ECOLOGICAL SELF: THE PASSAGE TO SELF REALIZATION
type: item
description: The environmental crisis reflects a deeper issue within our minds and spirits. The pressures of ecological degradation are so clear that protecting the environment has become essential. In this regard, deep ecology represents a new and significant ecological movement that emerges as a fresh perspective to address the unavoidable transformations humanity is facing. Arne Naess’ deep ecology theory seeks to address our sense of emptiness and anxiety, allowing individuals to restore a sense of connection with both living and non-living entities. Deep ecology plays a crucial role in enhancing our ecological awareness as we confront worldwide environmental challenges for several reasons. Ecological awareness represents an emerging mind-set that leads us toward sustainable development. It fosters a connection with nature, establishing ecological harmony since all elements are interconnected within the web of life. Therefore, the eco-centric approach to environmental ethics serves as a comprehensive method for addressing environmental issues, integrating thought, emotion, spirituality, and action. The relationship between humans and the environment relies on the ability to connect with otherness, allowing the self to expand and deepen. This realization fosters a stronger bond with all forms of life, enabling a transition from an ego (G) perspective to an eco (C) perspective. To achieve this transformation from ‘G’ to ‘C,’ we must cultivate our ecological awareness. It is essential for the world to undergo a significant shift toward an eco-centric mind -set rooted in ecological understanding, prompting us to care for and act on behalf of whole ecosystems, not just ourselves. When there is a balance between ‘G’ and ‘C,’ beings exist harmoniously within the universe. However, when the focus leans too heavily toward the ‘Self,’ or ‘ego,’ an imbalance occurs, leading to emerging issues. The notion of Self-realization stands out as one of Arne Naess’s key contributions to ecologi…

type: item
description: The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue (fascia) that connects your heel bone to the base of your toes. The fascia is centrally, known as aponeurosis and is thin along the sides. The fascia consists of three parts, medial, lateral and the central part, respectively. Objective: The present study was done to find the effectiveness of combination of intrinsic and extrinsic muscle strengthening for plantar fasciitis. Methodology: A sample size of 30 subjects were selected by random sampling method and divided into three groups containing 10 in each group. Subject in group A were treated with intrinsic muscle strengthening, subject in group B were treated with extrinsic group of strengthening only. Group C was treated with combination of intrinsic and extrinsic muscle strengthening. Results: Myofascial release technique help to break the break adhesion and soft tissue contractures. the vicious cycle of tightness and weakness by broke by including strengthening of extrinsic and intrinsic muscle along with release of posterior muscle while ultimately increased ankle dorsiflexion. Conclusion: Thus the study conclude that the simultaneous stretching and strengthening of both the muscle groups is superior to strengthening of single muscle group alone.

TRIBALISM AND RESISTANCE: EXPLORING TRIBAL MOVEMENTS AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHALLENGES IN ODISHA
type: item
description: Tribal communities in Odisha constitute approximately 23% of the state’s population and remain socio-economically marginalized despite significant developmental efforts. This paper analyses secondary data from the Odisha Economic Survey (2024–25), the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (2022), and the Census of India (2011) to examine disparities in literacy and poverty affecting Scheduled Tribes (STs). It further explores how tribal identity and cultural cohesion shape resistance movements against systemic exclusion. Findings reveal a persistent literacy gap of nearly 14 percentage points between tribal communities and the state average, and multidimensional poverty rates in tribal-majority districts exceeding 35–45%, significantly higher than the state average of 15.7%. Cultural identity emerges as both a unifying and mobilizing force, fuelling diverse forms of resistance, including legal action, protests, and alliances with civil society organizations. The study highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions and further research into gender dimensions of tribal resistance.

