The factors that influence the intention to use e-commerce in the context of components drawn from the intentional use model, theory of planned behavior, and technology acceptance model. The Scholar collected data from a field study in some regions of Telangana, India. For this purpose, a structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was performed using SMART PLS. Questionnaires were adopted from the final study, and a non-probabilistic qualitative sampling method was used to obtain information. This study ensured the usefulness of the data before conducting path analysis and bootstrapping. The results of this study show that the existing TPB constructs emerged as the primary determinants of the e-commerce intention of consumers in Telangana. However, ease of use and usefulness are not as important as the TAM model variables. The study recommends that e-commerce advocates create an environment that allows consumers to build trust, feel secure in transactions, and be exposed to informative campaigns promoting e-commerce. These initiatives will go a long way in addressing the key variables influencing consumer attitudes towards e-commerce and encouraging better usage behavior among consumers.

A strong, successful business has a strong pillar; there are Business Ethics and Corporate governance practices. These support the firm’s performance and sustainable development. The significance of business ethics and corporate governance practices increased from 1984. The purpose of the review analysis is to know the literature publication trend, top authors, source pages, institutions, and nation. Additionally, it will focus on keyword occurrence to understand the research gap in present and future research. In this study, metadata was collected from keyword usage with inclusion and exclusion criteria and a systematic literature approach for metadata identification. The current study utilised 602 Scopus metadata from 1984 to 2024 and Vos-viewer software for the bibliometric analysis. The Scopus metadata reviewed the top 15 authors, institutions, nations and funding sources. Finally, keyword occurrence was extracted to six clusters. It helps to identify individual cluster-based research gaps, study types with focused areas, and theoretical study recommendations. This bibliometric analysis recommends a strong foundation for the research gap from the Scopus metadata. It covers only selected keywords, the research subject area, and 1984 to 2024.

Translation validity is essential for ensuring the appropriateness and accuracy of survey instruments used in scholarly research across different cultural contexts. The present study aimed to validate a newly developed survey instrument designed to measure the financial behavioral practices and sustainable achievements of Self-Help Group (SHG) women entrepreneurs. For validation purposes, data were collected through a survey conducted among SHG women entrepreneurs in selected areas of Chittoor District using a convenience sampling technique. A total of 250 SHG women entrepreneurs participated in the study, and respondents were provided with the freedom to answer the questionnaire independently. The collected data were analyzed to assess the validity and reliability of the measurement instrument. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was performed using IBM SPSS, while Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted using IBM AMOS.The findings revealed that all measurement constructs and items satisfied the recommended validation criteria and achieved the acceptable threshold values for instrument validation. The results confirmed the adequacy, reliability, and validity of the developed survey instrument for measuring financial behavioral practices and sustainable achievements among SHG women entrepreneurs. Based on these findings, the study recommends the use of the validated instrument in future research related to SHG women entrepreneurship, financial behavior, and sustainable development.

Nowadays, Self-Help Group (SHG) women are adopting financial behavioral practices in their daily life, through the support of microcredit and financial transactions. These practices help them start and manage their businesses. Entrepreneurial activities also contribute to achieving sustainability. However, measuring sustainability achievements and financial behavioral practices is challenging because many SHG women are not able to read English and face difficulties in answering survey questionnaires. Therefore, there is a need to develop questionnaires in the Telugu language. The present study aims to assess the content validity of newly developed Telugu-language questionnaires related to SHG women entrepreneurs’ practices, financial behavioral practices, and sustainability achievements. A descriptive research approach was adopted to evaluate the measurement items. The content validity assessment was conducted with the help of selected experts, and the items were measured using a 7-point Likert scale. Data were collected through Google Forms and analyzed using MS Excel. The results show that all questionnaire items met the required threshold values for the respective constructs. The study concludes that the developed Telugu questionnaire is suitable for measuring SHG women entrepreneurs’ practices, financial behavioral practices, and sustainability achievements. The study recommends further validation through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to strengthen the reliability and validity of the measurement scale.
