    Intrapersonal And Interpersonal Behaviour Towards Intention And Knowledge Sharing Behaviour Among Non-Academic Employees Of Higher Learning Institutions In Indonesia
    (2025-05)
    Husein, Alice Erni
    In this knowledge era, personal behavioural perspectives, such as intention to knowledge-sharing behaviour (iksb), should be explored within the context of knowledge-creation environment like higher learning institutions (hlis) by considering the persistence of the behaviour of not sharing knowledge among nonacademic employees. One of the key contributing factors of added competitive advantage lies in the effectiveness and efficiency of iksb. Prior studies empirically demonstrated the lack of attention in iksb among non-academic employees, as compared to that of academic employees. Thus, focusing on hlis in indonesia, the current study assessed iksb among non-academic employees with respect to the extended to theory of planned behaviour (etpb), which was extended with the inclusion of altruism (as a key component of behavioural intention) and trust (as a moderator in the relationship between attitude and iksb). In particular, a selfadministered questionnaire survey, which involved 405 respondents, was conducted in both public and private hlis.

    (2025-04)
    Najjar, Suzan Mohammad Awad Al
    The healthcare industry has held a significant importance in the society as its main aim is to provide health, care and safety for the individuals with health-related issues. The primary stakeholders in the healthcare industry are the direct patients, who are followed by their families and friends. Negligence or mistakes by the healthcare professionals can have catastrophic effects on both individual patients and groups, jeopardizing their lives. The growing number of medical errors universally results in approximately 100,000 patient deaths per year. In order to overcome these issues and enhance patient care by minimizing medical errors, healthcare organizations must employ innovative quality tools such as the lean six sigma (lss) approach to improve quality performance. In healthcare organizations, the lean six sigma methodology aids in the reduction of wastes of all kinds, variation, and mismatched work in service processes. Hospital performance is enhanced by the lss approach, which also decreases needless waiting times between value-added activities. In this regard, the role of top management is also inevitable. The study aims to assess the impact of top management commitment and support as well as training & education on the competitive advantage of jordanian hospitals, incorporating the mediating roles of lss and quality performance. In order to determine the associations between these variables,

    Developing A Heuristic Heterogeneous Agent Model For Government Intervention During Stock Market Crashes In China
    (2025-03)
    Huang, Ping
    The chinese stock market, characterised by a predominance of inexperienced retail investors and high levels of speculation, is notably marked by active government intervention aimed at managing major financial risks and stabilising financial markets. However, there is a scarcity of research on theoretical models that guide such intervention. This study seeks to fill that gap by developing a heuristic government model that provides guidance. The heuristic characteristics of the model are reflected in two key aspects: (1) both investors and the government utilize a simple moving average to calculate the fundamental value of the stock market; and (2) the government employs a simple linear model to determine the intervention threshold and intervention fraction. The study begins by examining excess volatility in china’s stock market using a heuristic heterogeneous agent model (h-ham) comprising mean-reverting and trend-following investors. It then develops a novel heuristic government ham (hg-ham) by introducing a government agent to provide guidance for government intervention. The model parameters are estimated using daily data from the chinese stock index 300 (csi 300) spanning 2006 to 2022, covering three significant periods of market fluctuation: the 2008 financial crisis, the 2015 chinese stock market crash, and the covid-19 epidemic.

    (2025-06)
    Alrahamneh, Luay Salem Mohammad
    This study examines the moderating role of corporate governance on the relationship between the financial management factors and working capital management efficiency (WCME) across key MENA countries; namely, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The study aims to investigate the impact of the cash conversion cycle (CCC); free cash flow; debt financing; global crisis events; and corporate governance factors of board size, board independence, and CEO duality on the WCME. Additionally, it aims to examine how corporate governance factors affect the relationships towards the WCME and evaluate the endogenous effect between the WCME and firm risk-taking.
