The research design used in this study is the survey research design. Reliability and validity of the data sources were established by the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the descriptive and Regression statistical technique. It was discovered that human resources had a major influence (Adj R2 = 0. 858, F (9.064)). The findings showed that financial performance benefited from the expense of human resource training. FP was significantly impacted by HRTC (β = 0.3.86, t = - 1.586, p< 0.05), and FP was significantly impacted by HRAC (β = 0.911, t = 4.143, p<0.05). According to the study, using acquisition costs for human resources has a favorable effect on an organization's financial performance. The management boards of the banks under examination are advised by the study to work toward implementing the policy of classifying human resource costs as assets. To guarantee that their employees have the technical know-how and understanding to perform their tasks more efficiently, banks must plan regular training sessions for their HR department. Since the organization's most significant asset is its human resources, the Central Bank of Nigeria ought to ensure that the funds allocated to them are appropriately declared and acknowledged as assets in bank annual reports. By doing this, the genuine financial performance of the institutions will be more accurately depicted.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141004693","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}

There were 259 respondents in six cosmetic industries in Davao del Norte who were chosen through stratified sampling. This study used two adapted questionnaires. Mean, Pearson r and standard deviation were used as statistical tools. The study involved analyzing data from respondents who provided ratings on various dimensions of product quality and brand loyalty indicators. The results revealed that product quality dimensions such as environmental friendliness, conformance, aesthetic, perceived quality, performance, reliability, serviceability, and durability were rated very highly by the respondents. However, features received a slightly lower rating compared to other dimensions. In terms of brand loyalty, indicators including variety-seeking, involvement, and resistance to situational factors received high ratings, while perceived brand differences received a comparatively lower rating. The analysis also showed a weak positive correlation (R-value=0.232 & P-value= 0.000) between product quality dimensions and brand loyalty, with a rejection of the null hypothesis, indicating a significant relationship. Overall, these findings suggest the importance of considering both product quality and brand loyalty dimensions in marketing strategies to enhance consumer satisfaction and loyalty.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"26 48","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141005624","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}

Based on China's provincial panel data from 2011-2021, an evaluation system is constructed from four dimensions: scale, efficiency, innovation and input, the entropy method is applied to measure the competitiveness indicators of China's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, and a benchmark regression is constructed through a two-way fixed-effects model, and heterogeneity test, robustness test and mediation test are conducted. It is found that environmental regulation has a significant positive effect on the competitiveness of China's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry, and there are differences in the impact on each region. In addition to direct empowerment, environmental regulation also enhances the competitiveness of pharmaceutical manufacturing industry through technological innovation, and its mediation effect is significant. Finally, based on the above findings, it is recommended that the intensity of environmental regulations and subsidies should be increased, differentiated environmental regulation policies should be formulated, and milder market interventions should be used to create a healthy and positive market environment, and the introduction of scientific and technological talents should be increased in order to enhance the scientific research strength of China's pharmaceutical manufacturing industry.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"67 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141031534","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}