THE INFLUENCE OF GENDER DIVERSITY ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN PUBLIC COMMERCIAL BANKS IN TANZANIA
type: item
description: This study examined the influence of gender diversity on employee performance in public commercial banks in Tanzania, addressing the existing gap on how gender-balanced workplaces shape behavioural and performance outcomes. Although gender diversity is widely recognised as a strategic resource for organizational competitiveness, many public commercial banks still experience challenges in effectively integrating diverse gender perspectives into daily operations. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine how gender diversity affects employee performance and whether human resource policy moderate this relationship. A descriptive research design was employed, and data were collected from 317 employees using a convenience sampling technique. The adequacy of the sample was confirmed through KMO tests ranging from 0.824 to 0.891. Data analysis involved SmartPLS, correlation, and regression analysis to examine direct and moderating effects. The findings revealed that gender diversity has a significant and positive influence on employee performance in public commercial banks in Tanzania. The results further indicated that perceptions of gender diversity and its effects on performance vary across gender, age groups, and levels of work experience. The study concludes that promoting and managing gender diversity is essential for enhancing productivity, job satisfaction, and employee engagement. It is recommended that public commercial banks strengthen policies and practices that support gender inclusiveness, minimize gender-related conflicts, promote person–job and person–organization fit, and utilize gender-diverse teams effectively. Enhancing gender diversity management will enable banks to maximize employee performance and remain competitive in the evolving financial sector.

BUSINESS PLANNING IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP: STRATEGIC, FINANCIAL, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES
type: item
description: Entrepreneurship has emerged as a key driver of global economic growth and business innovation. At the heart of entrepreneurial success is strategic planning, with the business plan often serving as its central framework. A well-crafted business plan not only provides a clear roadmap for new ventures but also supports better decision-making, attracts investment, and increases the likelihood of long-term sustainability. However, academic research presents a more nuanced picture, highlighting both the advantages and the limitations of business planning—especially in unpredictable or rapidly changing environments. This paper examines the theoretical foundations, practical relevance, and economic and psychological effects of business planning, while also engaging with contemporary debates in the field. Drawing on empirical studies, literature reviews, and real-world examples, it argues that business planning remains a valuable tool for entrepreneurs, provided it is applied with insight and flexibility.

DIGITAL PLATFORMS UTILIZATION FOR CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT AMONG ART AND DESIGN STUDENTS: A STUDY AT THE SCIENTIFIC COLLEGE OF DESIGN
type: item
description: The study explores students' knowledge and use of digital platforms to cultivate creative, entrepreneurial skills in art and design at the Scientific College of Design. With the growth of tech-based entrepreneurship, it was important to evaluate students' understanding of how the creative industries rely on digital platforms for collaboration, commercialization, and visibility, to enhance academic support and career readiness. The study investigates students' awareness of various digital platforms, including social media, online services, and e-commerce websites. It examines the use of tools for self-branding and for creating entrepreneurial opportunities. The use of a mixed-methods approach comprising a literature review, a survey, and focus groups to examine patterns in digital awareness and engagement. The research findings reveal that students are aware of these platforms and actively use TikTok, Instagram, Behance, and Etsy to showcase their work. However, there is a lack of structured guidance on how to use them effectively in digital entrepreneurship. Hence, the study highlights the need to integrate digital marketing, personal branding, and platform analytics into the curriculum. Recommendations are to include tailored presentations or workshops with digital industry stakeholders. The study concludes that digital platforms play a pivotal role in shaping creative entrepreneurial pathways for emerging young artists and designers.

E-WASTE MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IN INDIA: THE EVOLVING ROLE OF THE NATIONAL GREEN TRIBUNAL
type: item
description: Electronic waste, or e-waste, is one of the fastest growing types of waste in India. This increase is due to the growing use of electronic devices, while recycling efforts remain weak. India has regulatory framework such as the E-Waste (Management) Rules of 2016 and the updated Rules of 2022 to improve Extended Producer Responsibility, collection targets, and proper recycling practices; however, the execution part remains inconsistent. A significant proportion of discarded electronics is still handled by the informal recycling sector, exposing workers and nearby communities to hazardous substances and resulting in severe environmental contamination and public health risks. This uneven distribution of environmental risk raises serious environmental justice concerns in India, as vulnerable communities disproportionately bear the health burdens and ecological consequences of toxic e-waste processing, while the economic benefits of the electronics industry accumulate elsewhere. The National Green Tribunal (NGT), as a specialized environmental adjudicatory body, plays an important role in strengthening compliance with environmental norms, including those governing e- waste. However, poor coordination among agencies, data deficiencies, and weak operational capacity continue to limit the effectiveness of judicial intervention. This paper examines the concept of e-waste, its linkage with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the existing regulatory framework governing e-waste management in India. It further analyses the role of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) in improving e-waste governance, evaluates the key enforcement challenges that hinder effective implementation, and suggests judicial reforms to enhance environmental accountability and support India’s transition towards a circular economy.

