Determinants of Tax Evasion Attitude of Individuals: Evidence from a Country Facing Fiscal Turmoil

“…The findings of the study established that an unfair tax system, poor administration of the taxation system, inefficient and corrupt employees, and lack of effective governance of the taxation system increase the tax evasion attitude of individuals. Previous studies e.g., Akram et al (2012) found a strong relationship between tax evasion and the taxation system. They found that an inefficient and unfair tax system is one of the main causes of tax evasion attitudes of individuals.…”

“…In the existing literature, the tax system is revealed as a significant determinant of tax evasion attitude. Akram et al (2012) found a strong relationship between TE and TS. The findings show that TS in the country contributes positively toward TPs' perspective and stimulates evasion behaviors.…”

“…The tax system consists of a taxation process involving laws, regulations, and procedures that communicate with the administrative bodies, to generate government funds (Agbetunde, 2010). It refers to the system that includes the administration of government taxes, income taxes, fiscal laws, tax policy, and tax collection of the country (Akram, Ali, & Mughal, 2012). In the existing literature, the tax system is revealed as a significant determinant of tax evasion attitude.…”

Head Teachers’ Prevalent Leadership Styles and Teachers’ Performance in Selected Private Secondary Schools in Buikwe District (Uganda)

“…For the dictatorial (autocratic/authoritarian) leadership style, some studies indicated that it has a negative impact on employee performance (Basit et al, 2017;Iqbal et al, 2015;Nasir, Nordin, Seman & Rahmat, 2014;Ayene, 2016). However, other studies found a positive correlation between dictatorial leadership and employee performance (Chua et al, 2018;Akram et al, 2012;Bakwai, 2015;Bhargavi & Yaseen, 2016;Khajeh, 2018;Wang & Guan, 2018). The contradiction gap between one group of studies and another warranted further research, among other gaps.…”

Determinants of organizational innovation: a framework

“…Leadership behavior is often associated with rewards to innovative workers and/or punishment for failing to deliver (Elenkov, 2012;Jong and Hartog, 2007;Li-Fei and Hua, 2010;Obiwuru et al, 2011;Stoffers and Heijden, 2009;Wanga et al, 2011;Zaccaro and Klimoski, 2011). Visionary leadership behavior is linked to providing guidelines for future engagements and communicating both the desired types of innovation and a clear vision (Akram et al, 2012). Visionary leaders are also recognized by their ability to engage women and promote gender diversity and inclusion allowing women to be equal partners in the growth of an organization (Elsaid and Eahab, 2012).…”
