Determinants Of Innovative Work Behaviour Among Academics In Saudi Arabia: Quality Culture As Moderator
(2024-11)
Harmal, Majed Ageel A
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in government financing and investment directed towards higher education institutions (heis) in saudi arabia. This trend highlights the crucial significance of academicians’ hard and soft skills in shaping their performance. The concept of academic innovative work behaviour (iwb) is strongly associated with the ability to come up with and share original ideas. The objective of this study is to further investigate the influence of academic talents on several aspects of innovative work behaviour, with a specific focus on the creation and advancement of novel ideas. Comprehending these processes is crucial for cultivating a culture of innovation within the academic domain. This study looks at the factors that influence innovative work behaviour (iwb) among academic staff in saudi arabian higher education institutions (heis). This study examines the impact of various factors on iwb, including extrinsic motivation, communication efficacy, selfdetermination, competence, management support, and psychological empowerment, with the moderating influence of quality culture, with a focus on the country’s underutilization of human resources for innovative ideas despite significant government investments in heis. Using an approach grounded in the selfdetermination theory and the social cognitive theory, the study analysed data from 390 assistant professors, associate professors, and professors.
Corporate Governance And Firm Performance: The Moderating Role Of Chief Executive Officer Power In Jordan
(2024-11)
Aldegis, Ahmad Mohammad Hasan
Corporate governance has increasingly become a key factor in firms' performance in the last few decades. In the jordanian context, the amman stock exchange (ase) has made several regulatory changes, issuing corporate governance mechanisms in 2017. However, due to the poor performance in the industrial and service sectors, jordan has faced business and social challenges since the arab uprising, which required identifying key factors influencing firm performance. Therefore, it is necessary to find mechanisms to control the efficiency of firm performance. This thesis focused on three major elements: corporate governance mechanisms, firm performance, and ceo power. The current study examines the effect of corporate governance mechanisms (board of directors’ characteristics, audit committee characteristics, risk management committee characteristics, family ownership, and arab foreign ownership) on firm performance based on the agency and resource dependence theories. Moreover, the study also identifies the influence of ceo power as a moderating variable in the relationship between the board of directors’ characteristics, audit committee characteristics, risk management committee characteristics, and firm performance. Based on agency and resource dependence theories, a conceptual model is developed and tested using the mono-method data from the 67 companies.
Pakistan’S Aggregate And Sectoral Trade Costs Estimations: Evaluating Trade Policies And Institutional Quality
(2014-02)
Saqib, Abdul
This thesis examines trade costs in pakistan, focusing on sectoral and partner-specific asymmetries to reveal their impact on pakistan's trade performance. It also assesses the impact of key trade policies, including applied tariffs, non-tariff barriers and trade agreements; and institutional factors including climate change, economic policy uncertainty, exchange rate volatility, institutional distance, and cultural distance on directional trade costs across sectors. Despite advanced methodologies and available trade data, the literature lacks comprehensive insights into pakistan's directional trade costs. Therefore, rigorous estimations are essential to determine the extent of these costs and understand the underlying factors driving these trade costs. This thesis employs a two-step methodology. In the first step, it applies the generic gravity trade model by egger et al. (2021) to estimate directional trade costs across 32 goods and services sectors with 62 trade partners. In the second stage, these directional trade costs are regressed against trade policies and institutional factors across six models (three for goods and three for services). This analysis uses a poisson pseudo maximum likelihood estimator with high-dimensional fixed effects to account for pair-specific, sector, and time fixed effects and to address issues like heteroskedasticity. The first-stage analysis reveals high and steady trade costs in pakistan, with export costs exceeding import costs. Trade costs are relatively lower with regional partners like sri lanka and maldives but higher with major partners such as the uk and us.