title: BARRIERS TO DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN MUNICIPAL REVENUE SYSTEMS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY OF TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION OBSTACLES AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AT THE KANYE DISTRICT MUNICIPAL COUNCIL, BOTSWANA
description: This study examines the barriers impeding digital transformation in municipal revenue collection systems within the Kanye District Municipal Council, Botswana, and their consequent effects on financial performance indicators. Despite global momentum toward digital governance, African local authorities continue to face substantial obstacles in adopting revenue digitization technologies, resulting in persistent revenue leakage, low collection efficiency ratios, billing inaccuracies, and delayed payment turnaround times. Employing a qualitative research design grounded in the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework, this investigation utilizes semi-structured interviews with revenue officers, IT personnel, finance managers, and municipal leadership to identify and analyze multifaceted adoption barriers. Thematic analysis reveals six primary barrier categories: technical infrastructure deficiencies, human capacity constraints, organizational culture and leadership resistance, system integration challenges, policy and regulatory inadequacies, and financial resource limitations. Findings indicate that these barriers collectively undermine digital transformation efforts and directly impair municipal financial performance through increased revenue leakage (averaging 23-35% of potential collections), reduced billing accuracy (65-72% efficiency), and extended payment cycles (45-90 days). The study contributes to the digital governance literature by providing empirical evidence from a Southern African context and offers practical recommendations for organizational reform, infrastructure modernization, capacity-building interventions, and policy realignment to enhance revenue system digitization in resource-constrained municipal settings.

POLITICAL BEHAVIOR, ENGAGEMENT, AND TURNOVER INTENTION: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF BANK EMPLOYEES
type: item
description: Background/Aims: Organisational politics has become an important determinant of employee behaviour, affecting engagement, satisfaction, and turnover. Employee engagement is essential for organisational success, while high turnover rates can threaten productivity and stability. This study aimed to examine the relationships between organisational politics, employee engagement, and turnover intention among employees of the Development Bank (DB). Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted among 300 full-time DB employees using an online survey. The Organisational Politics Self-Esteem Scale, Utrecht Employee Engagement Scale-9, and Employee Turnover Intention Scale were used for data collection. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression, were performed using IBM SPSS version 30. Results: Participants reported moderate perceptions of organisational politics (M = 2.51 ± 1.10) and high work engagement (M = 4.29 ± 0.77). Significant demographic variations were observed across age, department, and position. Organisational politics dimensions—particularly pay and promotion politics—were positively correlated with turnover intention (r = 0.679, p < 0.01) and negatively correlated with engagement (r = –0.359, p < 0.01). The regression model indicated that organisational politics and engagement together explained 62% of the variance in turnover intention. Higher engagement, especially vigour, was inversely associated with turnover intention (B = –0.384, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Organisational politics significantly influences engagement and turnover intention among DB employees. Promoting transparent management practices, equitable reward systems, and participatory decision-making can strengthen engagement, reduce turnover risk, and enhance organisational effectiveness within the banking sector.

DRUG DOSAGE REGIMEN FOR GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS IN STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION: A REVIEW
type: item
description: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a life-threatening immunological complication that frequently follows allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), a curative option for several hematological malignancies and non-malignant disorders. GVHD arises when donor-derived T lymphocytes recognize the recipient’s tissues as foreign, leading to systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. It is clinically categorized into acute and chronic forms, each with distinct etiopathological features. Preventive strategies aim to mitigate GVHD while preserving graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects. This review summarizes the pathogenesis, classification, risk factors, and evolving pharmacological approaches used for GVHD prophylaxis, emphasizing their mechanisms and clinical outcomes.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AS A MEDIATOR BETWEEN ORGANISATIONAL POLITICS AND TURNOVER INTENTION AMONG DEVELOPMENT BANK EMPLOYEES IN OMAN
type: item
description: Background: Organisational politics are a common feature of workplaces and can shape employees’ motivation, engagement, and retention. Perceived unfairness or favouritism in pay and promotion decisions often leads to disengagement and increased turnover intention. This study examined the impact of organisational politics—political behaviour (PB), go-along-to-get-ahead (GAGA), and pay and promotion politics (PPP)—on employee engagement and turnover intention among staff in development banks in Oman. Employee engagement was tested as a mediator in these relationships. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was employed. Data were collected from 300 full-time employees across various departments and hierarchical levels. Employee engagement was conceptualised as a second-order construct comprising vigour, dedication, and absorption. SmartPLS 4.2 was used to analyse the measurement and structural models with bootstrapping (10,000 resamples). Results: PPP had a significant positive effect on turnover intention (β = 0.55, p < .001) and a significant negative effect on engagement (β = –0.29, p = .001). PB and GAGA had no significant effects. Employee engagement negatively predicted turnover intention (β = –0.38, p < .001) and significantly mediated the relationship between PPP and turnover intention (β = 0.11, p = .002). The model explained 17.1% of the variance in engagement and 58.9% in turnover intention. Conclusion: Perceived unfairness in pay and promotion reduces engagement and increases turnover risk. Transparent and merit-based systems are essential to enhancing engagement and retention in the banking sector.

