The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in marketing automation has transformed customer engagement, data-driven personalization, and campaign optimization across industries. However, the opaque nature of AI decision-making raises concerns about transparency, trust, and ethical compliance, particularly in sensitive domains such as healthcare and finance. This review explores the design of Explainable AI (XAI)-based marketing automation architectures that prioritize interpretability, fairness, and regulatory alignment. It examines how explainability frameworks—such as SHAP, LIME, and counterfactual reasoning—can enhance model transparency without compromising predictive accuracy. The paper compares architectural strategies for embedding XAI within Customer Relationship Management (CRM), lead scoring, and content personalization systems in healthcare and financial institutions. By analyzing recent advancements in hybrid explainability models, knowledge graphs, and AI auditing pipelines, this review highlights how organizations can achieve responsible automation while meeting sector-specific compliance standards like HIPAA, GDPR, and Basel III. The study concludes by outlining a reference architecture for XAI-driven marketing automation that balances algorithmic interpretability with business performance, supporting ethical personalization, trustful decision-making, and sustainable digital transformation across regulated industries.

ABSTRACT Hong Kong SAR, a global education hub, lures numerous scholars for career development. Data show that 69.3% of its academics are non-local, and they hold half of the leadership roles in major universities, which is rare in any other place. Mainland Chinese scholars are the predominant non-local group, and their number has even surpassed that of locals recently. Guided by career capital theory, this paper formulates an analytical framework with seven indicators to investigate the features, opportunities and challenges of mainland Chinese scholars in Hong Kong SAR. Then, the documentary analysis approach was used to collect the headcounts of all academic staff by categories, 979 academics with leadership roles, and the academic trajectory of 363 mainland Chinese. Findings indicate that mainland Chinese scholars own extensive global networks and career capital and are increasingly representative in STEM and business fields. They are more well-included than other non-locals, but still face challenges. Meanwhile, some benefited from local policies that support locally nurtured talents. This paper not only draws an overall picture of mainland Chinese scholars from a career capital aspect to fill in gaps in academic mobility and career development literature, but also offers practical insights for institutional talent management and maximising scholars’ resources.

Purpose Creativity fosters innovativeness, competitiveness and sustained success. This study aims to evaluate the mediating role of employee creativity in the nexus of human resource management (HRM) practice and organizational ambidexterity. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 973 employees of 75 health care institutions comprising 48 (indigenously-owned) and 27 (internationally-owned). The positivist paradigm was adopted. Construct validity and reliability were established using confirmatory factor analysis. The study hypotheses and proposed model were evaluated using structural equation modeling Findings The study’s results show that ability-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity were positively related. Motivation-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity were positively related. Opportunity-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity were nonsignificantly related. Employee creativity mediates the ability-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity relationship. Similarly, employee creativity mediates the motivation-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity relationship. Nonetheless, employee creativity did not mediate the opportunity-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity relationship. Research limitations/implications The generalizability of the findings will be constrained due to the research’s health care focus and cross-sectional data. Practical implications The findings of the study would provide valuable insight to stakeholder’s, policy makers and management of health care institutions in developing a supportive work environment that promote the generation of originality and novelty in ideas to ensure institutional competitiveness, competencies and innovativeness. Originality/value By evidencing empirically that employee creativity mediates the ability-enhancing practices, motivation-enhancing practices and organizational ambidexterity relationship, the study extends the literature on employee creativity, HRM practices and organizational ambidexterity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming higher education by introducing innovative tools that enhance teaching, learning, and institutional management processes. This study presents a bibliographic review that examines the main opportunities, challenges, and ethical implications associated with the implementation of AI in higher education.

The findings indicate that AI technologies contribute to personalized learning, intelligent tutoring systems, learning analytics, and automated assessment, improving student engagement and academic performance. However, the literature also identifies significant challenges, including limited digital competencies among educators, technological infrastructure requirements, and concerns related to academic integrity. Furthermore, the increasing use of AI raises important ethical issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, transparency, and accountability in educational systems. The review concludes that while artificial intelligence offers substantial potential for educational innovation, its successful integration requires responsible governance, institutional policies, and pedagogical strategies that ensure ethical and effective use in higher education environments.

Although higher technical efficiency is theoretically expected to enhance farm sustainability, empirical evidence in livestock systems remains ambiguous. This study investigates the interplay between technical efficiency and sustainability using data from 72 farms in Tokat, Türkiye, selected via stratified random sampling. Technical efficiency was calculated using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), while a multidimensional Sustainability Index was constructed using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for weighting dimensions. Determinants of inefficiency were estimated using a Tobit model. Results revealed an average technical efficiency of 0.717 and a Composite Sustainability Index of 0.41, classifying the sector as "moderate" but fragile. Crucially, the Kruskal-Wallis test showed no statistically significant difference in sustainability scores across efficiency groups (p > 0.05). This finding confirms a "structural disconnect," demonstrating that high technical efficiency does not guarantee sustainability because of systemic bottlenecks such as dysfunctional organizations and infrastructure deficits. Furthermore, Tobit results showed that non-farm income and internet access were positively associated with technical efficiency, whereas indebtedness was negatively associated. Consequently, achieving lasting sustainability requires a shift from simple productivity support to structural modernization policies, including the integration of sustainability-oriented criteria such as institutional strengthening, environmental management, and financial capacity into existing support schemes.

