Abstract

The bank with the appropriate capital adequacy ratio (CAR) is considered the more substantial bank that can meet its obligations and take risks. Thus, the bank management has to identify those factors influencing CAR. This study aims to identify the factors determining the CAR of commercial banks in Nepal. For this purpose, this study has used annual panel data of 6 joint venture commercial banks of Nepal from 2007 to 2021. This paper's regression analysis revealed that bank-specific factors significantly determine the capital adequacy ratio. Further, the study concluded that the financial performance measured by ROE and lending policy measured by the ratio of the total loan and advance to total assets (LTA) plays an inverse role. Liquidity LTD), management efficiency (ME), operational efficiency (OE), and the size of the bank (SIZE) play a positive role in determining the capital adequacy ratio. The bank's management can implement the findings of this paper to maintain a sufficient capital adequacy ratio. Further, the finding of this study can also be implemented by the regulatory bodies to develop policies relating to the capital requirements of commercial banks.

Abstract

This paper has assessed the determinants of the profitability of commercial banks operating in Nepal. The effect of macroeconomic as well as internal factors on profitability is estimated. For this purpose, ROA is used to measure a bank's profitability. Similarly, liquidity (LIQ), management efficiency (ME), assets quality (AQ), and operational efficiency (OE) are used as internal factors, and consumer price index (CPI), interest rate (IR), and growth rate of broad money supply (M2) are used as macro-economic factors. Based on the result of panel data analysis, this paper revealed that bank-specific and macroeconomic factors play an essential role in determining profitability. Further, this paper found that LIQ, ME, AQ, CPI, and IR substantially influence the profitability of banks operating in Nepal. Thus, this paper concluded that the bank management should improve its liquidity, efficiency of management, and quality of assets to improve profitability. Likewise, the bank management can benefit from increasing CPI and IR to improve profitability.

Abstract

Employees are the cornerstone of the organization. This research explores the relationship between the work environment and employee performance within cooperative societies in Nepal’s Karnali Province, specifically examining the mediating role of job satisfaction. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 404 cooperative employees via convenience sampling. The conceptual framework, grounded in Social Exchange Theory and Job Demands-Resources Theory, was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4.1.1.6. The empirical results reveal a significant positive correlation between the workplace environment and employee performance. Furthermore, the work environment was found to be a strong predictor of job satisfaction. The analysis confirms that job satisfaction serves as a partial mediator; essentially, a supportive physical, psychological, and social environment drives productivity both directly and indirectly by fostering higher satisfaction levels among personnel. These insights provide actionable guidance for cooperative managers and HR practitioners, highlighting cultivating a favorable work climate as a strategic lever for organizational success. By investigating a relatively overlooked regional and sector-specific context, this study addresses a notable gap in the empirical literature concerning the Nepalese cooperative industry and contributes to the broader understanding of organizational behavior in developing nations.
