A Scale to Measure the Level of Management Orientation of the Members of Farmer Producer Company with Reference to Potato Production in Assam, India

In the absence of a suitable scale to measure the management orientation of potato growers in relation to potato planning, potato production and potato marketing in Assam, there was a need to construct a management orientation scale. Therefore, effort was made to construct a scale to measure the level of management orientation of the members of the Farmer Producer Company with reference to potato production in Assam. A scale was developed with Likert’s summated rating technique. A list of 90 statements resulted after edition of 110 statements as per the fourteen criteria suggested by Thurstone and Chave. Statements were sent to 80 extension specialist working in various field of Assam Agricultural University for the critical evaluation of statements on a 3 point continuum. Based on the responses received from 60 out of 80 judges, the relevancy percentage (RP), Relevancy Weightage (RW) and Mean Relevancy Scores (MRS) were estimated. 74 items with RP > 60, RW > 0.60 and overall MRS > 2.0 were considered for item analysis. These items were administrated to 40 farmers for item analysis and items with ‘t’ value equal or greater than 1.75 were selected and those with ‘t’ value below 1.75 were rejected. Out of 74 statements, 30 statements were retained on the final scale through t-test item analysis. Thus, the instrument developed to measure the level of management orientation of the members of farmer producer company with reference to potato production in Assam consists of 20 positive and 10 negative statements. The dependability coefficient was determined using Rulon's formula and it was 0.8994. As a result, the developed scale was proven to be highly reliable. The scale developed to measure the level of management orientation of the members of Farmer Producer Company with reference to potato production in Assam is found to be reliable and can be utilized by researchers in similar studies. This scale will be very advantageous and convenient for researchers to examine the management orientation of potato growers in relation to potato planning, potato production and potato marketing.

M&A contracts in Ukraine: legal regulation and the mechanism of their conclusion

The article is devoted to the study of legal regulation of M&A contracts and mechanisms of their conclusion in Ukraine as a generally accepted way of business scaling. The author establishes that, according to the current regulatory provisions, M&A contracts may be embodied in the following ways: reorganisation procedures of mergers and acquisitions; establishment of control over an enterprise by acquiring a share in the authorised capital or shares of a company; asset deal, as well as a loan agreement with an alternative obligation within the Diia City legal regime. The author stated the diversity of legislation on reorganisation in the form of mergers and acquisitions - the detailed, step-by-step, European-compliant regulation of mergers and acquisitions of joint stock companies contrasts with fragmented and scattered legislation on reorganisation of other types of business entities. It has been emphasised that despite the complexity and resource­consuming nature of reorganisation in the form of mergers and acquisitions, business entities use these procedures due to their inherent universal succession, which in turn leads to tax-neutral consequences of the changes. The author additionally argues that negotiability relates to the share in the authorised capital of a company, and not to corporate rights. Based on the analysis of the legislative framework and law enforcement practice, the author establishes that an alienation agreement of a share in the authorised capital may be: concluded with both company members and third parties; with or without consideration; concluded only in respect of a paid share (at the same time, the legislative prohibition on alienation of unpaid shares in an LLC is aimed at protecting the legitimate interests of other persons, not company members who have not paid for the share); concluded both orally and in writing. The author outlines the regulatory peculiarities of acquiring a significant and controlling shareholding in joint stock companies. The author systematises the types of contracts which are asset deals by their very nature. It has been substantiated the expediency of transferring debts as a part of a single property complex to its acquirer. The article examines the legal regulation of loan agreements with alternative obligations, which are in essence analogous to the convertible loan mechanism common abroad. The author emphasises that despite the principle of freedom of contract, a loan agreement with an alternative obligation cannot be used outside the legal regime of the Diia City. It was concluded that it is necessary to regulate in more detail the conclusion of such an agreement; the variables used in calculating the creditor’s share; the rights and obligations of the creditor and the debtor.

Association between Disaster Knowledge Level and the First Step of Stockpiling Food for a Disaster.

This study clarifies the association between disaster knowledge levels and beginning to stockpile food at home as a disaster preparedness. This survey was conducted between 18-20 December 2019 using a self-administered web-based questionnaire. The participants were recruited from panel members of an online survey company. A total of 1,200 adults living in the five Japanese prefectures with the highest predicted food shortages after the anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake, took part in the study. Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between disaster knowledge level and beginning food stockpiling (p for trend <0.001). Compared with those who had a low level of disaster knowledge, participants who had a medium level of knowledge were 2.11 times more likely to begin stockpiling food (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 2.11, 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.49-2.97), whereas those with the highest knowledge level were 2.52 times more likely to begin stockpiling food (adjusted OR: 2.52, 95% CI: 1.79-3.56). Beginning food stockpiling can be the first step toward disaster preparedness. It is considered that people with low disaster knowledge levels are more likely to have no beginning food stockpiling and are at high risk for disasters. These findings suggest ways to approach prioritizing people facing high disaster risk.

