Abstract

Remote accountants who work from any location with Internet access and leverage digital tools and cloud-based systems contribute to the value creation and sustainability of organizations. This study evaluated the role of remote accountants in advancing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and 10 (Reducing Inequality). A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 60 remote accountants in a Philippine fund service company, with descriptive correlational methods applied to identify patterns. The findings revealed active engagement among remote accountants in supporting sustainable practices, innovation, and inclusion although various organizational challenges persist. The study also disclosed the existence of significant relationship between the role of accountants in financial reporting and their contribution to advancing SDGs. However, it was found that there is no significant relationship between their role relative to financial reporting and the barriers to advancing SDGs. Similarly, no significant relationship was noted between their contribution to SDGs and barriers to advancing SDGs. This study proposes strategic recommendations to enhance investment accuracy, technology adoption, and workforce skills to address these challenges. Key initiatives include specialized training, resource optimization, technological upskilling, and the promotion of fair practices to strengthen inclusion and equality. Finally, the study affirmed the strategic role that remote accountants could assume in driving sustainability in financial services and pointed out investment and policy directions where improvements could be sought to optimize sustainability.

Abstract

This study used qualitative research to examine e-payment system readiness among microbusiness owners in Region III, Philippines. The primary purpose was to explore four key themes: digital literacy and skills, comparisons between cash and e-payment transactions, the downsides of e-payment, and awareness and capacity for e-payment systems. Data were collected through thematic coding of interviews with ten microbusiness owners. The results revealed that most respondents actively engage with digital technology, using mobile devices and computers daily. While internet access is generally available, reliance on mobile data can affect user experience. Findings indicate that cash transactions remain prevalent; however, there is a noticeable shift toward e-payments due to their convenience in bill payments and online shopping. Significant challenges were identified, including technical issues and unreliable internet connections that hinder smooth transactions. Older users and those with limited technological skills face difficulties in adopting such systems. The study concludes that although there is potential for greater adoption of e-payment systems, addressing infrastructure challenges and enhancing digital literacy—especially among older demographics—is crucial for facilitating a full transition. Targeted training initiatives and reliable technology are essential for improving e-payment readiness among microbusinesses in the region.

Abstract

Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) has evolved to align human resource practices with organizational objectives to enhance performance and create competitive advantages. This study reviews the application of SHRM in social enterprises (SEs) that balance social impact and financial sustainability. A systematic review methodology was used to identify and analyze various SHRM practices implemented in social enterprises, as well as to evaluate the challenges faced by the sector. This study explored the scientific literature by analyzing strategic HRM in social enterprises using bibliometrics. The researcher then conducted keywords on the Scopus database (Scopus.com). The analysis results showed that 261,499 articles were collected. The researcher used Program R to conduct the bibliometric analysis. SEs adopt innovative HR practices like value-based recruitment, tailored training programs, volunteer management, and adaptive performance evaluations to align employee values with organizational missions while promoting inclusivity and retention despite resource constraints. However, SE face challenges such as financial limitations, skill mismatches, high turnover, cultural diversity, and stakeholder pressures. To address these issues, SEs must innovate HR strategies that integrate sustainability and stakeholder expectations. This study highlights an increase in SHRM research within SEs driven by sustainability concerns and the complexity of workforce management. Through thematic analysis, two main clusters emerge: sustainable development and human-organization dimensions, illustrating the link between strategic HR decisions, employee engagement, and organizational outcomes. Despite growth, a decline in citation count suggests the need for better research accessibility, collaboration, and quality. This research emphasizes SHRM’s importance in supporting SEs’ dual missions and managing tensions between social and economic goals. Future research should explore cross-regional dynamics, technology integration, and stakeholder engagement to enhance SHRM’s practical and theoretical contributions and ensure SEs can better achieve sustainable social impact. This study employed a systematic review methodology, collecting data from the existing literature, and conducting thematic analysis to explore trends and gaps in SHRM practices for SEs.

Abstract

The Department of Science and Technology-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) has implemented a website to modernize public service delivery and promote accessibility to forest product-related technologies. However, the impact of this transformation on user satisfaction and service efficiency remains underexplored. This study used a quantitative approach to investigate the effects of a website on public service delivery. Specifically, this study aimed to (1) analyze the demographic profiles and usage patterns of website users, (2) identify challenges encountered in terms of service quality, accessibility, and user satisfaction, and (3) evaluate user perceptions of the website's role in technology acceptance and public service delivery. Data were collected through an online survey designed by the researcher and validated by field experts. The analysis employed statistical tools, including mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient (r), to evaluate the findings. The results revealed a predominantly female user base aged 25-44, with overall high satisfaction and positive usability and service quality feedback. While the challenges were minimal, older users and females reported slightly more issues than the other groups. The study concluded that enhancing key factors, such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, and behavioral intention, could further optimize user evaluations of the website. These findings informed the development of an action plan to improve website usability, accessibility and overall user experience, thereby strengthening public service delivery.

