Authors: Francess Noleesha , Iddagoda Anuradha , Dissanayake D.H.S.W.
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to unearth and bridge a population gap, which is the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between dynamics of job satisfaction, i.e., work-life balance, leadership and employee retention. This is quantitative study with hypothesis testing through correlational investigation in a non-contrive setting. Conducted with minimum researchers’ interference, the time horizon of this study is cross-sectional with individual unit of analysis, i.e. managerial employees and non-managerial employees in XYZ diversified company using 77 samples selected based on simple random sampling. Data was gathered through a self-directed questionnaire. In order to bridge the identified population gap, a set of hypotheses was developed based on theoretical and empirical justifications. The findings suggest that there is a mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between work-life balance and retention. As employee retention is crucial for any organization’s success, organizations should give more emphasis on the constructs such as work-life balance and job satisfaction in order to enhance retention of employees.

Published: November 2022

This study assessed the effects of Waltermart Supermarket on small retail businesses in Candelaria, Quezon, Philippines. Using the adapted questionnaire from Cantuba (2015), retailers assessed the effects of Waltermart on their sales and revenue, product movement, and customer attraction and retention using the 5-scale Likert style. The adapted questionnaire from Lee (2008) was also used to assess the strategic response of the retailers to maintain sustainable operation using marketing practices, merchandising practices, customer service practices, and business operation practices using 5-scale Likert style. A total of sixty registered retailers were used as the sample. Findings revealed that retailers are moderately affected by the presence of Waltermart with ‘customer attraction and retention’ ranked the highest, and ‘sales and revenue’ as the lowest. In terms of strategic practices used by retailers to maintain sustainable operation in the presence of Waltermart, findings revealed that ‘business operation practices’ ranked the highest, and ‘merchandising practices’ as the lowest. For this, retailers need to continue an effective business operation and enhance the quality, competitiveness, and availability of the product through good inventory quality control management. As the study offers an assessment of the effects of Waltermart on retailers, the results suggest an in-depth analysis of the impact of supermarkets on the retailer’s performance through financial ratios.

Published: November 2022

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) material to the critical thinking skills of Grade 10 students in Mathematics. The study used experimental research design by measuring the improvement on the performance of the students after the implementation of the researcher-made PBL material. It also used survey strategy to assess the acceptance of the students on the quality of the developed PBL material and correlated the results with the critical thinking skills before and after the use of the material using paper and pen test. Results revealed that learning experiences relate to inferring, communicating, and problem-solving. There is also significant relationship between learning outcomes and communicating and problem solving. Both effectiveness and efficiency and user-friendliness significantly relate to communicating learning experience while congruence relates significantly to all critical thinking skills. Thus, learners’ use of the PBL material increases their critical thinking skills as evidenced by the t–test results showing significantly different critical thinking skills before and after the use of PBL material. With the improved level of students’ critical thinking skills, the PBL material may be used as a supplementary in the delivery of the lessons in any subject area.

Authors: Javier Mark James , Aliazas John Vincent
Published: November 2022

This study was grounded on the established Community of Inquiry (CoI) Framework to assess the behavior of students during the synchronous classes and its association with the Basic Science Process Skills (BSPS). The participants of the study were twenty-eight students from the seventh grade class of a public elementary school in the Philippines. The quantitative data were collected from the survey questionnaires while the pre-test and post-test were measured using a rating scale instrument facilitated via Google forms. Pearson-r was used to find the correlation among the variables while the T-test for the differences between variables. The results divided the CoI into three presences. The teaching presence, social presence, and cognitive presence with an acceptable mean, implies a good sense of community among the learners. Furthermore, few students’ basic science process skills were advanced and proficient, while most were still approaching proficiency and developing levels. The constructs of the CoI Framework were associated with the basic science process skills for classifying. Similarly, there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the respondents in classifying and measuring. The results suggest that continuous exposure of the students to CoI during synchronous classes improves their ability to self-study during asynchronous classes.

Tax Reforms and Financial Performance of the Indonesian Tax Authority between 2017 and 2021: Literature Review
Authors:   Brawijaya University, Malang-Indonesia, Pasaribu Goenawan T.
Published: November 2022

