Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Empowering corporate boards: the impact of diversity on agency costs in Nigeria’s manufacturing sector   Order a copy of this article
    by Wisdom Okere, Wasiu Sanyaolu , Nonso John Okoye 
    Abstract: The research study investigated the impact of board diversity on agency costs in listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study utilised panel regression methodology and revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between BGD and agency cost. This study shows that there is a positive and insignificant relationship between board diversity, board age diversity and agency cost of the oil and gas firms. It also shows a negative and significant relationship between FCF and BED because the coefficient of BED is -0.035516 and the p-value is 0.0121. The study finds that board diversity based on ethnicity and foreign expatriates has no significant impact on executive salaries. However, gender diversity positively influences executive compensation. Additionally, CEO attributes, such as financial expertise and proper compensation, reduce earnings manipulation and improve financial reporting quality. This study suggests that Considering implementing diversity quotas or policies to promote diversity a

  • Exploring passenger perceptions of biometric security in air travel   Order a copy of this article
    by Ali Mohammed Kassir 
    Abstract: The surge in global air traffic is pressuring airports to deliver faster passenger processing without compromising security. Biometric self-service technologies (SSTs) - such as facial-recognition e-gates - promise shorter queues and more reliable identity checks, yet public acceptance hinges on privacy and risk perceptions. This study investigates how data-privacy concerns, perceived risk, perceived control, and prior knowledge shape travellers intentions to use biometric SSTs. A survey of 386 international passengers analysed with structural-equation modelling and moderated by flying frequency, shows that perceived control is the strongest positive predictor of usage intention. In contrast, privacy concerns and perceived risk exert significant adverse effects. Frequent flyers moderate only the risk-intention path, suggesting habituation does not uniformly dampen concerns. The findings refine TAM/UTAUT theory for biometric contexts and offer practical guidance for airports: emphasise user control, communicate data-protection safeguards, and tailor messaging to experience levels.
