AbstractInstitutional pressures (IP) have a strong effect on organizational strategies and decision making. IP in terms of coercive, mimetic, and normative forces have a direct effect on organizations to develop environmentally friendly business strategies (EFBS) and improve environmental performance (EP). The aim of this study is to examine the effect of IP on EP. Moreover, the mediating role of EFBS in the relationship between IP and EP has also been tested. Results reveal that IP significantly and positively affect EFBS. Moreover, the relationship between EFBS and EP is also significantly positive. However, the direct relationship between IP and EP is weak. The results of the study also confirm that EFBS mediate the relationship between IP and EP. These findings suggest that managers should develop green strategies for the improvement of environmental performance. This study not only offers the empirical evidence to validate the findings of past researchers but also provides insight how IP flourish the mechanism of environmentally friendly business strategies. Furthermore, this study highlighted some interesting facts that should be meaningful options for managers to enhance the environmental performance.

This study aimed to investigate the socio-cultural consequences of urban sprawl in Dera Ismail Khan. The three main objectives explored are that urban sprawl has negatively impacted social cohesion and social interaction among the members of society. It has affected the cultural heritage and cultural identity. It also has hindered people's access to essential resources. Qualitative research methodology was used as a research method for this study. A quota sampling method was used to select the participants. Sixty-four respondents were selected based on age, gender, and locality. Focus group discussions were conducted using a focus group guide to collect the data. There were a total of 8 groups; 4 of them were migrants, and 4 were local respondents. The female ratio was 50% each. Groups were categorized based on age, gender, and identity. This enabled the participants to share their opinions without hesitation. The research findings indicate that urban sprawl has negatively impacted the social and cultural life of the people in Dera Ismail Khan. Urban sprawl has negatively affected their cultural identity, social interaction, social cohesion, cultural traditions, and access to public amenities. They have lost their social interaction and social cohesion among the community members. The researchers found that cultural changes occurred in the local cultural values, traditions, and norms of the migrants. Both migrants and locals now follow a homogenized culture. Their access to public amenities is much affected by the unplanned urban expansion. People became dependent on private cars because of the lack of public transportation. This increased use of private vehicles leads to air pollution and traffic problems. It is also observed that the local government is inefficient in mitigating these consequences.

PurposeFollowing "AMO" framework and resource-based theory (RBT), the current study empirically examines the relationships between high-involvement human resource management (HI HRM) practices, employee functional flexibility (FF) and innovative work behavior (IWB). Furthermore, the mediating effect of FF has also been tested.Design/methodology/approachDescriptive statistics, correlation, hierarchical regression analysis, baron and Kenny, PROCESS Macro and Sobel Test approach were used on a sample of 894 employees of manufacturing concerns.FindingsFindings revealed a direct effect of HI HRM practices on FF and IWB. In addition, the results confirm that FF positively mediates between HI HRM practices and IWB. Furthermore, three dimensions of HI HRM practices, i.e. ability-enhancing (AE), motivation-enhancing (ME) and opportunity-enhancing (OE) HRM practices also predicted FF and IWB.Practical implicationsThis study not only offers the empirical evidence to validate the findings of past researchers, but also provide insight how HI HRM practices flourish the mechanism of FF in manufacturing concerns. Furthermore, this study highlighted some interesting facts that should be meaningful options for HR managers to enhance the level of employees' FF and IWB.Originality/valueAlthough the empirical evidence is well established that HI HRM practices have a substantial contribution for organizational performance, however, there is lack of studies that empirically examine the associations among HI HRM practices, employee's competencies and behaviors, as well as the mechanism through which HI HRM practices affect work related innovative behavior. Finally, in distinguishing from the past studies, this study explores HI HRM practices as an important predictor of FF in addressing the IWB.

The goal of this study is to develop the legal status of brand rights as collateral for bank credit guarantees and to analyze the risks of applying brand rights as collateral for bank credit guarantees in Indonesia. Brand rights are part of intellectual property rights which, of course, are of commercial significance to be used as collateral for bank loans. This study is a normative legal research using a regulatory methodology or a legislative approach to interpreting the idea of brand rights being used as security for bank loan guarantees, as laid down in statutory regulations, which are meant to try to get closer to the problems examined on the basis of laws, norms and rules. In compliance with the purpose of the analysis. The findings of the research suggest that Brand Rights can potentially be used as collateral for bank credit guarantees in compliance with the relevant legal requirements, but there are no specific laws and regulations that explicitly govern brands used as collateral for bank credit and, as a result, many banks in Indonesia have not been able to consider brands as collateral for bank credit guarantees.

