Abstract: In order to enhance performance of private commercial banks, it is imperative to improve harmony, develop favourable relationship and alleviate organization conflict among the employees. According to Julian and Ramashen (1994), delivering quality services and products to customers is essential for success and survival of today's competitive banking environment. There is no alternative to improve the state of service quality, product quality and corporate social performance, in order to build and enhance a bank's reputation at an acceptable level. Employee performance is critical in this respect. It is also a driving force behind customer retention and attracting new clients in a bank. However, a major hindrance to enhance reputation, increase financial performance and profitability, and..........

Title | : | Defining Privacy and Regulatory Concerns in the Sharing Economy |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.(Prof.) Abhijit Pandit |

Abstract: Since the establishment of commercial sharing economy services like Uber, Blablacar, Lyft, Airbnb, TaskRabbit, etc., the debate about the sharing economy and its effects on competition has generated lively discussions, which have too often dangerously departed from a debate based on objective (market) observation to evolve into a quarrel among the supporters and opponents of the online platforms. Undoubtedly, the peculiar features of these new firms' business models create frictions with the traditional regulatory environment, which currently appears to be incapable of framing them into models and schemes typical of a previous economic phase, such as, for example, one-sided markets, no externalities, and competition mainly on price. Nevertheless, setting aside the more or less impromptu debate about the "social goodness" of these firms, we argue that competition enforcers should look at their effective market power. In fact, as the basic principles of competition law teach us, only when those firms have (more or..........

Abstract: This descriptive and an analytical study present a structural equation model for studying the mediating role of positive psychological capital in the relationship between authentic leadership and organizational commitment. Quantitative data was collected from the case of Al-Azhar University based in Gaza Strip, a context in which the needs for both authentic leadership and a positive and committed academic staff are integral to the entire performance of the university. The results reveal that positive psychological capital insignificantly mediates the relationship between authentic leadership and organizational commitment.

Abstract: Leadership is a key aspect of any manager, administrator or entrepreneur which enables one to influence subordinates or followers in order to attain desired outcomes such as competitiveness and growth. This attribute seems to be lacking in the Informal sector as the players have failed to grow their businesses which have remained stagnant despite lots of potential for expansion. The study was conducted in high density suburbs of Harare and covered the popular congested home industrial sites which had degenerated into a hive of illegal dealings and unorthodox business practices. This qualitative study used the group focus method and the snowballing sampling technique to identify participants. The study found that they were different views given by workers and entrepreneurs' (owners) on how their businesses..........

Abstract: Entrepreneurship has been given increasing recognition for the recent global economic expansion. Many business schools in many universities has attempted to expand their graduate programs to offer entrepreneurial courses in Kenya. The aim of this study was to identify the antecedents of entrepreneurial orientation among graduate students in Kenya. 200 graduate students of private university were selected randomly to be the respondents. A set of questionnaire on Entrepreneurial Orientation constructs which consisted of 14 measures was used for data collection. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the construct that contributes the most to entrepreneurship Orientation are innovativeness, pro-activeness and risk taking respectively. Understanding antecedents of entrepreneurial orientation at the individual level could be valuable to future business owners, to business incubators and to potential investors who are considering supporting business proposals as well as the faculty so that they can rework on their programs to impart these converted behaviors.
