In conclusion, it was found that customer satisfaction had a causal relationship with employee satisfaction and an understanding of the employees’ satisfaction role was extremely important in this context. The paper also discusses further findings from the study as well as suggests future related research areas.

This study aims to analyze the role of women and the strategic dimensions in accelerating poverty reduction. In the midst of the pandemic situation Covid-19 caused many medium and large businesses that experienced a downturn. Micro businesses began to grow amid the economic difficulties faced by the community to be able to survive. The role of women in accelerating the poverty reduction through the management of micro businesses is a top priority for sustainable development. This research is located in Buleleng Regency, Bali Province and uses quantitative methods. Primary data sources were obtained using questionnaires sent to respondents. The data analysis method uses multiple linear regression. The population consists of micro-enterprises managed by women in 2019 of 246 businesses. The selecting samples method is based on convenience sampling and the entire population was sampled in this study. The results in this study indicate that financial literacy and women empowerment had positive and significant effects on women performance in micro-businesses. Interest in using e-commerce had no effect on women’s performance in micro businesses. Without the use of e-commerce, it is believed that women in micro-businesses will be increasingly left behind by other business actors, and age matters in association with technology and competition between other business actors which will be tighter to have an impact on performance and sustainability of the business.

This article aims to identify the drivers of the life satisfaction and happiness according to basic demands explored in motivational theories and the inclusion of the need for association participation. Structured questionnaire was directly delivered to 454 poor families living in nine districts of Can Tho. The data was processed by using SmartPLS with partial least squares (PLS) technique. The study found that existence needs, growth needs and needs of association participation can mostly explain the model which remarkably contribute to the literature of life satisfaction and happiness. In addition, the needs for association participation and life satisfaction positively affect people’s life happiness. In order to improve the living standards of local people, the government should clearly understand what residents really target to in life and fundamental demands of survive and self-development should be carefully considered and supported by the local authority and private organizations.

An entrepreneurial mindset requires a solid foundation of various components. These compo-nents may possibly affect the entrepreneurial mindset and intention of the entrepreneurs either negatively or positively. Hence, to analyze such effect, this study attempts to examine the association among entrepreneurial education and the components of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), i.e., social norms, attitude and self-efficacy, and their effects on the Community College of Abqaiq students’ entrepreneurial intention. The structural equation modeling based on partial least square (PLS) was employed for analyzing the data of the study. The findings confirmed that the entrepreneurship education construct had a significant effect on attitude towards entrepreneurship. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant positive effect of attitude and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intention. Finally, social norms did not disclose any significant effect on entrepreneurial intention.

Turning recycled plastic waste into fashion products is an uprising trend that creates efficiencies and sustainability for both economic development and the environment. However, in Vietnam, the recycled-from-plastic-waste fashion industry is still underdeveloped. By using statistical inference method and primary data sources, the research determines factors that influence consumption behavior towards fashion products made by recycled plastic waste in Hanoi. Research results indicate that prices, product quality, and community influence impact on consumer behavior. In particular, community influence is considered as a new factor which is further investigated in accordance with conditions in Vietnam. Ultimately, the research proposes a number of recommendations for recycled fashion products manufacturing business in Vietnam.

This study investigates the influences of job demands, work exhaustion, and job satisfaction on turnover intention among Vietnamese civil service employees. Additionally, the correlation between social support and job motivation with job satisfaction and turnover intention are also examined. A structural equation modeling technique was employed to conduct the data analysis with a survey of 318 civil service employees working in 10 different departments in the public sector. The results reveal that job demands had a positive association with both work exhaustion and turnover intention. In contrast, work exhaustion and job satisfaction are both significantly related to turnover intention. Surprisingly, the adverse effects of social support and job motivation on work exhaustion are insignificant. In addition to theoretical high-lights, our study provides practical implications and managerial recommendations for government agencies in the public sector to minimize the turnover rate and retain their employees.

This paper examines the influence of Financial Literacy on savings behavior that is improved by storing intentions and attitudes towards savings. Also, the study investigates the effect of subjective norms on saving behavior that is mediated by attitudes toward austerity. Research subjects were primary data from 469 young workers who worked in the DKI Jakarta area in 2018. Data were collected online by distributing questionnaires using Google Docs and they were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The research findings prove that financial literacy affects saving behavior, both directly and indirectly through the variables of saving intention and attitude to saving mediation. Other findings prove that subjective norms do not directly affect thrifty behavior, but had indirect effects through attitudes toward thrifty variables. This study offers alternative models of researchers associated with frugal behavior with theories of planned behavior theory with predictors of financial literacy and subjective norms to improve frugal behavior proving that saving intentions and attitudes towards saving can mediate financial literacy. Furthermore, a mediator's attitude towards savings can improve the subjective norm relationship with saving behavior. Thus, the planned behavior theory can explain the relationship between financial literacy and subjective norms by storing behavior. This is an initial empirical study that attempts to examine the relationship between financial literacy and subjective norms and their impact on savings behavior that is mediated by saving intention and attitude towards saving.
