Evidence from large firm-level data(Eurasian Economic Review: A Journal in Applied Macroeconomics and Finance, 2026-01-20) Yadav, Inder Sekhar; Yadav, Akash SinghThis study investigates the impact of financial market development on the finan-cial performance of 18,751 non-financial listed and active firms across 12 Asian economies from 1996 to 2020. Financial development is measured using the IMF’s financial development index, while firm performance is assessed through return on investment, return on assets, and return on equity. The analysis incorporates macroeconomic and firm-level controls such as GDP per capita, employment, firm size, leverage, tangibility, current ratio, asset turnover, and sales growth in panel regression models. Results reveal a positive and significant effect of financial devel-opment on firm performance in countries like China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Thailand, but an insignificant effect in Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and the Philippines. The financial development negatively af-fects small firms’ performance relative to medium and large firms. No significant differences are observed between financially developing and developed economies in terms of the impact of financial development on firm performanceItem Making your CSR message effective: A language perspective on the impact of CSR on job seekers’ organizational attraction(Journal of Business Research, 2026) Choudhary, Suman; Mishra, Kirti; Budhwar, PawanEmployers are increasingly including information about their corporate social responsibility (CSR) effort (the CSR action) and its impact (results of the CSR action) in recruitment messages to attract job seekers. However, in contemporary times, when all employers are using these CSR claims to differentiate themselves in the labor market, evaluating the effectiveness of CSR messages in attracting job seekers becomes important. In this research, we suggest that to leverage the potential of CSR messages in attracting job seekers, it is pertinent to pay attention to the nuances of CSR language used in displaying CSR information. Drawing on the literature on language, communication, and organizational attraction, we claim that using personal compared to impersonal language in communicating CSR effort increases organizational attractiveness. Further, we also claim that the language of CSR effort (personal vs. impersonal) interacts with CSR impact’s goal framing (positive vs. negative) to influence job seekers’ attraction towards the organization, such that it is highest in the personal + negative condition. Using a pilot study, one preliminary study, two experimental studies, and a follow-up study, we also demonstrate that job seekers’ anticipated warmth and meaningfulness mediate the above interaction effect. This research provides important theoretical and practical insights for attracting high-quality applicants by effectively communicating CSR initiatives.Item Sports tokens and sports equities: A downside tail risk analysis with portfolio implications(Financial Innovation, 2026-02-09) Tiwari, A.K.; Asadi, M.; Abdullah, M.; Abakah, E.J.A.; Bhuiyan, R.A.In this study, we examine risk spillover across sports tokens, sports equities and other traditional assets via the quantile-VAR model. Our static analysis results show that token BAR causes significant shocks to this system. In contrast, from the lower quantile, the USD is not only the highest contributor in the network but also the highest receiver. Notably, OG is the dominant contributor to the system. The portfolio analysis using the minimum connectedness portfolio shows possible portfolio benefits from using sports tokens. Our results provide valuable information for market participants to curb their asset management risk.Item Investigating antecedents of green training transfer among wellness resort employees in India(Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Insights, 2025-12-19) Lathabhavan, RemyaPurpose The present study aims to understand the behavioral outcomes of green training by considering an integrative approach of work environment and behavior of wellness resort employees in India. Design/methodology/approach The study follows the Stimuli-Organism-Behavior-Consequence (SOBC) theoretical approach. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 452 wellness resort employees in India. