The study explores the impact of different dimensions of organisational culture on job performance and satisfaction level of employees via mediating effect of psychological capital. The cause-and-effect relationship of employees’ job performance with job satisfaction and satisfaction with life is determined. The structural equation modelling method is used for determining the relationship among factors. There is a significant and positive impact of organisational culture on employees’ job performance that indeed affects the job and life satisfaction level of people in the organisations. Psychological capital plays a significant partial mediating role between organisational culture and employees’ job performance.

We investigate the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on firm performance using the quarterly financial data of firms from 89 countries and show that the pandemic has a detrimental impact on firm performance. The firms that held more long-term debt and account receivables on their balance sheet before the pandemic were relatively more affected amid the pandemic. The cash buffers can make firms more resilient to the COVID-19 crisis. The quality of a country's governance plays a vital role in mitigating the adverse impact of the pandemic on firm performance.

How are identity narratives maintained over one's lifetime when neither the enactment of one's work role nor the organised holding environments can be assumed? In his autobiography, Ahluwalia continues to narrate himself as a mountaineer, despite the end of his mountaineering career following a war-induced disability. Locating his account alongside the existent literature on identity work within holding environments, I clarify the processes through which different holding environments – the interpersonal and the relatively impersonal – can facilitate the maintenance of individuals’ identity narratives and how the environments themselves may be shaped over time.

This study examines the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditure on the corporate performance of listed firms in India. It tries to explore the effect of business group affiliation and mandatory CSR norm on the CSR-performance relationship. The study period ranges from 2016 to 2021, and the data set comprises companies listed on the National Stock Exchange India. It employs a dynamic panel data model, and more specifically the system generalised method of moments technique to examine this issue. The results reveal a significant and positive association between CSR expenditure and corporate performance. It also shows that business group affiliation reduces CSR-performance sensitivity. Further, we find that mandatory CSR norms significantly influence the CSR-performance relationship.

The study aims to determine the influence of behavioural biases on financial risk propensity. It also attempts to examine the influence of financial risk propensity on investment decisions and the mediational role of financial risk propensity on the relationship between behavioural biases and investment decisions. A survey by questionnaire method is adopted to collect data from 203 respondents using the purposive sampling technique among the investors. The study has found that prospect, herding, and heuristics dimensions of behavioural bias have a significant impact on financial risk propensity, and in turn, financial risk propensity has a significant impact on investment decisions. The results of the study can help to develop more realistic investment valuation models in light of the revised risk-return expectations of investors who act contrary to the traditional concept of rational utility maximisers.

Telecommunication provides the infrastructure to deliver core services but contributes to extensive CO2 emissions. To address the problem, this paper introduces environmental sustainability index for the telecom sector to reduce carbon emissions. The present work identifies the most critical factors that reduce carbon emission in a multiple-stage telecom supply chain through an extensive literature review, followed by developing an environmental sustainability index to measure carbon reduction efforts. A detailed survey was conducted among the personnel of the Indian telecom sector to understand the initiatives for carbon emission reduction. The study employed factor analysis and multiple regression to achieve its objectives.

This paper examines the impact of substituting regular classroom programmes with online classes on students’ academic performance. We compared the change in the delivery mechanism of preparatory courses for two consecutive Master of Business Administration (MBA) batches in one of the top business schools in India. While the first batch studied in a face-to-face classroom setting, the second batch was taught two subjects in an online format, while the third subject continued to be offered in the face-to-face classroom setting. Using a difference-in-difference estimation, we found that the students' performance declined in both the subjects offered online, with the average performance declining by 4.95% and 8.4% in Economics and Accounting, respectively. However, no decline in performance was noted in the third subject of Quantitative Methods, offered in a face-to-face classroom setting. Further, we found a larger drop in scores for students with the lowest academic ability. Our results indicate that a shift to online courses should be accompanied by well-designed pedagogical and curriculum changes to ensure substantive learning, especially for academically weaker students.

The present study examines the Indian small-cap cycle between April 2011 and March 2022. The ordinary least squares (OLS) estimate shows that investors can benefit from investing in the Nifty Small-Cap 100 index by following a proper exponential moving average strategy. The study findings also highlighted that among macroeconomic factors, ‘term spread’ might influence the Nifty Small-Cap 100 index returns (NIFSC100R). The daily returns of the Russell 2000 index, the relative change in international crude oil prices (RCO), and the relative change in the exchange rate between USD and INR (RUSDINR) show no statistically significant impact on NIFSC100R.

Robo-advisors are still in their nascent stages of use, and this technology has yet to find wider acceptance with investors. Our study extends the domain of technology acceptance to robo-advisors by identifying the drivers of investor adoption. Investment decisions carry high risks; thus, there is a greater need to understand investor behaviour to adopt robo-advisors. Trust, anxiety, performance expectancy, and preference for human advisors are used as variables to predict investors’ intentions. PLS-SEM is employed to examine the data with a sample size of 445 investors. Results suggest that all these variables play a significant role in determining the behavioural intention of investors towards the adoption of robo-advisors.
