Abstract

This paper focuses on financial inclusion (FI), a fast-embracing topic with potential drivers of economic growth and the improvement of individual financial well-being. This study contributes to the existing literature by analysing how financial inclusion influences stock market participation (SMP) in Nepal, explicitly emphasising the intermediary role of economic knowledge. The study employed a causal-comparative research design, and the data were collected from 403 individual investors actively participating in the Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) trading. The statistical tools used to meet the objectives of this research are descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and structure equation modelling. The study results show that FI and knowledge influence individual investor participation in the stock market. The result also indicates that FI is positively related to stock market activity, while it is essential to enhance citizens' FK significantly. Further, mediation analysis shows that FK partially mediates the relationship between FI and SMP. This suggests its pivotal role in narrowing the gap between access to financial services and actual investment behaviour. These findings underscore the critical role of FI in creating an inclusive and participatory financial ecosystem within Nepal. Longitudinal data in future research can capture the evolving dynamics of FI and its long-term impact on SMP.

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.
