Este artigo objetiva discutir a questão de gênero e o fenômeno global sobre a crescente demanda pelo cuidado domiciliar sem remuneração e reconhecimento social, responsabilidade que recai principalmente sobre as mulheres no Brasil. Indaga-se: qual é o tempo que as mulheres dedicam ao cuidado e se fatores como escolaridade, raça, e renda interferem no tempo dedicado a este cuidado? Esta pesquisa adota uma revisão narrativa como abordagem metodológica, fundamentada na análise e interpretação de dados provenientes do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Os resultados mostram que as mulheres dedicam muitas horas diárias aos cuidados dos outros, em uma posição de subordinação, com papéis sociais distintos e hierarquizados, com responsabilidades domésticas e de cuidado, limitando sua participação no mercado de trabalho e perpetuando a desigualdade. A discussão teórica é realizada em perspectiva com os autores Birolli (2016), Bourdieu (2012), Buziquia et al (2019), Díaz Cueva (2025), Federici (2019), Gilligan (2003), Zoboli (2003), e os resultados reforçam que a desigualdade de gênero persiste de forma intrínseca em diversas esferas sociais.

Internal fraud such as cash theft and unauthorized use of raw materials has become a serious issue at a coffee shop in Surabaya, especially amid declining customer numbers and business income. This situation highlights the need for intervention to improve overall financial and operational management. This community service project aims to enhance transparency and accountability through transaction recording training, financial ethics education, implementation of a Point of Sale (POS) system, simple internal audits, and regular cash inspections. The method involved observation, interviews, document analysis, training sessions, and online mentoring conducted from February to March 2025. The results showed improved employee understanding of accurate record-keeping, a significant decrease in daily cash discrepancies, and the development of more responsible work habits. In conclusion, a structured financial and operational system can reduce the risk of fraud and support the long-term sustainability of the business.
Organizational investment in human resource development (HRD) has risen rapidly over the years. The rise in HRD investment is undoubtedly triggered by the belief that HRD is the key to strengthening personal and organizational performance. Yet despite heavy investment in this area, the outcomes achieved are often mixed with varied results. A key issue is the choice of HRD initiatives adopted and how they are implemented to achieve the desired HRD outcomes. Poor initiatives that do not realistically target HRD gaps, combined with poor implementation measures, are most likely to fail. Regular measurement of such is significant not only to determine the impact on key outcomes but is also essential to learn, accumulate evidence, and then use such evidence for improving HRD investment and/or policy. The study's main objective is to analyse the training and development activities in PNG Power Limited (PPL) from the lenses of management and employees. This research highlights management and employees' involvement in HRD initiatives which is paramount for organisational development. The study employed a mixed method of analysis and used surveys and interviews to collect data and information. The findings revealed that PPL has organised training programs to develop management skills of non-technical staff and competency-based training for technical employees. However, these training and development activities are perceived to be moderately effective regarding how management and employees are involved. This research concludes that the effectiveness of HRD initiatives through training and development activities is significantly determined by the degree of management and employee involvement. This study contributes to the knowledge of HRD in developing countries, particularly in the Pacific Region. It is hoped that this study will be helpful to improve specific areas requiring change identified in this study and may well serve as inspiration for organisational and policy change across other service organisations in PNG.
Artificial Intelligence has evolved as an alternative to human intelligence. It affects the lives of billions of people. It mimics humans by solving problems and understanding the task. These Artificial Intelligence technologies must have some moral values and ethics incorporated within itself. The usage of AI is growing worldwide, posing more ethical issues to consider. In recent years, many companies have used various Artificial Intelligence tools such as chatbots and face recognition software for fulfilling their hiring needs. This research work will focus on such devices that help manage one of the important functions of human resources: recruitment. It will identify various challenges and ethical issues that a firm faces while assimilating Artificial Intelligence tools in the process of Recruitment. The hiring companies need to make the job seekers realize that AI-powered tools would be free from discrimination and safeguard privacy. The purpose of the study is to identify the ethical issues while incorporating Artificial Intelligence into hiring needs. The study will be based on reviews and features of applications. The study mentions various applications whose features might be unethical for job seekers. Findings reveal that the significant unethical issues faced by the hiring companies are Data privacy and unconscious biasness. The biasness is due to the algorithm that works according to the inputs fed to build it, and the programmer might have subconscious biasness in his mind. AI has restored concerns regarding privacy and data protection. According to a report by UNESCO, Women make up only 22% of all AI professionals. Gender prejudices and stereotyping are perpetuated in AI technologies due to their underrepresentation in the sector. Virtual personal assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Cortana are ;female; by default, which is no accident. The submissiveness they display is an illustration of how Artificial Intelligence (AI) might continue to support and extend gender bias in our society.
Purpose: Based on the various streams of distance literature in management, a framework is provided to make discourses on distance clear.
Design / Method / Approach: After a review of the most relevant distance concepts, a typology with five categories is introduced, which are then applied to the most relevant distance concepts in management.
Findings: A clear typology helps to clearly define and differentiate the various streams of distance literature.
Theoretical implications: With the conceptual categories ‘topic’, ‘dimensionality’, and ‘level of analysis’, and the empirical categories ‘variables’ and ‘distance calculation’, distance concepts become more consistent.
Practical implications: With a terminology for the different aspects of distance, practitioners can focus more clearly on specific remedies to bridge distance.
Originality / Value: The paper offers a new typology of different elements of distance.
Research limitations / Future research: The introduced typology will aid in the discussion of distance in management.

