Using the value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) approach for IC measurement, this paper employs various panel data estimation approaches, including fixed effects (FE) and the generalized method of moments (GMM), to examine the relationship between IC and the financial performance of SMEs in Vietnam.FindingsThe result suggests that the value creation activities of SMEs in Vietnam mainly occur on the basis of physical and financial capital. In other words, the findings indicate that Vietnamese SMEs mainly depend on physical and financial capital to profit: they have not fully utilized their human capital and structural capital, two main components of IC for value creation.Practical implicationsThe results underline the urgency of effective management of tangible and IC to boost the utilization of human and structural capital to increase the profitability of Vietnamese SMEs. The results lead to suggesting a series of policy recommendations to achieve the objective.Originality/valueThis paper is the first to examine the relationship between IC and the financial performance of SMEs in Vietnam, contributing to the literature on IC in emerging countries.","PeriodicalId":45401,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Administration","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48312138","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}

{"title":"The interplay of abusive supervision and coworker incivility on the turnover intention of frontliners: a mediation effect of work stress","authors":"Md Mostafizur Rahman","doi":"10.1108/apjba-11-2022-0500","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/apjba-11-2022-0500","url":null,"abstract":"PurposeDrawing on the conservation of resources theory, the present study aims to design and explore the influence of abusive supervision and coworker incivility on turnover intention among frontline employees (FLEs). Besides the mediating effects of work stress between abusive supervision and turnover intention, coworker incivility and turnover intention also be explored.Design/methodology/approachData from 311 FLEs are collected by a self-administered structured questionnaire and analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model.FindingsThe empirical results established that abusive supervision and coworker incivility significantly predicts work stress and work stress significantly predicts turnover intention. Abusive supervision significantly predicts a positive relationship with turnover intention, whereas coworker incivility with turnover intention is vis-à-vis. Besides, abusive supervision and coworker incivility significantly predict turnover intention via work stress. The study further illustrated the control variables, e.g. education, experience, and proactive personality of FLEs.Research limitations/implicationsThe study finds abusive supervision and coworker incivility as stressors in the emerging economy for FLEs. However, coworker incivility on turnover intention cannot predict as expected because the roles of the supervisor and coworker are different in this context.Practical implicationsThe continuous support of supervisors and coworkers can reduce the stress and consequences of reducing the intention of turnover of FLEs. The concerns can enhance their support by using respect and credit for work, maintaining privacy, providing proper feedback, being sensible to the performance, and entitlement to any achievement. They also suggest ensuring a work environment of privacy, fair treatment, importance to suggestions, and ascertaining punishment for any colleague's mistreatment.Social implicationsThe frontliners always contribute a large pie of output for any organization. Supervisors and coworkers impact the day-to-day life of FLEs.Originality/valueAs a study on FLEs in the context of evolving economy, the investigation fulfills the inconsistencies of the previous result with the mediating role of work stress with a strong theoretical base.","PeriodicalId":45401,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Administration","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48557950","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}

This study adopts a quantitative descriptive approach involving calculations based on financial data obtained to address the research objectives. The research is conducted at the Subang District Financial and Asset Management Agency (BKAD). Data collection relies on the documentation method. The data analysis technique used is quantitative descriptive, employing the following formulas: (1) Budget Growth, (2) Analysis of Revenue Budget Ratios: Degree of Decentralization, Local Financial Dependence, Local Financial Independence, Effectiveness and Efficiency of Local Own-source Revenue (PAD), Effectiveness and Efficiency of Local Taxes, (3) Analysis of Expenditure Alignment: Operating Expenditure to Total Expenditure, Capital Expenditure to Total Expenditure, Direct and Indirect Expenditure, (4) Expenditure Efficiency. The results indicate that the financial performance of Subang District Government during 2015-2017 can be considered excellent. This is evident through positive revenue growth, a high degree of decentralization with an average percentage of 100%, very low local financial dependence at 0%, and high local financial independence with a delegative relationship pattern of 100%. The average effectiveness of PAD is highly effective at 122.53%, while the average efficiency is very efficient at 4.01%. The average effectiveness of local taxes is highly effective at 115.48%, while the average efficiency is very efficient at 4.22%. The analysis of expenditure alignment shows that the average operating expenditure to total expenditure is 94.15%, and capital expenditure is 5.85%, indicating insufficient attention to regional development. The average direct expenditure is 74.24%, and indirect expenditure is 25.76%. The average expenditure efficiency is 81.89%. Based on this research, for future studies, it is recommended to include additional financial statements for analysis, such as the balance sheet and income statement. Furthermore, the Subang District Government is advised to maintain its current performance.","PeriodicalId":45401,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Administration","volume":"264 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76774409","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 follows a causal research design, with hypothesis testing as the main objective. The research sample consists of 47 respondents who are Aqua bottled water customers in Bandung, selected through purposive sampling with specific criteria. Quantitative statistics are used as the form of information in this study, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Data is collected through document analysis and questionnaires. The findings indicate a significant difference in the gender composition of Aqua customers in Bandung, with 89.4% being female and 10.6% male, suggesting the dominance of females as Aqua consumers in the city. Additionally, the majority of Aqua customers in Bandung fall within the 20-26 age range, indicating a prevalence of young customers among Aqua's clientele. Taste preferences, lifestyle, and hydration needs may influence this pattern. The study also reveals customers' perceptions of Aqua's packaging. Most customers view Aqua's packaging positively, which can benefit the company in building a strong brand image and enhancing customer loyalty. Water quality also proves to be a crucial factor in customers' decisions to choose Aqua as their bottled water brand.","PeriodicalId":45401,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Administration","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90045466","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 business landscape is highly competitive, requiring effective marketing strategies to achieve planned outcomes and gain a competitive edge in the market. Therefore, research on marketing mix strategies from an Islamic economic perspective is essential. In light of this background, business operators must consider marketing mix strategies that align with the principles of Islamic economics to compete effectively while adhering to Islamic principles.The research problem in this study is to examine the marketing mix strategy of Mama Mia Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) stall in facing business competition and assess whether the marketing mix strategy aligns with Shariah (Islamic law) principles. The objective is to identify the marketing strategies employed by Mama Mia Nasi Goreng stall and evaluate their conformity to Shariah business principles. Data for this research were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings of this study reveal that Mama Mia Nasi Goreng stall employs a marketing mix strategy, commonly known as the 4Ps (product, promotion, price, place). The stall emphasizes product quality, promotional activities, pricing, and location. The marketing strategy adopted by Mama Mia Nasi Goreng stall adheres to the principles of Islamic business, namely siddiq (honesty), amanah (trustworthiness), tabligh (communication), and fathonah (wisdom). However, the weaknesses observed in Mama Mia Nasi Goreng stall's implementation of its marketing strategy are a lack of consistency in promotional activities and limited parking space.","PeriodicalId":45401,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Journal of Business Administration","volume":"166 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80263957","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}
