From Sensing to Transforming: An AI-Enabled Capability Framework for Circular Construction and Demolition Waste Management

Artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-enabled digital technologies are increasingly proposed as enablers of circularity in construction and demolition (C&D) waste management, yet existing reviews are organised around technology and lifecycle stage and rarely examine the organisatio...

Strategic human resource management and resource value attributes for sustainable manufacturing performance

Human capital is increasingly recognized as a strategic driver of sustainable industrial performance, yet empirical evidence on how valuable, rare, inimitable, and non-substitutable (VRIN) human-resource attributes translate into competitive advantage and sustainable performance...

Energy-efficient clustering and mobile sink routing in wireless sensor networks using quantum-inspired optimization and deep learning

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require energy-efficient clustering and adaptive routing to maintain reliable communication and prolong network lifetime under varying node density, initial energy, communication range, packet size, residual energy, routing distance, latency, and m...

Corporate ownership and the effectiveness of management accounting tools in enhancing ESG performance

This research explores how management accounting instruments, Balanced Scorecard (BSC), Benchmarking, and Environmental Management Accounting (EMA), affect ESG performance in publicly-traded food firms in Asia between 2019 and 2023. With panel data of 51 companies, and fixed effe...

Fostering employees’ pro-environmental behavior through environmentally specific servant leadership, harmonious environmental passion, and environmental locus of control

Environmental sustainability increasingly relies on employees’ pro-environmental behavior (PEB), especially through leadership style under distinct contexts. Drawing on Affective Events Theory (AET), this study tested whether harmonious environmental passion (HEP) mediated the re...

Influencer marketing and consumer engagement in shaping the relationship between pro-environmental behavior and sustainable consumption

To explore the relationship between pro-environmental behaviour and sustainable consumption and to assess the mediating effects of cognitive, emotional and behavioural engagement, as well as the moderating effect of influencer marketing, within the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O...

A closed-loop authentication-detection security framework for edge computing environments integrating trusted computing and distilled pre-trained language models

Edge computing environments hosting tens of thousands of nodes face concurrent threats including node spoofing, data tampering, and distributed denial-of-service attacks, yet existing security solutions address authentication, intrusion detection, and resource scheduling in isola...

From gamification to work performance: a two-wave, two-study examination of psychological needs and meaningful work of employees in China and Singapore

Purpose Organisations are increasingly adopting gamification as a strategy to enhance employee motivation, engagement, and performance. While prior research has primarily examined gamification as an organisational tool, this study shifts the focus to how employees experience gami...

Guns, governance and green futures in West Africa: empirical evidence from fixed effects and quantile models

This paper investigates the impact of institutions, militarisation, and economic growth on environmental pressures in West Africa between 1996 and 2024 with fixed effects and Driscoll-Kraay standard errors and methods-of-moments quantile regression. The study employs CO2 emission...

A systematic review of generative AI in higher education learning analytics and decision support

The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), particularly large language models (LLMs), has introduced transformative possibilities for learning analytics (LA) in higher education. Despite growing empirical work, no prior review appears to provide an integ...
