ItemDeterminant Factors of Turnover Intention: A case study of Air Conditioning Company in Bangkok, ThailandThis study aims to help a Thai air conditioning company to understand the turnover intention of employees based on their perception towards the company.

Thus, turnover of these individuals incurred both replacement costs and a competitive loss. This research studied factors influencing employees’ turnover intention. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed in an Air Conditioning Company located in Bangkok. Census survey was adopted. The influences of perception, job satisfaction, and turnover intention were identified through structural equation modeling (AMOS).

ItemDeterminants of the stock market index in Pakistan - a case study of the Karachi Stock Exchange index (KSE 100) from 2000 to 2014This paper explores the causal links between nine fundamental variables and stock prices in Pakistan’s Karachi Stock Exchange index – KSE 100. It contributes significantly to the study of the stock exchange performance in Pakistan since the findings of prior studies were mostly divergent. Monthly data from January 2000 to April 2014 are used to analyze the impacts of the Industrial Production Index, the money supply, the Pak-US interest rate differential, the real effective exchange rate, the balance of trade, the expected inflation, the government debt to GDP, the inflow of portfolio investment, and the earning yield on the KSE 100 Index. Multiple regression analysis and Granger Causality tests under VAR are employed for this purpose. The findings of this study have identified the Pakistan-US interest rate differential, the real effective exchange rate, the balance of trade, the expected inflation, the government debt to GDP, and the earning yield as significant predictors of the stock index. The KSE 100 Index is found to be a leading indicator for the M2 money supply growth in Pakistan. The results of this study imply that policy makers play a crucial role in Pakistan’s stock market through the manipulation of fundamental variables.
