Manuscript type: Research paperResearch aims: This study aims to examine the underlying psychological and sociological factors that drive excess trading in the Malaysian stock market during a global health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/Methodology/Approach: A self-administered online questionnaire was collected from 271 individual investors to examine the association between big-five personality traits and trading frequency. Demographic information and investment behaviours of investors were also included in the study. The multinomial logit regression model was used to test the research hypotheses. Research findings: Findings show that personality traits such as openness to experience and agreeableness have a significant influence on trading frequency. Demographic factors and investment behaviours such as gender, household income level, years of investment experience and type of investor all have a significant positive relationship with trading frequency. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the current investor behaviour literature in Malaysia, which remains to be very limited, especially during a global health crisis. The study indicates that personality traits, demographic, socio-economic factors, and investment behaviours affect the trading frequency of Malaysian. Practitioner/Policy implication: This study offers insights for financial institutions and individual investors on the type of personality traits, demographic, socio-economic factors, and investment behaviours that drive excess trading during a global health crisis. The findings provide important contributions to avoid serious mistakes in investment analysis and trading profitable investment strategies, thus improving individual and team performance. Research limitation/Implications: Some results are not significant and may be limited due to the small sample size used in this study. Future research could recruit more retail investors to confirm the significance level of those variables. Besides, the study can be conducted after the COVID-19 pandemic to explore whether there is any significant difference in the variables during and after the global health crisis.
研究目的:本研究旨在研究在COVID-19大流行等全球健康危机期间推动马来西亚股市过度交易的潜在心理和社会学因素。设计/方法/方法:从271名个人投资者中收集了一份自我管理的在线问卷,以检验大五人格特征与交易频率之间的关系。研究还包括投资者的人口统计信息和投资行为。采用多项logistic回归模型对研究假设进行检验。研究发现:研究结果表明,开放性、亲和性等性格特征对交易频率有显著影响。性别、家庭收入水平、投资年限、投资者类型等人口统计学因素和投资行为与交易频率均存在显著正相关关系。理论贡献/独创性:本研究对马来西亚目前的投资者行为文献作出了贡献,这些文献仍然非常有限,特别是在全球卫生危机期间。研究表明,人格特质、人口、社会经济因素和投资行为影响马来西亚人的交易频率。从业者/政策启示:本研究为金融机构和个人投资者提供了在全球卫生危机期间驱动过度交易的人格特征、人口、社会经济因素和投资行为类型的见解。研究结果为避免投资分析中的严重错误和交易有利可图的投资策略,从而提高个人和团队的绩效提供了重要贡献。研究限制/启示:由于本研究使用的样本量较小,一些结果并不显著,可能受到限制。未来的研究可以招募更多的散户投资者来确认这些变量的显著性水平。此外,研究可以在COVID-19大流行之后进行,以探索全球卫生危机期间和之后的变量是否存在显著差异。

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to shed light on the factors that facilitate online purchase of perfume. It specifically: 1) explores the antecedents of online purchase behaviour in the case of experience goods; 2) analyses the motivations, perceived benefits and perceived risks associated with online purchase of perfume; and 3) identifies perfume e-shoppers’ profiles. Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative research approach involving interviewing 27 perfume e-shoppers from Brazil, Iran and Portugal was adopted. Research findings: The findings of this study reveal that there are three types of perfume e-shoppers: 1) experienced e-shoppers, 2) bargain e-seekers, and 3) expert e-shoppers. Competitive prices, enjoyable online experiences and greater varieties of perfumes are among the perceived benefits that motivate the online shoppers. The inability to test the perfumes, particularly those that are never tried before, appears to be the major drawback. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides interesting cues on a topic that has so far been disregarded by the literature despite its growing importance as a business sector—online purchase of perfumes. It offers the categorisation of three e-shopper profiles, based on consumers’ narratives, and highlighted the importance of further addressing the dynamic nature of consumer behaviours, particularly in the online context. Practitioner/Policy implications: The findings show that the main trigger of buying perfume online is the price discounts, which is particularly important to less experienced Web shoppers. This indicates that experience goods such as perfume should, at the initial stage, be sold in stores that offer an assortment of products. Online perfume stores should consider alternatives to provide perfume testing. Research limitation/Implications: Purposive sampling does not allow results’ generalisation; hence future research is needed to further validate the findings.
