“…Furthermore, TQM plays a highly influential role in automobile firms in China's export performance and the current results regarding TQM and firm's performance are in line with prior studies [133,134]. Interestingly, Feminine style of leadership is indirectly evident in the study, thus, supports the work of Faizan et al [135]. Regarding EMO, these research findings show that EMO has contributed to FEP in the context of China.…”

The automobile industry has significantly contributed towards China’s economy. After producing approximately 24.5 million vehicles in 2015, China’s automobile industry has achieved its greatest height by emerging worldwide as the top automobile producer. However, China’s automobile industry could not sustain this achievement and it witnessed a sudden growth rate decrease in 2016–2017, reflecting their poor export performance. To address this problem, the prime objective of this research is to explore the roles of total quality management (TQM), entrepreneurial orientation (EO), export market orientation (EMO), brand orientation (BO) and cleaner production (CP) in firm export performance (FEP). For this reason, a quantitative research approach with cross-sectional research design was adopted by gathering the data from 347 respondents working as export managers at Chinese automobile companies via simple random technique. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) through software smartPLS-3.2.7 employed to analyze data. Results revealed that the TQM, EO, EMO, BO, and CP has a significant association with FEP. Additionally, findings confirmed CP as a moderating variable that contributes positively to FEP. The research has eminently contributed to the export performance of the automobile industry, specifically in China. It is very beneficial to practitioners in the Chinese automobile industry as it will assist them in regaining and exceeding their record export performance while also contributes to resource-based-view theory.

“…It is evident from the existing literature on the subject that a sufficient amount of credit aids the performance of entrepreneurial activities (Cwynar, Cwynar, Wais, & Parda, 2016; Gartner, Gartner, Shaver, Carter, & Reynolds, 2004; Lakwo, 2006) of which human capital is key (Bhukuth, Roumane, & Terrany, 2018). Furthermore, credit provides support to entrepreneurs, particularly, and it is often realized that credit increases output, income, investment, as well as the welfare of entrepreneurs (Cwynar et al, 2016; Lakwo, 2006; Peter, 2001), but leadership is the most crucial element for success (Faizan, Nair, & Haque, 2018). Thus, micro‐credit from microfinance institutions increases the output of a business‐like women's micro‐enterprise.…”

Environmental disaster and women self‐sustainability—A survey study on microfinance female clientele in Pakistan

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The prime objective of this study is to investigate the role of microfinance institutions towards women's self‐sustainability in Pakistan because women are the most vulnerable community in Pakistan and in the world, too. Due to various issues like gender discrimination, women's self‐sustainability is quite low, and this accounts for the negligible contribution of women in Pakistan's economy (up to 20 to 25%). In addressing this issue, the current study adopted a quantitative research approach and cross‐sectional research design. By using a survey questionnaire, data were collected from female clients of microfinance institutions during May 1, 2018 to August 30, 2018. SmartPLS 3 was utilized to analyse the data. The results of the inquiry revealed that microfinance institutions have an essential role to play in promoting women's self‐reliance. With the help of micro‐enterprises for women, services offered by microfinance institution such as micro‐credit, micro‐savings, micro‐insurance, micro‐training and social capital have a major role in developing women's self‐sustainability. However, an environmental disaster is one of the crucial factors, which limits the positive contribution of microfinance institutions towards women's self‐sustainability. Our thorough research and knowledge on the subject indicates that the current study is the pioneer study that has investigated microfinance institutions as major facilitators of women's self‐reliance but which has been limited by many factors such as environmental disasters. Hence, the current study appears salient for microfinance institutions, the government of Pakistan and other practitioners that desire to boost women's self‐sustainability.

“…For instance, Narayanan (2017) identifies recruitment procedures, lack of mentors/models, development/promotion policies, and male power as barriers, but in this study most respondents did not recognise them as obstacles for their career advancement. More discrepancies with the literature were found since the collected results regarding the evaluation system, the number of years of experience in the field, gender stereotype cultural bias, and lack of self-confidence are not in line with the findings of Narayanan (2017), Faizan et al (2018), Broughton and Miller (2009), and Ghali and Olichon (2008) respectively. On the other hand, "family responsibilities" is the only element considered to be a potential career obstacle by women, as a higher number of respondents agreed with the statement.…”

“…Specifically, Lake (2018) affirmed that some of the reasons why these possibilities are limited for women are: (1) unconscious bias (categorising based on stereotyping); (2) poor management of potential talents; and (3) insufficient confidence in women who look for a promotion. According to Faizan et al (2018), there are multiple reasons why women have fewer chances to reach senior managerial roles. Examples are responsibilities at home, less experience, and few managerial skills.…”

This research analyses gender equality in the hospitality industry in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In particular, this quantitative study focuses on women who could potentially occupy a senior management position, and therefore the aim of this research is to identify the main factors that influence female employees' choice in a non-senior managerial role to advance in their career. With this intention, a sample of 515 women was selected to complete an online questionnaire. Not all the findings are in line with the previous literature, e.g. most factors identified as a barrier for women's career progression are not considered as such by most women in this study. On the other hand, different techniques that are recognised as beneficial for women career advancement are in line with the female employees' thoughts. Hospitality businesses are advised to put into action the constructive methods derived from the findings of this study, such as flexible working hours and talent development programmes, in order to increase gender equality as well as to create more opportunities for women who want to reach senior management positions.
