            <description><![CDATA[This study examines the impact of generic competitive strategies on competitive advantage (CA) in Egypt’s leather industry, using Michael Porter’s framework of cost leadership strategy (CLS), differentiation strategy (DS), and focus strategy (FS). The sector was chosen for its economic significance and the limited research addressing this vital industry, as Egypt’s large population creates strong demand for leather products. Data were collected from 116 firms through a structured survey. Correlation analysis assessed the relationships among strategies and CA, while multiple regression measured their effects. Findings reveal that the three strategies together explain 77.20% of the variation in CA, underscoring their importance in strengthening competitiveness. DS emerged as the most influential, followed by CLS and FS, each showing significant positive effects. The results highlight the need for firms to align strategic choices with market demands. Future research should further explore external factors such as market dynamics that shape CA.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The study aims to assess innovation levels of European cities and capitals using both hard data and soft indicators that shape an innovation-friendly climate. Innovation Cities Index 2023 data (2ThinkNow) covering 139 European cities, including 34 capitals, were analyzed. Capitals were compared with other national cities, and countries were grouped by innovation gaps between capitals and second-ranked cities. EU capitals outperform other European capitals, while non-EU capitals with close EU cooperation also achieve higher scores. Capitals generally exceed other cities in innovation, with exceptions. Two structural patterns emerge: countries with large capital-city innovation gaps versus those with balanced urban development. Results provide guidance for policymakers and urban planners seeking to foster balanced and sustainable innovation across national urban systems. The study uniquely integrates hard and soft innovation data to reveal how EU integration influences comparative urban innovation patterns across Europe.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The capabilities of microenterprises can contribute to economic, social, and environmental benefits by fostering sustainable value creation (SVC) as a key driver of rural community development. This study examines the impact of dynamic capabilities on SVC among rural microenterprises in Mexico. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational–causal research design was applied. Data were collected from 206 rural microenterprises using a Likert-scale survey instrument and analyzed through covariance-based structural equation modeling. The results revealed that the dynamic capabilities of sensing, integrating, and innovating exert a significant influence on SVC, enhancing both competitiveness and the social and environmental performance of micro-enterprises. Furthermore, microenterprises with stronger dynamic capabilities demonstrate greater adaptability to market changes and the ability to develop innovative strategies that reinforce their sustainability. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of fostering dynamic capabilities in rural microenterprises as a critical factor in promoting economic, social, and environmental development.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study examines how artificial intelligence-powered accounting information system (AIA) contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) and inclusive green growth (IGG), with circular economy practices (CEE) proposed as a mediating mechanism. The hypothetico-deductive technique is employed with a cross-sectional sample of 712 respondents using convenience and snowball sampling methods. The model’s postulated linkages were formulated based on a comprehensive evaluation of the relevant literature and investigations by partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA). The results reveal that AIA significantly and positively impact SDG 16 and IGG by CEE partially mediating. The proposed model highlights the structural links among AIA, CEE, IGG, and SDG 16, offering practical insights for organizations seeking to allocate resources toward transparency, accountability, and sustainable institutional development.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The growing demand for credible financial and non-financial disclosures has intensified the need to understand their impact on bank performance. However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding how optional financial disclosures affect bank performance, which presents a key challenge in emerging markets. The objective of this study is to examine how optional financial information reporting influences sustainable strategic financial performance in the Iraqi banking sector. The study used secondary data, and multiple analyses were conducted. While the results revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between optional financial information disclosure and profitability (r = 0.779, P = 0.035), as well as forward-looking expense/revenue reporting and liquidity (r = 0.725, P = 0.060). Capital adequacy emerged as the only performance measure with a statistically significant difference across the banks (χ
               2 = 7.200, P = 0.027), reflecting varying regulatory capital management approaches. While banks prioritized public and shareholder information, CSR reporting scored the lowest. The study underscores the strategic value of CSR reporting in specific dimensions and transparency in promoting the financial stability and stakeholder confidence, and provides suggestions for the banking institutions, regulators, and the government. This research contributes to understanding how context-specific CSR reporting practices impact sustainable performance in emerging markets.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Weberian and Taylorist administrative theories can be attributed to organizational requirements that arose with the Industrial Revolution. In Weberian administration, it is believed that the legal-rational bureaucracy is best type organization, which has been characterized by making rules, having things written down, giving orders, setting up ranks, and controlling everything closely. By reviewing literatures, research will seek to establish similarities and differences in change mechanisms from Weberian administration to Neoweberian administration and Taylorism to Neotaylorism. Literature review concluded that although Neoweberian administration and Neotaylorism use different managerial approaches, they are similar deal-ing with efficiency and effectiveness under public service capacity. It should be noted that every approach has its pros and cons. Therefore, they must use these approaches appropriately, taking into consideration aims, culture, and external environment in organization. Different sections shed light on these approaches for today organizational problems.