Title: An investigation of consumer decision-making styles among consumers in North East India
Abstract:
There is a growing managerial interest in getting an insight into what affects the consumer and their corresponding decision-making styles. The study aims to assist marketers to develop innovative marketing strategies. Eight mental traits from the revised model of the consumer style inventory (CSI) developed by Sproles and Kendall (1986) were utilised to determine the decision-making style of the respondent. Responses from 390 respondents of 18 to 56 years of age were collected using random sampling techniques. Within the context, CSI generalisability was evaluated, and factors on decision-making traits accounted for 61.26% of the variance and range of eigenvalues between 1.49 to 4.42. Furthermore, a comparison was made with other studies to identify the differences and similarities of consumer decision-making styles across the population of four countries. For instance, the addition of new factors such as 'supply of goods', 'bandhs and blockade', 'infrastructure', 'organic product', etc. would help understand CDMS effectively. Being aware that Manipur is a landlocked state and that Chinese goods are widely available on the market, further research in view of local aspects can be developed in CDMS to analyse consumer perception and marketing strategies.

Title: Workplace ergonomics and its influence on job performance with mediating role of job satisfaction: an Indian perspective
Abstract:
The current study attempted to inspect the influence of workplace ergonomics (WE) and job satisfaction (JS) on job performance (JP). Besides, the study considered job satisfaction as a mediator to elaborate on the influence of workplace ergonomics on job performance. Data were gathered from 364 academics working in Higher Education Institutions of Uttarakhand state, India by using a survey questionnaire. Subsequently, the data were analysed by using the structural equation modelling technique. The study findings showed that WE and JS positively influenced JP. In addition, the results revealed a significant positive relationship between WE and JP. The results supported the mediator task of JS between the influences of WE on JP. The study was theoretically grounded on The Balance theory. The study added to the literature by providing evidence on how WE can serve as a booster to influence JP of academics. Even in the presence of a mediating variable (JS), the direct effect was significant which means that the mediating effect is partial in nature. We discuss the theoretical contributions of this research and its practical implications for organisations.

Title: Gender moderating role in the relationship between leader humility and employee psychological empowerment
Abstract:
The gender difference in leadership and subordinates' empowerment has been a controversial topic studied in several countries. This study examines how gender moderates the relationship between the perceived leader humility and the subordinate psychological empowerment in a country that scores high in the power distance index. Four dyads were studied considering leader gender, male or female, and subordinate gender: M-M, F-M, M-F, F-F. Four hypotheses were tested with a questionnaire applied to 253 MBA students in Ecuador. Multi-group analysis was used with the bootstrapping technique. It was found that gender had a significant moderating effect in three of the studied relationships, being the M-M and F-M dyads the ones that presented the highest correlations. The results showed that male subordinates value humility attributes in their leaders, whether male or female, while the relationship was not significant for the F-F dyad.

Title: Participative management style and learning at work: mediating role of participative strategic planning processes and moderating role of supervisory communication
Abstract:
Fostering a learning environment at the workplace has developed as an indispensable growth facilitator. Drawing on the resource-based theory (RBT) and organisational learning theory (OLT), this research investigates the relationship between participative management style and learning at work with mediating role of participative strategic planning processes and moderating role of supervisory communication. A questionnaire-based survey method has been used to collect the data from 173 employees working in India's manufacturing and service sector organisations. This study employs structural equation modelling with R-studio and SPSS macro process (Model 14) to test moderated mediation effect. This study founds a positive relationship between participative management style and learning at work, and participative strategic planning processes significantly mediate the relationship. Moreover, supervisory communication plays a significant role as a moderator between participative strategic planning processes and learning at the workplace. The implication of this study, its limitation, and its future direction have been discussed.

