TL;DR: In this paper , the authors empirically validated the construct of talent management and further showed that talent management has a significant impact on HR outcomes like employee creativity, innovativeness, and competency.
Abstract: Despite the importance of oil and gas for socio-economic capital, the scholarly study focused on innovative methods such as talent management in this industry has been limited. Drawing from the theory of Miner (1973), this research paper aims to empirically validate the construct of talent management and further throw light on the relationship between talent management and organisational innovativeness, as well as organisational competency development specifically in the Indian oil and gas industry. A sample of 598 managers operating in five distinct oil and gas firms in India took part in the process of research. Regression analysis confirms that talent management has a significant impact on HR outcomes like employee creativity, innovativeness, and competency. This empirical research has broadened our knowledge of the elements of talent management and their impact on organisational outcomes like innovation capabilities of the Indian oil and gas sector which have not been addressed together in previous empirical studies in India.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors assess the empirical relationship between corporate governance and the financial performance of firms in the Indian context by using a set of board and ownership characteristics as representatives of corporate governance practices and employ a panel dataset comprising of a large sample of 1,347 Indian non-financial companies for the period 2010 to 2018.
Abstract: This study attempts to assess the empirical relationship between corporate governance and the financial performance of firms in the Indian context by using a set of board and ownership characteristics as representatives of corporate governance practices. We employ a panel dataset comprising of a large sample of 1,347 Indian non-financial companies for the period 2010 to 2018. For studying firm performance, we use both accounting-based performance measures like return on assets (ROA) as well as market-based performance measures like Tobin's Q (TQ). Starting from the basic static panel estimation approach using the fixed-effects estimator, we gradually move on to dynamic panel estimation using different GMM and system GMM estimators to examine the various board characteristics that influence firm performance in India. Based on our final model estimated using system GMM, we infer that on one hand, board size, board activity, and promoter ownership are found to positively influence firm performance while on the other hand, board meetings are found to be negatively related to firm performance. For policymakers and corporates, our study provides valuable insights into the specific aspects of corporate governance that can be targeted and implemented effectively to improve the financial performance of firms.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the current scenario of engineering education in India including the closure of a number of courses and colleges due to industry and market constraints, and present challenges and opportunities available for this web and data analytics approach have also been presented.
Abstract: The Indian software industry is competing with the developed world counterparts and the same is true for other sectors like civil, chemical, mechanical and electronic equipment, etc. This success of the Indian industry is attributed by the vital input of the engineering education. The engineering education sector in India generates a storing pool of engineers for the industry. On the other hand, the higher education sector is taking a paradigm shift in India with many private universities and colleges coming into existence. These colleges are having a tough challenge to satisfy student's interest, while maintaining good infrastructure, good number of students, superior faculty profiles and excellent linkages with industry. The present work illustrates the current scenario of engineering education in India including the closure of a number of courses and colleges due to industry and market constraints. Creative skills used by private colleges to improve their marketing and advertising efforts include the analysis of their own websites and social media, tracking third party websites and then planning the content accordingly. All these web and social media trends have been presented in this paper considering the present day engineering education scenario. Challenges and opportunities available for this web and data analytics approach have also been presented in this work.

TL;DR: In this article , a path analysis model was generated through a partial least square-structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to examine and test the underlying relationship among the correspondent variables, which revealed that value consciousness (encompassing price, healthiness and quality) influences the consumer attitude, which in turn has an impact on the buying intention towards residential property in Kolkata.
Abstract: The aim of the current study is to explore the main specific determinants of the consumer buying intention towards residential property in the light of the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 2005). Data were collected from the residential property buyers located in Kolkata (India), and then were subject to a factorial analysis via EFA and CFA. Therefore, a path analysis model was generated through a partial least square-structural equation model (PLS-SEM) to examine and test the underlying relationship among the correspondent variables. The findings of this research reveal that value consciousness (encompassing price, healthiness and quality) influences the consumer attitude, which in turn has an impact on the buying intention towards residential property in Kolkata. Interestingly, results support that the perceived behavioural control and subjective norms constitute two determinants of the customer behaviour and his intention to buy a dwelling in the City of Joy. This study provides thus a considerable insight into the real estate buyer's behavioural pattern towards owning a residential property. It is also recommended that real-estate developers formulate effective and successful marketing strategies.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the significance of the relationship between information technology adoption and pharmacists' job satisfaction in the chain pharmacies in Amman, and found that the satisfaction of the pharmacists is statistically correlated to the ability of the organisation to utilise IT, and the impact of IT on business processes.
