“…That, micro-financial services and nonfinancial services were predominant poverty alleviation strategies that spread rapidly and widely over the last few decades and were currently operational across several developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America (Sharma et al, 2017; see also Asante-Addo et al, 2017;Banerjee & Jackson, 2017;Chen et al, 2017;Kapila et al, 2016, June;Kumar & Rakhin, 2016;Pantaleo & Chagama, 2016). Javalgi et al (2018) and Sanda (2020) 2019) argued that on gender perspective, women were dominant of GBM model, serious and efficient users of group loans. That; entrepreneurship experience was one of effective tools for poverty alleviation and created opportunities for self-employment (Ekpe, et al, 2016; see also Bernard et al, 2016;Enimola et al, 2019;Hameed et al, 2017;Rahman et al, 2017)…”

Following on-going debate among scholars and researchers on influence of group based micro-financing on rural based businesses some Tanzanians are afraid of group loans. For that case a study was undertaken in Tanzania in 2020. The general objective of the study was to determine influence of group based micro-financing model on business performance of rural based Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Tanzania. It was guided by the theory of group based micro-financing (GBM) model. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from 279 group based borrowers of financial institutions. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLRA) was conducted to estimate the influence of the Model on business performance of rural based MSMEs. The study found out that group based micro-financial services and borrower qualities had significant positive influences on business performance while nonfinancial services had insignificant positive influence. Mandatory loan servicing costs and transaction costs had significant negative influences. Furthermore, the study confirmed that group based micro-financing model in general had significant positive influence which implied that it was essential and a panacea for the rural poor. It is therefore recommended for smallholder farmers in rural Tanzania to enable them engage in income earning businesses in their respective areas.

“…According to the US Census Bureau, family firms comprise 90 percent of all business enterprises in North America, half of the nation's employment, and half of its Gross National Product (Inc, 2021). Therefore, family firms are an important business area to study.…”

“…For example, family control and influence, identification of family members with the firm, and binding social ties (Berrone et al, 2012). We focus on persistence decisions within family businesses, but a good stream of future research could be looking at the intersection of family business persistence and motivations to enter markets/regions (Javalgi et al, 2018), marketing capabilities (Martin & Javalgi, 2019), strategic planning (Rigtering et al, 2017) and entrepreneurial orientation (Covin et al, 2020;Palmer et al, 2019;Rigtering et al, 2017). Finally, as noted in the sample description, our useable sample consists of slightly more minority respondents that might be expected which may or may not limit the generalizability of this study to other demographics of respondents.…”

Many factors may influence entrepreneurial persistence in various contexts. For example, scholars find that family business entrepreneurs are more persistent than other entrepreneurs. However, the reasons why they are more persistent are not as well known. Utilizing a conjoint experiment with 64 entrepreneurs and 376 decisions, this paper examines the influence of socioemotional wealth (SEW) on persistence decisions in a family business context. The results of the Hierarchical Linear Modelling show that the expected financial returns, expected non-financial benefits, expected switching costs, and probability of expected outcomes influence entrepreneurial persistence decisions. Further, family business entrepreneurs with higher levels of SEW focus more on non-financial benefits when facing alternative opportunities. This study also provided empirical evidence for different dimensions of SEW. The results show that the emotional attachment of family members and the renewal of family bonds to the firm are effective indicators, which provide a direct measurement of SEW. The findings of this study increase scholarly understanding of both entrepreneurial persistence literature founded in threshold theory and SEW literature.

“…While previous research explored the impact of green supply chain management (Wu, 2013), charitable giving (Yu et al, 2021), and debt heterogeneity (Jin et al, 2019) on an organization's sustainability, the effect of GI has been neglected. Information disclosure may serve to promote sustainability and enhancing performance by reducing costs, improving resource efficiency, and creating new market opportunities (Javalgi et al, 2018). Despite the increased interest in GI, the connection between SP, FP, and GI is still difficult to comprehend.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between sustainability performance (SP) and financial performance (FP), based on performance disclosures (reporting) of the Jordanian financial sector for the period of 2017–2020. The study employs green innovation (GI) indicators as moderating and mediating variables; by using hierarchical regression; as means of unlocking and examining the relationship between SP and FP; through the lens of the stakeholder theory. The hierarchical regression findings suggest that GI indicators partially mediate the relationship between SP and FP, but do not demonstrate a moderating effect. As a main result, it is indicated that Jordanian financial institutions may use SP transparency indicators as an incentive variable, which could influence their overall FP. The research also contributes to the existing literature by adding insight into the use of GI indicators in a developing country and the potential impact on financial institutions markets. These findings lend empirical credence to the generally held belief that increase disclosure benefits for both internal and external users.
