Abstract

Strategic leadership is widely recognized as an important determinant of organizational effectiveness, yet the behavioral mechanisms through which it may influence employee performance remain insufficiently integrated within a single conceptual framework. This article addresses the following research question: How may innovative work behavior mediate the relationship between strategic leadership and employee performance, and under what organizational conditions is this relationship likely to be strengthened or constrained? The study employs a structured, literature-based approach to synthesize theoretical perspectives and scholarly research on strategic leadership, innovative work behavior, and individual work performance. The conceptual synthesis identifies innovative work behavior as a plausible mediating mechanism through which strategic priorities may be translated into employee contributions. Opportunity exploration, idea generation, idea championing, and idea implementation represent interconnected behaviors that may support task effectiveness, adaptability, and contextual performance. However, the potential benefits of innovation depend on several organizational conditions, including employee competence, work autonomy, resource availability, managerial support, and alignment between innovative initiatives and strategic objectives. The analysis therefore suggests that strategic leadership may contribute to employee performance not only through direction-setting and resource allocation but also through the creation of conditions that enable employees to develop and implement meaningful improvements. The academic contribution lies in integrating strategic leadership, innovative work behavior, and employee performance into a coherent conceptual framework while clarifying the conditional nature of the proposed mediating relationship. Because the study does not include primary data or a completed, documented systematic review, these findings represent a conceptual synthesis rather than statistically verified causal effects. The framework provides a foundation for future empirical research examining mediation, temporal relationships, and contextual differences across organizational settings.

Abstract

Public service innovation has become an important instrument for improving government performance, yet administrative efficiency alone does not necessarily generate citizen trust or satisfaction. This article examines how public service innovation influences these two outcomes in the institutional contexts of India and Bangladesh. It addresses three questions: how different forms of innovation shape citizens’ evaluations of public services; through what mechanisms innovation may strengthen or undermine trust and satisfaction; and under what institutional and social conditions its benefits are most likely to emerge. The study adopts an integrative literature review, synthesizing research on public sector innovation, digital government, service quality, institutional trust, and citizen participation. The review is informed by established theoretical perspectives and empirical studies relevant to South Asian public administration. The synthesis indicates that innovation is most likely to improve citizen satisfaction when it reduces administrative burdens, increases accessibility, improves responsiveness, and provides reliable services. Its relationship with institutional trust is more conditional, depending on perceived fairness, transparency, accountability, and the protection of personal information. Digital exclusion, inconsistent implementation, and technology-driven procedural complexity may weaken these benefits. The comparison between India and Bangladesh is used to identify contextual mechanisms rather than to claim statistically established national differences. The article contributes an integrated analytical framework linking service innovation to citizen satisfaction and institutional trust through service experience, procedural fairness, and perceived government responsiveness. It offers implications for public administrators seeking to move beyond efficiency-oriented reforms toward citizen-centred and institutionally credible service delivery.

Abstract

This study examines the factors associated with educated young people’s interest in farming as a career in Bangladesh and identifies barriers that may limit their participation in the agricultural sector. Cross-sectional questionnaire data were collected from 509 undergraduate and graduate students across several universities, using online questionnaires and some face-to-face interviews. The analysis combines descriptive statistics, SWOT analysis, binary logistic regression, and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Overall, 49.9% of respondents expressed interest in farming, while 78.8% reported an interest in entrepreneurship. However, only 27.1% reported agricultural knowledge, 26.5% had previous farming experience, and 22.0% considered themselves to have sufficient assets to start a farm. Logistic regression identified rural residence, entrepreneurial interest, previous farming experience, savings, start-up assets, household expenditure, and the number of dependents as statistically significant correlates of farming interest. Entrepreneurial interest had the largest positive association (odds ratio = 36.18), followed by sufficient start-up assets and rural residence. The four-component PLS model reported an R² of 0.407 and a predicted R² of approximately 0.366; the classification results showed 77.95% overall accuracy and an AUC of 0.855. These findings point to a gap between interest in farming and the knowledge, experience, and resources needed to enter the sector. Policy responses should strengthen practical agricultural training, access to finance, mentoring, and awareness of existing support programmes. Because the sample was based on convenience sampling, the findings should not be generalized to all educated youth in Bangladesh without caution.

