Unearthing Potential: Impact Investors’ Perspectives On Egypt’S Social Enterprise Market, Yousef Hesham Shoukry Jan 2027

Unearthing Potential: Impact Investors’ Perspectives On Egypt’S Social Enterprise Market, Yousef Hesham Shoukry

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis examines impact investing in Egypt from the vantage point of the impact investors, revealing that Egypt's constraint is not the availability of capital but its direction, as the absence of legal recognition, coordinated intermediaries, and a shared impact-measurement standard keeps capital out of a market otherwise rich in social enterprise potential. The study employed a constructivist grounded theory approach, drawing on eleven semi-structured interviews with impact fund managers, ecosystem enablers, and public-sector policy advisors operating in or considering Egypt's social enterprise market. Data revealed that practitioners converge on the founding principles of impact investment (combined financial and social …

How Leaders Build Employee Trust In Artificial Intelligence: Voice Opportunities, Humility, And Trust Transfer, Jack Mcguire, David De Cremer, Devesh Narayanan Dec 2026

How Leaders Build Employee Trust In Artificial Intelligence: Voice Opportunities, Humility, And Trust Transfer, Jack Mcguire, David De Cremer, Devesh Narayanan

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Artificial intelligence is increasingly central to organizational work, yet employee trust in AI remains fragile. Although prior research has primarily explained trust in AI through technological characteristics such as transparency, reliability, and accuracy, we argue that trust in AI is also shaped by the social context in which employees encounter these systems. Drawing on affect-as-information theory and social information processing theory, we develop and test a model in which leader-provided voice opportunities reduce employees’ negative affect about AI-related work experiences, thereby enhancing perceptions of leader trustworthiness and, in turn, trust in AI. We further propose that this indirect effect depends …


Rad Dudes, Rude ‘Tude, And The Family, Too: How Nintendo And Sega Advertisements Shaped The Image Of Gaming In The 1990s, Megan Condis, Jess Morrissette Dec 2026

Rad Dudes, Rude ‘Tude, And The Family, Too: How Nintendo And Sega Advertisements Shaped The Image Of Gaming In The 1990s, Megan Condis, Jess Morrissette

Political Science Faculty Research

The tale of the console wars of the 1990s, the stodgy, conservative, family-friendly Nintendo consoles waging an advertising war against the rebellious upstarts behind the Sega Genesis, has been told many times over. These histories are “typically a mix between summaries of factual data and interviews of the key actors who were part of the events” (Arsenault 2017, p. 9). However, there has been relatively little research taking a systematic approach to measuring the veracity of these narratives. This article aims to supplement those histories by examining an archive of 2,875 print video game advertisements spanning from 1989 to 1995. …


Linking Sustainability Performance To Stock Resilience During And After Covid-19 Crisis: Evidence From Southeast Asia, Khalilul Rahman, Retnosari Retnosari, Sanda Patrisia Komalasari, Muhammad Wafiq Dec 2026

Linking Sustainability Performance To Stock Resilience During And After Covid-19 Crisis: Evidence From Southeast Asia, Khalilul Rahman, Retnosari Retnosari, Sanda Patrisia Komalasari, Muhammad Wafiq

Jurnal Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted markets. While sustainability performance measured by ESG scores theoretically buffers against shocks, its efficacy in emerging markets with nascent sustainability frameworks remains underexplored. Method: We analyze a balanced panel of 1,395 observations from 279 non-financial Southeast Asian firms (2020–2024). Using OLS, lagged, and fixed effects models, we compare the impact of sustainability performance on stock resilience during the 2020–2022 and post-pandemic (2023–2024) periods. Findings: Sustainability performance (ESG scores) significantly enhanced stock resilience during the pandemic. However, this protective effect dissipated post-pandemic. Results confirm a statistically significant improvement in overall resilience following the crisis, as …


When The Bridge Is Not At Sea : Investigating Transfer Of Learning From Full-Mission Bridge Simulator To Navigation Training Onboard, Thammawan Phanphichit Nov 2026

When The Bridge Is Not At Sea : Investigating Transfer Of Learning From Full-Mission Bridge Simulator To Navigation Training Onboard, Thammawan Phanphichit

World Maritime University Ph.D. Dissertations

This dissertation explores, through a mixed-methods approach, how fullmission bridge simulators support transfer of learning to navigation training onboard, and under what conditions transfer can be trusted. Qualitative and quantitative components were integrated across the four articles. The first study explores how key onboard training stakeholders perceive its challenges, limitations, and the possibility of reducing required sea-time. Findings show broad agreement that OBT remains important, though openness to simulator use was conditional on credible evidence that simulator-developed competence can transfer onboard. The second and third studies examine this through transfer of learning theory. A systematic review identifies elements influencing transfer …


Climate Finance Paradox: Economic Fundamentals Outweigh Climate Exposure In Global Green, Blue, And Orange Bond Markets, Lovidya Helmi, Rofikoh Rokhim Nov 2026

