PROJECTS

  1. Determinants of Biodegradable Leather Adoption in Bangladesh’s Tannery Industry: A DOI-Based Study on Employee Perspectives and Sustainable Development

    Funded by: IRT, HSTU, Dinajpur-5200; FY: 2025-26; [Grant No. HSTU/IRT/5159] [Grants: BDT: 85,000]

    Position: Principal Investigator

    Description: The leather industry is a big part of the economy, but it also pollutes the environment. To meet global environmental standards and reach Sustainable Development Goal 12, which stresses Responsible Consumption and Production, we need to use more eco-friendly options like biodegradable leather. This study examines the key reasons behind the usage of biodegradable leather in Bangladesh's tannery industry, focusing on the perspectives of tannery workers. Using the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, this study will examine how employees' perceptions of various innovation traits, including environmental benefits, relative advantages, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability, influence their willingness to adopt sustainable practices. It will also examine the impact of government support (moderating variable), including policies, training, and incentives, on the relationship between the desire to adopt sustainable behaviors and the actual outcomes of doing so. Data will be collected from 300 respondents using a structured questionnaire and utilizing SPSS version 25 and AMOS version 24 to analyze quantitative data by employing a structured equation model (SEM). The results will give politicians, business leaders, and environmentalists useful information that will help them promote ecologically friendly leather production in Bangladesh.

  2. Green Consumption: Assessing the Impact of Eco-Friendly Products on Long-Term Sustainability and Customer Satisfaction

    Funded by: IRT, HSTU, Dinajpur-5200; FY: 2024-25; [Grant No. HSTU/IRT/4697] [Grants: BDT: 1,44,000]

    Position: Principal Investigator

    Description: The objective of the study is to examine the direct and indirect impacts of green products on both environmental sustainability and user satisfaction, with green consumption behavior serving as a mediating factor. Every division in Bangladesh will participate in data collection process. Data will be collected from 320 respondents and the structural equation model (SEM) will be applied. The data will be analyzed and the hypothesis tested using SPSS Version 25 and Smart PLS Version 4.0.1.0. The project will have a distinct conclusion based on the study's findings. The anticipated result is green product has both direct and indirect effect on both environmental sustainability and user satisfaction. Future study directions may include including various constructs and measures of manufacturers' perspectives on producing environmentally friendly products.

  3. The transmission medium of rumors, and how does it affect stockpiling and price hikes for consumer goods

    Funded by: IRT, HSTU, Dinajpur-5200; FY: 2023-24; [Grant No. HSTU/IRT/4298] [Grants: BDT: 1,10,000]

    Position: Co-Principal Investigator

    Description: The recent price spike in consumer goods in Bangladesh has hit the country's poor and middle class particularly hard. There could be a number of factors at play here, one of which is rumor. All around Bangladesh, prices have risen dramatically. The effects of commodity stockpiling and commodity prices vary depending on the circumstances. The research is progressing toward identifying the causes of price increases in situations where stockpiling is a concern. Stockpiling occurs when rumors spread, and rumors spread either through social media or WoM, or both. Primary and secondary sources are used in the analysis and 400 participants will be surveyed using a convenience sample method. The study will collect the necessary secondary data for the last 22 years (2001-2022) from worlddata.info, which has been online for the past 35 years. Multiple-choice and numeric rating scales will be included in the questionnaire's design. SPSS 25 and Amos 24 will be used to analyze the data. If information comes from a trustworthy source, the general public will have the clarity they need to trust it. The government can take preventative measures to curb speculation, hoarding, and price increases. Price stability that benefits the general public, the economy, and Bangladesh is an absolute necessity.
