Impact of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Factors and Trust on User Satisfaction of m-health Application Users in Colombo District
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Gamage, P. T. T.; Kulasekara, G. R. S.
m-health, a technical progression of e-health, evolved with the rapid growth of digital healthcare platforms, healthcare-related mobile advancements, and the internet to serve its consumers in many ways. In developing countries, most consumers use mhealth apps simply to channel doctors, order medicine, and perform other basic tasks. So, this study aims to discover the factors that influence the user satisfaction of Sri Lankan m-health application users to provide a clear rationale to m-health service providers m-health users. While this research follows a deductive, cross-sectional survey strategy-based research methodology, primary data sources are used in this study. First, this study will identify three possible factors (Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, and Trust) that influence the User Satisfaction of m-health application users. Then the researcher collected responses from 316 respondents by sending an online questionnaire to a sample size of 384 potential respondents. The analyzed data of this study indicated that all measures employed to measure the independent and dependent variables (PEoU, PU, Trust, and User Satisfaction) are reliable and that there are significant positive relationships between all independent and dependent variables. This research will help m-health service providers understand client expectations by providing clear conclusions. It will help them maintain and attract more users. This also gives current m-health app users a rationale to negotiate with their service providers, allowing them to demand more. Instead, future researchers can use this study's knowledge base and limitations to conduct more research.
Enhancing Paddy Crop Quality through Object Detection Techniques
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Sandeepanie, N.; Rathnayake, S.; Gunasighe, A.
Rice is a crucial staple crop globally, providing over half of humanity's caloric intake. It supports the livelihoods of small-scale farmers and landless laborers worldwide. With the growing population, there is a high demand for rice production. Sri Lanka is renowned for its high-quality rice and has a long history of paddy cultivation. However, not all the country's 708,000 hectares of land dedicated to paddy cultivation are utilized due to water scarcity and unstable terrain. The objective of this project is to enhance the quality of the paddy crop during its vegetative phase by early identification of diseases through the utilization of emerging technologies. The vegetative phase constitutes a critical stage in the growth of paddy, exerting significant influence on the overall yield, resistance to pests and diseases, nutrient assimilation, and the environmental implications of agricultural practices. The primary emphasis of this project is to identify diseases to which paddy crops are susceptible during the vegetative phase and subsequently present a visual representation of their locations on a map, serving as the output for end-users. Early identification of paddy diseases is crucial for effective crop management and high yields. These diseases, caused by different pathogens, can significantly hinder plant growth and productivity if not detected and treated promptly. Identifying them early allows farmers and experts to take timely and targeted actions, like applying suitable fungicides or implementing cultural practices, to control their spread and minimize crop damage.

(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Gorden, T.; Jamahir, P. M.
Tagore's philosophy of education, rooted in humanism, creativity, and a deep appreciation for nature, continues to resonate in Sri Lanka's educational landscape and has had a significant impact on shaping its educational system. As Sri Lankan educators and policymakers encountered Tagore's ideas, they saw an opportunity to revolutionize their educational practices and adapt them to their unique socio-cultural context. This research paper explores the impact of Rabindranath Tagore's philosophy of education in Sri Lanka. Research Objectives were to examine the philosophy of education of Rabindranath Tagore and the impact of Rabindranath Tagore’s philosophy of education in Sri Lanka. Data for the research was collected from secondary sources and analyzed qualitatively. Secondary data directly address the impact of Rabindranath Tagore's philosophy on education in Sri Lanka. This data included scholarly articles, books, reports, and historical documents that discuss this specific subject. Content analysis is the primary research method used in this study. It systematically analyzes textual and documentary data to uncover themes, patterns, and trends related to Tagore's impact on Sri Lankan education. Historical methodology, analytical methodology, and descriptive methodology were used as research methodologies. Sri Lankans were drawn to Tagore's emphasis on holistic learning, freedom of thought, and the integration of arts and literature in education. Tagore's principles were integrated into the arts, literature, and music programs, enriching the cultural fabric of Sri Lankan education, and nurturing a sense of identity and pride in the nation's heritage. In conclusion, while Tagore's philosophy of education may not have had an immediate impact on the education system in Sri Lanka, his ideas have contributed to the development of a more holistic and creative approach to learning in the country.

Does Sustainable Responsible Investment Cause Better Portfolio Performance: Concept Paper
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Rathnayake, S.; Nanayakkara, K. G. M.
