The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Employee Attitudes and Behaviors: Conceptual Paper
No full textIn the recent years, it can be noticed that different scholars were still continue to look at the concept of CSR in different perspectives. In 1970, where Milton Friedman decided to write an article where he provoke by disputing the responsibilities of corporations. After that academicians start to look at the concept of CSR in more details, and made a move from the debating room where they were mainly discussing about the legitimacy of CSR to the room of understanding it more. But, most of the researches which have been conducted with regard to CSR they were mainly focusing on macro perspective, where you will be able to find most of the scholars were focusing on the relationship that exists between CSR initiatives and financial performance

The Role of Decision-Making Process on Strategic Foreign Direct Investment
No full textThis thesis is to uniquely explore the global competition in foreign direct investment [FDI] decision-making processes of Northern Iraq. The Global Competition in Strategic (GCS) in the northern Iraq is uncertain in a global context. GCS is huge in the world and often do not have sufficient resources to fully investigate a major FDI decision. If learning to gain contextual competence is necessary for successful FDI decision-making, how do these firms manage their learning and competencies to invest successfully in the northern Iraq? The main objective of this study addresses the decision-making processes of Global Competition and Strategies for FDI in northern Iraq, how this takes place and how needed competencies are developed and managed

A study on Malaysia’s automobile industry focusing on Malaysian branded cars. However, before we embark to the details of this research, the paper will give a synopsis of the study. Initially this will highlight commence with a research background followed by a problem statement then significance of the study which will eventually be trailed with the research questions, research objectives and lastly, limitations will be elucidated
Decision-Making Process and Strategic Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) : A Literature Review
No full textThis paper is to uniquely explore the global competition in foreign direct investment [FDI] decision-making processes. The Global Competition in Strategic (GCS) is huge in the world and often do not have sufficient resources to fully investigate a major FDI decision. If learning to gain contextual competence is necessary for successful FDI decision-making, how do these firms manage their learning and competencies to invest successfully in different contexts? The main objective of this paper addresses the decision-making processes of Global Competition and Strategies in a different context, how this takes place and how needed competencies are developed and managed.
Two main research questions, addressing areas of managerial interest, are investigated in depth, namely: What is the decision-making process for foreign direct investment by Global Competition in Strategies? How do owners’ managers of Global Competition in Strategies make such decision-making? The findings support a decision-making model that proposes and the marketing process is divided into phases.
These phases are of differing lengths and depths, largely depending on the type of management, and the decision-making speed can vary greatly between individual companies. The results indicate a distinction between Global Competition in Strategic managed directly by owners-managers and those managed by a board. The findings show current foreign direct investment and decision-making theory is at a watershed. Previously well-established theories are challenged as emerging markets, such as these countries “Turkey, Iran, northern Iraq, China, America, Abu-Dhabi, and so on”, require different approaches and market-entry must be considered as a developmental process, which is individual to a company. Overall the decision-making type can also vary within the same company and among decision-makers. Knowledge available beds, and influences, competencies and results in "decision-making" and "global competition in strategic foreign direct investment" based on rationality or experience
Green core competence and firm performance in a post‐conflict country, Iraq
No full textGreen core competence theory proposes that green core competence is needed for green innovation performance and, in turn, firm performance. We demonstrate that this theory applies in post-conflict Iraq where green innovation performance was conditional on commitment to sustainable management and development of green technology and skills. Data from 238 Iraqi executives showed that green product and process innovation performance increased with green core competence, but only when the firm invested in people and R&D or, in the case of green process innovation, top management demonstrated authentic commitment to sustainable practices. The moderation effects of R&D investment and top management commitment reflect the national context in Iraq, where R&D investment is low and management is often constrained by inflexible bureaucracy. As countries emerge from conflict, investment in modernization of companies' internal structure, management, and capacity for continuous improvement is required if core competence is to be translated into innovation performance
Self-Compassion Around the World: Measurement Invariance of the Short Form of the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-SF) Across 65 Nations, 40 Languages, Gender Identities, and Age Groups
No full textObjectives: The 12-item Self-Compassion Scale–Short Form (SCS–SF) is a widely used instrument for the assessment of self-compassion. To date, there have been few examinations of this instrument’s psychometric properties, particularly across nations and languages. Therefore, we used data from the Body Image in Nature Survey (BINS) to assess measurement invariance of the SCS–SF across nations, languages, gender identities, and age groups. Methods: Participants (N = 56,968) from 65 nations completed the SCS–SF in 40 languages. Using these data, we tested various hypothesised models of the SCS–SF in the total sample and, using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, tested for invariance of the optimal model across national groups, languages, gender identities, and age groups. Results: In the total dataset, we found that an 11-item, 2-factor model (i.e., SCS-11) provided best fit to the data, with the two factors tapping distinct constructs of compassionate and uncompassionate self-responding. The SCS-11 was found to be partially scalar invariant across national groups and languages, and fully scalar invariant across gender identities and age groups. There was wide variation in latent means for the two factors, particularly across national groups and languages. Further analyses showed negligible associations between the two factors and sociodemographic variables, including marital status, financial security, and urbanicity. Conclusions: Our results suggest that it may be possible to derive a stable 2-factor model of the SCS–SF for use in cross-cultural research, but also highlight the likelihood of cross-national and cross-linguistic variations in the way that self-compassion is understood.Full Tex
