This study also instrumentalizes the conditional interaction effect of fear of failure on the moderated paths. A data sample of 1090 business students from five Indian universities was subjected to screening and cleaning before establishing the measurement model and testing the hypotheses using structural equation modelling and Process Macro. EP, EM and EC were found to affect EI directly, while EE also moderated these links. Fear of failure was also found to be conditioning the moderated paths such that the positive moderation effect of EE on direct paths between EP, EM, EC and EI was stronger when students perceived no fear of failure. The study advances the existing literature on the moderating role of entrepreneurship education by recognizing the conditional interactio...

However, a few secondary sources were also consulted to find out the direction of the study. Scheduling method was used to collect all primary data, considering the fact of lower education level of most of the respondents (below class X) and technical language of the questionnaire. Sample data were collected from 371 respondents from four different Gewogs (blocks) that is Chapcha, Bongo, Darla, and Samphelling of Chukha Dzongkhag (district). The data were analysed based on gender and education level of the respondents towards perception of banking products. Student’s t-test and ANOVA were used to analyse the research data.

We applied the unit root test, Johansen multi-variate cointegration, and performed a Variance decomposition analysis using the Cholesky approach. The VECM and ARDL-bound testing approaches to cointegration suggest a long-term equilibrium nexus between GDP, energy use, population growth and CO2E. The empirical outcomes show the existence of a long-term equilibrium nexus between the variables. The Granger causality results show that short-term bi-directional causality exists between GDP and ENU, while a uni-directional causality between CO2E and GDP, CO2E and ENU, CO2E and PG, and PG and ENU. Evidence from variance decomposition indicates that 58.4% of the future fluctuations in CO2E are due to changes in ENU, 2.8% of the future fluctuations are due...
The long-run relationship between interest, unemployment and inflation rates and economic growth ... more The long-run relationship between interest, unemployment and inflation rates and economic growth in ASEAN countries has been neglected for decades. Such a disregard is surprising because these macroeconomic factors affect capital and investment costs. Using secondary panel data gathered from the World Bank database, we investigate the long-run relationship between these factors and GDP growth from 1995 to 2018 in ASEAN-5 countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and the Philippines). Statistical results show a strong dynamic long-run linkage between interest and inflation rates and economic growth, but the linkage between unemployment rate and economic growth is insignificant. Granger’s test of causality indicates that interest, unemployment and inflation rates and economic growth are related. Policy makers should be aware of these relationships when making decisions to facilitate economic growth and stability.

The moderating role of entrepreneurial attitude has also been tested on the relationship between entrepreneurial education, opportunity recognition, and entrepreneurial intention. Data were collected from 663 students of three different universities in India using the convenience sampling technique. The results from the analysis revealed that entrepreneurial education, opportunity recognition not only influence entrepreneurial intention directly but also influence indirectly through the mediating effect of self-efficacy. Furthermore, results also unearthed that entrepreneurial attitude moderates the relationship between opportunity recognition, entrepreneurial education, and entrepreneurial intention.

Due to the unprecedentedness of the situation, academicians and practitioners have limited knowledge of the effect permanently working from home during this crisis can have on employees. Developing the role and work–life balance theories and using the job demands and resources model, the authors study the role of availability of job autonomy and family supportive supervisory behaviors (FSSBs) directly on work–life balance and indirectly on job satisfaction through work–life balance for Industry 4.0 based employees. Using work-to-family positive spillover (WFPS) as a first-level moderator and prior telecommuting experience (PTE) as a second-level moderator, the authors also check for the moderating effect on work–life balance and job satisfaction, respectively. The data were analyzed using CFA and SEM in AMOS v21.0 and model 21 in PROCESS Macro for SPSS. The study f...

Furthermore, the paper also attempt to examine the moderating role of entrepreneurship education on the relationships between ATE, PBC, and EI. Data sample of 387 female students was collected, using convenience sampling technique, from three different universities of India using a structured questionnaire developed by Linen and Chen in 2009. After data screening process, CFA and SEM techniques were used for analysing the data. Results of hypotheses testing revealed that basic antecedents of TPB have been found significantly impacting EI of female students while additional variable EE was also found to be positively affecting EI with a low coefficient. The results of this study will help in understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurial intention among female university students. 218 I. Anwar et al.
