Impact of National Innovation System on Digital Payment Systems in Mauritius

The study examines how the National Innovation System (NIS) impacted the development and adoption of digital payment technologies in the country. This system played a vital role in promoting financial inclusion, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting economic growth. The research evaluated the current landscape of digital payments in Mauritius, focusing on factors like infrastructure, adoption trends, and regulatory frameworks. A mixed-methods approach was used, blending quantitative data collection with qualitative policy analysis. Quantitative data was gathered through questionnaires, while qualitative insights were obtained from analyzing relevant policy documents. This dual approach allowed for a comprehensive assessment of key elements that influenced digital payment systems. The analysis explored various factors, including government regulations by investigating how the legal and regulatory environment shaped digital payment adoption; capacity for innovation by assessing the ability of the country\u27s innovation ecosystem to support the growth of digital payment solutions; technological infrastructure by examining the availability of the technological resources necessary for digital transactions; socio-economic influences by analyzing how societal and economic conditions, such as income levels and access to technology, affected adoption rates; and competitive landscape by considering how competition among digital payment providers impacted innovation and service delivery. The study identified both opportunities and challenges within Mauritius\u27 NIS, offering suggestions for improvements to foster greater digital payment adoption. The findings underscored the importance of nurturing a robust innovation ecosystem to drive digital transformation and economic development in emerging economies like Mauritius, highlighting how innovation could support wider access to financial services and contribute to national growth

The Role of Employability Skills and University Support towards Employability: A Mediation of Self-efficacy

The study aims to delve into the factors influencing self-perceived employability among university students in Vietnam, while also scrutinizing potential gender disparities in these determinants. Employing a cross-sectional design, the research employs structural equation modeling to analyze data gathered from 306 students across various academic disciplines. The study evaluates constructs including perception of employability skills, perception of university support, self-efficacy, and self-perception of employability. Furthermore, a multigroup analysis is conducted to discern any variations in the relationships between these constructs across genders. Results from the structural equation modeling unveil noteworthy gender differences in these relationships. Specifically, while the perception of employability skills significantly impacts the self-perception of employability among males, self-efficacy emerges as a more influential predictor among females. Additionally, the multigroup analysis suggests that the influence of perception of university support on self-perception of employability remains consistent across genders. Nonetheless, a slight gender discrepancy is observed in the relationship between perception of employability skills and self-efficacy, prompting further exploration. These findings illuminate the intricate interplay of employability-related factors and gender in shaping students\u27 perceptions of their employability. The study advocates for tailored interventions that account for these genderspecific influences to enhance employability outcomes among university student

Influence of Fintech Adoption on Sustainable Performance via mediation role of Green Finance and Green Innovation

This study investigates the interrelationships between fintech adoption, green finance, green innovation, and sustainable performance within the financial sector of the United States. A cross-sectional research design was employed, and data were collected from 398 entry-level and managerial-level employees. Convenience sampling was utilized to gather a diverse representation of participants working across various roles within financial organizations. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling was employed for data analysis. The findings reveal significant positive relationships between fintech adoption, green finance, green innovation, and sustainable performance, underscoring the transformative potential of fintech in driving sustainability initiatives within the financial sector. Specifically, fintech adoption positively influences both green finance and green innovation, while green finance and green innovation independently contribute to sustainable performance. Moreover, fintech adoption indirectly impacts sustainable performance through its effects on green finance and green innovation, highlighting the interconnectedness of these constructs in driving organizational sustainability. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, financial institutions, businesses, innovators, and sustainability practitioners seeking to leverage fintech and innovation to promote sustainable development and enhance organizational performance within the financial sector