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[As pointed out by institutional economics, economic indicators may be improved by social institutions that maintain peace and order. Old Institutional Economics (OIE) believes that government should solve systemic socioeconomic problems according to given ideology. On the other hand, New Institutional Economics (NIE) supports only very little or state independent. Public choice theory, property rights, and agency theory have been of great importance in shaping New Public Management (NPM) through transaction cost theory application that underlies government role as regulator and controller. Following NIE, NPM has incorporated measures such as cutting down government, increasing efficiency and effectiveness, encouraging cost effectiveness, decentralizing power, and providing services at uniform standards. This study aimed to determine how NPM developed from the different theories related to NIE. This research evaluates NIE applications, i.e., public choice, transaction costs, and agency and property rights, in relation to NPM reform evolution, development, and execution. The study also considers institutional challenges on promoting market-driven public management practices. NIE ideas are combined with NPM principles such as effectiveness, marketization, and focus on results. It analyses the part played by institutional mechanisms in these reforms or not and tries to say what conditions lead to successful NPM reforms with regard to institutional factors. This study demonstrates that NIE can explain changes in public administration and may serve as advice for policymakers in proper reforms. Moreover, certain adaptation approaches are recommended for assessing institutional impediments prior to NPM reforms. Nevertheless, research recognizes limitations, including methodological problems in quantifying institutional variables, difficulties in determining cause–effect links between institutional factors and reform results, as well as the challenge of isolating NIE’s impact from other factors in public sector reform.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study examines the determinants of retirement saving behavior among sports lecturers in Vietnam through an extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework. Little research has examined the saving behavior of academic professionals, particularly in specialized fields such as sports education. Our research fills this gap by focusing on sports lecturers, a distinct academic group facing unique financial planning challenges. Through a comprehensive survey of 238 sports lecturers across Vietnamese universities, structural equation modeling is applied to analyze how attitudes toward retirement saving, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, financial knowledge, and perception of risk influence retirement saving behavior. Results reveal that while saving intention and risk perception are the most significant predictors of actual saving behavior, the relationship is insignificantly proven with perceived behavioral control. Financial knowledge demonstrates substantial indirect effects on saving behavior through both attitude and perceived behavioral control pathways. Risk perception exhibits direct effects on saving behavior but not on saving intention.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Generation Y (Gen Y) employees have been currently the key workforce of today’s society. They are considered a competent and experienced employee generation, who contribute significantly to social development. However, the organizational commitment of Gen Y employees is declining, affecting the efficiency of organizations. Based on the analysis results of a survey sample of 242 millennial employees at Hanoi-based businesses, the study examines the influence of six factors, including job satisfaction, working conditions, work–life balance, supervisor support, career development opportunities, and compensation and benefits on the organizational commitment of millennial employees. Research result shows that these factors have significant influences on organization commitment of Gen Y, in which job satisfaction has the greatest impact; compensation and benefits have the smallest impact. Accordingly, the article proposes some implications to improve the organizational commitment of millennial employees in the coming time.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This research examines the roles of psychological capital and job satisfaction in individual employee performance, mediated by work engagement, at a private hospital. The research was conducted at a private hospital, with a total of 200 respondents selected through purposive sampling. This study uses the structural equation modeling-partial least square (SEM-PLS) method as a data analysis tool. The results of the study indicate that work engagement is directly influenced by both job satisfaction and psychological capital. Furthermore, contextual performance is influenced by both job satisfaction and psychological capital. Task performance, on the other hand, is influenced by work engagement, psychological capital, and job satisfaction. Additionally, counterproductive work behavior is influenced by work engagement. Moreover, the indirect effects of psychological capital and job satisfaction significantly affect task performance and counterproductive work behavior but do not affect contextual performance. Based on these findings, it is crucial for the hospital to prioritize psychological capital and job satisfaction as primary factors affecting the quality of employee performance.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Evaluating the performance of banks is important to governments and bankers, but it is also important to investors. Usually, retail investors judge the strength of a bank by its return on capital ratio. However, that ratio does not fully assess how efficiently the inputs are used to produce the outputs. In this paper, we examine different methods to evaluate the efficiency of Vietnam's commercial banks. Three problems A, B, and C are proposed to measure efficiency. A Decision-Making Unit that is A-efficient is not necessarily B-efficient; similarly, a Decision-Making Unit that is B-efficient may not necessarily be C-efficient. Conversely, if a Decision-Making Unit is C-efficient, then it is certainly B-efficient and A-efficient. We have proven the existence of solutions to the problems and run experiments for 26 commercial banks in Vietnam. The obtained results prove the theory's correctness and measure banks' relative efficiency.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This study examines how malleable beliefs about social capital and proactive networking behaviors influence collaboration and innovation within agribusiness supply chains. Drawing on the Lay Theories of Networking (Kuwabara, Hildebrand and Zou, 2018), it investigates the role of growth-oriented mindsets in shaping networking engagement. Individuals who perceive social capital as expandable tend to participate more actively in building professional connections. Utilizing survey data from agribusiness professionals, the study employs factor analysis and structural equation modeling to test six hypotheses related to networking dynamics, collaborative practices, and innovation outcomes. Results indicate that malleable beliefs foster proactive networking, which in turn strengthens collaboration and drives innovation across complex supply chain environments. Additionally, collaboration emerges as a key mediating mechanism linking networking behaviors to innovation performance. These findings provide actionable guidance for agribusiness managers aiming to cultivate a collaborative culture, stimulate innovation, and enhance competitiveness through strategic use of social capital and network development.