    High-performance Human Resource and Knowledge Sharing: The Mediating Roles of Organizational Commitment and Organizational Citizenship Behavior

    Knowledge sharing has been shown to be beneficial for organizational development, but as a private behavior, it is not considered to occur spontaneously. To explore the antecedents of knowledge sharing, this study examines the influence of high-performance human resource on knowledge sharing behavior.

    Analysis and Optimization Plan of Supply Chain Management in Chinese Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Industry

    Supply chain management is the treatment of the entire production process of goods or services to maximize quality, delivery, customer experience, and profitability. Although the theoretical research on supply chain management in China's manufacturing industry has achieved certain results, how to properly utilize supply chain management in such a rapidly developing society is still an urgent issue. In addition, in China, electric vehicles have gradually replaced traditional fuel vehicles to gradually increase the market share and become the first choice of consumers to buy cars. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to explore the problems in the construction of supply chain management systems for Chinese electric vehicle enterprises through theoretical analysis, put forward suggestions for improvement, and choose Guangzhou Automobile Group as a case study. The difficulty of supply chain and supplier management caused by the multi-level supply chain, as well as the product problems of the enterprise, also exacerbate the exposure of its problems in supply chain management. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the management system to balance the customer's demand and the company's supply capacity, as well as to strengthen the logistics supervision system.

    The Impact of Federal Reserve Increasing Interest Rate on ETH Market

    On 16th March 2022, U.S. Federal Reserve increased the interest rate the first time, and in the whole year, U.S. Federal Reserve made seven increments on interest rate. As this will affect the value of dollar, many American financial assets were also affected by it, including ETH, one of the most famous cryptocurrencies. This paper uses the history data of ETH price from January 2018 to July 2023 and constructs ARIMA model without Federal Reserve increasing the interest rate to compare with the reality in order to comprehend how the increasing interest rate affected the price of ETH, and use the model to predict the trend of Ethereum’s price. With the influence of increasing interest rate, the price of Ethereum should decrease. However, after the U.S. Federal Reserve increased interest rate, the price of Ethereum went up for a while then dropped dramatically. And the reasons why this delay appears are the delay of policy and the first increment of interest rate is not attractive enough for investors to change their strategies. That can bring some inspirations to policymakers. They should acknowledge that there will be a delay in the market after the policy is released and they could give some potential signs or preferences on the new policy to reduce the shock to market. For investors, they could pay more attention on relevant policy and make use of the delay to make more money.

    With the increase in the elderly population, the advertising strategy of healthcare products for older people needs to be systematically analyzed and optimized. Through literature review, this study adopted the advertisements targeting the elderly of three famous Chinese health products brands as cases, analyzing the typical strategies of current advertising practices based on the expression of appeals including rational and perceptual appealing and advertising elements related to social power, then offering suggestions on needs, advertising content and media mix. The results showed that as the basis of perceptual appeal, rational appealing contained product information and health problems. Product information focused on communication at the core benefit level, while the description of health problems promoted purchasing behavior through negative reinforcement. Perceptual appeal mostly adopted the framing of family affection with the appeal objects were simultaneously the elderly and their children. Advertising elements were related to legitimate, reward, and referent power, corresponding to the use of uniform image, incentive enticement and upward social comparison related to the idealized self-image of the elderly. Recommendations involved broadening the appealing technique corresponding to alternative types and higher levels of needs, attempting heuristics including humor and celebrity endorsements, and considering social media-related touching points.

    The Impact of Executive Compensation Stickiness on Stock Price Crash Risk

    Executive compensation stickiness is a compensation characteristic that links executive pay to company performance, reflecting a tendency among compensation setters to provide generous rewards to executives and relatively fewer penalties. It can be considered an effective incentive mechanism. This paper empirically examines the impact of executive compensation stickiness on stock price crash risk using data from all A-share listed companies from 2010 to 2021. The empirical results show that executive compensation stickiness significantly mitigates stock price crash risk. Further research reveals that in companies with female CEOs, non-financial backgrounds among top executives, and low information opacity, the inhibitory effect of executive compensation stickiness on stock price crash risk is more pronounced. Mechanism tests suggest that executive compensation stickiness reduces agency costs and, thereby, suppresses stock price crash risk. This study extends the understanding of the economic consequences of executive compensation stickiness and factors influencing stock price crash risk, providing practical insights for designing compensation incentive systems for listed companies and maintaining the stability of capital markets.
