This paper aims to analyse remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) integration in non-segregated terminal airspace. This work aims to identify the potential airspace volumes where a free operation of RPAS can be developed by analysing the airspace design of the terminal airspace.

The methodology considers five crucial elements of the airspace design: obstacles, prohibited, restricted and dangerous zones, aerodrome zones, departing and arriving procedures and visual corridors. Free operation of RPAS is performed in those airspace volumes that no interaction with instrumental flight rules (IFR) flights is expected. Free RPAS airspace volumes are separated through current IFR separation minima.

The results show there is a significant amount of available airspace that RPAS can operate without interaction with conventional aircraft. The more significant risks are allocated by the limitations imposed by departing and arriving procedures in the terminal airspace.

The methodology is applied to medium-dense terminal airspace. This work assumes RPAS can perform visual or instrumental flights.

RPAS is a capital issue for the majority of aviation actors. This work underlay the further development of a methodology regarding airspace design for RPAS in a terminal control area.

This study aims to investigate the impact of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors on job satisfaction within the context of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), addressing a notable gap in understanding these relationships.

Data were collected from 97 full-time and part-time employees using a tailored survey instrument. Control variables included demographic factors, such as gender, age, marital status and hierarchical position. The study postulated four moderation hypotheses, conducted rigorous significance tests and demonstrated strong model reliability and validity, along with highly satisfactory fit parameters.

The findings confirm a positive association between the E, S and G factors and job satisfaction perceptions. Marital status was identified as a moderator in the relationship between social dimensions and job satisfaction. In addition, the multigroup analysis revealed variations in the associations between ESG dimensions and job satisfaction across different age groups, marital statuses and hierarchical positions.

The main contribution of this research lies in filling a significant gap in the understanding of how sociodemographic variables influence the relationship between employees and socially responsible behavior in SMEs.

Este estudio empírico tuvo como objetivo investigar el impacto de los factores ESG (ambientales, sociales y de gobierno corporativo) en la satisfacción laboral en el contexto de las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYME), abordando una brecha notable en la comprensión de estas relaciones.

Se recopilaron datos de 97 empleados a tiempo completo y parcial utilizando un instrumento de encuesta personalizado. Las variables de control incluyeron factores demográficos, como género, edad, estado civil y posición jerárquica. El estudio postuló cuatro hipótesis de moderación, realizó pruebas de significación rigurosas y demostró una sólida confiabilidad y validez del modelo, junto con parámetros de ajuste altamente satisfactorios.

Los hallazgos confirman una asociación positiva entre los factores E, S y G y las percepciones de satisfacción laboral. El estado civil se identificó como un moderador en la relación entre las dimensiones sociales y la satisfacción laboral. Además, el análisis multigrupo reveló variaciones en las asociaciones entre las dimensiones ESG y la satisfacción laboral en diferentes grupos de edad, estados civiles y posiciones jerárquicas.

La principal contribución de esta investigación radica en llenar un vacío importante en nuestra comprensión de cómo las variables sociodemográficas influyen en la relación entre los empleados y el comportamiento socialmente responsable en las PYME.

Os resultados confirmam uma associação positiva entre os fatores E, S e G e as percepções de satisfação no trabalho. O estado civil foi identificado como moderador na relação entre dimensões sociais e satisfação no trabalho. Além disso, a análise multigrupo revelou variações nas associações entre dimensões ESG e satisfação no trabalho em diferentes faixas etárias, estados civis e posições hierárquicas.

A principal contribuição desta pesquisa está em preencher uma lacuna significativa em nossa compreensão de como as variáveis sociodemográficas influenciam o relacionamento entre funcionários e comportamento socialmente responsável em PMEs.

This paper aims to find the best tools to influence the improvement of sustainability in food supply chains (FSCs) by conducting a systematic review of articles. The reader will learn how the different industry 4.0 tools (I4.0T) benefit the FSC and the limitations of each tool.

A review of 436 articles published during the period 2019 to 2022 referenced in the Scopus and Web of Science databases was performed. The review was limited to articles published in English and directly related to Industry 4.0, circular economy and sustainability in the food supply chain.

The results show different contributions of I4.0, with some being more influential than others in improving sustainability in FSCs; for example, Internet of Things and Blockchain have been shown to contribute more toward transparency, traceability, process optimization and waste reduction.

The paper's contribution consisted of ranking according to their importance and the I4.0T that affect sustainability in FSCs by classifying the aspects of each tool and the sustainability factors through a categorization by the Analysis Hierarchy Process.

Adoption and implementation of sustainable strategies (SS) in firms have been widely studied; however, there is scarce evidence of factors that affect the overall firm performance (FP). Therefore, in this research the variables knowledge management (KM) and professionalization (PR) toward the adoption of SS and their impact on FP are promoted.

Data from 120 firms in manufacturing industry in Coahuila, Mexico, were collected, and the study is based on the PLS-SEM technique.

The results revealed that (1) KM and PR present a positive impact on SS and (2) SS are positively related to FP.

For manufacturing managers, it is necessary to implement SS that meet the expectations of stakeholders, in addition to training human resources with the ability to achieve the aims of the firm and at the same time take care of the environment. As for corporate policymakers, it is essential that they promote global environmental care strategies based on collaborative business.

This research contributes to literature on business management, mainly to the incorporation of SS that allow boosting the economic aspect, but without neglecting social and environmental part.

Las investigaciones acerca de la adopción e implementación de estrategias sostenibles (ES) en las organizaciones han sido muy estudiadas, sin embargo, hay poca evidencia de los factores que inciden en el rendimiento empresarial (RE). Por consiguiente, en esta investigación promueve la gestión del conocimiento (GC) y profesionalización (PR) hacia la adopción de ES y su impacto en el RE.

Se incluyen datos de 120 empresas manufactureras de Coahuila, México y la investigación está basada en la técnica PLS-SEM.

En concreto, los resultados revelaron que: (1) la gestión del conocimiento y la profesionalización presentan un impacto positivo en las estrategias sostenibles y (2) las estrategias sostenibles se relacionan positivamente con el rendimiento empresarial.

Para los directivos de la industria manufacturera, es necesario implementar estrategias sostenibles que cumplan con las expectativas de los grupos de interés, además de formar recursos humanos con la capacidad de alcanzar los objetivos organizacionales y al mismo tiempo lograr un cuidado del medio ambiente. En cuanto a los responsables políticos, es esencial que promuevan estrategias globales de cuidado del medio ambiente basadas en la colaboración empresarial.

La investigación contribuye a la literatura de la gestión empresarial, en la incorporación de estrategias sostenibles que impulsen el aspecto económico, pero sin descuidar la parte social y ambiental.
