Abstract

Japan’s rapid digital transformation has given rise to an expanding platform-based labor force in major urban centers such as Tokyo and Osaka. This study investigates how regulatory frameworks in Japan are responding to the rise of platform labor, focusing on the legal ambiguity, social protection gaps, and labor rights associated with gig economy work. While digital platforms promote flexibility and convenience, they also raise concerns over worker precarity, income instability, and exclusion from formal social safety nets. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, this research analyzes recent legislative developments, policy debates, and case studies from delivery app workers, freelance digital content creators, and ride-hailing drivers. Findings suggest that while Japan has introduced partial regulatory measures, the country lacks a comprehensive legal framework to address the status of gig workers. The study contributes to ongoing debates on labor rights in the digital age and proposes future pathways for balancing innovation with inclusive labor protection.

Abstract

This study examines the mechanisms through which the Lao People’s Democratic Republic restricts freedom of expression and evaluates the effectiveness of international responses to such violations. Despite constitutional guarantees, the Lao government utilizes a range of legal and institutional tools including vague penal codes, media censorship, and digital surveillance, to silence dissent and suppress public discourse. The enforced disappearance of Sombath Somphone serves as a symbolic case of state repression and illustrates the broader chilling effect on civil society. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study analyzes secondary sources such as human rights reports, international legal instruments, and press freedom indexes. Content analysis was employed to synthesize findings into four key thematic areas: legal-media control, digital repression, enforced disappearance, and international inaction. Data from Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders provided quantitative indicators to support the qualitative insights. The results indicate that repression in Laos is structurally embedded and politically intentional, while international responses remain largely rhetorical and ineffective. The study highlights the limits of ASEAN’s human rights architecture and the enabling role of strategic alliances, particularly with China. Future research should explore regional patterns of digital authoritarianism and the role of transnational civil society in confronting impunity.

Abstract

In the research, the focus is on organizations that have transitioned towards digitization across Indonesia. Managing organizational resources is key to understanding the shift from bureaucracy to digital, with the leader's role crucial in optimizing organizational effectiveness. Human resource development emphasizes viewing individuals as assets. This study involves all employees of Public Body X as samples, using a purposive sampling approach. In the context of Indonesia's government digitization policy, institutions already have digital platforms to enhance transparency. The article highlights challenges such as resistance to change, especially within robust bureaucratic structures, underscoring the importance of leaders being flexible and responsive to change demands. Looking ahead, the article emphasizes the significance of leaders with a growth mindset to comprehend and develop their potential in the digital era. Transformation towards a more agile digital system requires innovative strategies and the willingness of organizational members to undergo comprehensive change. In conclusion, leaders understanding digital dynamics can drive organizational effectiveness and efficiency while addressing challenges in the digital era.

Abstract

This study adopts CiteSpace software to conduct a visualization analysis of artificial intelligence-enabled (AI-enabled) ideological and political educational literature obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 2018 to 2024. The results showed that the number of journal articles regarding AI-enabled ideological and political education exhibits a consistent upward trend. The main authors have not yet formed a scale effect and the degree of collaboration among them was limited. In addition, the research hotspots primarily focused on artificial intelligence-related technologies to improve ideological and political education scenarios and the reform paths of high-educational courses. The findings of this study suggest that future research should consider incorporating interdisciplinary collaboration, technological integration and innovation, and the construction of the curriculum system that contributes to AI-enabled ideological and political education.

Abstract

Teenage pregnancy remains a major public health and social development concern in the Philippines, with adolescent birth rates among the highest in Southeast Asia. In response, policymakers introduced the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill, which aims to institutionalize Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). However, the bill has sparked polarized responses from various stakeholders, revealing tensions between moral conservatism and rights-based public health advocacy. This study investigates how the bill is discursively framed in media and policy narratives and how such framings influence public perception and policy legitimacy. Adopting a qualitative design, it employs Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine 50 news articles and 200 social media posts, complemented by six semi-structured interviews with policymakers, youth advocates, and religious leaders. Findings reveal a clash between moral protectionist and public health frames, each claiming to safeguard youth but operating on distinct emotional and ideological logics. The legitimacy of the bill is further undermined by low institutional trust, especially in local governments and education agencies. Youth are often excluded from formal policy discourse but emerge as both vulnerable and active participants in digital spaces where misinformation also thrives. The study argues that successful sexuality education reform requires reframing efforts that align moral and health narratives, rebuild institutional credibility, and meaningfully integrate youth voices. Future research should explore hybrid communication strategies and youth-led policy design as tools for bridging ideological divides.

Abstract

Hustle culture the systemic glorification of overworking and continuous multi-tasking has rapidly emerged as a dominant socio-behavioral norm among Generation Z in the Philippines. Driven by hyper-connectivity, the proliferation of digital gig platforms, and persistent macroeconomic inflation, the younger demographic has increasingly internalized productivity as a measure of self-worth. This study examines the socio-economic drivers of hustle culture among Filipino Gen Z and analyzes its subsequent ramifications on mental well-being and labor market retention. Utilizing a qualitative-descriptive approach grounded in contemporary social-exchange and structural-functionalist theories, this paper reveals that while hustle culture is framed as a vehicle for upward mobility, it fundamentally operates as a structural survival mechanism. This mechanism induces chronic burnout, psycho-emotional exhaustion, and counter-movements such as “quiet quitting.” The study concludes with institutional recommendations for human resource management and public policy to foster sustainable workforce practices.

