The primary objective of this study is associated with the management of educational system in schools using Three Law Auguste Comte at Pesantren Tebuireng Jombang, East Java, Indonesia. Since June 2006 the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School has been providing the Islamic education. However, in these schools, the students coming from other schools do not have Islamic education and face difficulty while taking courses. Additionally, the students of Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools are not familiar with traditional education, such as science-based subjects; mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and management. Therefore, man-agement of educational system is required in Tebuireng Islamic Boarding Schools. For this purpose, data were collected from the teachers of these schools by using a questionnaire survey. Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. Findings of the study revealed that all levels of education in Islamic schools (Pesantren) should provide science-based subjects rational, among others: mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, management, etc. Moreover, there should be a balance between Islamic education and science-based education.

This study investigates the behavior of foreign investors’ investment decisions in Vietnam stock market, an emerging stock market. The study employs time series quarterly data over the period from quarter 1, 2005 to quarter 4, 2018 which extended before and after the global financial crisis in 2008. The results indicate that foreign investors were positive feedback traders in Vietnam stock market. Concurrently, the findings of GARCH model also reveal that foreign investors’ investment decisions in Vietnam stock market were influ-enced by unusual past shocks. However, these decisions lack the stability and periodicity. These are some empirical evidence on foreign investors’ behavior of investment decisions in Vietnam stock market. These results also provide the authorities in Vietnam a basis to develop suitable policies in order to comprehensively restructure the stock market to aim the international integration and increasing the capacity of capital attraction for foreign investors.

The article presents a methodological tool for analysis and evaluation of business processes of Ukrainian en-terprises. The proposed methodology is provided for the identification of “problem” areas of certain business processes by calculating average weighted, integral and generic indicators of efficiency and effectiveness. It allows to evaluate the status of both certain business processes of enterprises and their totality, and to set the priorities of management actions for their improvements. The proposed methodology is examined on the example of a specific enterprise of the construction industry. In the framework of the proposed criteria (financial-economic, resource-production, external integration, organizational), a list of indicators, taking into account the specifics of the enterprise are formed. Assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of business processes by the specified criteria and indicators allows one to monitor the current activity of the enterprise and evaluate the effectiveness of its operations at every moment of time.

Banks in Jordan are facing a crisis related to their employees, where it has recently become clear that employees are leaving their jobs in increasing numbers. Thus, this study examined the impact of the human resources management (HRM) practices (compensation, performance appraisal, promotion, and training & development) on employee’s turnover intention and the mediating role of career satisfaction. The survey questionnaire was gathered from 394 employees located in 25 banks in Jordan. The study used PLS-SEM to get the results and examine the hypotheses. The findings indicate that HRM practices (compensation, performance appraisal, promotion, and training & development) negatively impact employees’ turnover intention, and career satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between HRM practices (compensation, performance appraisal, promotion, and training & development) and employee’s turnover intention. The study recommends that banks in Jordan provide a high compensation, fair performance appraisal, fast promotion systems, sufficient training & development program and high level of career satisfaction to maintain the human element and reduce the employees’ turnover intention. Future studies may include other practices such as employee empowerment, teamwork, employment security information sharing, and job description.

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) is playing an increasingly important role in operational and financial practices and attracted growing attention from academia and industry alike. However, researchers have not yet been totally able to reach a consensus on the definition of this phenomenon. The study presented in the paper provides an overview of the advancements present in research on Financial Supply Chain Management. Using a bibliometric analysis approach, the paper summarizes the trends of development and the status quo of the Financial Supply Chain Management. The aim is to provide the reader with guidance and a solid conceptual framework for future research.

This study aimed to determine the impact of financial literacy on financial behaviour among teachers of secondary school. Financial behaviour in this study was explored as saving behaviour, shopping behaviour, short-term planning and long-term planning. Data were collected at the Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, involving 142 participants who were approached conveniently. Data were analysed using the reflective measurement model in Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling. As a result, financial literacy had a significant impact on financial behaviour in terms of saving behaviour, shopping behaviour, short-term planning and long-term planning.

Prior research in several industries, particularly manufacturing industries, has confirmed the use of supply chain integration (SCI) to achieve green innovation (GI). Despite this, there has been very little research into the effects of SCI on the GI of manufacturing businesses. As a result, the current study was carried out to close this gap in the literature. Data from 231 manufacturing businesses in Jordan was used to validate a framework of several hypotheses about the relationships involving SCI and GI. SCI (customer integration (CI) and supplier integration (SI) have beneficial benefits on the green product and process innovation (GPDI & GPRI), according to the results of structural equation modeling. SI's effects on green products and process innovation are moderated by environmental unpredictability. The effects of CI on green product innovation are being moderated by environmental unpredictability. Environmental uncertainty, on the other hand, does not moderate the impacts of CI on green process innovation. This research adds to our knowledge of the SCI-GI link.

Presently, different kinds of sampling methods are used to collect consumer data for research in the coffee business, depending on topic, goal and budget. However, what survey method is capable of generating data that does represent the entire population is questionable. By comparing these surveys – one online, one face to face interviews and the other telephone surveys – this study aims to determine the differences between these sampling methods and determine the most effective methods in coffee consumer. Face-to-face surveys with 130 respondents and a telephone survey with 130 respondents are compared with telephone surveys with 130 sampling using identical questions when the total of respondents is 500 and 390 are valid. With regard to consumer behavioral characteristics, telephone data yielded the best results, followed by online quota survey and finally face to face interviews. Telephone surveys can be a good sampling method so the authors recommend using it for a larger sample.

The effectiveness of the E-CRM system was examined in this study, involving those with online shopping experience, specifically the regular customers of Carrefour in Jordan. Data were obtained through 550 distributed sets of questionnaires. Four trained and certified research assistants assisted the data gathering process. Data from 320 returned questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). System quality, access to information, security, training and customer satisfaction were the examined factors towards the effectiveness of E-CRM systems. Results show positive impact of security, system quality, training, and access to information on user satisfaction, and user satisfaction affected the effectiveness of E-CRM. Nonetheless, the relationship between training and effectiveness of E-CRM on online shopping was not mediated by user satisfaction.
