title: Mediating role of entrepreneurial intention on the relationship between entrepreneurship education and employability: a study on university students from a developing country

description: This study assesses how entrepreneurship education influences the entrepreneurial intentions and employability of students. It also investigates the mediation effect of entrepreneurial intentions on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and employability, as well as the direct effects on employability. In this research, a quantitative method was used to gather data from 397 university students through a survey questionnaire measured on a seven-point Likert scale using a convenience sampling method. We utilized structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine the data. A CMV model was used to evaluate the model’s fitness, validity, reliability and of the data, and an SEM technique was used to test the hypotheses. The study found that entrepreneurship education could boost students’ employability as well as their desire to start their own businesses. It shows how important entrepreneurship education is for learning the skills and knowledge needed to start a business. The study also suggests that having entrepreneurial intentions can enhance one’s employability. This study reveals a heightened understanding of how entrepreneurship education impacts on entrepreneurial intention and employability. These insights can guide improvements in entrepreneurship programs to align with local employment needs. Moreover, the identified mediator, entrepreneurial intentions, presents a targeted opportunity for intervention, suggesting practical ways to cultivate entrepreneurial skills and mindset, ultimately enhancing employability prospects in the region. Unlocking the doors to career success and personal enterprise, our study delves into the transformative power of entrepreneurship education. We discovered that not only does such education enhance employability among students, but it ignites a passion for entrepreneurship itself. Picture a world where learning to start your own business not only opens doors to self-employment but also boosts your overall job prospects. Our findings shed light on the vital role entrepreneurial intentions play in this journey, offering a roadmap for educators and policymakers to refine programs that not only meet local employment needs but also foster a mindset of innovation and empowerment. Join us in envisioning a future where education becomes the key to unlocking both traditional job opportunities and the entrepreneurial spirit within us all.

title: Employee creativity deterrence by abusive supervision through the lens (mediation) of employee silence

description: Based on the interactionist perspective of organizational creativity, conservation of resource theory and social exchange theory, this study finds out the contextual factors from the social context of the organizations that affect the creativity of an employee. Data from the 443 engineers of software houses in Pakistan is collected through questionnaires. SPSS version 25 is used for demographics, internal reliability and mediation through Hayes macro process. AMOS26 is used for internal consistency, convergent validity and discriminant validity. Hayes macro process model 4 is used for mediation analysis. Findings have confirmed that abusive supervision is one of the major reasons behind the decrease in employee creativity. Employee silence partially mediates their relationship as the relationship between abusive supervision and employee creativity still remains significant. The mediating role of employee silence in the relationship between abusive supervision and employee creativity is an important novelty of this study. Several future directions about partial mediation, measuring scales and malevolent creativity are discussed in the future directions section of the study. Creativity is an important tool for organizations to stay competitive in this globalized ever changing business environment. It is important to figure out the factors influencing it. Abusive supervision is among one of those factors. This study finds out the relationship between abusive supervision and employee creativity. Another important aspect is about finding the path/mechanism through which creativity of an employee is affected. This study is important for organizations directly connected with creativity. A more in depth review of their supervision systems can help to increase the creativity of their employees and hence can improve the performance of those organizations. Appropriate measures to overcome such issues are also suggested in practical implications section of this study.

title: Unveiling the role of job involvement as a mediator in the linkage between academics’ job satisfaction and service quality

description: The perceptions of employees about their work and organization are influenced by a variety of attitudes. As a result, the impact of employee attitudes like job involvement (JI) and job satisfaction (JS) on organizational performance (service quality) is still unknown, and it is also uncertain how job involvement will mediate this relationship. Therefore, the goal of this work is to incorporate a mediating model to enhance Service Quality (SQ) through JI and JS and explore how that model can improve and sustain SQ in institutions of higher learning in poor nations. This work utilized a conceptual integration between service providers and how well the service is received by customers. It applied dual-perspective and the cross-sectional, ex-post facto survey method by using two sets of questionnaires, and a two-sample study design was used to obtain data from the respondents. For this study, the sample size consisted of the lecturers (296 participants) and their students (1480 participants). SEM was utilized to examine the data that had been gathered. The data analysis revealed that JS had a sizable influence on JI and SQ (i.e. the caliber of the lectures they heard in class that influenced their learning capabilities). JI had a significant impact on SQ and partly mediated the impact of JS & and SQ. This research adds to knowledge by connecting the JI, JS of employees and SQ perceived by customers. In order to promote SQ, employees JI and JS are essential. This study also has practical applications for students, employees, organizations and society.