Title: Team innovation: the role of team absorptive capacity and team decision-making
Abstract:
Drawing on the team-member exchange theory, we examine the perceived relationship between team absorptive capacity dimensions and team innovation in Indian organisations and the mediating role of team decision-making. It is a current research context mainly studied at the organisational/firm level that is highly relevant for corporate practice but has been neglected in management literature until now. The article developed and tested a moderated mediation model to examine the relationship between absorptive capacity dimensions, team decision-making, team member exchange, and team innovation using data from 65 teams and 263 team members working in diverse Indian organisations. Data were analysed using PROCESS Hayes's macro in SPSS. The findings reveal the impact of external knowledge transformation and exploitation capacity on team innovation only when there is effective team decision-making. However, in the case of acquisition and assimilation of external knowledge, it is not contingent on effective team decision-making.

Title: Revisiting consumer ethnocentrism using thematic cluster analysis
Abstract:
Globalisation and economic integration impacted the world economy like a tidal wave. The lesson of the pandemic and the post-COVID effect forced countries to rethink consumer ethnocentrism as local retailers/small vendors helped customers in the most difficult time. The pandemic transformed the global economy into a closed economy, and only those countries, which were self-reliant and sustainable countered the pandemic effectively. This study is conducted to perform a systematic, structured, and comprehensive review of consumer ethnocentrism using bibliometric analysis. The present study examines the relationship between the research constituents and proposes a research proposition to carry forward the study. The result of bibliometric analysis brought four clusters: ethnocentrism, country of origin, cosmopolitanism and CET Scale and ethnicity. This study is significant and distinct as we found insignificant studies, which used integrated methods SLR, bibliometric and content analysis to analyse the intellectual structure of the domain.

Title: Determinants of integrated reporting quality: a case study from India
Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of financial and other factors, including profitability, firm value, board size, firm size, and the influence of COVID, on the quality of integrated reporting (IR). The sample comprises 46 listed Indian corporates observed over a three-year period (2019-2021). A scoring system was devised to assess IR quality through content analysis of annual reports. Empirical estimation employed pooled ordinary least square, fixed effect, and random effect models. The findings revealed no significant relationship between profitability, firm value, and IR quality. However, board size, firm size, and the COVID dummy variable exhibited a positive impact on IR quality. Robustness checks provided further support to the panel regression estimates.

Title: Is blockchain worth it? Value drivers of stock market returns to corporate blockchain announcements
Abstract:
In the era of emerging technologies, many firms explore the role of blockchain technology and its business value impact. Research on firm value has shown that companies benefit from executing blockchain projects, but little is known about specific value drivers. Theoretically founded, we demonstrate under which conditions blockchain provides additional firm value. Utilising the event study methodology, we examine investors' reactions to companies announcing blockchain initiatives and apply the theoretical lens of signaling to explain factors that lead to positive stock market reactions. Based on an international sample of 606 blockchain announcements, our study shows that stock markets react more positively to blockchain projects if the project has been successfully finished, relates to the company's business processes, or is announced by firms based in the USA. Moreover, announcements during blockchain and cryptocurrency hypes lead to higher stock market returns.

Title: Providing support for employee autonomy, relatedness, and competence in a remote work environment
Abstract:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, organisations transitioned their operations to remote work. To better understand the effects of remote work, this paper reviews research on employee well-being before and during the pandemic and provides post-pandemic recommendations. Studies utilising the job demands-resources model and self-determination theory were examined as a framework for exploring remote employees' fulfilment of the psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competence. The focus is on remote work in a variety of industries to better understand its past, current, and future use. Practical implications are provided and include the specific actions that human resource professionals and managers can take to support and develop employee well-being in a remote work environment.

Title: A systematic literature review and bibliometric evaluation of the use of analytics in organisations
Abstract:
This systematic review and bibliometric analysis aim to utilise a rigorous approach to convey qualitative and quantitative knowledge on the constantly developing subject of analytics due to the dearth of comprehensive descriptions in the literature currently available. Seventy-two research records were found using a keyword search in the Scopus bibliometric databases. The report finds three research clusters in which academics are driven to advance analytics research using Biblioshiny's factorial analysis software. The need of top-level management support for the deployment of analytics within a company is emphasised in the first notion, which is related to data analytics. The importance of new strategies for the successful operation of supply chain management firms is highlighted in the second notion, which is related to supply chain management. Last but not least, research on learning analytics and small and medium-sized enterprises shows how analytics are being adopted more quickly.

