  • This study was conducted to verify the impact of social capital on labor market entry for poor and disabled women and to reveal the relationship. In the case of poverty-stricken and disabled women, the reality is that there is very little research on the impact on labor market entry depending on the level and type of social capital that disabled women possess or are involved in for economic activities. Therefore, in this study, we looked at how the level and type of social capital possessed by poor and disabled women affects their entry into the labor market. As a result of the study, the level of social capital of poor and disabled women is larger and the stronger the density, the more labor market they have. It was found to have a very significant impact on market entry, and in terms of social capital type, greater trust and participation were found to have a very significant impact on labor market entry. Based on these research results, major policy implications were suggested regarding the impact of the level and type of social capital of poor and disabled women on their entry into the labor market.

  • Self-efficacy has been extensively evaluated, but no studies have investigated the effect of self-efficacy on the self-reliance of women in poor-households economic productivity. This study analyzes self-efficacy as a personal factor, learning processes, and social support as an environmental factor towards the achievement of self-reliance in women from poor-households in productive economy businesses. Despite the dominant logic of this scheme, there is a need for field-based data regarding whether the variable really supports the sustainable empowerment of poor-households women. This study used the quantitative method through the survey technique. The samples of this study included 250 people collected from five regencies in Indonesia by using a multiple-stage random sampling. The data were analyzed with structural equation modeling. The results show that social support has a significant positive impact on the learning process; social support has a direct negative impact on self-efficacy. The learning process has a direct positive influence on self-efficacy, while social support has a non-significant impact on self-reliance. The learning process has a direct influence on self-reliance. Social support and the learning process both have significant positive impact on self-efficacy. Social support, learning process, and self-efficacy simultaneously have a positive impact on self-reliance in productive economic activities.

  • This study aims to investigate the impact of green corporate identity and employees' green identification on green business performance of international automobile manufacturers in Thailand. It involves 400 employees from the target study area, using questionnaires to collect data from January to February 2021, with purposive and convenient sampling methods. Data analysis employed structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that green corporate identity has a significant impact on employees' green personal-social identification and green business performance; meanwhile, employees' green social identification has a significant impact on green business performance. However, employees' green personal identification has a significant impact on green business performance only through employees' green social identification. Green corporate identity can increase the corporate' green business performance via economic, environmental and social aspects through employees' green personal-social identification. The findings suggest that green corporate communication through visual identity, employee behaviors, culture, policy products and services in response to environmental forces and drivers to create the green corporate identity is deemed to systematically work. Furthermore, the findings also suggest that employees' green identification on both personal and social levels can be a significant issue that the managers in automobile manufacturers should pay attention as well.

  • Archives identify and preserve records created by society. By making them available to people, archives can be a means of support to the community. The purpose of this study is to develop a model to measure the social impact of archives. Reviewing findings from previous research on the social impact of archives, this study's model is based on the logic model, an outcome-based evaluation model, given that impact is not only followed by outcomes but can be the outcome itself. The scope of social impact is limited to community empowerment in terms of the applicability of the suggested model. The model, which includes short-, medium-, and long-term outcomes, could be used to measure changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of archive users, and the social engagement of the people who experienced those changes in the community. The proposed model could include final outcomes that indicate the increase of community empowerment according to the civil society engagement. It is expected that the model is validated through applying quantitative and qualitative methodologies to measure the social impact of archives.

  • The primary goal of this study is to investigate the impact of social capital on consumer attitudinal evaluations. We propose a hypothetical receptacle, thereby applying a mediation framework because of social capital. We expect that increasing social capital would improve brand image and consumer-company (C-C) identification, resulting in positive in-role and extra-role customer behavior toward the brand. Data was collected from 425 respondents primarily from Karachi's five zones (East, West, North, South, and Central) and analyzed using confirmatory component analysis and structural equation design. The findings showed that social capital had a positive and significant relationship with customer extra-role behavior, as well as two mediators, brand image and consumer business identity. Furthermore, both mediators have a significant impact on both in-role and extra-role behavior. However, there is no evidence that social capital has a direct impact on in-role behavior. This study will help businesses in gaining a competitive advantage by concentrating on social capital to improve their brand image and customer relationship.
