Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Corporate Finance Management and Social Responsibility for Sustainable Development is multidisciplinary in scope and interdisciplinary in content and methodology, publishing content from a broad range of financial management and sustainability studies, including:

  • The activities, strategies, structures, and decision-making processes of (multinational) enterprises for sustainability;
  • Interactions between (multinational) enterprises and other actors, organizations, institutions, and markets for sustainability;
  • The corporate finance management of firms (intrafirm trade, finance, investment, technology transfers, and offshore services) from a sustainability perspective;
  • How the international financial environment (economic, financial, legal, political) affects the activities, strategies, structures, and decision-making processes of firms within corporate finance management and social responsibility regarding sustainability;
  • Cross-country comparative studies of businesses, business processes, and organizational behavior in different countries and environments in meeting Corporate Finance Management and Social Responsibility for Sustainable Development goals;
  • Fintech financial inclusion, innovation, technology, services and the impact of fintech on the banking sector and capital market;
  • Medical management, such as medical human resource management, medical material management, medical quality management, medical marketing management and medical financial management;
  • Other topics related to sustainability, such as its definition and quantification; measurement and monitoring; tools; applications; related policies and laws; and sustainability science in the fields of applied economics and finance.

Our aim is to encourage the publication of in-depth experimental and theoretical research relating to natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities in as much detail as possible in order to promote scientific predictions and impact assessments of global change and development. Full experimental and methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

This study explored the effects of perceived value, price sensitivity, word-of-mouth, and customer satisfaction on the repurchase intentions of consumers who had purchased safety shoes. The survey was conducted from 15 December 2021 to 15 February 2022. A total of 621 valid questionnaires were analyzed by structural equation modeling. The empirical results show that perceived value significantly positively affected customer satisfaction, word-of-mouth, and repurchase intention. Customer satisfaction had a significant positive effect on word-of-mouth and repurchase intention. Price sensitivity and word-of-mouth had a significant positive effect on repurchase intention. Customer satisfaction and word-of-mouth partially mediated between perceived value and repurchase intention. However, there was no mediation effect between price sensitivity and repurchase intention. Thus, price sensitivity directly affected consumers’ repurchase intentions. Based on the results, this study proposed suggestions to practitioners, such as emphasizing the eco-design of safety shoes and promoting environmental sustainability to enhance consumers’ perceived value, as well as understanding the consumers’ price sensitivity to the product. The findings can provide practitioners with references regarding operational strategies to promote sustainable business operations globally amid the present environment, social, and governance wave.

Digital transformation is essential to financial sustainable development. Since the beginning of 2020, the whole world has been under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the pace of financial digitization. According to the perceived usefulness of the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the perceived seriousness of the health belief model (HBM), this study developed and explored the theoretical framework of consumers’ continuance usage intention toward e-payment. A questionnaire survey was conducted to explore this continuance usage intention among consumers who have used e-payment in Taiwan during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a total of 387 valid samples. The overall model was analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). The empirical results showed that the security, perceived seriousness, and perceived usefulness of e-payment significantly affect electronic word of mouth (eWOM), while the security and perceived seriousness of e-payment have a significant effect on continuance usage intention through perceived usefulness and eWOM. During the COVID-19 pandemic, e-payment providers should encourage consumers to use e-payment via eWOM, perceived usefulness, and consumers’ perceived health seriousness and should improve the use efficiency of e-payment through e-payment financial services, thus encouraging consumers’ continuance usage intention toward e-payment.
