This study examined the effect of Citizenship Behaviour on Business Sustainability of Small and Medium Enterprises SMEs in Abuja, with Dynamic Capability as a moderating variable. The study focused on four dimensions of business sustainability: financial, environmental, social, and human sustainability. A survey research design was adopted, and data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to SME owners, managers, and employees in Abuja. Out of 300 copies of the questionnaire distributed, 175 valid responses were retrieved and used for analysis. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were employed to analyze the data and test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that Citizenship Behaviour has a positive and significant effect on the financial dimension of business sustainability. The study also found that Citizenship Behaviour significantly affects the environmental, social, and human dimensions of business sustainability among SMEs in Abuja. These findings suggest that voluntary employee support, cooperation, commitment, responsible resource use, and extra-role behaviour contribute meaningfully to the sustainability of SMEs. Furthermore, the study found that Dynamic Capability partially moderates the relationship between Citizenship Behaviour and Business Sustainability. Specifically, Dynamic Capability significantly moderated the financial, environmental, and social dimensions, but its moderating effect on the human dimension was not significant at the 5% level. The study concluded that Citizenship Behaviour is an important driver of business sustainability among SMEs in Abuja, while Dynamic Capability plays a partial moderating role. The study recommended that SME owners and managers should encourage citizenship behaviour, strengthen adaptive capabilities, promote employee involvement, and support sustainable business practices.

Namita Gokhale's fiction, spanning four decades from Paro: Dreams of Passion (1984) to Things to Leave Behind (2016), consistently returns to the condition of living between worlds: between English and vernacular idiom, metropolitan modernity and Himalayan tradition, inherited myth and lived experience, colonial history and postcolonial self-fashioning. This paper argues that Gokhale's oeuvre offers a sustained meditation on postcolonial identity as an experience of cultural hybridity rather than of clean rupture or return. Drawing on Homi Bhabha's theorisation of hybridity and the "third space," alongside feminist postcolonial criticism, the paper traces this hybridity across three registers in Gokhale's work: linguistic hybridity, most visible in the Hinglish idiom of Paro and Priya; mythic hybridity, in which ancient narrative is reworked to speak to contemporary anxieties in Shakuntala: The Play of Memory and The Book of Shadows; and historical hybridity, in which the colonial encounter itself becomes the ground on which identity is contested in Things to Leave Behind. Across these registers, Gokhale's women protagonists, Paro, Priya, Rachita, Shakuntala, and Tilottama, are shown to negotiate rather than resolve the contradictions of their inheritance, producing a model of postcolonial Indian identity that is plural, unfinished, and resistant to singular definition.

This study examines the relationship between public expenditure and infrastructural development in Nigeria, addressing a persistent methodological gap in the literature: the tendency to specify functional expenditure categories based on theoretical assumptions rather than formal statistical testing of their independent explanatory power. Since Nigeria's four functional expenditure categories administration (ADEX), economic services (ECEX), social and community services (SOEX), and transfers (TREX) are drawn from the same constrained budget envelope and tend to move together in response to common macro-fiscal shocks, models that retain all categories simultaneously risk multicollinearity, unstable coefficients, and inflated standard errors. To address this, the study applies a stepwise regression approach forward selection, backward elimination, and bidirectional stepwise procedures to 35 annual observations (1991–2025) obtained from the CBN, NBS, Budget Office of the Federation, and World Bank WDI, in order to identify which categories are genuinely significant, non-redundant predictors of the Infrastructure Development Index (IFDI). Forward selection and backward elimination independently converge on an identical three-variable model retaining ADEX, ECEX, and TREX, while excluding SOEX as statistically redundant, explaining approximately 97% of the variation in IFDI (Adjusted R² = 0.9684; F = 348.238, p = 0.0000). All three null hypotheses are rejected. While TREX's significant negative coefficient is consistent with a crowding-out mechanism, the positive ADEX and negative ECEX coefficients diverge from a priori expectations and prior Nigerian evidence, plausibly reflecting collinearity-induced suppression. The study concludes that expenditure composition, not merely volume, matters for infrastructural outcomes, and recommends further diagnostic testing before treating these provisional findings as policy-actionable.

The Unified Payments Interface (UPI), launched by India’s National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) in 2016, has fundamentally transformed the digital payment landscape, evolving from a disruptive innovation to essential financial infrastructure. This research examines how consumer trust dynamics have shifted in the post-UPI era, where UPI processes over 20 billion monthly transactions and accounts for 84% of India’s digital payments [1]. The study integrates Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) constructs with trust theory to develop a comprehensive framework for understanding consumer trust in mature digital payment ecosystems. Key findings reveal that trust determinants have evolved from brand-based considerations to infrastructure-level confidence, encompassing perceived security, data privacy architectures, regulatory oversight, and interoperability. The research identifies an “invisible trust” paradox where ubiquitous infrastructure becomes taken for granted, potentially creating new vulnerabilities. With UPI handling 50% of global real-time digital transactions and expanding internationally, understanding these trust dynamics is crucial for policymakers, platform designers, and financial institutions navigating the post-infrastructure phase of digital payments evolution.
