{"title":"Birth Order and Executive Risk-Taking: A Study on CEO Behavioral Disposition","authors":"Yuchen Lin","doi":"10.5539/ibr.v16n11p11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v16n11p11","url":null,"abstract":"This paper explores the potential influence of chief executive officers’ (CEOs’) birth order on corporate decision-making. Drawing upon both theoretical frameworks and existing empirical studies, birth order considerably impacts individual personality attributes and risk aversion tendencies. Our analyses reveal a pronounced positive association between CEO’s birth order and their propensity for risk-taking. Specifically, CEOs born later in their familial succession are more inclined to risk-taking than their first-born counterparts, who are more conservative. These findings persist after controlling for CEO characteristics, year, and industry-specific factors. Moreover, further analyses were conducted to mitigate potential selection biases in companies choosing CEOs with specific risk preferences.","PeriodicalId":13861,"journal":{"name":"International journal of business research","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136262569","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}

{"title":"Banking Transparency, Financial Information and Liquidity Risk Management: Case of Saudi Banks","authors":"Adel Bogari","doi":"10.5539/ibr.v16n11p42","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v16n11p42","url":null,"abstract":"The article aims to assess the impact of banking transparency on liquidity risk. To do so, we first test the determinants of Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) as well as ensure the resilience of the Saudi banking system over the period from 2014 to 2021. Using System GMM with bank-specific and macroeconomic variables, results show that capital adequacy ratio, SIZE, GDP growth as well as past LCR levels significantly influence the LCR.  Secondly, we adopt the Panel Vector Auto Regression (PVAR) approach to assess the response of the LCR to various shocks. Impulse Response Functions (IRF) and variance decomposition demonstrate that the shocks to past LCR, AQ, CAR and GDP increase future liquidity risk. Thirdly, we prove that Saudi banks implement less than 50% of the transparency dimensions. They mainly disclose financial information and information on information credibility. Barely 18% of information on non-financial components of banking activity is made available to the public. Information on liquidity risk and on the timeliness of information is not available either in annual reports or on the bank's website. On average, the banks in the sample do not give importance to the publication of reports. These results may undermine the effectiveness of the guidelines of the Basel Committee agreements to reduce risk-taking by Saudi banks.","PeriodicalId":13861,"journal":{"name":"International journal of business research","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136262384","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}

{"title":"The Chance of FinTech to be a New General-Purpose Technology","authors":"Johannes Treu","doi":"10.5539/ibr.v16n11p22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v16n11p22","url":null,"abstract":"FinTech has often been spoken about in highly promising terms, deemed to have a profound and potentially revolutionary effect. This has led to speculation and intrigue about whether this innovative form of technology might have the capability to influence an entire economy significantly. More than that, some even contend that it carries the potential to alter societies dramatically through its direct impact on both existing economic frameworks and social structures. Thus, a vital question has risen to the forefront: could FinTech indeed be seen as a general-purpose technology? Following the initial inquiry, a second question emerges, delving deeper into the overall impact of FinTech. The focus is on understanding how it influences things at an aggregate level and as a potential general-purpose technology. How does it affect aggregate economic welfare? The paper conducts an in-depth analysis using two distinctly different definitions and characteristics of general-purpose technologies. By leveraging these definitions, the document provides valuable insights into how FinTech aligns with the attributes of a general-purpose technology, effectively showcasing that it can indeed be typified as such. Despite the growing body of research on FinTech, no study thus far has examined the implications or influence it has on welfare. At an aggregate level, the research findings indicate that FinTech influences supply curves positively. In turn, this results in a noticeable uptick in both consumer and producer surplus, bolstering overall welfare. The examination thus reveals how FinTech is indeed a reckoning force in modern economics, and potentially a game-changer. Thus, its significance as a general-purpose technology and the value it brings to aggregate economic welfare cannot be underestimated.","PeriodicalId":13861,"journal":{"name":"International journal of business research","volume":"28 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136262740","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}

{"title":"Challenging the Value of Authenticity: The Consumption of Counterfeit Luxury Goods in Morocco","authors":"Silvia Paschina","doi":"10.5539/ibr.v16n11p1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v16n11p1","url":null,"abstract":"Morocco, known for its rich cultural diversity, is witnessing a significant shift in consumer behavior, especially among its youth, who are demonstrating an increased interest in counterfeit luxury goods. This phenomenon, driven by a growing income gap and heightened digital accessibility, has attracted considerable academic attention. The present research delves into the concept of popular innovation and analyses the consumption dynamics of young adults in Morocco's souks, with a particular emphasis on the prevalence of boutiques selling counterfeit goods. Despite being fully aware of the products' inauthenticity, young consumers appear to be influenced by broader cultural and social forces. They strive to stay current with trends and establish their uniqueness through their consumption choices. To investigate attitudes towards brand authenticity and perceived value, as well as their interaction with digital technologies, a survey was conducted among a selected sample. This study aims to explore the consumption of counterfeit luxury goods among Moroccan university students, delving specifically into their attitudes toward brand authenticity and perceived value. A cross-sectional study design was adopted for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants.  The questionnaire consisted of two main parts, viz section A and section B. The first section consisted of sociodemographic characteristic questions such as gender, age, income, educational level, place of residence, and occupation. The remaining section encompassed questions and solicited responses concerning behaviors and knowledge of counterfeiting. Overall, there were 22 items in the questionnaire (6 items for section A and 16 items for section B). The data obtained from the study participants were cleaned and coded in Microsoft Excel running on Windows 13. The coded data were further imported into Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 2023 for statistical analysis. In conclusion, this research deepens our understanding of the evolving consumer landscape in Morocco, highlighting the appeal of counterfeit luxury goods among young adults. The study emphasizes the necessity of considering socio-cultural factors and digital influences when devising effective marketing strategies for this unique consumer segment.","PeriodicalId":13861,"journal":{"name":"International journal of business research","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136316814","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 results, obtained using the maximum likelihood method and the system generalized method of moments (system-GMM), show that the size of the board of directors, CEO-chairman role duality, ownership concentration and the presence of remuneration and nomination committees have a significant impact on the performance of banks in MENA countries. In addition, the empirical results revealed that bank size, credit risk, capitalization ratio, economic growth and the quality of the institutional environment are indeed explanatory factors of bank performance.

{"title":"Customer Incivility and Counterproductive Work Behaviors in Egyptian Healthcare Service: Does Workplace Social Support Buffer?","authors":"Soliman Atef Rakha, Sally Mohamed Amer","doi":"10.5539/ibr.v16n10p48","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5539/ibr.v16n10p48","url":null,"abstract":"Employees in the healthcare industry encounter a high volume of challenging and stressful events, particularly in light of global health disasters. Customer incivility is frequently occurring in the healthcare industry which severely depletes both psychological and physical resources. Anecdotal evidence suggests that customer incivility leads to counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). Based on the assumptions of the conservation of resources theory and stressor-strain framework, this study demonstrates empirically the impact of customer incivility on the two most common forms of CWB among Egyptian healthcare professionals. Moreover, this work sheds a spotlight on whether workplace social support (WSS) may buffer against the damaging consequences of customer incivility. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected from 343 professionals employed in public—government and parastatal—hospitals in Dakahlia Governorate in Egypt. The findings demonstrate that customer incivility increases both interpersonal-targeted and organizational-targeted CWB. However, the role of WSS as a protective mechanism against the adverse consequences of customer incivility remains contingent on the form of CWB.","PeriodicalId":13861,"journal":{"name":"International journal of business research","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135969459","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}
