Results: A review of relevant studies reveals that management practices by walking around (MBWA) and its dimensions positively lead to organizational excellence. TQM mediates the relationship between MBWA and OE. Limitations: This study is limited to TQM, MBWA, and their dimensions in achieving organizational excellence. Contribution: This study provides a framework that can be used by corporate organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, and governments to develop predictive models and empirical research to evaluate the influences of MBWA mediated by TQM in achieving organizational excellence. Therefore, providing quality products and services will improve the lives of people. Originality: This study addresses calls for further study of MBWA and TQM in achieving organizational excellence. This research provides further understanding of the TQM nexus by exploring its influence on the relationship between the dimensions of MBWA and organizational excellence within the context of developing countries. This study is the first to use TQM as a mediator between MBWA and OE. The originality of this study comes from the researcher's ability to pinpoint how an organization can adopt the practices of MBWA complemented by the long-standing innovative tradition of Japanese management to achieve quality and excellence.

Abstract

Purpose: Knowledge management is becoming an area of interest for striving towards extensive organisational development. The key to organisational development in the current business environment depends on how much knowledge is shared to accommodate the resources. The article aims to investigate the use of knowledge-sharing approaches by organisations in Bangladesh, where the concept is relatively new and explore the deficiencies and gaps in this area. Research Methodology: The study is purely qualitative. For this review article, 40 articles about knowledge sharing and management have been reviewed to develop an understanding of the concept of KM and its application in the context of MNEs in Bangladesh. Results: As knowledge management is a new concept in Bangladesh and other developing countries, there is limited study about KM and KS. It is therefore crucial to develop an understanding of the concept of having a strong position in the competitive business environment. Hence, the need to address the gaps, barriers and challenges of knowledge sharing and knowledge management extends beyond literature and proceeds to accommodate the concepts further extending towards research in this field. Contribution: With the emergence of the concept of knowledge management, organisations are becoming more aware of the need to encourage KS and address the limitations. It is important to develop innovative methods, and processes to bring about positive changes in organisational demography, practices and policies. Furthermore, better knowledge management will enhance the profitability and performance of organisations in countries like Bangladesh and other developing countries. Novelty: As the concept is relatively new in Bangladesh, it is possible to expand its scope further in different industrial contexts. It is also possible to explore the use of knowledge-sharing tools for organisational development.

Abstract

Purpose: This research reviews blockchain technology's integration into modern financial systems, outlining its huge potential to bring about improvement in areas such as transparency, security, and operational efficiency. Based on the challenges of data integrity, fraud prevention, and reduction of intermediaries, the study assesses the transformational role of blockchain in financial institutions. Research Methodology: A mixed-methods approach was taken, where quantitative data from the surveys of 150 financial executives across different types of organizations were combined with qualitative insights from expert interviews. Such statistical analysis, complemented by thematic interpretation, could enable an integrated assessment of blockchain applications and related challenges in the financial sector. Results: The results reveal that blockchain significantly enhances the transparency and security of transactions, hence reducing fraud and manipulation of data. The respondents were very optimistic about the cost reductions due to the elimination of intermediaries. Yet, these are counterbalanced by barriers to wide diffusion, such as scalability issues, regulatory uncertainties, and technical integration complexities that reduce the full potential of blockchain. Limitations: The limitations of the study are the small sample size, which limits the generalization of findings. Further research with larger and more diverse samples is needed to investigate more comprehensively the impact of blockchain on the financial sectors. Contributions: The research, therefore, contributes to discourses on blockchain as a transformative finance technology, giving insights into useful strategic, policy, and technology issues. Novelty: It also presented both opportunities and challenges in view of realizing blockchain's role in digitizing financial ecosystems.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined workplace health and safety, social support, and turnover intention among faculty members in private higher education institutions in Region XII. This study aimed to assess these factors and their influence on faculty retention. Research Methodology: A descriptive quantitative research design was employed. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire that was validated and pilot-tested for reliability. The study involved 324 full-time faculty members from 20 private higher education institutions who were selected through stratified random sampling. Results: The findings revealed that workplace health and safety practices, social support, and turnover intention play significant roles in faculty retention. Specifically, institutions have high workplace health and safety levels and social support. However, turnover intention was reported to be low across the sample. Social support, particularly belonging support, was rated the highest, whereas turnover intention across various factors remained low. Limitations: This study was limited to private higher education institutions in Region XII, and the results may not be generalizable to other regions or types of educational institutions. Additionally, self-reporting could have introduced bias. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of faculty retention in private higher education institutions, highlighting key factors such as health, safety, and social support. Novelty: This research adds novel insights by focusing on the contextualized factors influencing faculty retention in Region XII, an area underrepresented in the existing literature.

Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the performance of the Human Development Index (HDI) improvement program in the Mesuji Regency and identifies factors that influence the dynamics of HDI achievement. Mesuji is a peripheral region that experiences a significant socio-economic lag within Lampung Province, Indonesia. Research Methodology: This study employs a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design, combining quantitative analysis of HDI data from the BPS with qualitative interpretation of contextual and policy factors affecting HDI outcomes. Results: From 2010 to 2022, Mesuji’s HDI steadily increased, driven by improvements in Life Expectancy, Education Index, and Gross National Income per Capita. Key drivers include improved healthcare services, educational expansion, job availability, infrastructure development, and pro-poverty policies. Conclusions: The program aimed at increasing the Human Development Index (HDI) in Mesuji Regency has shown positive results from 2010 to 2022, yet the region's HDI remains classified as "medium" compared to the national average. Limitations: The analysis was limited to the 2010–2022 period, excluding developments beyond this range. Contribution: This study contributes to challenges such as regional development disparities, high poverty rates, and unemployment, which still need to be addressed to achieve more equitable and sustainable development. Novelty: Despite positive growth, Mesuji’s HDI remains in the “medium” category, highlighting the need for strategic and sustained efforts in the health, education, and income sectors. Comprehensive interventions supported by inclusive policies are essential to accelerate HDI progress and reduce regional disparities.