Title: Does wellbeing impact the employee moonlighting and their intentions to quit the organisation? Analysing the mediating role of employee engagement
Abstract:
With the introduction of customised working styles, the human resource management area is changing rapidly. Due to exponential growth of hybrid, virtual and work from home culture, moonlighting, e-lancing and gig working have seen incredible growth in the IT industry. There is a wide range of reasons/motivators why people choose to moonlight, and these reasons ultimately determine whether their moonlighting is going to be permanent or temporary. In this present study, our aim is to examine the contributors/motivators of moonlighting which further lead to employee intention to leave. Based on responses from 430 IT professionals we evaluated five hypotheses to estimate the relationships between the latent dimensions of employees' we being, employee engagement, moonlighting intentions and intention to quit among IT professionals at a subset of Indian businesses. The results reveal that employee wellbeing significantly influences moonlighting intentions negatively. Also moonlighting intentions influence employees' intention to quit positively as per the study. The study also revealed that employee engagement partially mediates the relationship between employee wellbeing and their moonlighting intentions. This posits that employees' wellbeing is crucial for increasing productivity, job satisfaction, engagement level which in turn reduces alternative job search.

Title: Harmonising sustainability through green human capital management: an Indian perspective
Abstract:
The object of this research is to scrutinise the mantle of 'green human resource management' (GHRM) on the HEI's 'environmental performance' (EP). Besides, this study also centres on the mediating influence of 'corporate social responsibility' (CSR) on the above relationship. The study used a quantitative design following convenience sampling technique by gathering information through a structured questionnaire from 396 employees of the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, who are employed in the Garhwal Province of Uttarakhand State, India. The data were collected from June 2023 until November 2023. The present investigation outcomes give empirical discernments that show how GHRM lead to EP at a significant level in the pharmaceutical background. Further, fallouts also demonstrate that CSR mediates the liaison amid GHRM and EP. The direct sway amid GHRM and EP was shown to be substantial even when a mediating variable (CSR) was present. This paper explores how CSR bridges the gap between GHRM and EP in pharmaceutical industry. The inference of the existing research was proficient in corroborating the positive disquiets of GHRM and CSR for EP.

Title: Impact of transformational leadership on quality of work life: the mediating effect of organisational justice
Abstract:
Working life is an important part of people's overall lives. Research on service employees' working life is essential due to the nature of the job. This study aimed to investigate the impact of transformational leadership (TL) on the quality of work life (QWL) and test the mediation effect of organisational justice (OJ), based on the social exchange theory. Three hundred and twenty-three full-time operational employees of Bangladeshi hotels participated in a questionnaire survey. Employing a PLS-SEM approach, a measurement model tested the data, and a structural model tested the research hypotheses. Results found a strong impact of TL on the operators' QWL, and a significant mediating effect of OJ in the aforementioned relationship. The implications of hotels' transformational leadership and organisational justice for operators' working life are tremendous that contributed to QWL, TL, and OJ literature. Although the results may not be generalised, they offer some fascinating insights that point to potential directions for future research.

Title: Demographic diversity in companies' boards and the relationship to companies' financial performance: a systematic literature review
Abstract:
Demographic diversity in top management boards and its relationship to companies' financial performance is a well-documented research area, however, with diverse empirical results. In our systematic literature review, we focus on empirical work examining this relationship. We analyse the distribution of various demographic diversity dimensions and corresponding variables in literature, various applied heterogeneity measures, considered relationship outcomes, and the identified cross-citations between papers. We consider research from 1990 to 2022 for our sample of 152 publications. Our contribution uniquely combines a broader theoretical overview with an analysis of differences in existing literature between various demographic diversity dimensions tested, diversity and financial performance measurement types utilised, and ultimate empirical relationship outcomes. Our analysis concludes that there are more positive than negative relationship findings regarding the relationship of top management diversity and financial performance, irrespective of the variables utilised in empirical research designs, but with significant variability in relevance between diversity dimensions.

