Abstract
Corporate Governance (CG) of banks needs a special attention for many reasons, one of which is that banks are highly vulnerable for financial manipulations. Many factors make up the CG of a firm. It is highly difficult to realize what exactly CG is and define it. Yet, research is essential to understand the rising needs of good CG practices and the impact of such practices. Since many factors make up CG, in this study a CG Index especially designed for banks has been prepared. To know the effectiveness of corporate governance, the index was divided into six sub-indices and to test the index it was used to find correlation of CG practices with firm value measures in terms of price to book value (PBV) and Tobin’s Q as dependent variables. We employed the fixed regression model was run to examine the relationship between the sub-indices and the dependent variables. Apart from CG index, capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and net NPA ratio were also taken as independent variables. Supporting to the existing literature, significantly high correlation was established between CG and PBV and Tobin’s Q, especially by the board of directors and CAR. This study also indicates that the index can be used as proxy for understanding the CG practices of banks in India.Keywords: Corporate Governance, Corporate Governance Index, Firm value, Profitability.-

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of secondary school students’ educational performance and their perceived parental attitudes. Parents' ambitions appear to be one of the crucial predictors for children’s educational performance. Information has been collected on students in five community middle schools in the Negombo sea belt during the 2020-2021 academic year to find out perceived parental involvement on their academic performance. This research follows a screening model, which develops the instrumental scales that measures the students’ perceived parental attitudes towards educational performance. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and regression were utilized for data analysis. Furthermore, one t test was used to determine the level of overall parental attitudes towards secondary level education of children. The regression results indicate that fisher folks’ children mostly perceived their parents’ attitudes as protective demanding, which contributed 26.8 percent towards educational performance. Furthermore, regression results further demonstrate that Authoritarian Parent Attitude and Democratic Parent Attitude were 18.5 percent and 14.49 percent respectively, towards educational performance while encouraging students in terms of decisions for traditional fishing rather than their children’s academic future. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient indicate that three sub dimensions of parental attitudes moderately impacted on secondary level education of fisher-folk children in the Negombo sea belt. However, when the parents’ Democratic, protective demanding and authoritarian attitudes increased, a student’s educational performance decreased but perceived parental attitude has a moderate impact on secondary level educational performance of fisher-folk children in the Negombo sea belt in Sri Lanka.Keywords: Parental attitudes, secondary level educational performance, middle level community schools, fisher folk children.-

AbstractMergers and Acquisitions being an inorganic activity is foremost choice of growth and expansion by the Corporates irrespective of a sector or country it belongs to. It is specifically interesting but at the same time involves lot of due diligence procedures by the firms for undergoing the mergers and acquisitions. Firms now-a-days are involved in Domestic, Inbound and Outbound (Cross-Border) M & A due to various reasons which can be categorised into various determinants of Mergers and Acquisitions. Past Literature has described the determinants of M & A but the research is inadequate particularly for Inbound and Outbound Mergers and Acquisitions. The research has reserved Scopus as database for extracting the research papers on determinants of mergers and acquisitions for the years 1996 to 2021. The methodology includes certain tools which are used for searching the determinants of M & A comprising of Keyword Analysis, Citation Analysis, Network Analysis, Bibliometric Analysis and explaining the determinants exclusively by historical analysis. The study is discussing the emergent literature on determinants of Cross-Border Inbound and Outbound Mergers and Acquisitions. The key implications of the study precise that the determinants of inbound and outbound mergers and acquisitions are different for various sectors, country specific and also firm specific. The sector to which a firm belongs together with macro economic and firm specific determinants shape the decision of entering into mergers and acquisitions by a firm. Also, all the determinants are not postively impacting the decision of mergers and acquisitions.Keywords: Mergers and Acquisitions, Determinants, Inbound, Outbound, Bibliometric, Firm-Specific, Macro-Economic, Cross-Border

AbstractBusiness groups (BGs), a prevalent organizational form in many economies are exhibiting evolutionary fitness and are no longer considered an organizational anomaly. We extend the traditional debate around strategic choice and performance paradigm by assessing differential performance effects of BG affiliation in international strategic alliance (ISA) formation choices¾(alliance scope, alliance governance structure, and alliance orientation). This study integrates the resource-based view and institutional perspective to explore the initial divergence in performance of a BG affiliated firm (BGAF) and non-BG affiliated firm (NBGAF) leading towards convergence later when partner complementarity and institutional evolution shifts from lower to the higher end of the spectrum. Contrasting the effect of different ISA choices on firm’s performance the hypotheses were developed and tested on a panel dataset of 1816 ISAs formed by 224 BGAFs and 242 NBGAFs over a span of 19 years. Findings suggest that the influence of BG affiliation on firm’s performance is more pronounced when alliance scope is broader, alliance governance structure is contractual and alliance orientation is exploratory and that this divergence in performance between BGAFs and NBGAFs weakens as the alliance partner’s complementarity increases and institutions evolve in the economy.Keywords: business groups; international strategic alliances; alliance scope; alliance structure;-

AbstractThis paper aims to validate Organizational Justice Scale (OJS), prepared by Colquitt’s (2001), for the employees working in a security service organization in India, using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The scale was validated using data collected from employees working in a government security organization. Concurrent validity and discriminant validity were checked using the scales of Job Satisfaction and Political Interference, respectively. Colquitt's OJS was corroborated. The Indian version of the scale supported four dimensions of the variable for researchers, academicians, and practitioners to utilize. The OJS four-factor model was found to be prevalent in the Indian context. The scale can be employed by future researchers and is likely to generate a reliable result. The scale has not been studied in India, especially in security organizations. Hence, this paper will assist future researchers in exploring the concept of justice in the Indian context or among security personnel.Keywords: Organizational justice, Indian context, political interference, job satisfaction, police.-

AbstractEnduring brand trust, credibility, value and equity are essential drivers of customers’ willingness to pay a high price for a brand which can engender a higher profit margin. The role of brand trust, credibility, value and equity in strengthening customers` willingness to pay a price premium has been extensively studied of late. However, studies on the effect of brand trust, credibility and value on willingness to pay more through the intervening role of brand equity, particularly in the herbal industry are relatively scarce. As a result, this paper`s goal was to investigate the brand equity effect on the relationship between trust, credibility, value and willingness to pay a price premium in the herbal industry. Survey questionnaires were employed to gather information from 265 samples of customers through a systematic sampling strategy. The research propositions were tested using structural equation modelling. The study established that brand equity fully mediates the effect of brand credibility and perceived value on willingness to pay a price premium but partially mediates the path between brand trust and willingness to pay more in the herbal industry. The research, therefore, recommends that brand managers need to consider brand credibility, trust, value, and equity in strengthening customers` willingness to pay a price premium for medicinal herbal products in the industry.Keywords: Brand Trust, Credibility, Equity, Value, WTP Price Premium, Herbal Medicine-
