Abstract

The emergence of artificial intelligence and its progressively wider impact on many sectors requires an assessment of its effect on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Artificial intelligence has been advancing rapidly in recent years, measured both in terms of the quantity of resources devoted to it and also in terms of its outputs. Artificial intelligence is increasingly reshaping businesses by performing various tasks, constituting a major source of innovation, yet threatening human jobs. The article reviews recent research in this area that suggests that AI and robotics have the potential to increase productivity and growth of agritourism, but may have mixed effects on labor, particularly in the short run. Using the positivism research philosophy, the study also sought to examine the insights, attitudes, and involvements of participants toward AI-driven marketing technologies in agritourism. Further, it assessed the socio-cultural, economic, and environmental influences of digital and social media marketing on African agritourism destinations. It also sought to ascertain paramount practices, challenges, and opportunities for leveraging AI technologies to stimulate sustainable agritourism development in Africa. The study considered current and potential policies around AI that could potentially help boost agritourism development while also mitigating any labor market downsides, including evaluating the pros and cons of AI on African agritourism development. The study finds that organizational factors, positive socio-cultural factors, economic factors, and environmental factors play a crucial role in the adoption of artificial intelligence by agritourism industries. Based on the study findings, the paper recommended that the fast adoption of AI needs to be supported by the necessary regulatory insight and oversight for AI-based technologies to enable agritourism sustainable development. Failure to do so could result in gaps in transparency, safety, and ethical standards. The findings also informed recommendations for further study and guided the discourse on implications for policy and practice, which other researchers, policymakers, and practitioners could potentially draw learning points from.

Abstract

This study examined a framework of strategies to mitigate the frequency and impact of Human Elephant Conflicts (HEC) in the Game Reserve areas of Zimbabwe. The research was conducted specifically in Malipati, a lowveld area of Zimbabwe. In explaining the study, researchers used the social ecological theory by Berkes and Folke, (1998). Researchers employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a cross-sectional survey. The target population were Zimparks personnel, community members, and local leaders. The study's population was estimated to be 142. This implied that according to the Krejcie and Morgan’s sample size determination the sample size became 105. The analysis of quantitative data was done using SPSS version 23 software whilst qualitative data was analysed using NVivo version 12. The research found that strategies that includes educational outreach programs, compensation schemes for property damage, fencing initiatives, and the use of deterrents like alarms and scarecrows may be used to mitigate the frequency and impact of Human-Elephant Conflicts in the Game Reserve areas of Zimbabwe. Study recommended that government ensure compensation schemes for victims of HEC that are fair and transparent.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the strategic implementation of recruitment and selection impacts organizational performance. 169 managers from profit-making organizations in Zambia participated in the research, and a quantitative approach was used to gather data.  The questionnaire had three parts: the first part gathered demographic data, the second part collected information about strategic human resource management (HRM) practices, and the third part obtained data on organizational performance. The study focused on a stratified random sample of 169 managers from various organizations. The results indicated that incentives and rewards were significant for achieving excellence, followed by recruitment and selection, and were followed by formal performance appraisal, which had a minor impact on career development. There is a notable correlation between strategic HRM components and organizational performance, including the revenue growth rate, return on equity, return on assets, and overall profitability (p < 0.01). The findings indicate that organizations should strategically align their activities to enhance performance, particularly recruitment, which has a direct impact on the organization's output. Furthermore, the research concludes that strategic human resource management (HRM) practices play a pivotal role in propelling organizational performance and should be harmonized with overarching business strategies and operations.

Abstract

In contrast to traditional bricks, the study investigated the propensity of microentrepreneurs to use and conduct business with eco-friendly building products. Through key informant interviews and focus groups, we investigated the inclination to choose eco-friendly materials. A total of one hundred microentrepreneurs were surveyed, and eight key interviews and four group discussions were conducted in the research region. However, the data revealed that only a small percentage of microentrepreneurs have a basic awareness of pollution and environmental issues. A sizable fraction of the MEs were unable to successfully adopt waste management. Additionally, the survey found that a minimal percentage of MEs use environmentally friendly production and marketing techniques. For the production of traditionally fired bricks, dirt was the main ingredient in all brick kilns, which used firewood as fuel. They were not skilled enough to use fly ash as a raw material to make bricks and other building supplies. Furthermore, the participation rate of women in these enterprises was incredibly low, and their remuneration was extremely inadequate. Businesses should place a high priority on fostering a positive work environment for women and enacting fair wage laws that increase the pay of female employees. A sizable fraction of the microentrepreneurs (MEs) did not follow proper safety procedures and lacked training. Therefore, microbusiness owners should organize safety- and security-focused training for themselves as well as for employees.

