This is particularly pertinent to post-pandemic remote workers that have encountered escalated stressors stemming from technological usage. The escalated dependence on information and communication technologies has amplified the blurring of boundary between work domain and family domain, consequently resulting in work exhaustion. Drawing on job-demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, this study seeks to investigate the impact of technostress on work exhaustion and delineate the mediating influence of work-family conflict in this relationship. The investigation analysed a sample comprising 315 remote workers working in the Indian IT industry using PLS-SEM. The findings revealed that technostress leads to work exhaustion in remote workers and work-family conflict mediated this relationship. The study highlights implications for theory and practical interventions that can help manage technostress, work-family conflict, and work exhaustion among remote workers. Journal: Int.

It adopts Cameron and Quinn's (1999) Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) and Douglas Kimemia's (2013) informal organisational norms questionnaire. Questionnaires were distributed and collected from 826 Saudi employees of which 694 were valid. Descriptive statistics, correlation matrix and regression were used in analysing the data. Our findings reveal that across demographic factors and industries, employees perceive that informal organisational norms do not impact and are not impacted by their organisational culture. In addition, employees with PhD degrees predominantly seek work elsewhere when examining their organisational culture. Ultimately, our data also revealed that every one of the six cultural dimensions influenced one another, consequently creating a loop of interdependency that manifests itself into the structure and culture of the organisation.

This study proposes a supplier selection framework, FAHP-TOPSIS, to overcome the challenges associated with imprecise information in the decision-making process. A list of criteria is initially identified through an extensive literature review and expert interviews. Subsequently, the FAHP technique is employed to determine the weights assigned to each criterion. Following this, the TOPSIS method is applied to rank and select the most suitable alternatives from the pool of potential suppliers. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed supplier selection framework, a practical case study is conducted within the context of electrical explosion protection and sensor companies in Vietnam. A sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the robustness of the criterion weights and ranking of suppliers. The findings consistently demonstrate that product cost and quality consistently rank as the top-priority factors in supplier selection. Journal: Int.

One such measurement is voter satisfaction. Therefore, the aim of this study is to uncover elements that sensitise voters to the political system and encourage their engagement in the electoral process. The purpose of the study is also to determine the effect of these variables on voter satisfaction. Using political sensitivity scale and voter satisfaction model, authors have made a comparative analysis of urban and rural voters. The sample of 1400 has been collected from parliamentary constituencies of urban voters and rural voters, and SEM in AMOS has been applied. Most of the findings are similar for urban voters and rural voters except for religious and caste considerations, which is significant only in the case of rural voters. The study provides valuable insights to the politicians in framing their strategies. Journal: Int.

In the globalising world, countries that renew their product and service range are at the forefront. The way to manage innovation is to measure it. Therefore, to have measurable information, the Global Innovation Index (GII) identifies inputs and outputs that are indicators of innovation. The GII provides a global ranking for countries according to their innovation capacity. In this study, GII scores of 125 countries between the years 2013 and 2020 were estimated using the artificial neural network (ANN). Before the estimation, feature selection was performed from 61 common indicator parameters. 27 parameters that best explain the GII score were selected and used in the ANN. According to the estimated GII scores, the selected 27 parameters are sufficient to calculate the GII score and has been observed that the ANN model is sufficient to determine the approximate GII score of the countries.

A case in Kurdistan region of Iraq Abstract: Current paper aims to elaborate on the impacts of structural and psychological empowerment on the service quality perceptions of the customers of SMEs. In this respect, empirical findings methodology was applied to achieve the aim of the study. Data was collected from the SMEs in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Additionally, the data was collected from multi-sources; empowerment questions were asked to the employees and service quality questions were asked to the customers. The results evaluated proposing structural equations modelling. Given in the findings, psychological empowerment negatively and significantly affected the service quality perceptions of the customers while structural empowerment influenced positively. Hence, it was revealed that empowerment doesn't absolutely boost the service quality perceptions. It was observed as moderation analysis that education level significantly moderated the impact of psychological empowerment on the service quality. Current study suggests some theoretical and managerial perspectives in the concerning aspects. Journal: Int.

The research adopts a quantitative approach and data collection was collected from 360 leaders from different sectors across Greece using questionnaires. Key findings reveal that each EI component distinctly influences team dynamics. Self-awareness, characterised by introspection and emotion recognition, emerged as a foundational element, affecting how leaders perceive and interact within their teams. The results show that Emotional Intelligence (EI) significantly predicts a team dynamics and performance. Teams under the direction of high EI members typically exhibit increased output, effectiveness, creativity, and worker satisfaction. The study contributes greatly to the understanding of EI in organisational leadership in general and Greek cultural dynamics in especially where interpersonal interactions and collectivism are valued.

Brain response to the stimuli was investigated based on brain wave amplitudes obtained from Electroencephalography (EEG). Data were collected in six main stages, namely, subject selection, health examination by a physician, filling out a written consent, filling out a questionnaire, examination of brain wave amplitudes using EEG while watching sports advertising teasers. Results showed that the brain wave amplitudes had significant effects on the customer-perceived value of several sports brands, i.e., Adidas, Nike, Puma and Reebok. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression model based on the predictive variables, i.e., brain wave amplitudes, is presented to predict the customer-perceived value. The findings of this study can help brand owners evaluate the effectiveness of video advertising by increasing the willingness of customers to purchase their products. Journal: Int.

