Using a global panel of 176 countries from 2000 to 2024, this study demonstrates that stronger multidimensional employment security significantly promotes higher fertility rates, particularly in upper-middle- and high-income nations, thereby challenging the prevalence of one-child family formation by establishing labor market stability as a crucial economic foundation for reproductive decisions.
This study utilizes structural equation modeling on data from 200 respondents at Raya University to demonstrate that compensation, career development, and perceived organizational support significantly influence employee turnover intention in Ethiopian higher education institutions, both directly and indirectly through the mediating role of job satisfaction.
This study of 435 residents in Ghana's mining-affected communities reveals that while institutional trust and perceived environmental benefits significantly drive willingness to participate in illegal mining site restoration, financial contributions remain limited by income constraints and low trust, highlighting the need for governance strategies that integrate credibility with livelihood-sensitive compensation.
This socio-technical case study of Haier Smart Home demonstrates that sustainable organisational governance through digital transformation relies not merely on infrastructure adoption, but on the joint redesign of authority, resource allocation, and incentives via four interdependent mechanisms—dynamic strategic alignment, resource reconfiguration, user-value-based rewards, and platform governance—within specific boundary conditions.
This paper develops and empirically validates a spatial overlapping generations model to demonstrate that inter-regional knowledge spillovers and environmental externalities significantly shape European regional growth, revealing that human capital diffusion drives convergence while transboundary pollution hinders welfare, thereby supporting integrated policies that boost human capital and environmental quality.
Using novel survey data from Malawi, this study finds that while male-owned businesses earn 120% higher profits than female-owned ones, the gender gap is primarily driven by caregiving responsibilities and capital access, though gendered workplace hostility significantly and disproportionately reduces profits for female entrepreneurs.
Based on a panel study of 141 global tourism companies from 2011 to 2024, the paper concludes that while promoting workforce well-being correlates with higher stock prices due to investor expectations, it does not directly improve financial profitability, thereby refuting the "happy/productive workers" hypothesis.
This study of 74 French listed firms reveals a "Digital Reputation Gap" where companies selectively disclose routinized digital responsibility themes while under-reporting accountability-sensitive issues, a disparity that persists despite strong corporate governance mechanisms.
Using data from Chinese A-share listed firms (2010–2022), this study reveals that digital technology innovation asymmetrically impacts supply chain resilience by enhancing supplier relationship resilience through reduced switching costs while simultaneously undermining customer relationship resilience via a synergy efficiency trap.
This study investigates how China's country-of-origin image indirectly influences Uzbekistani consumers' smartphone purchase intentions through the mediating roles of product image and perceived value, offering strategic insights for Chinese brands entering the Central Asian market.
