“…Correspondingly, Gandi conducted a study of nurses in selected states of Nigeria. The findings of that study support our study and suggest that occupational stress is a significant element in reducing the sustainable work performance of employees [49], so OS at the workplace is costly for organizations [50]. Unhappy or disengaged employees cost companies billions of dollars each year in lost revenues, settlements, and other damages.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships between workplace violence, occupational stress, and sustainable work performance. Multiple dimensions of workplace violence (harassment, mobbing, ostracism, and stalking) were used in this study. A questionnaire survey was used, composed of 48 items with a 5-point Likert scale (1, strongly disagree, to 5, strongly agree). Data were collected from 15 hospitals in the vicinity of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, Pakistan. The target population of this study consisted of doctors, nurses, and paramedical staff. We distributed 500 questionnaires among the target population. In total, 345 usable questionnaires were returned, resulting in a response rate of 69%. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test the direct and indirect effects. The results of this study highlight that in both direct and indirect relationships, workplace violence negatively influences sustainable work performance. The findings of this study are as follows: First, harassment reduces employee morale, which consistently lessens employees’ work performance. Second, mobbing at the workplace reduces productivity, increases levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and irritability, and increases low work engagement, work absences, and work destruction. Third, ostracism at the workplace reduces motivation among workers and organizations, which reduces work efficiency. Work performance is undermined due to stalking at the workplace because it creates a bad image and brings toxicity among colleagues and peers. Fourth, occupational stress is considered a stigma among employees who are facing stress at the workplace. We can conclude that if employees are happy and healthy, they can be their most productive. So, organizations need to construct a culture where employees can be at their best and shine.

“…It has been empirically verified that agriculture is the primary source of income in developing countries, and people's livelihood depends on it. Agriculture production is a critical entry-point and more useful for poverty reduction in developing countries (Christiaensen et al 2011, Liu et al 2020. Whereas cereal production accounts for nearly one-third of the total caloric intake in the South Asian countries (Mughal and Sers, 2020); thus, considered an essential factor of food security of these economies (Kropff & Morell, 2019).…”

The underpinned study examines the effects of climatic and non-climatic factors on Indian agriculture, cereal production, and yield using the country-level time series data of 1965-2015. With the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach, the long-term equilibrium association among the variables has been explored. The results reveal that climatic factors like CO2 emissions and temperature adversely affect agricultural output, while rainfall positively affects it. Likewise, nonclimatic factors, including energy used, financial development, and labor force, affect agricultural production positively in the long run. The estimated long-run results further demonstrate that CO2 emissions and rainfall positively affect both cereal production and yield, while temperature adversely affects. The results exhibit that the cereal cropped area, energy used, financial development, and labor force significantly and positively impact the long-run cereal production and yield. Finally, pairwise granger causality test confirmed that both climatic and non-climatic factors are significantly influencing agriculture and cereal production in India. Based on these results, policymakers and governmental institutions should formulate coherent adaptation measures and mitigation policies to tackle the adverse climate change effects on agriculture and its production of cereals.

“…Under the first category, studies have mainly used aggregated government expenditure or government size which consider government expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). Using DOLS, FMOLS, and GMM techniques, Liu et al (2020) demonstrated that increase in aggregate government expenditure reduces rural poverty incidence in Pakistan between 1980. Milovich (2018 included government expenditure as a control variable while examining the Fig.…”

One of the sustained political and economic strategies that have been adopted by various countries over 3 decades to achieve the desired level of development is fiscal federalism. Through this economic development strategy, various levels of government within an economy have been involved in the pursuit of reducing poverty overtime. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between government expenditure on poverty reduction with respect to federal and state government expenditures, respectively. The study employed the auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimation technique to establish long-run relationship, and to examine the magnitude of the effect of federal and state government expenditures in both the short-run and long-run periods using time-series data for the period 1981-2018. Results obtained indicate that only state government expenditure has positive effect on poverty reduction in Nigeria. The findings of this study, therefore, support the need for greater decentralization and increase in fiscal expenditure responsibilities and strengthening revenue capability in favor of state governments, giving that achieving desired poverty reduction could be achieved through increased state government spending on developmental projects.
