    Wu, Wanrong
    This study examines the relationship between urban and rural residents by looking at the impact of digital inclusive finance development on the income gap in GuangDong, China. This study also investigates the impact of the urban-rural income gap between neighboring cities and the impact of digital financial inclusion on reducing the income gap between neighboring cities, for 20 cities in Guangdong, China, over the period of 2010-2020. The study applies the Digital Inclusive Finance Index to examine whether the urban-rural income gap can be reduced. The study uses the Digital Inclusive Finance Index and its three sub-indices as independent variables. The sub-indices are the coverage index, the depth of use index and the degree of digitalization support index. The six dimensions of industrial structure, level of fixed asset investment, government competition, agricultural policy, level of traditional finance, the degree of openness to the world are used as control variables to observe effect of digital inclusive finance on reducing the urban-rural income gap. In addition, the impact of digital inclusion finance on reducing the urban-rural income gap between spatially adjacent cities was also studied. The findings show, in terms of the overall effect, the higher the development level of digital inclusive finance, the stronger the convergence effect on the urban-rural income gap.

    The Influence Of Onboarding Training Program, Organisational Formal Control, Organisational Commitment And Transactional Leadership As A Moderator On Deviant Workplace Behaviour Among Federal Polytechnics Academicians In Nigeria
    (2024-05)
    Ibrahim, Umar Sarkin Gardi
    Nowadays, deviant workplace behaviour has become a primary financial and socio-economic concern for private and governmental organisations worldwide. Numerous works of Nigerian literature, national and international dailies, and media have reported staggering cases of organisational deviance with its attendant consequences. The most worrying of these cases is its prevalence among academics in the Nigerian high institution of learning. Works of literature have linked several factors with the problem. However, scholars have paid less attention to the employee’s early work experience, commitment to work and formal control. With the support of the Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Deterrence Theory (DT), this study examined the role of leadership style in moderating the effects of onboarding training, organisational control, and organisational commitment on deviant workplace behaviour. A quota sampling technique was applied to determine the research population. After using a G* power sample size determination criterion, 356 academics from Federal Polytechnics located in the Northwest Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria participated in the study. Due to movements restriction as a result of the Covid - 19 pandemic, and security challenges in the study areas, an electronic xxii questionnaire was used to collect cross-sectional data.

    (2024-05)
    Alolaqi, Sultan Awad A
    Entrepreneurship has been a key driver of the economy by creating innovation, jobs and a higher standard of living. An entrepreneurial mindset can play an immense role in meeting the goals of the government’s sustainable growth plans. By reviewing the reality of the unemployment problem among the youth, along with its risks and approaches to overcoming it, the role of entrepreneurial intention among young undergraduate students (currently enrolled on an entrepreneurship course) is to alleviate the severity of the unemployment problem in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Considering the role of individual entrepreneurship awareness, this study suggests the conceptualization of the effective factors. Those factors include: individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) (Innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking), entrepreneurial social support (ESS) (Family support and peer-group support), the entrepreneurship education (EE), the entrepreneurial university environment (EUE) and the individual entrepreneurial intention (IEI). For the collection of the data, this study utilised the quantitative online-survey method with the convenience sampling technique. For fruitful insights, the current study analysed the data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Smart-PLS Software and SPSS Software. The framework proposed in this theory is under the spectrum of Stimulus-Organism-Response S-O-R Theory. The overall findings of this research suggest recommendations to the policymakers and government bodies that in order to create xvii an environment of entrepreneurial education in universities, students’ entrepreneurial intention needs to be created and examines whether the proposed factors effect this intention.

    The Impact Of Foreign Directors, Returnee Directors And Foreign Ownership On Corporate Innovation In Chinese Listed Manufacturing Companies
    (2024-07)
    Pu, Tingqian
    Economic globalization has driven the unprecedented worldwide integration of talent, capital, and other productive factors, offering emerging market enterprises new opportunities for innovation. Against the backdrop of corporate innovation becoming a crucial strategy for achieving superior performance and maintaining competitive advantage, research on how foreign directors, returnee directors, and foreign ownership affect corporate innovation remains limited. Using a sample of 17980 firm-year observations in the Chinese listed manufacturing companies during 2008–2021, this study evaluates the relationships between foreign directors, returning directors, foreign ownership, and corporate innovation from a corporate governance perspective. Additionally, this study examines the interaction effect of state ownership on the relationship between returnee directors and corporate innovation. Unlike previous research designs, this study categorizes foreign directors and returnee directors into three distinct types each and foreign ownership into two types. The findings indicate that foreign independent directors, foreign chairmen, returnee directors with overseas study background, returnee directors with overseas work background, and returnee directors with dual backgrounds positively and significantly affect corporate innovation.

    Effects Of Firm Characteristics On Esg Disclosure In China: The Moderating Role Of Institutional Environment
    (2024-07)
    Zhang, Yixi
    Environment, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives are considered as important business practices that assist the companies to achieve sustainable development for the business and the society. ESG activities have grown in popularity, and more companies are disclosing their ESG activities to indicate their engagement in social responsibility and to attract more investors. In China, over 40 years of economic reform have transformed the country into the biggest developing country in the world. However, although the number of listed companies in China has increased dramatically in the last decade, information transparency about their ESG activities has been lacking. The disclosure rate of independent ESG reports has remained around 25%, far lower than that of the developed Western countries. However, ESG disclosure in China is largely voluntary on the part of enterprises, and the factors influencing the motivation of corporate ESG disclosure are unclear.
