Archives of Business Research https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/ABR <p><strong>Archives of Business Research </strong><strong>(ISSN 2054-7404)</strong> is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by the Services for Science and Education, United Kingdom. This journal is published online <strong>monthly</strong> to keep readers up to date with the latest developments.</p> <p>The <strong>Archives of Business Research (ABR)</strong> applies theory developed from <strong>business research</strong> to actual <strong>business</strong> situations. Recognizing the intricate relationships between the many areas of <strong>business activity</strong>, <em>ABR</em> examines a wide variety of business <strong>decisions</strong>, <strong>processes</strong> and <strong>activities</strong> within the actual business setting.</p> <p>Theoretical and empirical advances in buyer behaviour, finance, organizational theory and behaviour, marketing, risk and insurance and international business are evaluated on a regular basis. Published for executives, researchers and scholars alike, the Journal aids the application of empirical research to practical situations and theoretical findings to the reality of the business world.</p> <p>The scopes of the journal include, but are not limited to, the following topics: business, marketing, management, finance, economics, accounting. It provides an academic platform for professionals and researchers to contribute innovative work in the field.</p> en-US abr@scholarpublishing.org (Thomas Harvey) abr@scholarpublishing.org (Olivia Adam) Wed, 03 Jul 2024 15:45:45 +0100 OJS 3.2.1.4 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 Impact of Motivation Determinants on Innovative Social Project Management Performance:The Role of Power Skills https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/ABR/article/view/17213 <p>This research was carried out to study the impact of autonomy, feedback, and task interest and job emotion on the innovative social project management performance. Based on a quantitative study conducted with 80 managers of innovative social projects, the present study attempts to identify the impact of intrinsic motivation determinants witch are considered power skills on innovative social project management performance. Descriptive analysis, principal component analysis, regression analysis and structural equations were used to classify, categorize and measure the impact between variables. Results were analyzed using SPSS.25 and Smart PLS 3. The results concluded that the all-path coefficient showed positive values ​​of the three motivation determinants witch are components of power skills (autonomy, feedback and professional emotions) supported the impact directions as postulated in the hypotheses. Except Task interest did not have a significant direct impact on project performance (ß =0,091; P=0,164) and on job emotion (ß =0,151; P=0,092).</p> Habiba Abou-hafs, Houriya Afras, Tatouti Rachid Copyright (c) 2024 Habiba Abou-hafs, Houriya Afras, Tatouti Rachid http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/ABR/article/view/17213 Sun, 07 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0100 Future Potential of Bio Polymeric Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization and Their Promising Applications https://journals.scholarpublishing.org/index.php/ABR/article/view/17081 <p>The bio polymeric nanoparticles are a group of nanoparticles that are constructed from natural polymers found in biological species. Examples include proteins (e.g.; collagen, gelatine, zein &amp; albumin), cationic polypeptides (e.g.; polyimide), protein mimicking polypeptides (e.g.; polypeptide like molecules) and polysaccharides (e.g. hyaluronic acid, chitosan &amp; starch). These nanoparticles are being developed right now to address issues with toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Many industries employ both metallic nanoparticles (NPs) and bio polymeric nanoparticles (BPNPs), however BPNPs are safer and better for the environment. Currently, BPNPs are being used extensively in the chemical, biological, food, and diagnostic equipment industries as well as the household. They have attracted great attention because of their multiple applications in biomedicine. The nanoparticles synthesis methods such as emulsification, desolvation, coacervation, and electrospray drying are discussed. Characterization techniques includes dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, the fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. Applications in the areas of packaging, water purification, food industry and medicine are described, along with a positive future outlook.</p> M.