Abstract

Selecting an appropriate project management methodology is a consequential governance decision in information technology (IT), where requirements, technical dependencies, stakeholder expectations, and regulatory obligations vary substantially. This article synthesizes literature comparing Agile and Waterfall approaches and develops a context-sensitive framework for methodology selection. A systematic literature review was reported using the source manuscript’s four-database search and screening record, with thematic synthesis organized around planning, requirements volatility, stakeholder participation, delivery cadence, documentation, risk, quality, scalability, and organizational readiness. The reviewed evidence indicates that Agile is particularly useful when uncertainty is high and value can be delivered incrementally, because short feedback cycles make assumptions visible and permit reprioritization. Waterfall remains useful when requirements and interfaces are sufficiently stable, sequential dependencies are consequential, and formal documentation or approval gates are necessary. Neither approach guarantees success: Agile can suffer from scope drift, weak documentation, meeting overhead, and dependence on experienced teams, whereas Waterfall can defer learning and make late changes costly. The central contribution is a contingency-based decision framework that links methodology choice to requirements stability, risk, compliance, stakeholder availability, technical uncertainty, and delivery constraints. Hybrid governance is treated not as an automatic compromise but as a deliberate configuration requiring explicit decision rights, integration practices, and quality controls. The review also identifies reporting limitations in the underlying evidence and recommends more transparent, longitudinal, and comparable empirical studies.

Abstract

Urban resilience is frequently discussed through infrastructure, municipal programmes, and formal institutions, while the everyday social arrangements that help residents manage uncertainty receive less systematic attention. This article examines how informal social infrastructure can strengthen collective agency while also reproducing exclusion in urban communities, using Makassar, Indonesia, as a contextual lens. It integrates scholarship on social capital, collective efficacy, urban informality, social infrastructure, and resilience through a structured literature review and critical conceptual synthesis. The review strategy combines international theoretical literature with studies concerning Makassar’s urban transformation, informal settlements, community networks, and social vulnerability. Rather than treating social ties as uniformly beneficial, the analysis distinguishes bonding, bridging, and linking relationships and considers how each can affect access to information, resources, collective decisions, and institutional recognition. Four mechanisms emerge from the synthesis: everyday mutual aid; informal brokerage and gatekeeping; spatial change and network disruption; and unequal voice in community decision-making. These mechanisms support a conceptual model in which informal social infrastructure produces differentiated outcomes according to network openness, accountability, and connections to formal institutions. The article contributes a critical account of urban social management by explaining why dense community ties may generate both resilience and social closure. It proposes an equity-oriented research agenda and practical principles for community programmes in Makassar, including inclusive representation, transparent resource allocation, protection of autonomous associations, and evaluation of who benefits and who remains unheard. The findings are a literature-based synthesis, not new field evidence, and the proposed relationships require empirical testing.

Abstract

Educational equity in digitally transforming societies cannot be reduced to the availability of devices, connectivity, or online learning platforms. In multilingual and institutionally constrained contexts, learners’ opportunities also depend on whether digital resources recognize their languages, whether teachers and students can critically engage with artificial intelligence (AI), and whether educational institutions can translate technology into inclusive pedagogical practice. This article reconceptualizes educational equity in Timor-Leste through an integrative synthesis of scholarship on language-in-education policy, digital inequality, AI literacy, and institutional capacity. It argues that access-oriented approaches overlook three connected conditions: linguistic usability, critical and ethical AI competence, and the organizational capabilities required for equitable implementation. Timor-Leste provides a significant case because its education system operates within a multilingual environment shaped by Tetum, Portuguese, and local languages. International scholarship on AI literacy and digital education informs the analysis. The article distinguishes nominal access from effective educational capability and identifies policy implications for curriculum design, teacher development, language-sensitive digital resources, governance, and evaluation. As a conceptual synthesis, it does not claim new field data or verified causal effects. It offers propositions and a research agenda for empirical testing in Timor-Leste and comparable multilingual education systems. It supports more inclusive education policy decisions.

Abstract

Digital transformation in industrial enterprises depends not only on technology adoption but also on the organizational capabilities, employee practices, and cultural conditions that enable technology to be used effectively. This article develops a conceptual monitoring framework for evaluating strategic digital organizational culture development. Drawing on established literature on organizational culture, digital transformation, strategic performance measurement, employee engagement, and organizational learning, the framework integrates five dimensions: digital competencies, employee engagement and change readiness, access to and usability of digital tools, knowledge sharing, and achievement of digital transformation objectives. The study uses a structured conceptual synthesis to connect strategic priorities, implementation mechanisms, measurable indicators, periodic review, and corrective action. It proposes an indicator matrix and a monitoring cycle that organizations can adapt to their context. The framework is not presented as an empirically validated instrument; rather, it provides a transparent design for subsequent piloting and validation at enterprise level. Its contribution lies in linking cultural development activities with observable indicators and a feedback process for managerial decision-making. The article concludes with implementation guidance and a research agenda focused on indicator validity, feasibility, and the relationship between cultural change and organizational outcomes.