The Flexibility of Company Law: The Lessons of the Hungarian Law Reform

Until 2013, the substantive rules of Hungarian company law were regulated by various company acts. When Hungary adopted a new Civil Code in 2013, it included, for the first time in Hungarian legal history, the substantive rules of company law. One of the most controversial novelties of the new company law rules was the provision that gave unprecedented freedom to company members to deviate from the company law rules of the Civil Code, as long as the Civil Code does not expressly prohibit the deviation or it does not manifestly prejudice to the rights of creditors, employees or a minority of the members of the legal person or hider the supervision of the lawful operation of the legal person. This article analyses this provision from a comparative perspective. The analysis compares the English, American, German and Hungarian solutions and finds that there are significant differences regarding the right of the parties to determine the company’s articles of association. Building on the findings of this comparison, the article argues that a more enabling regulatory approach could facilitate the pursuit of interests beyond the narrow interests of company members, using the example of corporate purpose and employee participation.

Effectiveness of an online text-based stress management program for employees who work in micro- and small-sized enterprises: A randomized controlled trial

BackgroundInternet psychoeducational interventions improve employees' mental health. However, implementing them for employees in micro- and small-sized enterprises (MSEs) is challenging. ObjectivesThis randomized controlled trial examined the effectiveness of a fully automated text-based stress management program, “WellBe-LINE,” in improving mental health and job-related outcomes for employees in workplaces with fewer than 50 employees. MethodsThe program was developed based on stakeholder interviews and surveys of 1000 employees at MSEs. Adult full-time employees at an enterprise with fewer than 50 employees were recruited from registered members of a web survey company in Japan. Participants were randomly allocated to the intervention or control group (1:1). Participants in the intervention group were invited to register for the program using the LINE app. Psychological distress measured by Kessler 6 (K6) was a primary outcome, with self-administrated questionnaires at baseline, 2-month (post), and 6-month follow-ups. A mixed model for repeated measures conditional growth model analysis was conducted using a group ∗ time interaction as an intervention effect. Implementation outcomes were measured through implementation outcome scales for digital mental health (iOSDMH). Results1021 employees were included in this study. No significant effects were shown in any outcome. The reported implementation outcomes were positively evaluated, with 80 % acceptability, 86 % appropriateness, and feasibility (ease of understanding the contents [88 %], frequency [86 %], and length of content [86 %]). ConclusionsA simple text-message program for employees at MESs was acceptable, appropriate, and feasible; however, it did not result in improved mental health or job-related outcomes. Trial registrationUMIN clinical trial registration: UMIN000050624 (registration date: March 18, 2023).

Ugovorna odstupanja zakonom uređenih nekih prava članova privrednih društava na dispozitivan način od principa srazmernosti kapital učešća u kompanijskom pravu

The diversity of legal forms of companies and their legal nature determines the different approach of a legislator to the regulation of rights of those company members. Nevertheless, the dominant determination related to organization of the form of partnerships (general partnership and limited partnership) is dispositive nature of the regulation, which enables those company members to deviate from these rules in the organization of company rights in the constitutive acts, of their own free will, and to adapt them to their interests (deviation from the proportionality principle of share in the company right). The same applies to a good extent to a limited liability company, although it is of mixed legal nature of both partnership and corporation. On the other hand, the regulation of joint stock companies (especially open – public and mostly of those closed – non-public) is mostly mandatory, reducing party autonomy in regulating the rights of shareholders to the maximum possible extent down to the level of exception. This paper discusses the issue of possible limits to party autonomy of members of partnerships, as well as members of limited liability companies, in regulating some management, property, and special rights, such as the clauses created by the so-called good business practice (leonine clauses). In addition to that, considering that constitutive acts of companies and limited liability companies are also of contractual nature (which is exclusive at the moment of establishment), along with dispositive legal basis, the consideration is taken related to the question of the application of some general institutes of the contract law in the field of limiting the principle of freedom of contract, such as public order, good (business) customs, conscientiousness and honesty, abuse of rights, creation and exploitation of a monopoly in the market, equivalence of performance, equality of contracting parties, duty of care, etc. Finally, despite the identical nature of constitutive acts of the joint-stock company, given that they have a dominantly mandatory legal basis, which narrows or excludes the freedom of contract in the regulation of some rights of shareholders in the company, the issue of special legal institutes is also considered enriching the lack or narrowing of the freedom of contract of shareholders with special legal institutes which, by the will of the law (to a lesser extent by the free will of the company shareholders – e.g. voting contracts, special shareholder benefits) adapt this form of a company to the interests of shareholders (while preserving the principle of equal treatment of shareholders or equal treatment of shareholders of the same class).

