Predicting Network linkages of banking system distress based on operational risks and behavioral finance components

The present research is aimed at prediction of network linkages of banking system distress based on operational risks and behavioral finance approach. Methodology of the present research is of survey descriptive, practical from the purpose standpoint. Notably, in order to reach this purpose, firstly, based on study and review of theoretical basics, research variables were introduced. Then, by making use of Krejcie and Morgan Table, 384 participants were selected, and upon distribution of questionnaire among the aforesaid, research data were collected. Furthermore, in order for analysis of data and estimation of research empirical models, the researcher used structural equation modeling (SEM) and Smart PLS software. Of note, findings of this research indicate that behavioral financial standpoints and operational risk have significant effects on prediction of banking network disorder. Furthermore, based on estimated beta coefficients, among behavioral financial elements, economic behavior, cognitive standpoint, judgment biases, heuristic behaviors, decision making biases and value and return of stocks have respectively the highest effect on banking disorder, and among operational risk elements, human resources risk, systemic risk, transaction risk, technology risk and fraudulent and deception risk have respectively the highest effect on banking disorder.
