Pandey, UjjwalKeywords: 'influencing investors investors banks commercial banks Nepal' Class number: 332.6 Abstract: Several studies on investors’ behavior have been conducted worldwide but very few studies have been carried out in developing economy like Nepal. Identification of factors affecting investors’ behavior is crucial for both commercial banks and shaping the economy of the country as well. The major objective of the study is to analyze the factors influencing investors’ behavior.
The reviews of literatures have shown relationship between various factors such as risk, self-image, recommendations, accounting information, market information, return etc. in both developing and developed countries. Based on the literature reviews, this study has proposed the conceptual framework indentifying market information, accounting information, bank’s image, perceived risk, advocate recommendation and expected return as the most important factors that determine the investors’ behavior in the context of Nepal.
The study is based on primary data. Primary survey questionnaire was conducted to assess the opinion of investors regarding the factors influencing investors’ behavior. For the study purpose 220 questionnaires was distributed to investors with the help of broker house and personal relations out of which 151 questionnaires were collected. For the sampling purpose, random sampling technique has been employed for the study. The Investors has been divided into three level; they are small investor, medium investor and large investor based on investment amount. The primary data was analyzed by using Percentage, mean and frequency distribution. Other statistical techniques such as Spearmen Correlation and chi- Square were also used for the analysis of primary data.
The study reveals that most of investors prefer to buy shares in primary market and most of them prefer to trade in both primary and secondary markets. The survey indicates that majority of Nepalese investors’ investment decisions on shares are based on anticipation of other individuals’ behavior. The tangible components such as capital gain and stock dividends and the intangible component like political and economic changes, level of risk and NEPSE trend are considered the top five most important factors for investment decisions as per the opinion of stock investors’. Likewise, stock investors prefer capital gain and stock dividends rather than the usual cash dividends and for long term investment purpose. Also, after the prior gain the investors become more risk seeking and are more inclined to investment in risky stocks for better return.
The recommendation put forward by this study is that investors should consults the brokers or agents to seek information and advice but their decision should not merely be based on agents advice rather the decision should be based on their careful investigation. Small investors’ participation in secondary market is very thin because they think that secondary market transactions are manipulated by few large investors. Therefore, regulating authorities are recommended to regulate corporate governance practices strictly to promote uninterrupted flow of information to investors. Stock prices in Nepal do not reflect efficient market information. Therefore, there is a need to establish information center that provides right information to investors’ for investment. Poor market intelligence and poor market performance are the two major factors that have caused loss in shares investment in Nepal. So the government should strengthen the information flow channel and discourage market monopoly.

There is far less research on the empirical side. All the empirical work investigating relationship between share price, bank specific and macroeconomic variables has focused developed economy. This study investigates the relationship between share price, bank specific and macroeconomic variables of selected Nepalese commercial banks. The stock price in the market is not static rather it changes every day. The most obvious factors that influence are demand and supply factors. The price of any commodity is affected by both micro-economic and macro-economic factors.
This study basically aimed at examines the empirical relationship between the stock prices, firm specific variables, and macroeconomic factors. The specific objectives of the study are: (a) to explore the effect of firm specific variables such as size measured by total assets, earning per share, and return on assets of the commercial banks on their stock prices, (b) to identify the effect of macroeconomic variables namely gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation on common stock prices of banks, (c) to investigate the most influencing factors to explain the prices of the stock of Nepalese commercial banks, (d) to provide the suggestions based on the research findings. This study is basically based on the analysis of secondary data. The data for firm specific variables including stock market data have been obtained from financial statements of the sample firms recorded in the database of Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) Limited and Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) provided in their respective websites. NEPSE and SEBON have maintained the record of firm specific financial data from the fiscal year 2002 to 2013 in their respective database in websites. The annual data series on macroeconomic variables such as inflation and interest rate have been obtained from websites of IMF. The data relating to GDP and inflation has been obtained from the fiscal year 2002 to 2013price. For analyzing the relationship, market share price is used as a dependent variable and SIZE, EPS, ROA, GDP, Inflation and MS is used as an independent variable. Besides, the study also used descriptive statistics to analyze the views of the financial executives, which mainly focus on the qualitative part of the major aspect of the market price share.
