-making processes, venture’s value assets become a metric for measuring consumer trust. The research methodology employed is based on survey-based random polling method. The statistical validity of these assumptions is established through econometric tools, specifically analysis of variance, structural equation modeling (SEM), and fitness testing. However, it is important to note that the limited sample size is a crucial constraint in this study, and it is recommended to expand the comprehensive representation of venture’s value to encompass a wider range of geographical areas in order to enhance its external validity.

In Pakistan's dynamic financial sector, effective credit risk management by commercial banks is critical to maintaining financial stability. In this study, we embarked on a unique and comprehensive journey, adopting the Panel Vector Autoregressive (PVAR) analysis, a novel methodology in this context. This approach allowed us to delve into the intricate relationship between credit risk management strategies and the aggregate business performance of commercial banks. The data used in this study spans from 2010Q1 to 2022Q4, investigating the comprehensive nexus of credit risk and macroeconomic indicators using a large dataset encompassing 18 strategically critical commercial banks of Pakistan. Our study uncovers several profound insights, documenting a remarkable increase in credit risk upon increases in the interest rate. The repercussions of the non-performing loans are observed nearly two years after the successive phases of a stern posture of monetary policy have been implemented. Our research findings carry significant weight for the banking industry. We discovered that the levels of credit risk could be reined in due to the protective shield offered by phases of sudden economic booms. This underscores the reinforcing effect of the improving economic conditions on defaults of loans, providing practical and actionable insights for credit risk management strategies.

The services sector is the leading sector of Pakistan’s economy. It creates employment, foreign exchange earnings, research, and innovation, and significantly contributes to Pakistan’s economy. A significant amount of tax revenue is collected from the services sector. Therefore, it is imperative to analyze how taxation influences the services sector in Pakistan. The objective of the present study is to analyze the impact of tax revenue, entrepreneurial ventures, trade openness, inflation, and GDP per capita on the service sector of Pakistan. For this, data from 1980 to 2020 is used. The long-run ARDL estimates show that taxation adversely impacts Pakistan’s services sector. The results show that the variables domestic entrepreneur venture, gross national expenditures, and trade openness were significant and positively related to the service sector growth of Pakistan, while the variables tax revenue, poverty, and inflation rate were negatively related to Pakistan’s service sector growth rate. By considering the study results, it is concluded that the tax system significantly impacts Pakistan’s services sector. Due to high taxes, businesses in the services industry find it challenging to expand and compete. The policy recommendations are that the government must balance raising tax income with promoting the expansion of the services sector. Further, the government should endeavor to streamline the tax system so that companies can easily comprehend and adhere to the law. However, future research can be used the panel data form for developing countries. Further, the impact of taxation on other segments of the economy, such as agriculture and large-scale manufacturing, can be analyzed.
服务业是巴基斯坦经济的主导部门。它创造就业、外汇收入、研究和创新，对巴基斯坦的经济做出了重大贡献。大量税收来自服务业。因此，分析税收如何影响巴基斯坦的服务业势在必行。本研究旨在分析税收、创业企业、贸易开放度、通货膨胀和人均 GDP 对巴基斯坦服务业的影响。为此，我们使用了 1980 年至 2020 年的数据。长期 ARDL 估计结果显示，税收对巴基斯坦服务业产生了不利影响。结果表明，国内创业风险、国民总支出和贸易开放度等变量与巴基斯坦服务业增长显著正相关，而税收、贫困和通货膨胀率等变量与巴基斯坦服务业增长率负相关。根据研究结果，可以得出结论：税收制度对巴基斯坦服务业有重大影响。由于税率高，服务业企业在扩张和竞争方面面临挑战。政策建议是，政府必须在提高税收收入和促进服务业扩张之间取得平衡。此外，政府应努力简化税收制度，使企业易于理解和遵守法律。不过，未来的研究可以采用发展中国家的面板数据形式。此外，还可以分析税收对农业和大规模制造业等其他经济部门的影响。

