Abstract

Purpose: Consistent with Sustainable Development Goal 8, this study explores the role of supportive ecosystems in nurturing resilient startups and entrepreneurship in Zimbabwe post-COVID-19. Research Methodology: Comprehensive relevant literature drawing on Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ProQuest, and JSTOR was conducted using the Zimbabwe case as the investigative context. Drawing on published peer-reviewed articles and official reports as data sources, fifty-eight articles and reports were thoroughly assessed for this study. Results: The findings revealed that barriers to the growth of startups and entrepreneurial enterprises in Zimbabwe include difficulties in accessing finances, inadequate institutional support, a deficiency of mentorship networks, economic instability, infrastructure deficiencies, regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles, market constraints, and limited consumer purchasing power. The study also noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has created digital transformation and innovation opportunities for startups. Conclusion: This study concludes that the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Zimbabwe is weak and lacks most of the fundamental principles necessary for a thriving entrepreneurial environment. Limitations: Overreliance on secondary data: Depending solely on secondary data sources without primary research may limit the depth of insights and understanding of local nuances and contexts. Contribution: This study emphasizes the value of encouraging public-private partnerships and global alliances to support entrepreneurial ecosystems. This strategy can boost social inclusion, increase job opportunities, and promote economic growth. This study argues that fostering a supportive environment for startups and entrepreneurship can significantly empower emerging economies during post-pandemic recovery efforts.

Abstract

Purpose: The tourism industry in Bangladesh presents a promising avenue for economic expansion and employment generation. Many undergraduate students in Bangladesh work part-time or full-time in this field while studying. This study aims to explore the factors that determine the job satisfaction of these tourism and hospitality undergraduate students, addressing a gap in existing research. Research Methodology: A convenience sample of 118 undergraduate students from five universities was surveyed using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to assess the impact of various factors on job satisfaction. Results: The findings reveal that compensation and benefits, communication, opportunities for growth, and the nature of the work significantly influence job satisfaction, whereas work environment and company policy have a comparatively weaker association. Limitations: The small sample size and the use of a non-probability sampling method have limited the generalizability of the present study, which may not fully represent the broader student workforce in the tourism sector. Contribution: This research provides actionable insights for industry leaders and HR professionals in the tourism and hospitality sector, helping them to better understand and enhance job satisfaction among student employees. Novelty: This is the first comprehensive study to investigate the determinants of job satisfaction among tourism and hospitality undergraduate students in Bangladesh who are currently engaged in academic studies and employment.

Abstract

Purpose: The main objective of this study is to determine the scenario of e-waste management from a global and Bangladeshi perspective and navigate potential business prospects in the procedure of e-waste management minimizing health hazards. Research Methodology: The research was conducted by collecting data from reports and research papers from different international and national sources, interviews with 500 residents of Dhaka City, and five no. of recycling companies in Bangladesh. Upon descriptive analysis of the scenarios of global and Bangladeshi e-waste management, we tried to establish a relationship between proper e-waste management and business prospects. Results: The study found that home appliances and cell phones form the majority of e-waste. Informal recycling practices are responsible for high environmental and health risks. Moving towards a structured, formal recycling process can bring significant economic benefits in the form of employment opportunities and recovery of resources from e-waste. Conclusions: Effective e-waste management, supported by advanced technology and strong policy enforcement, is essential for protecting health and the environment while generating economic and employment opportunities. Limitations: The sample for the interview was taken from Dhaka City only. A larger population could make the study richer. Contribution: The study suggests setting up advanced recycling facilities and transforming entire e-waste management practices through internationally and cooperatively adopted sustainable measures. It emphasizes developing proactive policies and enhancing public awareness of proper e-waste management with a view to effectively facing the challenges and grabbing the business opportunities available from the e-waste management process. Novelty: This research has tried to bring out economic benefits and business opportunities from the process of e-waste management. It highlights that structured and sustainable e-waste management fosters economic growth, mitigates health hazards, and saves the environment.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of financial mechanisms on improving the efficiency of small businesses and private entrepreneurship, focusing on their role in economic development in Uzbekistan, particularly in the Samarkand region. Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative analysis of official statistics with historical-comparative and financial performance evaluations. Data were collected from national and regional reports, and descriptive statistics were used to assess trends in gross regional product contributions and business activity levels. Results: The findings demonstrate that small businesses consistently contribute more than 70% to the gross regional product and play a vital role in employment and industrial output. However, persistent challenges in financial accessibility, regulatory implementation, and innovation hinder full potential. The study recommends enhancing financial infrastructure, expanding credit options, and improving entrepreneurial education to support long-term sectoral growth.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated hotel managers perceptions of sustainability practices adopted in the hotel sector in Zimbabwe, focusing on hotels in Mutare. The issue of sustainable business practices is driving modern-day business operations, and hotels are leading the adoption of sustainable tourism practices. Managers perceive the adoption of sustainable tourism practices in varied or indifferent manners. This study focused on identifying the extent to which hotels in Zimbabwe have adopted sustainable practices, the impacts of adopting these practices, the challenges hotels face when adopting these practices, and the strategies hotels implement when adopting these practices. Research Methodology: A qualitative research design was used to understand hotel managers’ perceptions regarding the adoption of sustainable tourism practices, with interviews being used to collect data. The study’s population comprised managerial employees and supervisors of selected hotels in Mutare, Zimbabwe. Results: The findings revealed that the implementation of sustainable practices has a positive impact on hotel operations in terms of reduced consumption of water and energy, waste reduction, promotion of the local economy, and empowerment of societies. Conclusion: Hotels in Mutare perceive sustainability as highly beneficial, not only for cost savings and environmental protection but also for competitive advantages. Training, guest involvement, and certification emerged as essential strategies, whereas resistance, high costs, and lack of knowledge were noted as barriers. Limitations: The study used only hotel managers in Mutare to represent all hotel managers in Zimbabwe, and it was purely qualitative. Contributions: The study concluded that waste management undertakings, such as recycling, re-use, or sale of processed or unprocessed waste substances, can also contribute towards efficiency.

