A MODEL LINKING HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PRACTICES WITH EMPLOYEE’S COMMITMENT TO CORE VALUES OF AN ORGANISATION

Oginni Babalola Oluwayemi — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:14:56 +0000

The focus of the paper was on a model designed to explain the linkage between Human Resources Management practices and employee’s commitment to the core values of business organisation. The model place high premium on the business environment to be the major determinant in whatever happens in the business organisation. The values as well as beliefs and philosophies of founders must be congruent with business environment otherwise attainment of business objective will not be actualised. Similarly, the management of people in workplace through human resources management practices are contingent on human resources management policy which draws its strengths from business objectives and organisational policies. It is therefore evident from the model that where human resources management practices can herald positive perception and image, employees will be loyal and be willing to remain with the organisation over a long period of time thus ensuring commitment to core values of the organisation and the feedback framework is an avenue to evaluate the level of agreement between and among the business environment, employees’ expectations and focus of the organisation.

Xenophontas Passas, Roido Mitoula, Eleni Sardianou, Eleni Theodoropoulou — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:15:24 +0000

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the determinant factors of recycling and in particular of paper recycling. The research focuses on paper recycling behaviour on the part of the elderly in the Region of Attica. Primary research was based on the use of layered data. The survey data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to senior citizens in the municipalities of Egaleo and Chaidari. The questionnaire was given hand by hand in the region's Open Care Center for the Elderly (OCCE) during the period from November 2017 until February 2018 (11/2017 - 02/2018). The final sample of the survey amounted to 375 participants. Through multiple linear regressions, behaviour towards paper recycling seems to be affected by the intention to recycle, subjective patterns, perceived behavioural control, moral standards, educational level, monthly family income and monthly pension. Similarly, an increased intention to recycle paper is associated with higher values of the scale of recycling behaviour. Regarding the socio-demographic data of the participants, the participants who are graduates of post-secondary education show a lower score on the recycling behavior scale than the graduates of Primary school. Participants with a monthly family income of between € 800 and € 1500 have a lower score on the recycling behaviour scale than those with a monthly family income of less than € 800.

The Impact of the Euro Adoption on inside and outside Eurozone Trade

Ling-Yu Chen — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:15:48 +0000

This study focuses on the differential trade effect between the Euro countries and non-euro countries within the 28 European Union (EU) countries. The study period is from 1999 to 2015. We use the panel data models to assess the differential trade effects of these two groups of countries. Our results show that compared to the non-euro-adopting EU countries, the euro-adopting EU countries will export 17.4 % more to the Eurozone. Besides, the euro-adopting countries export 11.6 % more to the non-Eurozone countries than the non-euro adopting EU countries do. In addition, we find that compared to the non-euro adopting EU countries, the euro-adopting EU countries would have a more stable exports, regardless inside or outside Eurozone trade. Our conclusion is that compared to those EU countries not adopting the euro, the euro adopting countries could have more exports, especially the exports to the common currency adoption area. In addition, compared to those non-euro adoption countries, the euro adopting countries can have more stabilized exports inside Eurozone. However, the differential export stabilizing effects do not different from alternative export destinations.

Now that behavioral finance has demonstrated that investor behavior is (somewhat) predictable does that mean that arbitrage must make the biases in question disappear?

Greg Samsa — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:16:09 +0000

We consider whether or not the rationale for behavioral-finance-based stock investment is self-defeating. In other words, once predictable biases in behavior are identified, and everyone is aware of them, won’t investors anticipate the behavior in question, all try to move to the front of the queue at once, and thus arbitrage the phenomena in question out of existence? This question is addressed in the format of a conversation between a student and a mentor, and revolves around four quotations.

Taken literally, the discipline of behavioral finance argues that the arbitrage won’t occur because we’re too hardwired to do so. Even if we stipulate that behavioral finance is correct that investors exhibit various biases, that rationale seems implausible on its face. More plausible is an incentive for those large money managers, whose actions effectively set prices in the short-term, to behave in a way that undermines the expected arbitrage. We argue that this incentive is their emphasis on transitory phenomena (e.g., short-term corporate performance, short-term investment returns), which not only supports an entire industry but also induces herd-following behavior instead of arbitrage. These individuals are acting rationally, relative to their incentives, but those incentives are inconsistent with general economic logic, and so what results is local optimization but global sub-optimization.

Ultimately, we believe that a more likely explanation is that it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

Performance Comparison and Structure Adjustment of Insurance Business of Property Insurance Companies

Min Le — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:16:55 +0000

The insurance business structure directly affects the profitability and sustainable development of property insurance companies. It is more meaningful to study how to adjust the business structure to achieve better performance in the context of diversified insurance operation than to argue about the diversified operation and specialized operation.

The research compares the performance of insurance business lines based on rich data of three dimensions: insurance business lines, companies and time. The results indicate that motor insurance has a medium and low level of performance, while household property insurance has a high profitability and the performance is in good equilibrium and stability. Then this paper introduces a cost-volume-profit（C-V-P）model under uncertainty as quantitative decision-making tools for the adjustment of the business structure of property insurance companies. Uncertainty comes from the variable costs of property insurance companies.

The Intellectual Capital as a Measure of the Post-War Performance of Lebanese Banks

Anis El Khatib, Pierre Al-khoury — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 18:17:22 +0000

This is the first study to analyze the relationship between the Intellectual Capital (IC) and financial performance of the Lebanese Banking Sector. The study covers a 15 years period after the end of the Lebanese civil war, that is from 1990 to 2004.The consolidated financial statements of the all banks are analyzed. The Intellectual Capital performance of banks is measured through the value added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) methodology as developed by Pulic in 1998 and 2002. ROE and ROA are used as indicators for the financial performance of banks. Regression models are developed and ANOVA test is applied. The results showed that SCE, HCE, and CEE had a high significant explanatory power of the variations in the VAIC, with a dominating effect of the CEE. The results also showed a significant effect of the VAIC on performance as measured by ROA, and an insignificant effect on performance as measured by ROE. When the VAIC is divided into its components, it can be observed that the CEE has the most significant effect on banks performance measured by both ROA and ROE. Lebanese banks are encouraged to start using the IC and other performance measurement systems (PMS’s), and not limiting their work only to financial measures to judge performance.