title: Rethinking growth and survival of hospitality industry in Jordan: the role of responsible and resilient leadership styles in managing crisis

description: The crisis in Jordan has had disastrous effects on the national economy, particularly impacting the hospitality sector. Confronted with dramatic uncertainty, hospitality leaders must rapidly nurture responsibility and resilience. To enhance our understanding of how responsible and resilient leadership responds to such shocks, we aim to investigate if responsible and resilient leadership styles can foster crisis management in the hospitality sector through the mediating path of knowledge management, and the moderating role of digital transformation using the conservation of resources (COR) theory to support our hypotheses. This theory asserts that organizational resources facilitate effective crisis management, implying that adequate resources and support systems enable organizations to navigate and recover from crises effectively. Data was gathered from 154 owners and senior managers in the hospitality sector, and the proposed relationships were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). These findings imply that responsible and resilient leadership styles significantly influence crisis management. Furthermore, knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between these leadership styles and effective crisis management. Finally, the study identifies digital transformation as a significant moderator between knowledge sharing and crisis management. This research contributes to the existing literature on leadership and crisis management by demonstrating that, during times of crisis, leadership characterized by responsibility and resilience enhances crisis management within the hospitality sector.

title: Policy recommendations for digital banking development contributing to sustainable development in Vietnam

description: The prolonged period of the COVID-19 epidemic has dramatically impacted the lives of every individual globally, giving rise to social risks and affecting all aspects of operations, including banking activities. Because direct transactions cannot be made, customers must go through the Internet to make their transactions. The Internet creates many channels for consumers to participate in transactions, interact with banks, and conveniently use financial services. This leads to consumers’ habits shifting from offline to online and non-cash payments. This shifting trend pushes banks to change to meet customer needs and the widespread deployment of mobile banking, online banking, and digital banking to satisfy requirements and increase customer experience while competing with financial technology companies. Thus, the article’s goal is to explore critical factors affecting digital banking development, and from that, the author gave policy recommendations for developing digital banking in Vietnam. Based on the article’s goal, the researchers utilized a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies with a sample size of 350 managers related to 10 commercial banks in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City using SPSS 20.0 and Amos to process the data survey. The study’s contributions help policymakers and banking managers apply research results to develop six policy recommendations for digital banking, an inevitable trend of commercial banks today. The research results also analyzed the significant advantages, difficulties, and challenges. The research paper has presented some advantages, pointed out some problems and difficulties that Vietnamese commercial banks face, and proposed policy recommendations for digital banking and sustainable development.

title: Turgor Loss Point, Leaf Mass Area, Wood Density, and Leaf Phenology for 50 Tree Species in Barro Colorado Island 50-ha Plot

description: This dataset contains summary statistics for tropical tree species traits from 50 dominant canopy tree species. Leaves were sampled between April and July 2018 within the Barro Colorado Island (BCI) 50-hectare Forest Dynamics Plot, as described in Table S1 of the publication:Kunert, N., J. Zailaa, V. Herrmann, H. C. Muller-Landau, S. J. Wright, R. Pérez, S. M. McMahon, R. C. Condit, S. P. Hubbell, L. Sack, S. J. Davies, and K. J. Anderson-Teixeira. 2021. Leaf turgor loss point shapes local and regional distributions of evergreen but not deciduous tropical trees. New Phytologist, 230: 485-496. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.17187This dataset provides observed mean values and standard deviations for turgor loss point (TLP), leaf mass area (LMA), wood density (WD), and leaf phenology categories across these species.Kunert et al. 2021 Summary:-The effects of climate change on tropical forests will depend on how diverse tropical tree species respond to drought. Current distributions of evergreen and deciduous tree species across local and regional moisture gradients reflect their ability to tolerate drought stress, and might be explained by functional traits.-We measured leaf water potential at turgor loss (i.e. ‘wilting point’; πtlp), wood density (WD) and leaf mass per area (LMA) on 50 of the most abundant tree species in central Panama. We then tested their ability to explain distributions of evergreen and deciduous species within a 50 ha plot on Barro Colorado Island and across a 70 km rainfall gradient spanning the Isthmus of Panama.-Among evergreen trees, species with lower πtlp were associated with drier habitats, with πtlp explaining 28% and 32% of habitat association on local and regional scales, respectively, greatly exceeding the predictive power of WD and LMA. In contrast, πtlp did not predict habitat associations among deciduous species.-Across spatial scales, πtlp is a useful indicator of habitat preference for tropical tree species that retain their leaves during periods of water stress, and holds the potential to predict vegetation responses to climate change.