手稿类型:研究论文研究目的:本研究旨在阐明促进在线购买香水的因素。具体而言:1)在体验商品的情况下,探讨了网上购买行为的前因;2) 分析了网上购买香水的动机、感知利益和感知风险;以及3)识别香水电子购物者的档案。设计/方法/方法:采用了定性研究方法,采访了来自巴西、伊朗和葡萄牙的27名香水电子购物者。研究结果:这项研究的结果表明,香水电子购物者有三种类型:1)经验丰富的电子购物者,2)讨价还价的电子购物者和3)专业的电子购物者。有竞争力的价格、愉快的在线体验和更多种类的香水是激励在线购物者的明显好处。无法测试香水,尤其是那些从未尝试过的香水,似乎是主要的缺点。理论贡献/独创性:这项研究为一个迄今为止被文献忽视的话题提供了有趣的线索,尽管它作为一个商业部门的重要性越来越大——在线购买香水。它根据消费者的叙述,对三个电子购物者档案进行了分类,并强调了进一步解决消费者行为动态性质的重要性,特别是在网络环境中。从业者/政策含义:研究结果表明,在网上购买香水的主要诱因是价格折扣,这对经验不足的网购者来说尤为重要。这表明,香水等体验商品在最初阶段应该在提供各种产品的商店中销售。在线香水商店应该考虑提供香水测试的替代品。研究局限性/影响:有目的的抽样不允许结果的泛化;因此,未来的研究需要进一步验证这些发现。

Dividend Payout Policy and Global Financial Crisis: A Study on Malaysian Non-Financial Listed Companies 股利支付政策与全球金融危机——马来西亚非金融上市公司研究
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.6
H. Boo, Tze-Haw Chan
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This paper examines the impact of the global financial crisis on Malaysia non-financial index firms’ dividend policies. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper used panel data of 495 firm-year observations of Malaysian non-financial index firms from 2006 to 2016. Research findings: Our findings indicate that firms adjust their dividend policies during the pre-crisis and post-crisis periods; more profitable and larger firms are more likely to distribute their dividend payouts, whereas firms with higher leverage are more likely to omit their dividends. Moreover, dividend policies that will increase firms’ valuation are adopted in Malaysia. This is reflected in the signalling theory with evidence that higher profitability exerts a positive influence on firms’ propensity to increase and/or maintain dividends over different study periods, implying that markets attach a high valuation to firms that can pay, especially during the crisis period. We also find the role of catering theory and smoothing hypothesis lost relevance in both crisis and non-crisis periods. Thus, the catering theory and smoothing hypothesis were not supported in Malaysia. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study investigates the impact of the global financial crisis on Malaysia non-financial index firms’ dividend policies. This paper suggestion can act as a catalyst to more comprehensive and detailed researches and studies on dividend policy in any economic landscapes. Practitioner/Policy implications: This paper may also guide companies on the structure and use of dividend distribution over the precrisis, during the crisis, and post-crisis periods. Research limitation/Implications: One limitation of the study is that the measures used for dividend payout determinants are only based on the theory investigated. These measures may not completely reflect all the payout determinants. Future research could address this limitation by employing other factors in the study of dividend policy such as inflation, economic growth, and corporate governance.
