Name : Credit Risk Management and Bank Performance: Analyzing Aftermath through Case Study Approach
Author : Dr. Shweta Gupta , Dr. Monty Kanodia
Abstract :
The stability and growth of a bank depend on the efficient management of credit risk associated with its operations. In this study, credit risk management has been examined to determine whether Indian banks perform better economically as a result of managing their credit through the case study approach. In this instance, liabilities and NPAs represent independent variables with respect to credit risk management while ROA has been taken into account when considering the dependent variable, for which the impact has been determined through correlation and regression analysis. The observations of the results indicate that credit risk management has a significant bearing on bank performance when represented by liabilities but not in the case of NPA. It has been recommended to monitor and control risks associated with granting credit by the banks, so that the smooth functioning of banks would not be hampered and their long-term stability, profitability and growth can be ensured.

Author : Arif Nasser Alotaibi
Abstract :
Social capital forms the most valuable asset in an organization, as it contributes to the development of the organization's human and intellectual capital. This research explores how social capital can be enhanced by job design. It investigates the impact of contact characteristics of job design—frequency of contact, duration of contact, and physical proximity—on social capital. The data were collected from 203 participants working in four bottled water factories operating in Saudi Arabia. The results indicate that frequency and duration of contact have a significant impact on social capital. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence about the impact of relational characteristics of job design on social relations in the workplace.

Name : Evaluating the Role of Sustainable Economic Growth on Environmental Sustainability: Fresh insights from ARDL Approach
Author : Muhammad Mohsin,Mad Nasir Shamsudin
Abstract :
Globalization has facilitated the development of contemporary economies and connected individuals worldwide, among other technological advancements and resource development. It is simple to overlook how rapidly industrialization and economic growth have affected biodiversity due to globalization. Unquestionably, globalization has contributed to the destruction of our world, from pollution to climate change and global warming. To verify the associations between the variables, a linear ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) technique was applied. Results indicate that GDP and CO2 emission are related to each other in the long run, whereas the confirmation of EKC is also strongly confirmed with the sign of GDP2. Energy use and urban population are positively significant at a 1% confidence level.

Name : Exploring Influencing factors of Intention to Purchase- A Study in context of online Consumer-Generated Advertising (CGA) in C2C marketplace
Author : Bidisha Roy,Dr. Sitanath Mazumdar
Abstract :
Consumer-Generated Advertising (CGA) on digital platforms, including as blogs, videos, social media, hashtags, tweets, and retweets, has become increasingly popular in recent years as a result of the considerable rise in smartphone usage. Readers are engaged by a potent online marketing approach with efficient online CGA. The amount of research being done on the whole scope of Purchase Intention Influencers in the context of Online CGAon C2C Sites is growing daily. In the literature on marketing and consumer interaction, many structures for defining intention to purchase goods and services that are influenced by online CGA are disclosed. The current study examines the elements that influence customers' willingness to make purchases as a result of CGAon C2C platforms. An in-depth qualitative analysis was conducted. The current study concludes that the key variables influencing purchase intention are the consumer's internet experience, perceived enjoyment, usefulness, ease of use, trustworthiness, attitude, social influence from friends, family, and experts, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control. This conclusion is based on a literature review and qualitative investigation. The results of this study suggest that while developing marketing techniques to sway consumers' purchase intentions, more attention should be paid to the aforementioned aspects.

Name : Crowdsourcing and Creativity in Firms: The Mediating Role of Organizational Learning
Author : Divya Mishra ,Dr. Nidhi Maheshwari
Abstract :
Crowdsourcing within an organization represents a novel area of research, focused on exploring how crowdsourcing can contribute to the strategic rejuvenation of a company. This study seeks to empirically investigate how crowdsourcing affects organizational learning and creativity, and it aims to determine whether organizational learning plays a mediating role in the connection between crowdsourcing and creativity. To conduct this research, a quantitative approach was employed using SPSS and the PROCESS macro, version 4.0. A survey, which was self-administered, was utilized to collect data from 300 IT firm managers in India. The findings indicate that crowdsourcing has a significant impact on both organizational learning and creativity. Additionally, the results demonstrate that organizational learning significantly influences creativity. Furthermore, organizational learning is shown to partially mediate the relationship between crowdsourcing and creativity, highlighting how crowdsourcing can enhance creativity through the mechanism of organizational learning.

Name : Non-Linear Financial Intelligence Mixed-Integer Framework for Strategic Planning in Cost Management
Author : Abdulrhman Alkhanifer,Ahmad Mohammed Alamri
Abstract :
Presently, a survey reflects on research issues involving the complexity of the strategic planning, cognitive tests of policy planners, and computerized support for planning approaches that use artificial intelligence techniques. A non-linear financial intelligence mixedinteger framework (NFIMF) is proposed to support strategic management decisions in IT-based business. Furthermore, Counter interpretation of financial performance improvements with a lower cost has been developedin this research. Consequently, a model-based method for analyzing these early phases using artificial intelligence helps create a strategic decision to analyze unstructured behavior. This paper is intended to establish a better measuring structure and an effective strategic cost management evaluation system. There aretwo main parts of the article: to find a way of accurately measuring strategic costs and then to use it more closely. The numerical findings show that the proposed NFIMF method achieves high Firms' performance ratio of 98.9%, prediction ratio of 97.4%, an efficiency ratio of 96.2%, values, and a firm's profitability ratio of 95.6% and cost reduction ratio of 10.1% when compared to other existing approaches.

Name : A Comprehensive Review of the Influence of Emotional Intelligence and Self-Esteem on Social Adaptation in Adults
Author : Dimple Sharma , Junaid Hushain
Abstract :
This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the body of knowledge to determine how emotional intelligence (EI) and self-esteem (SE) affect an individual's social adjustment during adulthood. We explore relevant research to understand how these factors impact one's ability to handle social settings effectively. Together, these studies provide compelling evidence that individuals with a more significant level of emotional Intelligence (EI) and good self-esteem (SE) should react to stressful situations more adaptable than individuals with lower EI and negative SE, including reducing reactivity (less psychological deterioration, less physiological arousal), and recovering from stressful situations more quickly as considered. Even though the fundamental mechanisms through which emotional intelligence and self-esteem are related to those outcomes remain largely unknown. This study identifies important areas that still require attention and offers detailed guidelines for designing, implementing, and evaluating future treatments that promote emotional intelligence and self-esteem, leading to better adult social adaptability.
