Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between dispositional mindfulness and financial well-being (FWB) and the mediating role of materialism on this relationship. Design/methodology/approach: A conceptual framework is provided to support the research hypotheses. A...

Despite widespread recognition that credibility is an important determinant of inflation persistence, surprisingly little empirical evidence exists to support this hypothesis. We investigate this hypothesis using data for US and UK. Our results suggest that the degree of inflation persistence is...

Dual application of biomass for biohydrogen and biodiesel production could be considered a feasible option for economic and sustainable energy production from microalgae. In this study, after a large screening of fresh water microalgal isolates, Scenedesmus sp. NBRI012 and Chlorella sp. NBRI029...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to take a micro-foundational perspective to identify the effective leadership style and employee work behavior in achieving the goals of sustainability. It also aims to identify the mechanism through which leaders influence employees’ performance....

Purpose: Within the operations management literature, quality management (QM) has been one of the most popular research areas over the last few decades. The impact of QM systems on firm performance has been the subject of constant interest and challenge among researchers. Last such review was...

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the technical efficiency and productivity changes in the integrated steel plants in India over a period of five years. Design/methodology/approach: Since this evaluation of integrated steel plants needs consideration of multiple input and output...

Maximum simultaneous squeezing and antibunching in the superposition states, |ψ〉=Z1|α〉+Z2|β〉, of two coherent states |α〉 and |β〉, where Z1,Z2,α,β are complex numbers, is studied for the case |α+β|⪢|α−β|. We show that the maximum squeezing for the operator...

We analyze the dramatic decline in India's inflation over the last two years using an augmented Phillips Curve approach and quantify the role of different factors. Our results suggest that, contrary to popular perception, the direct role of lower oil prices in India's disinflation was relatively...
