Abstract: Thousands of migrant Bangladeshi workers have been compelled to abandon their
occupations as a result of the extensive spread of the coronavirus pandemic, depleting foreign
currency reserves. There is a significant effect on the national economy from the money that expats
send back home. More importantly, remittances help migrant families directly by increasing
consumption and easing investment in sectors like education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
The primary goal of this study is to determine whether or not people of Sylhet division of
Bangladesh, who have received remittances from abroad, have altered their purchasing habits
or quality of life as a result of the Covid-19 epidemic. This study was conducted based on
survey. Multiple regression analysis was carried out. The research found that those who receive
remittances were negatively affected by the Covid-19 Pandemic monetarily, socially, and
psychologically. It is also found that households that received remittances had trouble saving
during this period and also had trouble paying back debts. This finding also reveals a dramatic
decline in the volume of remittances received over the studied period. Therefore, household
spending is severely impacted.
Keywords: Remittance, Covid-19, Beneficiaries, Social Impact, Financial Impact,

Abstract: This research investigates various challenges that disabled people face and ultimately
become their inspiration to be entrepreneur through various supportive mechanisms. Using an
explanatory lens, the researchers used semi-structured interviews to collect information from
14 disabled entrepreneurs. The findings showed that disabled entrepreneurs transform the
challenges into motivators with the help of the supportive mechanisms and become successful
in their business and personal life. Based on the findings, the study reveals how the challenges
become motivators through the supportive mechanisms and bring both personal and business
results to impaired entrepreneurs and provides discernments into the disabled population’s
business endeavors in Bangladesh.
Keywords: Disabled entrepreneurs, challenges, motivators, support systems, and

ABSTRACT
This study aims to explore the relationship between employee training and employee performance in organizations. It uses a theoretical framework of competencies—knowledge, skills, and attitudes—to present the relationship between training and employee performance. Training provides three learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs). These learning outcomes develop competency among employees to improve problem-solving capacity, productivity, timeliness to perform the assigned job, creativity, quality, and fulfillment of customer demand, which are the indicators used to measure employee performance. This study has been conducted based on primary data collected through a questionnaire survey from a sample of one hundred and seventeen employees working in the human resource (HR) departments of some selected private organizations in Bangladesh. Respondents have been selected through the convenience sampling method. Statistical tools, such as SPSS and MS Excel, are used to make correlation and regression analysis. Blanchard et al.’s (2014) KSA theoretical approach has been used to analyze empirical findings. This study has revealed that there is a moderate positive influence of training programs on employee performance. The empirical and practical significance of the study focuses on the importance of effective training to improve employee performance in organizations. However, organizations must use an effective evaluation system to ensure the effectiveness of training programs.
Keywords: Training, Competency, and Performance.

Abstract
This study aims at examining how ethical leadership behavior (ELB) influences employees to form organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) with the mediating role of organizational ethical climate (OEC). It also aims at exploring the impact of organizational citizenship behavior on employee engagement. Data were collected from 151 employees from 33 non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) path modeling technique was used to analyze the data. The study found that ELB had significant and positive impacts on OCB, which, in turn, significantly influence employee engagement. Surprisingly, it is revealed that the OEC positively mediates the relationship between ELB and OCB but does not consider significantly which calls for further research in this regard. This study will positively contribute to the decision-making process of organizations’ top management and policy makers.

Abstract
Technology is the master key for the growth and development of an organization. It fuels employees to become highly effective in their roles and shapes a sustainable organization. Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a highly regulated employee role behavior. While a few previous research claimed the association between traditional human resources management practices but the present research attempts to investigate the relationship between electronic human resources management (e-HRM) usage and OCB. To fulfill the research interest, the primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire and non-probabilistic judgmental sampling techniques were applied to determine the sample size. There were 22 pharmaceuticals and 120 targeted respondents. The structural equation model approach was used to determine the extent of the relationship. The study revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between e-HRM like e-training, e-performance appraisal with OCB, and a negligible relationship with e-selection. The finding of the study will be a strong tool for managers and leaders. . In the end, the future directions and implications are articulated.

Abstract
Customer Satisfaction and loyalty are critical indicators of the sharing economy’s long-term viability, particularly in developing countries. The main objective of this study is to develop a service quality model applicable in the sharing economy based on the ridesharing service perspective. Through synthesizing existing theories and literature, the dynamics of ridesharing service quality (RSSQUAL) have been conceptualized. To verify the study using the PLS-SEM analysis technique, data have been collected in Dhaka from 210 users of ridesharing services through an online questionnaire survey. This study finds that ridesharing service quality is a second-order model, whereby six primary dimensions including service availability, ease of use, empathy, tangibles, security & privacy, and cost constitute the primary dimensions. The study also finds significant relationships among RSSQUAL, service loyalty and customer satisfaction. Theoretically, this study extends the research of sharing economy through proposing the RSSQUAL model in a new research context. Practically, companies can focus on key quality dimensions to better satisfy the customers. Finally, the viability of sharing economy in the developing countries has been assessed through the determination of customer service loyalty and satisfaction.
