The objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive framework for evaluating the interconnectivity of digital measurements that significantly contribute to energy sustainability in the European energy domain. Our research aims to clarify the challenges presented by the digital era and its influence on sustainable energy solutions. To achieve this, we employ the DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) approach and the MICMAC (Matrice d'Impacts Croisés-Multiplication Appliquée, à un Classement) methodology through a survey-based taxonomy of digital measurements. The resulting hierarchy and contextual linkages among critical measurements in Europe's energy domain shed light on ten key dimensions of digitalization for energy sustainability, including the “decision-making process” the “sustainable value chain,” the “sustainable supply chain,” “sustainable product life cycle,” and “interconnection of diverse equipment”. However, the “transformation of the energy market and ”smart manufacturing technologies“ play a significant role in energy sustainability. By prioritizing these dimensions, we aim to enhance convenience and effectiveness and diminish preservation in energy products. The practical implications of our framework can support institutions, experts, and academics in forecasting essential energy dimensions and complement ongoing research on digitalization and sustainable energy. Our research contributes novel insights into the analysis of digitalization dimensions within the European energy industry, leveraging a cohesive ISM (Interpretive Structural Modeling), MICMAC, and DEMATEL framework.

The organization uses traditional models, but a circular economy has emerged as an alternative to achieve the environmental sustainability goals. In the struggle against the depletion of global resources and environmental damage, frameworks for a circular economy have arisen as a significant issue for discussion and intervention. Scopus provides the data used to execute topic modeling in this research. For information modeling, we employ Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to extract the study topics in environmental sustainability from the corpus of 4488 research articles published between 2005 and 2023. Predicted research subjects for the circular economy, which requires further study in the future, include 2, 5, and 10 and are based on a bag of words identified by clustering techniques. The academic community needs more investigation of these tendencies for their long-term viability. The circular economy aims to reduce or eliminate waste. It's a system that creates lots of money for the economy yet doesn't harm the environment too much. Of the 17 research trends identified by the applied LDA techniques, 5 are the most explored by the researchers, while 4 have received the least attention.

This study aims to validate a model on the green entrepreneurial intention (GEI), attitude, subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and green entrepreneurial behavior (GEB) among students pursuing higher education in Delhi &NCR. This study also captures the mediating role of GEI between attitude, SN, PBC and GEB. About 327 samples were used for data analysis purposes using Smart-PLS. The result of the study suggests that attitude, SN and PBC have a significant positive relationship with GEB. Whereas, GEI as a mediator has no effect between attitude and GEB, while GEI as a mediator has a significant effect between SN, PBC and GEB. GEB among young professionals has been found a changing paradigm in the area of entrepreneurial practices in India. It has a significant impact on the sustainability aspects of society as well as the organization. Millennials get ignited toward such orientation which improved global environmental dynamics. The result of the study provides a significant source to the policymakers to promote GEBs among professionals. The article on GEB sheds light on the critical nexus between business and environmental sustainability. It explores how entrepreneurs, by integrating green practices into their ventures, not only drive economic growth but also mitigate environmental impact. This research is paramount in today's landscape, where global issues like climate change necessitate innovative, eco-conscious solutions. By delving into the motivations, challenges and outcomes of green entrepreneurship, the article offers valuable insights for policymakers, business leaders and society at large. Understanding and promoting GEB is crucial for fostering a more sustainable and responsible business environment. It's an imperative step toward a future where economic prosperity aligns harmoniously with environmental conservation, benefitting both present and future generations.

This article aims to analyze the importance of critical success factors in effectively implementing Six Sigma. It delves into the determination of key factors and attributes that contribute to successful adoption, considering that not all Six Sigma endeavors have achieved the desired outcomes. According to the research, a significant portion of corporate Six Sigma initiatives (approximately 60%) fail due to incorrect integration of vital factors and misguided assumptions. To conduct the study, a research survey incorporating a Likert scale questionnaire with a simple random sampling method was distributed among 2,325 potential participants, resulting in 573 responses, primarily from Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden.

The main objective of this research is to discuss the philosophical frameworks of how the risk approach to human resources management (RAHRM) may reduce the negative effects of non-compliance and unethical behaviour (NCWB). This enables us to conduct an applied study that may contribute to enhancing our knowledge about this possible relationship. The quantitative methodology is selected as a research design using a questionnaire as the main tool for data collection. The main findings are that there is a significant correlation between the cost of non-compliance and unethical behaviour within the researched organisation. Likewise, the outcomes assured that there was a significant effect for RAHRM on NCWBs and unethical behaviour of human resources (UBHRs). The practical side of this investigation will use a set of global indicators that have already been applied in several developed countries in the field of HRM.

Protean and boundaryless careers have emerged as new ways of handling careers in organizations. This concept is gaining a significant place in career studies. In line with this, the current study examines the relationship between the underlying dimensions of protean (self-direction and value-driven), boundaryless (boundaryless mindset (BM)) and mobility preference (MP) career attitudes and organizational commitment (OC) (affective, normative and continuance). Organizational commitment is important for all kinds of organizations. For data collection, 600 IT professionals employed in different organizations in the Delhi-NCR region of India were approached. Descriptive statistics, correlation and structural equation modeling (SEM) were utilized to validate the research outcomes and test hypotheses. Prior literature studies focusing on the effects of protean and boundaryless career attitudes on organizational commitment have not been much explored. The current study suggests that mobility preference has a significant contribution towards individuals’ continued commitment to the employing organization. Other variables assert an insignificant relationship with organizational commitment. These results demonstrate how decision-makers and managers should proceed to design a blueprint for the education of employees in conjunction with the underlying dimensions of protean, boundaryless and mobility preferences, career attitudes and organizational commitment (OC).