Abstract: This study aims to investigate the significance of the relationship between information technology adoption and the pharmacists' job satisfaction in the chain pharmacies in Amman. Data were collected from 73 pharmacists who work in Amman branches of one chain pharmacy in Jordan (Dawacom). The questionnaire is made of two parts: IT adoption and job satisfaction. Four dimensions represented IT technology: the ability of the organisation to utilise IT; the impact of IT on business processes; communication: e-business and social network; and IT knowledge and training. The results of this study show that the satisfaction of the pharmacists is statistically correlated to the ability of the organisation to utilise IT, and the impact of IT on business processes. However, the relationship between the other two dimensions and job satisfaction was found insignificant.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigate the technical architecture of blockchain technology and its application in cryptocurrencies and find out the sharia compliance of the cryptocurrency and online tokens like Bitcoin, which is considered controversial and declared haram by most of the scholars.
Abstract: The high return on cryptocurrency has not only attracted the Muslim investors but it has also provided an opportunity for the Muslim entrepreneurs to raise funds by issuing the online coin. Most of the scholars believe that blockchain technology is consistent with sharia requirements. Still, cryptocurrency is considered controversial and declared haram by most of the sharia scholars. Against such a backdrop, the present study tries to achieve two objectives. The first objective of this study is to investigate the technical architecture of blockchain technology and its application in cryptocurrencies. The second objective of the study is to find out the sharia compliance of the cryptocurrency and online tokens like Bitcoin.

TL;DR: In this paper , a survey of 170 start-ups was conducted in India to understand their expectations from the regulatory sandbox, which revealed that security, creditworthiness and compliance are the responsible factors for success of regulatory sandbox and FinTech startups in India.
Abstract: A recent global survey ranks India second in terms of FinTech adoption, with an adoption rate of 52%. It is reported that there are as many as 1,994 FinTech companies operating in India (Assocham Report, 2019), creating numerous jobs, investment appetite and business opportunities both for Indian and multinational companies. As the rules designed for traditional banking sector, may not be applicable for FinTech sector, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has come up with a framework for regulatory sandbox in August'2019. The objective of this research paper is to gauge the response of FinTech start-ups about regulatory sand box. A survey of 170 start-ups was conducted in India to understand their expectations from the regulatory sandbox. Analysis revealed that - security, creditworthiness and compliance are the responsible factors for success of regulatory sandbox and FinTech start-ups in India, leading to a great avenue of business and growth for both domestic and multinational companies in this nascent sector.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the impact of the factors such as governance board, gender and business strategies on the succession planning in family-owned businesses (FOBs) in Bangladesh.
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the factors such as governance board, gender and business strategies on the succession planning in family-owned businesses (FOBs) in Bangladesh. Moreover, the study also examines the moderating role of education on the relationship between the governance board, gender and business strategies on the succession planning in FOBs in Bangladesh. Data obtained from 287 participants were analysed using PLS-SEM to test the hypotheses. The results show that the governance board has a significant impact on the succession process in FOBs in Bangladesh. However, this study finds no impact of gender and business strategies on the succession process in the family-owned businesses in Bangladesh. Moreover, education plays a moderating role only on the relationship between the governance board and succession process in FOBs. Implications of the findings including research limitations and future directions have been discussed.
TL;DR: In this paper , the impact of micro-finance on the socio-economic and mental well-being of the tribal communities of India has been evaluated and the acceptance and positioning of MFIs in their society towards the conversation of livelihoods is the focal point for better tomorrow.
Abstract: Microcredit, the most famous form of microfinance institution's services, acts as a booster throughout the nation to correct up issues of livelihood transformation, economic regeneration and empowerment. So, to overcome the inequality and advocate further restructuring policies, periodical evaluation of the organisational offerings towards the backward clusters becomes absolutely necessary. India lives in villages. So, backward districts with primitive ethnic groups can be an ideal target to assess the impact of microcredit towards betterment. Considering 425 respondents from five backward districts of India, it has been observed that microcredit has a positive influence towards transformation of livelihood status through different dimensions of empowerment. It reflects the realistic information about the journey of changes in the living of selective ethnic section of the society exploring different aspects of economic and mental well-being. This study contributes to the existing literature by focusing on the tribal communities of India and their well-being. Along with that the acceptance and positioning of MFIs in their society towards the conversation of livelihoods should be the focal point for better tomorrow.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a systematic literature review that contextualises the continuing discussion on the impacts of digitalisation on leadership style and behaviour, and suggest that the next generation of leaders will need to develop strategic and conceptual thinking, will have to demonstrate high intellectual integrity and openness, but also find new ways to influence and generate loyalty among employees.
Abstract: Exploring the impact of digitalisation on leadership actions and behaviours is an important endeavour. This research took the form of a systematic literature review that contextualises the continuing discussion on the impacts of digitalisation on leadership style and behaviour. It aimed to establish how employees should be led in an increasingly digitalised business environment and to ascertain what skills and competencies are needed to succeed. This study suggests that the next generation of leaders will need to develop strategic and conceptual thinking, will have to demonstrate high intellectual integrity and openness, but also find new ways to influence and generate loyalty among employees. Given the dominance of digital technologies, leadership has become a process of social influence, which is enhanced through the use of advanced information technology and managerial innovation and leadership transformation. Nevertheless, the new capabilities of digital leaders do not displace traditional leadership traits and skills.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the current status of green finance in SAARC nations based on three vital components of Green finance, namely green financial instruments, green finance legislations and source of funds for green finance.