Determining the amounts of membership interests in the charter capital of a limited liability company as an appropriate way to protect the rights of the member through legal proceedings

In the modern context of corporate law, the study of the effectiveness of the protection of corporate rights of participants in limited liability companies (hereinafter – LLC) is an extremely relevant topic for research. Limited liability companies are the most common organisational and legal form among legal entities for conducting business activities in Ukraine, especially at the levels of small and medium- sized businesses. In this regard, the legislative regulation should be based on accessible and reliable mechanisms for protecting the rights and interests of participants, and quick and fair resolution of internal conflicts that may threaten the viability of the business. The processes of state registration of information about limited liability companies are defining components of the transparency of business activities of this type of legal entity. The article focuses on the importance of the unity of law enforcement practice and legal positions of commercial courts in consideration of corporate disputes, which is an important factor for the protection of property rights, stimulation of investments, and ensuring the stability of the corporate sector of the economy. The legal positions of the Supreme Court regarding the exhaustive list of ways to protect the rights of an LLC member have been explored. It is noted that to protect the rights of members of limited liability companies in cases where their corporate rights have been violated, it is important to consider the provisions of part 5 of article 17 of the Law of Ukraine “On State Registration of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs and Public Organisations”. An analysis of judicial decisions reveals controversial issues regarding the application of the provisions of this Law. Within this article, an assessment of the effectiveness of current mechanisms for protecting corporate rights is provided, opportunities for their improvement are identified, and recommendations for improving legislative regulation and judicial practice are developed. Special attention is paid to the analysis of ways to protect the rights and interests of participants in the context of state registration of changes to the charter capital and the amounts of membership interests, as well as the assessment of the proportionality and adequacy of the applied measures.

Multi Level Marketing From A Sharia Economic Perspective

Multi-level marketing (MLM) is a business model in which a company sells products through a network of independent distributors. From a sharia economic perspective, MLM often causes debate because some of its practices can be questioned from a sharia compliance perspective. First of all, MLM emphasizes the aspect of buying and selling products, which is in line with sharia economic principles which encourage legitimate business activities and avoid usurious or speculative transactions. However, many MLMs face criticism because they tend to focus more on recruiting new members than actual product sales. This is contrary to sharia principles which emphasize justice and honesty in business. Second, in MLM, there is an element of profit sharing which is usually disproportionate between the company, distributors and network members. In sharia economics, the distribution of profits must be fair and balanced, and practices that cause injustice in the distribution of profits must be avoided.

Transformation of integrated formations in industry

Modern realities are such that the priority in the activities of any company is its efficiency, and it does not matter in what area or sector of the economy it operates. Making a profit is the main goal for managers, and even more so for company owners, and any opportunity to minimize costs and thereby increase their assets will be used by business. One such way for large corporations to reduce costs is to move from the status of a holding structure to that of a group of companies. If necessary, companies that have chosen such an organizational and legal form can quickly respond to changes in the external environment and focus the necessary company resources in one direction to promptly decide on a strategic task and its immediate implementation. Such associations manifest themselves most clearly in extreme conditions, and where other companies go into the red, they show positive dynamics in revenue growth. The article presents the results of the author’s research on the above topic. For analysis, some aspects of the organizational activities of holding structures and groups of companies were selected, such as legal issues, the status of companies, the possibility of bankruptcy and mutual liability of organizations within the company, consolidation and redistribution of profits, finances, resources, means of production and logistics; image and business reputation; control system; risks; relationships with partners and employees; pricing policy and taxation. Groups of companies operating in agro-industrial complexes and agriculture have proven to be more mobile and adapt faster in unstable economic conditions due to the decentralization of legally free company members.

