A comparative study of Non-Colour Bank segment among leading paint brands in Asansol market

The Indian paint industry is one of the fastest growing ones in the country, maintaining double digit growth rates over the last few years, primarily due to shift in consumption patterns of the decorative paints. However, the Non-Colour Bank (NCB) segment consisting of enamels, primers, thinners, are not showing similar growth patterns, and is dominated by one firm. This study investigates the Availability, On-time delivery, Incentive schemes, and Customer Service pattern of Non-Colour Bank (NCB) products of Asian Paints Ltd., the market leader, and Other Brands, primarily including Berger Paints Ltd. in the Asansol Municipal Corporation area. The results will help Berger Paints, the market follower, to be aware of its position in the market while also assist other firms in finding out the lacunae regarding various NCB products in Asansol area in order to compete and have a strategic edge over other paint brands in the survey area.

ECOPRENEURSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE: A STUDY OF QUOTED PAINT MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN NIGERIA

This study investigates the impact of ecopreneurship on the organisational performance of quoted paint manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The objective of the study is to examine the dimensions of ecopreneurship, including eco-innovation, eco-production, green supply chain management, waste management, and eco-marketing, and their influence on organizational performance. The study also explores the moderating effects of environmental commitment and government regulations on this relationship. The study adopts a positivist research philosophy and employs a quantitative research approach. The study population consists of 438 employees from four paint manufacturing companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange, namely CAP Plc, Berger Paints Plc, Meyer Paint Plc, and Premier Paints Plc. Questionnaires were used as the primary data collection method, and a pilot study was conducted to validate the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. The findings of the study indicate that eco-marketing has a positive and significant effect on the organizational performance of quoted paint manufacturing companies in Nigeria (β = 0.466, t = 5.195, p < 0.05). Eco-innovation (β = 0.082, t = 0.748, p>0.05) and waste management (β = 0.057, t = 0.511, p>0.05) show positive but insignificant effects, while eco-production (β = -0.136, t = -1.093, p>0.05) and green supply chain management (β = -0.051, t = -0.447, p>0.05) exhibit negative but insignificant effects on organizational performance. The overall relationship between ecopreneurship dimensions and organizational performance is positive but relatively low, with the dimensions accounting for only 9.5% of the variations in organizational performance. An environmental commitment was found to moderate the relationship between ecopreneurship and organizational performance. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of adopting ecopreneurial practices, particularly eco-marketing, to enhance the organizational performance of quoted paint manufacturing companies in Nigeria. It emphasizes the need for a strong commitment to environmental sustainability within organizations and suggests the integration of environmentally friendly production processes. Regulators and policymakers are encouraged to formulate and enforce policies that promote ecopreneurship practices in order to ensure environmental protection and enhance organisational performance.

The Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on Employees’ Performance (EP): A Mediating Role of Organization Commitment (OC) in the Multinationals Companies (MNCs) of Pakistan

CSR appears to affect employee attitudes and behaviors, according to previous studies. However, actual evidence is scarce, especially in developing economies like Pakistan. As a result, the purpose of this research is to enrich the present literature on corporate social responsibility by analyzing the influence of CSR on employee performance by employing social identity theory. In addition, the role of Organization Commitment (OC) has been investigated in the current study. To conduct the study, the data were collected from employees of the six Multinationals Companies (MNCs) of Pakistan which are: “Jazz, Careem, Attock Refinery Limited, Berger Paints Pakistan, and McDonald's, Pakistan”. The findings of the study show that corporate social responsibility (CSR) has a major effect on employee performance and commitment. The results also show that OC mediates the link between CSR and employee performance to some degree. In addition, it helps in the administration of organizations by promoting employee commitment through corporate social responsibility activities. Additionally, the organization's reputation can be enhanced as a result of improved employee performance and increased corporate social responsibility. 
 Keywords: Organizational Commitment (OC), Employee Performance, Multinationals Companies (MNCs), Pakistan, and The Social Identity Theory

Impact Of Heavy Metals On Water And Soil Environment Of A Paint Industry

A study on the heavy metal impact of a paint industry effluent on the surrounding water and soil environment was carried out. This investigation included a variety of sample types essentially related to the impact assessment. The effluent samples collected from Berger Paints Bangladesh Ltd., Savar, were found to contain K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn and Sr with the mean concentrations of 9.78, 221, 0.027, 0.031, 0.067 and 0.29 mg L-1, and values of pH, EC, TDS, TSS, BOD and COD measured in those samples were 5.8, 1.28 mS cm-1, 1084 mgL-1, 66 mg L-1 and 101 mg L-1, respectively. The mean concentrations of K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn and Sr in groundwater samples and the values of pH, EC, TDS, TSS found in those samples were 1.58, 16.27, 0.25, 0.013, 0.058 and 0.14 mg L-1 and 7.2, 0.17 mS cm-1, 145 mg L-1, and 10 mg L-1, respectively. The effluent receiving pond water showed the presence of K, Ca, Fe, Zn, Br, and Sr with the average concentrations of 3.37, 23, 0.32, 0.37, 0.03 and 0.11 mg L-1, respectively. The respective concentrations of elements-K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br, Rb and Sr detected in aquatic plant (Halenchi shak) growing on effluent receiving pond water were 46400, 4846, 148, 174, 12.7, 62, 37, 124 and 23 mg kg-1.

Lead Content of Enamel Paints in Leading Paint Companies in Bangladesh

Lead (Pb) compounds have been historically used by paint manufacturers. Lead is added to paint to speed up drying, increase durability, maintain a fresh appearance, and resist moisture that causes corrosion. The study was carried out to determine the total lead content in enamel paint in major paint companies in Bangladesh. Twenty five enamel paint samples from 5 brands (5 colours in each brand) manufactured by the major players- Berger, Asian, Roxy, Pailac and Elite Paints were randomly purchased from various markets in Dhaka, Bangladesh during the months of January- April 2012. The paint samples were purchased in the sizes of 50 ml, 100 ml, 200 ml, 500 ml and 1 L depending upon the availability. Samples were analysed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometer using Air-Acetylene flame at the wavelength of 217 nm, band pass 0.5 nm, measurement time 4 second, background correction -D₂ (prescribed by AA Spectrometers Methods Manual of Thermo Electron Corporation). Lead was found in all enamel paint samples tested. 96% (24 out of 25 samples) of the enamel paint samples did not meet the specification for lead content prescribed by US and China limit. The average concentration of lead in all enamel paint samples ranged from 55 to 114010 ppm. Highest (114010 ppm) concentration of lead was detected in Golden yellow of Robbialac Acrylic Distemper manufactured by Berger paints which is 1267 times higher than the US and China limit for new paints (90 ppm). Lowest (55 ppm) concentration of lead was detected in white brand of paints manufactured by Pailac paints. The average concentration of lead for yellow enamel paints of all the five brands was 75286 ppm followed by orange which was 54708.2 ppm, green 28926 ppm, black 14967.2 ppm and finally white enamel paint contained 357.4 ppm. Formulation of a national policy on paint manufacture and its proper implementation is inevitable to stop the use of lead in paints in Bangladesh.
