  • Financial development and income inequality: insights from a bibliometric analysis   Order a copy of this article
    by Tran Trung Dzung Phan, Hoang Minh Nguyen 
    Abstract: This study aims to review research on the relationship between financial development and income inequality, as well as future research directions. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of 178 studies on the nexus between financial development and income inequality using the Scopus database and R software. The findings reveal that three research clusters have been identified: i) Financial development and income inequality; ii) Income distribution, financial systems, and financial markets; and iii) Income distribution and economic growth. These research clusters enable us to extract future research questions, highlighting areas where further investigation is needed. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on the relationship between financial development and income inequality, helping researchers and policymakers understand the current state of research in this field.
    Keywords: financial development; income inequality; bibliometric analysis; income distribution; financial systems; financial markets; economic growth.

  • Determinant of saving behaviour among employees enrolled under different pension schemes   Order a copy of this article
    by Aarti Devi, Khujan Singh, Pallavi Jaggi, Pooja Muwal 
    Abstract: This study aims to identify the determinants of the saving behaviour of employees covered under the national pension scheme (NPS) and old pension scheme (OPS). The data has been collected by using a questionnaire method through both offline and online methods from 663 government employees (NPS = 379, OPS = 284) working in Haryana, India. The data has been analysed by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that factors like financial self-efficacy (FSE) and tax benefit significantly influence the saving behaviour of employees covered under both pension schemes. However, the factors like financial awareness, financial risk tolerance, future time perspective, and social advice play a significant role in determining the saving behaviour of employees covered under the NPS scheme but play an insignificant role for employees covered under the OPS scheme.
    Keywords: new pension scheme; OPS; old pension scheme; saving; saving behaviour; NPS; national pension scheme; OPS; old pension scheme.

  • Service excellence measurement in public service agencies: a case of the Indonesian government   Order a copy of this article
    by Arie Pratama, Citra Sukmadilaga, Evita Puspitasari, Ivan Yudianto, Ririn Kadariyah, Deddy Wahyu Witono, Erlane K. Ghani, Rifqie Jauhari 
    Abstract: Public service agencies (PSAs) are central to public sector reforms that aim to improve service delivery, governance and public trust. This study measures service quality in Indonesian central government PSAs and identifies key factors in service excellence across education, health and other PSA types. Data were collected through online questionnaires adapted to the business processes and services of each PSA type and analysed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, cluster analysis, correlation and regression. The results show that PSA service quality is generally good and relatively even across regions, although differences remain across supervising ministries. The findings also show that external service quality is shaped by internal service quality. Overall, Indonesian PSAs provide good-quality services, but disparities across ministries indicate that further business process reforms are needed to improve and equalise service quality.
    Keywords: PSA; public service agency; service quality; service excellence; Indonesia; public sector; performance measurement.
