Abstract

Purpose

Extant literature on knowledge sharing in higher education institutions (HEIs) concentrates on non-behavioral perspectives and indicates that academics continue to hoard knowledge despite being given incentives to bolster knowledge sharing behavior (KSB). This study aims to examine KSB among academics from a behavioral perspective through the lenses of the theory of planned behavior, perceived trust and organizational climate.

Design/methodology/approach

Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to 12 private universities using the drop-off/pick-up approach, resulting in 405 usable responses, which were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling.

Findings

Academics’ salient beliefs – that is, behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs and control beliefs – significantly influence their attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control (PBC). Attitude, subjective norms, PBC, perceived trust and organizational climate directly influence knowledge sharing intention (KSI), whereas attitude, KSI, subjective norms and PBC directly influence KSB. Noteworthily, KSI is a mediator in the relationships between attitude, subjective norms and PBC with KSB.

Originality/value

This study makes a seminal contribution through the novel conceptualization and theoretical generalizability of the theory of planned behavior by which HEIs can reinforce their competitiveness and global position by enhancing KSB among academics using a profound behavioral strategy.

Abstract

Purpose

Cryptocurrencies, which have been popular since 2009, raise concerns among investors, researchers and professionals. Amid global economic, financial and health crises, uncertainty has surged, leading investors to seek risk reduction and portfolio diversification. While some critique conventional fiat-based cryptocurrencies, others propose asset-backed alternatives. However, the impact of Shari’ah law-based cryptocurrencies on equity market returns remains largely unexplored in existing literature. This study aims to investigate the lead/lag relationship of selected Islamic and conventional cryptocurrencies from ASEAN and global perspectives.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors collected daily data of Bitcoin, Ethereum, X8X (Islamic cryptocurrency), Cardano (Islamic cryptocurrency), S&P500, Volatility Index, Economic Policy uncertainty and FTSE Asean Index (from the 4th of November 2019 to the 1st of July 2022) to reveal empirical results through Continuous Wavelet Transform and Correlation Heatmap with Dendrogram.

Findings

The findings indicate that Bitcoin offers a diversification opportunity for FTSE ASEAN investors for the long-term horizon while S&P500 investors will benefit from short-term investment. On the other hand, Ethereum provides better investment opportunities for both indices in the short run compared to long run. Cardano and X8X offer better investment opportunities in the long run for S&P500 and FTSE ASEAN investors. Interestingly, to check the robustness, the authors used correlation Heatmap based on Dendrogram which provided almost similar results.

Originality/value

This study contributes fresh insights to the existing literature concerning cryptocurrency due to the inconclusive findings of past studies, investors are curious to know the impact of cryptocurrency on stock market return from a global perspective which is extensively overlooked, and whether there is any difference between Islamic and conventional cryptocurrency. Therefore, by investigating the abovementioned timely demand issue, this study substantially contributes to the body of cryptocurrency literature.

Abstract

Purpose

Actions of incumbent politicians and firms’ managers during election years have been cited as sources of many problems that afflict economies and business entities. Given the controversies surrounding the impact of elections on firms’ soundness, this paper poses a question of whether banks should be averse to elections. Specifically, this study aims to investigate the impact of elections on the profitability and efficiency of banks.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the authors’ knowledge, this is maiden analysis in this context for Ghana where relatively advanced appropriate GMM technique has been used on annual data from 2012 to 2016.

Findings

This study reveals that banks make higher returns in election years. Additionally, the authors report that government’s economic policies in election years are detrimental to management efficiency, though insignificant.

Practical implications

From an emerging economy perspective, this study would guide policymakers in designing policies that respond to, or minimize, the impact of elections on bank performance. The result of this analysis would also substantiate the market reaction to the changes in the economic, political and financial conditions.

Originality/value

This analysis suggests that firms’ performances in an election year depend on policies and political institutions in place. The authors argue that Ghana, with its exemplary democratic credentials and strong institutions, living alongside a high perception of corruption, is different. The contribution to literature is, first, by limiting this work to the banking sector of Ghana and, second, by incorporating the behaviors of incumbent governments and individuals in the regression specification model.

Abstract

Purpose

This study examines the relationship between HR practices and millennial employee retention in the tourism industry in Bangladesh. It investigates the moderating role of the work environment in the relationship between HR practices and employee retention in the industry.

Design/methodology/approach

The researchers used non-probability judgemental sampling to collect 384 questionnaires through a survey of millennial employees. Partial least square-based structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data.

Findings

The results reveal that HR practices included in this paper have significant relationships with millennial employee retention in the tourism industry in Bangladesh, except employee participation in decision-making. In addition, the results show that the work environment only moderates the relationship between two HR practices (compensation, training and development) and millennial employee retention.

Practical implications

The results suggest that managers in tourism organisations must develop HR practices and foster a positive work environment to retain millennials.

Originality/value

This is the only study that examines the moderating role of the work environment on the relationship between five selected HR practices (training and development, job security, performance appraisal, employee participation, compensation) and millennial employee retention. Previous studies used fewer HR variables.

Abstract

Purpose

Economic hardship and crime is always a debatable issue in the political economy literature. Some authors define poverty leads to crime some are completely opposite. The purpose of this paper is to find out the impact of poverty on crime in the USA.

Design/methodology/approach

Using time series data of USA over the period from 1965 to 2016, this study applies autoregressive distributed lag approach to identify the effect of poverty on crime.

Findings

The outcomes confirm a positive co-integrating relationship between poverty and property crime. It can be argued that poverty ultimately leads property crime in long run in the USA. However, unemployment and GDP exhibit neither long-run nor short-run relationship with property crime and they are not cointegrated for the calculated period.

Research limitations/implications

The subject of this paper helps to explain and analyze the nexus between poverty and crime in the USA.

Practical implications

Government and policymakers should focus more on poverty rather than unemployment alone to control property crime.

Originality/value

This study attempts to identify the consequences of economic hardship and poverty on the crime in the advanced economy like USA.