The aim of this paper is to examine the performance of portfolios that are constructed based on environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores. The financial industry's growing need for sustainable products indicates that interest in ESG and sustainable investing is set for the long haul. The subject has been debated for a while, and earlier research on the risk-adjusted return differential between conventional and sustainable funds has produced various findings. This study will be carried out in part because previous research has concentrated on capital markets that are bigger, mostly developed countries. There is a huge lack of research in the developing country context. The purpose of this study is to close the knowledge gap about how different fund types performed financially in a developing market. This study will select all developing countries in the South Asian region. According to the World Bank categorization, the following are the countries: Maldives, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan. Data will be collected using Bloomberg. Financial data collected will be analyzed using panel data regression analysis.

(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Pramod, J. A. T.; Weligamage, S. S.
Online education can be identified as a flexible education delivery system that can be applied to distance educational purposes, and this system creates an opportunity for teachers and students to reach each other when they cannot participate in traditional classrooms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of student engagement, student satisfaction, and perceived learning in an online learning environment. A deductive approach and quantitative designs were used, 306 samples were included, and data was collected via a self-administered questionnaire using convenience sampling. Course structure, learner interaction and instructor presence were used as independent variables, student engagement as mediating variables and improved student learning and student satisfaction as dependent variables in the study. Descriptive and demographic data analysis, reliability analysis, correlation and regression were used to analyze survey data. Findings revealed that course structure, learner interaction and instructor presence have a statistically significant impact on improved student learning and student satisfaction. The finding of the study has also shown that student engagement is a significant mediator between course structure, learner interaction, instructor presence, perceived learning, and student satisfaction. To ensure the effectiveness of the online learning system and student satisfaction, teachers should give much attention to course structure design, which enhances learner interaction and learning.
Nexus Between Sustainability Learning and Pro-Sustainable Behavior: A Case of Sri Lankan Employees with Professional Accounting Background [A Concept Paper]
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Perera, H. M. M.; Patabendige, S. S. J.
Sustainable development that balances economic, social, and environmental concerns is seen as a key requisite for the future survival of life on our planet, as we know, and there have been fervent calls in the past for global education systems to support knowledge, skills, and competencies that lead to such behavior. Yet, there is a paucity of research on how sustainability development objectives are incorporated into learning and whether such efforts have yielded the desired outcomes. In recent times, accounting professionals have been drummed up as sustainability champions in businesses where they are expected to not only focus on their traditional accounting duties but also create and link internal systems and processes to ensure that sustainability matters are measured and managed to support the business objectives of their firms. This study draws on Ajzen’s (1991) Theory of Planned Behavior to elucidate pro-sustainable behavior by identifying such behavior to depend on three dimensions i.e., personal attitude towards a particular behavior, normative beliefs, and motivation to comply, and their belief in the ability to control their performance. Moreover, the study expects such pro-sustainability behavior to be supported by complex knowledge and skills acquired through formal sustainability learning detailed through five competencies – system thinking, anticipatory thinking, value thinking, strategic thinking, and interpersonal competencies. In particular, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between competencies developed through sustainable learning initiatives and their subsequent influence on the pro-sustainable behaviors of accounting professionals covering all three sustainability components i.e., pro-environmental, pro-social, and pro-economic behaviors.
Impact of Implementing Talent Management Practices on Sustainable Employee Performance (With Special Reference to Executive-Level Employees in Selected Apparel Companies in Wathupitiwala Export Processing Zone – Sri Lanka)
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Peiris, J. M. P. M.; Senadheera, S. P. D. M.
In today's dynamic business environment, creating a pool of talented employees has been considered a source of competitive advantage, whereas talent management is the backbone of the human resource management (HRM) field. The present study aims to fill the existing research gap by examining the impact of implementing talent management practices on sustainable employee performance with special reference to executive-level employees in selected apparel companies in the Wathupitiwala export processing zone – Sri Lanka. There were very few studies conducted on this area theoretically and empirically. Thus, the researcher focused on filling this void by conducting this study to add knowledge in the areas of implementing talent management practices and sustainable employee performance. However, in the current context, there was a substantial influence of learning, development, and career management on sustainable employee performance. This study employed a crosssectional design and quantitative approach, and the study was conducted on a sample of 132 executive employees. The data was mainly analyzed using the analytical software SPSS version 26, which provided more meaning and validated results. The findings reveal that implementing talent management practices has a significant positive impact on sustainable employee performance. According to the study's findings, HR experts in the Sri Lankan apparel sector place a high value on talent retention to improve sustainable employee performance. This study might reflect the evolution of apparel companies and human resource strategists attempting to establish a talent management philosophy. Thus, the study's conclusion supported the idea that implementing talent management is beneficial as it fosters sustainable employee performance.
