Spiritual Intelligence as the guiding influence that interacts with Physical, Mental, and Emotional Intelligences hss increasingly been recognized as the factor that enables leaders and organizations to unlock the potential of employees and enrich organizations by enabling employees to find their voice. In this paper we explain the nature of the four intelligences and briefly summarize how Muslims view each of them. We include eight testable propositions related to the four intelligences and identify the contribution of this paper to the scholarly literature.

The warehouse operation has enabled physical inspection activities, including receiving and inspection of materials and equipment. It has been found that there are certain challenges faced by inspectors during the receiving and inspection of materials. The warehouse custodian has performed the physical inspection, but not all cross-checking activities are accurate. Therefore, receiving and inspection are crucial to the delivery process, and distinct approaches must be implemented to deal with internal and external clients, including international and local suppliers. To effectively deal with these challenges, a process for entry document processing must be established. This process should include harmonizing the purchase order's terms and supporting it with the delivery note, packing list, invoice, bill of lading, and airway/waybill provided by the supplier. This will ensure that the material's quantity, quality, and specifications are accurately documented. A total of 14 responses were collected among managers and supervisors of receiving and inspection unit through interviews and survey questionnaires in the seven geographical locations of Mali, West Africa. The independent variables, namely (PI) physical inspection, (HOV) handover, and (DOC) documentation, significantly impact the dependent variable.

The failures of leaders in the 21st century have reached crisis proportions, as evidenced by the alarming trends of “Quiet Quitting” and “The Great Resignation” (Jamali & Caldwell, 2023). Beck and Harter (2023) reported that 82% of people promoted to positions of leadership were the wrong individuals and 58% of employees in a 2018 survey indicated that they would rather trust a stranger than their boss (Damron, 2018). For organizations to reverse this trend of ineffective leadership, they must develop a sustainable leadership approach that incorporates true ethical principles (Hasan, 2022).The purpose of this paper is to address the need for “Sustainability Leadership” in modern organizations and to emphasize the importance of ethical leadership (Stouten, Van Dijke, & De Cremer, 2012). We begin this paper by defining Sustainability Leadership (SL) and emphasizing its importance as a leadership framework. After defining SL, we then identify how SL meshes with seven different leadership perspectives. We suggest eight propositions that leaders and organizations can test related to each perspective’s contribution to SL. We conclude the paper by identifying four contributions of this paper for leaders and organizations
21世纪领导人的失败已经达到了危机的程度，“悄然辞职”和“大辞职”的惊人趋势就是明证。考德威尔,2023)。Beck和Harter(2023)报告说，82%的晋升到领导职位的人是错误的人，在2018年的一项调查中，58%的员工表示他们宁愿相信陌生人而不是他们的老板(Damron, 2018)。对于组织来说，要扭转这种无效领导的趋势，他们必须制定一种可持续的领导方法，其中包含真正的道德原则(Hasan, 2022)。本文的目的是解决现代组织中对“可持续领导”的需求，并强调道德领导的重要性(Stouten, Van Dijke， &De Cremer, 2012)。我们首先定义可持续领导力(SL)，并强调其作为领导力框架的重要性。在定义了SL之后，我们确定了SL如何与七种不同的领导视角相结合。我们提出了八个命题，领导者和组织可以测试与每个视角对SL的贡献相关的命题。我们通过确定本文对领导者和组织的四个贡献来结束本文

The purpose of this study is to analyze the intention of college students to purchase counterfeit sports shoes, with needs, information search, price, brand awareness, and the price performance ratio as the analysis factors. This study adopted a random sampling method to survey 726 college students in China. The results of the partial least squares (PLS) analysis showed that the college students, regardless of whether they had experience in purchasing counterfeit sport shoes, searched for product information when having the functional needs and symbolic needs for sport shoes. This study shows that after students have conducted a product search, the price, brand awareness, and price-performance ratio affected their purchase intentions. The findings of this study could provide a reference for practical actions to resist counterfeit sport shoes.

The process of decision-making and problem solving is often ineffective because leaders and organizations fail to collaborate to pursue options that positively benefit all parties. This paper identifies five decision-making alternatives and describes their characteristics. It emphasizes the importance of the Win-Win decision philosophy advocated by Stephen R. Covey and identifies seven guidelines for implementing this approach to problem solving.

This paper and this special edition focus on issues associated with the importance of applied business research and the problems that need to be addressed in a business world that is struggling to deal with the forces of change. The challenges that leaders and organizations are facing to compete, survive, and flourish in the global marketplace have caused the redefining of the relationship between organizations and their employees. Clearly, the indicators for the modern organization suggest that academic scholars and business practitioners need to reevaluate the assumptions that have historically influenced business decisions. Applied business research will help to address the issues that business leaders must resolve to meet the demands of a constantly evolving business world.

Employees limit their commitment and organizations fail to be competitive for predictable reasons that have been well-documented (Nobel, 2011). According to the extensive research of the Gallup corporation, much of that failure is attributed to ineffective leadership (Clifton & Harter, 2019). The primary failure of those who lead is their inability to be perceived as being worthy of their employees’ trust – a problem that organization leaders have faced for decades (Barnard, 1938). Trust, the willing followership of a leader in the expectant hope that the leader will honor implied promises(Caldwell, 2019), has been elusive in organizations of all types, according to research reported in the Harvard Business Review (Bingham, 2017).

Infrastructure plays a crucial role in facilitating economic development and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) in a country. With the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement, trade and investment ties between China and its RCEP partners have been further strengthened. This study investigates the influence of host country infrastructure development on China’s outward FDI (OFDI) within RCEP partners. By analyzing China’s OFDI to RCEP partners and the infrastructure characteristics of member countries, we explore the impact of host country infrastructure quality on China’s OFDI. Using panel data on China’s direct investment stock in 12 RCEP countries from 2008 to 2020, in conjunction with host country infrastructure quality indicators, we apply a fixed-effect regression model to examine the effects of different types of infrastructure quality on China’s OFDI. Our results reveal that transportation, communications, and energy infrastructure in host countries significantly promote Chinese OFDI. Furthermore, we find that a larger market size, population, and higher trade openness in the host country effectively attract FDI from China. Based on these empirical findings, we provide recommendations to optimize the capital flow and enhance the efficiency of China’s OFDI.

This review is a qualitative study, according to the heterodox approaches, assessed the leading beneficient State under the European Union budget system. For this purpose, the study utilized the Multiannual Financial Framework reports between 2014-2020, which dealt with more than 700 indicators, measuring success against more than 60 general objectives, and more than 220 specific objectives in the performance framework. Therefore, trade globalization, political economy, economic history, social contribution by the European Union budget, and international economics under new-institutional economics have been evaluated in this process. Assessment outcomes found that poorer Member States are the net beneficient regarding the European Union budget’s net balance and financial corrections. However, Germany is the leading beneficient of the European Union budget system as it has extended trade to all along the border of the European Union without tariffs and has become a more cost-effective economy against the outside economies (like the United States of America or China) of the European Union territory. Thus, the current study suggested that nations under the European Union budget system should invest more in sustainable production to get real-time benefit from the European Union integration.

In a worldwide work environment where 50% of employees have self-described as unwilling to go the extra mile to contribute their very best and to pursue personal excellence, the quest to thrive and flourish may seem to be irelevant for many employees. Despite the attitudes of a large portion of the work force, there is undeniable value in striving to excel. In this paper we describe the nature of the individual identity and address its relationship to self-regard and humility. We identify ten insights about the importance of understanding the identity, explain the practical value of each of those insights, and offer a challenge for readers to become their very best selves.
