Purpose: In today's world; where technology, capital and workforce are in a rapid flow across borders; quantitative indicators, that provide insight into the economic and innovative performance of countries, are of key importance for decision makers. One of these indicators is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI); which is not only a mechanism that drives competition and economic development, but is also an international capital flow. This paper investigates whether FDI has a mediator role in the relationship between Global Innovation Index (GII) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Design/Methodology/Approach: The mediator variable analysis was conducted based on the secondary data of FDI, GII and GDP of 43 countries which has been obtained from the World Bank between 2014 and 2018. Findings: As a result of the analysis, all hypotheses were accepted. Consequently, a positive and significant relationship was found between the Global Innovation Index (GII) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and it was found statistically significant that Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has a mediator role in this relationship. Originality: In the literature, there is not any research that explains the role of FDI in the relation between Global Innovation Index (GII) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In order to address the gap, this study investigates whether FDI has a mediator role in the relationship between GII and GDP.

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to study the agency theory problem. To test the free cash flow (FCF) hypothesis to reduce the agency theory in firms operating in Pakistan. Further, this paper gives an overview of financial reporting conditions and corporate governance practices. Design/methodology/approach: This study has applied panel regression on data. It is collected from 2010 to 2017 from companies listed in the Pakistan stock exchange. This paper used the Fixed and Random effect model to test the relationship. The current study collected data from 119 companies from the stock exchange of Pakistan. Findings: We find that the free cash flow hypothesis exists in firms listed in the Pakistan stock exchange. Debt is the more proper approach to reduce the free cash flows in management control than the dividend. Furthermore, we find that capital expenditure adds to the value of the firms. Originality/value: This study is the first analysis of the agency theory problem to measure the effectiveness of the free cash flow (FCF) hypothesis in the context of public sector nonfinancial firms in the Pakistan Stock exchange. The study contributes to the literature of corporate laws, agency theory, and the dividend payment patterns adopted by firms.

Objective: COVID-19 has caused an unprecedented crisis in the occupational field and affected various aspects of frontline nurses' working and personal lives. Considering that most studies on work-family conflict and its effects examine individualistic societies, the purpose of this study is to examine the effect of work-family conflict on the turnover intention of nurses in Iran mediated by psychological health and workplace stress. Methodology/ approach: The major research strategy is quantitative, and the primary technique is descriptive-survey analytical. This study examined 274 Covid19 frontline nurses in Iran. Data collected with a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural model measurement performed using SEM AMOS 24 software. Findings: The results of data analysis show that work-family conflict negatively affects psychological health while positively affects workplace stress. As well, psychological health reduces the tendency to turnover, while work stress increases turnover intention. The Variables Mediation test found that work-family conflict has an indirect effect on turnover intention. This study helped to comprehend work-family conflict, psychological issues of nurses, and therefore their turnover intention. Practical Implication: Because of the importance of family foundation and the Islamic context, researchers recommend that the health care system devote more attention to nurses' psychological health and personal life during the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures result in a compromise between work and family, resulting in reduced work stress, reduced turnover, and improved psychological well-being. Originality/ Value: It is vital to investigate the consequences of work and personal conflicts of nurses and psychological injuries that threaten people's occupation during COVID-19. The present study is the first research on work-family conflict and its consequences in the COVID-19 crisis in Iran.

Purpose-COVID-19 caused a great deal of anxiety across the world. In addition to the apparent clinical effects in patients contaminated with it, general mental wellbeing has been severely affected. India implemented a lockdown, like other nations, to control and restrict spread of corona virus. Current research aims to address the psychological impact among Indians caused due to preventive measures suggested by WHO. Design/methodology/approach- An online based survey of questions on psychological impact has been carried out among two thousands adult populations. A multi-criteria decision making approach along with statistical analysis have been used to evaluate the data. Findings- Despite the current situation, stress, anxiety, and depression were found to be in normal ranges for mental health among the individuals highlighting their capabilities to remain normal in times of COVID-19. Limitations/implications- Firstly, the sample size was very limited in some categories. Secondly, online Google-forms is used by researchers to gather data that avoids a wider segment of the population, that have no internet, and also particularly underprivileged people. Practical implications- Taking the results of this study into account, it is necessary to develop time-based strategies and enforce national surveillance plans that will better control the outbreak and encourage public mental health in the face of COVID-19 induced psychological difficulties. Originality/value- This article is amongst the first to focus on the link between the multicriteria decision making and statistical analysis
