Rampant unemployment in the United States brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous detrimental effect on the financial well-being of millions of Americans and their families. Personal concerns about these financial disruptions and social isolation as a precaution against the pandemic have heighted stress particularly among vulnerable groups like the unemployed. High stress situations are known triggers for maladaptive coping behaviors like use/overuse of alcohol, prescription medications, and street drugs. This study of 600 unemployed individuals found substantial increases in all three categories of mood-altering substances. Using adapted addiction symptom measurement items from the most recent Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5), the researchers established comparative addiction risk profiles for each substance category. Further, the results of the study offer preliminary insights into substance abuse patterns across two and even all three of the substance categories.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行给美国带来的严重失业,对数百万美国人及其家庭的经济状况产生了巨大的不利影响。作为预防大流行的一种措施,个人对这些金融中断和社会孤立的担忧加剧了失业等弱势群体的压力。众所周知,高压力环境会引发适应不良的应对行为,比如使用/过度使用酒精、处方药和街头毒品。这项对600名失业人员的研究发现,这三种改变情绪的物质都大幅增加。使用最新的诊断与统计手册(DSM-5)中的成瘾症状测量项目,研究人员为每种物质类别建立了比较的成瘾风险概况。此外,该研究的结果为两种甚至所有三种物质类别的药物滥用模式提供了初步见解。

On the background of mixed ownership reform, the equity mix has an increasing impact on corporate performance. Our research selects the panel data of 620 Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share manufacturing listed companies from 2015 to 2019, and constructs a model of the mediating effect of “equity mix-executive incentives-corporate performance” to test the impact of equity mix on firm performance, and further explore the mediating effect of executive incentives between the equity mix and firm performance. Research shows that: the “U”-shaped relationship between equity mix and company performance is confirmed, executive compensation incentives have a partial mediating effect between equity mix and firm performance, and executive equity incentives have a complete mediating effect between equity mix and company performance.
在混合所有制改革的背景下,股权结构对公司绩效的影响越来越大。本研究选取2015 - 2019年沪深两市620家制造业上市公司面板数据,构建“股权组合-高管激励-公司绩效”中介效应模型,检验股权组合对公司绩效的影响,进一步探讨高管激励在股权组合与公司绩效之间的中介作用。研究表明:股权组合与公司绩效之间的“U”型关系得到证实,高管薪酬激励在股权组合与公司绩效之间具有部分中介作用,高管薪酬激励在股权组合与公司绩效之间具有完全中介作用。

Following the technological advancement from the days where the internet was not a commerce friendly space to now when it is a known secret that the internet is by far one of the greatest platforms for commercial activities, electronic commerce (e-commerce) has gained feet and become one of the easiest and convenient ways to reach out to a relatively larger geographical market for buying and selling of goods and services. Not only has this phenomenon made convenience a good part of commercial activities but also opened up the market to diversified goods and services and individuals or companies to select from, therefore making it highly imperative that these phenomena are looked into. Therefore, this research seeks to discuss how certain traits like the consumers’ perception serve as a moderating tool in the online market space and consequently influence consumer purchase intentions.
随着技术的进步,从互联网不是一个商业友好的空间到现在,当它是一个众所周知的秘密,互联网是迄今为止最伟大的商业活动平台之一,电子商务(电子商务)已经获得了脚,并成为一个最简单和方便的方式来接触到一个相对较大的地理市场购买和销售商品和服务。这种现象不仅使便利成为商业活动的一个很好的组成部分,而且还为多样化的商品和服务以及个人或公司的选择打开了市场,因此,对这些现象进行研究是非常必要的。因此,本研究旨在探讨某些特征,如消费者的感知,如何在网络市场空间中充当调节工具,从而影响消费者的购买意愿。