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to assess factors affecting the digital readiness of employees working within an Indonesian bank. The literature referred to in this study deals with intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, digital readiness, and the technology acceptance model (TAM). This study adopted a quantitative approach, where the selected population was employees working in the Indonesian banking sector, and the sample of this study was employees who were affected by digitalization. Related to the dynamics to be proven in this study, the data analysis technique of this study adopted partial least squares structural equation modeling. The results of this study indicate that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness can mediate both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation toward employees’ intentional digital readiness. The results of this study can be a valuable input for banks in Indonesia and other banks that have similar characteristics to Indonesia to consider not only extrinsic motivation but also help employees understand the importance of readiness for digitalization from within themselves.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper examines the effects of entrepreneurship on growth and employment in GCC countries during the period 2006–2019. The fixed and random effects suggest that the development of entrepreneurship is associated with higher economic growth. In addition, the results indicate that other variables, such as employment, trade openness, and foreign direct investment, are key factors influencing economic growth. The findings also reveal the existence of a positive relationship between entrepreneurship and employment in GCC countries. Specifically, the estimates indicate that economic growth, trade openness, and foreign direct investment are positively linked to employment. These findings have been confirmed using the Ordinary Least Squares, Feasible Generalized Least Squares, and Panel-Corrected Standard Errors techniques. The study concludes the importance for decision-makers in GCC region to implement measures that aim to promote entrepreneurship to boost growth and employment.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The aim of this article is to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine influenced the functioning of the food service sector in Poland between 2020 and 2023. The research utilized industry reports and data from the Central Statistical Office, allowing for the identification of key changes in the industry. The findings reveal that the inflation increase, which reached 17% in the food service sector in 2022, led to significant price hikes in raw materials and services, consequently affecting the number of customers. Practical implications highlight the necessity for entrepreneurs to adapt by implementing menu changes, reducing portion sizes, and developing takeout services. The originality of the study lies in the detailed analysis of consumer behavior and adaptive strategies of food service entities in the face of the crisis. The article contributes new insights into the response of the food service sector to challenges arising from global crises, which may be beneficial for industry practitioners.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The research aims to analyze the role of brand attraction in mediating social media marketing, human centric brands, and digital anthropology on branding performance. The study's sample consisted of 500 consumers of products with brand appeal in East Java, Indonesia. Structural equation modeling is the data analysis technique used in this study. The research results show that there is a direct or indirect influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. This research can enrich our understanding of how brand attraction functions as a mediator in the context of digital marketing. This could provide a new theoretical foundation for understanding the complex relationship between branding, social media marketing, and brand performance. Brand attraction as an intervening variable because brand attraction will have an impact on increasing branding performance, which is supported by social media marketing, human-centric brands, and digital anthropology.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This paper examines the effect of liquidity constraints on tax liability targeting among banks in Ghana, with emphasis on the persistence and speed of adjustment toward tax targets. While liquidityconstrained banks are expected to engage in aggressive tax planning to generate cash savings, empirical evidence on the dynamic adjustment process remains limited. Using monthly data converted from audited annual reports for 2008–2022 via the Denton procedure, the study applies dynamic ordinary least squares, impulse response functions, delay, and half-life analyses. The results reveal significant heterogeneity across liquidity-constraint regimes, with higher persistence and faster adjustment under constrained conditions. Tax liability targeting adjusts most rapidly when deposit growth is constrained and slowest under loan–deposit constraints. Overall, the study contributes to the tax planning literature by demonstrating that banks’ tax behaviour is intrinsically dynamic and conditioned by liquidity-constraint transitions, highlighting the importance of policies that mitigate liquidity stress to limit aggressive tax practices.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[This research is motivated by the role of equity issues in financing policy to leverage growth opportunities and the assets in place of firms in Indonesia post-COVID-19. The objective of this article is to analyze the differences in asymmetric information embedded in total assets and growth opportunities based on the firm's life cycle. The data collected consist of 126 firm observations from companies issuing equity for financing from 2020 to 2023. Firms issued more equity in 2021 (34.1%) and 2022 (34.1%) than 2020 (11.9%) and 2023 (19.8% of the 126 observations). The data were analyzed using three regression models: for all firms, for firms in the growth stage, and for firms in the maturity stage. This article presents varied results. The first and third models demonstrate that increases in total assets and growth opportunities reduce asymmetric information, which in turn leads to higher average funds raised through equity issuance. However, in the second model, an increase in the total assets of firms in the growth stage decreases asymmetric information, prompting firms to prefer equity issuance. In contrast, growth opportunities do not represent market-sensitive information and thus do not impact equity issuance. Notably, the mature stage model aligns more closely with the pecking order theory than the growth stage model.]]></description>
