This research focuses on generating an in-depth understanding of the social innovation process from the perspective of sectoral system of innovation (SSI). It presents a detailed and updated review of studies on social innovation and sectoral system of innovation, regardless of any specific geographical area, in order to augment the generazibility of the research topic. Further, it addresses knowledge gaps derived from a systematic literature review and exhibits novelty by linking social innovation process with the sectoral system of innovation. The review has resulted in a conceptual framework of sectoral system of social innovation that can form the basis for ensuing empirical inquiries.
本研究着重从部门创新系统(sector system of innovation, SSI)的视角,深入了解社会创新过程。它对社会创新和部门创新系统的研究进行了详细和最新的审查,而不考虑任何具体的地理区域,以增加研究主题的普遍性。此外,它解决了来自系统文献综述的知识差距,并通过将社会创新过程与部门创新系统联系起来,展示了新颖性。审查产生了社会创新部门系统的概念框架,可以作为随后的实证调查的基础。

The concept of entrepreneurship in the public sector has prompted a discussion and debate in the public management literature especially with the movement of new public management (NPM) which was initiated to improve the performance of public sector. In this article phenomenon of public entrepreneurship is reviewed systematically by analyzing 90 research articles published between 1990 and 2016. Articles were analyzed based upon the following themes of public entrepreneurship. Definitions of public entrepreneurships, goals of entrepreneurship into public sector, issues and limitation, influencing factors, and main research streams are the main themes analyzed in this systematic literature review. As far as the field of entrepreneurship is concerned, no unanimous definition exists in the literature. Analysis revealed five main dimensions of entrepreneurship in which it was defined. Changing institutional routines, introducing innovation for efficient service delivery, and add social value into public services were the main goals which are to be achieved by the entrepreneurship into public sector. Entrepreneurial practices, paradigm, method, theories, contextual antecedents and implications were the main research streams revealed in this review. Further reviews could be conducted by focusing on exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities in the public sector
公共部门企业家精神的概念在公共管理文献中引起了讨论和辩论,特别是随着新公共管理(NPM)运动的兴起,该运动旨在提高公共部门的绩效。本文通过分析1990年至2016年间发表的90篇研究论文,对大众创业现象进行了系统回顾。文章分析基于以下主题的公众创业。公共创业的定义、公共部门创业的目标、问题与限制、影响因素和主要研究方向是本系统文献综述的主要主题。就创业领域而言,文献中并没有统一的定义。分析揭示了定义企业家精神的五个主要方面。改变体制惯例,引进创新以提供高效率的服务,增加公共服务的社会价值是企业精神进入公共部门要实现的主要目标。创业实践、范式、方法、理论、背景前因和启示是本文的主要研究方向。进一步的审查可以集中于利用公共部门的企业机会

Investigating the Acceptance of Electronic Banking in the Rural Areas of Pakistan: An Application of the Unified Model 巴基斯坦农村地区电子银行接受度调查:统一模型的应用
Pub Date : 2019-09-10 DOI: 10.22547/ber/11.3.3

The fast-growing phenomenon of electronic banking (e-banking) has taken the world by surprise, and despite its proliferation across the globe, its acceptance has not been too encouraging, especially in the rural areas of the developing countries. This study revolves around this very key issue of e-banking acceptance in the rural areas of Pakistan by employing a comprehensive framework of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), called a unified model by Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, and Davis (2003). This paper extends the unified model through personality openness and investigates the moderation of trust between behavioral intentions and usage behavior. Using a survey-based questionnaire, data were collected from the customers of rural areas of Pakistan. The authors obtained 434 valid responses from universities’ students having a rural background and resultantly analyzed through structural equation modeling with Smart-PLS. Our results reveal that performance expectancy, social influence, and effort expectancy have significant and positive impact on behavioral intentions of rural customers in Pakistan. Moreover, we find that personality openness significantly shapes behavioral intentions and trust on the internet moderates between customers’ intentions and their usage of e-banking. The study broadens the understanding of e-banking in rural areas which might help future researchers and regulators to know and enhance their policy formulation.
电子银行(e-banking)这一快速发展的现象令世界感到惊讶,尽管它在全球范围内扩散,但它的接受程度并不太令人鼓舞,特别是在发展中国家的农村地区。本研究围绕巴基斯坦农村地区接受电子银行这一关键问题展开,采用了Venkatesh、Morris、Davis和Davis(2003)提出的统一接受和技术使用理论(UTAUT)的综合框架,称为统一模型。本文通过人格开放性对统一模型进行扩展,研究行为意图与使用行为之间信任的调节作用。使用基于调查的问卷,从巴基斯坦农村地区的客户收集数据。作者从农村背景的大学€™学生中获得了434份有效回复,并通过Smart-PLS结构方程建模进行了分析。结果表明,绩效期望、社会影响和努力期望对巴基斯坦农村顾客的行为意向有显著的正向影响。此外,我们发现人格开放性显著地影响了行为意图,并且互联网信任在客户€™意图与其使用电子银行之间具有调节作用。该研究拓宽了对农村地区电子银行的认识,有助于未来的研究人员和监管机构了解并加强其政策制定。

