Abstract

This mixed-methods comparative study explores entrepreneurship and business ethics education among young adults (20–30 years) in Bangalore, India, and Arizona, USA. Analyzing 200 participants (100 per region) through stratified random sampling, it highlights baseline disparities: Bangalore participants scored lower in entrepreneurial knowledge and ethical understanding compared to Arizona participants. Post-intervention, both groups showed significant improvements, with Bangalore participants experiencing notable gains in ethics knowledge, ethical scenario experience, and practical application interest. Arizona participants also improved ethics knowledge and scenario experience. Employment and socioeconomic differences were statistically significant. Using surveys, interviews, focus groups, and workshops, the study underscores cultural and institutional influences on learning, offering adaptive strategies to harmonize global standards with local contexts in entrepreneurship education.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of transformational leadership on employee performance in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) across Southeast Asia, focusing on Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. Employing a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, data were gathered from employees using validated scales such as the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Survey, Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument, and Employee Performance Scale. Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that transformational leadership positively impacts both job satisfaction and employee performance, with job satisfaction partially mediating this relationship. Organizational culture, particularly clan and hierarchy type, moderates these effects, with clan culture enhancing the leadership-satisfaction link and hierarchy culture diminishing the leadership-performance link. Cross-country differences indicate a stronger leadership-satisfaction effect in Malaysia. These findings highlight the pivotal role of leadership and culture in driving SME performance in Southeast Asia.
