Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the hotel Instagram posts that were posted on the social network, to verify people reactions as well as understand their content in terms of sustainability. Also, explore the opinions about the posts they did and understand if people can perceive the sustainability work looking at these posts. The article's object of analysis is the Aqua Village Health Resort & SPA hotel unit, a luxury hotel structure that advertises itself as sustainable, with a strong connection to the environment, endogenous and water resources. Design/Methodology/Approach: Authors used a mix approach, with netnography and survey quantitative analysis. Authors used netnography, counting and analyzing the 89 posts that the company made on Instagram, during seven months, between June and December 2022, to verify the types of posts and the reactions they provoked, as well as to assess their content in terms of sustainability. To complementing this analysis, surveys were carried out to test what the first and last post of each of the months under analysis transmits or makes them feel. Findings: The paper provide empirical insights about how to promote a sustainable Hotel on Instagram. Looking at the major conclusions, the paper provide information about the importance of Instagram posts and information about how a hotel can be sustainable and communicate that through social networks. With these results authors can conclude that the hotel does not use Instagram to be promoted as a sustainable player. Research, Practical & Social Implications: Authors suggest future research on how to use social media to promote sustainability. Originality/Value: This paper allows to understand the importance of promote a sustainable business using Instagram.

Purpose: The gender pay gap in South Africa has greatly reduced since the implementation of the Employment Equity Act in 1998. However, there is still a pay gap that cannot be sufficiently explained and addressed by government leaders and scholars. Scholars, policymakers, the radical left, and feminists have carefully highlighted and addressed what is considered to be the major causes, such as segregation of women, women's stereotypes, marginalization of women, wage penalties due to time away from work, child nurturing responsibilities given to women, and inequality in salaries and remunerations. However, the World Bank reported that from 2007 on, the gender pay gap in South Africa was no longer showing any sign of reduction. It was stagnant and thereafter oscillating. As such the purpose of this research is to investigate the causes of the stagnation and the oscillation, and to provide recommendations. Theoretical Framework: This research used multivariate analysis theory to make further contributions on the causes of gender pay inequality in South Africa in order to address the stagnation and oscillation of the existing pay gap. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is qualitative approach. The research design comprises men and women who are already in the work industry in both private and public sector. Findings: This research found that gender pay gap in South Africa is caused by women’s family-career crisis as a main contributor, followed by interests and personality traits, equality of opportunity and career selection. Research Implications: This research paper gives light to further research in Women’s family-career crisis as it seems to be the major contributor to gender pay gap in South Africa. The assessment of how impactful family-career crisis is on gender pay gap is also essential in order to understand the magnitude of it on gender pay gap in South Africa. Originality/Value: This research paper found significant causes of gender pay gap such as ‘family career-crisis’ that shows to heavily contribute to the gender pay in South Africa. This might further give clarity to the governments on the existence of gender pay gap. Moreover this research may help in redefining the government policies on the approach of gender pay gap.

Propósito: El objetivo de este estudio fue ofrecer un aporte sustancial para comprender los desafíos del tutor y asesor de nivel superior, desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes que cursan en la modalidad a distanciade el programa de estudios de Contador Público en la Escuela Superior de Comercio y Administración Santo Tomás (ESCASTO) del Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN). El análisis detallado de los hallazgos se realizó con base en el modelo bifuncional de la figura del asesor y/o tutor que desempeñan docentes sustenta la reconfiguración de sus funciones del profesor de educación a distancia en un entorno digital en el contexto de la evolución del constructivismo, el conectivismo y el aprendizaje en red. Metodología: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva y se diseñó un cuestionario tipo Likert, que se publicó en la plataforma y se aplicó a una muestra de 74 docentes asesores, 22 docentes tutores y 119 estudiantes durante el cierre del periodo escolar. Conclusiones: Los principales hallazgos permiten concluir que los estudiantes están motivados, lo que sugiere que el asesor planifica la práctica en el aula virtual y las actividades de evaluación mientras que el tutor realiza la comunicación escrita a través de la plataforma y la retroalimentación de manera efectiva. Sin embargo, a la mayoría de los estudiantes no les gusta trabajar en grupos heterogéneos o hacer trabajo colaborativo. Por lo tanto, existe un área de oportunidad para que el asesor promueva la acción formativa de manera dinámica y para el tutor promueva la integración de los estudiantes en el ambiente de aprendizaje de la modalidad. El reto fundamental radica en la continua adaptación y mejora de las estrategias educativas para empoderar a los estudiantes a prosperar en esta sociedad interconectada y en constante cambio. En conclusión, ahora más que nunca, la educación a distancia en la era digital está naturalizada en el constructivismo priorizando el acceso a todos los beneficios del conectivismo y el aprendizaje en red mediante un entorno de aprendizaje en línea enriquecido y efectivo. Implicaciones de la Investigación: Los hallazgos pueden tener implicaciones en la formación y desarrollo profesional de los tutores y asesores que trabajan en educación a distancia. Esto puede incluir la capacitación en estrategias de comunicación en línea, facilitación de la colaboración y promoción de la autonomía del estudiante. Originalidad/valor: El valor de esta investigación trasciende las fronteras de la educación en línea, impactando directamente en la mejora continua de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje en un mundo cada vez más digitalizado. Los hallazgos y conclusiones presentados no solo enriquecen nuestra comprensión de la dinámica educativa en entornos virtuales, sino que también brindan pautas prácticas y perspicaces para optimizar la interacción educativa y maximizar el potencial de los estudiantes en un entorno educativo en constante evolución

