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.

- PublicationIntegration Utilisation Performance Management System: Study(2025-02)Karina, Ria KarinaThis study aimed to explore the integration and utilisation of big data into the performance management system (pms). A qualitative case study approach was employed, utilising a constructivist grounded theory approach for data analysis, complemented by socio-technical system (sts) theory to guide the co-construction of the resulting theoretical framework. A case study was conducted at a transportation company in indonesia, with data collected through in-depth interviews and document reviews. The study focused on global positioning system (gps) data as the primary form of big data analysed. The findings revealed that integrating gps-derived big data into pms enhances operational efficiency, control, and decision-making processes. Key drivers of gps data adoption and usage included regulatory compliance, stakeholder expectations and demands, financial and economic constraints, and the need to mitigate business risks. The integration process spans technical, organisational, and cognitive dimensions, involving six key elements of sts theory: goals, people, technology, infrastructure, processes, and culture. Additionally, collaboration emerged as a new element in the developed theoretical framework. This integration enables the alignment of big data capabilities with organisational performance objectives while enhancing data-driven culture within the organisation.

- PublicationAntecedents And Outcomes Of Social Enterprises Resilience In Bangladesh(2025-02)Afrin, SaminaThis research aims to explore the antecedents and outcomes of social enterprises resilience in bangladesh. Understanding the hybrid nature and resource limitations of social enterprises, this study seeks to understand the effect of different dimensions of social capital and social network ties on social enterprises resilience under the mediating role of innovativeness. The concept of resilience at organizational level refers to the ability of a firm to survive disruptions and catastrophic events in the face of substantial changes in the business and economic environment. There is a growing stream of literature in the field of social enterprise focusing on the challenges arising from social enterprises’ hybrid structure of social and economic missions, and social enterprises’ management and performance under disruptive conditions. This research builds on this perspective and draws insights from the organizational resilience literature to address the knowledge gap in social enterprises’ resources and capabilities and innovative activities regarding their resilience capability and social and economic performance. Considering the effect of resources (social capital, social network, innovativeness) on capabilities (organizational resilience), a theoretical framework has been developed based on resource based-view (rbv) perspective. On the other hand, social capital theory has been applied to explain the different dimensions of social capital.
- PublicationBuilding A Better Workplace With Employee Engagement(2014)Nagarathanam, JivaraneeEmployee engagement is a vast construct that touches almost all parts of human resource management facets we know. If every part of human resources is not addressed in appropriate manner, employees fail to fully engage themselves in their job response to such kind of mismanagement. The construct employee engagement is built on the foundation of earlier concepts like job satisfaction, employee commitment and organizational citizenship behavior. Employee engagement is stronger predictor of positive organizational performance clearly showing the two-way relationship between employer and employee. Although there is a growing body of literature investigating employee engagement, scholars have noted that academic research lags behind practitioner developments. This is particularly notable with respect to the role of immediate supervisor. The novel of the study would be to introduce the supervisory support has the moderating effects on employee engagement. Employee engagement is a deep and broad connection that employees have with a company that results in a willingness to go above and beyond what's expected of them to help their company succeed.
