Abstract

Purpose

The study aims to explore the relationship between financial literacy and general life satisfaction. The study further investigates the mediating role of financial self-efficacy in this relationship in the context of Indian rural households.

Design/methodology/approach

Households belonging to the rural area of the Koraput district of Odisha were taken as the sample unit of this study. A structured questionnaire was framed to collect primary data using multi-stage and convenience sampling; 299 responses were received. Data analyses were performed using partial least square-structure equation modelling through SmartPLS 4.0.

Findings

The results of the study connoted that financial literacy has a noteworthy impact on the overall life satisfaction of households with lower incomes, both directly and indirectly. Moreover, the study identified financial self-efficacy as a significant complementary partial mediator in the relationship between financial literacy and overall satisfaction with life.

Practical implications

The findings of the study can be used by financial regulatory authorities and policymakers to seed the financial concepts’ understanding among the rural community to enhance their financial status and thereby overall satisfaction with life.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the exploration study of life satisfaction of rural households is yet to be discovered in the context of previous research frameworks despite rural households being an intricate part of the Indian economy. The study adds to the existing literature on life satisfaction, necessitating financial literacy expertise in rural households for achieving financial self-efficacy.

Abstract

Purpose

The paper aims to examine the gendered underpinnings of policework in India. In doing so, it contributes to discourses on gender, work and policing, by focusing on a particular facet of gender and policing in India, i.e. the various forms of work that women in policework undertake.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper brings together data drawn from an ethnographic study of two police stations in India and feminist literature on women’s work. The two police stations were located in states of Delhi and Kerala (one in each state), and the ethnography covered a span of 11 months (February to July 2019 in Kerala and July 2019 to January 2020 in Delhi).

Findings

We find that women’s work in the police stations is conditioned by gendered norms and gendered social relations that also significantly condition the unpaid work that they do, and these different forms of work overdetermine each other. In this context, increasing representation of women within the police force has to be accompanied by a re-imagination of the police as a civic service which is gender-neutral (but not gender-blind) as well as a recognition of women’s unpaid work.

Originality/value

This paper offers a unique lens through which everyday policing activities can be holistically understood. By foregrounding the interplay of gender relations and work relations in policework, the paper sheds light on facets of policing which have hitherto been unexplored by literature on policing and gender, especially in the Indian context.

Abstract

Purpose

While the literature on migration highlights the reshaping of host and immigrant population in countries, there is a paucity of research in marketing investigating the evolving dynamics for acculturation. The purpose of this study is to further the understanding of the emerging phenomenon of acculturation and identity negotiation.

Design/methodology/approach

Three experiments examined situational ethnicity, self-construal and identity negotiation in home and host culture work and social settings. Study 1 and Study 2 were conducted in the United Kingdom (UK), where the host country is the majority population. Study 3 was conducted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the host country is the minority population. Study 4 utilized qualitative interviews in both countries.

Findings

Results from all four studies show that ethnic consumers deploy “indifference” as an identity negotiation mechanism when the host society is the majority population (UK) and when the host society has the minority population (UAE).

Originality/value

The authors offer new insights into identity negotiation by ethnic consumers when the host society is the majority population as well as the minority population. “Indifference”, i.e. preferring to neither fit in nor stand out as an identity negotiation mechanism, is deployed in work and social settings of home and host societies. The authors also advance the existing literature on acculturation by examining whether independent and interdependent self-construal influence identity negotiation.
