Abstract: The Financial Service Modernization Act of 1999 has been crucial to the financial service industry ever since its creation. There are two primary reasons this Act was mandated to aid the financial service industry- the merger/barrier reason and consumer privacy reason. This paper evaluates whether this policy has achieved this object and how the effect the policy has had on the financial service industry compares to the non-policy effect on wholesale trade industry, retail trade industry and service industry. This paper finds that this policy is one of the significant reasons, If not the primary reason, for the increase in the Enterprise Value (EV) of firms within the financial service industries over the industries. Furthermore, the findings suggest that customer complaints may have lessened within the financial service industries more than Wholesale and Retail trade industries but not the service industries.

High employee turnover has a severe impact on financial service industry, both financially and emotionally. The financial service industries must take a step to recognize possible causes of turnover intention, measure the turnover rate, determine the turnover cost and address the turnover problems seriously. The aim of this study is to measure the determinants of job satisfaction and its effect on employee turnover intention in the financial services industry in Malaysia. In specific, it is to assess the relationships between the independent variables (compensation and benefit, employee recognition, supervision support and promotional opportunity) and employee turnover intention. A total of 127 feedbacks obtained from employees in four selected well-known banks in this study. The survey questionnaires were in the form of google form and were sent via email to the respective representative of the selected bank. The study used two types of data analysis and had identified five (5) hypotheses which were tested using statistical technique SPSS version 26. The descriptive analysis was used to gauge the respondent’s demographic information such as gender, age, education level, bank served and tenure of services. Meanwhile the inferential analysis was mainly for examining the relationship between compensation and benefit, employee recognition, supervision support, promotional opportunity and employee turnover intention. The results revealed promotional opportunity is the strongest predictor in influencing employee turnover intention with unstandardized coefficients, β = .673, t = 7.016 p <.05, followed by compensation and benefit with β = .276, t = 2.861, p <.05. The most significant contribution of this study is that it explores for the first time the investigation of compensation and benefit with promotional opportunity affecting employee turnover intention in the most well-known and established banks in Malaysia. This study is hoping to contribute both on theoretical and practical value to the banks in maintaining their ranking, competitiveness and finding best solutions towards retaining talented employees.

Purpose Drawing on the ability–motivation–opportunity theory applied to the greening of service industries, this paper aims to analyze the extent to which green human resource management plays a role in the adoption of eco-efficiency principles in the financial sector. Environmental knowledge management represents one of the key green human resource management components. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a survey with 178 employees working within one of the largest financial banks in Brazil, which has been investing in eco-efficiency for more than ten years. Findings On the basis of structural equation modelling, this study has provided the following findings: Among all factors taken into consideration in this study, only environmental training positively influences eco-efficiency; training may be suffering owing to barriers associated with empowerment and teamwork; the eco-efficiency program of the studied company would get benefits if it provided more autonomy to employees; and finally, the eco-efficiency program of the studied bank could be more effective if connected with green teams. Originality/value To date, this is the first work that relates – with empirical evidence from Brazil – GHRM and eco-efficiency in the financial service industry.

The financial crisis has been affected many global stock markets, as well as the Viet Nam stock exchange. This study analyzes the impacts of tax policy on market risk for the listed firms in the non-banking financial service and investment industry, so-called financial service industry, as it becomes necessary. First, by using quantitative and analytical methods to estimate asset and equity beta of total 10 listed companies in Viet Nam financial service industry with a proper traditional model, we found out that the beta values, in general, for many companies are acceptable. Second, under 3 different scenarios of changing tax rates (20%, 25% and 28%), we recognized that there is not large disperse in equity beta values, estimated at 1,048, 1,050 and 1,052.These values are just little higher than those of the listed VN construction firms but much higher than those of listed banking firms. Third, by changing tax rates in 3 scenarios (25%, 20% and 28%), we recognized equity /asset beta are most the same (0,23 and 0,16) if tax rate increases from 20% to 25%, then goes up from 25% to 28%.
