There is also an investigation of the moderating effect of religiosity on psychological empowerment and job satisfaction as well as job satisfaction and employee engagement. Design/methodology/approach Data were obtained from 265 employees working in the service industry in Nigeria. The hypotheses were tested and analyzed using structural equation modeling and bootstrapping procedure. Findings The results show that the direct relationship between psychological empowerment and employee engagement was partially mediated by job satisfaction. Intrinsic religiosity was found to have a moderating effect on job satisfaction and employee engagement. Religiosity (intrinsic and extrinsic) does not moderate the impact of psychological empowerment on job satisfaction and employee engagement. Extrinsic religiosity was found to have a negative insignificant moderating effect on job satisfaction and employee engagement. Research limitations/implications A cross-sectional study reveals the relationship between variables at one point in a time. As such this study may not precisely predict the dominant pattern of the association over time. Future research can use longitudinal study to establish a dominant pattern of relationships. Practical implications This study informs human resource practitioners and scholars by demonstrating that religiosity and job satisfaction are important factors that should be considered in managing and keeping employees engaged.

PublicationThe role of technological innovation and cleaner energy towards the environment in ASEAN countries: proposing a policy for sustainable development goals( 2022)The association between economic growth (EG) and environmental degradation (ED) has been highlighted extensively in prior studies. However, investigation regarding ‘technological innovation and clean energy role’ in dealing with environmental concerns has comprised limited context while considering the ASEAN economies under sustainable development goals. Therefore, the study attempts to investigate the phenomenon by using CS-ARDL analysis under short as well as long run. The findings through CSARDL in long- and short-run indicate that REN have impact carbon emission and ecological footprints negatively. Additionally, the EG in targeted economies is causing a higher level of CE and ecological footprints. Whereas, GDP2ofund to be significant in lowering the ED in the form of CE and ecological footprints. It is suggested that policies related to CE through EG should be developed in order to control the environmental issues in the future.

Data from the hundred commercial banks (ten from each country) were taken in the time period of 2016-2020. Moreover, fixed effect model (FEM) was applied to test the association between the constructs. The findings revealed that the CEO incentives, social and environmental responsibilities, liquidity and capital structure are positively and significantly associated with banking financial performance in ASEAN countries. The regulators get help from the current study in formulating the regulation related to the banking sector performance by focusing on the CEO incentives and CSR responsibilities

The production of goods and services, their quality, marketing and profitability depend on the efficiency of business operations.

The liquidity and capital structure have been used as the control variables. In the current article, researchers extracted the secondary data from the financial statements of the textile industry from 1991 to 2020. The researchers also applied the panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) to test the relationships among the constructs. The results revealed that the industry 4.0 revolution, leadership support, liquidity, and capital structure were positively associated with operational efficiency management of the textile industry in ASEAN countries. This study guides the regulators in establishing the policies related to operation efficiency management by focusing on the industry 4.0 revolution and leadership support.