Managerial Mindfulness and Business Model Innovation as Antidotes to SMEs’ Survive and Growth: Conceptual Model and Scale Development
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Sachitra, V.
In the dynamic business environment, the notions of business model (BM) and business model innovation (BMI) have received considerable attention in industry and academia. Coupled with reduced consumer demand and supply restraints due to the rapid spread of the coronavirus, it is no surprise that many small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are experiencing challenging times. Under challenging and stressful conditions, mindfulness plays a prominent role. However, mindfulness is primarily observed as an individual’s psychological state, thus scholars have begun to study collective mindfulness, particularly focusing on managerial mindfulness. It is worthwhile to argue that BMI processes of SMEs can be supplementary facilitated by owners’/managers’ mindful behaviors. On these notes, backed by previous works, this study provides a first attempt to develop a hypothesized model connecting managerial mindfulness, BMI and SMEs survive and growth. Subsequently, in scale development process, an initial item pool was established, and face validity of the modified measures have been tested using expert judging method. A logical next step would be to collect data and test the scales for overall construct validity as well as provide a statistical view on how managerial mindful behaviors can drive to adopt BM tools to support SMEs survive and sustain continued growth.

(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Kumari, K. G. P.
The boardroom plays a crucial role within a company intending to bolster the performance of the company. Given its significance, many researchers have conducted several studies to investigate the impact of board structure on financial performance. Despite the extensive exploration of this relationship, there is no conclusive idea and there are incongruous findings relating to the topic of board structure and financial performance not only in the global context but also in the Sri Lankan context, especially for manufacturing companies. This study mainly focuses on the impact of board structure on financial performance in listed manufacturing companies in Sri Lanka with the intention of filling the research gap regarding the field of board structure on financial performance. The study relies on secondary data that was gathered from the period from 2016 to 2021. Thirty (30) listed manufacturing companies in the Colombo Stock Exchange were selected as the sample of the study using simple random sampling. In addition, regression analysis was used to analyze the data while employing board size, CEO duality, and independent non-executive directors as independent variables and financial performance as the dependent variable which was measured using Return on assets and return on equity The findings reveal that board size had a significant negative impact on financial performance in connection with the theory of agency. However, CEO duality and the number of independent non-executive directors reacted perfectly with the financial performance as confirmed by the resource dependency theory. Therefore, this study assists companies in customizing their board structure which suits their requirements and offers valuable insight for enhancing corporate governance practices in Sri Lanka.

(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Herath, H. M. B. I.; Razi, M. J. M.
The concept of demand articulation is acknowledged in the field of marketing science as a valuable tool for implementing industry-specific policies aimed at expediting the commercialization of emerging technologies. The objective of this study is to construct a conceptual framework for examining the relationship between social media adoption and performance in the tourist lodging industry in Sri Lanka, focusing on the demand articulation for digital marketing by small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs). The researcher conducted a thorough content analysis of the digital marketing behaviors on social media of SMMEs in the tourist lodging industry. The findings indicate the applied gap reflecting the scarce levels of digital marketing strategies in the realm of social media marketing (SMM), specifically in areas of video marketing, property management system (PMS) utilization, content updating, social media boosting and optimization, and overall liveliness. The researcher has considered the policy-related demand articulation on social media adoption by investigating the impact on the existing TOE model to construct a new framework to address the theoretical gap. The study mainly revealed that the new technology demand articulation leads to its adoption by the SMEs on demand-side innovation policies, sectoral policies, and challenge policies based on the literature review.

(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Athuraliyage, N. M.; Liyanage, C. J.
The apparel industry plays an important role in the Sri Lankan economy. However, based on the previous literature apparel factories continuously face many internal and external risks and business recessions that affect their performance. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to identify the impact between enterprises' risk management practices and a firm's financial performance. To achieve the said objective, researchers conducted a questionnaire-based survey of 167 managers involved in enterprise risk management in the apparel industry in Sri Lanka applying a simple random sampling method. This study is quantitative research that adopts ontological and positivist research philosophy. The Statistical analysis has been done through correlation coefficient analysis with the SPSS software. Results found that small apparel factories' risk management systems turned out to be relatively weak and informal. Further, firm size and management attitude toward risk have been shown to significantly impact enterprises’ risk management practices and company financial performance. The findings confirmed a strong positive correlation between risk management practices and financial performance in the Sri Lankan apparel sector.
