    The Impact Of Global Value Chain Participation On Total Factor Productivity Of Renewable Energy In China: The Moderating Role Of Digitalization
    (2025-09)
    Ning, Chengjia
    With the depth of economic globalization, renewable energy can greatly promote the sustainable development of society. However, the impact of participation in global value chain (GVC) on renewable energy total factor productivity (TFP) has produced heterogeneity. Digitalization injects new vitality into industrial development and accelerates the updating of technology and products. What is the impact of global value chain on the total factor productivity of China's renewable energy industry? what is the role of digitalization? To answer the above questions, this study chooses 26 provinces of China in 2011-2020 as the research samples, novelty proposes the evolution path of “participation in GVC – digitalization – renewable energy TFP”, and for the first time analyzes the impact of GVC on renewable energy TFP from the perspective of digitalization. The study also analyzes the moderating effect of digitalization. By employing regression model analysis, the conclusions indicate that: 1) China's provincial renewable energy total factor productivity has gradually increased, in which the contribution of technical change is higher than that of technical efficiency. 2) GVC has a significantly positive effect on renewable energy TFP. 3) Digitalization plays a significant moderating role in the relationship between GVC and renewable energy TFP, which has been tested to strengthen the positive effect caused by GVC.

    The Influence Of Institutional Pressures And Social Capital On Blockchain Technology Diffusion In Malaysian Agriculture And Food Supply Chain: The Moderating Role Of Social Networks
    (2025-09)
    Anwar, Muhammad Fahad
    The conventional agriculture and food supply chain (AFSC) suffers from concerns such as food security, food waste, operational inefficiency, instances of food fraud, and lack of traceability, among others. These concerns exist due to a lack of traceability, transparency, digitalization, and interconnectedness across AFSC. In addition, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies to adopt digitalization solutions to sustain their business operations. While most businesses reverted to existing practices once the pandemic's adversities eased, this implies that the adopted system does not meet the needs of AFSC companies. In response, researchers advocated for the use of blockchain technology (BCT) to unlock the capabilities of traceability and transparency, as well as to offer a secure platform for digitalization. Despite the benefits of BCT in improving AFSC, its usage is still in the infancy stage. Therefore, this study aims to increase the diffusion of BCT in the Malaysian AFSC by assessing the influence of social capital theory and institutional theory. Also, most previous studies have particularly focused on intention to adopt, and this study extends the scope by adding two preceding stages: knowledge seeking and evaluation of perceived innovation characteristics. The key research objectives are to identify the significant determinants of each BCT diffusion stage and examine the moderating role of social networks in trust-based relationships.

    Examining The Relationship Between Hrm Practices, Organizational Justice, Transformational Leadership, And Job Performance Of Administrative Staff In “Double First Class” Universities In Sichuan, China: The Moderating Role Of Organizational Identification
    (2025-08)
    Mou, Lin
    As China’s higher education sector expands, operational-level administrative staff face increasing workloads, evolving job expectations, and immense pressure. Ensuring their effectiveness is crucial for institutional efficiency, yet research on their performance remains limited. This study, based on social exchange theory (SET) and social identity theory (SIT), explores how HRM practices, organizational justice, and transformational leadership influence job performance, with organizational identification as a moderator.

    Job Characteristics, Intrinsic Motivation, Organizational Innovative Climate And Employee Innovative Behaviour In The Chinese Ccmi Industry
    (2025-09)
    Ma, Tingting
    Due to advancements in new media technology, Chinese Convergent Media Institutions (CCMI) exhibit significant growth potential. The huge user base, the insufficient innovation drive, and the rapid iteration of digital technologies places significant pressure on the CCMI industry employees’ innovation (EIB). Drawing upon the Job Characteristics Theory and Cognitive Evaluation Theory, this study developed a novel model and tested 17 hypotheses to validate the factors influencing EIB, encompassing job attributes, personal drive, and environmental factors.

    The Influence Of Job Embeddedness On Turnover Intention: The Mediating Role Of Organizational Commitment Among Private University Lecturers In Yunnan, China
    (2025-09)
    Liu, Jing Jie
    Rapid advancement in China’s educational landscape, made private higher education institutions preparing themselves in taking an increasingly significant role towards the country development. Thus, this research focused on the turnover intentions among faculty members of private universities in Yunnan, China. In today’s educational environment, faculty members’ turnover at private universities in Yunnan has become a noteworthy issue. As the backbone to the educational delivery, lecturer stability is essential to both teaching quality and institutional progress. However, data released by the Ministry of Education and on-site data collected from private universities in Yunnan indicate that this group shows an inclination towards leaving the institution. To address this, the study proposes strategies aimed at strengthening Job Embeddedness (JE) by cultivating a supportive organizational culture and enhancing lecturers' integration within the institution and the surrounding community. These initiatives are designed to strengthen Organizational Commitment (OC) and lower turnover intentions, thus supporting the long-term development of private universities in Yunnan. The study is based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Social Embeddedness Theory (SET). Following TRA, the study identifies JE dimensions (Organizational Fit, Organizational Link, Organizational Sacrifice, Community Fit, Community Link, and Community Sacrifice) as key variables.
