CAATTs adoption in Malaysian big 4 audit firms / Ravinder Kaur Harminder Singh
No full textTechnology has significantly revolutionised and altered countless businesses and facets of life, and the auditing field is no exception. The advent of various tools and innovations has transformed operational aspects and overall effectiveness within this crucial sector. The audit industry is evolving, incorporating tools like Computer Assisted Audit Tools and Techniques (CAATTs). However, the implementation of CAATTs in Malaysia is not as widespread and methodical as it could be, despite their potential to improve audit processes and outcomes. This study explores the adoption of CAATTs in Malaysian Big 4 audit firms using the Technology, Organization, and Environment (TOE) framework. It utilises a qualitative approach, featuring semi-structured in-depth interviews with diverse auditors from Malaysian Big 4 firms. This study reveals the use of both in-house and commercially available CAATTs and various factors influencing their adoption. Key findings include the existence of technological divide, with younger auditors being savvier with newer tools. This research underscores the necessity for firms to adopt specific technological strategies and highlights the importance of managerial support in managing the psychological demands related to CAATTs implementation. Focusing on Malaysia, this research enriches existing knowledge by understanding the changing landscape of auditing in the age of digital transformation. It provides deeper insights through interview-based data collection, highlighting both the factors that motivate or hamper the adoption of innovative audit technologies through the TOE framework, from the perspectives of Big 4 audit firms
Oppositional Identities and Employment for Ethnic Minorities: Evidence from England
No full textWhere a community or group is socially excluded from a dominant group, some individuals of that group may identify with the dominant culture and others may reject that culture. The aim of this article is to investigate this issue by empirically analysing the potential trade-off for ethnic minorities between sticking to their own roots and labour market success. We find that the social environment of individuals and attachments to culture of origin has a strong association with identity choice. Our results also suggest that those non-whites who have preferences that accord with being 'oppositional' do experience an employment penalty. Copyright � The Author(s).

How is Digital Infrastructure Adopted and Assimilated? The IPv6 Story
No full textThe adoption of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is vital for addressing the depletion of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) addresses and the growth of the Internet. Despite the criticality of the shortage of IPv4 addresses, organisations around the world have been slow to adopt IPv6. While some researchers have examined organisational IPv6 adoption and assimilation, the literature is dominated by technical studies. In addition, there is little research on the broader issue of the adoption of digital infrastructure, including IPv6. The goal of this study is to better understand the organisational adoption and assimilation of digital infrastructure, by studying the IPv6 adoption experience.
This study focused on identifying the determinants and barriers of organisational IPv6 adoption and assimilation, and on providing an in-depth understanding of the impact of organisational resources, institutional forces and network externalities across varying stages of organisational adoption and assimilation. To achieve these research aims, a thorough literature review and multiple case studies were used. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 informants from sixteen organisations in New Zealand. These organisations were from different industries, of different sizes and were at different stages of IPv6 adoption.
The data collected during the interviews was used to develop through visual maps for each case, and to surface themes across cases. The within-case analysis identified twelve determinants and eleven barriers of organisational IPv6 adoption, which were then categorised into institutional, organisational and network-specific factors. The data was then used to develop a multi-level model of digital infrastructure adoption, and a stage model of digital infrastructure adoption and assimilation.
This study contributes theoretically to our understanding of digital infrastructure adoption and assimilation by explaining how factors internal and external to organisations influence their adoption decisions. By consolidating the experiences of the sixteen organisations, the study also provides useful suggestions to practitioners on how they should managing their adoption of IPv6 and other types of digital infrastructure. Finally, this study concludes by describing its limitations and by providing suggestions for future research on this crucial topic

Role of Emotional Intelligence in Managing Organizational Culture During Covid-19 – A Cross-Sectional Study
No full textThe present research aims to study the relation between emotional intelligence and organizational culture during the Covid-19 pandemic. Emotional intelligence is an individual's ability to understand and manage their own and others' emotions. This ability can be instrumental in driving the culture of universities and colleges. During this crucial time of Covid-19, there is a sudden shift from traditional/ face-to-face teaching to online/hybrid education; it is vital to provide a congenial environment and culture to teachers and students to promote a smooth and amiable teaching/learning experience. The data was collected from a sample of 10 colleges of higher education from NCR. The respondents included academicians of different academic ranks. 232 questionnaires were received, out of which 213 respondent's data was usable. Convenience sampling was used in this research to collect data from the colleges. According to the findings, there is a strong relation between emotional intelligence and organizational culture. The organizational culture and its dimensions are strongly affected by emotional intelligence. The most robust relationship exists between managing emotions and managing change in the organization
