Abstract Implementation of diverse talent management (TM) practices allows enhancing diversity and inclusion and may influence organizational outcomes. The paper investigates the relationship between generation diverse TM practices and firm performance. We use the data from 82 companies to reveal factors that shape generation diverse TM practices. We claim that there is a positive link between those practices and firm performance. We also find that the way of thinking and decision-making, the level of responsibility, the reaction to changes and innovations, the skillset, and the level of ambition tend to vary among generations and that these factors determine TM practices for generations.

Abstract Strategy development and appropriate organizational structure are crucial for the management of non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Performance is also an essential concept for NGOs, even they perform on a volunteer basis. This study focuses on NGO’s strategy and organizational structure and tests their mediating roles between contingency factors (environmental predictability and information technology usage) and performance indicators (effectiveness and sustainability). This study supported empirical results from a survey and utilized a structural equation model. The results indicate that partial mediation exists among all the mentioned contingency variables and performance indicators via structure and between environment and effectiveness via structure.

Abstract This study investigates the impact of remittance inflow on the economic growth of sub-Saharan African countries by considering the role of financial sector development, institutional quality, and economic freedom. The study includes 26 sub-Sahara African countries over the period 2010–2019. By employing the two-step system GMM, the finding shows remittance alone hurts economic growth. When remittance interacts with financial sector development, institutional quality, and economic growth, the coefficient of the interaction term is positive. The study concludes that a well-developed financial sector, better institutional quality, and economic freedom mitigates the negative impact of remittance inflow on economic growth.

Abstract In this study, we test whether uncertainty shocks can affect the choice between direct investments and international trade as competitive modes of operating on foreign markets. In order to verify this, we built simple investments-to-trade ratios and used them with selected uncertainty measures in VAR models. Our analysis shows that in the case of the Polish manufacturing sector, different types of uncertainty not only affect the choice between direct investments abroad and exports but also affect the choice between foreign direct investment and imports as different modes of supplying the Polish market by foreign entities.

Abstract As the understanding of well-being expands, organizations now see well-being as one of the focal areas of their interest. This paper provides evidence from Russian organizations that illustrate key issues of well-being program adoption and management. A qualitative research study was conducted with representatives from human resource development departments (further -HRD). The findings indicate the absence of the holistic view on well-being as such and human resource management (further-HRM) practices oriented on well-being in the Russian context. Our study highlighted the importance of enhancing the role of HRD managers and their responsibility for the implementation of these practices.

Abstract Based on quantitative and qualitative empirical methods this research adds to the understanding of the control of subsidiaries through expatriates by investigating the issue specifically in the CEE region. In this study the multifaceted contributions of expatriates to the control and operations of subsidiaries are emphasized, although a significant positive relationship between the use of expatriates and subsidiary performance is found only for certain observation periods and on some of the performance indicators. The results are in line with those of previous research in other regions that have reported contradictory tendencies regarding the impact of employing expatriates on subsidiary performance.

Abstract This paper investigates the factors important for bilateral services trade between Kazakhstan and other countries. The subject of this article is trade in services in Kazakhstan. Our goal is to determine the factors significantly affecting trade in services in Kazakhstan. Our central hypothesis is that the Eurasian economic union (EAEU) membership was not essential for trade in services in Kazakhstan. The main result is that external trade in services is mainly influenced by factors such as the distance between Kazakhstan and partner countries and the GDP growth rate of partner countries.

Abstract This study investigates the effects of 7 internal corporate factors on the liquidity of 30 French and 30 Taiwanese banks and uses the Quick Ratio (LIQ) as a liquidity proxy using quarterly data from 2012 to 2018. The analysis employs multiple linear panel regression models, namely, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS); and both Fixed Effects (FE), and Random Effects (RE) are used as robustness tests. This research examines financial leverage (LEV), size (SZ), return on total assets (ROTA), operating profit (OP), customer loans and bank loans (CLBL), return on equity (ROE), and working capital ratio (WCR) as possible factors influencing a bank’s liquidity. Findings show that banks from both countries do not exhibit many similarities except that SZ positively affects LIQ. For French banks and all banks combined, LEV and ROTA have the same negative relationship with LIQ, whereas WCR has a positive relationship. However, these ratios do not show any significance for Taiwanese banks. Bigger French banks mostly show different results from smaller French banks. LEV and ROE positively affect LIQ, and WCR negatively affects LIQ for bigger French banks, while the opposite is true for smaller French banks. However, both LIQ is negatively influenced by ROTA. Bigger Taiwanese banks show a similar and negative influence of CLBL and WCR on LIQ with smaller Taiwanese banks. This paper provides original empirical evidence in examining financial factors that management can use to better understand changes in a bank’s liquidity. It also contributes to the literature by understanding the different effects of corporate variables on the liquidity of French and Taiwanese banks.

Abstract The present study analyses MNEs’ internationalization’s strategic motivation within different institutional and regulatory contexts through a study of Greek firms. Based on home country deficiencies, the study conceptualizes different internationalization motives in different regions, particularly CEECs and Western European countries. We use a unique database consisting of macro- and micro-level data covering the entire population of greenfield investments made from 2003 to 2019. Our analysis is based on Dunning and Lundan’s eclectic paradigm. Empirical evidence resulting from a panel data analysis and the fixed effects method corroborates our conceptualization of dualism on FDI motivations among the regions. In addition, a significant role of investment freedom is identified, which, depending on the region, either reinforces or moderates the importance of firm efficiency.

Abstract Using a comprehensive database of 6,331 firms obtained from 78 countries, this study examines the impact of human capital investment in employee training and development upon the firm financial performance through the research and development intensity of innovation capital. Various analyses were employed, including descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and mediation analysis. Study results revealed the partial mediation role of innovation capital upon the relationship between human capital investment and firm performance as measured by accounting-based return on assets. However, the role of innovation capital converted to full mediation when market-based Tobin’s Q was used for the performance measurement.
