To understand this, we conducted a cross-sectional study. Rooted within positivist philosophy, we employed quantitative method. Data was collected via questionnaire from 252 individuals from software and IT sector employees of Pakistan. Sample adequacy tests were applied before conducting multi-variate analysis. Using SPSS, we ran regression analysis and process macro for moderation analysis. The Harman test is applied to enquire about any existence of common method biases. Findings indicate that shared and emergent leadership are the key drivers of agile team performance. When leadership functions as a team process, it instills a sense of collective identity, increasing engagement and yield enhanced levels of team performance. Moreover, trust did not moderate the relationship between leadership styles and team performance.

The research strategy was mainly exploratory and was based on qualitative research design. This was targeted that major stakeholders in child sexual abuse news, need to be consulted in order to shed light on the menace of child sexual abuse’s media reporting as this is being catastrophized due to misrepresentation of over- exaggerated aspects of abuse. Those professional reporters, news framers and news producers (15 from each category) who reported that they have been reporting on such matters in past five years or more were targeted as potential participants’ of current research. Interview protocol guide was employed in this regard. The findings revealed that sexual abuse news content stakeholders reported that they had limited skills, technical insight, personal emotional issues, emotional exhaustion and burnout, limited insight regarding experts in dealing sensitive matters and diffusion of responsibilities due to which such news content was handled by them inapt ways. They also reported as having individual, familial, contextual and cultural factors that caused them hurdles.

As a developing nation, Vietnam recognizes this importance and is adopting policies to integrate digital technology into its education system. This study investigates how teachers in Vietnam are prepared for digital transformation in education using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. An online survey involved 403 teachers across 22 Vietnamese provinces. Its purpose was to understand their readiness and perspectives on digital tech integration in education. The collected data underwent descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. The findings revealed that teachers in Vietnam demonstrated a moderate degree of readiness to integrate digital transformation into their teaching practices, along with a moderate level of acceptance of its implementation (mean = 3.67 and 3.65, respectively). The survey indicated teachers' positive views on digital education transformation (average rating: 3.28) and its user-friendliness (average rating: 3.42). Preparedness, usefulness perception, and ease of use affected 86.1% of teachers' digital transformation acceptance. As a result, it is possible to assume that Vietnamese teachers intend to implement digital transformation in their teaching. Based on the data gathered, the study concludes that targeted interventions and support are critical to assisting Vietnamese teachers in overcoming the challenges of digital transformation in education. Possible interventions encompass better tech access, enhanced training, fostering innovation in classrooms, and professional development. The study's insights can shape education policies and practices, and enrich literature on digital transformation in developing nations","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135486706","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}

It utilizes static and dynamic panel methods for testing the main hypothesis and for confirming robustness. This study finds that credit risk (Z-score, Non-performing loans), liquidity risk (Current ratio, Loan to deposit ratio) and corporate governance (Board size and CEO duality) significantly influence the performance of banks in Asian emerging economies. Banking management should maintain procedures for loan granting and timely repayment of loan instalments from consumers to control credit risk.

The findings demonstrated that participants in T1 trusted their information and made significant investment, while those in T2 did not trust and invest.

To explore how the Burmese borderlands, represented by Myawaddy, have been governed, the policy–regime approach is adopted as a conceptual framework to illustrate the idiosyncrasies, including relevant parties and their interactions. It was found that the following actors are involved in the security governance of borderlands: ethnic armed organisation, local bureaucratic agencies, Border Guard Forces (BGFs) and foreign interest groups. Prima facie, civil government agencies have performed their duties of overseeing border activities; however, they appear to have only de jure authority, serving as soft infrastructures for the lawful border economy. Contrarily, Karen BGF leaders, appointed by the Tatmadaw (i.e. Myanmar armed forces), have held de facto authority, controlling and benefiting from the border’s shadow economy—which is marked by gambling businesses—as well as from running protection rackets. Still, the BGF units in Myawaddy have retained a considerable degree of autonomy without necessarily following the Tatmadaw’s order. In a nutshell, border security governance in Myanmar’s Myawaddy consists of several governing modes existing in parallel and, hence, it is prismatic in nature","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135486381","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}
