The purpose of this study was to investigate underlying constructs that played roles in citizens’ decision to use e-government services. In this study, we discussed each construct and supporting literature that contributes to developing a conceptual model. This study developed a conceptual model that explains the relationship between these constructs and the behavioral intention to use e-government services. The developed conceptual model integrates constructs from the Technology Acceptance Model (perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness), the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (social influence), and trustworthiness (trust of government and trust of the Internet), with introducing the construct of perceived corruption. The proposition of the conceptual model provided a foundation to further empirical testing for the constructs that influence the adoption of e-government services. Key Words: E-government Adoption, Social Influence, Corruption, Citizen Trust, TAM, UTAUT.

This research examines the channels through which monetary policy variables affect macroeconomic variables in an emerging economy of the Republic of Tajikistan. The Granger Causality testing in VAR framework is employed to examine the effectiveness of transmission channels. Our empirical results revealed that the interest rate lacks the capability to influence aggregate demand and inflation. The dire consequences of low interest-elasticity of income are evident in the form of an ineffective monetary policy in Tajikistan. Monetary transmission does not trigger the growth cycles through real variables because the economy of Tajikistan is plagued with structural deficiencies including inefficient financial markets, lack of financially shrewd intermediaries; low capital formation and a high level of dollarization.

This study explores the moderating role of gender on job satisfaction and turnover intention, focusing on employees in the hospitality industry. Job satisfaction has become one of the most widely studied topics in research, mainly because of its importance to employees’ psychological condition, which in turn affects customer satisfaction and organizational effectiveness. Job related dissatisfaction can cause employee-turnover intention at the workplace. Hence, needful steps to reduce turnover intention are suggested based on results of the study, which will improve employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention. Previous research has consistently shown that job satisfaction is negatively associated with employee-turnover intention. However, little research has been conducted on the potential moderating effects of one or more socio-demographic variables on this relationship. The present study proposed to extend the findings of the previous research by exploring the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between job satisfaction and employee-turnover intention. Using individual employees in tourism and food industry as the unit of analysis, the conceptual framework can be used to analyse the moderate effect of the gender on the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention in the hospitality industry. Key Words: Turnover Intention, Job Satisfaction, Gender, Hospitality Industry.
