<![CDATA[Addressing water challenges requires policies tailored to their governance context. The lack of such consideration is among the reasons why decentralisation, privatisation, and integrated water resources management have not achieved their intended outcomes. The Governance Assessment Tool (GAT) helps improve the effectiveness of water policies. GAT assesses how effective the implementation of water policies is and helps to develop policy recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the policy. As the purpose of this paper is to showcase the capabilities of GAT, we present its application in two different governance contexts (Iran and Mexico) to the European one where GAT was created. In our case selection, we focus on different challenges in water services (water supply and sanitation). In Iran, it is a single case study that assesses the groundwater policy, and in Mexico, it is a comparative case study of three sub-basins where the wastewater treatment plant policy is assessed. For each case, the results provide insights for improving policy effectiveness, such as the need for farmer participation in Iran and the need to enhance coordination by subnational governments in Mexico. These results showcase the GAT capability to assessing in-depth single case studies (Iran) and comparative analysis (Mexico). Moreover, GAT allows systematisation to navigate our understanding of complex challenges and provides a framework for academic and practitioners to understand the context and to propose tailored policies.]]>

<![CDATA[Increasing the minimum wage primarily aims to reduce poverty, combat social inequality, boost employee productivity and improve the overall economic condition. This research aimed to understand the impact of minimum wage policy on employee job satisfaction and productivity in the Philippine hospitality sector. Using a quantitative descriptive research approach, the data were gathered from the 43 minimum wage earners performing various roles in a select hotel and resort in the Philippines. These respondents are a subpopulation of the 77 total employees in the company who have experienced the wage increase in September 2024. Using a researcher-structured questionnaire, responses were collected through a combination of face-to-face onsite surveys and Google Forms. Statistical tests such as frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ANOVA were employed in the data analysis. The findings revealed that the minimum wage increases positively influenced employees’ job satisfaction and productivity with agreement across all areas. While the study confirmed the overall positive impact of the wage increase to the employees, most demographic factors were found not to affect their job satisfaction or productivity levels. Among demographic variables, educational attainment emerged as the only factor significantly influencing job satisfaction. Based on the findings, the researchers proposed a strategy roadmap to enhance the employees’ job satisfaction and productivity. This study can serve as reference for stakeholders in the hospitality sector, including human resource managers of hotels, resorts, and similar establishments who are seeking to improve employee satisfaction and drive overall productivity of the tourism industry.]]>

<![CDATA[The study explored the perceived influence of social media usage on job performance among civil servants in the Oyo State Secretariat, Ibadan, Nigeria. As social media increasingly permeates professional environments, its dual effects, positive and negative, have become subjects of interest. The research adopts a descriptive survey design, drawing a sample of 350 civil servants from 10 ministries, departments, and agencies within the Secretariat. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analysed through descriptive statistics and Pearson's Moment Correlation Coefficient. The findings revealed that the prevalent personal use of social media during work hours negatively influences job performance. Findings indicate that social media platforms, particularly WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, are widely used by civil servants for personal communication and, to a lesser extent, for professional purposes such as work-related discussions and information retrieval. The study highlighted a statistically significant negative correlation between the intensity and frequency of social media usage and job performance (r = -0.254, p < 0.05). While social media facilitates networking, real-time communication, and problem-solving, excessive use during productive hours leads to distractions and reduced efficiency. The study, therefore, concluded that social media usage needs structured guidelines and recommends policies to balance its benefits and drawbacks. Training and awareness initiatives are also advised to enhance their professional utility while minimising disruptions. This research offers critical insights for policymakers aiming to optimize workforce productivity in public sector settings.]]>

<![CDATA[This study analyzes the impact of the second-hand fashion trend on the sustainability of local fashion in Indonesia from environmental, economic, and regulatory perspectives. The research employs a qualitative approach using narrative analysis based on secondary data. The results indicate that although this trend increases awareness of sustainability and supports the development of circular economy, it also raises concerns regarding the local textile industry due to the widespread illegal import of used clothing. Regulations and existing laws have not been fully effective in curbing the influx of imported used clothing, which is influenced by low public awareness and limited supervision by legal authorities and relevant stakeholders. The study emphasizes the need for synergy among the government, industry, and society in managing the second-hand fashion trend to support economic and environmental sustainability in Indonesia.]]>

<![CDATA[This study addresses a critical gap in business education where traditional methods often fail to translate theoretical knowledge of sustainability into a deep, action-oriented commitment to environmental stewardship. The WEF Report on Jobs of the Future 2025 highlights the urgent need for a workforce equipped with green skills, yet business students frequently lack the practical tools to integrate environmental responsibility into their professional lives. This paper explores the Design Thinking framework as an innovative pedagogical tool to bridge this divide. Employing a qualitative action research design, we engaged a cohort of business students in a hands-on Design Thinking intervention. Data collected through observations, participant feedback, and prototype ideas generated by participants. The findings demonstrate that Design Thinking(DT) is a highly effective methodology for cultivating a tangible sense of stewardship and developing the critical skills demanded by the future economy. This empathy-driven process leads to changes in students' perceptions and attitudes, directly fostering the core competencies needed for green skills. The structured process empowered students to move from passive learning to proactive problem-solving, resulting in the development of creative and actionable prototypes for real-world environmental challenges. This research offers a practical model for business schools seeking to integrate sustainability more meaningfully into their curricula. While the study's scope is limited to a single group, it provides a strong foundation for future research into experiential learning methods that cultivate responsible business leaders.]]>
