Monodisciplinary research confines itself to expanding the literature, knowledge, and methodologies of a single discipline. In contrast, interdisciplinary studies adopt a holistic approach to solve current problems and create new knowledge informed by different disciplinary perspectives. While there are some debates and challenges regarding the position of interdisciplinary research within academia, interdisciplinary approaches have potential for creating new integrative research domains by combining various skill sets and expertise from various fields or disciplines to tackle critical problems across several areas, including in business studies. A particular application of interdisciplinary approaches will be discussed in connection with a larger research study. This research involves theories, literature, and methodologies from these practical and rapidly-changing fields: business studies, information systems, and consumer psychology.

Considering contemporary developments and challenges, to achieve organizational excellence, universities must undergo digital transformation, relying on knowledge of and integrating information technology into all their fields and services. This study aimed to examine the impact of four dimensions of digital transformation: strategic requirements, organizational culture requirements, human resource requirements, and technological and legislative requirements for achieving organizational excellence in Egyptian private universities, using the German University in Cairo as a case study. To achieve study objectives, the descriptive analytical method was used. Questionnaires were distributed among 199 faculty members, chosen using a stratified random sample, from various university faculties. Of these, 185 valid responses were retrieved, a response rate of 92.6%. The study found that the impact of digital transformation on achieving organizational excellence is statistically significant. The combined dimensions of digital transformation explain the 74.7% variance in organizational excellence. The research contributes important insights into the impact of digital transformation on achieving organizational excellence. Its theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

The capital adequacy ratio is one of the most important indicators used to assess the ability of the banking sector to absorb shocks. Therefore, central banks have paid attention to the importance of monitoring this ratio on an ongoing basis, given the vital role of the banking sector in supporting the economy. In this paper, we investigate the banking and economic factors that could affect the capital adequacy ratio in the Arab banking sector, by using dynamic panel data model for a panel of 35 banks spread across seven Arab countries during the period 2015 to 2020. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between credit risk (ratio of non-performing loans to total loans) and the size of the bank on the one hand, and capital adequacy ratio on the other hand. There is also a negative significant relationship between bank profitability (return on assets) and capital adequacy ratio, while there is no significant relationship between dynamic provisions and capital adequacy ratio. Finally, regarding the role of economic variables, the study shows that the real GDP growth rate has a significant positive impact on the capital adequacy ratio in the Arab region.

Most studies on coopetition strategy concentrate on the inter-organizational level. Lately, a growing literature has focused on coopetitive strategies within organizations, opening new windows for the study of the phenomenon. This article is part of this new context. The main objective is to design a research framework of the antecedents, dynamics, and outcomes of intra-organizational coopetition. We conducted qualitative and exploratory research, collecting evidence through a focus group with managers from a large educational institution. Our findings grouped categories of antecedents, dynamics, and outcomes into an intra-organizational coopetition framework, designed to support future research and management decisions. The findings also contribute to the advancement of the coopetition literature in the service sector, describing the interplay between cooperation and competition in the education industry. We hope that our findings will spark further research into intra-organizational coopetition strategies.

The employment relationship between employees and organizations has changed with the advent of the knowledge economy era in the 21st century and the transformation of economic models. Psychological contracts are significant in understanding the employment relationship between employees and organizations. More and more scholars began to focus on psychological contracts. Therefore, the systematic arrangement of psychological contract literature is meaningful. This study used bibliometrics to review 2,097 articles and conference papers from psychological contracts. The Scopus database is the source of literature collection in this study. This study used VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel for the bibliometric analysis of these documents. Firstly, this study summarized the temporal trends and primary sources of psychological contracts. This study found an exponential increase in publications and a Matthew effect in sources of psychological contracts. Secondly, eight major co-authorship groups were found and discussed the significant contributions made by these scholars to psychological contract theory. Thirdly, this study also analyzed the countries, affiliations, funding sponsors, and subject areas of the psychological contract. Finally, the hot topic of psychological contracts and suggested future research were discussed. This study systematically summarized the literature on the psychological contract and future research direction.

