Improving Environmental Performance Through Innovative Academic Citizenship Behaviour: Green Training And Development, Green Recruitment And Selection As Antecedents In Jordanian Government University

The global financial crisis highlighted the crucial role of stress tests in evaluating a bank’s resilience to severe economic shocks. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was to examine the contribution of stress tests to credit risk in terms of hedging banking opacity and improving financial resistance against negative shocks in MENA countries, observed for the period from 2012 to 2022. Furthermore,, this study explores the impact of stress tests on enhancing bank transparency, particularly within the contexts of Islamic and conventional banking systems using the Panel-VAR and GMM approach. A conceptual framework is established to explain the connection between stress testing and bank transparency, emphasizing on the mechanisms through which stress tests can promote greater disclosure and accountability. A comparative analysis of stress testing practices across both banking sectors reveals similarities and distinctions in scenario selection, modeling techniques, and disclosure practices. In-depth case studies of Islamic and conventional banks illustrate the practical application of stress testing in fostering transparency. These results show that stress tests produce information about credit risk exposure and about the real conditions of financial institutions. Therefore, more transparency on bank losses and risks would have also enabled bank regulators to focus more attention on financial institutions and react early to take “corrective measures”. Policy recommendations are drawn to enhance the effectiveness of stress testing in promoting transparency and financial stability within both Islamic and conventional banking sectors. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of stress testing’s role in fostering a more resilient and stable financial system.

The pharmaceutical industries are crucial for the nation’s health and economy; therefore, their performance must be maintained. When they obtain the more successful performance indicators that can sway investors to raise their confidence as well as market value. This study aims to examine the effect of the Fama-French five factors and environmental performance on share returns. This was conducted on pharmaceutical industries listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and all data was obtained from annual-quarterly reports in the period 2017–2023. A total of 196 panel data observations have been conducted, and the analysis technique has employed quantitative approaches, notably autoregressive distributed lag analysis, of time series data. The results showed that market risk premium (MRP), firm size (SMB), profitability (RMW), and environment performance (EP) have a significant impact on share returns (SR), while firm size (SMB) and book value to equity (CMA) have not been significant statistically. The study is important for a variety of stakeholders, including managers, investors, and policymakers, who are interested in resolving the financial and environmental performance of pharmaceutical companies and preserving market prices by establishing mitigation strategies related to the specific factors. However, this study has limited relevance to the presence of F-F five factors and environmental performance that cannot maximally encourage the disclosure of market value.

Purpose According to the Workplace Health Reports 2023, around 76% of employees worldwide have experienced moderate-to-high stress levels. Around 26% of Indians are stressed due to their current work environment with long working hours, lack of job security, low wages, and growing competition. It is often believed that teaching is an extremely difficult job, in particular, academic staff experience a lot of stress due to several stressors. Emotional intelligence is a set of noncognitive abilities, to effectively handle environmental demands and stresses. The current investigation seeks to project the effect of psychological capital as a mediator linking emotional intelligence (EI) and occupational stress to academic teaching faculties in Chennai City. Research Methodology The proposed study used a questionnaire prepared, and distributed among college faculties of various levels of 325 respondents in Chennai city. Findings The research results indicate that while psychological capital acts as a mediating factor in the association between EI and occupational stress, EI itself has afavorableimpact on both psychological capital and occupational stress. Research Limitations We suggest delving further into this in subsequent research to ascertain the degree to which the findings may be generalized outside the study population. Secondly, we neglected to examine the influence of additional work-related stressors on the degree of work-related stress. Practical/Social Implications The investigation’s implications can be used by top management authorities of private colleges and universities to concentrate on the enhancement of EI and how it reduces the workplace stress of teaching faculties with the mediating variable as psychological capital, which improves the productivity of the employees.
