The destruction of an academic system may be recognised and conceded as a massacre imposed on a selected group. The importance of this research comes from its originality as it explores and introduces a “word” which to date has had no formal definition nor recognition in the English language dictionary, which signifies the impact of mass killing and destruction on education. This research makes an original contribution, through recognising the destructive impact on educational infrastructure as a form of genocide. Accordingly, a significant impact on education and reduces the country's literacy rate, according to the International Criminal Court (International Criminal Court, 1998). The research also makes an original contribution to knowledge as it presents for the first time a formal introduction to this word, reflecting this impact with a well-researched and investigated definition. The research findings demonstrate how war and conflict unquestionably have a significant impact on nations affected by conflict, notably in the fields of education and health. From this point, the research presented reference to previous historical cases, such as the invasion of Iraq, the Vietnam war, the genocide in Rwanda, and Nazi Germany, which can be seen as real-life evidence of how conflict would affect education and literacy rates. The research methodology was based on Iraq as a case study, using systematic literature review to investigate the link between genocide and the destruction of the education infrastructure. The research aims to present the elements of crime, justify the usage of the word educide while presenting a formal definition based on the research of previous usage, the genealogy and legality of the term through identifying what constitutes genocide.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115596411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research question, employees’ Retention in Care Business during COVID-19 and after Brexit, is very urgent and needs significant improving and finding a way to make it as high quality as it was before the pandemic and Brexit. The most vital problem the care companies are struggling with in this uncertain period – is inappropriate stuffing and people retention. This article highlights the ways how the government and care companies are managing staff retention during the Pandemic and Brexit. It also explains how the data was collected, its research philosophy, approach, strategy, and methods. There are so many factors that negatively impact these two areas and need to be resolved as soon as possible. To investigate this research problem, the interview was conducted among individual employees to explore their experiences of retention and working conditions during this challenging time. The expectations are that by distributing the ideas on good practice others can learn from the experiences and that the information can be used to shape future resources.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130911065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Analyzing employees’ perceptions of using artificial intelligence and gamification in HRM practices on employee’s job insecurity","authors":"Sara Mohamed Abdelaziz El- Menawy","doi":"10.24052/bmr/v13nu02/art-22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24052/bmr/v13nu02/art-22","url":null,"abstract":"Research on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Gamification (GF) continues to expand, and the use of artificial intelligence has sparked discussions on the future direction of human resource management practices. The importance of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of human resource management has increased as it enables departments to fulfil their duties more effectively. A specific focus on employees' perceptions of using Artificial Intelligence and Gamification in Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP) is still limited. This research aims to reveal the perceptions of HR employees towards artificial intelligence (AI) and Gamification (GF) in managing Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP). In addition, examining the relationship between using Artificial Intelligence and Gamification on Employees' Job Insecurity (JOBINS). This research has used a quantitative approach and data analysis. total of 450 respondents were involved in this research, but only 400 were qualified. the respondents are Human Resource employees in many sectors. Correlation and Regression analysis are used to test the research hypotheses. The results of this research revealed that Using both Artificial Intelligence and Gamification has a significant positive effect on employees' job insecurity. In addition, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the training and development process could help employees reduce the stress and time they spend on searching for and finding the right candidate. It could also help them improve the efficiency of their work by allowing them to focus on the training and not on the monotonous tasks. Moreover, using Gamification (GF) in managing Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP) could increase the employees’ motivation and Engagement. The contribution of this research to the literature is examining the gap between employees’ perceptions towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Gamification (GF) in managing Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP) and the impact on employees’ Job insecurity (JOBINS). This research provides a comprehensive analysis of the perceptions of employees about the use of artificial intelligence and gamification in HR departments. It also provides valuable insight into the potential of this technology in improving the efficiency of organizations. Further research is also needed to determine if the findings from this research could be applied to all employees inside the organization not only the employees who are working in HR department. In addition, it would be beneficial to conduct further studies on how to develop effective training and briefing materials for use of Artificial Intelligence in recruitment systems.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132052475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation has stepped forward, formed the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and proposes to develop a global set of SRS. These standards will focus on the financial impacts of sustainability issues and are targeted towards the investor. However, this approach does not align with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the most commonly used sustainability reporting framework globally, which adopts a multistakeholder focus. This study aims to analyse the SRS currently being used by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) Top 100 companies, the respective focus of these standards, and suggest whether these companies are likely to adopt the ISSB standards over the frameworks currently being used. A content analysis approach is adopted. The reports and websites of these companies are examined to identify the sustainability reporting guidelines and frameworks currently being used and whether these companies submit disclosures to reporting bodies. The results show that regardless of whether the ISSB standards are adopted, companies are likely to continue using the current frameworks to report beyond the financial impact of sustainability issues.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123879712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We captured the Dutch Disease syndrome through 2 main effects namely through i) the REER appreciation due to FDI and ii) a decline in export’s competitiveness. After investigation, using a Vector Error Correction Model, it is observed that Mauritius has not experienced such a disease with respect to the arrival of FDI because the government and local firms were successful in implementing right and stable policies.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131239347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With consumers' increasing concern about the environment, many businesses are fast investigating and exploring new approaches, creating new ideas, and preparing different approaches to position their green brands in the minds of the customers as a solution for environmental problems. This study contributes to the literature by the being among the first to test the impact of green purchase intention on carbon emissions in Egypt. A new conceptual framework was formed by integrating three important theories: theory of planned behaviour (TPB), Cognition–affection–behavior theory of attitude (CAB) and Value Belief Norm (VBN) theory of environmentalism. The proposed model incorporates green brand positioning, consumer`s green attitude, perceived environmental knowledge, green behaviour, green brand knowledge, and green purchase intention as main factors. A questionnaire was designed, and we obtain 231 eligible responses. We used PLS – SEM method to test the validity and reliability of the measurement model and then testing the hypothesises using structural equation model. The finding revealed that higher consumer`s intention to purchase green brands (GPI) would lead to lower carbon emissions (CE) and thus improve the environmental quality. We found also a positive and significant effect of consumers' attitude (GA) towards green brands and green behaviour on consumers' intention to purchase green brands (GPI). On the other hand, green brand positioning (GBP), perceived environmental risks (PEK), and green brand knowledge (GBK) have insignificant impact on consumers' intention to purchase green brands in Egypt. Moreover, the results showed that perceived environmental knowledge (PEK) and green brand knowledge (GBK) have indirect effect on consumer's intention to purchase green products through their effect on consumers' attitude and thus CGA is said to play a significant intermediary role. Furthermore, GBK is said to mediate the relation between GBP and GPI.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133639561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes these takeovers are violent, and others are not, but what we undoubtably see is that annexation will be successful if economic indicators rise, post-acquisition. For the purposes of this study, we will define success as the substantial decrease of violence six months after the takeover. We will focus our attention to three prominent cases of annexation by major powers: Crimea, Kashmir and Hong Kong. We will briefly examine what our study suggests for Ukraine and Taiwan. Our first aim will be to arrive at a developed scenario analysis that identifies actions taken by governments to harmonize territorial integrity. The second aim is to identify the consequences of annexation from a financial pers. Results of this study suggest that financial conditions within the contested areas are an indicator of political stability and successful annexation. Regardless of external pressure from the international community, successful annexation can be achieved. Findings indicate that as overall GDPPC rises and property values rise, the contested area has support from local constituencies for annexation by the major power.","PeriodicalId":323589,"journal":{"name":"The Business and Management Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124125550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
