Abstract

This study aims to answer the question of how much tourism destination managers in Indonesia have implemented a sustainability context by adopting the criteria that have been standardized in the global sustainable tourism council destination (GSTC-D) policy. This study uses a bibliometric method approach. The findings of the study are that out of 21 international studies indexed by Scopus, only 6 (six) studies focus on the development and management of sustainable tourism destinations in Indonesia using the GSTC-D approach. So this is a big challenge that needs to be faced together by both tourism destination managers and the Government and communities around tourist destinations to support each other in realizing sustainable tourism destinations throughout Indonesia. The conclusion is that subsequent research can study the management of sustainable tourism destinations in the cultural sector such as protection of cultural heritage, visiting cultural sites because Indonesia is rich in local wisdom, as well as studies on environmental impacts such as nature tourism conservation, resource management, and waste and emission management

Abstract

Globalization and the development of information technology have changed the dynamics of marketing, requiring companies to continuously adapt and innovate. This study aims to analyze the influence of marketing strategy and word of mouth on purchase decisions at PT Inti Sanho Utama Teknologi, Medan. Using a quantitative approach, the study involved 34 respondents selected through purposive sampling, collecting primary data through an online questionnaire based on the Likert scale. Statistical analysis using multiple linear regression, normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests was performed with the help of SPSS software version 21.0. The results revealed that word of mouth had a significant influence on purchase decisions with a coefficient of 0.446 and a significance value of 0.028, while marketing strategy did not show a significant influence. The determination coefficient showed that marketing strategy and word of mouth were simultaneously able to explain 35% of the variation in purchasing decisions, with 65% influenced by factors outside the research model. These findings underscore the importance of personalized recommendations and consumer experiences in the context of technology distribution. The research contribution lies in the development of a more sophisticated conceptual framework for understanding the dynamics of purchasing decisions in the digital age, with practical implications for technology companies' marketing strategies. Research recommends focusing on building trust through word of mouth and authentic consumer experiences.

Abstract

Rising population comes with consequences, but we are concern about the health implications of this trend especially in regards to Nigeria, hence the need to interrogate population growth and healthcare financing in Nigeria: causality and policy implications, between year 2000 to 2022. Time series data were sourced from relevant organisations. The study explored the Auto Regressive Distributed lag model approach and Granger causality test for estimation. Outcome of the ARDL indicated that, the employment status of Nigerians citizens has noteworthy effect on healthcare financing in the future and population growth, educational expenditure and unemployment rate are all influential on healthcare financing in the interim. While the Granger causality test indicated a unidirectional causality between; population growth and healthcare financing, population growth and educational expenditure, unemployment rate and population growth, gross domestic product per capita and unemployment rate and a weak causality between unemployment rate and healthcare financing. While there was no causation between healthcare financing and gross domestic product per capita, educational expenditure and healthcare financing, educational expenditure and gross domestic product per capita, unemployment rate and healthcare financing and unemployment rate and educational expenditure. It is on this premise that the following suggestions where arrived at; budgetary allocation to the health and educational sector should be done in reflection to the rising population and that skills acquisition should go along with the educational curriculum to enhance the chances for economic mobility.

Abstract

Teff is a major cereal crop extensively cultivated in Gombora Woreda of Hadiya Zone, Central Ethiopia. Despite its importance, significant disparities in productivity exist among teff-producing farmers, largely due to differences in resource use efficiency. This study aimed to assess the level of economic efficiency in teff production and to identify key sources of inefficiencies among smallholder farmers in the study area. The research was based on primary cross-sectional data collected from 185 randomly selected producers using a two-stage sampling technique. A Stochastic Frontier Model (SFM) was employed to estimate economic efficiency levels and identify influencing factors. The results revealed that the mean economic efficiency of teff producers was 41.9%, indicating that there is potential to enhance output by 58.1% through improved resource allocation and utilization under existing technological conditions. The Stochastic Frontier Production (SFP) function identified several factors that significantly influenced economic inefficiency, including education level, soil fertility, livestock ownership, farm size, off-farm income, extension contact, training, and distance to market. Notably, farm size and distance to the nearest market were found to positively and significantly impact economic inefficiency, suggesting that larger and more remote farms face greater challenges in optimizing resource use. The findings highlight a considerable scope for improving economic efficiency among teff producers through interventions aimed at enhancing both technical and allocative efficiency. Strengthening extension services, improving market access, and promoting farmer training are recommended to boost productivity and ensure sustainable teff production in the study area.

Abstract

Human capital development, healthcare financing and institutional quality are key variables that affect the growth of the economy, especially for a developing economy which Nigeria belongs to. This study interrogates the nexus between human capital development, healthcare financing and institutional quality in Nigeria between 1996 to 2023. Using the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model approach. Outcome indicated that; futuristically, educational expenditure exhibited positive and significant effect on institutional quality index in Nigeria. Additionally, healthcare expenditure exhibited negative and significant effect on institutional quality in Nigeria. And out of pocket expenditure showed negative and insignificant effect on institutional quality in Nigeria. However, in the short run, outcome indicated that, healthcare expenditure exhibited negative and significant effect on institutional quality in the short run, on the other hand, out of pocket expenditure showed to have positive and insignificant effect on institutional quality index. On this premise, the study suggested that concern authorities should revisit Nigeria’s healthcare financing model, strive to enhance budgetary allocation to the educational and health sector this might improve the quality of human capital and improve the aggregate health of the citizens. Nigeria needs strong institutions to manage funds allocated to the educational and health sector effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of tax revenue in Banteay Meanchey Province, Cambodia, by analyzing the effects of business sector, taxpayer category, and their interactions. Using a mixed-design ANOVA, it analyzes tax revenue from small and medium taxpayers in the Industry, Services, and Agriculture sectors during 2017–2024. The results show significant sectoral differences, with Services and Industry generating substantially higher revenue than Agriculture, reflecting greater formalization, capital intensity, and profit orientation. The taxpayer category effect is nuanced: small and medium taxpayers do not differ significantly in isolation, but after controlling for sectoral composition, small taxpayers contribute significantly less revenue than medium taxpayers, indicating sector-dependent contributions. Interaction effects further reveal that both small and medium taxpayers in Industry and Services outperform their agricultural counterparts, underscoring the amplifying role of sectoral context in revenue generation. Temporal effects are largely insignificant; however, the sharp decline and uneven recovery observed in 2020, associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, highlight the importance of sectoral and taxpayer heterogeneity in fiscal resilience. Overall, the findings support a differentiated, sector-sensitive tax policy that prioritizes medium taxpayers in Services and Industry as core revenue anchors and incorporates sector–taxpayer interactions.

Abstract

Employee engagement has become a central concept in Human Resource Management (HRM) research due to its role in enhancing employee performance and organizational sustainability. This study employed a content analysis approach to review research trends related to employee engagement, particularly those examining work-life balance and leadership perspectives. A total of 50 peer-reviewed studies published between 2014 and 2025 were analyzed based on research design, antecedent variables, organizational context, theoretical frameworks, and methodological approaches. The findings indicate a significant increase in employee engagement research in recent years, with quantitative cross-sectional designs dominating the literature. Work-life balance and servant leadership emerged as the most frequently examined antecedents of employee engagement, while employee performance remained the primary outcome variable. Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) Theory was identified as the dominant theoretical framework. Based on the findings, this study proposes methodological and contextual recommendations for future employee engagement research.
