Factors influencing the decisions on employee health insurance plans include the total number of employees, insurance plan, employee age, risk factors, advertisement, and influence of healthcare mediators. The objective of the research is to identify the elements that influence the decision of Small and Medium Enterprises while opting for employee health insurance. A sample survey among 60 SMEs located in the Pune region was conducted to determine the perception of SMEs toward employee health insurance plans. The respondent SMEs belonged to various sectors such as Information Technology, manufacturing, consultancy, fintech, and healthcare. Statistical tests like Chi-square and Independent Sample T Test were conducted to obtain the results of the study. The decision to pick an employee health insurance plan is not influenced by the sector of SME. SMEs with a higher number of employees consider purchasing health insurance plans for employees. The conclusions were established that the decision to cover an employee's family members under an insurance plan is independent of the type of plan. SMEs consider employee health insurance vital as it provides additional benefits and helps employee retention. The study is apprehended to benefit health insurance companies in framing insurance policies for employees of SMEs. The study will also benefit in deciding the awareness schemes for health insurance plans.","PeriodicalId":103733,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Sustainable Islamic Business and Finance (SIBF)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115193902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 325 firm-year observations were provided by their annual reports from 2016 to 2020 and processed within the multiple linear regression statistical method. The study depicts those female CEOs positively affect tax avoidance. Female CEOs are highly likely to take advantage of regulatory loopholes to perform tax avoidance. Meanwhile, family firms with family control reduce tax avoidance practices. However, audit committee supervision does not possess a sufficient effect on tax avoidance, which indicates that the audit committee does not possess the capacity to oversee corporate tax management.","PeriodicalId":103733,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Sustainable Islamic Business and Finance (SIBF)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132027103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors conducted interviews of 100 professionals from manufacturing, FMCG and IT companies in India to understand the problem from the root level. The paper then proposes a model, i.e., the PAUSE model which aims at categorizing the broad topic of employee engagement into five distinct categories. These categories tell us about the various areas in which employees can feel a sense of detachment or disengagement towards the organization.

Digitisation and innovative technologies are creating unprecedented disruption in the banking sector. In the conundrum of technological advancements, E-banking has evolved into one of the most critical banking services that, when effectively implemented, may improve customer contentment while also providing banks with a competitive advantage. In this context, the study empirically evaluates the number and types of e-banking services used by customers of different banks and their satisfaction after using the technology-based services based on service quality dimensions like Ease/Convenience of use, reliability, security, responsiveness and personalisation. The study further examines the relationship between customer satisfaction, their behavioural intentions and change in their banking habits on using the e-banking services to gauge its impact on the banking industry. Primary data was collected from 200 respondents across PAN India using a structured questionnaire, explicitly targeting regions where e-banking services are not fully embraced. A random sampling technique was used to gather responses. Data interpretation was made using graphs and tables. Whereas data analysis was performed using statistical tools such as multiple regressions and univariate regressions to determine the impact of e-banking service delivery on the customers' satisfaction with banks. The study exhibited that service quality has a favourable influence on customer satisfaction and that there is a positive association between customer satisfaction and behavioural intention. On the contrary, given data constraints, the study could not empirically establish the relationship between customer satisfaction and banking habits. Thus, we conclude that the relative importance of service quality dimensions can help the banking industry focus on enhancing customer satisfaction and bringing desirable changes in customers' behaviour.","PeriodicalId":103733,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Sustainable Islamic Business and Finance (SIBF)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125838787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Panel data of the variable Renewable Energy Consumption, and financial development measured using banking sector indicators represented by Domestic credit to the private sector by banks (DC) and Bank's capital to assets ratio (BC), as well as capital market sector indicators represented by the Market capitalization of listed domestic companies (MC) and Stocks traded total value (ST), obtained from the World Bank. This study got two critical points conclusion based on the findings of the analysis utilizing the quantile regression model. First, for banking sector indicators, Domestic credit to the private sector by banks (DC) has a significantly positive effect on Renewable Energy Consumption. However, Bank's Capital to Assets Ratio (BC) has no impact on Renewable Energy Consumption. Second, in capital market sector indicators, the market capitalization of registered domestic companies (MC) variable has a negative and significant impact on Renewable Energy Consumption. While the Stocks Traded Total Value (ST) has a positive and significant impact on Renewable Energy Consumption (REC). This highlights that the financialization track needs to be strengthened, according to ASEAN-6 policymakers. In order to increase demand for renewable Energy, the banking industry and capital market must be able to support high-quality finance allocations that significantly influence productivity and economic growth. Citizens should also be aware of environmental issues and renewable energy benefits.","PeriodicalId":103733,"journal":{"name":"2022 International Conference on Sustainable Islamic Business and Finance (SIBF)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116030462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