The popularization of FinTechs has sparked new competition for banks as FinTechs are said to be more convenient, efficient and faster unlike bureaucratic requirements of financial institutions such as banks. The aim of this study was to assess the factors leading to adoption of FinTech financial services and how this affects traditional banking in Zambia. The objectives of the study were to evaluate factors influencing the adoption of FinTech financial services and to develop strategies that can help banks to remain relevant and competitive. The study adopted a quantitative research approach to collect data through self-administered questionnaires. The sample size was arrived at using the Cochran formula. The respondents were selected based on a convenient sampling technique which is a non-probability sampling method. The study adopted the diffusion of innovation theory whose variables were used to come up with hypotheses. The data collected through the questionnaires was analyzed using Pearson Correlation and the SPSS software. Results indicated a strong positive correlation of 0.450 between relative advantage and adoption. Further, the study shows that there is a strong positive correlation of 0.621 between Compatibility and Adoption. The study proposes a revised model that shows factors affecting adoption of an innovation that might help banks.
金融科技的普及引发了银行的新竞争,因为金融科技据说更方便、更高效、更快捷,不像银行等金融机构的官僚要求。本研究的目的是评估导致采用金融科技金融服务的因素,以及这如何影响赞比亚的传统银行业。该研究的目的是评估影响采用金融科技金融服务的因素,并制定有助于银行保持相关性和竞争力的战略。本研究采用定量研究方法,通过自行填写问卷的方式收集数据。样本量是用科克伦公式计算出来的。受访者的选择是基于一种方便的抽样技术,即非概率抽样方法。本研究采用创新扩散理论,利用创新扩散理论中的变量进行假设。通过问卷收集的数据使用Pearson Correlation和SPSS软件进行分析。结果表明,相对优势与采用率的正相关系数为0.450。此外,研究表明,兼容性和采用之间存在0.621的强正相关。该研究提出了一个修订后的模型,该模型显示了影响采用一项可能对银行有益的创新的因素。

Organizational Change Skills: An Empirical Cross-National Study 组织变革技能:一项跨国实证研究
Pub Date : 2021-03-31 DOI: 10.4236/OJBM.2021.92048
Karen A. Somerville, Inta Cinite, Carlos Largacha-Martínez
This research is premised on the proposition that mastering organizational change skills may help improve success rate of change initiatives. The overall purpose of this empirical, cross-national study was to explore whether perceptions of organizational change skills differ across nations. Using a convenience sample, structured interviews were conducted with 90 managers and executives in three regions: the USA, the Baltics and South America to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Statistical significance of between-group differences in means was obtained with the help of one-way ANOVA, and differences in percentages were established using a chi square test. Most of the change skills were perceived similarly across the three regions, but nevertheless, there were some differences. More communication and managing the change process skills were believed to be present in organizations in the USA, while understanding internal and external environment was more characteristic of the Baltics and South America. Respondents in these two regions also considered interpersonal and social skills to be more important. Respondents’ awareness of change skills was quite low without prompting. However, when prompted, all pre-established 11 groups of skills (Somerville & Whelan-Berry, 2009) were rated as important, and the majority of respondents were confident that these skills could be found in their organization. Given the relatively few differences that were found across the three regions, this suggests that cross-border dissemination of organizational change skills is possible, but each geography requires a slight adaptation. The findings also suggest that if those leading/managing change initiatives recognize that there are at least 11 groups of change skills, and cultivate these skills within the organization, this could increase the success rate of change initiatives. Given the paucity of empirical research relating to change skills generally, and cross-national considerations specifically, and the importance of change for organizations globally, this exploratory empirical research makes important contributions.
本研究的前提是掌握组织变革技能可以帮助提高变革计划的成功率。这项实证的跨国研究的总体目的是探讨不同国家对组织变革技能的看法是否不同。采用方便样本,对美国、波罗的海国家和南美洲三个地区的90名经理和高管进行了结构化访谈,以收集定量和定性数据。采用单因素方差分析获得组间均数差异的统计学意义,采用卡方检验确定百分比差异。在这三个地区,大多数改变技能的感知是相似的,但尽管如此,还是存在一些差异。更多的沟通和管理变化过程的技能被认为存在于美国的组织中,而理解内部和外部环境则更具有波罗的海国家和南美洲的特点。这两个地区的受访者还认为人际关系和社交技能更重要。在没有提示的情况下,受访者对改变技能的认识很低。然而,当提示时,所有预先建立的11组技能(Somerville & Whelan-Berry, 2009)都被评为重要,大多数受访者相信这些技能可以在他们的组织中找到。鉴于在三个地区之间发现的差异相对较小,这表明组织变革技能的跨界传播是可能的,但每个地区都需要稍微适应。研究结果还表明,如果那些领导/管理变革计划的人认识到至少有11组变革技能,并在组织内培养这些技能,这可能会增加变革计划的成功率。鉴于普遍缺乏与变革技能相关的实证研究,特别是跨国考虑,以及变革对全球组织的重要性,这一探索性实证研究做出了重要贡献。

Millennial workers occupy the majority of employment positions worldwide, which is a concern to business leaders in the United States related to having knowledge and ability to train, motivate, and retain millennial employees. Using Gilbert’s behavior engineering model as a conceptual framework, this multiple case study explored the strategies that business leaders used to motivate millennial employees. The study population included 4 leaders of small restaurant businesses in eastern North Carolina, USA. Data were collected from semistructured, face-to-face interviews using 7 open-ended questions and a review of company documents, websites, and social media. Data were coded and analyzed following Morse’s method of data analysis. Three themes emerged from data analysis: rewards and recognition, high-quality leader-member relationship, and professional development. The findings of this research are significant for small business leaders who want to implement effective motivational strategies to manage millennial employees to keep their organizations productive and profitable. The implications of this study for positive social change include the potential to help millennial workers grow in their careers, become financially stable, and develop into prospective leaders prepared to proper their organizations and societies in the future.

