Authors:Jisha S. Kumar, J. S. Bhagavathi Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. COVID-19 has become of the most fatal pandemics in the century. It has widely spread among different countries in the world. Also, the pandemic has affected different sections of the society. It has psychologically and financially affected the individuals also. In this scenario, it is important to analyze the feeding and income coping strategies of the salaried class employees. For this, a questionnaire was developed using Google Form and was sent across different salaried class employees of Kerala. A total of 100 samples were taken and the analysis was done. The findings of the study indicated that most of them did stock up food during COVID-19, and those who did not preferred home deliveries from supermarkets. When financial strategies are considered, a higher strain and a lower emergency saving was witnessed among those of the lower income group. The palliative measures by the Government were equally welcomed by all the income groups except the medical facility.

Authors:Boris Raj Borgohain, Krishna Kumar Singh First page: 7 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. Due to the vast changes being experienced in the current world climate, sustainable development and green economy have become key terms as counters to the experienced climate changes. As such, this article analyzes the features of green economy that would be key in the world’s development towards a green economy and a sustainable environment. The article uses the conceptualization of green GDP as an indicator of green economic development for the analysis. The article uses dimension reduction techniques and machine learning algorithms to identify the features with high importance in green economy. Results of the analysis show that the defined factor technological investment has the highest importance on development of green economy, and economic growth also exhibits a considerable amount of importance. The study provides suggestions on the direction of policy development by stakeholders for increasing the green GDP, which acts as the indicator of green economic development.

Authors:Fisayo Fagbemi, Tolulope T. Osinubi, Olufemi S. Olatunde First page: 24 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. In the face of unusual global health crisis, governments would strive to foster right conditions through maintenance of broad-based macro-economic management for businesses to thrive. However, the COVID-19 pandemic response measures have put a disproportionate burden on most economies, especially in the region with high economic vulnerabilities. Between 2020 and 2021, the outbreak of COVID-19 has not only upended normal economic and social pattern but also distorted the development trajectory in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Hence, this study reveals how lack of economic resilience weakened policymakers’ capacity to maintain an inclusive and sustainable policy approach across African countries, which has accentuated underdevelopment and unemployment crisis. Through the conceptual coverage of the economic impact of COVID-19 policy measures in the SSA region, the adverse effect of the pandemic on employment is further confirmed. The effect of the COVID-19 outbreak on unemployment seems to have outweighed the resulting morbidity and fatality. Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 policy responses on unemployment was found to be pervasive in key SSA economies like Nigeria and South Africa. This has led to entrenched social crisis and pandemic-induced economic challenges in the region. It is therefore suggested that maintaining appropriate policy measures is critical to offsetting the structural characteristics that have given rise to unemployment crisis in the region. In addition, with the support of international organizations, the use of COVID-19 vaccines with effective treatments should be encouraged across African countries.

Authors:Aditya Keshari, Amit Gautam First page: 34 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. This article examines the co-integration among the financial markets of four countries (India, the USA, Japan, and Hong Kong) from April 2010 to May 2021. Using the Johansen co-integration test, we establish the integration between the stock markets of these countries. The test clearly shows that there exists long-run co-integration between these countries. Furthermore, we checked the relationship of one country with another by applying the multivariate Granger causality test, which shows the influence of the US market over the other countries. The results significantly show the existence of long-run co-integration and linkages between these financial markets. Applying the Vector error correction model and variance decomposition analysis for the period confirms the result obtained from multivariate Granger causality. As the study shows, the stock market of the countries is not entirely inter-linked. However, some tests provide the pairwise linkages but not when talking about all the nations together. That means the rise in one stock market does not necessarily impact the surge in other stock exchanges, which means investors can profit from diversifying between these stock exchanges. It provides the opportunity for portfolio diversification to investors. The study shows that “the international stock market is neither fully integrated nor completely segmented,” giving international diversification an opportunity. As in our study, the “U.S. market is the most exogenous,” and the Japanese market is relatively isolated from the other market, where the impact from the different markets is not that significant.

Authors:Bridget Nungchensha Nungchim, Jibon Kumar Sharma Leihaothabam First page: 44 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. Background:It may be understood to assume that the performance and effectiveness of an organization solely depend on the setup of organizational culture as it (organizational culture) embodies the vision and mission of the organization including the attitudes and behaviors of the employees and the organization’s manner of functioning in the organization. Nonetheless, the association between the organizational culture and its effectiveness in service sector organizations appears to vary from one organization to the other with varying degrees and directions within the state.Aims and objectives:To assess the impact of organizational culture on the overall effectiveness and to evaluate the association between each component of organizational culture and its effectiveness of service sector organizations.Materials and methods:The present study is based on a primary sample of 140 employees selected from Manipur in Northeast India. The sample size is estimated on the findings of the pilot survey, and stratified random sampling is adopted as the type of sampling. The paired t-test is used as the statistical formula for testing of significance between the mean percentage scores; and Karl Pearson correlation co-efficient r is applied to establish the correlation between overall effectiveness of service sector organization and overall and each facet of organizational culture separately.Results:The findings of the study conclude that the better the organizational culture the better the effectiveness of the organization.

