This study aims to explore the links between the efficiency of public sector e-services and sustainable competitive advantage. In line with the emerging approach, the instrumental case study design and the mixed research strategy were used as the most appropriate methodology to answer the general research question that was raised for this study. In this context, we present the positive experience that we have discovered via the Lithuanian case study. A unified model of evaluation of the e-services development system in the public sector was developed. The model explains the application of various e-services development systems methodologies and methods in the public sector and underpins the platform for the interaction of efficiency and sustainable competitive advantage processes. The model developed helps to make the assessment of e-services more effective and demonstrates a personalised outcome that can be applied by other public sector organisations. The paper discusses the efficiency trends in the development of e-services in the public sector in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goals, as well as distinguishes and highlights procedural steps that help to improve the development of e-services and sustainable competitive advantage.

This study focuses on the effect of multichannel marketing communication in retail pharmacies to establish customer satisfaction in a world experiencing the digitalization of health sectors. The objective of the study is to understand customer acquisition and retention practices, the role of online and offline integrated communication, and the extent of customer preference for various marketing communication channels. As part of the study, the quantitative analysis of the publications included in the review was made using articles and reports published from 2014 to 2024. The review was conducted on the aspects of marketing using multiple channels in retail pharmacy and the healthcare-associated fields. The studies identified that comprehensive communication channel enhancement policies positively affect the generation of revenues, reduction in costs, and information delivery schedules in pharmaceuticals. Depending on the channel, consumers’ needs and wants differ, and there is success in personalizing and presenting reasonably logical thoughts to people. Synchronicity of online and offline communication effectively increases the customers’ power, trust, and satisfaction. E-marketing has always been significant in enhancing customers’ touch points, which is why digital transformation is vital. This study further supports the fact that multichannel marketing is mandatory for the success of a retail pharmacy in the prevalent, highly competitive environment. The implementation also presupposes knowledge of consumer differences, the synergy of online and offline contacts, the emphasis on personalization, and fast adaptation to the changing technological environment, but often within the framework of severe legislation.

The purpose of this conceptual and explorative study is to document the advantages of health-promoting self-leadership practice. Professional certification programs are criticized due to a lack of practice among participants, involvement, and short duration. This study is based on self-leadership practices over several weeks of two executive MBA student classes from spring 2020 and 2021. A preliminary theoretical framework is developed suggesting that health-promoting self-leadership, which includes three orientations, has an impact on self-efficacy, mental fitness, and performance. Two different self-leadership classes with managers from the public and private sectors went through a self-development process as a semester project. The content analyses of 112 student reports unfolded students’ self-development processes and results identified in diaries, notes, tables, training schedules, and reflections. The findings, based on two different samples and aggregated data, support the theoretical framework. Moreover, the processes of self-development and self-leadership seem to be advantageous for almost all managers. The health-promoting self-leadership practice improved managers’ mental and physical fitness, energy balance, self-efficacy beliefs, and performance. These outcomes were achieved through physical activity, self-talk, meditative exercises, reward systems, visualizing, diet programs, and routines. The findings underscore the importance of self-development processes amongst managers, and that health-promoting self-leadership courses should last over several weeks.
这项概念性和探索性研究的目的是记录促进健康的自我领导实践的优势。专业认证项目因参与者缺乏实践、参与度不高和持续时间较短而饱受诟病。本研究基于 2020 年春季和 2021 年春季两个高管 MBA 学生班级数周的自我领导实践。研究建立了一个初步的理论框架，认为促进健康的自我领导（包括三个方向）对自我效能感、心理健康和绩效有影响。来自公共和私营部门的两个不同自我领导力班级的管理者将自我发展过程作为一个学期项目。通过对 112 份学生报告的内容分析，了解了学生的自我发展过程，以及在日记、笔记、表格、培训日程表和反思中发现的结果。基于两个不同样本和汇总数据的研究结果支持这一理论框架。此外，自我发展和自我领导的过程似乎对几乎所有管理人员都有利。促进健康的自我领导实践改善了管理人员的身心健康、能量平衡、自我效能信念和工作表现。这些成果是通过体育锻炼、自我对话、冥想练习、奖励制度、视觉化、饮食计划和例行活动实现的。研究结果强调了管理人员自我发展过程的重要性，以及促进健康的自我领导课程应持续数周。

This study provides the first comprehensive examination of gender quota legislation for executive management positions, executive gender quotas (EGQs), in Icelandic listed companies, alongside the general public’s attitudes toward such measures. Iceland has been a global leader in gender equality, according to the World Economic Forum, for 15 years, yet progress in achieving gender balance in executive positions remains limited. This research aims to explore how board members in all listed companies in Iceland view EGQ legislation and assess the level of public support for such legislation. Despite the implementation of gender quota legislation for corporate boards, board gender quotas (BGQs), in 2010 aimed at promoting gender balance, significant gender disparities persist at the executive management level. This study reveals distinct attitudes toward EGQs, with men predominantly opposing such legislation and women showing more support, particularly when progress toward gender balance is seen as inadequate. The findings underscore the importance of ongoing dialogue and potential legislative actions to address persistent gender inequalities in leadership positions. This research marks a novel contribution to the discourse on gender quotas in corporate governance, highlighting the need for systemic changes to achieve genuine gender parity in executive management teams. This study presents the first findings on the views of board members and the public on gender quota legislation in executive management positions to close the gender gap in economic participation.