The Proportion of Shares Held by the Largest Shareholder and the Proportion of Independent Directors 第一大股东持股比例与独立董事比例
Pub Date : 2021-03-29 DOI: 10.4236/OJBM.2021.92040

In this paper, the relevant data of the proportions of major shareholders and independent directors from 2008 to 2017 are examined. Firstly, the functions of the board of directors and the role of independent directors are introduced. Then, the impact of the institutional changes of the board of directors on the proportion of independent directors is investigated. Next, the determinants of the structure of the board of directors are reviewed. Thus, two hypotheses are proposed. According to the regression results of the model, hypothesis 1B presents positive significance. It can be concluded through the influence of the largest shareholder’s shareholding ratio on the proportion of independent directors in the board of directors that the higher the shareholding ratio of the largest shareholder, the higher the proportion of independent directors. By increasing the proportion of independent directors, the voting space of non-independent directors will be squeezed, so as to increase their control. This study reveals that the ownership structure is an essential factor influencing the structure of the board of directors, constituting a crucial supplement to the literature on the determinants of the structure of the board of directors.
本文对2008 - 2017年大股东和独立董事比例的相关数据进行了检验。首先,介绍了董事会的职能和独立董事的作用。然后,考察了董事会制度变迁对独立董事比例的影响。接下来,对董事会结构的决定因素进行了回顾。因此,我们提出了两个假设。从模型的回归结果来看,假设1B具有正显著性。通过第一大股东持股比例对独立董事在董事会中所占比例的影响可以得出,第一大股东持股比例越高,独立董事所占比例越高。通过增加独立董事的比例,会挤压非独立董事的投票空间,从而增加他们的控制力。本研究表明,股权结构是影响董事会结构的重要因素,是对董事会结构决定因素文献的重要补充。

Conspicuous consumption means consumers prefer to buy expensive items to show their wealth and status to society. This study objective is to develop a framework that connects conspicuous consumption variables with the aspirations and consequences and to test the model among the migrant blue-collar workers located in the GCC countries. Primary data was collected with a structured questionnaire from 400 blue-collar migrant workers in GCC countries. Eight hypotheses were formed and tested by using factor analysis and structural equation model analysis. The study concluded that blue-collar expatriate workers exhibit a high level of lush luxury behavior to gain family and social acceptance, which is one of the best ways of expressing themselves; however these are attained at the cost of financial sustainability of personal wellbeing.
炫耀性消费是指消费者喜欢购买昂贵的物品,向社会展示自己的财富和地位。本研究的目的是建立一个框架,将炫耀性消费变量与愿望和后果联系起来,并在海湾合作委员会国家的移民蓝领工人中测试该模型。对海湾合作委员会国家的400名蓝领移徙工人进行了结构化问卷调查,收集了主要数据。通过因子分析和结构方程模型分析,形成了8个假设并进行了检验。研究得出的结论是,蓝领外派工人表现出高度奢华的奢侈行为,以获得家庭和社会的认可,这是表达自我的最佳方式之一;然而,这些都是以个人福利的财务可持续性为代价实现的。

Family businesses in our country and in the world are an important force in the economy. Therefore, the importance of family businesses in the economy is indisputably large. But nowadays competition and globalization reduce the sustainability of family businesses. This situation firstly harms the family business and then the economy significantly. Strategic management has become a necessity in today’s world where competition is increasing day by day and competition is globalized. Strategic management activities are carried out to ensure long-term success in almost all sectors. They can achieve the target and long-term achievements that they want to achieve in the near future through strategic management. The focus of this study is on the adoption of a strategic management approach to the positions that enterprises must take against the conditions arising from global competition.
在我国乃至世界范围内,家族企业都是经济中的一支重要力量。因此,家族企业在经济中的重要性是无可争议的。但如今,竞争和全球化削弱了家族企业的可持续性。这种情况首先损害了家族企业,然后严重损害了经济。在竞争日益加剧、竞争全球化的今天,战略管理已成为一种必要。战略管理活动的开展是为了确保几乎所有部门的长期成功。他们可以通过战略管理在不久的将来实现他们想要实现的目标和长期成就。本研究的重点是对企业在全球竞争所产生的条件下必须采取的立场采取战略管理办法。