Introduction Given the rising concern for food safety and environmental sustainability of agricultural intensification in the Global South, we examined drivers of pesticide use and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Liberia. Methods We draw on a unique dataset combining 336 cocoa, 320 coffee, and 291 cassava farmers with evidence from 72 midstream value chain actors, including buyers, aggregators, and processors, to capture both farm-level decision-making and downstream market incentives. Using econometric choice models, we analyze how household, farm, and institutional factors shape pest management practices across market-oriented tree crops and staple food systems. Results Our results show the difference and similarity in the determinants of pesticide use and IPM adoption between farmers producing market-oriented crops (cocoa and coffee) and cassava farmers. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that organic production dominates in high-value cash crops like coffee and cocoa, our findings show that farmers in these sub-sectors rely more on pesticides than less market-orientated crops like cassava. Discussion Evidence from downstream actors suggests limited market demand and weak price incentives for low-pesticide use, which helps explain the continued reliance on chemical pesticides, particularly in tree crop systems. We therefore recommend that promoting sustainable pest management in Liberia requires not only strengthening advisory services and farmer training, but also transmission of food safety and sustainability requirements through value chain governance and pricing mechanisms.

Introduction Sustainability in higher education requires attracting, retaining, and developing top faculty to maintain academic excellence and institutional resilience. This study investigates whether job engagement and job satisfaction mediate the relationship between talent management and employee performance in Chinese higher education institutions. Methods A cross-sectional, correlational quantitative survey was conducted. Validated scales were adapted for the Chinese higher-education context through expert validation, back to back translation, and pilot testing. Data were collected from 408 faculty members at public universities in Guangdong Province using convenience sampling. Descriptive statistics and reliability/validity assessments were performed in SPSS 29.0. Hypotheses were tested with PLS-SEM in SmartPLS 4.0. Results Talent management positively influences employee performance through two distinct mediating paths: (1) via increased job engagement and (2) via increased job satisfaction. The career development and performance management components of talent management had unique, significant effects on academic employees, reflecting the influence of teaching and research on career trajectories. Discussion Findings provide empirical support for dual mediation consistent with social exchange theory within Chinese higher education. Practical implications include aligning talent management practices (career development, performance management), clarifying job roles, and soliciting regular feedback to boost engagement and satisfaction, thereby improving faculty performance and institutional sustainability. Limitations include cross-sectional design and convenience sampling; future research should use longitudinal and broader sampling to confirm causal directions.

Purpose This paper examines the implementation of Territorial Health Groups (THGs) under Morocco's healthcare reform via Framework Laws 06–22 and 08–22. The study assesses how THGs can improve access, quality and efficiency of healthcare services, identify governance challenges and explore conditions for effective and sustainable territorial health governance. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a qualitative, exploratory approach with three objectives: (1) to examine public management theories as the theoretical foundation for THG governance; (2) to analyze the regulatory framework, including institutional arrangements, management instruments and digital tools and (3) to review international health-sector decentralization reforms in France, Spain, Canada, Indonesia and Algeria, adapted to Morocco's socio-economic and institutional context. Data were drawn from legal texts, ministerial reports, academic literature and comparative case studies. Findings THGs can enhance territorial equity, strengthen managerial autonomy and support participatory, data-driven governance. Their effectiveness depends on addressing structural challenges, including uneven human resource distribution, limited digital infrastructure and unclear accountability mechanisms. The study proposes a THG governance model with performance indicators, highlights implementation risks and success conditions and provides clear, actionable recommendations, summarizing the key findings to advance Morocco's THG system. International experiences emphasize the importance of national coordination, interregional equalization mechanisms, integrated care pathways and phased implementation. Research limitations/implications Limited THG data restrict the analysis to secondary sources; future research should include interviews and regional case studies. Practical implications Recommendations include a phased rollout, equitable resource allocation and stakeholder engagement. Originality/value The study integrates theory, regulation and international evidence to provide a theoretically grounded governance framework that supports evidence-informed, equitable and sustainable decentralization of Morocco's health system.

The management of solid waste (SWM) has emerged as a serious environmental and operational issue in learning institutions with the growing number of students, urbanization, and expansion of infrastructure on the campuses. Campuses are mini cities that generate a variety of waste materials, including paper, food waste, plastics, and electronic waste. Poor waste management causes environmental pollution, health hazards, and poor use of resources. This analytical research paper discusses the trends in waste generation, inefficiencies in the system, and optimization methods to enhance waste management in educational institutions. We study mathematical optimization models, intelligent technologies, and sustainable strategies to boost efficiency and reduce operational expenses. Linear programming, genetic algorithms, and smart monitoring systems are the methods of optimization that can greatly enhance the efficiency of waste collection, lessen the impact on the environment, and increase sustainability. The paper ends with a suggested integrated optimization model that can be applied to schools.

