This study is about to measure the impact of green supply chain practices and environmental management systems on corporate performances and green supply chain management. This study is based on a quantitative technique. Data from 553 respondents were collected. The results support the majority of hypotheses and prove that GSCMP has a positive impact on CP and EMS has a positive impact on GSCM. This study helps managers to consider how to develop the environmental capability to improve the environment. This study addresses a gap in the existing literature that few studies have explored on implementing EMS.","PeriodicalId":388480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Value and Administrative Insight","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133959306","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}

As Malaysia is an open economy with high exchange rate fluctuations, this study test different corporate hedging theories in the Malaysian context and investigated factors that can better explain the use of foreign currency derivatives. We found weak evidence for underinvestment theories as well as ‘Risk Management Committee’, but strong evidence for financial distress theories. We also find support for size and market-openness hypothesis but weak support for the liquidity hypothesis. However, in the robustness test, all proxies of underinvestment theory and Risk Management Committee is found to be significant when the model is run after excluding SIZE variable. Finally, our results run counter to the conjecture that high exchange rate exposure firms are more inclined towards derivative usage.","PeriodicalId":388480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Value and Administrative Insight","volume":"203 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121455000","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 total number of social media users in Pakistan has crossed 35 million, which is 16% of the population. This research focuses on empirically testing a theoretical model having social networking, community engagement, and brand use as main antecedents impacting brand loyalty with brand trust as mediator. This research used a comprehensive model of brand loyalty for the development of social media strategy to influence consumer's brand perceptions along with brand trust. The population of the study consists of those 500 consumers belonging from public sector platforms who use social media channels to purchase the products. Moreover, a non-probability convenience sampling technique is applied to gather the data via the electronic survey method. Furthermore, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique, Reliability analysis, Confirmatory factor analysis techniques are applied to test the proposed hypothesis as proposed by Heir et al., (2013). The results show a significantly affirmative and direct effect of social networking on consumer brand loyalty. Community Engagement and Brand usage also substantially affects consumer loyalty with the mediating role of brand trust. The findings validate a significant role of community engagement and social networking in developing brand loyalty. Thus, the research findings are expected to be helpful for marketing firms in managing their social media communication tools.","PeriodicalId":388480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Value and Administrative Insight","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127782677","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 results show positive substitution between labor-energy and capital-energy which means improved skills and knowhow could result in energy conservation. Moreover, substitution of oil by gas in Pakistan will be highly encouraging as such substitution will address the issue of heavy import bill.","PeriodicalId":388480,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Value and Administrative Insight","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133568253","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}