This research proposed a framework on the interactive effect of Social Capital, Locus of Control and Institutional Support on the nexus of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and micro-enterprises performance. As the level of empirical research is lacking on the elements identified in a single study. This study used the uni-dimension of EO encompassing the proactiveness, innovativeness, and the risk-taking proclivity of women micro-enterprises in developing novel jobs towards narrowing the economic disparities of people. The incorporated variables like Social Capital, entrepreneur’s internal locus of control and Institutional Support relate to entrepreneurship as per extant literature. A quantitative research method will be utilised and with the help of the G-Power to establish the acceptable minimum sample size suitable for the study. Data will be obtained via purposive sampling technique and analysis done with the use of the Smart PLS-SEM software. The findings would provide vital value on the significance of the antecedent variables on the perceived financial and non-financial performance indicators of women micro-entrepreneurs. The study will be anchored on the model of strategic entrepreneurship, organisational learning and learning organisation theories stressing how their adoption by women micro-entrepreneurs could enhance optimal sustainable performance. The implications of this findings would be of great significance on women micro-entrepreneurs’ performance, enabling them to compete well in this competitive business environment, evolve to SMEs and large business that will find their presence in the international market. Further, findings would provide direction for educators, policymakers and future research to enhance the optimal sustainable performance of women micro-entrepreneurs and in Malaysia.

In 2019, the contagious COVID-19 virus wreaked havoc on our planet. According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, this virus is to blame for the global and Malaysian economies' sharp declines (OECD). Many SMEs were affected, and some of them had to shut down their operations. The previous models for sustaining the businesses seems irrelevant during the pandemic phase as well as post-pandemic period. Because of that issues, researchers conducting this study. With an effectuation approach and dynamic capacities, the goal of this research is to investigate the performance of Young SMEs during the Post-Pandemic. For this study, it is important to take into account social capital, technological capabilities, and knowledge development. After reviewing the specialized literature and confirming the relationship between the pertinent variables, the authors suggested a new model based in Malaysia in order to accomplish this goal. This study will look at Youth SME companies that were established prior to the pandemic and will analyze them quantitatively. The findings of this paper will assist youth SMEs in dealing with uncertainty in the future, such as Covid-19, and will serve as a reference for academicians in the future, as there are few studies that focus on youth entrepreneurs in Malaysia.

Digital banking in Malaysia has seen significant growth in recent years. The government actively promotes digital financial services and regulatory bodies supporting fintech innovation. However, the factors influencing Malaysians' behavioural intention to use digital banking services still need to be discovered. Hence, this study investigates the factors influencing Malaysian customers' willingness to use digital banks. The study examined the factors influencing the attitude and intention to use digital banking in Malaysia among 562 commercial bank customers using the Technology Acceptance Model. The findings revealed that perceived ease of use has a positive and significant effect on perceived usefulness; perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness both have a positive and significant effect on attitude; and perceived trust has a positive and significant direct effect on attitude and intention. Finally, it was discovered that attitude positively and significantly mediated perceived trust and intention to use digital banking among bank customers. Hence, this study has proven that all seven hypotheses were supported. The study found practical implications that policymakers, bankers, and fintech players could use in creating a policy encouraging Malaysians to use digital banking services. Hence, it will assist the government and financial institutions towards digital banking development.

The corporation's financial statements comply with legislation and regulations. Financial statements provide information that is very essential to interested parties, such as shareholders, creditors, and financial institutions, for decision-making. Throughout the information, the interested parties will decide whether to invest or provide credit to increase their wealth. In addition, financial statements become tools for identifying the financial situation of the business, whether it is good or bad. The financial statements will show a company's ability to provide a better dividend that can increase shareholder wealth. Furthermore, creditors, and financial institutions may provide credit and loans to company if the financial statements show a better profit, which is linked to the capability of the company to settle all debts. Financial statement information can enhance the wealth of shareholders, creditors and financial institutions through improved decision-making.

Using panel data from selected Small Island Developing States (SIDS) for 1995–2019, the present study explored the moderating role of sustainable factors mainly economic, social and environment on tourism development. Through the use of a dynamic econometric model, namely the Panel Vector Error Correction Model (PVECM), the results show that high growth rates, better education level as well as better health care in the host countries contributes towards tourism development. However, environmental degradation is seen as a deterrent factor. Furthermore, the Dumitrescu Hurlin panel causality tests confirm the existence of a bi directional causal link between tourism development and economic growth. Similar results were obtained for the environmental factor and tourism development as well as the social indicator, education and tourism development. Hence, the study supports that both environmental preservation policies alongside policies to attract tourists to the host countries should be adopted in order to boost sustainable tourism development.
