Vol. 11 No. 3 (2026)

This issue brings together a multifaceted collection of empirical insights at the intersection of sustainable development, organizational psychology, financial resilience, and emerging technologies. Contributors evaluate micro-level economic and entrepreneurial imperatives, examining ethical entrepreneurship’s alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria alongside the macroeconomic drivers governing Shariah-compliant equity stability across Emerging Asia. At the organizational level, workplace dynamics are explored through the mitigating role of political skill and positivity on job alienation, as well as the power of recognition practices in driving employee retention within the hospitality industry. Finally, technological frontiers and competitive strategy are highlighted through studies on user trust and transparency framing in AI-powered research tools, alongside the catalytic role of technological innovation in securing sustainable competitive advantage among fast-moving consumer goods firms.