Business Diplomacy Management Competency Model for the Managerial Level in the Kenyan Tourism Industry
type: item
description: This study aims to create a competency model for managers in the Kenyan tourism sector, with an emphasis on business diplomacy. The investigation was directed by two main objectives and research questions that concentrate on the existing and aspirational competencies of managers concerning business diplomacy in Kenya's tourism sector. The research employs a qualitative design centred on core competencies as well as the emotional and social competencies theories put forth by Boyatzis (2008). Twenty tourism enterprises in Kenya were chosen using purposeful, stratified, and simple random sampling techniques, with their managers constituting the sample size for the research. The interview schedule serves as a mechanism for data collection, with its reliability assessed through a non-proportionate method by experts who evaluate the quality of the tool to ensure it is thorough, clear, and measurable. Data collection was conducted in five stages: phase 1 involved a pilot study, followed by phases 2, 3, 4, and 5, with analysis commencing immediately thereafter. The modified Van Kaam Moustakas method was utilized to direct the data analysis process, which is presented in a thematic narrative format consistent with the study's objectives. The study revealed that managers have knowledge, skills, and attitudes relevant to business diplomacy; however, these alone are inadequate for fostering effective growth in the tourism sector, underscoring the need for critical competencies in the field of business diplomacy. Validated by experts, a competency model of business diplomacy has been developed using the Focus Group method. The adoption of this model would greatly enhance human capital development in the tourism sector, in accordance with the Kenyan vision 2030.

REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE STRUCTURE, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE, AND PROFITABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM CHINA’S LISTED BEVERAGE COMPANIES
type: item
description: Based on panel data from Chinese A-share listed beverage companies from 2014 to 2023, this paper uses ordinary least squares (OLS) to conduct a baseline regression. Using return on assets (ROA) as the explained variable, this paper systematically examines the direct impact of financial indicators such as sales revenue, accounts receivable, investment income, operating costs, accounts payable, period expense ratio, and R&D investment on firm profitability. Furthermore, capital expenditure (CE) is introduced as a mediating variable. Through stepwise regression and mediation effect tests, this paper further reveals the indirect mechanism by which revenue and expenditure structure influence profitability through investment decisions. The empirical results show that sales revenue, investment income, and period expense ratio have a significant positive impact on firm profitability, while operating costs and R&D investment have a significant negative impact on profitability. Accounts receivable and accounts payable have no significant impact on profitability. Further mediation effect analysis reveals that capital expenditure has a significant transmission effect between some financial indicators and profitability, indicating that firms’ capital investment decisions play an important mediating role in the relationship between revenue, costs, and profitability. Overall, this study reveals the main financial drivers of profitability in the beverage industry and their impact paths, providing an empirical basis for understanding the profit model of industry enterprises.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND GREEN INNOVATION: EVIDENCE FROM CHINESE LISTED COMPANIES
type: item
description: This research paper empirically investigates the influence of corporate governance on internal innovation, with a particular focus on green innovation (GI). Drawing from the perspective of internal governance mechanisms, the study examines the effects of equity checks and balances (EB), executive incentives (EI), board size (BS), and board independence (BI) on corporate green innovation. Utilizing unbalanced panel data from Chinese A-share listed companies spanning 2008 to 2022, the analysis employs a two-way fixed effects regression model. The research methodology and variable selection are informed by the frameworks of Nageri and Gunu (2020) and Zhao et al (2023). The empirical results reveal that EB, EI, and BS exert significantly positive effects on GI, whereas BI shows no statistically significant relationship. The originality of this study lies in its comprehensive analysis of how internal governance structures systematically shape green innovation outcomes. By constructing an integrated analytical framework, this study contributes to the theoretical understanding of corporate green innovation drivers. Moreover, the findings offer valuable insights for both policymakers and corporate leaders, particularly under the strategic imperative of “dual carbon” goals, highlighting the importance of optimizing internal governance to strengthen long-term innovation capacity and competitive advantage.

