Breaking the Shackles: Uncovering the Entrepreneurial Intention Among Women A Study Based in North India
Business Perspectives and Research, Ahead of Print.
The present research explores the factors stimulating entrepreneurial potential among women based in India and how it eventually results in an intention to start their own business. The study is using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the entrepreneurial event model to identify the antecedents of entrepreneurial potential among women entrepreneurs in India. The study also attempts to understand whether entrepreneurial potential results in an intention to take up a business venture. A survey questionnaire is used to gather the data, and it is conducted both online and offline. The study used 214 responses in total. The data is analyzed using validated procedures and techniques, such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and then path analysis in AMOS (20). The study found that entrepreneurial potential was significantly affected by perceived desirability, followed by perceived feasibility and it also found that perceived risk negatively affects entrepreneurial potential. The second finding shows that the developed potential does turn into an intention to start an entrepreneurial venture, backed by perceived desirability and perceived feasibility. The results can be used to design training programs and help incubators create a methodical strategy to ensure the promotion of women entrepreneurs.

Environmental, Social and Governance Performance Disclosure and Market Value: Evidence from Jordan
Business Perspectives and Research, Ahead of Print.
Our article seeks to investigate the impact of ESG disclosure in its three dimensions, both collectively and individually, on the market value of Jordanian-listed companies from 2012 to 2019. Using a sample of 173 companies listed in ASE, 1,384 observations were collected. The findings indicate that environmental and social disclosure maximize companies’ market value, and the ESG disclosure collectively has positively affected the market value. At the same time, the results do not show any important role in governance. This indicates that companies pay close attention to various stakeholders, particularly external stakeholders, and wish to increase trust and transparency by disclosing their ESG performance. As a result, companies’ confidence in the capital markets is reinforced, and improved disclosure practices positively affect market value. This study adds an empirical contribution to the literature by investigating the influence of sustainability reporting on companies’ market value in the context of emerging economic countries.

A Moderated Model for the Effect of Human Resource Management Strategy on Organizational Outcomes
Management and Labour Studies, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 457-477, November 2023.
Much of the previous research has focused on the relationship between human resource practices and organizational outcomes. However, there is limited research investigating the effect of human resource strategy (accumulation, facilitation and utilization strategy) on organizational outcomes. This study addresses the research gap and aims to contribute to the stock of literature and theory by analysing the moderating effect of company age and company size on the relationship between human resource management strategy and organizational performance, competitive advantage and employee turnover in Pakistan’s hotel industry. Questionnaires were used to collect data from hotels located in Punjab province. Based on a final sample of 105 hotels, we found that the hotel age moderates the association between HRM strategy and employee turnover. The results reveal that the more the inclination towards an accumulation strategy, the better is organization’s performance and competitive advantage, and the lower the employee turnover. Other than contributing to the resource-based view and the contingency theory, this research provides suggestions to hotel managers regarding the effective use of HRM strategy. Specifically, by focusing on accumulation HR strategy, hotel managers could reduce employee turnover, generate competitive advantage and achieve high performance.
