Abstract

Purpose: This study uniquely integrates systematic review and qualitative analysis to contextualise TRM within the NGO environment, to understand how reward systems influence employees’ decisions to remain with their organizations. Methodology: A qualitative approach was adopted, beginning with a systematic review of existing literature to identify reward practices linked to employee retention across sectors. This was followed by a thematic analysis of data drawn from a diverse range of non-profit/NGO organizations to examine prevailing TRM practices and their effects on employee retention. Results and Findings: The findings indicate that TRM practices are both directly and indirectly associated with employee retention. Employees are more likely to remain in organizations that offer well-balanced combinations of monetary and non-monetary rewards. The study also reveals that organizational context, including institutional characteristics, funding arrangements, and workforce composition, significantly moderates the effectiveness of TRM practices. Novelty: By integrating systematic review evidence with qualitative insights, this study introduces a novel approach to examining Talent Relationship Management (TRM) practices within the non-profit/NGO sector. Originality: This research contributes to the limited empirical literature on TRM in the non-profit/NGO sector, emphasizing the importance of context-specific reward strategies in fostering employee retention. Conclusion: The study concludes that strategically aligned and context-sensitive TRM practices are essential for improving employee retention and supporting sustainable talent management in non-profit/NGO organizations. Type of Paper: Research article.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the adoption of remote work in Nigerian public agencies, focusing on the challenges and opportunities associated with teleworking in a sector traditionally centered on office-based operations. The study aims to provide insights into how remote work can be effectively implemented to enhance productivity, employee satisfaction, and organizational flexibility. Methodology: A qualitative research approach was adopted, involving semi-structured interviews with HR managers, policymakers, and employees across various public agencies. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring patterns, perceptions, and organizational experiences related to remote work adoption. Results and Findings: The study reveals that while remote work offers opportunities such as increased flexibility, improved work-life balance, and potential cost savings, several challenges hinder its adoption. Key barriers include inadequate ICT infrastructure, lack of formal remote work policies, and low digital literacy among employees. Organizational culture and supervisory practices were found to significantly influence employees’ willingness and ability to engage in telework. Originality: This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on remote work in the Nigerian public sector, highlighting contextual factors unique to government agencies and offering practical insights for HRM practitioners. Conclusion: Strategically planned remote work policies, supported by technological investments and capacity-building initiatives, are essential to successfully integrate teleworking in Nigerian public sector.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the impact of fuel subsidy removal on the Nigerian economy, with particular emphasis on food prices, standard of living, and poverty levels among citizens. Methodology: A survey research design was adopted. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews administered to selected respondents. Descriptive analytical techniques were used to assess the socio-economic effects of subsidy removal. Results: The findings revealed that fuel subsidy removal has significantly increased food prices, leading to higher costs of basic commodities. It also negatively affected the standard of living, as households faced increased financial pressure and declining purchasing power. Findings: The study established that subsidy removal ha contributed to rising poverty levels by increasing the overall cost of living. Sectors such as transportation and food distribution were most affected, resulting in a general rise in the prices of goods and services. Novelty: The study provides household-level empirical evidence that highlights citizens’ lived socio-economic experiences following subsidy removal. Originality: It contributes to existing literature by directly linking subsidy removal to food inflation, reduced living standards, and poverty escalation using primary data. Conclusion: Fuel subsidy removal has had adverse socio-economic consequences for Nigerian households. Type of Paper: Research article.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyses the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on stock returns, with stock risk—measured by volatility—introduced as a moderating factor. Methodology: Using a sample of 33 companies listed in the IDX ESG Leaders and SRI-KEHATI indices between 2021 and 2023, ESG data were derived from the CESGS Universitas Airlangga dataset, returns were calculated through capital gains, and volatility was estimated from standard deviations of monthly returns. Panel regression with a Fixed Effect Model was employed. Results: Findings demonstrate that ESG performance negatively affects stock returns, and this negative impact intensifies in conditions of higher volatility. Findings: These results suggest that investors in Indonesia prioritise short-term financial risk over sustainability credentials, which weakens the signalling role of ESG. Novelty: This research introduces volatility as a moderator in the ESG–return nexus and provides evidence from ESG-specific indices in Indonesia (IDX ESG Leaders and SRI-KEHATI). Originality: The research highlights the Indonesian market context, showing that ESG has not yet emerged as a positive driver of stock returns. Conclusion: The study highlights that ESG in emerging markets requires stronger regulatory support and enhanced disclosure to translate sustainability practices into financial value.. Type of Paper: Research article.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of brand image, brand trust, and brand loyalty on purchase intention of Wardah products. Methodology: By using quantitative research with hypothesis testing, this study involved a sample of 156 respondents who used Wardah skincare products. Primary data for research was obtained through questionnaires. The analysis methods used include multiple linear regression, coefficient of determination (R²), coefficient of correlation and determination, t-test, F-test, and classical assumption tests, using WarpPLS 7.0 software. Results: The results of this study indicate that brand image, brand trust, and brand loyalty have a significant effect on the purchase intention of Wardah skincare products. In addition, brand image also has a considerable role in influencing the purchase intention of Wardah skincare products. However, perceived quality does not have a significant influence on the purchase intention of Wardah skincare products. Findings: The findings confirm that brand image, trust, and loyalty are key drivers of purchase intention, while perceived quality appears to be less influential in this specific context. Novelty & Originality: The novelty of this study lies in the simultaneous examination of brand image, brand trust, brand loyalty, and perceived quality within a single framework for a local halal cosmetic brand in Indonesia. Its originality emerges from the empirical testing of these variables in the context of Wardah products, a leading Indonesian halal skincare brand that has received limited academic scrutiny. Conclusions: The study concludes that strengthening brand image, trust, and loyalty is essential for enhancing consumer purchase intention, while perceived quality may not be a primary concern for this product category. Type of Paper: This paper is an empirical research paper.