Abstract

Freshwater fish farming businesses face various obstacles, such as low knowledge and skills of fish farmers and limited access to the latest technology and information, which has an impact on productivity and crop quality. To overcome this problem, group institutional development training activities with a sociological approach are carried out to increase the capacity of fish farmers, strengthen coordination, and encourage the adoption of more efficient and sustainable farming practices. The method applied is participatory, by prioritizing collaboration between fish farmers and extension workers through discussions, technical training, and continuous assistance. The results of the activity showed that this training was effective in improving the technical skills of farmers, strengthening group coordination, and building collective awareness to adopt the latest innovations and technologies. Practically, this activity contributes to increasing the productivity and welfare of farmers, while theoretically, enriching the study of development sociology through the analysis of social interaction in the institution of farmer groups. Thus, strengthening institutional capacity and applying innovative technology is key to increasing the social and economic resilience of fish farmers sustainably.

Abstract

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC), one of the main UN bodies, is charged with promoting and upholding international peace and security. The UNSC is empowered by resolutions to deploy peacekeeping forces to any crisis zone to preserve international peace and security. However, these UN peacekeeping missions have encountered moral conundrums in the course of their work using the DRC as a case study, this research sought to investigate the ethical dilemmas faced by UNSC peacekeeping operations in complex African complexes. The main objective of the study was to critically examine the ethical and community dilemmas that the UNSC's peacekeeping missions in the DRC had to deal with. The study used the constitutive theory as the main theory that formed the hinge of the study. Qualitative data was gathered from the Military, Police, Civilian, Prisons and Correctional Services, and diplomats who were selected for their particular experience and proficiency in peacekeeping missions. NVIVO 11 was used to analyze the collected data, and the results yielded themes that the researcher then presented verbatim. In this regard, the study revealed that the UNSC peacekeeping force is confronted with several moral dilemmas, including social disintegration, human casualties, constitutional crises, and UN Charter violations that have resulted in ceaseless wars. Therefore, the study recommends that African nations make security-related investments if they want to protect their national sovereignty from outside influence, reliance, and meddling. African nations must also be self-sufficient and not overly reliant on other nations to solve their problems.

Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an essential aspect of business operations globally. Companies are increasingly expected to demonstrate their commitment to social and environmental causes, beyond their financial obligations. Despite the growing importance of CSR in the industry, there is a lack of understanding of the motivations driving CSR initiatives, and the implications of these initiatives for stakeholders. This systematic review aims to unpack the intentions behind CSR initiatives in the life assurance industry, exploring the economic, legal, ethical, philanthropic, and environmental motivations driving these initiatives. A systematic review of existing literature was conducted, searching major databases including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, resulting in the inclusion of 30 studies published between 2000 and 2020. The review reveals that CSR initiatives in the life assurance industry are driven by multiple intentions, including economic intentions such as improving financial performance and increasing competitiveness, legal intentions such as complying with regulatory requirements, ethical intentions such as promoting social justice and reducing inequality, philanthropic intentions such as giving back to society, and environmental intentions such as reducing carbon footprint and promoting sustainability. His systematic review of existing literature on CSR in the life assurance industry revealed that CSR initiatives were characterized by a range of intentions, including economic, legal, ethical, philanthropic, and environmental intentions. The findings suggested that companies engaged in CSR activities for multiple reasons, including improving their financial performance, complying with regulatory requirements, promoting social justice, giving back to society, and reducing their environmental impact. The study's findings had implications for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers. Policymakers could use these findings to develop regulations that encourage companies to engage in CSR activities that prioritize social and environmental benefits. Practitioners could use these findings to develop CSR strategies that balance financial gains with social and environmental benefits. Researchers could use these findings to develop new theories and frameworks that explain the complexities of CSR intentions.

Abstract

The introduction of local tourist destinations through Virtual Reality (VR) technology is an innovative solution to increase tourism attractiveness in the village of Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi, in the digital era. The background of this research is based on the low level of digital literacy and technology utilization among the community and tourism actors, as well as the lack of promotion of potential tourist destinations. The purpose of this service is to realize the application of VR to introduce local tourism more interactively and provide solutions to challenges such as accessibility and limited promotion. The implementation method includes the identification of tourism potential, preparation of educational materials, training in VR content creation, and virtual tour simulations. This activity involves local communities, tourism actors, and local governments. The training includes making 360° videos, using VR devices, and digital marketing strategies. Interim results show the enthusiasm of participants in utilizing VR, although there are obstacles such as limited basic technological knowledge and the busyness of the community. This service concludes that VR technology has great potential to increase the promotion of  Village tourism more attractively and sustainably. Continuous training support and collaboration with local communities are the keys to successful VR implementation. The outputs of this activity include publication articles, video documentation, and VR content of tourist destinations that can be used as effective promotional tools on digital platforms.