Exploring and Conceptualizing Workplace Spirituality in Islamic Banks 伊斯兰银行工作场所灵性的探索与概念化
Pub Date : 2019-06-10 DOI: 10.22547/ber/11.2.7
M. Rashid, Humera Manzoor, U. Ghani
This study investigates workplace spirituality in Islamic banks in Pakistan. Through qualitative approach, this study seeks to understand the meaning employees give to workplace spirituality in Islamic banks and explores the way workplace spirituality is constituted and enacted at workplace. It takes an epistemological stance of social constructionism and argues that the way people define workplace spirituality is subjective in nature. Data has been collected from 22 respondents working in Islamic banks and has been analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings reveal that all respondents defined workplace spirituality in terms of religion. They found inner peace and happiness by serving humanity and religion and had deeper concerns for earning ‘halal’ or ‘haram’. Also, the confusion created due to conflicting fatwas on Islamic banks influenced job satisfaction which is seen as a component of workplace spirituality in literature. This study theoretically contributes that workplace spirituality is highly contextual in nature and religiosity and spirituality cannot be treated as separate in organizations that are based upon religious foundations.
本研究调查了巴基斯坦伊斯兰银行的工作场所灵性。通过定性研究,本研究试图理解伊斯兰银行员工对工作场所灵性的意义,并探讨工作场所灵性在工作场所的构成和实施方式。它采取社会建构主义的认识论立场,认为人们对工作场所精神的定义本质上是主观的。数据是从在伊斯兰银行工作的22名受访者中收集的,并通过专题分析进行了分析。调查结果显示,所有受访者都用宗教来定义工作场所的灵性。他们通过服务人类和宗教找到内心的平静和幸福,并对获得“halal”或“haram”有更深的关注。此外,由于伊斯兰银行的相互冲突的教令而产生的混乱影响了工作满意度,这在文学中被视为工作场所灵性的一个组成部分。从理论上讲,这项研究表明,工作场所的灵性本质上是高度情境化的,在基于宗教基础的组织中,宗教信仰和灵性不能被视为分开的。

Debt and Economic Growth of Pakistan; Role of Uncertain Economic and Political Conditions 巴基斯坦的债务与经济增长不确定的经济和政治条件的作用
Pub Date : 2019-06-10 DOI: 10.22547/ber/11.2.5
M. Sikandar, Fazal e Wahid
This study is an attempt to investigate the role of political instability and economic uncertainty on debt and economic growth for the data span of 1975 to 2016 in Pakistan. We extract economic uncertainty by using Generalized Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroskedastic (GARCH) model. We explore the relationship between debt and economic growth simultaneously with Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach. The deep-rooted relation of political and economic uncertainty with debt and growth recommends immediate fiscal and public policy adjustments to minimize the harms of higher debt-GDP ratio and slow economic growth. This study results in the changing fiscal behavior with political shifts and confirms “the positive theory of debt†, by Alesinaand Tabellini (1989 and 1990), recommending stable political environment with consistent economic policies for Pakistan.
本研究试图探讨政治不稳定和经济不确定性对巴基斯坦1975年至2016年的债务和经济增长的作用。本文利用广义自回归条件异方差(GARCH)模型提取经济不确定性。本文利用广义矩量法(GMM)同时探讨了债务与经济增长之间的关系。政治和经济不确定性与债务和增长之间根深蒂固的关系建议立即调整财政和公共政策,以尽量减少债务- gdp比率上升和经济增长放缓的危害。本研究结果表明,财政行为随着政治的转变而变化,并证实了Alesinaand Tabellini(1989和1990)提出的关于债务€œthe积极理论,该理论为巴基斯坦提供了稳定的政治环境和一致的经济政策。

The Role of Stability and Ownership Structure in Determining the Efficiency of US Bank Holding Companies 稳定性和股权结构在决定美国银行控股公司效率中的作用
Pub Date : 2019-06-10 DOI: 10.22547/ber/11.2.2

