The purpose of this research was to determine the impact of macroeconomic variables on the financial performance of commercial banks in Bangladesh. From the World Bank website, secondary data were gathered for the fiscal years 2010 through 2021. Correlation, multiple linear regression, factor analysis, and model selection criteria were utilized for this study. From the correlation analysis, it was observed that the inflation rate was significantly and positively correlated with the financial performance of commercial banks in Bangladesh. From the multiple linear regression analysis, it was seen that import, exchange rate, and inflation rates have a substantial impact on Bangladesh's commercial banks' financial performance. From the factor analysis, it was observed that GDP and imports are highly correlated with Bangladesh's commercial banks' financial performance. Based on the model selection criteria, it was discovered that the model including all variables is the best. The government, other researchers, bank managers, possible investors, financial experts, and anybody else involved in Bangladesh's banking sector should all take note of the findings.","PeriodicalId":476543,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of business and information studies","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140385735","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 sector is significantly contributing to the economy is still facing safety problems in Bangladesh. It examines the impact of safety practices on employee retention, with a focus on the moderating effect of safety training. Safety practices encompass fire safety, equipment, and machinery safety. A conceptual framework has been developed to measure workplace safety practices and then its impact on employee retention and has been drawn with the moderating effect of employee safety training. The target population comprised readymade garments (RMG) employees of Dhaka city specially employed in Savar, Gazipur, and Ashulia. Data from 230 Dhaka-based RMG employees were collected through a non-probability convenience sampling technique, employing 28 self-administered questionnaires. Based on the study findings, it was evident that there was a positive and significant connection between the fire safety practices and employee intention to stay scoring .464(r=.464**). In addition, the interaction adds a significant 11.9% to the explanatory power of Fire safety practices when safety training is added with it. The study further showed a correlation value between Safety Equipment and Employee Intention to stay which was .409 (r=.409**). Additionally, in the later phase, the interaction increases the capacity for explanation of the independent variables by a statistically significant 10.2% associated with R2 change (0.102). Another independent variable that was machinery safety was found to have a positively directed relationship with employee intention to stay with a correlation coefficient of .478 (r=478**). Later on, it was evident that the explanatory power of independent variables (main variables) changed significantly by 34.9% when machinery safety practices and safety training were included as a main variable.

Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the influence of digital marketing strategies on student enrollment decisions and to identify the most effective digital marketing strategy for driving student enrollment in tertiary education. This research utilized a descriptive quantitative research approach with a stratified random sampling technique and employed a modified survey questionnaire as the primary method of data collection. The data obtained from the survey questionnaire were analyzed and interpreted using a Four-point Likert scale, which measures interval data. The findings of the study revealed that utilizing “university webinar platforms” significantly influences student enrollment decisions in tertiary education. Moreover, it was also revealed that utilizing “social media presence and retargeting campaigns”, and “mobile-friendly website and educational apps” increases the awareness of students on the university programs and services being offered by learning institutions. As a result, these digital marketing strategies increase the students’ interest in university programs influencing significantly their enrollment decisions. It came to light that there is a statistically significant relationship between digital marketing strategies, namely, social media presence and retargeting campaigns (r=.963, p=.008), mobile-friendly website and educational apps (r=.821, p=.089), video content strategy (r=.820, p=.089), SEO-enhanced content on web pages (r=.810, p=.097), and university webinar platforms (r=.760, p=.136) on the student enrollment decisions in tertiary education.","PeriodicalId":476543,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of business and information studies","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136098953","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}

To combat ethical issues in the supply chain, vendors have created compliance regulatory standards. Suppliers must also monitor, enforce, and disclose compliance. Therefore, the global garment industry exerted pressure on suppliers from developing countries to implement a code of conduct (CoC) that emphasized social responsibility. The apparel industry has discovered that this Code of Conduct is a valuable instrument for monitoring the compliance activities of its suppliers. Compliance is essential to the prosperity of any RMG organization, according to studies. Studies indicate, however, that it fails in the apparel industry because purchasers may exert pressure on suppliers to prioritize cost savings over non-compliance. Also, demand places suppliers under unnecessary pressure. It cannot, therefore, be used in the fashion industry. Consequently, both positive and negative compliance studies inspired this study. This research is based on contingency theory. The findings of this study illuminate the significance of the connection between social compliance and labor instability in Bangladesh's RMG industry. This study also proposes that Bangladeshi textile companies should have normally utilized lean manufacturing techniques to increase output in accordance with new regulations, despite social compliance challenges. The data in this quantitative investigation were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Simple random sampling was used to acquire data from 384 employees using survey techniques.","PeriodicalId":476543,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of business and information studies","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136361263","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}
