ROLES OF DZONGPON IN MONYUL REGION OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH

The Mon region which includes modern-day Tawang and West Kameng, has a similar culture and adheres to Tibetan Buddhism. Only in 1951 did Indian Army official Major Bob Khating stop tax collection among the Monpas. Prior to 1951, Tibetan officials known as dzongpon used to collect various types of taxes from the region. Under the Dzongpon system, monks were appointed as Dzongpons to run the administration based on their managerial ability and strong administrative acumen. The Dzongpon were the Dzong's highest administrative authority, appointed by the appropriate authority from Tibet's monasteries. These dzongpons were in charge of collecting various types of taxes in the form of grain and other important edible items. The tax collected in the region was used in the monastery, and a portion of the tax was imported to Lhasa. Aside from Tawang, the Tibetans built two more dzongs at Dirang and Khalegteng (present-day west kameng) to collect taxes from the Monpas. The main idea of this paper is to discuss the roles and functions of Dzongpons in Monyul region. There were four dzongs in Monyul during Dzongpon period i.e. Gyang Khar Dzong, Senge Dzong, Dirang Dzong and Taklung Dzong. Except Senge Dzong each dzongpon has its own administrative unit and were appointed mostly from Tsona Dzong. This paper also explains why dzongpons were able to hold power over the Monyul region despite the signing of Mac Mohan line in the year 1914 between the representative of Tibet, British India and China.

High Discretion Slack: Penentu Keberhasilan Kinerja Organisasi Badan Usaha Miliki Desa (Bumdesa)

This research focuses on high discretion slack in achieving good organizational performance in Village-Owned Enterprises (BUM Desa). The type of data used in this research is primary data obtained from interviews with informants. This research will be conducted with a descriptive qualitative approach with a single case study on BUM Desa in Jombang district. The results showed that in BUM Desa there are unbound resources in the form of cash, working capital that can be utilized by managers in improving BUM Desa performance. However, these resources are not directly able to determine the success of BUM Desa performance. These unbound resources require the ability of managers, in this case human resources, to utilize these resources. The results of this study also show the limited ability of human resources in the village to drive BUM Desa, in addition to the low level of community participation in assisting BUM Desa management makes BUM Desa difficult to develop, even though the resources owned are high. Thus, human resource capability and village community participation are important factors to be used as benchmarks in maximizing resource utilization for the successful performance of BUM Desa.

Creating a bridge between ESG and firm's financial performance in Asian emerging markets: catalytic role of managerial ability and institutional quality

PurposeThe study is aimed at examining the impact of ESG on the financial performance (FP) of firms and determining the difference between the impact of ESG on market-oriented financial performance measure (Tobin’s Q) and internal productivity-based financial measure (ROA). The study has also explored the influence of managerial ability and institutional quality as moderating variables on the relation between ESG and the financial performance of firms (both measures of FP: Tobin’s Q and ROA).Design/methodology/approachThe study is quantitative exploratory and uses panel data of 687 publicly listed companies from the year 2013–2023. Data has been acquired from the reputed data providers and OLS regression has been used for panel data analysis with fixed effects.FindingsThe study reaffirms the positive impact of ESG on the financial performance of firms. Each pillar of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) has been found positively related to both measures of financial performance (Tobin’s Q and ROA). The study reveals that managerial ability and institutional quality, acting as supplementary variables, moderate the relationship between ESG and financial performance of firms.Research limitations/implicationsA limited sample comprising data from only 687 firms was used for the analysis. The latest data was not available, therefore, data from 2013 to 2023 was used in the study.Practical implicationsThis study indicates that ESG practices, which are mostly discretionary in Emerging Economies, can be induced through institutional pressures and ensuring higher quality managers. Policymakers in government institutions have to determine the inefficiencies, corrupt practices, and inconsistencies in policies that lower the effectiveness of institutions making them business-unfriendly. At the organizational level, policymakers need to ensure that responsible positions in the organization are held by managers with higher managerial ability. It is also to be ensured by shareholders that managers do not over-invest in ESG-related projects, particularly in organizations with weaker financial status. For managers, it is important to understand the positive benefits associated with ESG, even though they are in the long term.Social implicationsIn Emerging Economies, the official monitoring and regulatory mechanisms are weak, and lack a supportive attitude toward ESG initiatives. Voluntary and proactive firm-level environmental and social initiatives need to be encouraged and rewarded by institutions with public acknowledgment. ESG should be given priority by organizations for improving the quality of services and better social impact of businesses on society.Originality/valueMost of the past research explored the impact of ESG on financial performance in advanced countries or in emerging markets in a single/limited number of countries or industries. Also, past studies investigated the impact of institutional quality and managerial ability on ESG/financial performance in separate models. Conversely, this study has used a multi-country and multi-industry sample for more generalizable findings. Against the backdrop of the institutional environment of Emerging Economies, the study extends Institutional Theory and Upper Echelon Theory to include the role of managerial ability and institutional quality in the relationship between ESG and firms’ financial performance.

