The paper also aims to identify the differences between the levels of job satisfaction of teachers according to gender, level of education, type of school, work experience, and the level at which teachers teach. A descriptive-research method was selected for the realization of the work from the quantitative approach. The questionnaire was completed by 217 teachers who teach in public and private schools. The findings of this paper show us that the teachers have a mean on the border of the mean level of satisfaction and a high level of job satisfaction. Female teachers have higher levels of job satisfaction compared to male teachers, also teachers who teach in private schools have been found to be more satisfied at work than public school teachers. In addition, teachers who have up to ten years of work experience have higher levels of satisfaction in their work compared to teachers who have more years of experience. On the other hand, teachers who teach at the preschool and primary levels are more satisfied with their work than the teachers who teach at the higher levels. Meanwhile, no significant difference was found in the level of job satisfaction between teachers who have completed the bachelor’s level of education, and those who have completed the master’s level of education","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133755261","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 this study, direct interviews were conducted with the managers of 10 family businesses who have no family ties with the founders of the business. The study was conducted with qualitative methods with the model of the case study, where the program MAXQDA 2020 was used for data analysis, which created codes and categories from the results of interviews. From the results of this study, it is understood that nepotism as a phenomenon is widespread in these enterprises.

The primary aim of this study is to examine crisis management among the commercial banks, during the COVID-19 pandemic and to conduct an empirical examination of the relationship between strategic flexibility and crisis management. The study data was gathered using a questionnaire survey, which was distributed to 242 Jordanian commercial bank branches managers. Out of the total (242) distributed questionnaire copies, 163 were returned and considered valid for analysis. Accordingly, data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 22 and the findings indicated that strategic flexibility significantly affected crisis management dimensions, namely prior to the crisis stage/crisis plans and during the crisis stage/crisis response. The statistical results supported statistically significant differences between each pair in light of experience level and education level of managers, in a manner that differences favored the highest experience category of over 10 years and the highest category of education of Ph.D. On the basis of the results, it is recommended that Jordanian commercial banks focus on strategic flexibility when planning their strategies in order to mitigate influences on crisis management","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115533182","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}

Green accounting, an important tool to assess the environmental impact on the economy, is considered a transition towards green and sustainable economic development (Gray, 1992). This study is conducted to assess the impact of all factors on the application of green accounting in Vietnamese construction firms, of which data is collected from 243 survey questionnaires of managers and accountants of Vietnamese construction firms. By using Cronbach’s alpha test, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) test, and multiple regression analysis to check and forecast information, there are five determinants affecting the application of green accounting in Vietnamese construction firms as staff levels and resources, legal and regulatory systems, customer demands, legal and educational systems, stakeholder, managers’ perceptions, internal resources. Based on the findings, some suggestions are proposed to management businesses and agencies to compensate for the shortcomings in the process of applying green accounting, contributing to making green accounting one of the most effective tools.

The corporations’ primary goal is to excel, prosper, and expand financially is no longer suitable for the community. Unfortunately, the need for financial prosperity leads to hazardous workplaces, chemical exposure, and urban decay. Therefore, companies now view internal and external corporate responsibility as a critical business strategy for sustainable management. Thus, examining the impact of firm life cycle stages on business activities, notably sustainability programs and CSR investments, can shed light on a company’s CSR initiatives and sustainability choices. This study uses 420 firm-year data samples from 2013 till 2018 in examining the association between CSR proxied by corporate sustainability performance (CSP) index and firm life cycle for firms listed in the S&P/EGX ESG index. A thorough search of the relevant literature shows that this is the first study to demonstrate this association in Egypt empirically. Our findings show a significant relationship between CSP and firm life cycle stages. The results also show that the firm life cycle has greater explanatory power for CSP levels than previously thought.