Abstract: The study explores the current status of green finance in SAARC nations based on three vital components of green finance, namely green financial instruments, green finance legislations and source of funds for green finance. The popularity of the components is also measured among the nations. Additionally, the study explores the nature of researches conducted on green finance pertaining to the SAARC nations. The results highlight that 'green banking' is the most popular green financial instrument, and 'Green Climate Fund' is the most popular source of funds among the SAARC nations. A green finance scorecard is developed using equal weighted scoring approach. India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan hold the top three positions in green finance scorecard. Ten articles on green finance relating to SAARC nations in 18 different search portals could be found. The study recommends the future possibilities of including new components of green finance in each of the SAARC nations.
TL;DR: In this article , an attempt is made to forecast the FDI inflow using ARIMA model for a period of ten years (2018-2028) using ACF and PACF plots.
Abstract: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) is a regional group of the fastest developing and growing economies in the world. BRICS as a group of the fastest growing economies that poses a threat to the economies of developed countries. Recent trend in foreign investment shows that FDI inflow is increasing in developing countries in comparison to developed countries. It is an opportunity for the policymakers of regional groups like BRICS to forecast the value of FDI inflow and provide the information to the foreign investors for potential of economic development and growth. In this study, an attempt is made to forecast the FDI inflow using ARIMA model. ACF and PACF plots are used to fix the parameter of ARIMA model (p, d, q). ARIMA (0, 1, 1) with drift is found to be the most suitable model for forecasting of FDI Inflow into BRICS for a period of ten years (2018-2028). Forecasted value of FDI inflow shows a positive and increasing trend during the forecasted period. Finding of study suggest increased trend of FDI inflow in BRICS.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated how PMO functions affect project teams' satisfaction and vice versa, and concluded that PMO function can help project teams to reduce tensions in the project's work climate, because they bring PMO personnel to the value-added chain of the project.
Abstract: The adoption of best practices in project management depends on the existence of an infrastructure for supporting project managers and teams. Companies have created project management offices (PMOs) for that purpose. This research presents an investigation carried out in the final stages of an action research for implementing a PMO to support a new product development (NPD) process in a high-tech company. The purpose was to investigate how PMO functions affect project teams' satisfaction and vice versa. We conducted interviews with project team members and triangulated data from them with direct observation and document analysis data. Results suggest that in NPD projects, 'logistic support' activities such as prototype-parts planning and control can help PMOs to reduce tensions in the project's work climate, because they bring PMO personnel to the value-added chain of the project. The outcomes also suggest, as a managerial implication, that structuring PMO functions by consulting project teams and trying to support their value-added chain delivers both project performance and team satisfaction.
TL;DR: In this article , the influence of organisational justice on economic and psychological wellbeing (PWB) of an employee has been investigated, and the authors have found that one of the factors which seems to affect the PWB in a larger way is organizational justice which has received little attention so far.
Abstract: Organisational justice is the perception of employees on the relationship between organisation's behaviour, decisions and actions, employee's behaviour and the attitude of employees at work. It is closely associated with the term fairness. Organisational justice comprises of three dimensions, namely, distributive, procedural and interactional justice. Organisational justice not only affects organisational performance, but also determines the economic and psychological wellbeing (PWB) of an employee. PWB refers to positive mental states, such as happiness or satisfaction. An individual's reactions to fairness in an organisation, is fundamental to human psychological and social interaction. Several researches have been made to understand the issue of fairness in the workplace and to investigate the factors affecting the PWB. However, one of the factors which seems to affect the PWB in a larger way is organisational justice which has received little attention so far. The current research aims to study the influence of organisational justice on employees' PWB.
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore factors that contribute towards entrepreneurial motivation in university students of Pakistan testing ethnic, minority and entrepreneurship theory and find that there exist 'psychological' and 'economic' and factors from family profile that influence the entrepreneurial motivation of university students in Punjab province of Pakistan.
Abstract: Objective of this research is to explore factors that contribute towards entrepreneurial motivation in university students of Pakistan testing ethnic, minority and entrepreneurship theory. Data of 533 respondents from HEC recognised universities in Pakistan has been collected and analysed for the purpose of our research. The results suggest that there exist 'psychological' and 'economic' and factors from family profile that influence the entrepreneurial motivation of university students in Punjab province of Pakistan confirming ethnic, minority and entrepreneurship theory. Over and above, there also that exits a group of psychological factors that partially mediate in our model. The theory needs to be tested in different industries and economic settings for further validations. The research has huge practical implication as it identifies 'psychological' and 'economic' factors that need to be focused to increase entrepreneurship culture in Pakistan. If focused, it will go a long way in dealing with the problems of unemployment by setting up new business enterprises.
