Fuel availability is essential in supporting the sustainable economic growth of a country. The manufacturing industry, transportation activities, and shipping products between regions are the primary sectors that require a sustainable fuel supply. The fuel station contributes to distributing and delivering fuel in serving the demand for the fuel. This study investigates supplier competency's role in supporting fuel station business performance through supplier integration, vendor-managed inventory, and supply chain collaboration. The research surveyed 71 fuel stations in Timor Leste using a questionnaire designed with a five-point Likert scale. The questionnaires are distributed to supervisors or higher positions at fuel stations by distributing questionnaires by direct delivery and also through Google Forms for areas far away in downtown Timor Leste. Data from respondents were analyzed using smartPLS software version 4.0. The results found that supplier competency positively impacts supplier integration, vendor-managed inventory, and supply chain collaboration. Moreover, supplier integration positively impacts vendor-managed inventory, supply chain collaboration, and business performance. Vendor-managed inventory fuel station sites can have an impact on improving supply chain collaboration and business performance. In addition, supply chain collaboration between vendors and fuel stations in Timor Leste enables continuous business performance improvement. This research paves the way for supervisors, managers, and fuel station top management to collaborate with suppliers in maintaining inventory levels and forecasting the supply and demand for fuel procurement requirements. Finally, this research contributes to the theory of inventory optimization and supply chain performance.

This study attempts to investigate the effects of Islamic events on both Islamic and conventional stock markets and analyze which market reacts more pronouncedly to these events. From 2012 to 2022, the research used daily stock return data from eight nations: Kuwait, India, Nigeria, Malaysia, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The study examines how Islamic holidays such as Ashura, Eid Meelad ul Nabi, Eid ul Azha, and Ramadan affect both Islamic and Western stock markets. The researchers use the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedastic (GARCH) model to analyze the data. The results of this analysis show that Islamic events in India, Nigeria, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Qatar have a strong and favorable link with Islamic stock returns. However, it was discovered that there is a little correlation between Islamic events and Islamic stock returns in the remaining three nations. The study also reveals a strong and favorable correlation between Islamic events and conventional stock performance in all countries. By offering a comparative analysis of the effect of Islamic events on Islamic stock markets and mainstream stock markets, these findings add to the body of current material. Every religion has its own set of rituals that its adherents observe, and these rituals frequently have an impact on different economic and non-economic activities. This study sheds light on the precise connection between these events and stock market performance by examining the impact of Islamic occasions on both Islamic and conventional stock markets.

This study investigates the influence of MSME actors' characteristics on the use of sharing economy, management accounting system, and financial performance during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Based on a questionnaire survey obtained from 167 respondents, we hypothesize and find that age and non-formal education have a positive effect on the use of the sharing economy. MSMEs that are managed by actors at a young age tend to use the sharing economy to maintain their business. In addition, MSMEs’ leaders that receive non-formal education acquire additional business knowledge encouraging them to use the sharing economy. Furthermore, the use of the sharing economy has a positive effect on Management Accounting Systems usage. Finally, Management Accounting Systems usage has a positive effect on the financial performance. The results of this study provide useful insights into the design of effective MSMEs' mentoring systems and support the Indonesian government program toward empowering MSMEs.

The aim of this research was to investigate the impact of various work-related factors, such as task load, workers’ compensation, and organizational structure community on job success and the overall performance of the Jordan tourism board. The researchers conducted an analysis of 269 randomly selected samples from their study and discussed their findings to validate their hypotheses. The study revealed that factors like compensation levels, organizational structure, community, and task load significantly influence individual and organizational success.

The motivation of this study is to provide empirical evidence of service companies’ performance regarding nine dimensions in a total quality management model during the COVID-19 pandemic. The nine dimensions highlight strategic company activities, and it allows a comparative analysis of the overall effect of having a QMS such as ISO 9001:2015 on Peruvian service companies. A total of 630 Peruvian service companies were surveyed for this study. The questionnaire included 35 Likert-scale items that were further classified into nine (9) dimensions. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to estimate any significant differences between the ISO 9001 certified and non-certified companies. Our findings showed that the performance of ISO 9001:2015 certified companies was significantly higher than that of non-certified companies in all dimensions. Moreover, our findings showed that managers in ISO 9001:2015 certified companies effectively implemented the nine dimensions of the model. The originality of this study lies in proving the positive effect of having a QMS in service companies in a context of slow economic growth and decline of consumer demand such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings might encourage service companies, especially those in developing countries, to allocate the necessary resources to obtain a QMS such as the ISO 9001:2015.