카지노 리더⋅구성원의 교환관계가 잡크래프팅과 인게이지먼트에 미치는 영향

Due to the impact of COVID-19 over the past three years, most casino companies in Korea have experienced a significant loss in sales, the departure of key personnel, and organizational downsizing. Particularly, the issue of key personnel leaving casino companies, while an inevitable survival strategy during the pandemic, now poses a major challenge for businesses due to the resulting shortage of high-quality labor. To address this issue, company members must find personal meaning in their work and fully engage with their responsibilities, and the relationship between leaders and the members they oversee should be strengthened. Thus, this study aimed to elucidate the effect of leader-member exchange (LMX) on members' job crafting and engagement, and to examine whether members' core self-evaluations moderate the relationship between LMX and job crafting. We employed structural equation modeling to analyze the relationship between the independent variable (leadermember exchange), the mediating variable (job crafting), and the dependent variable (engagement), and used SPSS Process Macro's model 4 and model 7 to analyze the moderating effect of core self-evaluation. The survey participants were employees of domestic casino companies, selected as the study population. Over three weeks, from July 3 to July 23, 2023, we distributed 270 surveys through both online and offline methods, and analyzed the 255 responses collected. The findings are as follows: First, LMX was shown to impact members' job crafting. Second, the job crafting of members was found to influence engagement. Third, LMX was found to affect members' engagement directly. Additionally, the mediating role of job crafting in the relationship between LMX and engagement was confirmed. Lastly, it was determined that members' core self-evaluation moderates the relationship between LMX and job crafting. Therefore, to enhance human resources post-COVID-19, casino companies should implement and manage the concepts of LMX, job crafting, core self-evaluation, and engagement within their management practices.

A systematic review with meta-analysis of supply chain agility antecedents and its effect on firm performance

PurposeThe rising complexity of business changes has increasingly highlighted the requirements to provide a comprehensive and empirical framework for the supply chain agility (SCA). A review of extant studies shows that the results are complicated and ambiguous. Moreover, this study is a meta-analytical review of previous empirical studies to identify SCA antecedents and effects of SCA on firm performance.Design/methodology/approachAccording to the protocol, 64 studies were chosen as the sample to survey the relationships between five clusters of SC allopoietic properties (SCAPs) (SC connectivity, symbiotic relationship (SR), cognitive openness (CO), homeostasis and collaboration) and SCA, as well as its effects on firm performance.FindingsAmong antecedents, horizontal collaboration’s effect on SCA is the strongest, and the relationship between SR-SCA and CO-SCA is less than moderate. SCA affects firm performance and its dimensions, with a stronger effect on financial performance (FP). Furthermore, the SCA study in the framework of allopoietic systems is a good starting point for future research.Practical implicationsManagers are advised to constantly review repetitive interactions between the company and its environment and to learn about interactions between SC and the environment. Learning from these interactions and disseminating their explicit knowledge among company members lead to a quick response to the environmental instability.Originality/valueAs the first meta-analysis on SCA antecedents and its effects on firm performance, this study contributes to the SCA literature and provides research directions for the future.

An effect of dynamic logistics capabilities on courier’s business performance

Courier companies face environmental challenges influenced by the development of e-commerce businesses, demanding high service quality and reliability in meeting consumer demand. Courier companies demand to&lt;br /&gt;immediately adjust company strategies to be able to survive in competitive market conditions, the only way is to continue to keep dynamic on internal capability. This study develops and tests a model of the relationship between dynamic logistic capabilities, environmental turbulence, and business performance. As quantitative research, a survey was used to collect data. A sample of 70 valid answers from courier company members of the Association of Indonesian Express Delivery, Postal, and Logistics Services Companies(ASPERINDO) was treated through the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. The research results show a full mediation relationship between dynamic logistics capability and business performance, given the proportion of the impact of dynamic logistics capabilities on business performance (72.7%) identified in this study. As a result, the main result points out that the positive correlation between dynamic logistics capabilities and business performance strengthens the relationship evidence in the literature that dynamic logistics capabilities contribute to business performance, that is, sales growth, delivery reliability and security.

Environmental responsibility and corporate governance: Assessing the impact of gender diversity on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in German listed companies

This empirical research study delves into the correlation between the ‍emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) and the diversity of board members in German-listed companies. The investigation aims to determine whether board gender diversity impacts a company’s commitment to reducing GHG emissions. To explore this relationship, panel data analysis uses a sample of German publicly traded companies. These firms are known for their solid environmental governance and are subject to women board directors’ quota requirements over a specific period. Our study employs multiple identification techniques to examine the impact of women’s board diversity (WBD) on GHG emissions. The results reveal that WBD does not significantly influence GHG emissions. This outcome remains consistent using robust two-stage least squares (2SLS) regression analysis. However, when we introduce a dummy variable for WBD at ‍the 1–25% level, we observe a positive impact of WBD on GHG ‍emissions. This finding supports the critical mass theory, which suggests that the presence of at least 25% of women on board favours a reduction in GHG emissions. The insights from this research hold significance for policymakers, investors, and corporate leaders seeking to understand the potential advantages of gender diversity in mitigating environmental impacts. Our study supports the concept of social loafing (Williams &amp; Karau, 1991) and the critical mass theory (Torchia et al., 2010) in explaining a ‍relationship between WBD and GHG emissions in German publicly traded companies in the S&amp;P Global 1200 Index.

