A Study of the Effect of Beauty Consumer Sentiment after Covid-19 on Hair Salon Revisit Intention

Purpose: As social distancing continues due to the pandemic, research results show that psychologically exhausted people are willing to increase consumption despite their perception of safety due to compensation psychology. Following research results showing that the safety of beauty must be ensured due to Covid-19, it is being argued that the beauty industry, which was greatly affected by the economic downturn, should be revitalized as Covid-19 enters a phase of calming down again. Therefore, there is a need to verify what factors influence customers who visited hair salons before Covid-19 to revisit the salon. The purpose of this study is to present a positive impact as a way to stimulate the intention to revisit hair salons.
 Method: The data of this study was an online survey targeting men and women who had experience of using hair salons. we aim to analyze the effect of Beauty Consumer Sentiment after Covid-19 and its sub-factors on Hair salon Revisit Intention. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 25.0, and first exploratory factor analysis was performed to analyze the validity of the measurement tool. Reliability was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Frequency analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were performed. Independent t-test, Pearson’s correlation analysis and regression analysis were performed.
 Results: Beauty Consumer Sentiment after Covid-19 had a significant positive effect on Hair salon Revisit Intention. Among the subfactors of Beauty Consumer Sentiment after Covid-19, Safety Expectations and Psychological Compensation did not have a significant positive influence on Hair Salon Revisit Intention. Among the subfactors of Beauty Consumer Sentiment after Covid-19, service expectation had a significant positive effect on Hair salon revisit intention.
 Conclusion: As Beauty consumer sentiment improves, repeat visits increase. Among consumer psychology, it was found that service expectation had a positive influence. This can be said to be a similar result to how service quality affects repeat visits. The reason why safety expectations have not had an impact after Covid-19 is because safety is fully recognized, so safety cannot be seen as leading to repeat visits. It can be said to be a differentiated study in that it yielded different results from existing studies on safety and compensation psychology. In future research, we hope to overcome the limitations of this study and to achieve objective and clear research results by diversifying the study in more detail by region and age.

Debunking the One-size-fits-all Approach: Synergistic and Trade-off Effects of Collective Action on Household Food Security Among the Smallholder Farmers in Central Kenya

Collective action is important in ameliorating the negative externalities in agriculture to promote household food security (HFS). This study explored the effects of efficiency and livelihood collective action initiatives (CAIs) on HFS along the pathways of production and income. The efficiency CAIs pursue efficiency-enhancing collective activities including input sourcing and output marketing. The livelihood CAIs engage in household livelihood and resilience enhancing collective activities such as provision of credit and informal insurance, pooling savings and acquisition of assets. A multinomial endogenous treatment effects (METE) model and an ordered probit model were employed on cross-sectional data drawn from 532 households from Murang’a County in central Kenya. The results revealed significant differences in HFS between the efficiency and livelihood CAIs. The differences were accounted for by the variations in household and organizational characteristics that determine the capacity to leverage HFS benefits along the pathways of production and income. Both efficiency and livelihood CAIs showed a positive significant effect on HFS through production. The results further showed that income positively influenced HFS among the livelihood members contrary to efficiency CAIs that showed negative HFS effects. The HFS across the combined pathways of income and production was lower for the efficiency CAIs than the livelihood CAIs. This was mainly due to the trade-off income effects exhibited by the former and the synergies accrued from income and production on the latter. The findings suggest that the overall performance of both efficiency and livelihood CAIs in leveraging HFS from joint income and production remains tentative. Therefore, a one-size-fits-all collective action promotional policy and program design approaches for improved HFS outcomes are inadequate. The study suggests a portfolio of context-specific collective action policies and interventions that match the differences between the efficiency and livelihood CAIs and their links to HFS. The policies would confer potential synergies, spillover effects and complementarities in strengthening the synergies while mitigating the trade-offs along the income and production pathways between the efficiency and livelihood CAIs. There is a need to enhance access to information, extension and advisory services and ICT among the members of the livelihood CAIs to improve production. It is important to incentivize the non-farm livelihood-enhancing economic activities among the livelihood members to fill the household food gaps arising from low production. It is also important to establish collective action funds and micro-credit schemes with affordable interest rates. This would help to tap the opportunities for credit sourcing and pooling savings among the livelihood members while promoting collective input sourcing and output marketing among the efficiency CAIs.

