“…For the prediction, structural equation modelling (SEM) methodology was applied to test the hypotheses. The SEM technique also incorporates measurement error and can reveal best-suited predictions of interaction influences such as mediation (Li, Wang, Haque, Shafique, & Nawaz, 2020). Moreover, SEM is the most appropriate technique used by prior studies for testing the relationship between indicators (Songling, Ishtiaq, Anwar, & Ahmed, 2018).…”

The notion of opportunities is fast becoming a dominant topic in the field of entrepreneurship research. Based on the causation process, this study aims to identify the manager's decisions to take entrepreneurial action through opportunity discovery and opportunity creation indicators. Research Design & Methods: This empirical study tests its hypotheses by using a sample of 400 senior and middle-level managers from Pakistan and applied a SEM structural equation modeling technique. Findings: Our findings show that opportunity discovery and opportunity creation positively and significantly influence nascent entrepreneurial behaviour. Meanwhile, results reveal that the causation approach partially mediates the relationship between opportunity discovery, opportunity creation, and nascent entrepreneurial behaviour. Implications & Recommendations:The results of this study elucidate senior and middle level managers from a SME sectors of Pakistan. On the basis of our findings, policy makers, managers and entrepreneurship researchers may better understand how to discover and create an opportunity in starting a new business. Contribution & Value Added: This study is the first attempt that contributes to the field of entrepreneurship by taking the causation approach as a mediator and identifying the role of opportunity discovery and opportunity creation on developing nascent entrepreneurial behaviour among senior and middle-level managers in Pakistan.

“…Raineri (2018) DM relates to the management of employees' variety at work, including social inequalities and physical differences, such as appearance and inherent variations, race and gender. Li, Wang, Haque, Shafique & Nawaz (2020) DM is defined as management of all individual differences such as race, gender, age, cultural differences, education, background, interest, status and physical abilities.…”

The primary task of the paper is to propose a definition of the existing theoretical contributions to the term of workforce diversity management (WDM) in order to systematize present knowledge, clearly understand the definition of WDM in organizations and identify the gaps for future research. In this theoretical study, the Scopus database was used for sampling. 19 studies published since 2015 were identified, and then the selected papers were analysed according to key research definitions. Recently, the idea of diversity management (DM) acquires a new meaning; swiftly expanding its field and circulating around the world. WDM becomes a frequently significant part of Human Resource Management in corporations, as it helps companies to take a sustained competitive advantage in the current globalization and innovative age (Egerova, Jiřincová, Lančarič & Savov, 2013; Manoharan & Singal, 2017). The results of the research show that DM is perceived by a moderate number of existing publications as a method that helps to encompass both: a favourable corporate culture and organizational success. By assessing present studies on DM, the paper contributes to the literature on business and management and demonstrates the potential as the scrutinised field seems to be an attractive area for future research.

“…Before examining the structural model, the measurement model of the study was tested and evaluated. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to develop the construct validity of the measurement model (Li et al, 2020). After verifying construct validity, a structural model was examined to test the hypotheses and model fit.…”

Social media marketing is considered an integral part of the today’s marketing plans alongside the conventional tools. Social media’s practical application has changed the way of communication between organizations and consumers. In particular, the dynamics of interactions have been diversified in the Chinese technological cross-cultural environment. Foreigners are increasing in China and influencing the business markets. The reason for writing this article is to investigate the effects of the English language as a moderator on the viability of social media measurements and empirically test the electronic customer involvement regarding likes and comments that define the dedication and commitment. This research has analyzed the responses of 287 foreigners. The response was taken through online questionnaires distributed on a random sampling basis to social media users. Empirical research was performed by using SmartPLS3 for analysis to observe the relationships. The resultant role represents that all determinants are not similarly suitable, and are much diversified, in the context of China for the step-up of electronic customer involvement. More particularly, social media advertisement characteristics are more effective in the enhancement of electronic customers’ involvement than advertisement contents. Moreover, the use of the English language is significantly affecting the electronic customer involvement level. Tencent corporation and social media marketers should use this research to make new advertisement plans for further marketing purpose as it will guide them on how to create an innovative advertisement that will positively reap the cross-cultural environment.