Authors:S. Ramkumar First page: 55 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. Research productivity at business schools is of interest to academicians, policy-makers, and other stakeholders. This study attempts to understand stratification in research productivity in a business school and explores the individual (rank, gender) and departmental (area of discipline) characteristics (RaGA), covering a dataset of 4,013 research outputs spanning the research themes (themes) of academic, practice-oriented, and pedagogic and (a la carte) (Tala) from 2011 to 2020. Theme-wise, the quantum and direction of research indicated that academic research> practice-oriented research> pedagogic development during 2010–2015 and 2015–2020. The major findings include: professors had higher per-capita productivity (PCP) across the themes, followed by assistant professors. In terms of a la carte, professors had higher PCP in scientific presentations/invited talks, books, chapters in books, articles in periodicals/dailies, and teaching cases. Assistant professors participated more in working papers and research projects. Associate professors had higher PCP in articles in academic journals and doctoral students advising. Female faculty fared well in academic research and male faculty in pedagogic development. Mixed trend was seen in practice-oriented research. Economic and social sciences outperformed other disciplinary areas in academic (working papers and scientific presentations) and practice-oriented research (research projects, books, chapters in books, and articles in dailies). Marketing, decision sciences, strategy, production, and operations management were better in pedagogic development. The higher production in articles in academic journals came from organization behavior, public policy, and production and operations management. This study has takeaways for policy-makers and emphasizes having a clear research agenda that can combine academic rigor with practice.

Authors:Saptarshi Bhattacharya, Rajendra Prasad Sharma First page: 70 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. This study investigates consumer online purchase intentions in emerging markets by focusing on the impact of country of origin (COO), trust, and satisfaction. The findings emanate from an analysis of the online survey completed by 987 Indian online shoppers. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) on SmartPLS was used for analyzing the data. The results indicate that COO plays a vital role in influencing online purchase intentions with the mediating effect of trust and satisfaction. The study finds that COO cues enhance consumer trust and satisfaction, thereby leading to purchase intention. The results indicate that online retailers operating in India, originating either from India or developed countries like the USA should use their country brand to build popularity. Furthermore, this study helps to understand the influence of COO on online purchase intentions in an emerging market like India more comprehensively.

Authors:Akshatha Suvarna First page: 81 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. Investors prefer to invest in the mutual funds as the fund managers may augment the returns through their security selection and market timing skills. Both conditional and unconditional evaluation approaches are used in the assessment of these two skills. The conditional performance appraisal methodology eliminates some of the biases that affect conventional unconditional measures when assessing these two skills. This study analyses the security selection and market timing ability of 52 selected Indian equity diversified mutual fund (growth) schemes using conditional approaches. Study found that stock selectivity and market timing coefficients were positive and significant in less than 25% of sampled funds. However, one interesting thing is that study could not find any significantly negative stock selector. With respect to macro-forecasting or timing the market, evidence, however, was strong for “wrong” or “perverse” market timing. The negative correlation between stock picking and market timing coefficients indicates that Indian equity diversified scheme fund managers are unable to demonstrate prowess in both capabilities at the same time.

Authors: Rahul. P Pages: 251 - 269 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 251-269, December 2021. The study covers aspects of leadership trust among the information technology (IT) employees in India, with the help of data collected from a cross section of 205 IT employees. The article has assessed leadership trust factor from the employee’s (workforce) perspective with COVID19 pandemic and work-from-home situation. The outcome of data establishes a positive relationship between leadership trust and factors such as communication, decision-making, integrity, and motivation. The study also suggests that the IT sector and its leadership have created a positive trust among the employees during the COVID-19 work-from-home scenario. Findings suggest that in areas like integrity and making decisions quickly, the IT leadership has exhibited high trust levels, while in some other areas like communication and keeping the employees motivated (inspired), there have been few minor gaps that require attention from the leadership, which could preclude the wilting of established trust between the leader and his employees.

Authors:Asif Ali, Ashok Aima, Jaya Bhasin, Robert D. Hisrich First page: 147 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) refers to entrepreneurial activities of established and existing firms. It is different from individual entrepreneurial orientation (Popov et al., 2019, Education + Training, vol. 61, pp. 65–78). EO refers to the processes, practices, and decision-making activities that lead to new venture creation (Walter et al., 2006, Journal of Business Venturing, vol. 21, pp. 541–567). The EO scale by Lumpkin and Dess (1996, Academy of Management Review, vol. 21, pp. 135–172) consists of innovativeness, proactiveness, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy. This scale is widely used in literature with major drawback of it being developed and evaluated in a developed economy (the USA) on large corporations. Very little literature is available with reference to validation of EO scales in developing economies, particularly India where firms are generally small. New Comprehensive Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale (CENTORES) has been developed and validated by adding additional dimension of strategic flexibility, which is the novelty of the present study. Data were collected using a survey instrument comprising of 19 items. The scientific scale development procedure as suggested by Schwab, (1980) was followed, first an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was done to explore factors and later confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was done to confirm factors (using SPSS and Amos). Six stable factors emerged from EFA which were subsequently confirmed through CFA. The measurement model confirmed the factors with good model fit indices as suggested by Hair et al. (2014). The model has CMIN/df = 2.237, CFI = 0.917, GFI = 0.928, NFI = 0.882, and RMSEA = 0.052 Citation: Jindal Journal of Business Research PubDate: 2021-09-28T04:46:41Z DOI: 10.1177/22786821211045178