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The findings show that after completion of green training, the opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support act as strong predictors of commitment and self-efficacy of the employee. The findings show a strong association of commitment and self-efficacy with green training transfer intention, and transfer intention with green training transfer. The study also found the moderating effects of green training frequency among the Organism-Behavior-Consequence variables of the present study. Practical implications The wellness resorts need to figure out the factors that support the green training practices among the employees to enhance their pro-environmental behaviors. Understanding the influencing role of training frequency on training effectiveness, organizations must focus on training at fixed intervals, which can reinforce the skills learned and ensure the effective training transfer. A periodic check after the training can unravel the possible issues of training transfer and overall organizational effectiveness. It may conduct thorough surveys or one-one meetings to ensure the training transfer. Originality/value The study contributes to both academia and practice with a holistic SOBC model approach to understand the nature of green training transfer among employees in the wellness resorts in a developing country context with cultural ties. The study also stands among the pioneers that explores the relevance of green training transfer in the hospitality industry.Item A comparative study of DEA-based ranking methods applied in multi-sport events(Managing Sport and Leisure, 2026-01-19) Shriya, Shimona; Ranjan, Prabhaturpose: To compare DEA-based ranking methods and develop a fair approach to evaluate states’ efficiency and rankings at the National Games, India's national-level multi-sport event, adjusted for population and wealth, while excluding less relevant macroeconomic factors. Design/methodology/approach: Using data from the 2023 Games (37th edition), we compare three widely applied Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models: variable returns to scale (VRS), zero-sum gains (ZSG), and cross-efficiency. Results are validated using data from the 35th edition of the National Games to ensure robustness. Findings: The cross-efficiency method best produces complete rankings without ties. The VRS method identifies peer groups for the seventeen inefficient states out of 29 participating teams. Originality: This study contributes by providing a comparative evaluation comparing DEA models and identifying the most suitable method to assess states’ efficiency in promoting athletes at multi-sport events. It also highlights each method’s particularities, suitability, and characteristics. Research Contribution: By combining technical rigor with practical relevance, the paper addresses a gap in the literature by comparatively evaluating VRS, ZSG, and cross-efficiency models, underscoring their methodological distinctiveness and applicability. Practical implications: It provides actionable insights for state sports bodies, organizers, and policymakers to optimize resources, support talent development, and strengthen future National Games performance.Item Does economic inequality have a mitigating effect on carbon inequality? The role of economic development in emerging market economies(International Journal of Sustainable Economy, 2026-01-13) Patel, Gupteswar; Samal, RajashreeThe study investigates the relationship between economic inequality and carbon inequality within emerging economies. The augmented mean group (AMG) approach has been employed to analyse how variations in income distribution contribute to disparities in carbon emissions in 22 emerging economies from 1990 to 2019. Further the study has focused on the impacts of economic growth, urbanisation, and natural resources rent. The findings show that economic inequality worsens carbon disparity, revealing the complex relationship between economic and environmental issues. Further results show that economic expansion, urbanisation, and natural resource rent increase carbon disparity. The feasible generalised least squares (FGLS) estimate approach confirms these findings' robustness. Our research emphasises the importance of addressing income inequality to promote equitable and sustainable development.Item Sustainability, Green Human Resource Management and Work‐Life Balance: An Integrated Bibliometric Review Approach.(Corporate Social Responsibility & Environmental Management, 2025-12) Devadhasan, Babin Dhas; Gupta, Ashulekha; Lathabhavan, Remya; Gupta, Veethika; Bijalwan, PriyaWork‐life balance has become a key concern in modern workplaces, affecting both employee well‐being and long‐term organizational success.

A survey was administered among 290 patients admitted to four accredited tertiary care hospitals. The conceptual framework was tested using structural equation modelling. Results suggest that patients’ perception of patient-centred standards and hospital organisation management standards influences trust, leading to their commitment, which finally results in loyalty to accredited hospitals. The findings indicate a partial but significant mediating role of trust and commitment while predicting patient loyalty. It provides insights to hospital quality and marketing managers.Item Entertainment: navigating legal challenges and opportunities in India compared to EU regulations.(International Review of Law, Computers & Technology, 2025-12) Patra, Soumya Prakash; Dey, DebasmitaThis article analyses AI’s legal, ethical, and commercial challenges in India’s entertainment industry, comparing its fragmented framework (e.g. Copyright Act 1957, DPDP Act 2023) with the EU’s AI Act and GDPR.