Change starts within: does managerial ability matter to green innovation?

This study delves into the crucial link between managerial ability and green innovation. Motivated by the need for sustainable business practices and the pivotal role innovation plays in environmental sustainability, we identify a significant gap in the existing literature: the specific impact of managerial ability on fostering green innovation has not been adequately explored. Our research is anchored in the resource-based view, arguing that managerial ability is a strategic resource that can significantly influence a firm’s capacity for green innovation. Our empirical analysis employs multiple regression analysis on a dataset of 2455 Chinese A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2022, examining the relationship between managerial ability and green innovation. To ensure a thorough investigation, we control for both firm-specific and year-specific fixed effects. Our findings reveal a significant positive correlation between managerial ability and green innovation, highlighting the critical role of managerial competencies in enhancing environmental innovation. Notably, subgroup analyses indicate that this relationship is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises, firms with a higher proportion of institutional investors, and in contexts with stricter environmental regulations and less developed product markets. These results not only fill the identified gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence of the impact of managerial ability on green innovation but also offer practical insights for businesses, managers, and policymakers looking to promote sustainable innovation.

Information Technology Capability, Managerial Ability, and Financial Reporting Quality: A Research Note

ABSTRACT The role of a firm’s information technology (IT) capability and managerial ability on financial reporting quality has been documented in prior literature. However, scant empirical work exists on the moderating effect of managerial ability on a firm’s IT capability and its impact on financial reporting quality. Drawing on the resource-based view of the firm and a sample of firms from 2000 to 2013, we predict and find that InformationWeek 500 (IW500) firms with high-ability managers are associated with better financial reporting quality than non-IW500 firms. Specifically, we find that IW500 firms have better financial reporting quality and are less likely to restate their financial statements in subsequent periods and the interaction of IT capability and managerial ability improves financial reporting quality. Our findings document the importance of IT and the moderating effect of managerial ability on IT in influencing financial reporting quality.

Peer comparison and management forecast behavior

ABSTRACT This study examines whether incentive contracts that compares managers’ compensation to that of stronger peers can influence voluntary disclosure behaviour and improve transparency. We obtain information regarding peer-based compensation arrangements from US public firms and find that managers whose compensation is benchmarked against peers who, on average, have higher managerial abilities, tend to issue management earnings forecasts more frequently. Furthermore, the peer comparison incentive effects are more pronounced when firms depend more on external financing, face greater product market threats, and have more endowed growth opportunities. Overall, our study highlights the effects of pressure arising from comparison with higher-quality peers on firms’ information environment. We contribute to the literature on tournament-based implicit incentives, peer effects, managerial ability, and economic consequences in the context of voluntary disclosures.

Finding Solutions to Productive Waqf Management Problems: A Case in Indonesia

Poverty is now a multifaceted problem as it is related to the inability to access and participate in society economically, socially, culturally and politically. According to the Indonesian Waqf Agency (BWI), Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population, has great potential for waqf money estimated at Rp. 1.4 trillion as of March 2022, this figure has increased when compared to the waqf money that has been collected in the 2018-2021 period of Rp. 855 billion. With a very large Muslim population and high potential for raising waqf funds, waqf in Indonesia has enormous potential as an instrument of development and poverty alleviation. Waqf can contribute to a country's economic development, It can reduce government spending, equalize income distribution, reduce poverty, and boost economic growth. Additionally, waqf has the potential to improve people's health. Essentially, the waqf should be productive as stated in the hadith. but the latest based on research results in the management process at PT Karya Mandiri Community (KMM) Parung has 2 main problems, namely human resource problems and institutional problems.

Managerial ability, political risk and political spending disclosure

PurposeWhile the determinants of voluntary political spending disclosure have been extensively studied in the literature, there remains a lack of clear evidence regarding the specific impacts of managerial ability and political risk on such disclosure. Thus, the purpose of this study is to shed light on whether and how managerial ability and political risk influence firms’ political spending disclosure.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a sample of 2,242 firm-year observations of S&P 500 companies between 2013 and 2021.FindingsThis study finds that firms with high-ability managers generally disclose more information about political spending. This positive relationship between managerial ability and political spending disclosure holds even after conducting additional tests to address potential endogeneity concerns. Furthermore, this study finds that firms operating in high-risk political environments also exhibit a greater propensity to disclose information regarding their political spending. The results remain robust to alternative measures of managerial ability and political risk.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that when designing policy to motivate firms to disclose political spending information, policy makers need to be aware of the critical role of managerial ability and idiosyncratic political risk the firm faces. In addition, this study offers insights to shareholders, advocacy groups, regulators and academics interested in understanding the determinants of political spending disclosure.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to provide empirical evidence that political spending disclosure can be explained by managerial ability and political risk. In addition, this study complements the literature on the consequences of managerial ability and political risk. Focusing on voluntary political spending disclosure, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors shaping the overall corporate information environment.

