“…As income increases, the demand for civil goods increases faster than increment in income level. Therefore, public spending should also increase faster compared to increment in national income due to a greater demand of enactment, laws and policy of civil goods (Pradhan et al, 2015;Mujtaba et al, 2018).…”

This paper examines the impact of public spending on ASEAN-5 countries economic development. The purpose of this study is to provide evidence, reference and contribute to the knowledge about government spending and economic growth. This study involves ASEAN-5 countries. The countries are Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines and Malaysia. The countries are chosen because there is a lack of study of government expenditure for ASEAN-5 countries using panel data. The data covers from year 1990 to 2014. The data is retrieved from the World Development Indicators (World Bank). The dependent variable is gross domestic product (GDP). GDP is used to measure economic growth. The main independent variable is government expenditure. The other independent variables are gross capital formation, portfolio investment, labor, trade, total reserve and gross savings. A clear understanding about inter-linkages between government spending and economic growth will help the government in making better decision for the country. As ASEAN countries have responsibility for ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) Blueprint 2025 to meet its objectives, ASEAN governments are expected to effectively monitor the public spending as fiscal instrument in stimulating economic growth. Government expenditure may become unproductive if misallocating and using it in excess. From this study, there is evidence that government expenditure has impact on economic growth. Future research is expected to expand the investigation to other composition of government spending such as education, defense and infrastructure expenditures instead of using general government final consumption expenditures.

“…The extant literature positively links the uniqueness of human capital with firm performance across the sectors, for example, in young audit firms Santos-Rodrigues et al ( 2013), the automobile sector Mujtaba et al (2018), the service sector Munir et al (2019). Especially a firm's innovative performance is argued to be the critical outcome of unique human capital Bornay- Barrachina et al (2012).…”

This study investigates the unique human capital and innovative performance link and the intrinsic motivation as a moderator in this relationship. We obtained exciting results while testing hypotheses by applying Structural Equation Models and the Hayes Approach to the data collected from 196 respondents from the Kashmiri Handicrafts industry. The findings show that innovative performance is enhanced through unique human capital. Moreover, this relationship is significantly moderated by the intrinsic motivation of employees’/ sales persons. Thus, the interactive effect of outstanding human capital and inherent reason can enhance innovative performance by ensuring attractive avenues to enrich unique skills, knowledge, and the like among employees/salespersons. This paper attempted to unveil these relationships that have implications for theory and practice; further, some valuable detections were made under the veil.
