The work environment of the offshore platform is unique as such employees live and work in the same confined area surrounded by nothing but the uncertain ocean. Due to the challenging and stressful working environment, oil and gas industry employees in Malaysia and especially in Borneo are facing critical work family enrichment and satisfaction issues. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the family work enrichment and satisfaction especially among employees in oil and gas industrial context. The main objective of this paper is to propose a framework on the relationships between work family enrichment factors (capital, affect and development) and satisfaction (job and family satisfaction) and the moderating role of socio-cultural factors (monocronic-polycronic time orientation and gender role ideology) among oil and gas industry employees in Bornoe. Thus, it might be recommended that the organization and management should enhance the job and family satisfaction related to work family enrichment and the skills of employer and supervisors to play effective key role in increasing socio-cultural environments in the organization which could affect employees' overall satisfaction. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0776/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The research focuses on determining the effect of commercial bank’s market power on net interest margin and the moderating role of financial access. The study uses annual data of 33 commercial banks in Indonesia from 2012 to 2019 based on the category of State-Owned Commercial Banks and National Private Commercial Banks. The data is obtained from secondary data, using financial reports published by commercial banks. The data is analyzed using moderated regression analysis to estimate two models, basic model is used to estimate the effect of market power on net interest margin, while the interaction model is used to estimate the moderating effect of financial access. Market power was measured using the Lerner index of each bank. Financial access was measured by the number of branches and the availability of electronic banking channels such as mobile banking, internet banking, and digital branch. The results show that the increase in commercial bank’s market power significantly increases net interest margin. Other results also show that branch and mobile banking & internet banking significantly moderate the effect of market power on the net interest margin, while the digital branch is not significantly moderating the relationship between market power and net interest margin.

Further, the authors collected data from 374 students from Mainland China and applied a regression analysis. Findings The study clarifies the positive relationship between perceived university support and growth-oriented/independence-oriented entrepreneurial intentions. Further, it proposes the differences in the moderating role of the Chinese sense of face in the relationships between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and growth- and independence-oriented intentions. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen method, the study results may lack generalizability. Hence, future studies are encouraged to test the proposed hypotheses.
