Organizational inefficiency and ineffectiveness are often linked to identity crises within the organizational context. This systematic review seeks to enhance the comprehension of Organizational Culture (OC) as a crucial approach to addressing such crises. The study focusses on the measurements, perspectives, and orientations of OC, providing comprehensive analyses of recent research on the subject. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, rigorous screening criteria were applied to select articles from reputable databases, such as Science Direct, Elsevier, Taylor & Francis, JSTOR, Emerald, Springer, Wiley, SAGE, and Google Scholar. A total of 52 articles, meeting the defined selection criteria, underwent thorough review and analysis, yielding valuable insights. The findings emphasize the significant impact of OC on workplace dynamics, influencing employee interactions, treatment, and management. The dimensions most frequently explored within OC include innovation, teamwork, result orientation, masculinity, involvement, and power distance. This review delves into the existing literature on the creation and modification of OCs, utilizing three distinct perspectives: functional, leader-trait, and culture transfer. Cultural orientations are categorized into four main groups: workplace orientation, business orientation, system orientation, and group orientation. In conclusion, this study identifies limitations in current research and proposes potential future research directions, thereby contributing to the ongoing discourse on organizational culture and its implications for organizational effectiveness and efficiency.

The purpose of the study was to observe how Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) struggle to develop the sustainability reports that are today important and required by consumers. The rationale is that the sustainability report is influenced by governance practices, social responsibility, and environmental impact. The research successfully summarizes the barriers from 37 influential sustainability report papers by employing a thorough systematic literature review. It was based on 6 well-known databases with the limitation of exclusion criteria such as 11 years of research (2012–2023), used English, and more than 4 pages articles. According to the findings of this literature review approach, SMEs encounter six different sorts of barriers while trying to develop a sustainable report: financial, general attitude, knowledge and technology, organizational, policies and regulations as well as socio-environmental barriers. Based on this result, the top management of SMEs will be able to determine how to prioritize removing the biggest obstacles of their reporting task.

2024
This study addresses Bangladesh’s unemployment problem and its youth’s limited entrepreneurial aspiration focusing on critical factors that influence entrepreneurial intentions among university students in Bangladesh. Recognizing universities’ role in fostering entrepreneurship, the study aims to identify these determinants, bridging a gap in literature in the context of Bangladesh. Built upon an extended theory of planned behavior, the study incorporates ‘access to finance’ and ‘entrepreneurship program’ as mediators. This framework examines the relationships of ‘attitude’, ‘subjective norms’, ‘perceived behavioral control’, ‘entrepreneurship program’, ‘access to finance’, and their collective impact on entrepreneurial intentions. Utilizing stratified random sampling, the researchers collected data from 394 students across 23 selected Bangladeshi universities offering entrepreneurship programs encompassing Faculty of Business & Entrepreneurship and Faculty of Science & Engineering. The study employed Structural equation modeling (SEM) for analyzing the data. The findings revealed that there were positive relationships between ‘entrepreneurial intention’ and ‘attitude’, ‘subjective norms’, ‘perceived behavioral control’, ‘entrepreneurship program’, and ‘access to finance’. The findings have practical implications for Bangladesh’s government and educational institutes when it comes to promoting entrepreneurship programs extensively. The empirical results clearly demonstrate that the integration of access to finance and practical entrepreneurship programs significantly boosts the entrepreneurial aspirations of university students, encouraging them to pursue entrepreneurship as a career path. This, in turn, contributes to the advancement of economic sustainability in Bangladesh. These outcomes are consistent with the overarching aims of Sustainable Development Goal 8, which strives to foster continuous economic growth, generate employment prospects, and ensure decent work opportunities, particularly for the youth.

A long-term perspective on how technology will mature is needed whereby robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have accomplished a consequential and remarkable impact by finding their way into mainstream higher education. Robots have already become an indispensable factor in society and possess high potency as a part of educational technology. Social robot education is limited to complementing the digital aptitude of students in the world of information, and the role of social robots is crucial in polishing students ‘cognitive and social abilities. This study reviews the effectiveness of social robots in education, where we highlight the application of educational robots, surrounded by a blend of social robots and enactive didactics, which could lead to promising ideas for tutoring activities in education. It is empirically proven that social robots can assist with literature, science, or technology education. We synthesize the role of social robots in education and weigh their pros and cons by examining the impact of their appearance on robots’ performance as tutors, tools, or peers in learning exercises. The current study is the first bibliometric analysis that reflects robots’ impact in the education field as tutors and learning companions. A total of 288 articles were reviewed, and the data were extracted to construct an overview through bibliometrics. The outcome of this study paves the way for educational institutes to make informed and fruitful decisions on the applicability of robots, which can help them comprehend the learning styles of students and create knowledgeable and well-adjusted learners.