FINTECH DEVELOPMENT AND COMMERCIAL BANKS
type: item
description: The adoption of financial technology (fintech) by commercial banks has surged over the past decade, particularly in emerging markets, as institutions seek to enhance service delivery, reduce operational costs, and extend financial inclusion. This study synthesizes evidence from multiple regions—Africa, Asia, and the Gulf Cooperation Countries—on the impact of fintech on bank performance and efficiency. Findings reveal mixed results: while fintech initiatives such as mobile banking, internet banking, and cashless payment systems generally enhance banking access and operational efficiency, their influence on financial performance indicators like return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) varies significantly across contexts. In South Africa, mobile broadband subscriptions (MBS) showed limited correlation with profitability, except for banks that aggressively digitized operations. In Indonesia, fintech regulation had differential impacts across bank types, with regional banks experiencing more pronounced changes. In Malaysia and India, cashless payments and mobile banking were positively associated with bank efficiency and profitability. Conversely, studies from the Gulf and China highlight that increased fintech competition and investment costs can depress profitability, particularly in the short term. Overall, while fintech has broadly improved service delivery and customer reach, the associated costs and competitive pressures from neobanks and fintech firms may offset financial gains for traditional banks, especially those slow to adapt. The study underscores the need for strategic alignment between fintech investments and long-term financial goals to optimize returns.

THEORETICAL REVIEW ON EFFICIENCY OF COMMERCIAL BANKS
type: item
description: This article aims to present an in-depth background of theories that relate to the efficiency of commercial banks. Several theories have been applied by scholars to assess the determinants of efficiency for banks and the banking sector (Poczter, 2017). The theories include the economic theory of demand and supply, which considers the impact of interest rates on credit demand (Athanasoglou et al., 2006); the modern production theory, which assesses how effectively firms such as banks use inputs to produce outputs using concepts such as cost, scale, price and technical efficiency, the modern portfolio theory proposed by Markowitz in 1952, which seeks to find the optimum portfolio for investors concerned with distribution of returns over a single time horizon (Osifo and Ighodaro, 2020); the dynamic efficiency theory, which considers the ability of firms or markets to innovate and optimise over time in response to changing conditions and new information (Frantz, 1988); the market power theory, which assumes that the market structure of the industry influences the financial performance of a firm (Khana and Hanif, 2019), the stakeholder theory,which considers the broader impact of firms such as banks on their environment; and the agency theory, which looks at the role of management and the concept of corporate governance (Mwenda and Mutoti, 2011).

PAKISTAN'S STATE STRUCTURE AND EAST AND WEST PAKISTAN DISPARITY: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
type: item
description: Based on the Lahore Resolution of 1940, India was divided and Pakistan was established in 1947. At the time of establishment, Pakistan was composed of five provinces. East Pakistan is one of the most important provinces among the five provinces. The Lahore Resolution was announced to ensure autonomy for the provinces of Pakistan. The poor Muslim population of East Pakistan joined the Pakistan state with the goal of establishing their own rights through autonomy. But the government of Pakistan failed to provide autonomy to East Pakistan and eventually a huge disparity was created between the two parts of Pakistan. The present study highlights the disparity between East and West Pakistan in economic, political, military, educational, agricultural, health and industrial sectors.

CORPORATE LAW AND THE GOVERNANCE OF THE INDIAN PRIVATE CORPORATE SECTOR SINCE GLOBALIZATION.
type: item
description: The liberalization of India's economy in 1991 marked a transformative era for corporate law and governance, aligning the private sector with global best practices. The enactment of the Companies Act, 2013, introduced key reforms, including independent directors, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and enhanced shareholder rights, ensuring greater transparency and accountability. Regulatory bodies such as SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) played a pivotal role in enforcing compliance, curbing insider trading, and safeguarding investor interests. Additionally, the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), 2016, provided a structured resolution mechanism, improving corporate insolvency management. The Competition Act, 2002, further strengthened market fairness by restricting monopolistic practices. Despite these advancements, challenges persist in regulatory enforcement, compliance burdens, and addressing corporate ethical concerns. The dominance of family-owned businesses, judicial delays, and the evolving corporate governance landscape require continuous policy refinements. Furthermore, the integration of digital governance, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards, and fintech regulations is crucial for fostering long-term investor confidence and sustainable economic growth. This research critically examines the evolution of corporate law post-globalization, its impact on private sector governance, and the effectiveness of regulatory frameworks in promoting ethical business conduct. It underscores the significance of corporate law as a “watchdog” for investor protection while highlighting areas requiring further reforms. Addressing these gaps will be instrumental in ensuring robust corporate governance and reinforcing India's position in the global business landscape.