手稿类型:研究论文研究目的:本文考察了全球金融危机对马来西亚非金融指数公司股息政策的影响。设计/方法/方法:本文使用了2006年至2016年马来西亚非金融指数公司495个公司年度的面板数据。研究结果:我们的研究结果表明,企业在危机前和危机后调整股息政策;盈利能力越强、规模越大的公司更有可能分配股息,而杠杆率越高的公司则更有可能省略股息。此外,马来西亚还采取了提高公司估值的股息政策。这反映在信号理论中,有证据表明,在不同的研究期内,较高的盈利能力对公司增加和/或保持股息的倾向产生了积极影响,这意味着市场对能够支付股息的公司的估值很高,尤其是在危机期。我们还发现,迎合理论和平滑假说的作用在危机和非危机时期都失去了相关性。因此,迎合理论和平滑假说在马来西亚没有得到支持。理论贡献/原创性:本研究调查了全球金融危机对马来西亚非金融指数公司股息政策的影响。本文的建议可以作为催化剂,对任何经济环境下的股息政策进行更全面、更详细的研究。从业者/政策含义:本文还可以指导公司在危机前、危机期间和危机后时期的股息分配结构和使用。研究局限性/含义:该研究的一个局限性是,用于股息支付决定因素的指标仅基于所研究的理论。这些衡量标准可能并不完全反映所有支出决定因素。未来的研究可以通过在股息政策研究中采用通货膨胀、经济增长和公司治理等其他因素来解决这一限制。

Relative Influences of Review and Engagement Auditor Rotation on Audit Quality: Evidence from China 复核和审计业务审计师轮转对审计质量的相对影响:来自中国的证据
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.7
Sang Ho Kim, Jianqun Xi
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study focuses on the effects of audit partner rotation on audit quality (AQ) in China. In particular, we examine the effects of review auditors (RAs) and engagement auditors (EAs) on AQ when they voluntarily and mandatorily rotate. Design/Methodology/Approach: The data in this study are retrieved from the Chinese Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) database. We develop an OLS regression model and logit model respectively to test the hypotheses developed. Finally, we have 13,856 firm-year observations collected for the first regression model, and 16,893 firm-year observations gathered for the second logit model from 2003 to 2015. Research findings: Findings show that RAs are more likely to behave opportunistically to retain clients by weighing up the benefits and costs of compromising audit quality in the first year after a rotation. The results imply that RAs may have an incentive to acquiesce the clients’ accounting irregularities in their first year of audit engagement when they are mandatorily rotated. However, we do not find this trend in terms of EAs’ rotation, suggesting that EAs are less affected by the auditor-client relationship compared to RAs. In addition, we find that RAs are less likely to issue modified audit opinions (MOPI) as the magnitude of negative discretionary accruals (DA) increases when they are voluntarily rotated. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Previous studies have investigated the relationship between mandatory audit partner rotation and audit quality. The results are mixed and inconclusive. Our study contributes to the extant literature by considering RAs’ opportunistic behaviour after mandatory rotation, which has not been explored in previous studies. In China, only a few studies have examined the relationship between mandatory audit partner rotation and audit quality. Our study is one of the first study focusing on the RA’s influence on AQ. Practitioner/Policy implication: The findings of our study can help Chinese authorities, listed firms and academics gain more understanding on whether mandatory audit partner rotation improves audit quality in practice. Since RAs have greater incentive to retain the existing client, we propose that RAs should bear more responsibility for the audit work, instead of the equally shared responsibility with EAs. Research limitation/Implications: Our study is subject to some limitations. First, our study adopts the performance-adjusted discretionary accruals as a proxy for audit quality. However, there can be a measurement error in estimating discretionary accruals. Second, we focus on the auditor rotation and exclude the case of audit firm rotation. Since the AQ can be affected by various factors, audit firm rotation can also affect AQ. Third, although we test the relative effects of RAs and EAs in audit work, we do not examine the effect of RAs’ characteristics such as their professional experience, educational backg
研究目的:本研究主要探讨中国审计合伙人轮换对审计质量的影响。特别地,我们检查了审查审计员(ra)和审计业务审计员(ea)在自愿和强制轮换时对AQ的影响。设计/方法/方法:本研究的数据来自中国股票市场与会计研究(CSMAR)数据库。我们分别建立了OLS回归模型和logit模型来检验所提出的假设。最后,我们为第一个回归模型收集了13,856个公司年观测值,为第二个logit模型收集了2003 - 2015年的16,893个公司年观测值。研究发现:研究结果表明,注册会计师更有可能在轮换后的第一年权衡损害审计质量的收益和成本,从而采取机会主义行为来留住客户。研究结果表明,当注册会计师被强制轮岗时,他们可能有动机在审计业务的第一年默许客户的会计违规行为。然而,我们在审计助理的轮换中没有发现这种趋势,这表明与审计助理相比,审计助理受审计客户关系的影响较小。此外,我们发现注册会计师不太可能发布修改审计意见(MOPI),因为当他们自愿轮换时,负的可操纵性应计利润(DA)的幅度增加。理论贡献/独创性:已有研究对强制审计合伙人轮换与审计质量的关系进行了研究。结果喜忧参半,尚无定论。我们的研究通过考虑RAs在强制轮换后的机会主义行为,为现有文献做出了贡献,这在以前的研究中没有被探讨过。在中国,只有少数研究考察了强制审计合伙人轮换与审计质量之间的关系。我们的研究是第一个关注注册会计师对审计质量影响的研究之一。从业者/政策启示:我们的研究结果可以帮助中国当局、上市公司和学术界更好地理解强制审计合伙人轮岗是否在实践中提高了审计质量。由于注册会计师有更大的动机保留现有客户,我们建议注册会计师承担更多的审计工作责任,而不是与审计机构平等地分担责任。研究局限/启示:我们的研究受到一些限制。首先,我们的研究采用绩效调整后的可自由支配应计利润作为审计质量的代理指标。但是,在估计可自由支配应计项目时可能存在计量误差。其次,我们关注的是审计师轮岗,排除了审计事务所轮岗的情况。由于审计会计师的执业资格会受到各种因素的影响,因此审计事务所轮岗也会影响审计会计师的执业资格。第三,虽然我们测试了注册会计师和注册会计师在审计工作中的相对影响,但我们没有考察注册会计师的专业经验、教育背景和服务年限等特征的影响。空气质量可受空气质量因子特征的影响。

IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.2
E. Sleilati, Cynthia Jabbour sfeir
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study investigates the impact of value co-creation behaviour on customer loyalty within the context of social media. It also attempts to determine the role played by customer brand experience and customer satisfaction as mediating variables. Design/Methodology/Approach: Drawing upon the service-dominant logic theory, a research framework is developed and tested using the structural equation modelling. The data comprise the input of 449 respondents from Lebanon. Research findings: The findings provide substantial evidence showing the relationship between customer value co-creation behaviour and customer loyalty. This relationship is partially mediated by customer brand experience. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study expands on existing literature by investigating how customer value co-creation behaviours can lead to customer loyalty within the social media context of Lebanon. Practitioner/Policy implications: The findings can assist managers in understanding how customer loyalty can be promoted through co-creation behaviours within social media. The results suggest that managers should provide the means which can encourage more behavioural, intellectual and affective customer reviews/feedback. Research limitation/Implications: The limitation of this study rests on its findings which cannot be generalised to a wider business community as it focuses only on the context of Lebanon.

Materiality Disclosure in Sustainability Reporting: Evidence from Malaysia 可持续发展报告的重要性披露:来自马来西亚的证据
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.9
Sie Bing Ngu, A. Amran
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This paper aims to examine the determinants that influence companies to report material sustainability information in their corporate annual reports. Design/Methodology/Approach: To validate the determinants influencing materiality disclosure, content analysis was conducted on the annual reports of the top 113 Malaysian public listed companies in 2016, and the smart partial least squares technique was employed to examine the proposed relationships. Research findings: The empirical results indicate that board activity and board independence play a significant role in the determination of materiality disclosure. The results also reveal that board size, company size, profitability, leverage and industry are insignificant predictors of materiality disclosure. The results indicate that many listed companies in Malaysia disclose some amount of material sustainability information. However, the level of disclosure remains relatively low. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Notwithstanding that materiality is regarded as a key reporting principle in the preparation of sustainability reports, research on the application of the materiality concept in sustainability reporting remains to be an unexplored theme in Malaysia. This work sheds light on materiality disclosure in sustainability reporting of large companies operating in Malaysia through the combined views of the stakeholder and legitimacy theories. Practitioner/Policy implications: The results should be of great interest to policymakers who are concerned with formulating sustainability policies to achieve greater materiality disclosure. It also provides strategic insights to companies that board characteristics, such as board activity and board independence, influence materiality disclosure. Board members are urged to consider the importance of the reporting materiality determination process; otherwise, poor reporting may result in conflict with major stakeholder groups who do not see the material issues disclosed in the sustainability reports. Research limitation/Implications: The results are limited to the context of Malaysia. Future researchers can compare materiality disclosure with other countries, such as Singapore and Thailand, to enrich the sustainability reporting literature.