Abstract

Financial crisis early warning systems (EWS) are being reshaped by artificial intelligence (AI), the growth of alternative data, and the increasing interconnection of financial and digital infrastructures. This article revisits AI-enabled EWS through a 2026 lens, moving beyond prediction accuracy to consider systemic risk transmission, cyber resilience, model governance, and the financial stability implications of AI adoption itself. An integrative literature review was conducted using foundational peer-reviewed research on machine learning and crisis prediction alongside recent institutional publications available in 2025–2026, including work from the Bank for International Settlements, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bank of England. The synthesis indicates that machine learning can improve the identification of nonlinear patterns and combine macrofinancial indicators with market-based and textual signals, but its value depends on rigorous validation, stable data pipelines, and decision processes that remain accountable to human authorities. The 2026 policy discussion also highlights a dual relationship: AI can strengthen surveillance and cyber defense while simultaneously amplifying correlated behaviour, concentration risk, third-party dependency, and the speed and scale of cyber incidents. Accordingly, an effective AI-based EWS should combine predictive models with interpretable outputs, scenario analysis, operational-resilience indicators, and clearly assigned intervention responsibilities. The article proposes a layered governance framework linking data and models, institution-level vulnerabilities, system-wide transmission channels, and policy response. It concludes that AI should be treated as decision support within a broader financial stability architecture, rather than as an autonomous substitute for supervisory judgment.

Abstract

Argentina’s expanding lithium industry exposes a constitutional tension between provincial control over natural resources, environmental protection, and Indigenous peoples’ rights. Although the National Constitution recognizes a healthy environment and Indigenous participation, implementation depends on fragmented regulatory institutions, access to environmental information, and timely remedies. This article examines how Argentina’s federal structure mediates conflicts among lithium development, Indigenous self-determination, and water protection. It employs doctrinal legal research and qualitative analysis of constitutional provisions, legislation, international instruments, judicial materials, and peer-reviewed scholarship. The article develops the concept of constitutional asymmetry in extractive governance: a mismatch between the formal recognition of rights and the institutional capacity required to make them effective. The analysis identifies four dimensions—normative, institutional, informational, and remedial—and explains how they may interact when mining permits, environmental assessments, consultation processes, and judicial review operate separately. It argues that provincial ownership does not displace constitutional and international obligations, and that project-by-project assessment may be inadequate where impacts accumulate across shared hydrological systems. The article proposes a rights-based framework linking cumulative water assessment, meaningful prior consultation, accessible environmental information, intergovernmental coordination, and effective review. It does not claim that all Argentine lithium projects violate rights; rather, it provides a framework for evaluating whether governance arrangements make constitutional guarantees practically enforceable. It concludes that the legitimacy of lithium development should be assessed through rights protection and accountability, not only economic benefits or formal compliance.

Abstract

India’s digital transformation has expanded opportunities for public expression, yet increased connectivity does not necessarily produce equal communicative participation. This article examines how vernacular language practices, platform visibility mechanisms, and historically embedded social inequalities interact to shape participation in India’s digital public sphere. Drawing on a critical integrative review of scholarship on digital publics, platform governance, multilingual communication, political messaging, and digital inequality, the article develops a framework that distinguishes connectivity, expressive capacity, visibility, credibility, and consequential participation. The analysis argues that digital inclusion is multidimensional: individuals may gain access to communication technologies while remaining disadvantaged in the ability to produce platform-compatible content, attract attention, establish credibility, or influence collective decisions. Vernacular communication can challenge linguistic hierarchies and strengthen local identities, but its democratic potential depends on platform design, unequal digital capabilities, and the social relationships through which messages circulate. Private messaging networks further complicate conventional accounts of the public sphere by combining interpersonal trust with limited public accountability. The article proposes the concept of communicative voice inequality to explain how expanded opportunities for expression can coexist with persistent inequalities in public influence. It concludes that equitable digital communication requires more than infrastructure and content moderation: it also demands multilingual design, transparent visibility governance, contextual media literacy, and stronger institutional accountability. The framework provides a basis for comparative research on digital participation in multilingual societies.