Authors:Neha Arora, Naresh Kumar First page: 163 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. The present study investigates the relationship between Financial Inclusion Index (FII) and Human Development Index (HDI) of Indian economy. The study developed FII for the Indian economy from 1991 to 2020 by using the dimensions of banking penetration, banking availability and usage of banking services. The well-known techniques of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is used to develop FII. The ARDL bound test confirms the existence of a long-run relationship between financial inclusion and human development. Granger non-causality confirms the existence of bidirectional causality between financial inclusion and human development. As financial inclusion acts as a key for human development, government should adopt policies to speed up the financial inclusion process in India.

Authors:Animesh Bhattacharjee, Joy Das First page: 185 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. The present study investigates the effect of changes in money supply on both Indian stock market sensitive index and stock market overall capitalization by employing unit root test with break point, Johansen’s cointegration test, vector error correction (VEC) model, VEC Granger causality test, variance decomposition, and impulse response function. The result of the unit root test reveals that all the variables are nonstationary in levels but become stationary at the first-order difference. The unit root test further reveals that there are structural breaks in the mid-1990s or 2000s. The Johansen’s cointegration test reveals that the Indian stock market index and stock market capitalization are individually cointegrated with money supply. Further, the long-run co-movement between the Indian stock market and money supply and stock market capitalization and money supply is found to be positive. The results of the VEC model shows that the error correction term in the lnSENSEX–lnMS model is negative and statistically significant, while the error correction term in the lnMARCAP–lnMS model is found to be insignificant. The VEC Granger causality test shows that there is no short-run causal relationship between the variables. The variance decomposition indicates that both Indian stock market index and stock market capitalization are strongly exogenous. The impulse response function suggests that money supply has an immediate positive effect on both Indian stock market index and stock market capitalization. The investors and fund managers should take investment decisions keeping in view the positive co-movement of Indian stock market performance and broad money supply. The study recommends that the government should avoid aggressive tightening of money supply. Citation: Jindal Journal of Business Research PubDate: 2021-10-07T07:07:18Z DOI: 10.1177/22786821211047615

The COVID-19 pandemic had a catastrophic effect on the economies of the world. The COVID-19 crises had a huge impact on the way in which buying and selling is done. Complex consumer buying behavior became all the more unpredictable. For most companies, the pandemic had created a situation for innovation like never before. Generation Z (Gen Y) and generation Z (Gen Z) were the most affected segments during the turmoil. These generations are experiencing a roller-coaster ride. These cohorts were fast in adapting to the new challenges arising out of the COVID-19 upheaval. Gen Z had to attend online classes, while Gen Y was either attending online classes or those with jobs were working from home.Purpose:This article makes an attempt to understand the impact of COVID-19 on the buying behavior of the Indian millennials and to know the major sectors of the Indian economy which were exorbitantly influenced by them.Methodology:The research article is based on secondary data obtained from leading financial dailies, news reports observations and discussions with acquaintances.Findings:The research study hopes to shed light on the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on the buying habits of the young generation in India. It will act as a beacon for companies to develop marketing strategies that are in congruence with the mindset of the millennial. Successful business models can be worked out keeping the millennial as the focus.Originality:The research is genuine and creatively inscribed; it visualizes the researchers’ speculation about the situation Citation: Jindal Journal of Business Research PubDate: 2021-09-23T03:42:58Z DOI: 10.1177/22786821211045196

Authors:Muyideen O. Lawal, Titus O. Ajewole, Olalekan M. Bada First page: 238 Abstract: Jindal Journal of Business Research, Ahead of Print. This work studies the satisfaction experienced by electricity customers in Osun, Lagos, and Ogun States during the recent lockdown occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic. The measures of the satisfaction are based on the hours of electricity supply during the period, easiness experienced for payment of prepaid bill and swiftness in faults correction of the distribution companies involved. A questionnaire was developed using Google Forms. The form was shared through various online platforms. A total of 274 electricity consumers responded to the questionnaire, but after sorting, 259 consumers across the three states were analyzed. From the responses, majority of respondents claim there was increased hours of supply during the period when compared to before the period. For prepaid customers who had reasons to pay electricity bill, majority claim it was easy paying while most of those who claimed it was not easy was because of their payment method choices, which is using designated points. Majority of those who have reasons for faults to be corrected by the distribution companies claim that there was not promptness in fault correction.
