This research mainly focuses on examination of the digital marketing buyer’s perspective with reference to select e-commerce companies. The consumer behavior is always changing in nature which is evident from various studies that have been conducted in the field of marketing. The digital marketing provides the consumer with lot of information about product, price ranges, alternatives and substitutes and other core dimensions of the product. The main objective of this research is to determine the factors that are influencing the consumers and their perception towards buying the products that are marketed digitally. Dhaka is one of the developing cities to investigate the online buyer’s expectation level and their perceptions towards digital marketing. Semi structured interviews for qualitative data and e-commerce websites, magazines, digital marketing books, periodicals and Internet were approached for secondary data. The primary data were collected from 692 online buyers from 4 revenue divisions in Dhaka district through non-probability sampling technique. Structural equation modeling has been used in this research for the data analysis. It is found that the frequency of online purchases has been increasing among the buyer of Dhaka district, which is evident from the response of the consumers, involved in the study. The results stated that the e-commerce company Amazon is performing well in the study area as per the opinions of the consumers involved in study.

This experiment examined the influences of number of co-actors and audience size on manual dexterity task performance and subjective reactions such as perceived effort and arousal. Predictions derived from social impact theory and the self-attention perspective’s other-total ratio indicated that both number of co-actors and audience size should influence responses. Undergraduate students (N = 128) responded as 1, 2, 4, or 8 group members who were observed in counterbalanced fashion by 1, 2, 4, or 8 audience members for four performance trials. The predictions of increased task performance with larger audience sizes and decreased performance as number of co-actors increased were not supported. Participants’ rated arousal was somewhat consistent with the predictions from the self-attention perspective and social impact theory. Self-reported effort was consistent with the predicted patterns, but not always significantly so. The influence of number of others is moderated by the objective-subjective nature of responses of real co-actors performing in front of live audiences.

The level of research undertaken on the academic psychological contract, and its influence on academics’ behaviour is limited. This paper seeks to consider the academic psychological contract, by reviewing its manifestation within the role and the influence on their undertaking of the role. Particularly important is academics’ interpretation of the role and what they consider important. Within this, the paper considers in-role and extra-role activities and what may be the grey areas in which time is spent. The research adopts the combined usage of phenomenology with interpretivist processes to investigate the insights of eighteen academics at nine UK University Business Schools. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data to consider the constructs’ manifestation. Key aspects of behaviour were identified as discretionary effort autonomy and managerialism, with links to academic citizenship.