During the last three decades,the focus of regulatorshas been to enhance the stability of the financial system.However, there is little research as to how the desire for higher financial stability for bank holding companies would affect their efficiency. Byusing a dataset of 553 US Bank Holding Companies (BHC)for the period 2004 to 2015 and a dynamic panel methodology,this study investigates whether the efficiency of BHC was affected by the requirement for higher stability and ownership structure during the sample period. The empirical findings suggest that BHC with higher stability (lower risk levels) are relatively more efficient. Regarding the ownership structure, we find evidence that BHC with a higher proportion of institutional ownership, especially those that exerting market discipline such as mutual funds and hedge funds,positively affects the efficiency of BHC. On the other hand,a higher level of government ownership adversely impacts the efficiency of BHC.Overall empirical findings support the regulatory view that higher stability levels and close monitoring by shareholders help in improving efficiency. The results remain robust with alternative measures of efficiency. Thesefindings have implications for regulators and investorsalike asthere is a need to carefully evaluate regulatory policies such that they may not adversely affect efficiency while keeping the banking sector healthy and stable.
在过去的三十年里,监管机构的重点一直是加强金融体系的稳定性。然而,关于银行控股公司对更高财务稳定性的渴望如何影响其效率的研究很少。本研究利用2004年至2015年期间553家美国银行控股公司(BHC)的数据集和动态面板方法,调查了在样本期间对更高稳定性和所有权结构的要求是否会影响BHC的效率。实证结果表明,稳定性越高(风险水平越低)的BHC相对效率越高。在股权结构方面,我们发现机构持股比例较高的BHC,特别是共同基金和对冲基金等发挥市场纪律的BHC,对BHC的效率有正向影响。另一方面,较高的政府所有权水平会对BHC的效率产生不利影响。总体实证结果支持监管观点,即更高的稳定性水平和股东的密切监督有助于提高效率。用其他方法衡量效率的结果仍然是稳健的。这些发现对监管机构和投资者都有意义,因为有必要仔细评估监管政策,以便在保持银行业健康和稳定的同时,不会对效率产生不利影响。

Political skill has gained a lot of recognition in terms of managing the interactions within the political arenas of organization. The present study investigated the role of political skill in generating positive behaviors in the presence of mediating mechanism of organizational based self-esteem on the 219 managers serving in banks of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Results demonstrated a partially mediated impact of organizational based self-esteem among the political skill and positive behaviors relationship. The study is the first to address the unexplored areas of research identified by Munyoun, Summers, Thompson, & Ferris (2015) regarding political skill impact on positive behaviors. Political skill helps the managers to manage the negativities at workplace by engaging in positive behaviors. Political skill training will help the individuals to groom their personality and work in an optimistic way for the betterment of organization and society at large.
政治技巧在管理组织政治领域内的互动方面得到了很多认可。本研究以巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡和拉瓦尔品第的219名银行管理人员为研究对象,在组织自尊的中介机制存在的情况下,探讨了政治技巧在产生积极行为中的作用。结果表明,组织型自尊在政治技巧与积极行为的关系中具有部分中介作用。这项研究是第一个解决Munyoun, Summers, Thompson, & Ferris(2015)关于政治技能对积极行为影响的未开发研究领域的研究。政治技巧可以帮助管理者通过积极的行为来管理工作场所的消极因素。政治技能培训将有助于个人培养他们的个性,并以乐观的方式为整个组织和社会的改善而工作。

The present study investigates the influence of job demands on intention to resign of front line employees (FLEs) of courier industry. Moreover, it also focuses on neglected area of perceived service recovery performance which is the fundamental aspect of success in services industry. The current study incorporates perceived service recovery performance as mediator between job demands and intention to resign under the light of social exchange theory. Past literature of services is deplete with studies on banking industry, food industry, and transport and tourism industry, however, the courier industry is neglected regarding front line employees. Thus, this study responds to call for research by drawing a random sampling of 700 front line employees and their direct supervisors of courier industry. The results reflected that higher job demands results in intention to resign and reduce service recovery performance. Researchers have also discussed the limitation and direction for future research.
本研究旨在探讨工作需求对快递行业一线员工离职意向的影响。此外,它还关注被忽视的感知服务恢复性能领域,这是服务业成功的基本方面。本研究在社会交换理论的指导下,将知觉服务恢复绩效作为工作需求与辞职意愿之间的中介。过去关于服务业的文献大多是针对银行业、餐饮业、交通旅游业的研究,而对于快递行业的一线员工的研究却被忽略了。因此,本研究响应研究的号召,随机抽取了700名快递行业的一线员工及其直接主管。结果表明,较高的工作要求导致辞职意向,降低服务恢复绩效。研究人员还讨论了未来研究的局限性和方向。
