Abstract

This study investigates the profound influence of management accounting systems (MAS) on the organizational performance of commercial banks in Nepal. Drawing upon a quantitative research design with a sample of 385 employees from Kathmandu Valley’s commercial banks, the research explores how key MAS components, namely, controlling and reporting, budgeting, decision-making, costing systems, and performance evaluation, collectively impact various dimensions of organizational success. The findings reveal a generally positive perception among employees regarding the effectiveness of these practices. Correlation analysis indicates moderate positive relationships between all management accounting practices and organizational performance, with budgeting demonstrating the strongest association. Regression analysis further confirms that controlling and reporting, budgeting, costing systems, and performance evaluation practices exert a significant positive impact on organizational performance. However, decision-making practices were found to have an insignificant impact within this model. This study presents crucial theoretical and practical implications, emphasizing the need for Nepalese commercial banks to strengthen their management accounting frameworks to improve operational efficiency, strategic decision-making, and competitive positioning in a dynamic financial context.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and corporate cash holdings by investigating the mediating role of firm efficiency among Indonesian non-financial firms from 2018 through 2022. Using 405 firm-year observations and a mediation-based panel regression analysis, we address the ongoing debate regarding whether ESG practices reduce or increase firms’ incentives to retain cash. The findings reveal that, while ESG performance does not directly affect corporate cash holdings, it significantly improves firm efficiency, and this improvement subsequently has a significant positive effect on cash holdings, indicating full mediation. Thus, ESG practices indirectly influence corporate liquidity policy by enhancing operational capability rather than solely through direct governance effects. More importantly, the positive relationship between firm efficiency and cash holdings indicates that operationally efficient firms tend to maintain large cash reserves as a form of strategic financial flexibility, so these cash reserves are not necessarily evidence of agency problems or inefficient resource allocation. In the context of emerging markets such as Indonesia’s, where external financing conditions remain relatively costly and volatile, efficient firms may intentionally accumulate cash to support sustainability investments, maintain resilience, and mitigate future financing constraints. This study contributes to the ESG-finance literature by highlighting the role of firm efficiency as an important transmission mechanism linking ESG practices and corporate liquidity policy, and it also provides evidence that cash holdings in emerging markets may reflect strategic preparedness and internal financing capacity rather than managerial opportunism.

Abstract

How Consumer Purchase Intentions are affected by Social Media Marketing (with a specific reference to Kathmandu Valley) This research is restricted to examining the correlation between social media marketing and consumer purchase intention, as well as providing an analysis of the impact of social media marketing on consumer buy intention. In order to determine the relationship between social media marketing and consumer purchase intention, two social media advertising campaigns have been examined using a quantitative research methodology as a basis for a casual comparative analysis. Only 350 respondents completed the 382 questionnaires that were distributed using Google Form Sharing, which is how the data utilised in this study were gathered. A five-point Likert scale base questionnaire for the variables is one of the sets of instruments put up for the study, along with demographic and general information questions for each of the three groups. These kinds of techniques are not the ideal choice, and quantitative research makes this clear when convenience or purposeful sampling is used to collect data (Yilmaz, 2013). Analysing Data. The coefficient of variation and Pearson's correlation were the two methods used to analyse the data. Conversely, whereas informativeness and buy intention have the most positive correlation with one another, perceived relevance and purchase intention have the lowest correlation. Purchase Intention is the dependent variable, and the five variables (Habit, Informativeness, Interactivity, Performance Expectancy, and Hedonic Motivation) have p-values less than 0.05, indicating that they positively influence it. In contrast, Perceived Relevance has a p-value greater than 0.05, indicating that it has no significant effect on Purchase Intention. Many stakeholders, including but not limited to marketers, business experts, and policy officials in developing nations like Nepal, benefit from this study. The results offer practical insights into how we might use various social media marketing elements to increase customer buy intentions.