The article summarizes the areas of research on the integration of digitalization of the economy and education with the areas of business leadership and national security. The main purpose of the study is to determine the contextual characteristics that accompany the development of digitalization of the economy and digitalization of education and their impact on business development and the formation of national security. Existing theoretical and empirical research demonstrates meaningful links between the digitalization of education and the economy, business leadership and national security. The analysis showed that scientific interest in studying the digitalization of education and the economy continues to grow at the present stage, while research on national security and business leadership is currently declining. Bibliometric analysis shows that the relationship between the digitalization of the economy and education with business leadership can be traced in functional areas. On the other hand, the impact of the digitalization of the economy and education on national security can be identified by structural components. One should note that the evolution of scientific research is characterized by the transition from the study of individual structural elements and the penetration of digital technologies into the economy to identify areas for efficiency through digital and information technology. The analysis results provide a scientific basis for further research on key determinants of the effectiveness of the implementation of digital technologies in the economy and education, as well as the study of national security.
The goal of the article is to determine the role played by observance of human rights in shaping the position of the European enterprise in the knowledge-based economy. It has been assumed that the condition most expected by an entrepreneur is to achieve a competitive advantage. The concept of observance of human rights in conducting business activities is connected with business ethics and the idea of corporate social responsibility, while economic well-being can be achieved in the conditions of a knowledge-based economy. One of the conditions for the survival and development of the employer conducting business activities in the knowledge-based economy is to effectively motivate employees to reveal their knowledge and use it in practice. Non-financial motivation may involve the feeling of identification with the employer.

We live in a world where we are experiencing an increasing number of environmental disasters, social injustice, corporate scandals, and questionable leadership ethics. The issue I would like to address in this article is how we, as educators and researchers, might respond to or engage proactively with these issues. One approach is encouraging our students to become more reflexive, and to become more reflexive ourselves as researchers. I believe that reflexivity is becoming an increasingly important resource in organization studies. Defined as questioning taken-for-granted assumptions, practices, policies, and so on, reflexivity offers a way of developing more critical and responsible approaches to our intellectual strategies and to practical activities within the academic and corporate world. I will begin by summarizing some of the criticisms of business school education and the challenges we face as researchers and go on to define and discuss how reflexivity can help us engage with these criticisms in a productive manner.
Customer-centricity – a concept, a trend or an absolute must-have in a modern consumer market? The answer may seem clear, and that no further profound reflections are required. However, it is impossible to specify unambiguously the criteria that should be met by an organization to be considered a customer-centric enterprise.
This doubt stimulated the analysis of the available sources in which numerous authors have taken up the topic of the customer and his strategic importance for supporting a wide range of businesses. I focus on five different business concepts that combine a qualitative approach to the customer. The article attempts to define the concept of customer-centricity, and I identify five different qualities that should be met by an organization so that it may call itself “customer-centric”.
The objective of the research is to enquire into possible lucrative ways of developing the “political unconscious” (Jameson, 1981) of the bottom of the capital hierarchy matrix for emerging markets (CHEMEM), a model postulated by the authors from the existing theories of Maslow's needs hierarchy (Maslow, 1943), Prahalad & Hart's BoP model (Prahalad & Hart, 2002), and Bourdieu's “forms of capital”(Bourdieu, 1986). We propound an innovative audience profiling of an emerging market such as India for social messaging through the narrative technique of “principle of minimal departure” (Ryan, 1980) as an alternative to the traditionally accepted canon of critical discourse in corporate social communications, targetted at the base of CHEMEM.

Spanish legal framework on death or end-of-life process is determined by the binding rules in each Self-Governing Community. A comparative analysis of the respective rules will allow us to check the internal coherence of the system and its adequacy to the guidelines provided by the Guide on the decision-making process regarding medical-treatment in end-of-life situations, approved in 2014 by the Council of Europe.