A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE PRESSURE AND PROBLEM-ORIENTED DAYDREAMS: KEY DRIVERS OF INNOVATIVE WORK BEHAVIOUR FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.
type: item
description: Researchers studying organizational behavior have been examining a variety of intricate phenomena that result in improved performance outcomes for a long time. To achieve organizational expectations, workers must carry out their duties in a logical and reasonable manner. Previous research on the value of attention in organizations has shown that maintaining engagement has positive effects. Engagement is defined as the use of cognitive, physical, and emotional energies for various tasks and activities that will make up one's role at work (Kahn, 1990; Newton, LePine, Kim, Wellman & Bush, 2020). The study focuses on stress and daydreaming or mind wandering and exploring the relationship between innovative work behaviour, daydreaming and sustainability development. Surveyed 436 employees in Bengaluru, using a structured questionnaire for primary data collection alongside relevant secondary data. An effort was made to examine whether the problem-oriented daydreams determine the relationship between innovative work-behaviour and performance pressure. The role of problem-oriented daydreams between task performance and performance pressure was also examined. The study concludes that encouraging problem-oriented daydreaming in high-pressure environments may support sustainable, innovation-focused outcomes in organizations.

MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INCLUSION: A COMPARISON OF SELECTED METHODOLOGIES
type: item
description: Abstract:- Purpose: The aim is to compare the selected methodologies used for constructing an Index of Financial Inclusion (IFI), as there exists conflict over the methodologies adopted to construct a financial inclusion index in the literature in terms of performance accuracy, and efficiency. The impact of dimension weights on index values has also been studied. Design/methodology/approach: An IFI has been built with three broad dimensions, banking penetration, availability, and usage of banking services with the selected methodologies. Data for the study include state/UT-wide bank data, demographical, geographical, and economic data, which are taken from Reserve Bank of India’s publications. Findings: (1) An IFI constructed with the methodologies (TOPSIS with EWM and Sarma (2015) with EWM) shows almost similar performances in terms of descriptive statistics; (2) There is only a slight difference in the financial inclusion performance between the methodologies based on Camera and Tuesta (2014) with two-stage PCA and Sarma (2008, 2015) with the subjective weights which make use of the descriptive statistics; (3) Camera and Tuesta (2014) methodology assigns a narrow weight to the index dimensions whereas, the proposed two-stage PCA model assigns a wider weight. Practical implications: The present study is useful to all the stakeholders, who are interested in the measurement of financial inclusion, say policymakers, research communities, etc., and the study offers direction to future studies on the methodology to be adopted. Originality/value – To the best of authors’ knowledge, no studies have been carried out with the same purpose. Hence, the present study is new to the IFI literature.

THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP STYLES IN ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION
type: item
description: Abstract: In modern organizations, leadership plays a pivotal role in determining overall performance and employee motivation. As organizations face increasing complexity and change, adaptive leadership styles have emerged as critical for fostering a productive, innovative, and resilient workforce. Rigid, outdated leadership approaches often hinder organizational growth by stifling creativity, reducing employee engagement, and limiting responsiveness to external market shifts. Conversely, adaptive leadership encourages flexibility, empowerment, and collaboration, which in turn enhances motivation, promotes higher job satisfaction, and drives long-term organizational success. Effective leaders who understand the need for strategic flexibility are able to navigate challenges, leverage employee strengths, and adapt their leadership approach to different situations, ensuring that their teams remain engaged and committed to achieving organizational goals. This paper explores the importance of adaptive leadership, highlights the pitfalls of rigid leadership models, and emphasizes the need for a flexible, strategic leadership framework to enhance motivation, performance, and sustainability.