Abstract

The rapid shift to remote work and digital collaboration has left the consolidation of virtual leadership theories behind, so that the concept structure, research collaboration patterns, and direction of development of this field are still fragmented in various studies that run separately. Previous bibliometric research has only mapped publication trends or theme clusters separately, no one has yet combined the collaborative network of authors, institutions, and countries with theme mapping in one complete analysis, so it is difficult to see how contributors and research themes develop along with this gap is answered by this study by analyzing 688 Scopus indexed articles for the period 2015–2025 using Bibliophagy to analyze the performance of publications and VOSviewer to map collaboration networks as well as keyword co-occurrences. As a result, the number of publications jumped sharply from 12 articles in 2015 to 252 articles in 2025, and this field is divided into four main theme clusters: communication and remote work management; digital leadership, organizational innovation, and sustainable performance; digital leadership competencies and employee welfare; and digital transformation and artificial intelligence. The chronological mapping shows a clear shift from operational issues in virtual teams to strategic issues such as digital maturity, organizational culture, and innovation capabilities, indicating that virtual leadership is now a multidimensional strategic capability rather than merely a technology-assisted leadership practice. Further research is suggested using longitudinal and multilevel designs to examine how trust, psychological safety, and digital fatigue affect the effectiveness of virtual leadership across various cultural and sectoral contexts, and to integrate these bibliometric results with systematic reviews and meta-analyses to validate the structure of the identified themes.

Abstract

This paper endeavors to analyze the environmental impact caused by the Tigray War in northern Ethiopia between 2020 and 2026. The study specifically examines the effect of the war on deforestation, soil erosion, destruction of water resources, biodiversity loss, as well as the indirect impacts including biomass usage in siege environments. Besides, it also highlights some of the lacunas found in existing literature regarding this issue and the priorities for environmental recovery following the war. The method adopted is qualitative desk review of peer reviewed papers, institutional and governmental reports and NGO papers The literature review reveals that Tigray War has undone all the efforts made for the past several decades for environmental rehabilitation in the region. Deforestation, collapse of soil and water conservation works, serious land degradation, and disturbance of watersheds are among the negative impacts observed in the area. Also, through remote sensing data, significant loss of vegetation cover can be noted in the regions affected by war. Furthermore, the indirect environmental impacts like high biomass consumption in siege environments have also been observed. The study bases its findings in the global theories on war and the environment that include concepts such as ecocide and the war ecology theory. According to this study, the Tigray war created a serious socio-ecological crisis that negates all the environmental improvements that have been made over the past few decades, making a close link between environmental destruction and humanitarian/ livelihood crises. Based on the findings above, the recommendations are that ecosystem restoration be undertaken through reforestation, restoration of water and soil conservation infrastructure and environmental governance institutions. Further research is needed on the long-term effects of ecological recovery and post-conflict resilience of communities in Tigray.

Abstract

Previous studies have mainly investigated the influence of intercultural communication on consumer purchase behaviour based on the theory of planned behaviour within a single cultural setting. This study aims to investigate how intercultural communication influences the attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, and willingness to buy Japanese electric vehicles among the Chinese young generation. A purposive sampling method was employed to select students from various academic disciplines at six bachelor’s universities in Xuzhou city, China. A survey method was used to collect data, and a total of 398 university students were included in the analysis. The results showed that attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioural control positively influenced willingness to buy. Intercultural communication positively influenced attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, and willingness to buy, respectively. The current study extends the existing knowledge on how intercultural communication influenced the Chinese young generation’s willingness to buy Japanese electric vehicles and benefited the Japanese electric vehicle industry and key stakeholders in marketing.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of social media use on civic engagement and political awareness among young Filipinos in the digital era. Using a mixed-method approach combining survey data (n = 200) and in-depth interviews, the research analyzes the relationship between platform usage intensity, user motivation, and the level of youth participation in social and political activities. The findings reveal that the majority of Filipino youth use Facebook and TikTok for more than three hours per day, with entertainment (60%) as the primary motivation, followed by social information (25%) and political participation (15%). A moderate positive correlation (r ≈ 0.45, p < 0.01) is found between social media use and civic engagement, indicating that higher online activity is generally associated with increased social awareness and participation. TikTok is more effective in raising awareness of social issues, while Facebook facilitates coordination of offline civic actions such as community projects and volunteer activities. However, the persistence of slacktivism and low trust in political institutions remain significant barriers that prevent digital engagement from translating into concrete action. The study underscores the potential of social media as a tool for civic education and democratic participation while highlighting the need for programs that link digital engagement to real-world civic involvement. These findings provide both academic and practical insights into enhancing youth participation in the Philippines’ evolving digital democracy.
