Humanitarian resilience is a critical aspect of disaster management and response, and understanding the underlying factors and the role of community engagement in enhancing resilience is paramount. This study investigates the multifaceted factors influencing humanitarian resilience among the youth population of the Gaza Strip, focusing on the variables of humanitarian aid funding, logistical support, and humanitarian personnel. Employing quantitative research methodology and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques, we explore the mediating role of community engagement in shaping the dependent variable of humanitarian resilience. In a sample of 429 youth residing in the Gaza Strip, our research assesses the direct impacts of funding humanitarian assistance, logistical support, and the presence of humanitarian personnel on the participants' resilience levels. Furthermore, we examine how community engagement mediates the relationship between these factors and the overall level of humanitarian resilience. This innovative approach aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricate dynamics in the context of humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip. The findings of this study hold significant implications for policymakers and humanitarian organizations operating in conflict-affected regions. By elucidating the mediating influence of community engagement, we shed light on potential strategies to enhance the resilience of individuals and communities in the face of adversity, ultimately contributing to the effectiveness of humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip and similar contexts worldwide.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2620-0104}, pages = {108-131} } @article{MTMT:35137053, title = {The Impact of “Neoliberal Culture” on Economic Development in the SEE Countries}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35137053}, author = {Delibasic, M. and Streimikis, J. and Grgurevic, N. and Yuriy, Bilan and Vasa, László}, doi = {10.14254/1800-5845/2024.21-1.17}, journal-iso = {MONTEN J ECON}, journal = {MONTENEGRIN JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS}, volume = {21}, unique-id = {35137053}, issn = {1800-5845}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1800-6698}, pages = {221-232} } @article{MTMT:35300226, title = {Determinants of SMEs' strategic entrepreneurial innovative digitalization: examining the mediation role of human capital}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35300226}, author = {Hossain, Md Billal and Rahman, Mujib Ur and Čater, Tomaž and Vasa, László}, doi = {10.1108/EJIM-02-2024-0176}, journal-iso = {EU J INNOV MANAG}, journal = {EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INNOVATION MANAGEMENT}, volume = {2024}, unique-id = {35300226}, issn = {1460-1060}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1758-7115}, pages = {1-28}, orcid-numbers = {Čater, Tomaž/0000-0003-1256-4471} } @article{MTMT:35297845, title = {Influencer-consumer fit and intention to co-create brand value: The serial mediation of influencer authenticity and attitude toward brand}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35297845}, author = {Hasan, Shermeen and Zahid, Hasan and Qayyum, Abdul and Akter, Tania and Vasa, László}, doi = {10.24294/jipd.v8i9.5276}, journal-iso = {J INFRASTRUCT POLICY DEV}, journal = {JOURNAL OF INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {35297845}, issn = {2572-7923}, abstract = {Social media influencer marketing has emerged as an essential marketing strategy in the online interactive environment. This study investigates the impact of influencer-consumer fit (ICF) on behavioral intentions; intention to co-create brand value (ICC) and purchase intention (PI), with the serial mediation of influencer authenticity (IA) and attitude toward brand (ATB). A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to followers of social media influencers in Pakistan. The data were collected from 421 female followers of social media influencers through survey and partial least squares—structural equation modeling was used for data analysis. The findings reveal that ICF impacts IA, while the latter impacts ATB. ATB in turn impacts behavioral intentions. The direct effects suggest that ICF impacts consumers’ PI but not the ICC. However, with the serial mediation of IA and ATB, the relationship becomes significant. The findings of this study may assist managers in building brand strategies to achieve excellence in a highly dynamic and competitive market by leveraging the power of influencer marketing.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2572-7931}, pages = {5276} } @article{MTMT:35195046, title = {Supply chain integration and supply chain performance: evidence from the textile industry}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35195046}, author = {Ikramuddin, Junejo and Md, Billal Hossain and Sidra, Abid and Qaiser, Rashid Janjua and Sarmad, Ejaz and Vasa, László}, doi = {10.35530/IT.075.04.2023110}, journal-iso = {IND TEXTILA}, journal = {INDUSTRIA TEXTILA}, volume = {75}, unique-id = {35195046}, issn = {1222-5347}, year = {2024}, pages = {396-404} } @article{MTMT:35173035, title = {Complex pattern of nexus between global mining consortiums and sustainability in the Middle East and North Africa region}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35173035}, author = {Tajmir Riahi, Hamed and Iranpour, Parisa and Nakonieczny, Joanna and Vasa, László}, doi = {10.1016/j.resourpol.2024.105256}, journal-iso = {RESOUR POL}, journal = {RESOURCES POLICY}, volume = {97}, unique-id = {35173035}, issn = {0301-4207}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1873-7641}, orcid-numbers = {Tajmir Riahi, Hamed/0000-0002-4611-6389; Nakonieczny, Joanna/0000-0002-5069-2514} } @article{MTMT:35172055, title = {The analysis of urbanization drivers in Kazakhstan: A regional assessment from 2010–2022}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35172055}, author = {Kenzhegulova, Gaukhar and Vasa, László and Bekturganova, Makpal and Amirova, Ainur and Bekbossinova, Assel}, doi = {10.24294/jipd.v8i8.6157}, journal-iso = {J INFRASTRUCT POLICY DEV}, journal = {JOURNAL OF INFRASTRUCTURE POLICY AND DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {8}, unique-id = {35172055}, issn = {2572-7923}, abstract = {Urbanization process affects global socio-economic development. Originally tied to modernization and industrialization, current urbanization policy is focused on productivity, economic activities, and environmental sustainability. This study examines impact of urbanization in various regions of Kazakhstan, focusing on environmental, social, labor, industrial, and economic indicators. The study aims to assess how different indicators influence urbanization trends in Kazakhstan, particularly regarding environmental emissions and pollution. It delves into regional development patterns and identifies key contributing factors. The research methodology is based on classical economic theories of urbanization and modern interpretations emphasizing sustainability and socio-economic impacts and includes two stages. Shannon entropy measures diversity and uncertainty in urbanization indicators, while cluster analysis identifies regional patterns. Data from 2010 to 2022 for 17 regions forms the basis of analysis. Regions are categorized into groups based on urbanization levels leaders, challenged, stable, and outliers. This classification reveals disparities in urban development and its impacts. Findings stress the importance of integrating environmental and social considerations into urban planning and policies. Targeted interventions based on regional characteristics and urbanization levels are recommended to enhance sustainability and socio-economic outcomes. Tailored urban policies accommodating specific regional needs are crucial. Effective management and policy-making demand a nuanced understanding of these impacts, emphasizing region-specific strategies over a uniform approach.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2572-7931}, pages = {6157} } @article{MTMT:35155109, title = {Role of land use, green energy, and water resources for food accessibility: Evidence from emerging economies in the lens of COP 28}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35155109}, author = {Amin, Waqas and Xie, Shouhong and Vasa, László and Mentel, Urszula}, doi = {10.1002/ldr.5244}, journal-iso = {LAND DEGRAD DEV}, journal = {LAND DEGRADATION & DEVELOPMENT}, volume = {2024}, unique-id = {35155109}, issn = {1085-3278}, abstract = {In the era of COP28, where most of the developed and developing economies concentrate more on the development of environmentally friendly energy resources to tackle the issue of climate change. Nevertheless, the literature lacks appropriate evidence regarding the influences of green energy and other resources on food security. This study analyses the influences of land use, green energy, and water resources on food accessibility in emerging economies, while also considering the important roles of natural resources, research and development (R&D) expenditure, and economic growth during 1980–2020. Due to non‐linear data dispersion, the novel moments quantile regression is employed. Results assert that land use has a positive significant influence on food accessibility in the presence of water resources and a weaker negative impact in the presence of natural resources. Natural and water resources are detrimental to food accessibility in the Emerging Seven (E7) countries. Furthermore, R&D expenditure and green energy positively (negatively), while economic growth negatively (positively) impacted food accessibility in the presence of natural resources (water resources). The results are robust and validate causal inferences that help develop appropriate policies for emerging economies concerning food accessibility or security. In this rapidly evolving era, most empirical studies consider environmental quality. Conversely, this study contributes to the literature by examining the factors influencing food accessibility, as this issue is of considerable importance because of the rapidly growing global population.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1099-145X}, orcid-numbers = {Xie, Shouhong/0009-0001-3459-4703; Mentel, Urszula/0000-0003-2060-8980} } @article{MTMT:35148684, title = {Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Method for FinTech Credit Scoring and Risk Management}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35148684}, author = {Roy, Jewel Kumar and Vasa, László}, doi = {10.4018/IJBAN.347504}, journal-iso = {INT J BUS ANAL}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS ANALYTICS}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {35148684}, issn = {2334-4547}, abstract = {The ever-changing landscape of financial technology has undergone significant changes owing to advancements in machine learning, artificial intelligence, blockchains, and digitalization.
