It also sought to determine whether the efficacy of government health interventions to reduce child mortality and improve life expectancy in Africa's most populous country had been hampered by its institutional framework. The research analyzed the links among institutional, socioeconomic, and health variables using the autoregressive distributed lag estimator across a 37-year period (1984–2020). The findings show that short-term public health spending in Nigeria has a significant negative effect on health outcomes, whereas long-term spending has a significant positive effect. Although public health financing significantly impacted long-run life expectancy, its short-run impact is statistically insignificant. Moreover, public health financing is positively linked with lower infant mortality in the long run but directly associated with higher rates in the short run. It further discovered that weak institutional framework is responsible for low life expectancy and high infant mortality. Institutions exert an unconditional significant negative impact on short- and long-term health outcomes. Findings also show that both the short- and long-term net effects of government health financing and institutions on the health outcomes are negative and statistically significant. So, institutions and public health financing are substitutes, with institutions unable to adequately improve their role in the public finance–health outcomes relations. Furthermore, the thresholds at which short- and long-term institutional settings will modulate direct links between public finance and health outcomes are 5.01 and 2.62, respectively. Hence, the empirical findings validate the defective nature of the Nigerian institutional settings. Policy prescriptions for improving health outcomes are recommended based on the findings.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141980462","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}

Accordingly, the present study aims to investigate the factors affecting the CP of female army corps employed in developing countries. The fundamentals of the theory of gendered organizations are operationalized to develop the theoretical model and investigate whether institutional factors (IFC), sociocultural background (SCB), resource facilitation (RFC), and personal skill and competency (PSC) influence CP of female army corps. The primary data was collected from 352 females employed in the army corps and was analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The findings confirm that our conceptualized factors (IFC, SCB, RFC, and PSC) influence CP. Particularly, the results indicate a significant positive impact of IFC and PSC and an insignificant positive impact of SCB and RFC on the CP of female army corps. This empirical study contributes to developing gender and talent management strategies in the workplace by enhancing the CP of females.","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141966540","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 assesses the influence of several factors affecting the companies' commitment towards climate change mitigation, adaptation, and transparency (i.e. CDP Integrtaed Performance Score). Therefore, by analysing the determinants of climate change commitment, the research aims to provide evidence and further insights on companies' responsiveness to climate challenges. Data are collected from Bloomberg's ESG database, and multiple linear regression analysis is performed on a sample of 3000 European-listed companies responding to the carbon disclosure project (CDP) questionnaire. The results show that CDP Integrated Performance Score is associated with greenhouse gas emissions disclosure, Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) compliance, the presence of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee and women on board, the number of employees, board and firm size. By contrast, assurance and ROE are non-significant determinants for our sample. This study contributes to the existing research on climate change disclosure providing further insights on companies' climate change action. The findings are valuable for managers and regulators in promoting sustainability strategies and improving environmental performance and climate transparency.","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141782287","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}

We employ three proxies to measure tax avoidance or tax management within companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). The CG mechanisms under scrutiny encompass board size and independence, CEO duality, auditor type, common stock ratio of at least 5% to total stock, managers' common stock holdings about total stock, gender diversity, manager ownership value, board meeting frequency, CEO stock ownership percentage, institutional shareholders' stock holdings, audit committee membership, and financial specialization. This research investigates 192 companies listed on the TSE, utilizing data available on the TSE website from 2011 to 2021. Our findings indicate that while several CG mechanisms, such as board size and independence, audit firm size, gender diversity, institutional ownership, and the specialization of audit committee members, serve to reduce tax avoidance, CEO duality exacerbates it. Moreover, profitability, financial leverage, and capital significantly inhibit tax avoidance. In contrast, the return on assets (ROA), economic growth, and inflation have a pronounced positive association with tax avoidance. A notable constraint of this study lies in its exclusive focus on publicly listed firms, driven by the availability of relevant information. This study offers valuable insights into the three dimensions of tax avoidance and their interaction with CG mechanisms, with implications for performance monitoring.","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141624530","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}

Using social cognitive and conservation of resources theories, the present research was undertaken with a sample of 527 managerial executives employed by diverse Indian firms. Self-reporting questionnaires were distributed to respondents using the method of purposive sampling. To evaluate the structured model, a dominance analysis and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) were conducted. The analysis revealed that Psycap positively and significantly relates to OI. Moreover, the results suggest the relevance of organizational culture in fostering creativity within employees and thus facilitating OI accordingly. The result pinpoints that Psycap and organizational culture can enhance OI. Organizations can plan the necessary interventions that enhance Psycap and facilitate the creation of a healthy organizational culture, which can lead to OI. This study provides novel insights by revealing the overlooked roles of Psycap and organizational culture in managing OI.","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141607986","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}

Among the most representative results, it was found that institutional corruption has a highly significant and direct relationship with political attitudes from the perspective of university students (0.720. Sig.0.000). Nine out of ten dimensions of attitudes toward politics achieved highly significant correlations (p = 0.001) with attitudes toward corruption. Among the conclusions, it is observed that attitudes toward politics and attitudes toward corruption show a systematic interdependence of modification. It is necessary implement strategies for political participation without corruption is emphasized to improve the education that sustains the future governance of the country.","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/pa.2933","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141556573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