Title: Information security disclosures in healthcare: the impact of the 2018 SEC Guidance
Abstract:
This study aims to analyse the impact of the SEC guidance from 2018 on information security risk disclosures in the healthcare sector and determine factors that influence disclosure practices. We show a big shift in disclosure practices following the SEC guidance. While the overall level of similarity across the entire sample remains stable, there is a clear industry specific convergence of information security risk disclosures. Additionally, results reveal that analysts play a key role in shaping disclosure behaviour. A higher number of analysts covering a given firm cause it to provide more detailed and extensive information security risks disclosures. At the same time, this increased level of disclosures does not go hand in hand with a high level of similarity which indicates that these disclosures are company specific and likely of higher informational value.

Title: Nurturing affective commitment among nurses through perceived organisational support: a moderated-mediation model
Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the role of perceived organisational support (POS) on affective commitment among nursing employees in the private healthcare sector in Bangladesh. The study also examined the mediation of work engagement between POS and affective commitment and the moderation of perceived family support in the relationship between POS and engagement. The study with a survey instrument collected data from 228 nurses employed private hospitals located in Dhaka and Chittagong. This research utilised PLS-SEM approach to analyse data and test proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that POS directly influenced work engagement and affective commitment, and indirectly via work engagement influenced affective commitment significantly. The results also demonstrated that the positive role of POS on work engagement would be greater when there is a high level of family support than a low level of family support. By integrating the organisational support theory and job-demand resource theory, this study contributes to the existing literature of POS and affective commitment in a developing perspective. The findings help professionals and policy makers to have the mechanism to understand how POS and family support foster work engagement and affective commitment of nursing employees.

Title: Boosting engagement: the motivational drivers of female millennials in Kolkata's IT hub
Abstract:
This study explores the factors driving motivation among female millennial employees in IT organisations in Kolkata, India, and examines the link between motivation and employee engagement (EE) through the lens of self-determination theory. Using a mixed-method approach, primary data from 532 female employees in five major IT firms were analysed. Results highlight that non-monetary factors, including psychological safety, working environment, change leadership, job design, and well-being, significantly boost employee motivation. Notably, psychological safety and well-being emerge as the most influential, strongly enhancing employee engagement. This research contributes to the existing literature by offering both theoretical insights and practical strategies to motivate and engage female millennials, thereby addressing the high attrition rates in the IT sector.

Title: A mixed method approach to investigating how the local government negotiates its policy with the central government in developing countries: the case of Jordan
Abstract:
This research is concerned with bargaining power at the local administration level, with specific attention to the situation in Jordan. In response, this research paper tries to answer the question of how much bargaining power do governments exercise in Jordan and the factors that determine bargaining power in central-local government relations in Jordan. Concerning research methodology, this study uses a mixed-method approach (MMR), drawing on the experiences of questionnaires and interviews. The findings showed that, while negotiating with the central government, the local administration prefers a cooperative bargaining strategy, but the competitive bargaining method is the most common technique used in the Jordanian setting. Local administrations typically negotiate over policies to a certain extent, depending on a variety of factors, including economics, experience in local administration, and financial and fiscal conditions. Findings from qualitative interviews in addition to the quantitative data revealed conflicting opinions about how the local elites in the four governorates perceived the central government's deployment of a competitive bargaining strategy and how to respond to it.

Title: Leadership in crisis periods: a bibliometric analysis and future research agenda
Abstract:
Business organisations are facing frequent crises in recent years; therefore, the managers have to adopt and apply different leadership styles to cope with the crises. There are few studies that provide a holistic overview of leadership in crisis periods. To fill this gap, a comprehensive analysis of 621 Scopus-indexed publications relating to leadership in crisis periods from 1992 to 2024 was conducted. Seven distinct themes emerged based on the keywords of the clusters that include digital leadership and performance during crisis, servant leadership during crisis, crisis leadership for resilience, transactional, transformational and virtual leadership, building trust in leadership through communication and ethics, ethical leadership and organisational outcomes and political leadership and crisis communication for resilience. The study contributes to the existing knowledge by providing an up-to-date overview of leadership in crisis research and showing potential areas for future research.