The significance of women entrepreneurs in creating jobs and driving social and economic progress cannot be overstated. In less developed economies like Pakistan, the participation and impact of women entrepreneurs are notably lower as compared to more advanced nations. This research aims to investigate the effect of informal institutions on venture creation in Pakistan within the framework of institutional theory. Employing a quantitative approach, the study concentrates on women entrepreneurs operating in Hazara and Peshawar divisions. Data collection involved the utilization of five point Likert scale questionnaire through simple random sampling. Empirical analysis of the collected data was executed employing the path analysis methodology within the framework of structural equation modeling (SEM) facilitated by Smart PLS 3. Findings from the research revealed a significant positive impact between informal institutional support in women entrepreneurship and venture creation. The study underscores the significance of government and relevant bodies focusing on critical determinants such as family support, fear of failure, and social networking to enhance the landscape of venture creation. This research contributes to the theoretical literature and sheds light to bring clarity to the particular role of informal institutional factors generally, social networking, family support and fear of failure constraints in enhancing venture creation. It's crucial to evolve women entrepreneurship support programs by government. These programs necessarily address the unique challenges being faced by women when handling the informal institutions. Raising awareness and stimulating societal norms and stereotypes that curtail women’s economic participation is decisive. Launching campaigns to mold societal perceptions can aid break down gender-based obstructions and promote a more comprehensive entrepreneurial setting.

The transgenders in Pakistan are facing challenges in jobs quota and starting their businesses in Pakistan. Transgenders are a marginalized community in Pakistan facing challenges in establishing their businesses. There are fewer opportunities for lesbians and guys in Pakistan to start their physical business due to bullying and harassment. The objective of the current research was to measure the impact of entrepreneurial support and entrepreneurial opportunities on the digital entrepreneurship of transgender people in the presence of microfinance loans and government policies in developing economies like Pakistan. A sample of 56 marginalized transgender people from the Punjab province of Pakistan was collected for the findings. The statistical analysis is performed by using SPSS 24 and Smart PLS 4. The partial least square–structural equation modelling (PLS–SEM) approach was used to measure the findings of measurement model assessment and structural model assessment. It is empirically concluded that the effect of entrepreneurial support and entrepreneurial opportunities on digital entrepreneurship for transgender people is large. Therefore, microfinance loans and government policies for supporting transgenders in digital entrepreneurship are critically required when there is appropriate support for transgenders for the accomplishment of entrepreneurial opportunities. Furthermore, the government of Pakistan is needed to plan and execute reasonable policies for sustainable entrepreneurship to motivate transgenders to the digital entrepreneurial environment. The execution of entrepreneurial policies by the Pakistani government and support of microfinance loans can increase digital entrepreneurship by transgenders in Pakistan, and this marginalized community can achieve success and standard life. This study also provides some recommendations for future studies.

We analyzed the vital role microfinance initiatives are playing towards their confidence and growth in undertaking business reducing the violence against women (VAW), resultantly women empowerment. We utilized data from the Women Economic & Social Well-being Survey of Punjab, with a specific focus on women aged 15 to 64 years. Our study employed the logit and probit modeling technique to find out the intricate interplay between microfinance and various socio-economic factors especially with regard to VAW. We explored the connections between microfinance, women’s economic empowerment through female employment and their wealth status, age, education, marital status, area of residence, elucidating their combined influence on the likelihood of occurrence of violence against women in Pakistan, with particular analysis of urban and population. The conclusions arrived at from this investigation not only add to the scholarly debate on gender economics and VAW but also equip the policymakers with considerable fresh insights, development strategies, and identification of organizations for advocating and steering enhancement in female employment, microfinance initiatives for women, financial assistance, and education for transformative initiatives of gender equality and reduction in VAW.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, business activities have become more electronic, and cell phones have become an important way to do business. An enormous amount of research has been done on how people are using mobile payments. This study aims to examine how user’s perception of risk influences their decision to continue using mobile payment services. Despite the benefits associated with payments there are still challenges that hinder its widespread acceptance. This study discusses these challenges with entrepreneurial perspective that entrepreneurial thinking here means not only noticing how popular mobile payment services are, but also figuring out what the problems are and using them as a starting point to come up with new ideas that could change the industry. The study utilizes the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model along, with the confirmation acceptance model to analyze the factors that impact users continued intention to use payments and validate the conceptual model. To collect data for this research a quantitative approach is employed through a survey distributed among mobile payment users. The survey adopts convenience sampling techniques to gather responses from participants, across regions of Pakistan. Data collection spanned over a two-month period involving a total of 460 respondents. The study employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationship between confirmation, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and continuous intention to use mobile payment services. There was a positive relationship between the dependent and independent factors, which meant that all of the hypotheses were valid. Additionally, SPSS analysis showed that perceived risk weakens the connection between confirmation, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and continuous intention. The findings of this research contribute to the business literature and put forth crucial guidelines for the management of entrepreneurial mindsets.
