A Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainability Reporting via Social Media
No full textPurpose: In this study, the bibliometric methodology is used to investigate how research on sustainability reporting using social media has evolved over time. The primary goal is to trace the intellectual, thematic, and methodological evolution of this field of research as well as to comprehend how the digital platforms have transformed the idea of sustainability communication.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The review examines 423 articles published no earlier than 2006 and found in Scopus. The publication patterns, intellectual basis as well as the development of themes were mapped using bibliometric techniques such as the descriptive analysis, co-citation analysis and the key word co-occurrence analysis. The relationships between authors, theories, and the themes of research were identified through network visualization tools.
Findings: The findings include that the number of publications in the years after 2014 grew significantly, which suggests the growing academic attention to sustainability reporting through social media. They revealed five areas of research dominance, which include: corporate legitimacy and greenwashing, stakeholder engagement and dialogic communication, ESG performance transparency, strategic CSR communication and data-driven sentiment analysis. The most commonly used theoretical lenses are the legitimacy theory, the stakeholder theory, the institutional theory, the dialogic communication theory and the management relevance theory. Interdisciplinary outlooks and AI-driven approaches to analyzing sentiment and natural language processing gain popularity as the subject of more recent studies.
Implications/Originality/Value: The bibliometric review provides a systematic summary of the topic, the emergent trends, and gaps involving platform governance, Global South settings, and algorithmic effect on ESG stories, suggesting a basis on upcoming researc
The Impact of Green Human Resource Management on Environment Performance: A Roadmap Towards Sustainable Development in Hotel Industry
Full text linkThe purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) upon the hotel’s environmental performance (HEP) in view of the global call for sustainability. The study was conducted by sampling the employees from different hotels of twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. SPSS and PLS were used for data analysis. The findings show that GHRM has a positive impact on HEP, but the direct relationship between employees’ organizational commitment (EOC) and HEP is negative, while EOC plays a negative role in the relationship between GHRM and HEP. The sequential mediation shows that the EOC and employees’ eco-friendly behavior (EEB) positively mediate the relationship between GHRM and HEP. This research shows that it would be helpful for the employees to understand the effects of green human resource strategies and practices for improvement in the hotel environment and thereby leading towards sustainable performance
How the Students’ Competitive and Collaborative Styles of Learning are Affected by Personality Traits at the University Level
Full text linkInvestigating how personality traits affect competitive and collaborative learning is the goal of the current study. When examining the influence of personality traits on learning styles, Big Five Theory was employed. Two hundred students were casually picked using the non-probability selection approach for this descriptive study design. After translation into the native language, a large-scale portfolio and the Grasha-Riechmann Scales of Student Learning Skills were utilized. Cronbach's alpha provided proficient estimation, pilot testing, and consistency, which all confirmed the instrument’s validity (α = 0.94). Five elements correlated with students' learning styles, including their personality traits. Students may benefit from a teaching approach that considers their unique characteristics and learning styles. Social training, academic achievement, and collaborative chances influenced personality traits and learning
How Green Growth, Institutional Quality and Globalization Impact Environmental Sustainability in the selected OBOR Economies: The Role of Energy Efficiency
Full text linkThe quality of the environment is gradually declining dramatically due to mankind's activity, resulting in a threat to the sustainability of our ecosystem. However, this study investigated the problem by considering effective indicators such as green growth, institutional quality, globalization, and energy efficiency. Therefore, this study explores the nexus between green growth (GG), institutional quality (IQ), and globalization (Glb) with environmental sustainability (CO2). The study also includes Industrialization (Ind) and Trade Openness (ToP) as control variables. Moreover, the study contributes to the literature by predicting the net moderating potential effect of energy efficiency (EE) improvements on environmental sustainability. The study employs the 18-year data for the period 2005 to 2022 from 96 selected OBOR countries.
The data sorting accounted for cross-sectional dependence (CSD), the Breusch-Pagan LM, Pesaran scaled LM, and Pesaran CD, 2007 tests were used and similarly for Slope Coefficient Heterogeneity (SCH), Pesaran, Yagmata. 2008 tests were used. The second generation method, Pescaran tests namely CIPS and CADF were used to check the stationarity of the data. This study employed the PMG-ARDL model for the data analysis. MG, AMG, and DFE estimates were also performed to check the robustness of the results of the model that unveil the long-run as well as short-run relationships. The long-run results revealed that GG, IQ, Ind, and ToP have a positive and significant relationship with CO2 whereas IQ has an inverse relationship. Similarly, in the short run GG, and Ind are positively significant with CO2. The moderation effect observed on GG and CO2 nexus is insignificant whereas the moderation effect on IQ and Glb has been seen as significant with CO2 nexuses. The finding indicates that when setting sustainable goals, it must review the determinants of CO2 emission specifically for OBOR economies, as environmental sustainability is more challenging than reducing pollution
Does Internal Borrowing of Pakistani Government Affect Corporate Leverage?
No full textFor the past few years, the government of Pakistan has increased its domestic borrowing to a record level. This increased government borrowing could have reduced funds for investment by the non-financial corporate sector. In this study, we empirically investigate the influence of state domestic debt on corporate leverage in Pakistan. This study examines data of 07 non-financial sectors listed at PSX for a period of 2009-2018. The firm-level panel data was analyzed through the fixed-effect method. Results reveal that government domestic borrowings have a negative influence on corporate borrowings. Commercial banks in Pakistan have heavily invested in government debt securities which are the substitute for corporate debts due to the high rate of return and low risk of default. This study recommends that the government of Pakistan should strengthen the Fiscal Responsibility & Debt Limitation Act 2005 to safeguard against the adverse effects of govt. internal borrowing on the financing of the corporate sector. Further, the government should prepare effective fiscal and monetary policies to promote the growth of the corporate sector.  
Linking The Customer Knowledge Management with Software Quality: An Empirical Study of Software Development Organizations in Pakistan
Full text linkThe aim of research was to enhance the Customer Knowledge Management (CKM) which has high impact on the quality of software products. In Enterprise Software (ES) development the Customer knowledge management is still immature. This raises the question of how CKM enablers can be used to help ES development companies improve the quality of their software. In this study, human, organizational and technical CKM enablers Were recognized by literature. The results of the study showed that CKM enablers can help to improve the quality of software products in Pakistan. Framework for CKM can help software development organizations to improve software quality as well and will also reduce cost and gain market reputation with competent trained resources. Results showed that "customer involvement" with "trust" were the most influential factors, followed by "CRM technology infrastructure" and "cross-functional co-operation". Furthermore, "there was no impact from the organizational Training "," customer knowledge map ", and" CKM strategy development ". The results also showed that the impact of CKM on software quality is significant. The results of the study also highlighted all the potential factors that are beneficial in influencing the CKM for quality improvement of ES in Pakistan
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
