The independent variable is non-current assets, proxied by the log of non-current assets, with two control variables (firm size and leverage), while the dependent variable is financial performance, proxied by return on assets (ROA). The ex-post facto research design made use of secondary data drawn from the annual reports and accounts of four (4) companies in the listed consumer goods sector of the Nigerian economy, covering a period of ten (10) years from 2010 to 2019, both years inclusive. The theories of this study were anchored in dynamic theory and organic theory. The E-Views version 9.0 software statistical package was used to run the panel ordinary least squares (OLS) for the study. The multiple regression model was applied to determine the extent of the effect of the independent variable (non-current assets) on the dependent variable (financial performance) of the companies under investigation. The regression result revealed that non-current assets (NCA) have a positive but insignificant effect on the return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended that management ensure that the amount spent on acquiring non-current assets for the company is monitored and controlled in order to increase their financial performance (profit).","PeriodicalId":333103,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Accounting, Finance and Management Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127545094","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 policy indicated the cruciality to explore the determinants of purchasing behavioral intention of consumers on eco-friendly products. This study thus aims to determine the relationship between the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) components and the purchasing behavioral intention for environmentally sustainable products. Limited literature on the influence of demographic factors towards purchasing intention, motivates this study to also examine the influence of moderating variables: gender, and level of education on TPB components and the purchasing behavioral intention of environmentally sustainable products. This study employs Pearson Correlation, and Hayes PROCESS analysis for quantitative analysis involving 390 respondents living in the District of Petaling. The study showed that all the components of TPB; attitude (P=0.000), subjective norm (P=0.000) and perceived behavioral control (P=0.000), appeared to have a significant relationship with the purchasing behavioral intention for environmentally sustainable products. For moderating effect, the study found that Gender indicated mixed results in which it influences attitude (P=0.0033) and subjective norm (P=0.0425) but not for perceived behavioral control (0.3070) while education level exhibited influence towards all the components of TPB and purchasing behavioral intention (P<0.05).","PeriodicalId":333103,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Accounting, Finance and Management Sciences","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115693044","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 variables are course organization/structure, learner interaction, student engagement, instructor presence, student satisfaction, and perceived learning. The respondents involved were undergraduates who went through Online Distance Learning (ODL) during the Movement Control Order due to COVID 19 pandemic. The findings of this study discovered that certain items and sections of the survey like “I learned less in the course than I anticipated” under Perceived Learning may not be relevant to UiTM students.