Administrators manage users, roles, and system configurations, while faculty members create and manage courses, handle enrollments, and share learning resources. Students can enroll in courses, access learning materials, and monitor their academic progress online. The proposed solution follows a layered architectural approach and employs RESTful services to ensure scalability, maintainability, and security. Experimental evaluation shows improved efficiency, data consistency, and reduced manual workload, making the system suitable for institutional academic management.

This study focused on optimizing fixed asset inventory control at the Instituto Tecnológico de Pachuca over a defined period, integrating both technical (hard) and interpersonal (soft) skill development among the personnel responsible for this management. The proposal included key strategies such as analysis of the current system, designing standardized procedures for the reception, classification, and delivery of movable property under chapter 5000, as well as recording backlogged inventory from 2016–2020 into the SIBISEP system. Institutional timelines were met by submitting quarterly reports known as "cédulas trimestrales" to TecNM. Virtual manufacturing cells were introduced to assign, track, validate, and monitor SKU codes, and a designated space was enabled to improve the handling of low-value storage. The methodology relied on Excel-based tools to facilitate the classification, analysis, and efficient organization of processes within the Department of Material Resources and Services. Key outcomes included significant improvements in inventory registration and control in SIBISEP, timely report submissions, enhanced accuracy in tracking chapter 5000 assets, and an innovative implementation of inventory collection using video camera footage with proper SKU code assignment. This work demonstrates that balancing technical competencies with interpersonal skills is essential to strengthening institutional management and achieving outstanding results. It is recommended that inventory oversight be entrusted to trained personnel, encouraging ongoing skill development to minimize bottlenecks and enhance organizational processes.

Abstract This study presents a bibliometric analysis to examine the intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and research dynamics of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education management. Using 279 Scopus-indexed journal articles published between 1988 and 2025, the analysis employs Biblioshiny and VOSviewer to conduct performance analysis, co-citation analysis, bibliographic coupling, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic mapping. The results indicate a steady annual publication growth rate of 10.17%, with contributions from 735 authors across 181 academic journals, reflecting the expanding scholarly attention to this field. Influential outlets such as the International Journal of Management Education and the Journal of Management Education play a central role in knowledge dissemination, while highly cited publications serve as key intellectual references. Thematic mapping identifies artificial intelligence and management education as motor themes, indicating their central and mature position, supported by machine learning and deep learning as foundational methodological themes. Niche themes such as AI literacy and education quality demonstrate strong internal development but limited integration, whereas emerging themes including AI ethics and AI in education highlight growing managerial, ethical, and governance-related concerns. The thematic evolution analysis further reveals an increasing focus on generative AI applications, particularly ChatGPT, within higher education management contexts. By systematically mapping research patterns and thematic trajectories, this study provides a structured overview of the field and identifies research gaps relevant to institutional governance, ethical regulation, and strategic management of AI in higher education.

Laboratory asset management in academic environments is commonly administrative and manual, resulting in low efficiency, accountability, and transparency. This study aims to formulate a digital governance model for laboratory asset management through the application of a web-based information system integrated with QR Code technology and automated notifications. The research method involves system design, real-time asset identification implementation, and user acceptance evaluation using User Acceptance Testing (UAT). The results indicate that QR Code and notification integration not only improves operational efficiency but also establishes a structured and traceable asset control mechanism. User satisfaction exceeding 90% confirms that the system supports transparency and accountability principles in laboratory asset governance. This study contributes an applied digital governance principle that can be generalized to other institutional asset management contexts.

Despite the rapid expansion of green roof installations in the United States, little empirical evidence exists regarding their long-term persistence or post-installation management. This study evaluates post-installation outcomes for 46 green roofs across ten southeastern U.S. states using a structured survey and publicly available records. Roofs were classified by status (managed, abandoned, removed, mid-refurbishment, or unknown) and management intensity. Associations with ownership change, building type, and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification status were examined using Fisher’s Exact Tests and logistic regression. Only 47.8% of roofs were actively managed at the time of data collection, while 45.7% had been abandoned or removed. Ownership change was significantly associated with roof failure (Fisher’s Exact Test, p = 0.001), with no managed roofs experiencing post-installation ownership turnover. In contrast, LEED certification status was not associated with either roof persistence or management intensity. These findings indicate that institutional continuity and sustained management play a critical role in determining long-term green roof outcomes and suggest that installation-based incentives may overestimate the number of functioning green roofs. By shifting evaluation beyond ecological performance metrics alone, this study highlights governance and institutional stability as central factors shaping roof longevity.