Abstract

Purpose: The study aims to investigate the impact of Government Support on revitalizing the Environmental and Financial Performance of Tourism MSMEs with the Resource Advantage theory perspective. Methodology/approach: Data were collected from 384 TMSMEs through a snowball sampling technique using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Three multiple linear regression models were constructed to investigate the impact of Government Support as an independent variable on performance as a dependent variable, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to analyze the data. Results/findings: The results indicate that both Government Financial (GFS) and Non-Financial Support (GNFS) significantly influence the financial and environmental performance of TMSMEs at a 5% level. Moreover, GFS shows a slightly high impact on financial performance GNFS, although both supports show a significant impact on revitalizing the performance of businesses in emerging economies. Conclusion: The study concludes that government financial and non-financial support are critical determinants of tourism MSME performance. Strengthened support not only enhances financial viability but also fosters environmental accountability, aligning with the principles of sustainable development. Limitations: The study focused on TMSMEs in selected emerging tourism regions of Sri Lanka, a least-developed economy, using a quantitative approach. Business performance was assessed through subjective measures due to owners' reluctance to disclose financial data. Contribution: The study contributes to R-A theory by highlighting how government support strengthens firms' resource capabilities, leading to superior performance. It also facilitates policymakers, tourism entrepreneurs, and regulators in fostering regional development by revitalizing TMSMEs, reducing socio-economic disparities, and increasing per capita income.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined stakeholder engagement and organisational interest in ecotourism development at Brumas Forest Plantation, Sabah. It explored local communities’ perceptions, participation barriers, and the role of Sabah Softwoods Berhad (SSB) in promoting sustainable tourism initiatives. Research Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating survey, interview, and focus group discussion (FGD). Data were collected from 250 local residents and nine SSB personnel. Quantitative data were analysed using SPSS, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti. Results: 88.4% of the respondents recognised the ecotourism potential but only 19.2% actively participated. Main barriers included poor infrastructure (74.0%), limited promotion (69.6%), and insufficient government support (66.8%). Despite this, communities expressed interest if structured programmes, training, and economic incentives were provided. SSB supported ecotourism but emphasised the need for clear policies and collaborative frameworks. Conclusion: Effective development requires coordinated stakeholder engagement, strategic planning, and community empowerment. Corporate efforts alone are insufficient without addressing local barriers and governance support. Limitations: The study was limited to Brumas, reducing generalisability to other contexts. Contributions: This research integrates community and corporate views to offer practical strategies for bridging the gap between ecotourism potential and participation. It contributes to literature on sustainable tourism, rural development, and CSR.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on enterprise growth and the mediating effect of entrepreneurial passion on the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and enterprise growth of small and medium enterprises (SMES) in South Eastern Nigeria. Research Methodology: To achieve the objectives of the study, primary data were obtained using a questionnaire from a sample size of 399 SME owners in the in South Eastern States of Nigeria, comprising five States; Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. The data collected were analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4. Results: The results of the analysis revealed no positive relationship between ESE and EG (? =0.198, t = 1.284, p < 0.00). A positive significant relationship exist between ESE and EP  (? = 0.953, t = 149.478, 0.000). EP had a significant and positive effect on EG (? =0.470, t = 3.088, p<0.02). The mediation results revealed full mediation of EP in the relationship between ESE and EG (t = 3.093, P < 0.002). Conclusion: The study concludes that ESE alone does not directly enhance EG, but when mediated by EP, it significantly contributes to the success of SMEs. Therefore, entrepreneurial passion is essential for translating self-efficacy into enterprise growth. Limitations: The study is limited to 399 SME owners in South-Eastern Nigeria, restricting broader generalization to SMEs in other regions or contexts. Contributions: This study provides a fundamental framework for understanding the interplay between ESE, EP, and EG. This study enhances the literature by highlighting the mediating role of passion, informing policy reviews, and offering practical guidance for SME owners and entrepreneurs to strengthen growth strategies through tested entrepreneurial methods.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how beach attributes influence preferences among resident recreationists in Mombasa County, Kenya, and explores how recreationists' characteristics moderate these preferences. Methodology/approach: A survey of 77 frequent beachgoers (visiting ?3 times weekly) was conducted at four beaches using enumerator-administered questionnaires. Descriptive statistics profiled demographics, exploratory factor analysis assessed environmental attitudes, conjoint analysis evaluated beach profile preferences (cleanliness, safety, congestion), and binary logistic regression examined moderating effects of demographics and attitudes. Results/findings: Clean, litter-free, patrolled, and uncrowded beaches were strongly preferred. Heavy litter and the absence of patrols significantly detracted from appeal, while congestion moderately reduced preferences. Gender significantly moderated the influence of congestion, highlighting differing valuations between male and female recreationists. These findings underscore the need for targeted management strategies to enhance beach experiences. Conclusion: The study reveals that extreme levels of key beach attributes-cleanliness, patrolling frequency, and congestion-significantly influence recreationists' preferences. Limitations: The cross-sectional design limits insights into the evolution of preferences over time. Longitudinal studies are recommended to assess how environmental education, management changes, and societal norms influence preferences. Additionally, the context-specific findings suggest a need for comparative studies across diverse regions. Contribution: This study contributes empirical evidence on resident beach preferences, an often-overlooked segment in tourism research. By applying conjoint analysis, it provides nuanced insights into how varying levels of cleanliness, safety, and congestion shape preferences, offering actionable guidance for beach management and policy.
