Abstract

Purpose: This paper identifies the impacts of port characteristics and port-logistics integration on port performance in the case of Ethiopian dry ports. Research Methodology: To complete the study, we used structural equation modeling to test the relationship between port characteristics and port-logistics integration with port performance. Moreover, Statistical Package for Social Science is also used to filter indicators. Apart from this, the study was conducted in three dry ports of Ethiopia having a sample of 279 employees. Results: The finding shows that port characteristics such as port infrastructure, port connectivity, and port privatization have significantly impacted port performance. Also, port-logistics integration has an impact on both port operational performance and port efficiency. Limitations: The main limitation is that the study focused only on three dry ports of Ethiopia which do not include other dry ports in the country. Contribution: Ethiopia suffered forced dependency on transit countries after a blooded war with Eritrea which resulted in customs delays at port. To reduce this, the study suggests that Ethiopia should coordinate in developing joint infrastructures, and formulating unfettered rules and regulations with its transit countries.

An iterative hermeneutic process is followed to analyze the data collected. Results: The study revealed that less affluent people use counterfeit products mainly to reflect abhorrent sentiments toward foreign brands. This abhorrence leads to building resistance and resilience, which is primarily the production of counterfeit products. Limitations: The significance of this research paper can be limited by the respondent sample size, which was not so large for concluding. Moreover, the data were only collected from the respondents of Dhaka City because of its time limitation, which results in making our study narrow. Contribution: This study will help scholars and academicians as well as market researchers to get depth understanding of why counterfeit consumption is acceptable to less affluent consumers. And, this empirical study will also have detailed the perceptions of less affluent customers regarding the consumption of foreign brands. As no prior papers have discussed the different aspects of counterfeit consumption by less affluent consumers, this paper will add new insight into the topic of academia.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the nexus between flexible working arrangements (FWA) and the productivity of the selected workplaces across the 6 geo-political zones in Nigeria. Research methodology: The descriptive survey design was used, with a population of 600 businesses in chosen states throughout Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. Using the statistical procedure developed by Krejcie and Morgan (1970), a sample size of 234 was found. Data was acquired from primary sources, and descriptive (mean) and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data with a 5% level of significance. Results: Flexible work arrangements had a positive statistical effect on workplace productivity (R2 = 0.882359, F = 1545.089, p-value = 0.05). Limitations: One state does not efficiently represent the geopolitical zones. Contribution: FWA can influence the development of business policies and strategies as revealed in the study. As such, businesses must adapt and invest in strategies that support and facilitate FWA such as information and technology systems, as they have become crucial to both staff and workplace viability.