Organizational Culture and Performance of Quasi-Public Institutions Within the Pension Industry in Kenya: A Case of Local Authorities Pension Trust

This study intended to examine the organizational culture and performance of quasi-public institutions within the pension industry in Kenya with a focus on Local Authorities Pension Trust. Key theories under review in this research paper were the Balance Score Card theory, Scheins organizational culture theory and Institutional theory. Descriptive research design was employed and utilized by this research. The 224 staff working in Local Authorities Pension Trust offices across the country formed the target population of this study. In order to determine the sample size, simple random sampling was utilized. For this research, the researcher utilized a questionnaire to collect data from responders. There were both open-ended and closed-ended questions on the survey. To determine the connection between organizational culture and performance, the researcher did a multiple regression analysis. Questionnaires were utilized for gathering quantitative data, which were then evaluated employing descriptive statistics in SPSS and displayed in the form of tables, pie charts, and bar graphs. The data gathered was leveraged to create pie charts, bar graphs, and tables that illustrated facts about the link between organizational culture and performance at Local Authorities Pension Trust. The study found that a balanced mix of clan culture, adhocracy culture, market culture and hierarchical culture had a positive significant effect on the performance of LAPTRUST. The study concludes that in a clan culture, employees are encouraged to participate in decision-making processes, share their ideas, and contribute to the overall success of the organization. The study recommended that the organization should encourage cross-functional teams and collaboration across departments to break down silos and promote innovation. The organization should invest in training programs that enhance employees' market knowledge and skills can contribute to a market culture. The organization should clearly define and communicate the roles and responsibilities of each level within the hierarchy, ensuring that employees understand their position and how it fits into the overall organizational structure.

The effect of digital literacy on operational accounting competencies: The mediating role of online learning engagement

The sudden shift to online remote learning prompted by COVID-19 plunged many Indonesian universities into chaos. They grappled with the daunting task of adjusting to remote teaching and learning, often with little to no prior experience. This was particularly challenging because most universities in Indonesia follow traditional methods, primarily conducting classes in person on campus. This study seeks to empirically explore the indirect effects of digital literacy on operational accounting competencies. Furthermore, it aims to investigate whether student engagement in online learning serves as a mediating variable in the relationship between digital literacy and operational competence among fifth and seventh-semester Accounting Sharia students at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) KH Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan, Indonesia. The study generates survey data using a predesigned questionnaire completed by 113 students. Data are analyzed using descriptive analyses and PLS-SEM (Partial Least Square- Structural Equation Modeling). The statistical test results indicate that (1) digital literacy has no direct positive significant effect on operational accounting competencies (2) digital literacy has a direct positive significant effect on online student engagement, (3) online student engagement has a direct effect on operational accounting competencies, and (4) digital literacy indirectly influences operational accounting competencies through student engagement in online learning. These findings suggest a full mediation model because digital literacy can enhance operational accounting competencies only if students have high engagement in online learning.

Inflation’s Reduction of the Real Minimum Wage and Unemployment in the USA: 1987 to 2021

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;">Hundreds of articles have been written that include empirical estimates of the dis-employment effects of minimum wages; however, many of these articles find statistically insignificant effects, some find significant negative effects, and a few find significant positive effects. Most of these studies use multivariate analyses which can be criticized for omitting key variables. The omitted variables problem ruins all statistics and estimates. This paper uses reiterative truncated projected least squares (RTPLS), a solution to the omitted variables problem, to estimate the percentage increase in unemployment due to a one percent increase in the real minimum wage using monthly data for the 50 states of the USA from 1987 to 2021. RTPLS produces a separate elasticity for every observation where differences in these estimates are due to omitted variables. We argue that RTPLS solves most of the econometric problems that David Neumark identified in his keynote address at a minimum wage conference in Berlin in 2018. We find that the percentage change in the unemployment rate due to a one percent change in the minimum wage ranges between 1.156 and 3.389, that the elasticities for different states tend to move together over time, and that all these elasticities are statistically significant at a 95 percent confidence level.</span></p>

Nonlinearities in the Intellectual Property-Manufacturing Growth Nexus in the Post-TRIPS Era: Evidence from a Dynamic Panel Analysis

AbstractDiscussions around the importance of intellectual property (IP) intensified at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic as countries raced to secure IP-protected goods (e.g., vaccines and medical equipment) necessary to respond quickly and adequately to the threat of the virus’ spread. Building on the growing strand of the literature that reexamines IP’s effect on an array of social and economic outcomes, this paper examines the relationship between quantitative (patents and trademarks) and qualitative (IP protection) measures of IP, on the one hand, and manufacturing growth, on the other hand, accounting for the presence of nonlinearities. Using a two-step system generalized method of moments (SGMM) approach on a panel dataset of 81 countries spanning the post-1995 TRIPS Agreement period, our estimates show that these alternative measures of IP have differential and nonlinear effects on manufacturing growth. In particular, patents have a positive significant marginal effect on manufacturing growth past a minimum scale, whereas trademarks do not have a significant effect. In contrast, stronger IPR protection has a positive effect only up to a critical level of IPR protection, implying that “too much” IPR protection can stifle growth-inducing competing innovation. The paper concludes with a brief discussion on the mechanisms through which IP may contribute to manufacturing growth, and on some policies, which may help realize this potential. Broadly, this paper speaks to academic and policy discussions surrounding optimal IP enforcement and the benefits and consequences of IP.