Title: Empowering future entrepreneurs: the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention of BBS final year students in Sunsari, Nepal
Abstract:
This study investigated the role of entrepreneurship education in shaping students' entrepreneurial intentions, including knowledge, understanding, skill, and confidence as moderation and family support as a moderator. The research uses primary data from 311 students by using systematic random sampling. The relationship between entrepreneurship education and students' entrepreneurial intention is measured using the partial least square model (PLS-SEM) technique. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial education (β = -0.014, p < 0.05) is insignificant with entrepreneurial intention, but it is significant through motivation (β = 0.124, p < 0.05). Moreover, the study found that entrepreneurship education positively affects the confidence (β = 0.417, p < 0.05) to start a business, motivation (β = 0.620, p < 0.05), required skill (β = 0.415, p < 0.05) for business and, understanding (β = 0.514, p < 0.05). This study concluded that entrepreneurship education is insufficient to foster youth entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurship courses should focus on enhancing motivation towards entrepreneurship alongside knowledge and skill development.

Title: Consumer intentions and digital financial literacy: a new perspective on fintech payment product adoption
Abstract:
This evaluation intends to explore determinants of consumer intentions by integrating technology acceptance model (TAM) (Davis, 1989) and digital financial literacy (DFL) into a holistic framework. The convenience sample method was used to conduct the survey, 499 responses to the questionnaire were received, and the structural equation model (SEM) has been put into use to interpret data. The examination exhibited that determinants of TAM have a substantial domination on consumers' inclinations to adopt fintech payment products (FPPs) for digital financial inclusion (DFI). The outcomes of this research will serve fintech industry players and policymakers in designing FPPs that should place a high priority on DFL employing all-encompassing promotional techniques and deepen the understanding of Indian consumers' intentions. To the extent of the authors' knowledge, this is the fundamental research to integrate DFL and TAM with its determinants to forecast the intentions of Indian consumers.

Title: How green marketing tools affect customers' purchase behaviour? An exploration from the Indian market
Abstract:
Environmental issues have been extensively debated throughout history. Natural resources are being depleted at an alarming rate for the unethical advantage of economic prosperity, necessitating the development of alternative measures. The preservation of the earth for future generations has become a crucial aspect of sustainable development. This study aims to examine the efficacy of environmentally conscious marketing strategies in shaping customer behaviour towards sustainable products. Based on analysis of 310 responses collected via a survey method, it was discovered that proposed green marketing tools have an influence on customer buying decision. Understanding the complicated customer behaviour is one of this research's useful implications for social and green marketers, which would ultimately assist in creating more valuable green marketing campaigns in India. The study's three-dimensional strategic framework consisting of green marketing tools would enable marketing professionals to effectively traverse the changing terrain of customer preferences and societal norms while promoting sustainable goals.

Title: Family social support and work satisfaction among Bangladeshi female bankers: a mediation analysis of work-family conflict
Abstract:
Grounded on the conservation of resource (COR) theory and W-HR model, this study examined the mediating effects of work interference with family (WIF) and family interference with work (FIW) on the association between family support and satisfaction with work. The sample comprised of 324 working women employed in the private commercial banks in Bangladesh. The findings revealed that both the WIF and FIW mediated the relationship between family support and work satisfaction of female bank employees. Consistent with other studies, results reported a direct influence of family support on women's job satisfaction. In addition, family support was found to have a significant negative effect on both the WIF and FIW, and WIF and FIW were also found to negatively influence job satisfaction of working women in Bangladeshi banks. The implications for theory and practice as well as limitations and directions for future studies were also discussed in the study.
