Abstract

This study investigates the effect of foreign exchange reserves accumulation on macroeconomic stability proxied by inflation, unemployment, exports, and GDP for a sample of 49 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2009 to 2021 using a panel (longitudinal) fixed model. Findings from this study reveal that foreign exchange reserves have a significant negative effect on unemployment and inflation; however, it shows a significant positive effect on exports, while gross domestic product (GDP) shows no significant relationship with foreign exchange reserves. To improve the overall economy of the listed sub-Saharan countries, the paper, therefore, recommends that sub-Saharan African countries adopt a mixture of investment-friendly and unemployment reduction policies by reinvesting investible surplus into inflationary controllable and productivity-boosting policies that will stimulate economic growth rather than keeping this huge amount of resources redundant. The study adopted a qualitative research methodology where the study uses panel data, the data is secondary and is sourced from the World Bank Development Indicators.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate work culture and sharia views on night work, focusing on responsibility, ethics, and its impact. This research method uses a qualitative approach by conducting a literature review and analysis of relevant primary and secondary sources. The results show that modern work culture often encourages individuals to work at night, especially in the service, health, and hospitality industries. Nevertheless, the Sharia view emphasizes the importance of balance between work and worship, as well as maintaining physical and mental health. In this context, working nights can pose moral and social challenges that need to be carefully considered. The novelty of this research lies in merging the perspective of modern work culture with the view of sharia, which is rarely explored thoroughly. The results of this analysis provide a deeper understanding of individual responsibilities in undergoing night work, as well as provide ethical guidance relevant to the Islamic context. In conclusion, this research can provide valuable insights for individuals, organizations, and communities in understanding the implications of night work from the point of view of work culture and sharia

Abstract

This study explores the critical link between early childhood care education (ECCE) and national security. Early Childhood care education lays the foundation for future cognitive, social, and emotional development, which in turn, shapes a nation's human capital, social cohesion, and economic prosperity. A comprehensive review of existing literature and empirical data reveals that high-quality ECCE programs can mitigate risk factors associated with national insecurity, such as poverty, inequality, and social unrest. Conversely, inadequate ECCE can perpetuate cycles of disadvantage, undermining national stability and security. This study argues that investing in ECCE is a strategic imperative for national security, as it fosters a skilled and productive workforce, enhances social cohesion and community resilience, supports early intervention and prevention of social ills, promotes inclusive and equitable development and encourages a culture of peace, tolerance, and understanding. The study recommends that policymakers prioritize Early Childhood Care Education as a critical component of national security strategies, ensuring that all children have access to high-quality early childhood care and education.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing Human Resource Management (HRM) processes and its contribution to improving organizational efficiency and employee experience. As organizations navigate an increasingly dynamic job market, the integration of AI offers opportunities for achieving sustainable success while addressing the demands of flexibility and innovation. The research aims to identify effective strategies for AI adoption in HRM, focusing on three key dimensions: personalization of employee experiences, security and privacy assurance, and adaptability to continuous technological advancements. Theoretical framework: Grounded in a theoretical framework that highlights the intersection of technology and strategic HRM, the study builds on a comprehensive literature review of recent advancements in AI applications within HRM. Literature Review: The literature underscores the potential of AI to streamline recruitment, talent management, and employee engagement processes, creating a more responsive and efficient HR ecosystem. Methods: A qualitative research method was employed, involving in-depth analyses of case studies and current HRM practices where AI has been integrated. Data were collected from organizational reports, interviews with HR professionals, and academic publications. Results: The findings reveal that AI adoption fosters a strategic advantage by seamlessly integrating technology into various HRM functions, resulting in improved decision-making, enhanced productivity, and higher employee satisfaction. Specifically, AI-driven tools enable HR departments to provide personalized support to employees, anticipate workforce needs, and optimize resource allocation. Implications: The implications of this research emphasize the necessity for organizations to adopt a holistic strategy for AI integration. This strategy should include substantial investments in technology infrastructure, upskilling HR professionals, and fostering an organizational culture that embraces technological innovation. These measures are essential for achieving competitive advantage and enhancing employee experiences in an era dominated by digital transformation. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the strategic vision required to fully integrate AI into HRM. Unlike previous research that often considers AI as a supplementary tool, this study asserts that AI is a foundational component for future business competitiveness. By framing AI as an essential enabler of strategic HRM, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how technology can redefine organizational operations and create value.

Abstract

Objective: This research explores the existence of career women in Egypt from social, cultural, and economic perspectives. The study aims to understand the challenges and opportunities faced by women in the workforce, highlighting factors influencing their career progression. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework is grounded in gender equality concepts, social role theory, and the influence of patriarchal culture on women's workforce participation. Literature Review: The literature review encompasses previous studies on gender discrimination, work-family dynamics, and inclusive policies supporting career women, particularly in Middle Eastern countries. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews. The survey involved 300 women, while in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 participants selected based on their diverse employment sectors and social backgrounds. This approach provided a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced and opportunities available to career women in Egypt. Results: The results revealed that supportive workplace environments and family backing significantly enhance women's career advancement. Additionally, most participants emphasized the need for improved policies promoting gender equality in the workplace, including flexible work arrangements and access to professional training programs. Despite progress in women's participation across various sectors, barriers such as societal expectations, gender-based discrimination, and work-life balance challenges persist. Implications: The implications of this research underscore the importance of adopting gender-equality policies, cultural reforms, and empowering women through education and workforce training. This study provides a significant contribution to understanding the complexities surrounding women in Egypt’s workforce. Novelty: The novelty of this research lies in its integrated analysis of social, cultural, and economic factors, offering a holistic perspective on the experiences of career women in the country. It also highlights the need for a synergy between policy reforms and cultural shifts to create more inclusive work environments. In conclusion, while there has been progress in recognizing and supporting career women in Egypt, ongoing efforts are necessary to address existing gaps. These efforts should include progressive policies and cultural paradigm shifts to sustainably empower women and enhance their participation in the workforce.

Abstract

This research aims to explore and develop interactive and relevant Islamic religious learning methods for Generation Z in the digital era. Generation Z has unique characteristics, such as a high tendency towards technology, a practical and visual learning style, and the need to get information instantly. Given these needs, conventional learning approaches are considered less effective in attracting their interest in exploring Islam. This study uses a qualitative research method with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies related to digital learning methods and religious teaching. Participants in this study include students, Islamic teachers, and experts in the field of digital education. The results of the study show that technology-based interactive methods, such as learning apps, educational short videos, interactive quizzes, and discussions on social media platforms, can increase the interest and engagement of Generation Z in learning Islam. The use of digital media not only makes the learning process more interesting but also helps students understand religious concepts in a more applicable and relevant way to daily life. In addition, the application of gamification, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) in Islamic religious learning shows great potential to enhance immersive and contextual learning experiences. The implications of this study are the need for the integration of digital technology in the Islamic religious learning curriculum, as well as training for educators so that they can use interactive methods effectively. The novelty of this study lies in a holistic approach that combines digital interactive methods with religious learning, which has not been widely applied in the context of Islamic education. This research is expected to be a reference for educators and curriculum developers in creating Islamic religious learning strategies that are more adaptive, interactive, and able to answer the unique needs and characteristics of Generation Z.