Climate Finance Paradox: Economic Fundamentals Outweigh Climate Exposure In Global Green, Blue, And Orange Bond Markets, Lovidya Helmi, Rofikoh Rokhim

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

Physical climate impacts can place pressure on public finances, but their association with country-level thematic bond issuance remains unclear. Although country-level green bond markets have been studied, comparative evidence across thematic bond categories remains limited. This study examines whether historical climate impacts are associated with green and blue bond issuance and an exploratory social/sustainability bond proxy, and whether these associations differ after 2015. An unbalanced panel of 184 countries over 2015–2023 (1,271 country-year observations; 183 of the 184 countries enter the fixed-effects estimation) is analyzed using a log-linear Fixed-effects model selected via the Hausman test (χ²(10)=73.29; p<0.001), with the Germanwatch Climate Risk Index (CRI) as the proxy for physical climate risk; orange bond results are treated as exploratory given data sparsity (98.0% zeros). Across all three instruments, CRI shows no statistically significant association with issuance, whereas GDP per capita is positively associated with green (β=0.379, p=0.001), blue (β=0.1148, p=0.017), and proxy issuance (β=0.1148, p=0.037). This pattern is consistent with a capacityconditioned view, in which fiscal and capital-market capacity precedes thematic bond issuance. The models explain little within-country variation (R²=0.033 to 0.079). Post-2015 interactions are significant for green and proxy issuance, but the single pre-period year does not support attribution to the Paris Agreement. Fixed-effects linear probability models yield similar results, whereas PPML estimates are unstable under substantial data separation. Interpretation is limited by sparse issuance observations, uncertain proxy classification, and possible time-varying confounding. The study extends country-level evidence on thematic sustainable bond issuance by examining green and blue bonds alongside an exploratory social/sustainability bond proxy using country fixed effects. GDP per capita is thus more consistently associated with issuance than historical climate-impact rankings, although the underlying mechanisms cannot be established.


Refereed Research - Health Is The Greatest Wealth: A Research Agenda For Subsistence Marketplaces, Samanthika Gallage Dr Nov 2026

Refereed Research - Health Is The Greatest Wealth: A Research Agenda For Subsistence Marketplaces, Samanthika Gallage Dr

Subsistence Marketplaces

Health is a major challenge for people who live in subsistence because poverty heightens exposure to disease and weakens access to care. Yet it has received limited and fragmented attention in subsistence marketplaces research. Health decisions are made within the same trade-offs, uncertainty, unfamiliarity and relational exchange that shape other subsistence consumption. At the same time, health also goes beyond other mundane consumption decisions: it demands abstract causal reasoning, carries heightened vulnerability, and depends on information and trust that consumers cannot easily verify. Therefore, this paper argues that health should be treated as a core area of study in subsistence …

Financial Inclusion And Npas: Implications For Bank Profitability In India, Jyoti Parjapati, Latika Sharma, Dr. Jai Kishan Chandel Nov 2026

Financial Inclusion And Npas: Implications For Bank Profitability In India, Jyoti Parjapati, Latika Sharma, Dr. Jai Kishan Chandel

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Financial inclusion, NPAs, and bank profitability are well-studied, but not in developing nations. In 2005 06 to 2022-23 panel data, Financial Inclusion (FI) and Non-Performing Assets (NPA) affect Indian public and private bank profitability. Quantile regression examines bank profitability’s impact. Non-performing asset management enhances bank profitability, highlighting the long-term benefits of inclusion schemes with effective risk management. The study shows that bank profitability and type affect these three factors. Banks’ large client bases boost profitability, while administrative costs lower it. FI benefits private banks but damages state banks. The essay urges authorities to include NPA in financial inclusion to enhance …

The results showed a significant multivariate age-group difference across the four outcomes, Pillai’s Trace = 0.222, F (4,264) …


A Qualitative Case Study On The Workplace Challenges Faced By Organizational Leaders In The Employee Selection And Hiring Process Of Former Military Personnel, Jason Vranes Nov 2026

A Qualitative Case Study On The Workplace Challenges Faced By Organizational Leaders In The Employee Selection And Hiring Process Of Former Military Personnel, Jason Vranes

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this qualitative, single case study was to explore organizational leaders’ experiences and perceptions in recruiting, selecting, and integrating former military personnel in a non-military organization in the Southeastern United States. The study addressed workplace challenges in those processes and used implicit bias theory, intersectionality theory, and attraction-selection-attrition theory as the conceptual framework. Three research questions guided the inquiry by examining leaders’ assessments of cultural fit and soft skills, practices used to detect and mitigate bias in selection, and support provided after hiring. Data were collected through 12 semi-structured interviews with organizational leaders, one human resource focus group, …


From Disengagement To Stewardship: A Leadership Intervention To Strengthen Nonprofit Board Governance, Shannel M. Mceachin Nov 2026

From Disengagement To Stewardship: A Leadership Intervention To Strengthen Nonprofit Board Governance, Shannel M. Mceachin