Ambidextrous innovation is considered to be a key framework for innovation that offers organizations the ability to maintain their current level of competitiveness and develop and sustain a long-term competitive advantage. However, the implementation of ambidextrous innovation is constrained by an organization’s culture. Thus, the aim and objective of the present research are to explore the literature deeply and attempt to understand both organizational culture and ambidextrous innovation, along with key cultural aspects with regard to ambidexterity. The present research deeply dived into the model of organizational culture and attempted to build synergy between each model with respect to ambidexterity. The results of the present research suggest that Cameron and Quinn’s competing value framework, once amalgamated with the Schein model, creates an organizational culture framework that can be used to develop a culture that is best suited to the implementation of ambidextrous innovation. The Schein model provides a comprehensive guideline for each value of the competing value framework. Further, the present research also extracted key insights with regard to the role culture can play in innovation in general and ambidextrous innovation in particular. Finally, the present research also attempted to build a list of culture enablers and inhibitors that can facilitate and impede the process of ambidextrous innovation.

(1) Background: This study examines the mediating roles of work climate and perceived job stress on the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and job satisfaction using a serial mediation model in a sample of employees. Although EI is known to influence several organizational outcomes, its interaction with work climate and job stress is less well understood. (2) Methods: The PROCESS macro (Model 6) v4.2 by Hayes was employed to test the multiple mediating effects of work climate and perceived job stress on the relationship between emotional intelligence and job satisfaction. (3) Results: The results indicate that higher EI is associated with a more positive work climate, higher job satisfaction, and lower perceived job stress. Work climate and job stress mediate the relationship between EI and job satisfaction. Specifically, EI improves job satisfaction both directly and indirectly by increasing positive work climate and decreasing job stress. (4) Conclusions: These findings highlight the critical role of EI in creating a supportive work environment and improving employee well-being.
(1) 研究背景：本研究以员工为样本，采用序列中介模型，探讨了工作氛围和感知到的工作压力对情商（EI）与工作满意度之间关系的中介作用。众所周知，情商会影响组织的若干结果，但情商与工作氛围和工作压力之间的相互作用却鲜为人知。(2) 方法：采用 Hayes 的 PROCESS 宏（模型 6）v4.2 检验工作氛围和感知到的工作压力对情绪智力和工作满意度之间关系的多重中介效应。(3) 结果：结果表明，较高的情商与更积极的工作氛围、较高的工作满意度和较低的感知工作压力相关。工作氛围和工作压力是情商与工作满意度之间关系的中介。具体地说，EI 通过增加积极的工作氛围和减少工作压力，直接和间接地提高了工作满意度。(4) 结论：这些研究结果凸显了职业融入在营造支持性工作环境和改善员工福利方面的关键作用。

Over the last two decades, business has taken a more systematic approach to understanding its impact on all of its stakeholders. Companies are striving to operate in a more sustainable way to improve the environmental, social and economic impact of their activities. Even today, the interest in determining the value of a company or parts of a company has not waned. As the economy continues to evolve, there are reasons and impulses that encourage companies to find out what their value is. The new approach is dependent on re-thinking value creation. There has been a growing understanding that sustainability requires a more comprehensive view of value that includes economic, social and environmental benefits. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for determining the sustainable value of an enterprise with respect to the factors influencing its value. This study is based on information that was gathered through an extensive literature review (research publications and research studies; the company’s financial statements with notes) using Internet and research databases and the authors’ own experiences. Methods of analysis, comparison, selection, abstraction, induction, deduction and statistics were used. The main findings of this study are as follows: the stakeholders require a company’s sustainable value; the modification of the EVA method with the sustainable value approach brings a different perspective to the issue of determining the value of an enterprise. In addition to the positives, the proposed methodology has limitations that can be removed or improved with further research.
在过去二十年里，企业采取了更加系统的方法来了解其对所有利益相关者的影响。公司正努力以更可持续的方式运营，以改善其活动对环境、社会和经济的影响。时至今日，人们对确定公司或公司部分业务价值的兴趣并未减弱。随着经济的不断发展，有各种原因和动力促使公司找出自身的价值所在。新方法取决于对价值创造的重新思考。越来越多的人认识到，可持续发展需要更全面的价值观，包括经济、社会和环境效益。本文旨在针对影响企业价值的因素，提出一种确定企业可持续价值的方法。本研究基于通过使用互联网和研究数据库进行广泛的文献综述（研究出版物和研究报告；公司财务报表及附注）收集到的信息，以及作者自身的经验。采用了分析、比较、选择、抽象、归纳、演绎和统计等方法。本研究的主要结论如下：利益相关者需要公司的可持续价值；用可持续价值方法修改 EVA 方法为确定企业价值的问题带来了不同的视角。除积极因素外，所提出的方法也有局限性，可以通过进一步研究加以消除或改进。
