Past literature reviews on women entrepreneurship have been criticized for their limited scope, lack of interdisciplinary perspective, and the need for more objective, technology-facilitated analytical methods. Our study provides insights into the development of women entrepreneurship research, including a new analysis through the lens of sustainable development and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bibliometric indicators and a systematic literature review approach are used to analyze literature published between 1991 and 2021 to better map the development of research and related opportunities for enhancing studies on women entrepreneurship. In addition to traditional bibliometric indicators such as publications, citations, etc., we used altmetrics, a new metric to assess the engagement and impact of publications based on social media presence....

The purpose of this work is to analyse the major risk factors influencing the customers in their e-banking operations. Based on the classic stimulus-response approach, we have identified 15 risk stimuli and four major risk constructs that can cause some encumbrance in e-banking operations. We have also identified some risk mitigation strategies based on the review of literature and focus group discussions. In this work, a stimulus-response model was constructed by linking the operational risk in e-banking with the risk mitigation strategies. Further, we used data from 742 respondents for empirically validating the proposed model. The results of covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) revealed that the strategies identified have a positive effect on mitigating the internet banking risk (IBR) only.

Research shows that improving employee health and well being will enable employers to build up a more productive workforce. Ergonomics is the application of human sciences to the optimization of people’s working environment. As Literature review reveals, its application was limited mainly to the production sector till the recent past. But now, service industry also views its importance seriously and Ergonomics is turning out to be a key element for their HR strategies. Yet, it is not an intrinsic part of organisational culture in many a cases. This study is to provide a larger framework on the relevance of Ergonomics in Indian financial sector keeping in view the modern technological and infrastructural changes. Also, the study aims to find out the correlation between the work place conditions and the employee performance. Data for this study was collected from Employees and HR managers in financial companies in Banking and nonbanking sector so as to determine whether there is any perceived system based on sound ergonomic principles in such organizations. Various Statistical tools have been utilized to analyse the data for arriving at the conclusions.
