Abstract

Purpose

Morality in the workplace has become a significant determinant of organizational effectiveness and employee well-being. This research aims to conduct an in-depth review of the past literature on multidimensional morality and provide insight into its impact on the modern workplace and employee well-being.

Design/methodology/approach

The literature search resulted in 3,589 papers published between 2012 and 2024. This paper analyzed 30 research studies on workplace morality based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure methodological rigor.

Findings

Research findings show the need to promote workplace ethics to avoid counterproductive workplace behaviors. Also, effective leadership adheres to ethical principles, together with the ethical framework of an organization, which includes codes of ethics and a commitment to corporate social responsibility, contributing to the overall well-being of individuals by providing a sense of support and resolving conflicts. Ethical conflicts are associated with decreased well-being and increased turnover, underscoring the need for organizational solutions.

Practical implications

Understanding intricate morality is essential for organizations to foster moral cultures and improve performance. HR specialists can use this knowledge to create policies that uphold moral principles and improve employee job satisfaction.

Originality/value

This study extends the current body of knowledge by synthesizing research on multifaceted moral issues in modern workplaces. It provides useful insights for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are interested in promoting ethical organizational cultures by addressing ethical shortcomings.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore how female leadership contributes to corporate innovation through a systematic literature review. The authors provide a framework based on empirical studies to provide a broader perspective of corporate innovation based on female leadership.

Design/methodology/approach

To understand the most recent developments in leadership, a thorough literature study is carried out to discover the antecedents of women’s leadership and their contribution to corporate innovation, with an emphasis on literature published between 2013 and 2022. An intensive research plan was developed, and 1,120 outcomes were obtained. Finally, 35 studies met the criteria for inclusion in the study. A comprehensive and systematic approach is followed, with the goal of not just summarizing current empirical studies on the subject, but also including an aspect of analytical critique besides organizational policies.

Findings

The findings show that organizations with female chief executive officers (CEOs) are more likely to innovate. When female CEOs come on board, organizations are more likely to engage in creative activities. Research also reveals that female CEOs who head organizations are more likely to engage in new and creative business practices that are environment friendly. Moreover, developing nations are encouraged to accelerate the adoption of structural transformation initiatives that would provide women with access to information and technologies.

Research limitations/implications

This research is limited to literature published between 2013 and 2022.

Practical implications

It is important to select the organizational response to board female representation institutional logic to reflect the intended sort of performance. Organizational stakeholders were unfavorable to female leadership, implying that such perceptions harm women but benefit men. Prior research emphasizes distinctions in leadership effectiveness between males and females, diverting attention elsewhere from examining the reasons that generate differences among executives in organizations. For policymakers to promote more women in top positions based on female knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs), they need to understand how firms deviate from traditional standards. In addition, it is crucial to pay attention to how male and female leaders are supported by their followers.

Social implications

This research offers organizations a holistic view regarding female leadership and helps them understand their contribution in innovation.

Originality/value

In modern, dynamic and technological landscapes, female participation is one of the key aspects that corporates consider to sustain and drive growth. That is why, modern societies without women’s contribution to economic growth and innovation are deemed incomplete. The current study highlights their contribution to the economy. Literature also indicates that the presence of female leadership on boards impacts corporate innovation, as well as financial performance and contextual factors.c

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Innovation output tends to be greater when women occupy executive positions. However, female participation in the top corporate jobs is still low overall. This can be addressed by challenging conventional gender stereotypes that assume women lack the attributes perceived as necessary to succeed in a leadership role.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of mobile phone usage on sales and profit as the indicator of business performance, to analyse the facilitating roles of mobile phones and factors affecting farmers' decision to use the mobile phone in agribusiness activities.

Design/methodology/approach

Intensive farming was selected in this study due to its higher profitability than other crops. Data were compiled from field surveys of 1,040 farmer households in vegetable production regions of Indonesia. This study employed structural equation modelling, identifying mediating variables and quantifying multiple endogenous variables' direct and indirect effects in simultaneous regression equations.

Findings

The results indicate that mobile phone usage enabled farmers to increase sales, obtain market information, acquire improved agronomic technology, access credit and contact customers. The device enhanced profit through mediations of high sales, reasonable prices and access to credit and market information. The personal attributes of farmers determined the adoption of mobile phones to support agribusiness activities.

Research limitations/implications

This study paid attention to the use of mobile phones, which was considered an integral technology of information and communication. Other components, such as personal computers and other Internet-based devices, need further study.

Practical implications

As the rate of mobile phone use was still low, farmers should be encouraged to utilise the device. Socialisation and specially designed training workshops on agribusiness information systems using mobile phones are of the best ways.

Originality/value

Using structural equation modelling enables to analyse of multi-dependent variables in one model. Farm-level data provide a real situation, and policy implications should address the right target. The subject of this investigation is a semi-subsistence farm household that lacked access to information and communication technology.
