Globally rapid progress of the organizations can be enumerated with their adaptability to change. Therefore, change must be coherent with leadership styles and be well coordinated with employees’ willingness. It is comprehensible that organizations which did not familiarize and accept change could not survive and are no more in this business world. The target population of this study was permanent faculty members of the private universities in Sindh Province of Pakistan. Total 349 questionnaires were distributed to respondents of the Sindh province of Pakistan. Henceforth total 89 usable questionnaires were received from respondents. Data collected from permanent faculty members through questionnaires survey. To analyze the data, Partial Least Squares (PLS) path modeling was used by using Smart-PLS 2.0. The outcomes of this research work revealed a significant relationship between the transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles, furthermore transactional and transformational leadership styles mediate the relationship between employees’ commitment to change and employee’s creativity.

The banking activity represents a strategic sector of sustainable economic development in Tunisia. Hence, Tunisian banks have the status of financial institutions that earn profits by providing financial services to customers by dealing with risks. Therefore, lending decisions for these establishments are strategic as they can avoid the risk of loan recourse. However, the assessment of borrowing sanctions in Tunisian banks is based on credit rating models. Consequently, it is important to assess the riskiness of the banking sector in Tunisia. Indeed, Tunisian banks have kept voluminous data concerning their clienteles which can be considered as critical knowledge assets which can be processed via underwritten credit management tools. This tools denote a recent development of statistical techniques and promising tools of data mining and data processing. The current study attempts to develop the rating model as a decision support system to credit approval evaluation at Tunisian banks based on applicant’s characteristics; the proposed model is mainly based on quantitative and qualitative criteria can be used to help credit officers make better decisions when evaluating future loan applications. A real-world credit application of cases of both granted and rejected applications from BTE bank was employed to develop the rating model. The experimental outcomes showed that this approach area promising addition to the existing classification methods. It therefore requires a high responsibility and commitment of managers in the process of evaluation and decision-making to reduce both the risk of default and the risk of debt distress.

For environmental innovation, people’s knowledge is necessary to protect the environment. However, just knowing the importance of environmental protection does not lead to effective actions for environmental innovation (Kong & Lee, 2016). For knowledge to become action, it is important for people to be emotionally motivated. To study the emotional factor for environmental innovation, this study analyzes the literature on how emotions influence people’s purchase actions and proposes the idea of using arts to influence consumer's emotion and induce pro-environmental consumption (Kong & Lee, 2016). This research first reviews literature on the role of emotion for pro-environmental consumption. Then it explores if arts can induce consumer’s emotion to make decisions to buy green products or to participate in environmental protection. To seek empirical evidence, this research measures the willingness of a group of consumers to participate in a tree planting program before and after the participants are exposed to a piece of artwork. The preliminary findings of this study are valuable for understanding how to increase the adoption of certain innovative products or services of social value (Kong & Lee, 2016).

The Research aims on Human Resource Management and innovation has to date relied on a theoretical assumption that there exists an identifiable set of HR practices which organizations seeking to be innovative should adopt. However, analysis of the various prescriptions of HR practices for innovation reveals a high level of internal inconsistency, leading to conflicting advice for practitioners. Furthermore, a review of empirical research on the topic indicates that HR practices within innovative organizations are remarkably similar to those found in the best practice literature This raises questions about the link between strategy and HRM, and about the theoretical foundations of research on HRM and innovation. Drawing on recent research on HRM and firm performance, I suggest that research on HRM and innovation can benefit from incorporating elements from both contingency theory and best practice approaches into the existing configuration theory approach. A change in direction for both theoretical and empirical research on HRM and innovation is proposed. This paper is laid out as follows. In part one, I ask what a strategy of innovation is, and consider what employee behaviors are believed to be consistent with such a strategy. The second section compares and contrasts different authors’ prescriptions of HR practices for innovation, and also compares the findings of research on HRM and innovation with the findings of the best practice approach. In the final part I consider the implications of MY review for future research on this topic. I propose a broadening of the theoretical base on which research on HRM and innovation is founded, and discuss the particular challenges involved in conducting empirical research on HR systems for innovation.