Purpose: This paper aims to establish a methodology that indicates economic activities able to absorb patents related to the main scientific areas of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Methodology: Two steps were important to development this methodology. The first one was to range the UFRGS patent according their degree of importance amongst the knowledge area. For this, the International Patent Classification (IPC) was the reference to organizer the patents. The second one was indicated the industries which have more potential to absorb the UFRGS patents. For this, it was used the Algorithmic Links with Probabilities approach, developed by Lybbert and Zolas (2014). Findings: It was found that 59% of UFRGS’ patents were allocated in just ten IPC subclasses, and at least 63% of these patents refer to technological inventions in the chemistry field. The technological core of UFRGS’ patents, therefore, lies in chemical science. This demonstrates that UFRGS’ patents focus on specific and specialist areas, and that they have significant potential for being absorbed by those economic activities whose products are drugs, therapeutic treatment, beverages, vaccines and insecticides. Practical Implications: This study may help the universities select both patents and priority industries in order to transfer their technology. Originality: It is constructed an original methodology which contribute to find a market to the university innovation. Furthermore, the developed methodology can be replicated in any other TICs which have patents.

Purpose: This study delves into the pivotal role of the Integrated Financial Administration System (SIAF) within local governments in Peru, with a focus on its influence on administrative, budgetary, and financial management. Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in a theoretical framework that explores the essential functions and applications of the SIAF in the context of municipal affairs. Design/Methodology/Approach: Employing a quantitative research approach with a descriptive correlational design, the study actively engaged 166 participants, including authorities, managers, and collaborators from municipalities. Random surveys and interviews were conducted to gather insights from advisors and experts. Findings: The results revealed a significant consensus, with 72.29% strongly agreeing on the substantial role of the SIAF in municipal administration. An additional 70.48% endorsed strong agreement, underscoring tangible improvements in administrative management facilitated by the SIAF. Reliability analysis, as reflected in KR20 and KR21 values, further solidified the credibility of the study. Research, Practical & Social Implications: The study recommends the establishment of continuous monitoring mechanisms for the SIAF, emphasizing regular updates to align with evolving administrative, budgetary, and financial requirements. Additionally, advocating for comprehensive capacity-building and training programs for municipal personnel is crucial to enhance proficiency in utilizing the SIAF effectively. Empowering stakeholders is expected to optimize system benefits and cultivate a culture of efficient financial administration within local governments. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing comprehensive insights into the indispensable role of the SIAF in local government administration, backed by rigorous quantitative analysis and reliability metrics.

Purpose: This research explores how to establish a conceptual framework for an empirical model of e-business motivation in small organizations, while most e-business studies focus on large companies. To explain SMEs' tactics and features, notably family businesses' increased e-business motivation. Theoretical Framework: Technological developments have an impact on changing business management patterns, many business opportunities can be captured by companies including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to be able to expand the market and increase sales. Design/Methodology/Approach: ANOVA analysis was used for quantitative analysis. This research took a sample of 122 Batik SMEs from the Batik center villages of Klaten, Jarum, Beluk, Banyuripan, and Kebon Regencies. The sampling method was purposive, namely by using batik SMEs that have used social media or websites to carry out promotions and sales. Findings: SMEs in the innovator category were more driven than reactors. Innovative companies succeeded in internet marketing, communication, and profit. However, the two groups employed e-business for study similarly. This shows that innovators and reactor companies have not fully adopted the e-business market or industry surveys. Implications of Research: This research shows that the success of e-business practices, especially electronic promotion and selling, will increase with strategic orientation that strives for innovation, as market coverage expands, and business duration increases. Originality/Value: E-business strategies and competencies in small businesses are infrequently investigated, whereas major enterprises are extensively studied. demonstrates that SMEs have distinct firm structures and HR development programs than major companies, hence their e-business practices will differ.

Purpose: This study sought to assess the efficacy of bid disputes management mechanism in Kenya. Theoretical Framework: Transparency in public procurement proceedings is a concern for most stakeholders. Allowing aggrieved bidders to challenge decisions of procuring entities is considered a critical development in the space of public procurement. The effectiveness and efficiency of bid disputes management mechanism should therefore be a concern for procuring entities, bidders, and development partners especially. This aspect is yet to be explored extensively in Africa. Design/Methodology/Approach: The Methodology for Assessing Procurement Systems (MAPS) as propagated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) helps evaluate the quality of public procurement systems and subsequently strategize on necessary reforms. This study applied MAPS to assess the efficacy of the bid disputes management mechanism in Kenya. Findings: It was established that overall, the public procurement bid dispute management mechanism in Kenya was effective and efficient. However, shortcomings were noted concerning resourcing of Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB), unaffordable filing fees and accessibility of comprehensive, simple, and clear information on filing procedures. Research, Practical and Social Implications: The findings of this study offer policy recommendations that will help promote effective and efficient management of public procurement bid disputes. Originality/Value: The results of this study contribute to theory, practice and literature in the field of public procurement which is less researched in the Eastern Africa Region. The findings of the study can be replicated in countries that have based their procurement reforms on the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Public Procurement. It is to be appreciated that application of MAPS indicators allows for subjective judgments by the assessor.
