“…Already in 2001, the concept of CSR was incorporated into the article, "Promoting a European framework for Corporate Social Responsibility", European document Green Paper (2001), and defined as a concept whereby "companies integrate social and environmental concerns into business operations voluntarily [28]. Nowadays, developing empowering strategies based on health, safety, and the environment is one of the most important issues of management in organisations [29]. In the environmental field, responsible business is manifested by the enforcement of environmental policy in order to minimise environmental impacts, reduce the material and energy intensity of processes, resource protection, waste management, application of environmental processes management systems, such as minimising waste production, waste reuse by recycling, reducing CO 2 emissions through the usage of ecological products and services (transport), compliance with ISO 14000 and EMAS environmental standards, protection of natural resources, use of alternative energy sources, and so on.…”

Recognising that implementing an agricultural enterprise impacts the state of the environment, its ecological stability, and the self- regulatory capabilities of ecosystems, the aim of this paper is to acquaint the professional and lay public about the attitudes of Slovakian agricultural enterprises towards environmental protection and sustainable development. The paper draws attention to present methods, techniques, and tools that enterprise management are applying for the purpose of meeting and overcoming environmental challenges. The data for this research were obtained from controlled interviews and a questionnaire survey conducted across more than 90 agricultural enterprises. Based on the data outcomes, research premises and formulated research hypotheses put forward are verified by using Friedman, Wilcoxon, Kruskal–Wallis, and Pearson chi-square tests. Discussion of the findings points out that although Slovakia is not yet one of the most polluting countries, promoting the application of environmental protection approaches for sustainable development is of the essence. The most important agriculturally related step, mitigating environmental degradation, is to promote changes in the moral values of agricultural enterprises and the society through enhanced environmental awareness and application practices.

“…Zhu et al (2014) stress the importance of using statistical data to guide government policymaking as it relates to tourism while other scholars consider how to process the high volume of data collected by smart tourism technologies (Del Vecchio Pasquale and Giuseppina, 2016). The utilization of open data is an emerging strategy that is used to identify and present smart solutions to the main stakeholders (Khan et al , 2017; Padash and Ghatari, 2020). Similarly, smart tourism destinations have been introduced in most studies through three components, which are cloud services, IoT and end-user internet service systems (Buhalis and Amaranggana, 2013; Buonincontri and Micera, 2016; Gretzel et al , 2015b; Tu and Liu, 2014; Wang et al , 2013; Zhu et al , 2014) and their analyzes have been performed based on these components.…”

Purpose This study aims to present a systematic review of smart tourism articles using a meta-synthesis method. Effective systematic reviews are essential for assisting stakeholders in implementing smart destinations. A systematic comprehension of studies on smart tourism is needed regarding the various components of smart tourism destinations, the metrics to map these components and their expected results. This study creates a framework for understanding how smart tourism destinations are theorized and developed. Design/methodology/approach Based on the meta-synthesis approach, this study collects, analyzes and synthesizes relevant research in smart tourism published in online databases by following a predetermined review protocol. Findings This study contributes to the discourse on smart tourism destinations by increasing the knowledge on the subject of smart destinations in regard to different categories. The selected articles were analyzed according to the proposed research questions and classified into three main categories: components, measurement and outputs. This study presents a new archetype for developing smart destinations and addresses efforts to bridge the gap in this research field. Practical implications This paper is noteworthy for stakeholders because it provides a comprehensive vision into the components that influence the growth of smart destinations. The advantage of the proposed methodology is that it creates a framework for understanding how smart destinations are theorized. Furthermore, it is helpful to use qualitative methodologies that efficiently allow the analysis of related literature and that also offer conceptual insights. Originality/value The findings provide information that can be used to help shape a fully conceptualized understanding of the smart destinations concept and can also prove important in providing a guide for policymakers and stakeholders in the tourism industry who seek to intelligently develop tourism destinations.

“…Conversely, if empowering behaviors do not facilitate the conditions to create empowerment, trust in leaders or positive leader–member relationships, empowering leadership may have deleterious effects on followers' behavior. The positive association of perceived organizational support with job and co-worker satisfaction, performance, organizational commitment, corporate social responsibility and turnover intention has newly gained attention in several cross-cultural and empowerment related studies (Amor et al , 2021; Maan et al , 2020; Malik et al , 2021; Padash and Ghatari, 2020; Bouncken et al , 2020; Rigaud, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the relationships between societal culture value dimensions and employee preferences for empowerment behaviors by managerial leaders across societal cultures. To do this, the authors synthesize the extant literature to underpin this study and to set the research agenda for future empirical work.Design/methodology/approachUsing field survey research method, the authors obtain and analyze data from ten samples in eight geographically and culturally diverse societies from a global longitudinal study of preferred managerial leader behavior.FindingsCultural value dimension predictor variables affect employee preferences for leader empowerment behaviors in the societies studied. Some significant effects of gender and organizational factors on these relationships were found.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research should expand upon variations in the meaning of employee empowerment across cultures, consider other cultural models and theories, and a more extensive set of personal, organizational and relational factors.Practical implicationsEmployee preferences for leader empowerment behaviors are more likely the result of the interplay, exchange and trade-offs between cultural, personal and organizational values. The effectiveness of employee empowerment is contingent upon well-designed training programs aligning management and worker values, goals and tasks.Originality/valueThe authors offer more realistic, objective and evidence-based insights into the cultural influences on the effectiveness of empowerment and employee cognitions towards it than the extant, conceptually and methodologically compromised, strategic cross-cultural studies.
