Abstract: Human resources is an important element in an organization. Organizational performance depends on the condition and behavior of the particular organization's employees. Employees' satisfaction depends on the compensation received; hence unsatisfactory compensation caused low organization commitment and increases turnover intention. High turnover intention causes bad impact on the organization. There were many studies showing that statement. However, not all turnover intentionsare caused by compensation and organizational commitment. Turnover intention can be caused by work stresses, work overload, low work motivation and also leadership style. In most of previous studies, the influence of organizational commitment on turnover intention was done in banking and education sector, so in this study, researcher will do it in hospital industry.The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of compensation and organizational commitment on employees' turnover intention. From this study, we will be able to draw conclusion of the influence of compensation and organizational commitment on turnover intention.

Abstract: In this paper, mixed constraints (i.e., precedence and fixed position constraints) are considered in the usual travelling salesman problem with multiple job facilities at each station. The two constraints, i.e., precedence constraint(s) and fixed position constraint(s) should maintain feasibility among themselves. By precedence constraints, one means that the station(s) (cities or links or nodes) are visited (or completed) in such a way that a particular station is to be preceded (completed or visited) by another station and on the other hand, with fixed position(s) constraints, one means that the station(s) are visited in such a way that a particular station(s) is to be visited in a certain specific step(s). The aim of the paper is to find a tour of the salesman by using above two constraints in such a way that the total distance traveled is minimum while completing all the........

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to observe the relationship and effect of networks on the performance of women entrepreneurs in Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). The qualitative technique employed to obtain a strong output and rational results. The survey is used as the best approach and a self design questionnaire provided to gather data. A total of 373 useable responses was collected and used for data analysis by using SPSS software. The outcome of this study showed a significant relationship between networks and the performance of women entrepreneurs in MSEs. It is also interesting to note that the network has a negative effect on the performance with standard coefficient at -0.058. This situation explains that the advantages of the network cannot be beneficial to women to implement it due to certain constraints. This study has provided some recommendations to empower women in the network to develop their ability to succeed in Micro and Small Enterprises.

Abstract: The objective of this research was to identify how the leaders influence their teams to form a high performance team, identify the most common shortcomings on the matter and how the actions taken affect the case's result. The method used in this research was the case study and instrument for data mining was a research done with the company's leaders.

Abstract: Using data on 576 Nigerian firms between 2011 and 2016 to examine the relationship between board composition and financial reporting quality, we underscored that the independence component of board composition is twofold : non-executive directors, and independent non-executive directors. Our multivariate regression results suggest that the proportions of the non-executive directors as well as that of the independent non-executive directors have a negative and significant relation with abnormal accruals, which in turn improves the quality of financial reporting. But the coefficient of board size did not show any significance. This is consistent with the prognosis of the agency theory. This study therefore, contributes to existing knowledge by expanding the independence of board of directors into two variable measures, and specifically detecting the significant components. The study is limited to our proxy of FRQ (abnormal accruals), and did not consider the sensitivity of contemporaneous IFRS adoption within the period.

Abstract: Taxation is the main source of revenue for governments. Therefore, taxation plays a significant role in facilitating governments to provide services to its citizens, investment in infrastructure, economic growth and equitable distribution of resources. It is therefore important that a country generates the highest possible revenues from its economy.

SMEs form the largest portion of economies especially in the developing world and operate largely in the informal sector therefore challenging governments' means in ensuring tax compliance. The Kenya Revenue Authority in order to enhance compliance has embraced the use of information technologies in taxing SMEs.........

Abstract: The India-US student mobility scenario is principally characterized by the large and growing outflow of Indian students to US campuses and a relatively miniscule inflow of American students to Indian higher education institutions (HEIs). Going ahead, it is imperative that Indian policy makers and providers work towards increasing the inflow of American students into Indian campuses and thereby help take the India-US higher education engagement to the next higher level. A growth in the number of U.S. students coming to Indian campuses would greatly benefit Indian higher education in multiple ways. The aim of the paper is to identify India-U.S. student mobility traits and to recognize the potential drivers to enhance the inflow of students from the US to Indian campuses through analysis........
