A new improved estimator for the population mean using twofold auxiliary information under simple random sampling Pages 265-276 Right click to download the paper Download PDF

Authors: Muhammad Tahir, Bu Yude, Saima Bashir, Sardar Hussain, Tahir Munir

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2023.5.001

Keywords: Simulation, Simple random sampling, Auxiliary variable, Bias, Mean square error, PRE, Simulation

Abstract:
In this manuscript, the mean of the study and the auxiliary variable, as well as the rank of the auxiliary variable, were needed to develop a new, improved ratio-in-regression type estimator for population mean. Up to the first order of approximation, expressions for the bias and mean square error of the existing and proposed estimators are computed. The effectiveness and stability of our new, enhanced estimator are evaluated using simulation and two actual data sets. The suggested estimator's superior performance to all other considered estimators is shown both conceptually and numerically. The mean square error is the lowest, and PREs out-performs other known estimators by a factor of more than one hundred. Overall, we draw the conclusion that the suggested new improved estimator outperforms all its predecessors.

Buying environmentally sustainable products: The role of materialism and product comparison in purchasing behavior Pages 195-210 Right click to download the paper Download PDF

Authors: Jaffar Mahmood Butt, Muhammad Tanveer, Munirah Sarhan Alqahtani, Muhammad Faizan Khan, Zargham Ullah Khan

DOI: 10.5267/j.uscm.2024.7.005

Keywords: Environmentally Sustainable Products, Sustainability, Consumer Behavior, Materialism, Product comparison

Abstract:
Materialism has emerged as a growing global drift in the past decade. This study highlights the influence of materialism on consumers' attitudes and actions regarding the purchase of environmentally sustainable products (ESPs) in a country such as Pakistan, which environmental orientations are in the developing stage. Materialistic perspectives can hinder the formation of positive attitudes towards environmentally sustainable products, especially when consumers engage in product comparisons. To evaluate the effects of materialism and product comparisons on purchasing intentions and behaviors, a survey was conducted among university students. The results revealed that consumers tend to avoid purchasing experience goods primarily because these items require a higher degree of involvement and risk assessment due to their intangible and experiential nature. This avoidance is particularly pronounced when the subjective norms and attitudes toward these goods are influenced by materialistic values, which often prioritize tangible, ownership-oriented products.

Improving mechanical properties of concrete by using fibrous materials Pages 437-446 Right click to download the paper Download PDF

Authors: Omar Shahid Khan, Samiullah Sohu, Mir Zafarullah Jamali, Shakeel Ahmed, Sasitharan Nagapan

DOI: 10.5267/j.esm.2024.4.001

Keywords: Fibrous Concrete, Glass Fiber, Steel Fiber, Carbon Fiber, Tensile and Compressive Strength, Age Effect

Abstract:
Concrete is the most significant source of construction in the construction industry of the world. However, concrete causes excessive production of cement, which is one of the key contributors of carbon dioxide emissions to the environment. To minimize the use of cement in concrete, various innovative materials are being added in concrete to make it sustainable. In this study, a comparative study between three fibers Carbon Fiber, Glass Fiber, and steel fibers was done to determine which one is the most suitable fiber. For this purpose, testing on specimens was done for tensile and compressive strength at 0.5% addition of each fiber. Testing was done after 3, 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. The results spelled out that the highest compressive strength of 37.53 MPa of cube specimens was found in carbon fiber after 28 days, and Glass fibers exhibited the lowest gain in strength at about 32.335 MPa. Carbon Fiber gained 28% more strength than the control mix. On the other hand, tensile strength was also found highest in carbon fibers i.e. for the cubes the maximum difference between different fibers inducted concrete samples is 28% approximately, and for cylinders it is 27%, respectively. On the other hand, the highest tensile strength of concrete was also gained with the carbon fiber at about 3.61 MPa. The same was found lowest in glass fiber at 3.12 MPa. Carbon fiber got about 44 % improvements in tensile strength.

DOI: 10.5267/j.ccl.2022.12.004

Keywords: Antibacterial activity, Azinane, Enzyme inhibition, BSA binding

Abstract:
The 1,3,4-Oxadiazole is an aromatic heterocyclic moiety recognized in drug research for its low lipophilicity. The multiple functionalities, heterocyclic azinane, sulfonamide, 1,3,4-oxadiazole and acetamide, are combined collectively to enhance the bioactivity potential of synthesized molecules. All the compounds were acquired by following microwave assisted and conventional techniques in a comparative way. The synthesized derivatives were screened for their antibacterial and enzyme inhibition potential. Furthermore, BSA binding analysis was executed to infer about the interaction with serum albumin. The spectral data of IR, EI-MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR were used to elucidate the final structures of compounds. The synthesized compounds had a modest antibacterial potential. Compound 8f bearing 2-methyl-4,5-dinitrophenyl group was the most active one against all the bacterial strains taken into account and α-glucosidase enzyme. Compound 8d bearing 4-nitrophenyl group was the best acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor and 8i bearing phenylethyl group was the best urease inhibitor.