This research paper is developed with a notion of understanding the relationship between heuristics, irrational decisions of investors and the mediating role of fundamental anomalies. Majority of the studies, in the area of behavioural finance examine the direct relationship between heuristics, investment decisions and performance but this study is first of its kind which explores the relationship with the mediating effects of fundamental anomalies. Data are collected from investors from Chennai by adopting a multi-stage sampling method using a structured questionnaire. The results indicate that all the heuristics dealt in this study have a significant and positive relationship with irrational decision making and fundamental anomalies partially mediate the relationship between all the heuristics and irrational decision making.

A number of different ways have been created and suggested to support the organisations to select the right talent for specific roles. As a result, this paper attempted to propose the effective decision-making in the personnel selection problem by considering it a multi-criteria decision-making problem. Thus, an integrated MCDM approach, namely fuzzy-ETDBA, is proposed to solve the personnel selection problem. The proposed study determines the weights of the evaluation indicators using fuzzy set theory and uses the ETDBA approach for ranking to get the best talent in the organisation. Journal: Int.

A random proportion of the lot would generally have lost some freshness before being received in stock, while the remaining items would still be fresh. This calls for some discount initially for the former, and later, when the latter product is not so fresh. For demand declining with increase in selling price and decrease in freshness, this paper deals with optimal ordering and discounting policy when the lot received is of mixed quality and the market has two segments differentiated by the initial product quality sold simultaneously at widely different prices. Sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of optimal cycle length and the optimal discount are obtained. Sensitivity analysis reveals that increase in freshness time and proportion of initially fresh items in the lot result in increased profit rate. Journal: Int.

Indeed, the theme and the problem addressed offer us aspects hitherto unexplored. In response to this challenge, we conducted a case study. Based on a qualitative approach, individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with executives belonging to the Tunisian telecommunications operator-Tunisie Telecom (<em>n</em> = 21). This study enabled us to gain an in-depth understanding of the extent to which the application of HR marketing within the company can develop innovative behaviour at work. The results, as well as managerial and theoretical implications, of this research are discussed in detail. On a theoretical level, our research shows the role of social identity theory in explaining the link between HR marketing and IWB, which is still an unexplored area in academic research. On a managerial level, our contribution lies in raising managers' awareness of the importance of this marketing approach in the development of innovative behaviour among executives. Journal: Int.

There is an increasing demand for maintaining the compliance process with accuracy, quality and timeliness. The responsibility is majorly done by governmental authorities manually in many countries worldwide, having human errors, as well as wasting time and efforts. This paper presents an automated compliance checking model for residential buildings using building information modelling (BIM). The proposed model is carried out through interpretation of the building rules, rules-set creation, and the process of classifying architectural elements. Eventually, a compliance report is issued, whether pass or fail, in addition to identifying the non-compliance elements. A case study based on the Egyptian Construction Legislation was presented, 110 face-to-face interviews were conducted with experts to validate the model applicability. Results showed the model has positive impact and fade away the disadvantages of manual checking. Journal: Int.

The inventory model for a deteriorating item is developed with the following characteristics: (1) delay in payments is permitted; (2) demand is deterministic, time-dependent and quadratic function of time; (3) deteriorating items follow a time-proportional deterioration rate; (4) the grace period is known and fixed and (5) shortages are permitted to occur and are completely backlogged. For settling the account, the formulation of the model is derived under two main circumstances: Case 1 - the grace period is less than the shortages period and Case 2 - the grace period is greater than the shortages period of the system. A couple of numerical examples and sensitivity analysis of the optimal cost with respect to different parameters of the model has been carried out. Journal: Int.

However, academic inquiry into e-advertising's holistic impact across all marketing mix elements is limited. Most studies focus exclusively on isolated aspects of e-advertising, resulting in a significant literature gap regarding its integrated benefits. This research addresses this void by investigating the relationship between e-advertising innovation/cost-effectiveness and the four P's of marketing - product, pricing, place and promotion. The study employs a quantitative, cross-sectional survey methodology to collect data from 605 online and mobile consumers in India. Structural equation modelling analysis reveals that e-advertising innovation and cost-effectiveness have significant positive associations with the product, pricing and promotion components of the marketing mix. However, the relationship with place is non-significant. These results provide empirical evidence that e-advertising can enhance cost efficiencies associated with developing products, optimising pricing approaches and implementing promotional campaigns. However, e-advertising may not substitute for traditional distribution and location considerations. The findings make key theoretical contributions by responding to calls for holistic e-advertising assessment across the marketing mix. The results offer vital data for practice to inform resource allocation and strategic integration of e-advertising across marketing functions. Journal: Int.

The aim is to identify the best distribution channel alternative for OEMs based on various selection factors. The authors utilised the Analytic Network Process-based Dempster-Shafer's model as the main methodology for selecting the most suitable distribution channel for OEMs in remanufacturing. The approach involves analysing and evaluating eight distribution channel alternatives and considering multiple channel selection factors. The research findings demonstrated the effectiveness of the selected approach in identifying the optimal distribution channel for OEMs in the remanufacturing industry. The results also highlighted the robustness of the experimental findings. The utilisation of the Analytic Network Process-based Dempster-Shafer's model adds originality to the research. The identified optimal distribution channel may help OEMs effectively meet customers' demands and enhance their overall remanufacturing operations. Journal: Int.
