Based on the literature review, the author states four qualitative propositions to link long-term business challenges with sustainable HRM goals. This article indicates that a much broader scholarly and professional outlook is required to conceptualize and practice sustainable HRM and solve business challenges in the long run. Since sustainable HRM literacy is very low in Nepal, this article attempts to elaborate on and explain the concepts. As this is a conceptual paper, it will be necessary to expand on and test the propositions in the future.","PeriodicalId":331142,"journal":{"name":"PYC Nepal Journal of Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133647243","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 present shopping trend has gradually shifted from grocery stores to shopping malls. The objective of the study was to measure the association and effect of advertising and the purpose of visits on purchasing behavior in the shopping malls among Nepalese consumers. The current research is descriptive and analytical. The participants in the study were from Kathmandu valley residents who frequently visited shopping malls. The sample size was 384. The convenience sampling technique was adopted to choose respondents. The survey questionnaire was used to collect primary data on a six-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, independent sample, t-test, correlation, and regression analysis. The study discovered that advertising has an association but does not significantly influence purchasing behavior in shopping malls. The study also found that the purpose of visits has an association with and influences purchasing behavior in the shopping mall. In addition, gender effect only on purpose to visit but not advertising and purchasing behaviour at the shopping mall. Future researchers can investigate other factors that influence purchasing decisions in the shopping mall.","PeriodicalId":331142,"journal":{"name":"PYC Nepal Journal of Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133247777","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}

Interbank transaction amount and Treasury bill rate are used as independent variables. Whereas, net liquidity, credit to core capital plus deposit (CCD) ratio, and exchange rate are used as the control variables. The study is based on time series data collected from the official website of Nepal Rastra Bank. Moreover, statistical tools such as correlation and time series regression have been applied to analyze the data. The empirical results indicated that repurchase agreement, liquidity, and exchange rate have a negative effect on the interbank rate whereas reverse repo agreement (R repo) and Treasury bill rate have a positive effect interbank rate. In addition, the study found that there is no significant impact of CCD on the interbank rate. In a nutshell, it can be concluded that repo and reverse repo, liquidity, treasury bill, and exchange rate are the important determinants of the weighted average interbank rate (WAIR).","PeriodicalId":331142,"journal":{"name":"PYC Nepal Journal of Management","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116920560","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 quantitative research approach was followed, and data were collected by an organized questionnaire survey. Three hundred and three responses, utilizing the convenience sampling technique, were gathered from the working representatives of two large telecommunication service provider companies in Nepal. The study observed 17 learning and growth performance parameters to evaluate the non-financial organizational performance model. The model yielded statistically noteworthy ratios at p ≤ 0.05 for all measured parameters and supported hypothesized paths. The usage of non-financial performance metrics is growing, and it is not typical to use them as the primary metric for evaluating organizational performance. Hence, future researchers are advised to incorporate non-financial and financial metrics into organizational performance assessment and management systems.","PeriodicalId":331142,"journal":{"name":"PYC Nepal Journal of Management","volume":"210 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131565176","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 order to fulfill this objective, numerous articles have been reviewed. The researchers compared and contrasted the findings of various articles to identify the common factors that contributed HR to becoming a strategic partner. The extensive review of the literature revealed that human resource planning and development are the most crucial factor for strategic partnership, while other factors do not contribute much to the strategic partnership. Regarding organizational effectiveness, most of the studies showed that HR departments that offer value by acting as a business partners are the most successful.","PeriodicalId":331142,"journal":{"name":"PYC Nepal Journal of Management","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122889657","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}