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This study designed, implemented, and assessed a stewardship-based leadership intervention to strengthen board leadership and engagement within the Y.T.I. Youth Tutoring Initiative Board of Directors. The rationale for this project was grounded in nonprofit governance best practices and a theological framework of stewardship. Effective nonprofit leadership requires the board of directors to take an active role in governance and self-leadership. The Youth Tutoring Initiative Board of Directors faced leadership and engagement challenges, evidenced by limited individual contributions and organizational accountability. Without intervention, the leadership risked continued stagnation and limited strategic contribution. This project ignited the board's leadership by implementing a …

Korean Soft Power: Utilizing Celebrity Influence In Cosmetics, Josephine Humphrey Nov 2026

Korean Soft Power: Utilizing Celebrity Influence In Cosmetics, Josephine Humphrey

PANDION: The Osprey Journal of Research and Ideas

This study examines the economic aspect of the international influence of South Korean K-pop idols. Following the separation of the Korean peninsula at the end of World War II, South Korea became a little-recognized state with relatively low influence on the international stage. South Korean culture was little known outside the peninsula, and, beginning in the 1990s, K-pop music became popular domestically but was widely unheard of globally. The technological revolution of the late 1990s, however, marked a turning point, providing South Korea with a new way to disseminate its culture through the internet and digital media. Known as the …

From Polarization To Partnership: Developing A Trust-Repair Model For Cross-Partisan Work Relationships, Edward C. Tomlinson Nov 2026

From Polarization To Partnership: Developing A Trust-Repair Model For Cross-Partisan Work Relationships, Edward C. Tomlinson

River Cities Industrial and Organizational Psychology Conference

Political polarization increasingly shows up at work not only as disagreement, but as a trust problem that undermines collaboration, psychological safety, and everyday coordination. In this talk, I describe my own experiences in Braver Angels (a nationwide depolarization group) inspired my development of a conceptual model of trust repair in politically polarized workplaces. I also present new empirical evidence on how political differences shape perceptions of co-worker trustworthiness, and I outline a measurement agenda to support practical interventions. In my 2025 Human Resource Management Review article, I argued that trust repair in politically charged contexts is often a mutual process …

Advancing Pfac Initiatives, Effectiveness, And Visibility Through Strategic Planning And Assessment, Aimee Williamson, Katherine Litterer

Patient Experience Journal

Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFACs) are a growing approach for engaging patient and family voices into healthcare organization decisions and projects. While their importance is well accepted in the literature, individual councils often grapple with practical challenges and a desire to elevate visibility and impact. Over the last ten years, Boston Children's Hospital's Family Advisory Council (FAC) has embedded strategic planning practices into council governance and operations to elevate council functioning and drive innovation. Beginning with an initial formal strategic planning and visioning process in 2016, followed by annual prioritization and strategic planning refresh sessions every three years, the …

Improving Patient Experience Scores Through Patient Experience Coaches: A Case Study, Maryann Bowersox, Patricia Coryea-Hafkey, Kristin Baird, Raime Cendoma, Nancy Borkowski

Patient Experience Journal

Patient experience (PEX) is a key healthcare quality metric that may signal safety vulnerabilities by revealing gaps in communication and care processes before adverse events occur. Despite the importance of evidence-based practices (EBPs), maintaining consistent adherence remains a challenge. As a strategy to improve patient experience while reinforcing adherence to EBPs, this case study describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of a Patient Experience Coach (PEXC) program at two hospitals within a large health system. The intervention embedded trained coaches within clinical units to provide real-time observation, feedback, and reinforcement of EBPs. Core EBPs targeted by the program included hourly …

Beyond Borders: A Comparative Analysis Of The Patient Experience Of Kazakh Citizens In Türkiye And Kazakhstan, Azhar Zhaiykkyzy, Harun Kırılmaz

Patient Experience Journal

Patient experience is widely regarded as a core indicator of healthcare quality. Whilst the majority of research focuses on ethnic disparities, there is a paucity of studies that examine structural influences when cultural background is held constant. The present study sought to compare patient-reported experiences of 600 Kazakhstani citizens (n = 300 per country) receiving care in Kazakhstan and as medical tourists in Türkiye. The Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire (PPE-15) was utilised to analyse domain-level problem scores, employing chi-square tests (Cramer's V) and binary logistic regression. The findings indicated significant disparities in several domains, including coordination of care (V = …

Who Is The Patient Trusting? A Scoping Review Of Patient-Physician Trust In The Generative Artificial Intelligence (Genai) Era, Ashleigh M. Allgood, Eugenia B. Yiadom, Michele L. Heath, Geoffrey A. Silvera

Patient Experience Journal

Patients extend trust to physicians whose expertise they cannot fully inspect. Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is now part of that exchange. Clinicians use it, organizations deploy it, and patients bring it to appointments themselves. This scoping review asks what is known about GenAI and trust in the patient-physician relationship. Following PRISMA-ScR guidance, we searched PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and APA PsycINFO on March 9, 2026, and screened records in Covidence. Twelve studies met inclusion criteria. For each article, we documented how trust was conceptualized and measured, then classified each study by construct fidelity and closeness to an actual care relationship. None …
