Employees' behavior and corporate social responsibility (CSR) can affect firms’ profitability and increase the corporate economic burden. This current research endeavors to explore how business firms navigate employees' technology-driven behavior and CSR sustainable practices for tax avoidance to affect firms’ performance. This study examines how CSR sustainable practices moderate the relationship between employees' behavior and tax avoidance to achieve sustainable business performance. The study incorporated the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) for the purpose of data analysis using the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique that is suitable for this sample size. The study’s target population is employees of small and medium enterprises located in Pakistan. The study has drawn a sample of employees and applied a convenience sampling technique. The findings show that tax avoidance, employee behavior, and corporate social responsibility positively affect business firms’ performance. The results further indicate that sustainable CSR practices significantly moderate tax avoidance’s effect on business firms’ performance. However, there is no condition to identify the relationship between employee behavior and firm performance. In theory, this research contributes to the corporate strategy literature by answering how corporate social responsibility sustainable practices mediate the relationship between tax avoidance, employees' behavior, and sustainable business performance. It shows that socially responsible organizations will engage less in tax avoidance behaviors. The results exhibit that the study provides a systematic, holistic framework to attain sustainable firms’ performance. The findings' generalizability offers future direction with helpful insights for business managers and policymakers.

Identifying the effects of the stability of farmland transfer management rights on the use of organic fertilizer with different farmland scales and crop types

Zhou

2022

Encouraging farmers to protect the quality of arable land is a focus of the current Chinese government. Enhancing the stability of arable land property rights is considered by the academic community to be an effective way to do so. Based on the survey data of 723 households in the hilly area of Jiangxi Province and using the probit model and robustness test methods, this paper examines the effect of stable farmland transfer management rights on farmers’ use of organic fertilizer and the differences in this effect with different management scales and crop types. The results show that stable management farmland transfer rights significantly encourage farmers to use organic fertilizer. Specifically, signing a written formal contract, increasing the contract registration rate, and extending contracts’ duration can increase farmers’ probability of using organic fertilizer, but whether there is a dispute in a farmland transfer has no significant impact on farmers using organic fertilizer. This study also finds that the impacts of stable arable land transfer management rights vary based on different characteristics of farmers using organic fertilizer. Stable arable land transfer management rights can encourage large-scale farmers and farmers planting grain crops to use organic fertilizer. To increase the stability of these rights, the local government should encourage farmers to sign formal written contracts, standardize their registration, and extend their duration.

Modeling consumer’s innovativeness and purchase intention relationship regarding 5G technology in China

et al. 2022

Consumer innovativeness is a significant personality attribute that refers to a person’s proclivity to acquire and utilize new items more rapidly and frequently than others. Although previous research has revealed a relationship between consumer innovativeness and the intention to buy new technology products, little is known about the determinants such as visibility and guidance affordances, environmental awareness, and safety concerns that underpin this relationship. Using the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory through the PLS-SEM approach, this study analyzed the data of 341 Chinese consumers to explore the prospects mentioned above. The empirical results show that visibility and guidance affordances encourage consumer innovativeness. The results further reveal that environmental awareness and product safety concerns mediate the consumer innovativeness and purchase intention relationship. This model will contribute to the literature by improving predictive ability over previous models. Therefore, managers and policy-makers who wish to make constructive changes in the intentions of technology consumers are encouraged to ruminate on the extrapolations of this article.