Kajian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh karena adanya khazanah pemikiran keislaman, yaitu isuIslamisasi ilmu yang merupakan salah satu isu yang selalu menarik diperbincangkan beberapadekade ini. Hal ini terjadi karena ada berbagai pandangan dan penafsiran tentang Islamisasiilmu. Konsep ilm meniscayakan umat Islam untuk memahami realitas secara utuh. Hal ini telah dilakukan oleh sarjana dan intelektual Muslim klasik, seperti al-Kindi, al-Farabi, al-Ghazali, Ibnu Rusyd dan sarjana klasik lainnya. Akan tetapi, sarjana Muslim kontemporer tampak mengesampingkan peranan epistemologi ini. Sehingga yang terjadi kemudian adalah justru Islam kehilangan jati diri sebagai kekuatan yang punya orientasi epistemologis yang sebenarnya sudah mapan di era klasik. Konsep Islamisasi ilmu populer di tangan al-Faruqi dan juga Naquib al- Attas. Bagi al-Faruqi, Islamisasi ilmu pengetahuan adalah mengislamkan disiplin-disiplin ilmu atau tepatnya menghasilkan buku-buku pegangan (buku dasar) di perguruan tinggi, dengan menuangkan kembali disiplin ilmu modern ke dalam wawasan Islam, setelah dilakukan kajian kritis terhadap kedua sistem pengetahuan Islam dan Barat. Selain itu, al-Faruqi juga memberikan langkah-langkah prosedural bagi terlaksanya program Islamisasi ilmu. Penulis menemukan poin penting dari kajian ini bahwa pemikiran Islamisasi ilmu al-Faruqi inilah yang dikritisi oleh Sardar, menurutnya perumusan epistemologi Islam kontemporer tidak dapat dimulai dengan menitikberatkan pada disiplin ilmu yang sudah ada. Sardar mengungkapkan bahwa epistemologi Islam kontemporer dapat dirumuskan dengan dengan mengembangkan paradigma-paradigma di dalam ekspresi-ekspresi eksternal peradaban Muslim yang meliputi sains dan teknologi, politik dan hubungan-hubungan internasional, struktur-struktur sosial dan kegiatan ekonomi, pembangunan desa dan kota. Semua aspek ekspesi eksternal peradaban Muslim tersebut dapat dipelajari dan dikembangan dalam kaitannya dengan kebutuhan-kebutuhan dan realitas kontemporer. Dari sini Sardar sekali lagi menolak Islamisasi ilmu pengetahuan dimulai dari disiplin ilmu yang sudah ada. Hal ini karena disiplin ilmu tersebut tidak sesuai dengan nilai-nilai Islam

AbstractThe current study examines the influence of CSR orientation and CSR competencies of hotel managers on their CSR participation. Moreover, the mediating role of CSR commitment in the connection between CSR orientation, CSR competencies and CSR participation has also been tested. Data from 324 CEOs (chief executive officers), finance manager, policy makers, and managing directors of 4 stars and 5 stars hotels were collected. Results reveal that CSR orientation and CSR competencies positively predict CSR commitment. Moreover, CSR commitment significantly predicts the CSR participation. The findings of the study also confirm that CSR commitment mediates the relationships between CSR orientation and CSR participation and CSR competencies and CSR participation. The results of the study suggest that managers having control on organizational resources can positively contribute towards CSR activities and successfully respond to the demands of various shareholders by focusing on societal and environmental issues.

