Impact of Perceived Organizational Support on OCB in the Time of COVID-19 Pandemic in Hungary: Employee Engagement and Affective Commitment as Mediators
2021
The performance of the employees and productivity of each individual, in general, have been badly affected because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizational citizenship behavior is regarded as an interpretation of the performance of the employee which is essential to contribute more to the organization’s processes and success. Therefore, to increase the organizational effectiveness and achieve its goals, it is crucial to understand the factors affecting the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees. This study aims to examine the impact of perceived organizational support on organizational citizenship behavior with the mediating role of employee engagement and affective commitment. To collect the data for this study, a linear snowball sampling method was used, and 380 foreign employees working in different service companies in Hungary participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed hypothesis. The results of the study revealed that perceived organizational support positively associated with organizational citizenship behavior and this relationship is also strongly mediated by employee engagement. On the other hand, employee engagement and affective commitment pose a direct positive influence on organizational citizenship behavior. This study has theoretical and practical implications as it will provide a comprehensive framework to better understand the factors influencing the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees.

Green Purchase Behavior of University Students in Hungary: An Empirical Study
2020
In this modern age of digitalization, consumers have access to an ample amount of information regarding a product’s quality and benefits, which makes consumers more conscious of their consumption patterns and their impact on social and environmental development. Likewise, marketing strategies have also taken a dramatic leap forward and started focusing on social responsibility, ethics, and environmental protection. The notion of environmental sustainability has created a market niche over several decades and has captured the market of pro-environmental consumers. However, there are still many latent factors that are obstacles to shifting the behavior of consumers towards buying green products. The present study was conducted to recognize factors that affect the consumers’ behavior when purchasing eco-friendly products. They were collected from 1185 university students in Hungary. To analyze the data, multiple regression and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were used. The results showed that willingness to pay (WTP) and green purchase intention (GPI) are the chief factors that affect the green purchase behavior (GPB) of these students. Environmental knowledge (EK) also has an important and positive impact on the green purchase behavior (GPB) of consumers, although regarding demographic variables, no such influence was noted. To conclude, the study showed that there was no bias in terms of age, gender, or qualification in the behavior of young students, as they have sufficient knowledge of environmental problems and are very willing to pay for environmentally friendly products. This study will create self-awareness among young consumers about their environmentally friendly purchasing behavior. This research will further benefit policymakers and marketers of the EU and Hungary to enhance their marketing strategies to promote their green products and their benefits. Future research can be developed on this theoretical framework and will help academicians to further reduce the research gap by using different constructs and methodologies.

Climate change is considered the greatest threat to human life in the 21st century, bringing economic, social and environmental consequences to the entire world. Environmental scientists also expect disastrous climate changes in the future and emphasize actions for climate change mitigation. The objective of this study was to explore the influence of climate mitigation finance on climate change in the region most vulnerable to climate shock, i.e., South Asia, in the period from 2000 to 2019. The panel autoregressive distributed lag model was used to estimate the influence of climate mitigation finance on climate change. The findings of this study demonstrate that, in the long-run, climate mitigation finance has a significant role in mitigating climate change, while in the short-run, climate mitigation finance has an insignificant effect on climate change. The result also shows that, in the long-run, climate change has a negative causal relation with GDP and globalization, but it has a positive causal relationship with energy consumption. The short-term effects of all independent variables are insignificant. Finally, based on the outcome of this study, several policy measures are recommended in order to mitigate climate change.

Capital is needed to accelerate the development process, but developing nations struggle with minimum resources. Since foreign direct investment (FDI) is essential to solve the funding shortage, developing nations make every effort to attract FDI to their countries. This study was conducted to explore the impact of institutional quality on sectoral FDI in Pakistan using time series data for the period from 1986 to 2019. To create a solid foundation for policy formulation, this study developed a single measure of institutional quality by utilizing a wide range of institutional indicators. It evaluates the impact of overall institution quality on sector-level FDI and examines the causal relationship between institutions and sectoral FDI with a clear focus on a single-country analysis. The dynamic simulated autoregressive distributed lag technique was employed to explore the impact of institutional quality and other factors on FDI. The results of the study explained that institutional quality and TO have a positive and significant effect on the FDI of the primary FDI sector at 5%, while in the case of the secondary sector, the effect of institutional quality, HDI and GDP on FDI inflow is significant at 10% and TO has a significant effect on secondary sector FDI at 5%. In addition, institutional quality and GDP have a positive relationship with tertiary sector FDI at 5%. The empirical findings show that higher institutional quality in emerging economies such as Pakistan encourages large transfers of technological advances through FDI, increasing the overall performance of the economy. This study found that institutional quality significantly increases sectoral FDI in Pakistan. Finally, this study prescribes some policy measures to increase FDI based on the findings.

The Impact of Forest Wood Product Exports on Environmental Performance in Asia
2022
The pressure on governments has been increased to improve their environmental performance across the globe. To ensure sustainability, every country is now responsible for educating its citizens on its environmental policies for decreasing pollution and managing natural resources. Therefore, it is crucial to manage all elements that have a negative impact on a country’s environmental performance in order to ensure sustainability. This study’s main goal was to investigate how factors such as forest wood product exports, energy use, urbanization, and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Asia affect environmental performance. In order to investigate the empirical links, this study analyzed annual data for 31 Asian countries from 2001 to 2020. Various econometric methodologies were used, including the generalized method of movement (GMM) approach and the Hausman test for fixed and random effects. According to the results of these econometric methodologies, forest wood product exports, urbanization, energy consumption, and GDP are all significantly contributing to Asia’s increasing CO2 emissions and deteriorating environmental performance. Based on the findings of this article, the selected Asian countries should curtail forest products in their trade basket in order to enhance environmental performance in the region. Furthermore, the alternative use of forest products and their exports could be increased to meet requirements.
