Abstract

In the era of globalization and technology-driven business environment, it is becoming more and more important to have a better understanding about how behavioral factors are perceived in the context of countries’ business practices. This research examines the impact of behavioral factors on business practices across nations, highlighting the role of digital transformation as a mediating factor. Based on a quantitative approach, the research was developed among international business practitioners and analyzed using SPSS. Findings show national business practices are significantly impacted by both cultural values and communication styles. Moreover, digital transformation was found to mediate these relationships, helping to optimize the way behavioral factors are translated into successful business strategies. Results reveal the applicability of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions theory and point out that digital readiness enhances organizational adaptability and cross-cultural management and performance. By exploring the intersection of behavior and technology, the study provides practical insights for global managers and policy makers aiming to align cultural awareness with digital advancement in shaping sustainable international business practices.

Abstract

Amid ongoing economic challenges, this paper analyzes how fiscal and monetary policies have influenced the resilience and growth of the Philippine education sector, with emphasis on public sector accounting perspectives related to budget accountability, transparency, and government expenditure effectiveness. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach based on secondary data, the study highlights that increased government spending helped sustain learning continuity, improve digital infrastructure, and support post-pandemic recovery. From an accounting perspective, education fund allocation and utilization require accountable reporting, performance-based budgeting, and evaluation of whether public expenditure produces measurable educational and social outcomes. These findings align with the Keynesian Intertemporal Synthesis (KIS-CES) model, which emphasizes the multiplier effects of public investment, particularly in education. Monetary policy also played an indirect role, as accommodative measures by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas helped create a stable macroeconomic environment that supported education financing. However, inflation and reduced household purchasing power continue to affect access and equity. The study also supports Human Capital Theory and Endogenous Growth Theory, which view education as a driver of long-term development. Overall, the results affirm the need for sustained, inclusive, coordinated, and accountable policy actions.

Abstract

Philippine private higher education institutions (HEIs) operate in a constrained environment where the delivery of a public-good service is closely tied to tuition dependence, enrollment uncertainty, and cost pressures that are difficult to pass on to families. In this context, this study examined how corporate social responsibility (CSR) was integrated into the governance and operating practices of private HEIs facing financial and competitive pressure. Using a multiple- case, mixed-method design, the research analyzed how CSR priorities were embedded in board oversight, budgeting, monitoring routines, student support systems, and institutional reporting. The findings showed that while most institutions articulated CSR commitments clearly, meaningful differences emerged in governance discipline rather than in values language. CSR initiatives were more stable in HEIs where responsibilities were supported by formal policies, protected budget lines, and routine review processes, particularly under tuition dependence and enrollment volatility. The study also found uneven credibility in CSR reporting, with recruitment pressures sometimes blurring reporting and promotion. Institutions with clearer indicators, assigned data ownership, and basic review controls produced more credible disclosures, even when reporting fewer items. Stakeholder trust was most strongly associated with education- specific responsibilities directly experienced by students and staff, including scholarship transparency, student welfare systems, fair academic procedures, and accessible learning support.
