Annual time series data obtained from the World Development Indicators (WDI), the Transparency International(TI),and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from 1970 to 2020 were used to conduct the study’s analysis. The study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to determine the interactive effects of corruption and institutional quality on economic performance. The study revealed that corruption-institutional quality interaction exerts a negative and significant impact on economic performance. This supports the assertion that institutional quality in Nigeria is feeble and overwhelmed by the magnitude of corruption and the level of individual influences. The trajectory of Nigeria’s economic performance is impeded by high level of corruption and weak institutional quality. Therefore, it is imperative for policy interventions to focus on tackling the incidence of corruption, improving institutional qualities which would have ripple positive effects on Nigeria’s economic performance.","PeriodicalId":150957,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114927262","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}

Zhang","doi":"10.32327/ijmess/11.2-3.2022.7","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32327/ijmess/11.2-3.2022.7","url":null,"abstract":"Customers’ voluntary behaviors (i.e., customer citizenship behaviors, CCBs) are of ever-increasing interest, given that they produce extraordinary value for service providers. Whether customer perceived support (CPS) from service providers leads to CCBs has remained largely understudied in service marketing literature. Moreover, the underlying mechanisms through which CPS can result in CCBs receives even less attention in previous studies. Thus, the purpose of this research is to examine the influence of CPS on target-based CCBs (customer- and firm-oriented CCBs), and the mediating roles of two important relational factors (customer-based brand reputation (CBR) and customer satisfaction (CS) in the relationship between CPS and CCBs in the context of after-sales service. Structural equation modeling using AMOS was employed to empirically test the hypotheses on survey data from 368 Chinese smartphone customers. The results showed that CPS positively influenced firm-oriented CCBs, while there was no direct link between CPS and customer-oriented CCBs. Furthermore, CBR and CS mediated the relationship between CPS and CCBs, respectively. This research contributed greater clarity and a better understanding of how CPS effectively boosts CBR and CS to encourage customers’ voluntary behaviors desired by service providers. al ., 2014), are defined as customers’ voluntary behaviors that go beyond the company’s expectations and are not necessary for customer value co- creation but increase the firm’s performance by producing extraordinary value (Groth, 2005). Empirical evidence has demonstrated that such customers’ voluntary behavior can be conducive to service organizations’ performance, value co creation, favorable relationships with customers, and effective performance of marketing strategies (Choi and Lotz, 2018). Despite the positive effects of CCBs, largely recognized by academicians and practitioners, research on its antecedents remains limited.","PeriodicalId":150957,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Economics and Social Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121368013","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}
