Does COVID -19 Effect Intention to Adopt Mobile Banking Services? Role of Decomposed Theory of Planned Behavior
No full textAbstract: This study aims to measure the impact of this disruption on customers’ intention to adopt Mobile Banking Services (MBS) offered during the pandemic. This model is designed based on DTPB with a modification of COVID-19. The data were collected from 150 respondents through the convenience sampling technique. The data were analyzed on SPSS and Jamovi, to measure the structure model. According to the results, the relationship of attitude with behavioral intention is significantly positive. However, Social influence does not show any significant direct relationship with behavioral intention. The results also showed the significant positive effect of the direct impact of perceived behavioral control over behavioral intention. The variable representing COVID-19 also showed a direct significant effect on behavior. The findings revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic positively impact the customer’s behavioral intention to adopt MBS and significantly mediated the impact of PBC and social influence. However, customers’ attitudes did not alter by this pandemic. Study provides implications for banking managers to optimize their advanced MBS to attract customers and enhance their attraction towards mobile banking applications. Especially the customers of rural areas can be beneficial for the banking sector. Along with this, banks can also target the educated section of society who has the skill and capabilities to use the technology for their benefit and are technology savvy. The incorporation of DTPB in the banking sector during COVID-19 could implicate theoretical contribution in disruption situations
Accelerating Firm’s Operational Performance through GSCM Practices and Lean Management: A Case of the Textile Sector of Karachi
No full textSustainable performance remains a debate among the business community however, achieving it remains a challenge. Globally, firms have incorporated different initiatives to gain efficiency and effectiveness, but developing nations are still in transit. Operationalization of green initiatives to gain operational performance was rare in Asian literature and practice. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the role of green supply chain management practices that impact a firm’s operational performance and the mediating role of lean management in the textile sector of Karachi. A quantitative method was used in this research study and data were collected from 184 respondents from the textile sector of Karachi through a convenience sampling technique. The data were analyzed by partial least structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) through Smart PLS 3.0. The results indicated that lean management significantly mediates the relationship between green manufacturing, green procurement, and operational performance. Whereas eco-design without lean management does not positively affects operational performance. This study recommends local companies adopt green practices religiously to compete internationally and to educate workers and suppliers about the importance of using these practices
Evaluation of the Impact of Risk Tolerance and Financial Literacy on InvestmentIntentions of Securities Investors in Pakistan using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TBP)
No full textThis paper aims to investigate the applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in examining individuals’ behavioral intention to invest in the capital market. This study extends the TPB model by considering the role of Risk tolerance as a factor in influencing the individuals’ behavioral investment intentions. The study investigates the mediating impact of financial literacy on the relationship between TPB and investment intentions. This paper is based on a cross-sectional approach. The research model is tested through structural equation modeling (SEM). Data were collected from 114 individuals from Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, Pakistan through a survey questionnaire and analyzed through Smart PLS software. The results of this study reveal the role of risk tolerance and financial literacy over the investment intention of financial securities. This study indicates that attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and risk tolerance significantly impact investment intentions. The findings signify that financial literacy can increase the intention of investing in financial securities. However, our study shows that having financial literacy does not reduce the risk concerns of investing in securities. This study expands on the well-established TPB model by incorporating risk tolerance and moderator of financial literacy behavioral intentions. It also extends the applicability of the TPB in the area of investment decision-making toward all financial securities. This study is limited to the financial sectors of Karachi and can be extended to cross-country evaluation of the effect of financial literacy on risk tolerance
Impact Assessment of Green Port Practices on the Triple Bottom Line of Sustainability: The Case of South Asia Pakistan Terminals (SAPT)
No full textThe sustainable operation of ports plays an important and valuable role in achieving overall product reach and logistics. Sustainable port operations ensure production efficiency, profitable business growth and increase customer satisfaction. In developing countries, these practices are neglected and not widely recognized in the literature. The inadequate implementation of these practices in SAPT contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, creating problems for the environment and climate change. Therefore, this study examines the implementation of green port practices and answers the question of how these practices contribute to the environmental problems at South Asian Pakistan Terminals (SAPT) and recommends specific practices to transform SAPT into a green terminal. This study is based on a quantitative approach for which data was collected from 172 respondents using a questionnaire on a five-point Likert scale through random sampling. Respondents were selected based on their qualifications, experience and knowledge of green port practices. The model was analyzed using PLS-SEM via Smart PLS 4. PLS-SEM was chosen as the data analysis technique as it can handle complex models in a single trial and provides more generalized results. The results showed that IEM positively and significantly affects GO (
Estudio de vigilancia tecnológica para el mejoramiento de la cadena de suministro en el sector autopartes con la tecnología de impresión 3D
No full textTrabajo de investigaciónLa industria automotriz hoy en día recurre a múltiples proveedores, con posibilidad de recurrir a numerosas empresas. Esto hace que la cadena actual se parezca más a una red, con tantas etapas interrelacionadas que van todas al mismo producto final. Sin embargo, al igual que una cadena, los eslabones pueden ser frágiles. Si uno se rompe, compromete la integridad del resto de la cadena, observándose entonces, como la cadena de suministro automotriz es una parte integral de la industria y sobre la cual los fabricantes de automóviles no pueden tener un control total. Esta es una de las principales razones de los retrasos actuales en la producción de vehículos, las interrupciones en envíos, los cierres generados durante la pandemia, el problema con los contenedores entre otros, son factores que han afectado, el suministro de piezas y partes. En este sentido, las nuevas tecnologías como la Fabricación Aditiva o Impresión 3D se ha venido perfilando como una alternativa para la industria autopartes especialmente, dada su versatilidad en el uso de materiales y adaptabilidad a las exigencias de diseño de los autos. Es por esto que, la presente investigación tuvo como propósito revisar la literatura generada hasta el momento sobre la tecnología aditiva en el sector autopartes para el mejoramiento de la cadena de suministro y su implementación en Colombia. Encontrándose que, la impresión 3D a nivel internacional se está posicionando como alternativa en el diseño y fabricación de piezas y partes para la industria automotriz, siendo implementada por las principales marcas de fabricantes, mostrando una oportunidad para mejorar la dinámica de la cadena de suministro, permitiendo un modelo centrado en la demanda y en la producción local, mejorando por ejemplo, el tiempo en el transporte y costos de importación y distribución, así como el costo en el manejo de inventarios y almacén. Concluyéndose por tanto que, es una tecnología que debe ser considerada por los fabricantes ubicado en Colombia para crear una cadena de suministro más ágil y colaborativa.
