Item Restricted The Impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Factors on Firm Financial Performance: An Empirical Study of Non-Financial Constituents of the S&P 500(University of Liverpool, 2024-09) Fallatah, Ahmed Zaki; Giorgioni, GianluigiAbstract This study empirically examines the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors on financial performance of non-financial firms listed on the S&P 500. It analyzes data for 425 firms over the period from 2010 to 2023. This research study apply panel data analysis using Generalized Least Squares (GLS) Regression and reveals a significant and positive relationship between overall ESG scores and Corporate financial performance metrics, Return on Equity, Return on Assets and Tobin's Q for current S&P 500 firms. For the firms that were removed from the index, while ESG scores significantly enhance Tobin's Q in terms of market evaluation and their impact on financial measurement is less pronounced. The analysis highlights that environmental scores influence financial outcomes across both current and dropped firms. Social scores positively affect financial performance in current firms but show limited impact for firms removed from the index. Governance scores appear to have a more nuanced impact, suggesting that good governance alone may not be enough to differentiate performance among firms. The study shows the importance of robust ESG practices, particularly in environmental and social pillars, for enhancing corporate financial success and market valuation. The firm’s market position and financial health may influence the relationship between ESG factors and immediate financial returns. The research shows that ESG investments can boost a market position of company and resilience and their direct impact on immediate financial returns can vary depending on the company’s financial health and market status. Therefore, this study reveals the complex relationship between ESG practices and financial performance. The findings provide useful valuable insights for business leaders, investors, and policymakers looking to align ESG practices with financial goals and foster sustainable, long-term growth.44 0Item Restricted The influence of financial technology (Fintech) on the financial performance of National Saudi Arabia and Bahrain Banking(Cardiff University, 2024-09) Adawi, Eman; Jahanshahloo, HosseinIn recent years, the world has witnessed the rise of Financial Technology, often known as FinTech. Globally, this is a much-debated matter within the financial sector, particularly throughout the banking industry. In recent years, this emerging phenomenon has attracted the interest of scholars and has been extensively investigated in prior research. This study examines various aspects of the impact of financial technology on banking performance in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The research aimed to explore the potential influence of financial technology (FinTech) on the operational effectiveness of banks in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The study employs a quantitative analysis of 17 banks from Saudia Arabia and Bahrain, which covers the period from 2017 to 2023. The findings of the study indicate that there was no statistically significant relationship found between the following FinTech tools: Banking messages (SMS), Internet banking (IB), Mobile applications (MMA), and Digital transfers (DT), and the metrics of Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Interest Margin (NIM) for each respective item. Although the primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of FinTech on crucial financial performance indicators, the findings indicate that the relationship may be complex and dependent on various factors such as regulatory environment, customer adoption, and technological infrastructure that should have been included in the focused analysis conducted in this research. Subsequent investigations should broaden the range of examination by incorporating these additional variables and dimensions through which FinTech could exert its influence.7 0Item Restricted THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ESG AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF UK FTSE 250 LISTED FIRMS.(University of Sussex, 2024-09) Alhuqayl, Nouf; Hawas, AmiraIn this dissertation, the relationship between the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in relation to the financial performance of FTSE 250 companies pre-and during COVID-19 was studied. Utilizing data from Bloomberg and to conduct regression panel models with fixed and random effects, a Hausman test was performed in order to choose the most effective model. The study reveals that ESG including its sub-dimension exhibit minimal influence on financial outcomes pre-pandemic with only slight improvements noted during the pandemic. The data corroborates the assertion that despite virtually no clear monetary advantages of ESG integration is seen at once, its contribution keeps increasing over time. The study emphasizes the complexities of ESG impacts and the need for companies to tailor their ESG strategy to specific operational and economic settings in order to maximize advantages. This study contributes to the nuanced understanding of ESG integration and encourages more research into its long-term effects in various businesses and regulatory situations.13 0Item Restricted THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ESG AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF UK FTSE 250 LISTED FIRMS.(University of Sussex, 2024-09) Alhuqayl, Nouf Khalid; Hawas, AmiraIn this dissertation, the relationship between the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles in relation to the financial performance of FTSE 250 companies pre-and during COVID-19 was studied.

Using matched employer-employee level data drawn from the 2011 UK Workplace and Employee Relations Survey, we reveal a complex relationship. Although there wasn't enough evidence to prove a positive link between PRP and employee motivation our findings indicate that motivated employees contribute to improved financial performance and labor productivity. Additionally, we found a significant correlation between PRP and organizational performance. These results emphasize the importance of well-designed PRP schemes that consider individual differences and needs. Also, the findings highlight the critical role that motivation plays in achieving organizational success.18 0
