Published: June 2023

The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating role of innovation on the relationship between organisational culture and performance of large manufacturing firms in Pakistan. Data for the study was collected through a survey from 320 large manufacturing firms operating in Pakistan and responses were analyzed to assess the relationships between organisational culture, innovation, and firm performance. The results indicate that organisational culture is positively related to firm performance, and its positive relationship is mediated by innovation. These findings provide useful insights for organizations, particularly in the manufacturing industry, seeking to be competitive and responsive to environmental changes by successfully introducing innovations. Conclusions emphasize that mechanisms to encourage and foster an innovative culture in the organization are likely to facilitate the introduction, adoption, and diffusion of innovations which, in turn, is likely to result in the achievement of superior firm performance. In addition, a few scholars have considered innovation as a key driver of firm performance besides that, fewer researchers have studied innovations as being impacted by organisational culture. This paper makes a significant contribution to the prevailing literature by empirically examining the relationship between organisational culture, innovation, and firm performance.

Furthermore, this study will investigate both relationship unidirectional and bidirectional yet study will focus on ten ASEAN countries between the year 2004 to 2017 by adopting and beautifying the tourism-led growth hypothesis. Tourism-led growth hypothesis state that economic activities will influence by tourism in the short run and the long run. Besides, panel data will be used with the Random-Effects model and a fixed effects model. The result found that there was a positive relationship between foreign direct investment and tourism, and for the causality also found a positive relationship between tourism and foreign direct investment. As a summary, increasing tourism arrivals will lead to an increase in foreign direct investment and vice versa. The results show that both FDI and tourism arrivals play a role in enhancing economic activity. These relationships as an important tool for policy implication in order to achieve sustainable growth in the tourism sector and for the economy as well and in the same time would give a definite improvement for government policy on foreign direct investment.

EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PUBLIC SPENDING ON EDUCATION AND UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM IN NIGERIA
Authors: Binuomoyo Olayinka K.
Published: June 2023

Much of the problems of unemployment in the past have been placed on the inadequacy of the country’s schooling system to be able to impact needed skills. Empirical and theoretical evidence is overwhelmingly in support of the significant role of public expenditure in education having a multiplier effect on employment. Empirical evidence shows that this is not consistent in a macroeconomic framework. Government has been indicted for not doing enough to support education with its budgetary shortcomings to the sector. This study investigates the impact of government spending on unemployment in Nigeria. OLS estimates adopted for secondary data regressed over the 27 years for unemployment, federal government recurrent expenditure on education and economic growth indicated that while growth is significant and indeed influence unemployment negatively in line with our a-priori expectation, it is not the same for the impact of public expenditure on education. Our findings from this were that while Nigeria’s educational capacity has increased, its impact is shallow as the economy is unable to absorb the graduates. To address this anomaly, the government will need to enhance its effectiveness through creating adequate channels for enterprise growth and sustainability which will increase the latter’s capacity to employ more labour.

Published: June 2023

This study investigates the impact of liquidity risk on stock returns in the Malaysian stock exchange using the LCAPM model of Acharya and Pedersen. This research employed firm-level equity data involving 419 continuously listed firms in Bursa Malaysia from January 2000 to December 2018. The study employed LCAPM asset pricing model tested using Fama-Macbeth two-stage cross-sectional regression. The findings suggest that the covariance between stock illiquidity and the market return is not priced in the Malaysian stock market. While, the other explanatory variables are significant in explaining the cross-sectional variations of stock returns, but only two variables; the commonality in liquidity and net liquidity risks are correctly signed. The evidence is limited to Malaysian corporations listed in the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia. These findings show some new evidence on the application of the LCAPM model in the emerging markets by using the closing per cent quoted spread impact (CPQS Impact) of Chung and Zhang (2014) as a measure of illiquidity. This research provides new insights on LCAPM application in the Malaysian stock market.

