This study examines the relationship between green entrepreneurship and environmental quality in selected Asian economies. The impact of green entrepreneurship dimensions, i.e. renewable energy utilization, innovation orientation, green funding and resource efficiency is empirically assessed on environmental quality. The research assists in opening the “black box” mechanism of how green entrepreneurship affects the environmental pillar of sustainability.

An analysis of 11 Asian countries is conducted over the period from 2000 to 2019, using panel regression techniques to examine the link between green entrepreneurship dimensions and environmental quality indicators.

The findings reveal that all four dimensions of green entrepreneurship have an inverse relationship with carbon emissions and ecological footprint while showing a positive relationship with the load capacity factor. This implies that green entrepreneurship contributes positively to environmental sustainability by enhancing the ecosystem’s resilience and capacity to support life.

We advocate for policymakers to prioritize green entrepreneurship to stimulate innovation for energy transition and environmental sustainability. Furthermore, creating a conducive atmosphere for green entrepreneurs can spur job creation, economic growth and societal well-being, thus fostering a more resilient and sustainable future for all.

In this study, we adopted a multidimensional approach for measuring green entrepreneurship, which represents an advancement over existing literature that predominantly relied on renewable energy consumption to gauge the green entrepreneurship phenomenon at the macro level.

Research suggests that high employee engagement (EE) leads to high performance. The old notion of considering Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a mode of corporate philanthropy has now changed to use CSR as a strategic investment for the organization. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine how the key dimensions of CSR impact the different dimensions of EE in a sample of employees from selected manufacturing organizations of Delhi NCT region. Data were collected from a sample of 300 employees working at different levels from 15 selected manufacturing organizations of Delhi NCT region. The structural model and the measurement model developed to understand the relationship between three sub-dimensions of employee perception of CSR activities, and the dimensions of EE were examined using AMOS 21. The results supported the proposed hypothesis indicating that positive perception of the employees regarding the three dimensions of CSR, i.e. philanthropic activities, ethical and environmental aspects of the organization does lead to intellectual, social and affective engagement amongst employees. The study results suggest that the organizations should realign their processes to develop a positive perception in employees about its CSR activities to affect the dimensions of EE in a positive way. The study contributes by exploring the linkage between employee perception of the CSR dimensions and dimensions of EE. This study enriches the current literature in the area of EE by highlighting the role played by employee perception of CSR dimensions.

The study aims to study the extent of research done in luxury marketing in an emerging economy like India by conducting a bibliometric analysis. A period of 21 years has been considered to present a comprehensive picture for results and analysis. Key findings indicate the gaps and scope of further research for academics in India and abroad. The findings indicate a dearth of research by scholars and academicians in luxury, counterfeit and masstige, especially when there is a surge of the upper middle class in India. More specifically, Indian-grown luxury brands also present a massive scope for future research.

Kerala is considered to be the must-see locations in a life time of a tourist. Tourism has become an important vital cog in the economy of the state of Kerala. The state boasts of an excellent road and rail networks, lakes and natural canals and the backwaters. The study was done in the back water destinations – Alappuzha, Kollam, Kottayam and Kuttanad. The study was carried out to learn about the relationship between the brand name of the backwater tour operator, the offers they give and the selection of backwater destination post-COVID-19. This descriptive study was conducted through a survey method. The study used qualitative approach by using a questionnaire and the total sample composed of 400 respondents. Analysis was done with the help of chi-square. The researcher found that there exists a significant relation between offers in tour package and backwater destination, but there is no significant relation existing between brand name and selection of a backwater destination.

COVID entered the world in 2019 as a pandemic and the intensity of this health crisis is only increasing in several regions. Therefore, it is critical to study and detect the public's frame of mind, government and economists' perception regarding the COVID crisis, as well as the primary worries that the public has expressed, and how this evolves over time. Responsive measures towards COVID-19 from the Indian economy have been explored as a key objective. Moreover, efforts have been made to explore recovery in India through economists and policymakers. Data have been explored through online interviews of key economists which were published in leading newspapers and covered through media channels such as NDTV, CNBC, etc. Moreover, various newspapers and reports were explored to understand government initiatives to address COVID-19 in India. The study's findings show how essential economic recovery from the second wave is in India, and how it may be achieved by strong fiscal and monetary policies, as well as specific attention to impoverished households, small and micro-businesses and increased employment. The short-term focus of the developing economic strategy must be on giving crisis relief to the most unprotected segments of society since long-term system stimulation is impossible.

Organizations’ culture and environment create a remarkable influence on the minds of the employees. Employees spend a lot of time at the workplace; hence, it is essential to take care of their happiness. Stressful workplace environment reduces the job satisfaction of employees which eventually leads to mental health issues. The study focuses on mapping the publication trends on happiness of employees at their workplace over the years. The mapping was done with the help of Scopus and VOSviewer. The study takes into consideration the research publication on workplace happiness since 2013 from Scopus database using ‘Employee Happiness at Workplace’ which showed around 104 publications related to happiness till Sept 2022. The database was refined and further analyzed by VOSviewer version 1.6.16. Though much research has been done on employee happiness and lot many scales are developed on the happiness index, but bibliometric analysis is yet to be carried out on workplace happiness, it's development, forms and factors. This analysis will bridge the gap of researchers and provide them directions to carry on the research for future.
