Obadina O M — 2024-09-23

The study examines the relationship between forecasting and organisational harmony in hospitality firms in Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted. The study takes a census of the population as a sample size which constitutes one regional manager and one regional human resource manager in the hospitality firms under study. Data for the study was collected through structured questionnaire. Five (5) point Likert scale was used to measure responses from the respondents. The face validity of the survey instrument was achieved through supervisor’s scrutiny and approval. Data was analysed using mean and standard deviations with charts to display the study variables. In contrast, inferential statistics such as the linear regression coefficient Statistics technique was used to test the hypotheses with the aid of statistical package for social science version 22.0 for the purposes of examining the nature and proposed associations. The results of the study showed that there is a positive and statistically significant association between attrition and workplace harmony. The study concludes that there is positive and significant relationship between forecasting and workplace harmony with the measures: (grievance frequency and team collaboration) in the hospitality firms in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that hospitality firms and their human resource managers continually carry out manpower recruit processes and plan to advance the attrition level in the future workforce situation in the labor market prior to recruitment of employees. Furthermore, it simply requires managers to sit down, think about their future workloads, and decide how many people they need.

Kondwani Monjeza — 2024-11-06

The major purpose of the study relates to assessing the impact of different demographic factors on the saving determinants and saving behaviour of the individuals of Ludhiana. Therefore, in this study saving determinants and behaviour were considered as the dependent variable and the demographic variables as the independent variable. The data was collected from 100 respondents which comprised individuals representing different heterogeneities of Ludhiana. The tools of factor analysis, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA were applied to study the impact of five demographic variables on the saving determinants and behaviour of the individuals of Ludhiana. The studies revealed that certain factors of saving behaviour had an insignificant relationship with the demographic factors while virtuous considerations and financial considerations resonated a significant impact with certain demographic factors. The major limitation of the study was that the sample was relatively of smaller size. Had it been of a larger size, the results would have been an accurate one. This paper was the first of its kind to study the saving behaviour of the Individuals of Ludhiana on the basis of their demographic factors.

Impact of Entrepreneurial Orientation on the Performance of Company: The Moderating Effect of the External Environment: Tunisian Case

Soufien Zouari — 2024-11-06

Although entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has been shown to play a key role in increasing firm performance (FP), the effects of EO have been extremely oversimplified. The plethora of empirical studies on EO and FP suggest that the EO-FP relationship is linearly positive regardless of the amount of EO investment. The results show that EO increases FP at the bounded level. We argue that the excessive use of EO and organisational incapability may contribute to the non-linearity of such effects. We also find that highly dynamic environments enhance the EO-FP relationship. We present prescriptive implications to practitioners on the antecedent conditions for EO practises.

Consumer Awareness of Social Ethics in Business

Taizinder Singh — 2024-11-06

The article discusses the growing importance of consumer awareness about social ethics in business, emphasising the role of transparent communication in fostering awareness and aligning operations with ethical standards. It also discusses the evolving expectations of consumers, who are prioritising socially responsible brands. The study contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic relationship between consumer awareness and the integration of social ethics in contemporary business practices. Consumer awareness is crucial for promoting social ethics in business, as it drives companies to adopt ethical practices. This paper explores the role of consumers in influencing corporate behaviour and the impact of ethical business practices on society. Consumers are more likely to support companies that align with their values, leading to more informed choices. Ethical businesses contribute positively to various aspects of society, such as environmental conservation, fair labour practices, and community development. Consumers also empower individuals to hold businesses accountable through social media and online platforms, influencing companies to adapt their strategies and policies. However, challenges like misleading marketing and insufficient transparency hinder consumers' ability to make informed decisions. Nowadays consumers are becoming more aware of the role of businesses towards society. This review will shed some light on the recent trends in consumer awareness towards social business ethics.

The Thin Line: Navigating Ethical Challenges in Media

Dr. Sunita Gupta — 2024-11-06

Democracy is a government of the people and for the people and by the people and everybody has the freedom of speech and media plays an important role in educating the people, widening their outlook, and enlightening their minds. Media is the line of communication between the ruler and the ruled. The Media, no doubt bridge the gap between the event and the people, but in most cases, they blow some events out of proportion. It has been noticed consistently and continuously that in a mad race to be first with information, most private channels trespass the boundaries of professionals and ethical standards. News is meant to be objective, fair, unbiased and neutral-this is what sets apart such information and opinion from other forms of media. But the image of journalism in India has taken quite a battering. Indeed, corruption in the mass media in India and elsewhere is as old as the media itself. If there is corruption in society, it would be unrealistic to expect the media to be free of this affliction. However, if we Indians today are supporting social activist Anna Hazare in his campaign to evade corruption from its very roots, it is also because of the unflinching support of the media. In this paper, we aim to take up case studies against the media and the final verdict thereof. The laws governing the media ethics will also be covered.