手稿类型:研究论文研究目的:本文旨在研究影响公司在公司年度报告中报告重大可持续性信息的决定因素。设计/方法/方法:为了验证影响实质性披露的决定因素,对马来西亚前113家上市公司2016年的年度报告进行了内容分析,并采用智能偏最小二乘法来检验所提出的关系。研究发现:实证结果表明,董事会活动性和董事会独立性在重要性披露的决定中起着重要作用。研究结果还表明,董事会规模、公司规模、盈利能力、杠杆率和行业是重要性披露的不显著预测因素。研究结果表明,马来西亚许多上市公司披露了一些实质性的可持续性信息。然而,披露水平仍然相对较低。理论贡献/独创性:尽管实质性被视为编制可持续性报告的一项关键报告原则,但在马来西亚,关于在可持续性报告中应用实质性概念的研究仍然是一个尚未探索的主题。这项工作通过利益相关者和合法性理论的结合,揭示了在马来西亚运营的大公司可持续性报告中的实质性披露。从业者/政策影响:决策者应该对结果非常感兴趣,他们关心制定可持续性政策,以实现更大的实质性披露。它还为公司提供了董事会特征(如董事会活动和董事会独立性)影响实质性披露的战略见解。敦促董事会成员考虑报告重要性确定程序的重要性;否则,糟糕的报告可能会导致与主要利益相关者群体发生冲突,他们没有看到可持续性报告中披露的重大问题。研究局限性/影响:研究结果仅限于马来西亚的情况。未来的研究人员可以将实质性披露与新加坡和泰国等其他国家进行比较,以丰富可持续性报告文献。

‘This Isn’t My Expectation’: Excel in Auditing “这不是我的期望”:擅长审计
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.4
Diana Tien Irafahmi, P. Williams
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study examines the perceptions of undergraduate accounting students about the use of Excel in an auditing course. Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative interview design is employed in this study. A total of 20 participants shared their perceptions in three group interviews. Their statements were analysed using thematic analysis. Research findings: Themes of agility and undesirability appeared central to the experience of Excel usage in auditing. The agility theme refers to students’ rapid adaptation to the use of Excel for auditing purposes. The undesirability theme deals with students’ expectations of using software beyond Excel. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study generated an understanding of expectations around technology from the perspective of accounting students, which is rarely examined. For students, the future of the accounting and auditing profession relies on up-to-date technologies, and universities should provide experiences in accessing and learning to use such technologies in accounting education. Practitioner/Policy implications: The findings of this study provide an understanding for accounting educators and higher education institutions about the expectations of students related to the type of technology that must be covered in accounting curricula. Research limitations: This study collected data from only one public university in Indonesia. Students’ perceptions in this institution may not be the same as those in other institutions. Caution must be taken when generalising and interpreting the findings to other institutions.
研究目的:本研究考察了会计专业本科生在审计课程中使用Excel的看法。设计/方法/方法:本研究采用定性访谈设计。共有20名参与者在三次小组访谈中分享了他们的看法。对他们的发言进行了专题分析。研究发现:敏捷性和不受欢迎的主题出现在审计中使用Excel的体验的中心。敏捷性主题是指学生快速适应使用Excel进行审计。不受欢迎的主题涉及学生对使用Excel以外软件的期望。理论贡献/独创性:本研究从会计专业学生的角度对技术期望产生了理解,这一点很少得到检验。对于学生来说,会计和审计职业的未来依赖于最新的技术,大学应该在会计教育中提供获取和学习使用这些技术的经验。从业者/政策影响:本研究的结果为会计教育者和高等教育机构提供了关于学生对会计课程中必须涵盖的技术类型的期望的理解。研究局限性:本研究仅收集了印度尼西亚一所公立大学的数据。这所学校的学生的看法可能与其他学校的学生不一样。在向其他机构推广和解释研究结果时,必须谨慎。

Exploring the Relationship between Formal Management Control Systems, Organisational Performance and Innovation: The Role of Leadership Characteristics 正式管理控制系统、组织绩效和创新之间的关系探讨:领导特征的作用
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.8
Dhiona Ayu Nani, V. Safitri
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to examine the relationship between the formal management control system (MCS) on organisational performance and innovation. It also evaluates the role of leadership characteristics as the moderating variable between MCS and innovation. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a survey questionnaire, and data collected from business units of Indonesian manufacturing and services firms. The warp partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach was employed to analyse the data and test the proposed model. Research findings: The findings demonstrate that: (1) A welldesigned formal MCS can improve organisational performance and innovation; (2) managers with good characteristics such as showing good behaviour through compliance with company rules, involving themselves in subordinates’ activities, and supporting subordinates’ ideas, can improve subordinates’ creativity in producing innovation. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study expands the existing literature by examining the role of leadership characteristics as a moderating variable between the formal management control system (MCS) and innovation. Practitioner/Policy implications: The findings of this study demonstrate that, for Indonesian firms to compete in globally-competitive markets, they need to implement well-designed formal MCS. For formal MCS to contribute to innovation, managers who demonstrate good leadership characteristics are crucial. Research limitation/Implications: Future research can investigate comparative analyses of different ASEAN countries since different Asian countries have different dominant cultures and values, which may have some impact on MCS, organisational performance and innovation. It may also consider how different types of MCS improve organisational performance and innovation performance.