Abstract

Rural areas often face socioeconomic and environmental challenges, including limited economic opportunities and the degradation of natural resources, which necessitate sustainable development models. This study addresses this critical issue by examining the potential, impacts, and optimization of community-based Ecotourism for sustainable development in selected sites in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach and a multiple-case study method, the research revealed that community-based Ecotourism enhanced local economic welfare by diversifying income sources, creating job opportunities, and fostering entrepreneurial activities through ticket sales, guide services, and local product marketing. Further, it contributed to social welfare by empowering local communities, strengthening social cohesion, and supporting community-led initiatives such as interest-free loans and disaster relief programs. Environmental benefits were observed by consistently applying sustainable practices, including effective waste management and biodiversity conservation. Despite these gains, the study identified critical challenges: the need for improved infrastructure, enhanced governmental support, and ongoing capacity building for local stakeholders. Unlike previous studies, this research advances the literature by integrating economic, social, and environmental dimensions into a unified framework for sustainable Ecotourism, offering valuable implications for policymakers and practitioners in rural tourism development.

Abstract

Corporate sustainability is increasingly becoming a strategic priority in the food and beverage (F&B) industry, where businesses are under growing pressure to integrate responsible practices without compromising profitability. This study examines the relationship between corporate sustainability practices and employee engagement in Metro Manila's F&B sector. Specifically, this study’s objective aims to assess how sustainability initiatives influence the development of a sustainable culture by analyzing their impact on long-term company growth, organizational procedures, and employee personal behaviors. The research tests the hypothesis: Ho: There is no significant relationship between employee engagement and corporate sustainability practices. Using simple random sampling, data were collected from 385 employees across the industry. Employee engagement was assessed through six dimensions: quality of life, work, people, opportunities, rewards, and company practices. Sustainability practices were categorized into environmental, economic, and social pillars. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize findings, while Spearman’s Rank correlation determined the strength of the relationship. Results revealed high levels of both employee engagement and corporate sustainability practices. A significant moderate positive correlation was found, rejecting the null hypothesis and confirming that sustainability practices are meaningfully linked to employee engagement. These insights underscore the importance of embedding sustainability in business strategies, not only for environmental and social impact but also for enhancing employee motivation and retention. The study provides HR practitioners and decision-makers with a basis for developing targeted programs that align sustainability with workforce engagement, ultimately supporting sustainable growth in the F&B sector.

Abstract

The variables affecting acceptance of mobile banking services among small businesses in Nigeria are discussed in this research. Using a survey questionnaire to gather information from a sample of small-scale entrepreneurs in Nigeria, the study uses a mixed-methods research approach. The qualitative methodology was employed through the use of interviews. For small-scale entrepreneurs in Nigeria, the findings of the research reveal that age, education, income level, easy access and usefulness of mobile money service, security, low price of mobile money service, network availability, government backing, and financial knowledge are the factors influencing the use of mobile money service among small-scale entrepreneurs in Nigeria. While poor financial literacy, limited network availability in rural areas, restricted financial means, security and fraud, lack of mobile phone access, complexity of mobile money service, lack of trust, lack of understanding in the language used by mobile money services, cultural barriers, and inadequate knowledge about the use of mobile money services are the difficulties small-scale entrepreneurs face that affect their use of mobile money services Which is in support of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) that an individual's inclination to use a technology depends mostly on perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU). To encourage small-scale entrepreneurs in Nigeria to use mobile money services, the study suggests that mobile network operators, legislators, and other interested stakeholders should raise awareness and knowledge of them, enhance their perceived value and usability, and address security issues.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Sahaja Samrudha, a social enterprise based in Karnataka, in encouraging sustainable agriculture and community development through a mixed-methods approach involving a survey of 62 custodian farmers. While demographic data such as age, gender, and education were collected, the primary focus was on assessing the broader social and economic impacts of the enterprise. The outcomes highlight Sahaja Samrudha’s significant contributions to environmental sustainability, income enhancement, and the empowerment of marginalised groups, particularly women, through training and capacity-building initiatives. Despite these positive outcomes, the study identifies areas for development, notably in access to social services and education. Although the regional scope may limit broader applicability, the research provides valuable insights into the transformative potential of eco-social enterprises in advancing inclusive growth and sustainable development, emphasising the importance of supportive policies and resource allocation to amplify their impact across diverse contexts.

Abstract

Universities play a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurial skills to support students’ professional integration. However, in an increasingly complex and dehumanised socio-economic and political context, it is essential to evaluate whether higher education addresses the social dimension of entrepreneurship. This study explores the extent to which social entrepreneurial competencies are embedded in undergraduate curricula at the University of Valencia (Spain). A qualitative content analysis was conducted on 60 degrees verification reports, using proxy indicators to identify the presence of such competencies. Findings reveal a limited and uneven integration of social entrepreneurship skills, with significant variation across academic disciplines.
