<p>Este estudio examina si la presencia de la familia en la propiedad de la empresa y la parti- cipación activa de los miembros de la familia en la gestión o gobierno de la empresa influyen, in- dividual o colectivamente, sobre la rentabilidad. Mediante datos de 1038 empresas colombianas del periodo 2008-2010, este estudio no encontró una relación lineal entre la presencia de la familia en la propiedad con la rentabilidad de la empresa. Sin embargo, se logró comprobar que la relación entre la concentración de la propiedad familiar y la rentabilidad sigue una forma parabólica. Por otra parte, la presencia de los miembros de la familia en la gestión tiene un efecto positivo y significativo con el nivel de  rentabilidad. Los resultados sugieren que, a partir de una mayor concentración de la propiedad familiar, la renta- bilidad de la empresa se incrementa, y la parti- cipación activa de los miembros de la familia en la gestión está positivamente relacionada con la rentabilidad.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This study investigates whether the presence of family members in the ownership, and active participation in the management or governance of a company influence either individually or co- llectively on its profitability. Using data obtained from 1038 Colombian companies during 2008- 2010 this study did not find a linear relationship between the presence of family members and company´s profitability. However, it found that the relationship between family ownership and profitability does follow a parabolic function. On another hand, presence of family members in management has a significant and positive effect on the profitability level. Results show that the greater the ownership by family members, the greater the profitability, and that active partici- pation of family members in management is also positively related to profitability<strong><br /></strong></p>

The ability to understand concepts is one of the goals of mathematical ability. One of the factors for the lack of ability to understand concepts is self-confidence. This study aims to determine the relationship between students' self-confidence and understanding of mathematical concepts in class XI MIA SMAN 3 Lubuk Basung Kabupaten Agam.This study uses inferential research where inferential research is a study that tests a hypothesis, and relates one variable to another with quantitative analysis. The subjects of this study were students of class XI MIA 1 SMAN 3 Lubuk Basung. The research instrument used was a self-confidence questionnaire and a test for understanding mathematical concepts. The data analysis technique used is simple linear regression analysis and product moment correlation.Based on data analysis, the regression coefficient of the questionnaire score (b) is with a significant level of 0.05 because the regression coefficient (b) is positive, so there is a positive effect of X on Y. It means that the bigger X, the bigger Y on average. The close linear relationship between X and Y can be seen from the correlation coefficient r = where r approaches 1, then a positive linear relationship between X and Y so that it can be concluded that the bigger X, the greater Y and self-confidence has a positive influence on the ability to understand concepts of class XI students.

Although empirical evidence has accumulated showing that group climate has a significant impact on employee voice, knowledge about how different types of climates may influence voice is limited. Drawing upon the theory of planned behavior, we develop and test a model that explains whether and how the two group climates, cooperation and sanction, differentially predict employee promotive and prohibitive voice. We test the hypotheses using data collected from a sample of 274 full-time employees nested in 58 workgroups across two time periods. The empirical results show that group climate predicts employee voice in different ways: Group cooperation climate has a positive effect on both types of employee voice, whereas group sanction climate shows a negative effect on promotive voice. Individuals’ psychological capital is a cross-level mediator in the relationship between group climate and employee voice. Employees’ prevention focus negatively moderates the relationship between psychological capital and employee voice. These results highlight the important effect of group climate on employee voice in organization and calls on managers to create a favorable environment to increase employees’ psychological capital and voice behaviors.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mediating effect of information sharing (IS) on the link between supply chain integration (SCI) practices (internal, customer and supplier) and internal process performance (IPP) by using selected agribusiness firms from an emerging economy, Ghana. Design/methodology/approach To determine the effect of IS on the nexus between SCI practices and IPP, a research framework was developed and tested using data amassed from 156 agribusiness firms for the study. The data set was assessed and hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. Findings The outcomes revealed that both INI and CI positively and significantly influenced IS. However, the results disclosed that SI has no significant positive effect on IS among the Ghanaian agribusiness firms. The findings of the study further discovered that IS fully mediates the relationship between INI, CI and IPP, whereas SI has a direct interaction with IPP. Originality/value This study contributes to the existing supply chain management research by empirically authenticating IS as the mediator between SCI practices and IPP. From the viewpoint of a developing economy, this paper identifies the significant connection that exists between SCI practices, IS and IPP. The outcomes recommend that IS is a core driving facilitator to reinforce the correlation between SCI practices and IPP.

Over the last few years, information and communication technology (ICT) has become a key catalyst for economic growth. The durability of this technology is demonstrated by the rapid proliferation of the Internet, mobile phones and cellular networks across the globe. However, among economic scholars, the question of exactly how the spread of ICT affects economic development and FDI, especially in ASEAN countries with differences in levels of income, remains unanswered. The aim of this study was essentially to explore the relationship between ICT dissemination, FDI and economic growth in ASEAN-8 countries. By using data from 2003 to 2017, the panel regression analysis was used to evaluate these relationships. The results showed that the dissemination of ICT and FDI are important and they have a positive effect on the ASEAN-8 countries’ economic development.

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of the relationship of managerial skills and financial performance on earnings management. Sample from this study is a manufacturing company listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2014 to 2016, and as many as 137 sample companies. Managerial skills are measured using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Financial performance is measured using ROE (Return on Equity) financial ratios. While earnings management is measured by calculating discretionary accruals of modified Jones models. By using multiple regression analysis, it was found that managerial skills did not affect earnings management. Because capable managers tend not to do earnings management. Furthermore, financial performance has a positive effect on earnings management. Because when a company's performance is bad, management tends to maintain the company's reputation for not doing earnings management.

AbstractOver the last years, the employment rate of older workers has increased sharply in Germany. Against this background, the question arose as to whether firms have contributed actively to the growing share of older employees, either by offering special human resource management (HRM) measures, such as further training (internal strategy) or by hiring older employees from the external labour market (external strategy). Our paper analyses the interrelation between both strategies. By using data from the IAB Establishment Panel, we investigate the determinants of the firms’ decision to use one or the other strategy or to combine both strategies. Our analyses show that some factors, such as firm size, experiences with older staff or a shortage of skilled workers promote the decision for both strategies. Other characteristics, in contrast, have a positive effect on one strategy only. This applies in particular to industrial relations, but also to the share of qualified workers within a company.

This paper investigates the relationship between work time arrangements and personal well-being in married and cohabiting couples. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Survey (SOEP), we study how the number of hours worked by the survey respondents and their partners influenced their own well-being. We also investigate possible transmission mechanisms between the two variables, namely income, hours spent in homemaking and care activities, and possible mismatch between desired and actual hours. Using Hybrid panel models we find evidence of different relations according to the respondent’s gender: Women report higher satisfaction with the increase of their partner’s working hours, while the opposite is true for men. At the same time, own hours have a positive effect on men’s life satisfaction, while they have the opposite effect for women. The presence of young children in the household further amplifies these results. Our conclusion is that respondents are happier when their and their partner’s behavior conforms to the roles of female homemaker and male breadwinner. Considering the absence of a strong mechanism related to time needs and time desires, we suggest those results are related to strong traditional attitudes towards gender roles and female labor force participation in the country considered.

This research investigates the relationship between corporate governance structure and attributes and the quality of reported earnings in a sample of Indonesian firms. The findings of our research reveals that both concentrated and family ownership are associated with lower earnings quality. In addition we find that independent members of a board committee act as an effective monitoring mechanism to oversee the accounting and financial reports processes of a company.