상사의 윤리적 리더십이 구성원의 조직몰입 및 직무성과에 미치는 영향

This study was conducted to contribute to the establishment of correct ethical leadership by identifying the influence relationship between variables in the process where the ethical leadership of superiors as perceived by organizational members of a hotel company leads to organizational commitment and job performance through building organizational culture. To achieve the research purpose, 210 questionnaires were distributed to hotel employees working at 5-star hotels in Busan from September 1, 2023 to September 15, 2023, and actual analysis was conducted using the final 206 samples. For statistical analysis, IBM SPSS Ver. The 23.0 program was utilized, and the research results are as follows. First, the sub-factors that make up the superior's ethical leadership, Normative Behavior, Communication, Fairness, and Integrity, were found to have a significant positive influence on employees' organizational commitment. Second, members' organizational commitment was found to have a significant positive (+) effect on job performance. Third, the sub-factors that make up the supervisor's ethical leadership, Normative Behavior, Communication, and Integrity, were found to have a significant positive (+) effect on job performance. In the end, it can be seen that in hotel companies, if superiors adhere to organizational norms and perform normative actions such as presenting work standards, it has a positive effect on employees' job attitudes and performance. At the same time, the supervisor's sincerity and fairness, interest in organizational members, and principle-based decision-making will stimulate members' motivation for work, thereby increasing job immersion and job performance.

Association between the telecommuting environment and somatic symptoms among teleworkers in Japan.

This study aimed to clarify the association between telecommuting environments and somatic symptoms among teleworkers in Japan. This cross-sectional study, conducted from September 27 to October 29, 2021, used data from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS study) in Japan. Of the 31 000 male and female respondents, who were Japanese residents aged 15-79years and were randomly selected from the panel members of an internet survey company, 4569 home-based teleworkers were finally included in the analysis; 26 431 respondents who met the exclusion criteria were excluded. The analysis included 4 cut-offs (≥4, 8, 12, and 16 points) for somatic symptoms on the Somatic Symptom Scale-8 as objective variables, and the telecommuting environment, such as having adequate desk light and a quiet environment, as explanatory variables. Adjusted Poisson regression analysis was conducted using demographic variables as covariates. The prevalence ratio (PR) for somatic symptoms increased significantly as the number of poor telecommuting conditions increased, regardless of the cut-off value for somatic symptoms or the frequency of teleworking. In the telecommuting environment, the PR for somatic symptoms was significantly higher for the following 6 items: poor teleworking space to concentrate, inadequate foot space, poor communication environment, poor space for relaxation, noise, and inappropriate temperature and humidity. These results suggest that for home-based teleworkers, the more inadequate the telecommuting environment, especially in the aforementioned 6 areas, the higher the likelihood of somatic symptoms. Improving these environments may be useful in preventing various somatic symptoms.

From Organizational Gossip to a Corporate Crisis: A Network Analysis of Anonymous Online Communication on the Blind Application

This study examined an anonymous online community, Blind, while focusing on the role of social networks in information flow, to explain how internal organizational gossip is diffused to employees of other companies and even to the public through its distinctive network structures. We analyzed three cases of gossip networks that differed in terms of the organizations involved and issue severity. The findings suggest that online gossip networks with a large size, low connectedness, and high centralization can easily diffuse information to community members and the outside public. Logistic regression Quadratic Assignment Procedures (QAPs) were used to examine the endogenous and exogenous effects in each network. The results showed that the receiver effect of company size negatively predicted tie formation in NAVER and Samsung’s gossip networks, indicating that gossip diffusion was more likely facilitated by members of smaller companies actively commenting on gossip. The homophily effect of working for the same company predicted tie formation in Samsung’s gossip network, indicating the difficulty of gossip diffusion to external members. Finally, the results of the structural hole analysis suggest that journalists play an important role in issue delivery and gossip diffusion in NAVER’s case. The findings reveal that internal workplace gossip can spill over an organizational boundary online and develop into a corporate crisis.
