The current study sought to predict the inclination toward green entrepreneurship among the younger generation. The study employed a deductive approach by collecting cross‐sectional data. Bachelor and Master's degree students in business management and entrepreneurship courses comprised the respondents. The study analyzed 284 usable survey questionnaires in its final estimation. The results obtained by employing structural equation modeling (SEM) show the positive and significant impact of sustainability orientation and sustainability education on the green entrepreneurship inclination. In contrast, the nonsignificant effect of self‐efficacy on green entrepreneurship inclination is detected among respondents. The study's findings would support the government, policy makers, and university authorities in developing a tailor‐made awareness program through building a curriculum that could offer greater inclination toward green and sustainable education. The outcomes may lead to providing a better living place for future generations worldwide.
This study aims to investigate the impact of working capital management on the financial performance of firms. We have taken non-financial sector which is listed in Pakistan stock exchange (PSX) over the period of 2010 to 2015. We have sampled 50 firms listed is PSX. The secondary data is being collected from the publication of State bank of Pakistan (SBP) “Financial Statement analyses of Non-financial sector listed in Pakistan stock exchange 2010-2015”. Furthermore, we have used purposive sampling method to choose the selective firms in manufacturing industry of Pakistan. Moreover, Pearson correlation and multiple regression are used as data analyses techniques. The study variables consist working capital management as independent variable and financial performance as dependent variable. We have used proxies to compute independent variable like Average payment period (APP), inventory turnover (ITO), cash conversion cycle (CCC) and average collection period (ACP). Moreover, financial performance (dependent variable) measured as earnings per share (EPS), return on equity (ROE) and return on assets (ROA). It is observed in the results that there is significant and negative impact of APP and ITO on ROA but two independent variables CCC and ACP have significant and positive impact on ROA. Moreover, it is found that CCC, APP and ITO have significant and negative impact on ROE and EPS respectively. Lastly, it is observed that ACP has a significant and positive impact on ROE and EPS. The results of multiple regression investigated that the financial performance of Pakistani manufacturing firms is consistent with WCM. This study supports in managing the working capital requirements to boost firm performance in general. Moreover, specifically in the context of Pakistani manufacturing firms the study implications are significant in expansion and betterment of financial performance of firms
This study was conducted to comprehend the overall job satisfaction of non-PhD faculty in universities of Sindh. The study was based on (Herzberg’s, 1959) two factors, motivator (Advancement, Recognition) and Hygiene (Interpersonal, Policies, Compensation) of job satisfaction. A well-structured questionnaire based on (Castillo & Cano, 2004) job satisfaction index was applied to obtain required data from non-PhD faculty members of universities. 125 non PhD faculty members from various universities at a response rate of 83% participated in the survey. The 81% data was reliable for the analysis. The frequencies and cross tabs were calculated from the data. The majority of the respondents was male, graduate, below 30 years of age, married and had job experience of more than 5 years. The factor analysis was applied to find out the underlying variance among the variables. The analysis has found five new components of the job satisfaction. The results showed that overall job satisfaction among the non-PhD faculty members of universities was very low. The motivator and job satisfaction components have significant impact on the overall job satisfaction of the non-PhD faculty. Considering the results, the management of the universities is recommended to focus on the job motivators (Advancement, Recognition) hygiene (Interpersonal/Administration relationship, Policies, Compensation) of the non-PhD faculty for the improvement of job satisfaction and performance. The researchers and scholars may conduct further studies on the factors identified through factor analysis.
