Niraj Gurprakash Plaha, Pooja Sharma — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The term Entrepreneurship refers to initiating, organizing, and managing an innovative business to make a profit while winning the financial threat. The concept of Sustainable entrepreneurship has attracted significant scholarly attention over the last decade which states that there is an opportunity for generating new products with new techniques which significantly reduce social and environmental impacts. The study outlines the following research challenges and areas for future study as well as provides bibliometric analyses for the topic of sustainable entrepreneurship. The data shows that throughout time, notably in the last two years, the quantity of publications published and citations has steadily increased. Bibliometric performance indicators can be used to identify the most productive and significant journals, countries, organizations, and individuals. The study makes an effort to identify the important publications in the field; the most often cited works, the top authors, and the top participating nations. The Scopus database is used to get the data. Country network maps and co-authorship network maps are produced using the VOS viewer program. This work advances our understanding of sustainable entrepreneurship and bibliometric methods, which will provide us with a far more complete and trustworthy picture of this field.

Malaysian Government-Linked Companies and Earnings Management: The Interaction Effects of Internal And External Governance Mechanisms

Wyei Leng Ma, Noor Adwa Sulaiman, Azlina Abdul Jalil — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

This study aims to explore the interaction effects of the audit committee (AC), the internal audit function (IAF), as well as the external auditors (EA) toward earnings management between government-linked companies (GLCs) in Malaysia. This study used regression analysis on 340 firm-year-based observations with Malaysian GLCs available on the Bursa Malaysia main board during the 2009 – 2018. This study found that the interaction between the AC and the IAF is significantly and negatively correlated with EM. However, the AC's interaction with the EA shows an insignificant relationship in reducing EM. Additionally, the interaction between EA and the IAF negatively affects EM. It is one of the first papers to explore the complementary impact of external and internal corporate governance functionality or mechanisms on EM.

The phenomenon of panic buying is essential to observe during the pandemic of COVID-19. Additionally, research on panic buying spans multiple studies fields and deserves more consistent scientific attention. This study examines the factors of panic buying behavior using the Theory of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to scrutinize panic buying behavior regarding consumer needs. Subsequently, this study investigates the moderating variables of government intervention to fill the research gap. Furthermore, this study looks for the effect that resulted from the phenomenon of panic buying behavior on customer satisfaction. The data were collected from 456 grocery and drug store consumers in Indonesia who shopped throughout the pandemic of COVID-19. The PLS-SEM was used to analyze the data. The outcomes indicate that control, social media, perceived severity, and perceived scarcity significantly affect panic buying behavior. In contrast, the government intervention only moderated the effect of social media on panic buying. Finally, the phenomenon of panic buying significantly affects customer satisfaction.

Hanifah Putri Elisa, Mahendra Fakhri, Mahir Pradana — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The peak of the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia occurred in 2020, causing a scarcity of health supplement products that significantly impact consumers' impulsive purchases and public safety. During this challenging period, it is crucial to understand the impact of scarcity on customers' impulsive purchases. However, little research has been done in Indonesia on the impact of health supplement scarcity on impulsive purchases. Based on scarcity and SOR theories, this research investigates the impact of scarcity of health supplement products on customers' impulsive purchases during pandemics in Indonesia. In short, the study identified the mechanisms of mediation (fear of missing out) and moderation (social media fake news) in the relationship between scarcity and impulsive purchasing. Ultimately, 170 valid data points were acquired using online surveys, and SmartPLS was used for data analysis. As the results showed that fear of missing out dominates the impact of the scarcity of impulsive purchases. The study provides more information about consumers' impulsive purchases given the scarcity of health supplement products in times of pandemics. Businesses and the Indonesian government can take steps to reduce the impact, hich might help keep the country safe throughout the pandemic.

Mohamad Yusuf Fahreza, Theresia Wira Harjanah — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The attention and interest in fun work have exponentially increased among practitioners and academic communities. This phenomenon replaced the old-fashioned view that created a rigid climate in the office. Many employees have adopted a fun work culture to improve employer branding and employee experiences and retain their talents. Using bibliometric techniques, this study aimed to capture the trend of research in fun work and identify research streams in fun work derived from the critical topic distributions of the fun work academic literature. We performed word co-occurrence analysis, author network analysis, and publication analysis. This study identified four streams in the science of fun work: activities to make work fun, a fun work environment system, positive effects of fun work, and support for fun work. The research trend and research streams in Fun Work provided insight for researchers to find potential issues to address in future research. They revealed the interactions as well as connections among researchers in fun work.