The result of the study showed that joint ventures have higher market share price than non-joint ventures. The major conclusion of this study is the firm specific variable like Size, EPS, ROA and macroeconomic variable gross domestic product, inflation and money supply has a dominant impact on the stock price determination in Nepalese enterprises. Size had positive and significant relationship in MPS of commercial banks. To sum up, the main implication of this study is that money supply is the predominant factor that determines the market share prices of commercial bank in Nepal. Other extraneous factors also caused market share price to fluctuate. Therefore, investors must look after all factors, which explicitly of implicitly affect market share price so that they can arrive at rational decision. Finally, Nepalese bankers and policy makers should also pay adequate attention to analyze the factors that make variation in the market share price of the commercial bank.Firm specific and macroeconomic determinants in stock price : evidence from Nepalese commercial bank [printed text] / Jyoti Malla, Author . - 2015 . - 78p. ; GRP/Thesis + 5/B.

Personal managementKeywords: 'personal management industrial management management banks banks and banking commercial banks nepal' Class number: 658.303 Abstract: People are one of the most important factors providing flexibility and adaptability to organizations. The impact of human resource management practices such as compensation practice, performance evaluation practice and promotion practice on employees’ job satisfaction, perceived performance, commitment, turnover intention and citizenship behavior cannot be overlooked because it has positive impact on the organization performance (Patterson et al., 1997). The new interest in human resources as a strategic level that can have economically significant effects on a firm’s bottom line, however, aims to shift the focus more towards value creation (Samuel and Chipunza, 2009).
In Nepalese context, the role of HR is more related to looking at the administrative functions relating to the personnel department, rather than looking at linking profits directly with people (Shakya, 2011). Human resource provides the impression of the organization, good or bad. Therefore, the challenge in Nepal is to see how organizations understand the value of their employee and ensure that they build a set of human resources that will increase efficiency, productivity and profitability (Adhikari and Gautam, 2011). Pay and benefits became competitive for competent employees; many organizations started emphasizing on performance. Training and development program were highly welcomed as means to develop employees’ skills and knowledge.
The major purpose of this study is toanalyze the effect of human resource management practices in the bank performance in case of Nepalese commercial bank. The specificobjectives of this study are; a) to analyze the human resources management practices in the Nepalese commercial banks b) to examine the impact of human resource management practices on return on assets (ROA) in Nepalese commercial banks c) to analyze the effect of human resource management practices on return on equity (ROE) in Nepalese commercial banks d) and to examine the effect of human resource management practices on employees’ satisfaction (ES) in Nepalese commercial banks.
This study has used primary and secondary sources of data to analyze the impact of human resources management practices on bank performance. The primary sources of data have been used to assess the opinion of respondents to examine present status and role of current human resource management practices in the banking performance. Secondary data have been collected from bank annual report and other reports from Nepal Rastra bank.
The finding of the study revealed that beta coefficient for employee’s satisfaction is positive with ROA which indicate that higher satisfaction in employees increases the ROA of the bank. The beta coefficient for recruitment and selection, and training and development is also positive. The result also revealed that beta coefficient is positive for performance appraisal system with ROA which indicate that fair and equitable performance evaluation system increases the return on assets of the bank. The beta coefficient for employees’ satisfaction is positive with return on equity (ROE). This indicates that higher employees’ satisfaction in the working environment increases the productivity and thus ROE. The beta coefficient for recruitment and selection, and training and development is also positive with return on equity (ROE). The findings also show that beta coefficient for recruitment and selection is positive with employee satisfaction indicating that fair and transparent recruitment and selection process in the organization increases the satisfaction level in employees. The beta coefficient for performance appraisal, salary and compensation is also found to be positively significant with employee’s satisfaction. This result reveals that standardized performance appraisal system in the organization and higher salary and compensations increases the employees’ satisfaction in the organization.
This study concludes that bank performance is positively affected by human resources management practices followed by banks. The bank performance variables such as return on assets and return on equity are positively affected by employees’ satisfaction, recruitment and selection, training and development, performance appraisal, salary and compensation system of the bank. This study also concludes that training and development programs are most important factors to satisfy employees in the organization followed by salary and compensation.Human resource management practices and bank performance :a case of commercial bank of Nepal [printed text] / Sahistha Swar, Author . - 2016 . - 68p. ; GRP/Thesis + 4/B.
