Many employees in Indonesia choose to continue their studies for self-development. This is inseparable from the learning strategy chosen. Aims - This study aims to investigate the relationship between the three models of achievement goals, learning strategies, and self-efficacy beliefs. Methods - Correlation analysis for testing the relationship between variables in accordance with the study hypothesis was carried out after the questionnaire was declared valid and reliable. A SEM with a two-step approach was used to test the relationship model simultaneously. Sample - The study was conducted with 506 university working students participating in undergraduate programs in economics and business in Indonesia using a survey questionnaire. Results - The model that was found to be the most appropriate was self-efficacy beliefs, which mediated the relationship between achievement goals and learning strategies. The mastery approach was a dimension of achievement goals that consistently and positively influenced each other with deep learning strategies and self-efficacy beliefs. The beliefs also consistently and negatively influenced each other with surface learning strategies. Conclusions - The result indicated a consistent relationship and influence between mastery goals, deep learning strategies, as well as self-efficacy beliefs or between performance-avoidance goals, surface learning strategies, and self-efficacy beliefs. Implications - This study also strengthened the understanding that individuals with high self-efficacy beliefs have a goal to outperform their peers but are inconsistent in the selection of strategies.","PeriodicalId":180403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Business: Research and Practice","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125314593","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}

In the age of Industry 4.0, predictive maintenance represents an opportunity to reduce machines' downtime and enable companies to gain competitive advantages. For this purpose, sensors are installed in machines, and the data of individual parts is constantly monitored and evaluated. By detecting possible failure risks of individual parts at an early stage, they can be replaced before the downtime occurs, thus preventing a long downtime. A shorter downtime can bring further positive aspects in multiple terms. A lot is written in the literature about the general advantages of predictive maintenance, but there is no particular focus on the German midmarket sector. Aims: The aim of this paper is to find out how midsize companies perceive the processual benefits of predictive maintenance. Methods: A standardized questionnaire with four questions is developed. Sample: Answers from 104 respondents are evaluated. Results: The results show that a large proportion of the respondents expect added value. Conclusion and Implications: The research in this paper shows that the added value generated by predictive maintenance is not limited to multinational corporations but can also be realized in medium-sized companies.","PeriodicalId":180403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Business: Research and Practice","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126666733","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}

This study engages the use of big data to investigate exchange rate efficiency in Nigeria and further examine the role of investment sentiments. The study employs both the unit-root and variance ratio tests. Also, the granger causality test was employed to investigate the direction of causality. The data spanned 4,992 daily observations each for exchange rate and investment sentiments and cover the daily period 12/10/2001 – 5/13/2022. For further interrogation, quarterly and yearly data frequencies of these two variables were employed in order to explain the varieties of big data. With recourse to the effect of big data, results show that the exchange rate exhibits a random walk behaviour in Nigeria only for daily and quarterly data frequencies and not for the yearly data frequency. However, the causality test indicates that investors' speculations do not affect exchange rate dynamics in the country. As the exchange rate is found efficient in Nigeria, the monetary authority is enjoined to promote real-time information about the exchange rate to deflect undue speculations by investors. This study implies that the monetary authority in Nigeria should model exchange rate efficiency around its intrinsic data-generating process.","PeriodicalId":180403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Business: Research and Practice","volume":"543 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123105120","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}

Methods: The data were evaluated by application of the Generalized linear model. Sample: The primary data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire with 635 respondents. Results: The results showed that the perceived e-trust and the usage of social media (expressed through factors such as frequency of use and promotion on social media) influence the frequency of online shopping of these consumers. The research also revealed that males tend to shop online more than females. Conclusions: Social media usage, e-trust and promotion on social media proved as significant factors affecting the frequency of online shopping of young consumers. The factor of gender showed up significant too.

Aims: The aim of the paper is to quantify the outputs of the tax competition among European countries. Specifically, we focus on studying the International Tax Competitiveness Index (ITCI) in the European area and on assessing how this aspect is time dependent. First, we try to find out whether there is a statistically significant relationship in the overall ranking within the ITCI of the surveyed European countries in time. Besides that, we try to confirm whether if the country is at the forefront within the GDP per capita, this country will also be at the forefront of the ITCI. Sample: The research sample consists of 27 European countries, for which the overall ranking of the ITCI and GDP per capita (by purchasing power parity (PPP)) were available from 2014 to 2020. Methods: We use the Spearman correlation coefficient, Sign test, and Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Test to verify the hypotheses. Results: The results show that variations in the country's level of ITCI change only slowly over time, and it is hard to modify them significantly. Moreover, we present the ranking of European countries within ITCI in 2014-2020 and the ranking within the level of GDP per capita (by PPP). Conclusions: We can confirm the assumption that if the country is at the forefront of the ITCI, this country will be located at the forefront of the GDP per capita (by PPP) indicator.

Aims: This research aims to fill this gap by exploring major changes in consumer behavior that occurred during the pandemic. Methods: A nation-wide survey was conducted in Slovakia in 2022 to collect data. The sample file consisted of 347 consumers. Findings: The findings include information on how the consumers perceived the pandemic. The frequency of visiting shops drastically decreased, however, the majority of consumers stayed loyal to familiar brands of products. Older consumers were more likely to decrease the amount of products bought during a pandemic. Slovak consumers increased the use of delivery services, however less drastically than was expected based on a major increase in home office type of work.

Several factors have been discussed in the prior literature that would prompt them to make impulsive purchases. However, a lack of attention has been given by researchers to how social and environmental factors would differ between males and females. Aim: The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether environmental and social factors are associated with impulse buying in both males and females. Methods and Sample: The study was conducted in five premium outlets in Malaysia with a total of 390 respondents. Using t-test and Pearson correlation, this study explored the different patterns of impulse buying behaviour between males and females. Results: This study revealed that environmental factors were associated with impulse buying among female tourists. At the same time, word of mouth (WOM) emerged as having a significant relationship with impulse buying among male tourists. Conclusion, Implication: Given these findings, this study may have several implications. The retailers could design an encouraging environment to encourage both genders to purchase impulsively. Additionally, having a good reputation plays an important role in encouraging consumers or tourists to spread positive word of mouth. Limitation: This study has limitations in certain aspects where it only covers the aspect of gender but not age. Thus, this study suggests future research can measure the age aspect to obtain an interesting result.","PeriodicalId":180403,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management and Business: Research and Practice","volume":"417 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116138096","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}
