Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This study aimed to examine the intricate associations between green human resource management (GHRM) practices, corporate social responsibility (CSR), organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE), and organizational sustainability (OS) within the Palestinian healthcare sector. The findings revealed that GHRM practices exerted a positive and significant impact on OS, OCBE, and CSR, with OCBE and CSR acting as crucial links in the relationship between GHRM practices and OS. Notably, the study emphasized the importance of embracing GHRM as a strategic priority and of cultivating a culture of environmental citizenship while aligning CSR initiatives with sustainability goals. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This research paper aimed to investigate whether a proof of concept intervention could develop performance management practices in UK-based manufacturing SMEs to improve productivity. The results showed partial development of practices related to productivity measurement, process orientation, data analysis, and improvement prioritization, but less development in strategic productivity improvement. Depth of engagement within the SME, the level of independent action required, and feedback opportunities were identified as key mechanisms affecting practice development. Key insights for managers include the need for sustained, iterative interventions involving multiple employees, and balancing external guidance with independent action and feedback loops. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Perceived individual-focused transformational leadership (IFTL) is strongly and positively associated with psychological capital, thriving at work and taking charge. Thriving at work partially mediates the relationship between IFTL and taking charge. The hypothesis that thriving at work mediates the relationship between psychological capital and taking charge is partially supported (the effect of psychological capital on taking charge is significant but weakens when thriving at work is present). Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

This helps transform HRD into a more hybrid function involved in the FFL processes that identify various possible futures and shape decision-making accordingly. The function also has responsibility for ensuring that Industry 4.0 technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence are utilized ethically and not to the detriment of human input.
