The current phase of globalization brings significant challenges to both private and public sectors globally, driven by rapid technological advancements and intense competition. In this context, the effectiveness of organizations depends crucially on the quality of their workforce and workplace practices. However, existing studies on job performance often overlook the pivotal roles of employee loyalty and training programs in fostering quality human resources. This study addresses this gap by examining how quality human resources practices influence job performance, with a focus on the mediating role of employee loyalty and the contribution of training and development programs. Using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and survey data from 175 individuals in Ghanaian public hospitals, our findings underscore the significant positive impact of both employee loyalty and training and development opportunities on job performance. Moreover, we reveal that employee loyalty fully mediates the relationship between quality human resources and job performance. Furthermore, our results indicate that the association between employee loyalty and job performance is moderated by the availability of training and development opportunities. These findings emphasize the importance of prioritizing training and development programs to enhance employee loyalty, thereby improving job performance.

The regulatory framework in the United Kingdom plays a vital role in promoting investor trust and transparency by mandating that enterprises disclose their social and environmental impacts. This makes the UK an appropriate setting for this study. This research examined how sustainable finance influences investor trust in the London Stock Exchange. The study employed purposive sampling along with specified inclusion and exclusion criteria to assess 17 years of data (2007–2023) from 334 non-financial institutions obtained from Thomson Reuters Eikon DataStream. To mitigate cross-sectional dependence and endogeneity concerns in the data, several estimation methods were used, including the Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG), fixed effects with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors, and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The findings revealed that corporate emission reduction policies, environmental expenditures, and green bond issuances had a positive and significant impact on investor trust. Additionally, the moderating effect of regulatory quality on emission reduction policies further enhanced investor trust. Based on these findings, companies are encouraged to strengthen their environmental practices by implementing robust emission reduction policies, increasing environmental investments, and issuing green bonds to support sustainable projects. These efforts should be clearly communicated to investors to highlight the company’s commitment to sustainability and corporate responsibility.