手稿类型:研究论文研究目的:本研究旨在考察正式管理控制系统(MCS)对组织绩效和创新之间的关系。它还评估了领导特征作为MCS和创新之间的调节变量的作用。设计/方法/方法:本研究采用了一份调查问卷,以及从印尼制造和服务公司的业务部门收集的数据。采用翘曲偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)方法对数据进行分析和测试。研究结果表明:(1)精心设计的正式MCS可以提高组织绩效和创新能力;(2) 具有良好特征的管理者,如通过遵守公司规则表现出良好的行为,参与下属的活动,支持下属的想法,可以提高下属在创新中的创造力。理论贡献/独创性:本研究通过考察领导特征作为正式管理控制系统(MCS)和创新之间的调节变量的作用,扩展了现有文献。从业者/政策含义:这项研究的结果表明,印尼公司要想在全球竞争市场中竞争,就需要实施精心设计的正式MCS。为了使正式的MCS有助于创新,表现出良好领导特征的管理者至关重要。研究局限性/影响:未来的研究可以调查不同东盟国家的比较分析,因为不同的亚洲国家有不同的主导文化和价值观,这可能会对MCS、组织绩效和创新产生一些影响。它还可以考虑不同类型的MCS如何提高组织绩效和创新绩效。

Effects of Safety Climate and Employee Engagement towards Organisational Citizenship Behaviour of Sewage Workers 安全氛围和员工参与度对污水处理工人组织公民行为的影响
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.10
Suryani Maryam, E. T. Sule, Joeliaty Joeliaty, Rina Novianty Ariawaty
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to investigate the effects of safety climate and employee engagement on organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB). Design/Methodology/Approach: Drawing from the social exchange theory and flow theory, a theoretical framework was developed and tested using data collected from 610 freelance sewage workers. A questionnaire survey was used to collect the data, while structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was used as the data analysis approach. Research findings: The results reveal that both safety climate and employee engagement have significantly positive impact on employees’ organisational citizenship behaviour amongst sewage workers in Indonesia. This finding indicates that although the sewage cleaners are often employed based on contract and may not be in a position to demand more from the organisations, they do appreciate the organisational commitment in producing a safe workplace environment. They, in return will demonstrate a higher engagement towards their work. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the organisational citizenship behaviour literature by examining how workplace environmental factors such as safety climate affects organisational citizenship behaviour. In the context of sewage cleaning, safety climate is important, as sewage workers are frequently exposed to and threatened by serious health problems. Yet, there has been a paucity of research on the sewage cleaning sector to understand the relationships. Research limitation/Implications: The study implies that when organisations are willing to improve safety climate, their employees will perceive improved safety climate, and then will have more engagement and organisational citizenship behaviour.