The study set out to address the effect of poor long term financial performance of athletes in Elgeyo Marakwet County. The purpose of the study was to assess effect of investment skills on long term financial performance of Kenyan athletes of Elgeyo Marakwet County, Kenya. The objective was to establish levels of influence of investment skills on long term financial performance of athletes. The study was carried out in Elgeyo Marakwet County which is one of the 47 Counties of Kenya. In regard to establishing levels of influence of investment skills on long term financial performance of athletes in Elgeyo Marakwet County, the study established that 63% did not have savings accounts, thus revealing a poor saving culture against those who had savings accounts at 37% respectively. The study also revealed that majority of the respondents at 62% did not have retirement accounts against only 38% who had retirement accounts. The government, both County and National should ensure favorable policy based conditions and regulations to ensure athletes invest locally for posterity and sustainability. Furthermore, the government should encourage investment advisory extension services across the community.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a scale to measure employee satisfaction and test the nature of the relationship between job dissatisfaction and turnover; and to test if some sociodemographic variables can moderate this relation same as above. Data was collected from Tunisian Information and Communications Technology Sector (ICT). As quantitative methodology employs numerical data to quantify the social phenomenon, choosing the right techniques enable social scientists to analyse the findings of the study accurately using both structural equation analysis and hierarchical regression. The results indicated that the level of employee dissatisfaction influences their turnover intention. The results confirm that job dissatisfaction has an even greater impact on departure intentions as the level of satisfaction is low. A Likert scale is developped in this study, often found on survey forms, that measures how people feel about Quality of Working life.

Clothing choice has been a way for consumers to express their individuality and the possibility to boost their self-esteem. Despite the amount of prior research conducted regarding body satisfaction and individuals clothing choices, little is known about consumers’ body satisfaction and its impact on their clothing purchasing decisions. Thus, this study tries to shed light on the relationship between consumers’ body satisfaction and its impact on their purchasing intentions. The objective of this study is to identify whether consumers’ body satisfaction would influence their service satisfaction at retail stores when service failure of wrong size clothing recommendations has occurred. Additionally, in this study, gender differences in body satisfaction and purchasing intention is tested. The research identifies that body satisfaction to service satisfaction and service satisfaction to purchasing intention have a direct relationship with each other. Body satisfaction and purchasing intention do not have a direct relationship with each other. Notably, this study also finds that body satisfaction is higher in males but presented no gender difference in purchasing intention after the service failure.

This study examines the underlying components that determine the dividend policy statement of corporations in Nigeria. The study purposively select ninety-four (94) corporations out of the universe of companies listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Financial ratios were extracted and computed from published annual audited financial reports spanning 2007 to 2017. This was informed by the ex-post facto research design adopted to observe key indicators of these corporations in retrospect. The panel regression analysis was used to explain the numerical phenomenon collated. The Durbin-Wu-Hausman specification test found the fixed effect model to be more suitable. The empirical results indicate that financial leverage has a significant negative impact on dividend payout; liquidity has an insignificant positive impact on dividend payout policy; profitability has an insignificant positive impact on dividend payout decision; and company size has a significant positive impact on dividend payout dicision. The study concluses that liquidity, profitability and company size are the determinants of the dividend policy of corporations in Nigeria. More specifically, company size was found to be a major determinant to the dividend policy statement of corporations in Nigeria. The study suggests that, corporations should sustain their liquid positions, asset base and profit levels at all times to meet the universe of desires of their shareholders.

The study is motivated by the importance of corporate governance indicators in influencing bank risk taking and performance. It seeks to establish the relationship between shareholder power, board characteristics and executive director power as indicators of bank corporate governance and risk taking by banks in Zimbabwe. Using bank level data for the country over the period 2010 to 2017 and accounting for the effects of bank capital regulation, the study finds that more executive director power reduces bank risk taking; while strong boards raise risk taking. On the effect of shareholder power, the study finds that individual bank ownerships increase bank risk taking; with risk increasing as bank statutory capital requirements increase. The bank risk taking effect of government bank ownership is inconclusive; while an increase in statutory bank capital requirements reduces risk taking in banks that are owned by the private institutions. The study results suggest that the effects of changes in bank corporate governance and or banking sector regulations has different bank risk taking outcomes that depend on the interactions between the various governance indicators and the sector regulatory environment.

Organizational change involves moving an organization from its current state to a desired state – a discursive struggle that reframes the organization. A change in regulatory policy often affects more than one organization and may involve an entire industry comprised of thousands of diverse organizations. Stakeholder resistance is a leading cause of change failure. Similarly, industry stakeholders view regulatory change with a certain level of skepticism and naturally tend to resist – leading to policy gridlock. Through a discursive struggle, regulators may find opportunities to change the conversation and shift the stakeholder’s interpretative frames from one of policy disagreement to policy adoption. This paper discusses the methodology and initial findings of the first phase of a multi-phase discursive study that utilized action research to address a heavily debated regulatory change in the United States aviation industry, specifically, Safety Management Systems. The results of this study suggest that the use of action research to create a body of discourse in regulatory policy initiatives may help regulators shift the conversation towards policy adoption. By applying action research principles, regulators may better identify strategies that change the conversation, which may lead to a change in the groups behavior or perspective – creating discourse that may lead to innovative policy solutions.
