    Factors Influencing Consumer Buying Behavior Of Locally Manufactured Products In Nigeria: The Mediating Role Of Consumer Ethnocentrism
    (2025-08)
    Abubakar, Zubairu
    The Nigerian consumer’s preference to purchase foreign products has posed a threat to the country’s economy. Numerous works of Nigerian literature and national dailies have reported the problem with its attendant consequences. The most worrying of these cases is its negative effects on economy which include currency depreciation, inflation, and unemployment. Therefore, it is pertinent to understand the buying behaviour of Nigerian consumers. With the support of Engel, Blackwell & Miniard (EBM) Model and Stimulus Organism Response (SOR) Theory, this study examines the factors influencing buying behaviour of local made product in Nigeria: the mediating role of consumer ethnocentrism. In this regard, the study has investigated the effects of cultural factors, social factors, personal factors and psychological factors on buying behaviour of Nigerian consumers towards the purchase of locally manufactured products in Nigeria. The study has also evaluated how “consumer ethnocentrism” mediates between cultural, social, personal, psychological, and buyer behaviour of Nigerian consumers towards the purchase of locally manufactured products.

    The Effects Of Equity Incentives On Corporate Performance: The Mediating Role Of Research And Development Investment
    (2025-08)
    Zhu, Rongqiu
    As an important component of corporate governance mechanism, equity incentives can alleviate the agency conflicts between shareholders and managers which are caused by the separation of ownership and control. Since the official implementation of equity incentives in China started in 2006, there has been a rapid growth in the number of listed companies adopting equity incentives. However, it has been a debatable topic whether equity incentives can improve corporate performance, and whether the specific equity incentive contract terms can better promote corporate performance. Therefore, the necessary of systematically examining the effects of equity incentives is highlighted. In addition to examine the effect of the implementation of equity incentives on the corporate performance, the study also examines the effects of equity incentive contract terms, which include equity incentive modes, the range of equity incentive recipients and the proportion of equity incentives granted to key employees.

    (2025-08)
    China’s rapid economic growth underscores the importance of corporate governance, yet earnings management remains prevalent, particularly in firms with ownership control. While prior studies have largely examined Type I agency conflicts between managers and owners, Type II conflicts between controlling and minority shareholders remain underexplored. This study examines how ownership concentration and family ownership affect earnings management of listed firms in China and explores the moderating role of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance.

    Antecedents Of Pro-Environmental Behavior Among Manufacturing Textile Smes In Jiangsu,China
    (2025-09)
    Zhang, Yunxiao
    In today's competitive business environment, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those in the textile manufacturing sector, are confronted with the dual challenges of sustaining growth and adapting to market changes. For these enterprises, having a workforce engaged in pro-environmental behaviors is crucial for ensuring green management, reducing energy consumption, and enhancing efficiency. A reluctance among employees in textile manufacturing SMEs to adopt such behaviors poses a significant threat to long-term enterprise development. Consequently, understanding the motivators behind employees' pro-environmental behaviors has become a pivotal issue for SMEs in this sector. This study aims to identify the factors that influence pro-environmental behaviors among employees of textile manufacturing SMEs. It focuses on ethical leadership (IV1) and environmental transformational leadership (IV2), along with personal normative beliefs (MV1) and environmental concern (MV2), as these are considered critical at both individual and organizational levels. Additionally, the study examines the moderating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR), viewing these factors as potent motivators for pro-environmental behaviors.

    Role Of Climate And Technology On Economic Development And Carbon Sink In China
    (2025-08)
    Zhang, Xinyue
    Eastern China is well developed with high GDP and comfortable climate. Western China is less developed with harsh climate. Unfavourable climate probably explains the primary reason of economic gap between the East and the West. Extreme weather brings difficulties for human to live and industries to develop, while economic growth requires ideal climate and labour. The first objective is to examine the effect of climate to economy in different provinces. In other words, carbon sink provides opportunities for human and livestock to live on.