研究目的:本研究旨在探讨安全气候和员工敬业度对组织公民行为(OCB)的影响。设计/方法/方法:借鉴社会交换理论和流动理论,开发了一个理论框架,并使用从610名自由排污工人收集的数据进行了测试。采用问卷调查法收集数据,采用结构方程模型(SEM)分析作为数据分析方法。研究发现:结果表明,安全气候和员工敬业度对印度尼西亚污水处理工人的员工组织公民行为有显著的正向影响。这一发现表明,尽管污水清洁工通常是根据合同雇用的,可能没有能力向组织提出更多要求,但他们确实欣赏组织在创造安全工作环境方面的承诺。作为回报,他们将对自己的工作表现出更高的投入。理论贡献/独创性:本研究通过考察工作场所环境因素(如安全气候)如何影响组织公民行为,为组织公民行为文献做出了贡献。在污水清洁方面,安全气候很重要,因为污水工人经常接触严重的健康问题并受到威胁。然而,对污水清洁部门的研究一直缺乏,以了解这种关系。研究局限/启示:研究表明,当组织愿意改善安全气候时,其员工会感受到改善的安全气候,从而会有更多的参与和组织公民行为。

Hype or Hope: Digital Technologies in Auditing Process 炒作还是希望:审计过程中的数字技术
IF 0.9 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-29 DOI: 10.22452/ajba.vol14no1.3
Mohamad Hesham Adnan Allbabidi
Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to examine how technological,organisational and environmental (TOE) factors affect digital technologies’ utilisation and its impact on auditors’ performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A survey was conducted on 4 large and non-large companies in Jordan, and data were retrieved from 168 external auditors. The partial least squares (PLS-3) structural equations modeling was used to analyse data and to test the proposed model. Research findings: Results show that the TOE factors have a significant and positive effect on digital technologies utilisation. It also appears to enhance auditors’ performance. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study fills a gap in the literature of accounting by empirically assessing how digital technologies utilisation impacts the performance of auditors in Jordan. It also expands on previous literature by determining how the TOE factors affect such technology usage in the auditing process. This study also has a methodological contribution in the form of measuring the client’s complexity of IT system from a different perspective, which is from the external auditor’s perspective. Practitioner/Policy implications: This study is expected to help regulators and audit companies to update their policies and regulations so that auditors are trained in using advanced technologies, and in protecting the security of accounting information. In this regard, efficient auditors will be able to protect investors, thereby creating an attractive environment for investment which can boost economic growth. Research limitation/Implications: This study is based on the Jordanian context. There was no comparison made with developing or developed countries, hence no distinctions can be detected. Future studies should focus on looking at other countries so as to provide new insights into the auditing profession, and specifically, auditors’ performance. Finally, this study is a practical guide for external and internal auditors who have not considered digital technologies, in the context of Jordan. Future studies may thus consider internal auditors and their relationship with external auditors in digital technologies utilisation.
研究目的:本研究旨在研究技术、组织和环境(TOE)因素如何影响数字技术的利用及其对审计师绩效的影响。设计/方法/方法:对约旦的4家大型和非大型公司进行了调查,数据来自168名外部审计员。采用偏最小二乘(PLS-3)结构方程模型对模型进行数据分析和检验。研究发现:结果表明,TOE因素对数字技术的利用具有显著的积极影响。它似乎也提高了审计师的业绩。理论贡献/独创性:本研究通过实证评估数字技术利用如何影响约旦审计师的绩效,填补了会计文献中的空白。它还通过确定TOE因素如何影响审计过程中此类技术的使用来扩展先前的文献。本研究也有一个方法上的贡献,从不同的角度衡量客户的IT系统的复杂性,这是从外部审计师的角度。从业人员/政策影响:本研究预计将帮助监管机构和审计公司更新其政策和法规,以便审计人员在使用先进技术和保护会计信息安全方面得到培训。在这方面,有效的审计员将能够保护投资者,从而创造一个有吸引力的投资环境,从而促进经济增长。研究局限/启示:本研究基于约旦的背景。没有与发展中国家或发达国家进行比较,因此无法发现任何区别。未来的研究应该着眼于其他国家,以便为审计职业,特别是审计人员的绩效提供新的见解。最后,在约旦的背景下,本研究是外部和内部审计人员没有考虑数字技术的实用指南。因此,未来的研究可能会考虑内部审计师及其与外部审计师在数字技术利用方面的关系。
