“…The village fund, if not corrupted, is very beneficial for the village community. For example, it is used for infrastructure development to improve economic performance, increase labor productivity, stimulate trade, increase job opportunities, and encourage rapid economic growth (Elfaki et al 2021;Khadim et al 2021). The importance of implementing village government to realize good village governance will also lead to efforts to improve and perfect the government management process to increase government efficiency.…”

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the internal control system, appropriate compensation, and the competency of the village apparatus regarding the prevention of village fund fraud with moral sensitivity as a moderating variable. This research is a quantitative method using hypothesis–inference to answer exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, and predictive analysis questions. Primary data are mainly used in this study. Data were collected using a survey method in a questionnaire with questions given to respondents to collect information. The sample of this research is the village office in 16 (sixteen) districts in Sumowono, Semarang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, with 289 participants. Data analysis was carried out using Warp-PLS 7.0 application software. The results showed that the village apparatus’s internal control system, appropriate compensation, and competency prevented village fund fraud. Furthermore, the novelty of this research is to add a moderating variable, moral sensitivity, which can strengthen the relationship between the internal control system, appropriate compensation, and competency of the village apparatus regarding the prevention of village fund fraud.

“…In other words, every one-point increase in the infrastructure decreases firms' logistics performance by 0.61. Khadim et al (2021) also found that the contribution of logistics to economic growth is negative for developing countries. However, even if they used LPI for logistics performance measurement, they didn't clearly express which index's subdimension or subdimensions are significant on this negative impact.…”

Logistics plays a vital role in ensuring the competitiveness of countries in the international arena. The Logistics Performance Index, which reflects countries' international competitiveness, shows a country's efficiency in trade. However, the Logistics Performance Index determines the countries' on-the-ground efficiency of trade supply chains or logistics services from the view of worldwide logistics firms' managers. As a result, the robustness of the underlying data is related to individual logistics firms' factors; moreover, in the common literature, the effects of the Logistics Performance Index on countries' individual logistics firms' logistics performance have yet to be researched. This paper aims to analyze the effects of Logistics Performance Index and its subdimensions on the logistics firms' logistics performance. The data is gathered from the World Bank database between 2007-2018 and the International Association of Forwarding and Logistics Service Providers sectoral databank. Variance-based structural equation modeling with regression analyses is used for measurements. Contrary to the joint logistics and supply chain literature, the results show that infrastructure and tracking sub-dimensions of Logistics Performance Index negatively relate to firms' logistics performance in Turkey.

“…A study by Khadim et al [61] is similar in its emphasis on the crucial roles of moderating variables and context of developing countries; it focused on the performance of logistic infrastructure and economic growth perspectives and used different methods, i.e., panel data and LPI index. Yang et al [62] also conducted a similar investigation in its emphasis on the link between environmental sustainability perceptions and pro-environmental practices and the application of a survey questionnaire; it, however, focused on the context of students, schools, university workplaces, and used different method, i.e., the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global pandemic and a threat to humankind. In addition to many cases of illness and millions of deaths, the economy and social interactions have suffered. It remarkably declined overall transportation and mobility in most countries. However, given that there is a gap between environmental sustainability awareness and what is practiced by transport users, the goal of this study was to empirically assess the mediating role of environmental awareness in the casual links between perceived risks of the COVID-19 pandemic and ecologically sustainable transportation use. The study identified relevant theories, conceptual frameworks, and variables. Mixed research and surveys were carried out on the public and private transport service users in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Comparative analysis, structural equation modeling, and structural causal model framework were applied to estimate casual relationships among variables and test the hypotheses. Despite the rising of human-caused climate change denial beliefs, findings revealed that a large part of the causes of the COVID-19 pandemic are climate change, biodiversity misuse, and wildlife degradation, all of which are environmental in nature and anthropogenic. People perceived the COVID-19 pandemic as more of a risk to others than to themselves, and climate change or global warming has become a danger to humanity, mainly during the pandemic. Accordingly, the pandemic risks increased people’s mainly passengers’ awareness of the environment, and this caused them to give greater consideration to the environmentally attractiveness of the transport they use. This, in turn, encouraged people to take personal climate-friendly measures and pro-environmental behavior, mainly greater willingness to use public transportation than private transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic than before. Thus, the total effect of the COVID-19 pandemic anxiety on the use of public transportation is completely mediated by enhanced environmental awareness. These are evidence that COVID-19 has strengthened environmental awareness and promoted sustainable action in the context of the transportation industry of developing countries. The study informs that urban planning and policy need to consider pandemic-sensitive and innovative public health and transport systems, integrated public health education, one health approach, and smart city. It suggests that maintaining the environmental awareness of societies and encouraging them to mitigate climate change through urgent climate actions and modal shifts to the use of sustainable urban transport such as public transportation.