The Effect of Transformational Leadership on Individual Multidimensional Reactions to Organizational Change with Self-efficacy as a Mediator
Authors: Deviana Riszty Budi , Hendarsjah Hidajat
Published: June 2023

There have been many previous studies that have analyzed individual reactions to organizational change and associated them with various antecedents. However, these studies tend to only dichotomize individual reactions into forms of resistant and not resistant. Resistance itself is inconsistently defined and associated with many different aspects. This study analyzes individual reactions to organizational change from another point of view using a comprehensive reconceptualization of reactions with an attitude theory approach that include cognitive, emotional, and intentional dimensions. This study includes transformational leadership variables as part of the leadership factor and self-efficacy as part of the individual factors that influence organizational change. The research sample includes 304 civil servants within the BPS-Statistics of Jawa Tengah Province, Indonesia. The collected data were analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the bootstrapping analysis show that transformational leadership has a significantly positive effect on the three dimensions of individual reactions to change. The influence of transformational leadership can be enhanced through the role of self-efficacy as a mediator. This research provides practical implications for organizations in increasing the chances of successful change efforts through positive individual reactions. Positive reactions are generated through transformational leadership which can provide self-efficacy as an important resource for individuals in the process of organizational change. In line with COR theory, individuals who have resources tend to be more prepared to face challenges, demands, and uncertainties, especially in the context of organizational change.

Metrological assessment of a robotic total station for use in post-earthquake emergency conditions
Authors: D'Emilia Giulio , Natale Emanuela
Published: June 2023

Abstract. The paper provides synthetic indications regarding the measuring performances of procedures for using a robotic total station (RTS) in emergency situations, such as the survey of the structural conditions of buildings and the assessment of the safety level for rescue operations after the occurrence of an earthquake. Particular attention is paid to operative aspects that could impact on the performance of the system in this situation; specifically considered is the effect of the layout of the measurement setup and of the number of monitoring points, depending on the geometry of the site and of the considered buildings, because the criticality of emergency conditions imposes geometrical solutions which are far from having optimal solutions. The analysis is carried out with reference to two different buildings, which have different characteristics from the point of view of height and distance from the instrument, and that implies different geometrical constraints for the instrument during the acquisition of the monitoring
points. The methodology allows the evaluation of the repeatability, reproducibility, and detection limit of a RTS, in field conditions, referring to a 1-year observation period, with reference to different quantities, like positions of the monitoring points and the inclination of walls and façades. In particular, the analysis of the geometrical characteristics of reduced configurations of the monitoring points has highlighted interesting aspects in view of defining a simplified procedure, which is also suitable for speeding up the acquisition of reliable data in emergency conditions.

La transición energética y los problemas medioambientales producto del uso de los combustibles fósiles son una realidad materializada en los diferentes tratados y compromisos por parte de todas las economías a nivel mundial; sin embargo, para alcanzar las metas y el desarrollo sostenible, se requieren nuevas formas de innovación que creen espacio a nuevos modelos de negocios con impactos sociales significativos, de forma que no se sacrifique bienestar económico, social y ambiental. El objetivo del estudio actual es identificar cómo el emprendimiento social facilita la transición energética de las economías basadas en combustibles fósiles, hasta la creación de economías basadas en el hidrógeno. La investigación siguió una metodología cualitativa-descriptiva. Dentro de los principales resultados se encontró que el emprendimiento social, además de fomentar los espacios a los nuevos modelos de negocio, facilita la integración de actores y agentes socioeconómicos, lo cual, aplicado sobre los diferentes sectores a descarbonizar, fomentaría la inversión orientada hacia un cambio de raíz que conlleve a una sociedad de cero emisiones y a las diferentes mejoras sociales colaterales.

El liderazgo en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) ha sido un tema de interés creciente en la investigación empresarial, este está relacionado con mejores resultados financieros, mayor satisfacción de los empleados y menor rotación del personal. Las pymes representan una gran cantidad de empresas en todo el mundo y a menudo son consideradas como el motor de la economía en muchos países. El presente estudio se trazó como objetivo analizar cómo el liderazgo en las pymes influye en el clima laboral y en el rendimiento de los empleados. La metodología fue cuantitativa, mientras que el enfoque paradigmático utilizado fue positivista, así mismo, el método empleado fue analítico-relacional y transversal de campo, con uso de un cuestionario con escala Likert. Los resultados obtenidos dan cuenta de un liderazgo poco efectivo. El 52,4% de los empleados están en desacuerdo o muy en desacuerdo con el liderazgo, mientras que el 63,0% de los consultados sostienen que el clima laboral es desfavorable o muy desfavorable. La falta de liderazgo efectivo ha llevado a un clima organizacional negativo. Se sugiere a las empresas establecer estrategias que permitirán fortalecer el liderazgo y mejorar el clima laboral de sus organizaciones.
