Abstract

ESG is a principle that prioritizes sustainable development, investment and business activities in accordance with three criteria, namely environmental, social and governance. ESG (environment, social, governance) scores are a benchmark for evaluating sustainability in an entity. ESG scores can be used to certify an entity's sustainable development and other types of sustainability. On the other hand, more and more literature is found showing that ESG scores are unable to measure sustainability in terms of sustainable development. The main reason this occurs is due to an entity's inability to understand ESG principles, resulting in greenwashing practices. In this literature review, descriptive qualitative methods are used. The aim of this literature review is to examine the challenges and problems related to ESG and the phenomenon of greenwashing practices. Indirectly, greenwashing practices increase ESG scores, but if we look at the proper factors, this can be considered to violate ESG principles. It is hoped that this literature review will help future research regarding ESG factors that influence business investment and sustainability.

Abstract

This study explores the key themes of trust-building in influencer-audience interactions on social media using a netnographic study. Living netnography explores trust-building, not just based on the actual posting in the social media, but through spiritual paradigm, that might construct the reality and values of trust. The analysis draws on three weeks of observational data from Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok, focusing on three influencers from different cultural and regional backgrounds. By lurking at the audiences’ comments and emojis on the influencer’s posting, this study provides five clusters of trust-building based on relevant codes emerged from the data. The findings suggest authenticity, emotional engagement, responsiveness, economic inclusivity and religiosity have explained the meaning of trust. By integrating theoretical and practical insights, the study provides a schematic framework for fostering trust in influencer marketing, highlighting the importance of cultural values in digital environment from the non-Western context perspective.

Abstract

Academic dishonesty continues to be a pressing issue in higher education, with ethical responsibility and social pressure playing key roles in shaping students' commitment to academic integrity. This study explores the influence of these factors on academic honesty among university students, utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze survey responses. Data were collected from 750 university students, with 95% of the responses deemed usable for analysis. The findings reveal that ethical responsibility serves as the strongest determinant of academic honesty, underscoring the pivotal role of intrinsic moral responsibility in ethical decision-making. In contrast, social pressure has a weaker yet statistically significant impact, suggesting that while peer influence affects students' ethical choices, it does not overshadow personal moral convictions. These results align with Rest’s four-component model of moral behavior and social learning theory, reaffirming the combined influence of internal values and external factors on ethical conduct. The study underscores the importance of ethics education, faculty role modelling, and institutional policies in fostering a culture of academic integrity within universities. While positive peer influence can reinforce ethical behavior, interventions should primarily focus on strengthening students’ internal moral responsibility.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of hedonic shopping, shopping lifestyle, and shopping motivation on impulse purchases among e-commerce consumers in Indonesia. With the rapid growth of Indonesia's e-commerce market, it is important to understand the psychological factors that drive consumer behavior. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to 112 respondents who are e-commerce users. Independent variables are hedonic shopping and shopping lifestyle, the dependent variable is impulse buying, and the moderating variable is shopping motivation. The results show that hedonic shopping and shopping motivation significantly and positively affect impulse purchases, while shopping lifestyle does not. Furthermore, shopping motivation cannot moderate the relationship between hedonic shopping and shopping lifestyle on impulse purchases. These findings underscore the importance of emotional experience and internal motivation in driving impulse purchases in e-commerce environments.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of employee well-being on employee retention. A quantitative survey method was employed to collect data from 154 employees out of a population of 250 in an agricultural product processing company. A five-point Likert-scale questionnaire, validated and tested for reliability, served as the primary instrument for data collection. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including simple linear regression at a 0.05 significance level using SPSS version 24.0. The results revealed a significant and positive relationship between employee well-being and retention. Employees who experience a higher sense of well-being are likelier to remain with the company. Furthermore, longer tenure is associated with more stable levels of well-being and retention. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing employee well-being as a strategic approach to fostering loyalty and minimizing turnover. Targeted managerial interventions, particularly during critical tenure periods, are essential for cultivating a sustainable and healthy work environment.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of distributive justice on intention to leave the job and to determine the mediating role of organizational cynicism in this relationship. To this end, the perceptions of distributive justice, organizational cynicism, and intention to leave the job were measured among administrative and healthcare employees of private hospitals. The main population of the study consists of employees of private hospitals operating in Gaziantep. The sample of the research consists of healthcare and administrative staff of private hospitals in the Şahinbey and Şehitkamil districts of Gaziantep. The analysis results indicated that distributive justice had a negative and significant effect on intention to leave, distributive justice had a negative and significant effect on organizational cynicism, and organizational cynicism had a positive and significant effect on intention to leave. When adding the mediating role of organizational cynicism to the model when measuring the effect of distributive justice on intention to leave, this effect was reduced according to the simple linear regression results.

Abstract

This study investigates how Sabahan perceive and respond to cybersecurity risks when using mobile banking. This study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and focused on four main factors: user awareness and behavior (UAB), mobile device security (MDS), banking app security features (BASF), and perceived cybersecurity threats (CT). A total of 350 questionnaires were distributed, and 286 valid responses were analyzed. The results indicate that UAB, MDS, and BASF all play a significant role in shaping cybersecurity risk awareness (CRA), while CT showed little to no direct effect. These findings suggest that improving user education and promoting secure practices are just as important as technical safeguards. In particular, enhancing digital literacy among less tech-savvy users, ensuring that security features are simple to use, and strengthening device protections can all help reduce risks of cybersecurity. The study concludes that a combination of user-focused education and stronger security standards is necessary to improve the overall safety of mobile banking services.

Abstract

This study tried to determine the application of artificial intelligence-based technologies (AI) in the corporate industry focusing on the opportunities and challenges encountered by administrative professionals in Metro Manila. Findings showed that AI-based technologies present significant opportunities which heighten knowledge, skills, productivity, and efficiency. However, it also presents significant challenges like adaptability and flexibility issues in the change of work practices. The study suggests that workplaces should provide a centralized and accessible knowledge database, establish a clear and transparent data policy, create a robust support system, and implement regular assessments of employee skills. With AI integration, administrative professionals will need to acquire higher-order skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, and AI management. Administrative roles will require expertise in terms of AI compliance, cyber-security and financial data interpretation. Educational institutions may also enhance their curriculum and program offerings by designing interdisciplinary AI courses that merge business administration with data science, ethics, and digital literacy.
