Ghana continues to record increasing numbers of uncompleted projects with its attendant cost overruns which are borne by the taxpayer. Several studies have sought to explain this phenomenon by exploring how project policy influences project outcomes. Though project leadership have been established to contribute to project outcomes, a study to look at how project leadership interplays between project policy and project outcome are lacking, hence the focus of this study. The current study thus uses PLS-SEM to model how project leadership interacts with project policy and project outcomes using government projects within the Cape Coast Metropolitan area. The study uses the resource-based view theory to explain the interactions among the variables. Data were collected from 97 project leaders who have worked on government projects within the Cape Coast Metropolis. The study found that project policies and transformational leadership styles enhance project outcomes. On the contrary transactional leadership style was found to adversely impact project outcomes. The study further concludes that leadership style does not moderate the relationship between project policies and project outcomes within the CCMA. It is, therefore, recommended that clear policies be formulated to guide the execution of government projects while project leaders are trained and admonished to employ the transformational leadership style to increase the success rate of government projects.

泰国另类资本市场ESG表现与企业财务风险

This paper aimed to look into the relationship between working capital management and industrial firms' profitability listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) from 2014 to 2020. The data incorporated into the yearly statements of 23 listed industrial firms have been collated to investigate the developed model. In order to examine the data, pannel data procedure employed 161 observation. The empirical findings indicate that the working capital negatively influences the profitability of industrial companies in Jordan. Existing and potential financiers and stakeholders are incentivized to purchase more shares of quick conversion cash firms. More importantly, the study's findings provide practitioners with crucial financial insights and policy consequences. The combination is an important component that has directly and indirectly affected the financial status of the firm, which will eventually be reflected in its value. Current and potential investors shall evaluate the companies' total financial position rather than focusing on minor issues, such as payment days. This study contributes to the existing literature on the relationship between WCM and profitability of emerging market, and it's one of the few studies that investigate the elements of CCC individually and aggregated.

This study explores the impact of interaction, trendiness, and e-WOM as key components of social media activities influencing tourist satisfaction and revisit intention in the context of tourism marketing. Recognizing the crucial role of Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) in shaping tourist behavior, this research utilizes a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLSSEM) to assess both the outer and inner models. The study focuses on foreign tourists who have visited tourist destinations in Indonesia, with 271 respondents selected using the Slovin formula. The findings reveal that both interaction and trendiness significantly enhance tourist satisfaction, while e-WOM shows no significant impact on satisfaction. Additionally, tourist satisfaction exerts a strong influence on revisit intention. The mediating role of tourist satisfaction is confirmed between interaction, trendiness, and revisit intention, while e-WOM is found to be a non-significant mediator. In this vein, this study emphasizes the importance of interaction and trendiness as more influential elements of social media marketing, adding depth to destination branding strategies and DMO practices.

The determinants of the relationship between auditor tenure and audit report lag: evidence from an emerging market

审计任期与审计报告滞后关系的决定因素：来自新兴市场的证据

Despite widespread organizational interest in digital technologies (DT), digital transformation projects often fail largely due to employee resistance. However, research on this resistance is fragmented and lacks integration, providing only partial explanations of the phenomenon. To address this gap, this integrative review aims to identify barriers to DT adoption in the workplace. Sixty-three papers met the eligibility criteria and underwent rigorous analysis. The factors thus identified reveal that resistance originates from workers' perceived job vulnerability. This explanation, however, is limited because of the assumptions it makes concerning the functions of technologies and the resources provided by jobs. By shifting the conceptualization of digital technologies from neutral tools to agents with causal powers and acknowledging the multifaceted nature of job resources, this review proposes a reconceptualization of resistance. Drawing from theories of social conflict, it integrates previous work to develop a three-stage model of resistance that reflects how perceived threats to resources influence employees' perceptions, emotional responses, and subsequent actions in the workplace. Building on this model, we propose a comprehensive framework that uses four pathways to explain how resistance may unfold in the workplace. Furthermore, we propose several research directions to guide future investigations. In light of these findings, this integrative review also presents various theoretical and managerial implications.

超越传统抵抗与抵抗者：员工对数字化转型抵抗的综合评述

In response to the global imperative to address climate change, organizations are increasingly pressured to reduce industrial waste, curb carbon emissions, and adopt environmentally responsible practices. This study aims to investigate the interplay between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), technological innovation, and sustainable performance, with a focus on the moderating role of employee green behavior, within the manufacturing leather industry of Pakistan. According to the Resource‑Based View (RBV) theory, a firm's competitive advantage arises from its unique bundle of internal resources and capabilities, rather than solely from external factors such as market positioning or industry conditions. The study population comprises top and middle management personnel from various roles within leather manufacturing firms, selected through cluster random sampling. A total of 525 questionnaires were distributed, of which 347 were deemed suitable for analysis. Utilizing SPSS version 25 and AMOS version 25 for hypothesis testing, the findings reveal a positive and significant relationship between GHRM, technological innovation, and sustainable performance. Employee green behavior moderates the relationship between GHRM, technological innovation, and sustainable performance, emphasizing individual actions' role in sustainability. This study offers insights into this nexus, highlighting direct and indirect effects, and provides practical guidance for policymakers and managers to enhance sustainable performance through environmental priorities and targeted interventions.

This study examines the relationship between counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), as well as the role of guilt (G), emotional exhaustion (EE), organizational justice (OJ), and moral identity (MI). This study used a quantitative method. Using a questionnaire to survey employees working at state-owned enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City, we collected 379 valid responses and verified the model using Smart PLS. Results showed that CWB, G, and EE had direct effects on OCB in different ways. Regarding indirect effects, since CWB positively affects EE, EE plays a mediating role in the relationship between CWB and OCB. Furthermore, the results of the data analysis showed that OJ only moderated the relationship between CWB and EE. Finally, MI had different moderating effects on the relationships between G and OCB and EE and OCB. Since CWB does not benefit organizations or employees, organizations need to pay attention to CWB in the workplace and identify the causes that promote these behaviors to find appropriate solutions.