The major aim of the study is to examine the impact of Digital Collaboration (DC) and Analytics Capability (AC) on Supply Chain Resilience (SCRES). The study used data gathered from senior managers of the food processing industry in Jordan using a self-reported questionnaire designed and distributed to a purposive sample via email. A purposive sample consisted of 200 managers. To achieve the aim of the study, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used for analysis. Responses used in data analysis composed 71% of the distributed questionnaires. The study results supported the hypotheses that AC has positive significant effects on DC and visibility of the SCRES while DC shows significant effects on velocity and flexibility of the supply chain. The study contributes to the body of knowledge on Resource-based view (RBV) and Supply chain literature by emphasizing that the AC between companies is a key antecedent of DC as well as AC and DC are crucial prerequisites for organizations to improve their performance by supporting the resilience of their supply chains. In light of the study results, managers and decision-makers need to prioritize and invest in improving their AC and fostering DC due to their impact on SCRES, which is especially critical considering the increasing challenges that organizations are currently facing, the increasing state of uncertainty in the external environment, and the limited ability of organizations to predict their ability to obtain the resources and production inputs they need.In today’s dynamic and unpredictable business environment, the importance of supply chain resilience, analytics capability, and digital collaboration cannot be overstated. These elements serve as the backbone of organizations striving to thrive in an era marked by rapid technological advancements, global connectivity, and unforeseen disruptions, such as the recent global health crisis. Our article delves into the critical intersection of these three vital components and their profound impact on the sustainability and success of modern businesses. We seek to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of supply chain management. Our findings aim to benefit practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and the broader public by promoting more resilient, efficient, and sustainable supply chains. In doing so, we hope to inspire organizations to embrace the transformative potential of analytics capability and digital collaboration, ultimately strengthening supply chain resilience in an increasingly interconnected world.

Job burnout and quiet quitting in Vietnamese banking sector: the moderation effect of optimism
2024
While the connection between job burnout and quiet quitting is evident, the inhibitor underlying this relationship remains elusive. This research explores the moderating effect of optimism – a personal resource on the relationship between job burnout and quiet quitting. This study utilized a survey method of 405 Vietnamese employees working in 19 Vietnamese banks and analyzed data using PLS-SEM via Smart PLS 4.0. The results reveal that three dimensions of job burnout, namely personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout, positively impact quiet quitting. In addition, optimism negatively moderates the links between personal burnout and work-related burnout with quiet quitting. Unexpectedly, optimism does not moderate the linkage between client-related burnout and quiet quitting. These results offer practical implications for human resource practices within Vietnamese banks.

This study examined the impact of social media usage on students’ entrepreneurial intentions, making a novel contribution by extending the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Specifically, two additional variables were introduced into the TPB framework: social media and perceived risk. Employing the Generalized Structural Equation Modeling (GSEM) method, interview data were analysed from 362 students in two Vietnamese provinces, Thai Nguyen and Thanh Hoa. Results revealed that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control all positively influenced students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Second, perceived risk acted as a limiting factor on students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Third, social media exerted a positive influence on students’ entrepreneurial intentions through both direct and indirect channels. Notably, the relationship between social media and perceived behavioral control was influenced by students’ levels of experience. Specifically, experience enhanced this relationship most significantly among students with moderate experience, followed by those with high experience. In contrast, students’ low experience did not significantly affect the relationship between social media and perception.

Employee resilience is closely linked to well-being, happiness, and workplace performance. Many studies have suggested a connection between mindfulness and employee resilience. However, a notable distinction arises between Eastern spiritual mindfulness and Western scientific mindfulness, prompting an investigation into the specific elements of each perspective that contribute to supporting employee resilience. This study aims to clarify whether Eastern mindfulness, characterized by awareness and attention, or Western mindfulness, characterized by qualities like novelty seeking, novelty producing, and engagement, exerts a more apparent influence on enhancing employee resilience. Furthermore, it seeks to explore any correlation between Eastern spiritual mindfulness and Western scientific mindfulness. This research employs a mixed-method approach utilizing critical incident analysis to gain profound insights of mindfulness perspectives. Furthermore, it applies structural equation modeling to rigorously examine the relationship between mindfulness and employee resilience. The findings reveal a positive association between Eastern and Western mindfulness. Surprisingly, while Eastern mindfulness does not directly impact on employee resilience positively, Western mindfulness demonstrates a favorable effect on employee resilience. Moreover, Western mindfulness emerges as a mediator in the relationship between Eastern mindfulness and employee resilience. This study contributes to both theoretical and practical realm of knowledge. Additionally, it acknowledges its limitations and offers recommendations for future research.
