The present study aims to investigate the impact of quality of work life on turnover intentions of employees working in the hospitality sector in Kashmir. Data were collected from selected hotels in Kashmir by administering a structured questionnaire containing two variables: quality of work life and turnover intention. On the whole, the results of the study show a significant relationship between quality of work life and turnover intention. The study implies that employees who experience a favorable quality of work life are more inclined to maintain long-term relationships with their organizations than those who experience an unfavorable quality of work life.
As public universities transition toward institutional autonomy, faculty face intensified, multidimensional performance pressures. Drawing on the challenge-hindrance stressor framework and Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, this study investigates how different job demands impact job performance via innovative work behaviour (IWB), and whether Public Service Motivation (PSM) moderates this mechanism. A moderated mediation model was tested using PLS-SEM on survey data from 432 faculty members at autonomous universities in Vietnam. Results reveal that challenge stressors positively predict IWB and performance, whereas hindrance stressors exert detrimental effects. IWB significantly mediates these relationships. Crucially, PSM acts as a vital personal resource: it amplifies the positive impact of challenges and buffers the negative impact of hindrances on IWB. Findings highlight that autonomy-related pressures can stimulate performance when managed as challenges and supported by mission-driven motivation.
This study employed the copula method to seek empirical evidence regarding the impact of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership on the structure and degree of interdependence among major stock markets in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region. The results indicate that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership has altered the pairwise dependence structure across all the markets studied. Furthermore, the agreement has modified the lower and upper tail dependence coefficients for certain pairs of market returns. These findings offer valuable insights for formulating policy recommendations and guiding international investors operating in Association of Southeast Asian Nations stock markets.
Visit Malaysia Year 2026 is a nationally coordinated tourism campaign implemented amid regional geopolitical uncertainty. This study examines relationships between event portfolio effectiveness, destination image, perceived destination stability (PDS), and travel intention. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was adopted, combining thematic analysis of Visit Malaysia Year 2026 campaign materials with a survey of 412 international tourists who attended related events. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were used. Findings indicate positive relationships among the constructs and significant indirect relationships through destination image and PDS. The study highlights PDS as an interpretive mechanism linking event experiences with post-visit behavioral intentions.
This study investigates the stimulating effects of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) and sustainable buy now, pay later (BNPL) messages and explains how cognitive and emotional states translate into impulsive BNPL usage intention and impulsive buying intention. Based on the stimulus-organism-response framework, the proposed model was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling with data collected from 394 mobile users in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The results support most hypotheses, except for the relationship between perceived benefit and shopping arousal. The findings demonstrate that eWOM and sustainable BNPL messages significantly shape consumers' benefit–risk perceptions, shopping arousal, and sustainable consumption mindset. These factors, in turn, influence BNPL usage intention, which strongly predicts impulsive buying intention. This study extends the stimulus-organism-response model by incorporating eWOM and sustainable BNPL messages as key environmental stimuli while integrating shopping arousal and sustainable consumption mindset as two contrasting internal states that jointly shape impulsive consumer behavior.
