Loan loss provisions in banks plays a vital role in maintaining the stability and health of banks, as well as fulfilling the function of banks in channeling public funds. This study aims to determine the effect of income smoothing and the behavior of procyclicality against reserves of credit losses losses, as well as the role of adoption of IAS 39 in PSAK 55 in moderating the influence of these two variables. The object of this study are conventional commercial banks that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange within the research period of 2008-2017. By using purposive sampling method, I obtained 20 bank samples and 196 observations. The hypotheses in this research are tested using multiple regression analysis. This study shows that income smoothing has a positive influence on loan loss provisions, whereas procyclicality and IAS 39 adoption in PSAK 55 do not affect loan loss provisions significantly. Meanwhile, IAS 39 adoption in PSAK 55 weakens the positive influence of income smoothing, however it cannot moderate the influence of procyclicality on loan loss provisions.

E-Commerce tax is among the most crucial factors affecting E-Commerce growth and information and communication technology, including playing a vital role in facilitating the global commerce market. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ICT development by using the ICT development index (IDI) and E-Commerce diffusion is an effect on E-Commerce taxation principles. The paper was proposed as a new approach and initiatives for implementing E-Commerce development through the circular model for E-Commerce sustainability (CMES). The online questionnaires for the survey were used to gather data via social media, i.e. Facebook, Line and Instagram. The data were gathered from a sample of 308 people who sell products and services through online commerce in Thailand. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to validate and measure the construction of the questionnaires. The relationship among the ICT development index, E-Commerce diffusion and the E-Commerce taxation principles was proved to apply successfully to the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique. The results showed that the ICT development index (IDI) has a positive influence on E-Commerce diffusion and E-Commerce taxation principles. Further, the results indicated that E-Commerce diffusion has a positive effect on E-Commerce taxation principles, and hence are significant.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine relationships between cross-cultural adjustment and stress of expatriate employees with families in a multinational corporation and identify common stressors reported during international transitions. Design/methodology/approach – This study utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods through an online survey based tool. The CernySmith Assessment captured the statistical measures of objective adjustment scales along with written in, subjective stressor responses from a sample of expatriates. Findings – Overall subjective stress level was negatively correlated with all five objective adjustment domains (organizational, cultural, relational, behavioral, and personal). Seven stressor categories (cultural, occupational, relational, historical, crisis, spiritual, physical) demonstrated statistically significant negative relationships with overall adjustment. Regression analysis indicated expatriate adjustment was predicted by spiritual, occupational, and support stressors. Write-in stressor responses provided specific expressions of individual stress challenges, strains, and hassles that support predicted relations according to the Family Adaptation and Adjustment Response model. Research limitations/implications – This study provides a snapshot of objective adjustment interacting with subjective stress for expatriate employees from a single international organization during a specific time period. Originality/value – These findings provide insights to organizations and human resource development professionals as well as to expatriates and their families on how stress impacts expatriate adjustment. It also highlights the need for support mechanisms to ease transitions and reduce stressors.

Understanding the antecedents of expatriate adjustment is vital for the success of international assignments. Social support is one of the most critical predictors of cross-cultural adjustment. Nevertheless, the nuances and interaction of diverse sources and types of support in the expatriates’ social networks need further scrutiny. This study examines the distinct and collaborative role of four different social groups in the expatriates’ social network, specifically host country nationals, home country nationals, compatriots, and foreign expatriates, on expatriate adjustment. For that purpose, an exploratory qualitative approach was adopted by using a diary study. The study was conducted with 42 single expatriates working in 21 different countries. The results showed that the nature of support provided by each social group was distinct, contributing to expatriate adjustment via different mechanisms. Moreover, it was found that these mechanisms worked collaboratively toward facilitating the expatriate adjustment.

Purpose – Reasons for women’s underrepresentation in international assignments include stereotypical assumptions within organizations about their ability to adjust abroad and more broadly a lack of trust from the corporate headquarters. Female expatriates’ adjustment may strongly vary depending on the host country and on host-country nationals’ attitudes toward them. Yet up until today, very few studies have examined female expatriate adjustment in a single and non-Asian host country. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap by comparing the cross-cultural adjustment of male and female expatriates in Switzerland. Design/methodology/approach – This study replicates Selmer and Leung’s (2003a) study design in order to compare adjustment of male and female expatriates working in multinational companies in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. Based on 152 valid questionnaires collected, the authors performed a multivariate analysis of covariance and further analyses of covariance to compare male and female expatriate adjustment. Findings – The authors find that female expatriates have significantly higher interaction and work adjustment levels than their male counterparts, while no significant differences between men and women were observed in terms of general adjustment. These findings in a European context are consistent with those of Selmer and Leung in an Asian context. Originality/value – Very few studies to date have examined the adjustment of female expatriates in a western host-country context, despite the fact that host-country cultural norms might strongly influence women’s experiences. The research brings new empirical evidence about cross-cultural adjustment of female and male expatriates in a western location. Contrary to persistent stereotypical assumptions, results emphasize again that women are able to adjust better or at least as well as their male counterparts.

 Increased globalisation within the British AEC (Architectural Engineering and Construction) sector has increased the need for companies to transfer their staff to manage their overseas operations. To be able to perform abroad, expatriates must harmonise themselves to the conditions prevailing in the host country. These include getting accustomed to living, working and interacting with the host country nationals. The process is commonly referred to as ‘cross-cultural adjustment’. Various factors influence the process of adjustment. In order to identify these issues, a qualitative study was undertaken, which mainly comprised of a comprehensive literature review and interviews with British expatriates working on international AEC assignments in Middle Eastern countries. The current study focuses on exploring the role of the organisation, host country, work related factors and their ability to dictate a British expatriate's adjustment. The findings suggest that success of expatriation does not entirely rest on an expatriate's ability but also on organisational support and assistance that expatriates receive prior to and during the assignment. Organisational factors such as, selection mechanisms, job design, training, logistical and social support, mentoring, etc., influence various aspects of expatriate adjustment. Striking cultural contrasts between British and Arab culture both in work and non work situations also dictate the level of support required by the expatriate, suggesting that expatriate relocation to less developed, remote or politically unstable regions, demands additional support and consideration by the parent company. This study is relevant to the AEC companies employing British expatriates, who need to be cognisant of the issues highlighted above to make rational and informed decisions when handling international assignments in the Middle East.
