A total of 169 respondents participated in the survey. The findings of the study indicated that a healthy work-life balance and a good work commitment have a significant positive relationship on employee's level of job satisfaction during remote working. Leadership does not have a significant influence on one's level of job satisfaction during remote working. Employees who report high levels of satisfaction in their jobs tend to be more dedicated and productive. The findings of this study can give a potential to make a significant contribution to previous investigations on the management and organisational behaviour of organisations when they wanted to apply work from home policy to their employees. As a direct consequence of this, it is much simpler to address conflicts in the organisation such as high employee turnover, unethical behaviour, low productivity, and excessive absenteeism. In addition, this study provides readers, future researchers, HR managers, and the government with information that can be helpful in gaining a better understanding of the factors in the workplace that can influence employee job satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":347485,"journal":{"name":"Advanced International Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship and SMEs","volume":"58 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114011240","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}

While professional accountants play a major role in the assurance market, other professionals also contribute to the overall proportions. Hence, this study endeavours to extend the literature on the type of assuror and the level of assurance by examining how they influence individual investment decision-making when they attempt to achieve the best environmental goals for their investment funds through the evaluation of environmental reporting assurance options.

This study found that forming a cashless society is a solution to efforts to grow the economy and speed of transactions in society. Another benefit is preventing corruption, levies, and fraud where electronic payments made on record have suppressed this crime.

Therefore, an application called MyGrocery is proposed that offers suggestions for items users frequently buy together and aids users in creating grocery lists. This might help them make a personalised grocery list with items that are suggested based on their past purchases. The aim is to help them keep track of what they have bought as well as to help them create personalised grocery lists. Market basket analysis is used to find associations between items in MyGrocery using past purchased history.

It also examines the effect of managerial efficiency on economic performance and the significant influence between the development index and economic performance. Micro enterprises contribute to economic development as they comprise the largest portion of the micro, small and medium enterprise sector and provide the biggest share of the country’s employment. However, micro-enterprises still face significant obstacles to growth. Using descriptive statistics, slack-based data envelopment analysis, bootstrap-bias corrected and accelerated regression, multivariate analysis, and hierarchical regression, the study found out that micro-enterprises usually practice opportunity perception, start-up skills, networking, cultural support, and high growth. Micro enterprises that showed strong development performance have managerial efficiency indicating no shortage in sales and their potential. Moreover, entrepreneurial activity stimulates attitude, aspiration, and monthly sales of micro-enterprises. It directly and highly affects sales because micro-enterprises always practice the pillars of technology absorption, opportunity start-up, competition, and human capital. This article illustrates a model suggesting that micro-enterprises should improve opportunity perception, start-up skills, risk acceptance, process innovation, high growth, and internationalization to improve sales. Furthermore, the study may provide tips for micro-enterprises in the Philippines and may be used as a basis for programs and policies to support their development.","PeriodicalId":347485,"journal":{"name":"Advanced International Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship and SMEs","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131872404","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}

Cultural differences are considered to be an additional reason for the brain drain of foreign multinational enterprises. A survey was conducted to collect responses from 202 millennial in selected foreign multinational corporations in China. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between human resource practice (HRPs) mediated by individualism/ collectivism (IC) and turnover intention (TI) by adopting the recognized and well-established social exchange theory, so as to provide new academic ideas for the Millennium employee management of multinational corporations in China. This study was utilized a cross-sectional study as a tools for data collection. For data analysis, this study implemented a Partial-Least Square (PLS) as tools of data analysis. The results highlight the mediating role of individualism/collectivism, reduce Millennium employee turnover intention. In addition, the results verify the negative effect of human resource practice on turnover intention. Therefore, it is important for the management of multinational enterprises in China to develop human resources practices that meet the cultural cognitive of Chinese employees. This study is the first to measure the mediating effect of individualism/collectivism, which defines the theoretical and practical significance and the direction of future research. In addition, more cultural factors will be added to the future research.","PeriodicalId":347485,"journal":{"name":"Advanced International Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship and SMEs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122466213","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 study focuses on Commercial Banks in Indonesia along January 2017 to April 2021. The study uses a descriptive analysis method of the banking industry in Indonesia with the variables tested including ROA, CAR, LDR, NPL, NIM and BOPO using VAR/VECM analysis. The results show that VECM modelling at the 2nd lag optimum is used at this analysis. Variables that significantly affect banking performance in the short and long run are CAR, LDR, NPL, NIM, BOPO and ROA at 1st lag, but at 2nd lag the LDR variable has no significant effect on ROA in the short run. The shock caused by the variables CAR, LDR, NPL, NIM, BOPO and ROA itself is responded by ROA through the Impulse Response Function and will be corrected to ease moving towards early equilibrium (conditions before the Covid-19 pandemic) within a period of time recovery between 5 months to 30 months. Even though the banking industry is contracting and inefficiency has occurred due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the resilience of the banking industry is still maintained and under control due to the implementation of various stimulus policies issued by the OJK to mitigate banking risks during the Covid-19 pandemic which has the potential issues to financial distress.","PeriodicalId":347485,"journal":{"name":"Advanced International Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship and SMEs","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122230105","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}