Governments settle their financial obligations and pay for the public expenditures largely through finances generated from taxes and so the issue of taxation is as old as taxes itself. Formulating of new laws that govern taxation, changes in tax administration as well as minimizing loop holes of tax evasion are some of the factors that lead to improvements in tax revenue collections in Indonesia. In developing countries especially in Asia, tax reforms revolves around matters to do with economic policies while focusing particularly on the design of taxation structure and the tax management. Despite the tax reforms and increasing need to increase revenue collection and enforcement so as to provide public services, Indonesia still faces the challenges of low tax collection and tax administration. The purpose of this study was thus to assess the impact of tax reforms on the financial performance of Indonesian Tax authority between 2017 and 2021. This study was informed by two theories; Optimal Tax Reform Theory and Open Systems Theory. The study was a literature based and the findings indicated that the implementation of the new tax systems to replace older tax systems leads to increased revenue collection compared to the past years before the implementation process. It has also been shown that the introduction of administrative tax reforms increased corporate tax compliance in several ways that included the self-assessment system and voluntary compliance which consequently reduced the number of queues at the Indonesia Tax Authority and huge savings on human resource who used to collect tax prior to the tax reforms. The study thus concluded that, electronic tax registration, and electronic tax identification number, electronic filing of tax return and electronic tax payment and administrative reforms have statistical positive significant relationship with revenue performance, implying that digitalization has a positive and a statistically significant influence on revenue performance. The study thus suggested that policy makers in Indonesia should ensure that there is stable equilibrium for the exchange rates as they adversely affect the tax collection process. Moreover, the laws governing tax collection in Indonesia should be reviewed and criminal liability for those delinquent tax payers, the government also need to offer some support with regards to tax offenders.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: Subscribing to OTT (Over The Top) platforms and reading fictional or non-fictional books were two of the entertainment options examined in this study. Design/Research Methodology/approach: A total of 351 college graduate students participated in the study, which was performed in Mumbai. We employed regression, ANOVA, independent t test, and mean test. Findings: According to the findings, movie theatres posed as a stumbling block in the way of more OTT platform subscriptions. However, it did not encourage college graduates to read more fiction and nonfiction. Research Implications: OTT services have yet to reach folks who do not attend movies in theatres. OTT platforms may use offline advertising methods such as promotion events in malls or on motorways during this time. Furthermore, OTT platforms have yet to offer ethnically cultural programmes that may appeal to a college graduate of this type. Scope for future work / Research limitations: Only graduate students and a specified age range are included in the study. It is held in a city setting. Among the many options for amusement, the study chose only two. In the future, the study could be expanded by introducing more entertainment options. A post-pandemic investigation could yield a different conclusion. Originality/value: According to a survey of the literature, no research have looked at whether youths have stopped going to the movies. As a result, this research will assist determine whether youths are more likely to migrate to OTT platforms and forego movie theatre trips completely.

Objectives: Investors' investments patterns, inclinations, and views of open-ended Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS) Mutual Funds are discussed in this study. Design Methodology: For the study, 251 respondents from M.P., District Indore, were given structured questionnaires. Various statistical procedures, such as ANOVA, coefficients, and regression analysis, were used to analyse the collected data. Findings: The security of the principal amount, liquidity, and capital appreciation are the most important aspects of the investment. Investors' opinions of tax-saving mutual funds have a limited influence on behaviour and inclinations. Research Implications: Gradual and systematic choices centred on high-quality, personalised perspectives of investment options should be given priority. Providing practice-based mutual fund investments that are optimised for the features of various investment avenues would increase investors' effectiveness and, as a result, contribute to expanding their understanding of mutual fund schemes and their role in capital markets. Scope for future work / Research limitations: In the relationship between preferences and behaviour in open ended tax saving mutual fund schemes, there may be more than one mediator. Originality/value: This will be the first study to look into perceptions as a possible mediator between preferences and behaviour. We looked at the mediating effects of perceptions on various preferences and behaviours as predictors.

IMPLICATIONS OF POPULATION GROWTH AND MIGRATION ON URBANIZATION
Authors:   Asst. Professor, MITRC Alwar, Rajasthan, India, Ananad Sandip
Published: November 2022

Objectives: The study aims to find out the relationship and impact of the percentage of people living in urban areas on the Standard of Living and Labour Force Participation Rate. Design Methodology: The Standard of Living component is measured using the GNI Per Capita (2011 US$PPP). Using data from the World Bank Database, correlation and regression analysis is done among Urban Population % as well as on GNI Per Capita and Labour Force Participation Rate separately. Findings: The percentage of Urban Population is very strongly related and has a significant impact on both GNI Per Capita and Labour Force Participation Rate. It can be used to explain the trends in both the variables. Research Implications: The study confirms previous research that rise in urban population leads to increase in the standard of living. However, GNI Per Capita, even if it is used by the United Nations for its Human Development Index’s standard of living indicator, hides the true story of inequalities existing in the country. A country might show a high per-capita income and still have about one-fourth of its population living in abject poverty. Scope for future work / Research limitations: Further studies can be done on how to increase employment opportunities in the rural areas, as well as how to reduce urbanization because of the current problems in urban areas. It should be looked into how the standard of living in rural areas can be improved. By standard of living, income should not be the only thing taken into account, but rather, their overall quality of life. Originality/value: Increase in urban population over the years has its benefits in the form of increased income and standard of living but it also comes with the downsides of population explosion, crime rates, and a host of environmental problems. Even so, we need to find out if urban population drives the people’s standard of living as well as how much of the working-age population goes into the labour force.