Nursing categories’ perceptions of the practice environment and quality of care in North West Province: a cross-sectional survey design

BackgroundThere is a substantial amount of literature on the perception of the practice environment and quality of care as perceived by registered nurses and community services nurses in South Africa and worldwide, but there is little to no research that could be found regarding other categories of nurses, and how these perceptions differ between the different categories. Therefore, the aim of this study is to describe the different nursing categories’ perceptions of the practice environment and quality of care and the association between the variables.MethodsThis study applied a cross-sectional survey design. Data were collected in April 2021 in the public sector of the North West Province. Multiphase sampling was applied to all categories of nurses who worked in an in-patient unit in the selected hospital for at least 3 months (n = 236).ResultsAll nursing categories perceived the practice environment as negative, regarding nurse participation in hospital affairs; nurse manager ability, leadership, and support of nurses and staffing and resource adequacy. Perceived quality of care and patient safety items were perceived as neutral and good. However, in all instances, the perceptions of community service nurses and registered nurses were most negative, and enrolled nurse assistants most positive. Adverse events towards patients and nurses were perceived to only occur a few times a year. Overall, nurse perceptions of quality of care and patient safety were most correlated with the subscale of nurse foundations of quality of care and nurse manager ability, leadership, and support of nurses. Adverse events towards patients were most correlated with the collegial nurse-physician relationship subscale, while adverse events towards nurses were correlated with the foundations of quality of care subscale.ConclusionImproving the practice environment, especially regarding the subscale nurse foundations of quality of care and nurse manager ability, leadership, and support of nurses, is associated with improved quality of care. Nurses with higher qualifications, registered nurses and community service nurses rated quality of care lower than other categories of nurses, contributing to literature that higher qualified staff are more competent to assess the practice environment and quality of care.

Managerial ability, intellectual property rights, R&D: does firm age play a role?

PurposeThe interplay between individual and collective creativity and its translation into innovation is a critical yet complex challenge in the ever-evolving innovation landscape. This study delves into the intricate relationship between managerial ability, intellectual property rights (IPRs) and research and development (R&D) investments contextualized within the dynamics of leverage, firm life stages and tangibility for pharmaceutical firms in the Asia-Pacific region. By exploring how micro-level factors influence macro-level innovation processes, this study aims to contribute to the broader understanding of creativity and innovation, a theme at the heart of addressing contemporary global challenges.Design/methodology/approachEconometric methodologies were used to analyse a data set comprising 2,660 firm-year observations spanning the decade from 2011 to 2020.FindingsA key finding was that companies with lower managerial prowess strategically leverage R&D intensity to signal their value to the market and accrue reputational currency. The research unearths a significant positive relationship between managerial ability, IPRs and R&D investment. In environments characterized by strong managerial acumen and robust IPR safeguards, firms exhibit a heightened propensity to allocate resources to R&D endeavours. This underscores the role of intellectual leadership and legal protections in shaping R&D strategies within the pharmaceutical domain. Incorporating firm life stages as a moderating factor reveals that firm maturity fundamentally influences the interplay between managerial ability, IPRs and R&D expenditure.Originality/valueThese findings’ implications resonate profoundly within policy-making circles and pharmaceutical firms’ day-to-day operational strategies, underscoring the pivotal role of intellectual capital and legal safeguards in shaping the future of innovation in the Asia-Pacific pharmaceutical sector.

The influence of managerial ability on corporate financialization

This study investigates the influence of managerial ability on corporate financialization level. We find that stronger managerial ability leads to more financial asset holdings owing to fewer financing constraints realized through highly capable managers' higher revenue-generating capacity and lower risks in financial asset investments resulting from their higher ability to recognize quality financial products. We further explore the influence of managerial ability on corporate financialization level in the presence of high-quality information disclosure, managers' financial institution work experience, high economic policy uncertainty, and employee stock ownership. We find that high-quality information disclosure and managers' financial institution work experience strengthen the positive correlation between corporate financialization level and managerial ability. However, high economic policy uncertainty and employee stock ownership weaken the positive correlation between corporate financialization level and managerial ability. Our findings suggest that managers who are more capable of generating revenue during operating activities tend to hold more financial assets, whereas adding constraints to corporate financing activities may hinder managers’ ability to address financial asset investment risks, thus reducing corporate financialization level.