Exploring Gender Bias in the Sri Lankan Maritime Industry
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Karunatilleke, A. W.; Herath, R. P.; Gunasekara, U. L. T. P.
A seafarer is someone who works on any type of marine vessel. The number of female seafarers is significantly lower than the number of male seafarers in the same ranks. To find the basis for the research, a pilot study has been conducted and it is discovered that there is a dilemma in men's perspectives on female participation in the field, further study is proposed to examine this dilemma and determine the reason why this exists among women's representation in the field. This study on Sri Lankan seafarers introduces for the first time an inquiry into the perceptions on the role of Sri Lankan women seafarers, this is a qualitative study with both male and female participants to determine perceptions of gender bias. The thematic analysis was utilized to analyses the data, which would be gathered after several interviews. The index is structured around two basic dimensions of bias, which are open bias and hidden bias. This concept paper would be the first index to capture the men’s perceptions of women in the context of the Sri Lankan maritime sector and offer a suitable approach and implications for future research would be discussed.
Pushed or Pulled? Motivation of Sri Lankans to Become Gig Workers
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Ramamoorthy, V.; Adikaram, A. S.
The gig economy is expanding with more workers joining digital labor platforms globally. Gig work has become popular in Sri Lanka as well, especially during the recent past. Since the gig economy is still a relatively new concept in Sri Lanka, the area is understudied. Hence, the objective of this research is to examine what motivates Sri Lankans to become gig workers. We use push-pull theory as the theoretical lens of the study. Based on qualitative research methodology under the interpretive research paradigm, 22 gig workers from various backgrounds were interviewed in person to identify their motives and experiences with web-based digital labor platforms. This study found four important reasons for Sri Lankans to choose gig work, 1) pursuit of passion 2) pursuit of money (earning in foreign currency, gaining financial independence and an additional source of income), 3) pursuit of agency and 4) pursuit of developmental opportunities. While the motivation for participants to join gig work was mainly identified as pull motivation, in some instances it was identified that the participants were also pushed to join gig work.
Work Culture and Employee Well-Being: Mediating Effect of Work-life Balance
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Peiris, D. P. M. S. M.; Wanigasekara, W. M. S. K.
Globally, firms’ top priorities now include improving workplace cultures and putting a strong emphasis on employee well-being. Previous research suggests that improving workplace cultures can impact employee well-being. However, less studies have been conducted on whether work-life balance (WLB) mediates the relationship between workplace culture (temporal flexibility, operational flexibility, and supervisor support) and employee well-being. Drawing on the importance, the study’s main objective was to investigate the mediating effects of WLB on the relationship between workplace culture and employee well-being. The study is a quantitative and survey method was used to collect data from middle-level employees at private banks, and the sample includes 130 employees of private banks in the Puttalam District. Linear regression was used to measure the direct effects of the hypothesized relationships. The Sobel test and Baron & Kenny mediation analysis were used to measure the indirect effects of the hypothesized relationship. The results show that WLB partially mediates the relationship between temporal flexibility, operational flexibility, and employees' well-being. While WLB fully mediates the relationship between supervisor support and employees' well-being. So, it is recommended for managers to build a culture in line with the WLB of employees, mainly by providing WLB policies that will ultimately enhance the general welfare.
Assessment of Local (Domestic) Preference Adaptability in the Public Procurement Process for the Health Sector in Sri Lanka to Promote Local Economic Growth: A Survey-based Study
(Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2023) Dinesh, K. L. S.; Liyanage, P.; Wijeyaratne, W. M. D.
In Sri Lanka (SL), public procurement guidelines should be followed by all public institutes, when procuring goods, works, or services. There are multiple guidelines relevant to be followed for this purpose to ensure the value for money of the public procurement process. The Ministry of Environment, Sri Lanka has passed a national policy on sustainable consumption and production for Sri Lanka and two sections are allocated for public procurement and Health. According to the policy document, the Ministry of Health should ensure sustainable consumption practices in the health sector to be transformed into green work settings by 2030. Adoption of those green and SPP public procurement would maximize the value of public money while minimizing damage to the environment and maximizing economic, and social benefits to the public health sector in Sri Lanka. The Local preference is applicable for public procurement in Sri Lanka, where applicable. The Domestic preference supports the capacity development of local businesses of the home country, while able retain the public money within the country as it allows preference for local bidders when evaluating bids. The level of adaptability of this concept in the health sector, in Sri Lanka is accessed in this paper based on the survey conducted.
