Abstract

This study examines how financial literacy moderates the link between accounting practices and financial performance of MSMEs in the Republic of Kenya. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are significant in developing many economies by creating employment, alleviating poverty and food insecurity, and contributing to the Gross Domestic Product. Despite their significance, MSMEs face multiple challenges that affect their capacity to achieve desired economic outcomes. The study employed an explanatory research design and utilized simple random sampling to select a representative sample. Data was collected from 398 managers/owners of MSMEs using a self-administered questionnaire. The hierarchical regression model was used to test the study hypothesis in SPSS vs.23. The study revealed that accounting practices and financial literacy have a positive and significant influence on MSMEs' financial performance. In addition, results show that financial literacy moderates the relationship between accounting practices and financial performance. The study underlines the importance of accounting approaches and financial literacy in improving MSMEs’ financial performance in developed and emerging nations. Given the scarcity of research in this context, it is critical to employ financial literacy as a moderating variable. The interaction results contribute to the body of knowledge and serve as a catalyst for improving the association between accounting practices and financial performance.

Abstract

Purpose- This study aims to provide an analytical framework that focuses on environmental knowledge as a mechanism through which social influence enhances pro-environmental behavior among university students. Design/Methodology- The research employed quantitative strategy, cross-sectional survey design, and systematic random sampling techniques to obtain data from a sample of 335 university students using a structured self-administered questionnaire. The study hypotheses were tested using Hayes Process Macro vs. 3.5 (Model 4). Findings- Results indicate that social influence strongly impacts students’ environmental knowledge, and both variables significantly predict pro-environmental behavior. Environmental knowledge was discovered to be the strongest predictor of pro-environmental behavior among students. Finally, results show that environmental knowledge mediates the relationship between social influence and pro-environmental behavior, revealing a complimentary mediation model superior to the direct effect model. Originality- These findings reveal that social influence and students’ environmental knowledge have a strong influence in cultivating students’ pro-environmental behavior. Furthermore, the complementary mediation model, which shows superior results than the direct effect model, contributes to the body of knowledge and offers new insights into theory and practice. Practical Implications- Environmental sustainability may be positioned as a social trend by government and business agencies, such as a promotional campaign, workshops, and training to demonstrate and raise awareness about environmental issues.