Impact of leadership styles on faculty performance: Moderating role of organizational culture in higher education Pages 1-20 Right click to download the paper Download PDF

Authors: Amna Rasool Jamali, Arabella Bhutto, Mahvish Khaskhely, Waqar Sethar

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2021.8.005

Keywords: Leadership Style, Organizational Culture, Faculty Performance, Full Range Leadership Model, Competing Value Framework (CVF), PLS-SEM

Abstract:
There are many leadership styles, which have different impacts on employees' performance. In higher education, faculty performance depends on many factors including Leadership style & Organizational culture. This study aims to examine the effect of leadership styles on faculty performance (FP) and more specifically to examine the moderating effect of Organizational Culture in the association between leadership styles and faculty performance in higher education institutions (MUET, Jamshoro). This study used quantitative methodology to identify the leadership styles which exist in MUET, Jamshoro, and their impact on faculty performance with organizational culture as moderator. It used both the sampling techniques probability and non-probability, and the sample size was 384 and the data was analyzed in SmartPLS 3. For leadership style, Full Range Leadership Model was adopted and for organizational culture, Competing Value Framework (CVF) was used. This study found that Transformational (TF) leadership has a positive significant relation with faculty performance at MUET, Jamshoro. And Organizational Culture (OC) as moderator negatively moderates the relation between Laissez-faire (LF) leadership and faculty performance (FP). According to faculty, transformational leadership is best suited to promote their performance on account of giving them challenging work, autonomy, mutual trust, through supporting subordinates' creativity, improving their confidence, and maintaining collaborations. Laissez-faire leadership also exists in an academic institution and has a positive impact on faculty performance. However, Transactional leadership has a negative impact on faculty performance. The future study could be conducted in other universities, or a comparison of leadership styles can be made between public and private universities with different models of leadership style and with different organizational culture models.

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2021.8.001

Keywords: Workplace Spirituality, Trust, Knowledge Sharing Behavior, Work Engagement, Setup times

Abstract:
Management scholars view workplace spirituality as the main factor behind building trust among employees and playing a pivotal role in enhancing the organization's positive outcomes, i.e., knowledge sharing behavior & work engagement. Underpinning social exchange theory, we explored the linkage between workplace spirituality, knowledge sharing behavior, and work engagement. We further studied to look at the mediating effect of trust between workplace spirituality and positive outcomes. Data was collected from six private companies, the total number of respondents was (n=196). The study's analysis showed that workplace spirituality substantially positively impacts knowledge sharing behavior and work engagement. Furthermore, the link between workplace spirituality, knowledge sharing behavior, and work engagement is positively and statistically significantly mediated by trust. Thus, this work contributes significantly to the research paradigm by presenting workplace spirituality as a solution for high-rise trust among employees, fostering employee engagement in their work, and improving the capacity of knowledge-sharing behavior. Additionally, at the end of this study, theoretical and managerial suggestions, future avenues, and limitations are stated.

Cash holding and investment efficiency nexus for financially distressed firms: The moderating role of corporate governance Pages 67-74 Right click to download the paper Download PDF

Authors: Muhammad Aksar, Shoib Hassan, Muhammad Bilal Kayani, Suleman Khan, Tanvir Ahmed

DOI: 10.5267/j.msl.2021.7.001

Keywords: Cash holding, Investment Efficiency, Corporate Governance, Financial distress, Asian Emerging Economies

Abstract:
The current research study aims to analyze the impact of cash holding on investment efficiency by moderating the role of corporate governance among financially distressed firms. The data for 14 years (2006-2019) is gathered from 400 companies of two Asian emerging economies (Pakistan and India). The results are obtained by applying a generalized method of moments (GMM), which postulates that corporate governance improves cash holding with investment efficiency in the Indian scenario and decreases in the Pakistani scenario. Concerning financially distressed firms, corporate governance strengthens the relationship of cash holding with investment efficiency in the Pakistani context but showing no moderating role in the Indian scenario. The results are helpful in cash management decisions to minimize the agency issue and to avail investment opportunities.