AbstractThis study attempts to examine the association among employees' environmental attitude (EEA), employees' ecological behavior (EEB) and employees' environmental performance (EEP). Moreover, the mediating role of EEB between EEA and EEP is also tested. The contingent effect of managers' environmental commitment (MEC) on the relationship between EEA and EEB is also tested. Data were collected from 317 employees of 65 small and medium size hotels operating in the tourist destinations of Pakistan. Correlation, linear regression and SEM were conducted for the purpose of data analysis. Findings revealed a direct effect of EEA on EEB and EEP. In addition, the results confirm that EEB positively mediates EEA and EEP. Moreover, the findings confirmed that MEC strengthens the relationship between EEA and EEB. The results suggest that small and medium size hotels must pay more attention towards employee regarding their environmental attitude and behavior that ensure the protection of natural environment. Moreover, employees with higher level of motivation due to their knowledge, awareness and concern for environment contribute in a better way for EP.

Ecotourism is the most encompassing alternative approach, and it is usually regarded as a panacea capable of combining economic development, environmental protection, and community well-being. Pakistan's ecotourism industry is relatively new and has significant growth potential, with approximately 6 million domestic and international tourists visiting various northern destinations in 2018. However, as the number of tourists grows, so do the difficulties or obstacles associated with visitor/tourist behaviour, such as pollution, forest cutting, wildlife turmoil, filthy waste/garbage, and forest fire. These potential hazards have become natural environment-harming concerns that occur daily. Prior studies and government policies have emphasised the increasing knowledge and responsibility of ecotourism behaviour among tourists to address the issues. Digital marketing is known as a flashy way to connect with tourists by providing them with diverse tour information and destination images; however, reviews show that a smaller number of previous research in the tourism industry has been involved with digital marketing strategies. They use a quantitative design and Structural Equation Model testing. The guaranteed validity and reliability is an adaptive questionnaire created and tested in pilot research. For data gathering, a multistage sampling method is utilised. This research included 384 tourist respondents from three regions that used digital marketing for their travelling. It was chosen using a random and purposeful sampling process. The study found that destination image is positively connected to ecotourism. The current study employs the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) as a theoretical contribution. The study's findings suggest that visitors, the government, the tourism industry, and the community may use digital marketing strategies to encourage ecotourism behaviour.

Abstract
Coastlines mapping techniques or the coastline automated analyses have been sought after. In practice, various sorts of seacoasts, for example, biological, silty, arenaceous, artificial, and bedrock coasts, have their own attributes, which force various degrees of intricacy on coastline mapping. As an extraordinary kind of complex artificial coast, aquaculture coast is shaped by the farming of aquatic organisms on silt tidal flats. With the rapid growth of coastal aquaculture in recent years, aquaculture coasts have increased in some developing countries. It has been estimated that aquaculture coasts constitute about 30% of all coastlines in mainland China. In order to identify, monitor, model, and manage the vast expanse of coastal aquaculture, effective methods of extracting aquaculture coastlines from remotely sensed imagery are desired. Secondly, with the rapid economic development in coastal areas, the development of coastal zone resources is also increasing day by day, which benefits the development of island coastal zone. Using oneself has become an important link in the development of marine economy. Due to the limited coastal resources and low environmental carrying capacity, the overexploitation and utilization of coastal resources will lead to a series of problems, such as coastal erosion, coastal migration and accumulation, island area reduction, etc., Both man-made activities and natural factors will lead to coastline changes, which will lead to corresponding changes in coastal ecological environment, thus affecting the coordinated development of coastal economy and the survival of coastal residents. Therefore, efficient, accurate and timely acquisition of coastline information and research on the spatial-temporal changes of coastline are of great significance to the protection of the living environment of coastal residents, the effective development of island and coastal resources, the coordination of sustainable economic development in coastal areas and the mitigation of marine disasters. This paper presents a review of those papers reporting coastline extraction and land use and land cover (LULC) change analysis using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) technology.

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment and CSR participation on both social performance and environmental performance. The current study examines the influence of CSR commitment on CSR participation. This study also tested the mediating effect of CSR participation in the connection between CSR commitment and social performance as well as between CSR commitment and environmental performance. Data were collected from 324 managers of hotels and tourism units. Statistical techniques such as correlation, regression and AMOS 7.0 software were used for data analysis. Results reveal that CSR commitment positively predicts CSR participation. CSR participation significantly predicts the social performance and environmental performance. The direct link of CSR commitment with social performance and environmental performance is positive and significant. The findings also reveal that CSR participation mediates the relationship between both CSR commitment and social performance and CSR commitment and environmental performance links.
