Published: July 2024

Abstract
The assessment of the link between the information system or the informational system, as some authors call it, refers to the information system, and the environmental dimension within the organization or, better said, environmental sustainability, which answers, through excellence, the question of how we propose to study this connection or interdependence between the information system and the environmental sustainability dimension. To proceed to an in-depth study of the link between the information system and a dimension of sustainability, we proposed to expand the search parameters to the following fields of reference in terms of sustainability: environmental sustainability along its component dimensions and information system along its component dimensions. By its purpose, the article tests a methodological framework developed to evaluate informational systems and environmental sustainability Соnsidеring thе novelty оf thе еnvirоnmеntal issuе, thе aсtiоn rеsеarсh apprоaсh соuld bе transfоrmеd intо a tооl tо hеlp prоvidе pоssiblе thеоrеtiсal and praсtiсal sоlutiоns fоr thе businеss еnvirоnmеnt in tеrms оf thе infоrmatiоn systеm.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The majority of those teaching students in Romanian pre-university education use digital educational resources, educational platforms, and applications that employ artificial intelligence both in the teaching process and in evaluation to support student motivation and improve school results through learning adapted to the needs of the students. During the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, teachers sought new methods and tools to use in online teaching and assessment. Many of them created digital educational resources that they use both for teaching and for evaluating students.
In this study, I present the results of research conducted by applying an online questionnaire created with Google Forms to a number of 107 teachers who teach students in Romanian pre-university education. The questionnaire was sent individually through the WhatsApp application to identify the factors that lead to the motivation and improvement of the students' school results. The questionnaire responses were provided during February 20-23, 2024. Digital educational resources, educational platforms, and applications that use artificial intelligence were identified, which are used by teachers to motivate students to learn and to enhance their learning outcomes. The study underscores the significance of tailoring teaching methods to the specific needs of students and highlights the pivotal role of technology in enabling this adaptation process.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Virtual Teams Model is nowadays a framework, moreover a structure designed to guide the organization of teams that collaborate remotely, and there are still different voices which are debating the effectiveness and efficiency of related structure in an adaptive environment. The current scientific literature is likely continuing to evolve, researchers are exploring topics related to impact of virtual collaboration and the sustainability of the model for business success, looking at motivation as the main human factor which values high. The research method was appointed quantitative and qualitative methods, two structured, three months’ period surveys and questionnaires were conducted, the qualitative phase aimed to uncover rich, context-specific information that quantitative methods alone might not capture. 30 IT specialists from Bucharest, average 32, were asked the three semi structured questions about the overall impact, long term sustainability and employers’ motivation of virtual teams’ setup in their organizations. The analysis unveils a significant boost in impact, and a simultaneous decline in sustainability and motivation. While heightened impact signals successful outcomes, reduced sustainability shows challenges in keeping long-term effectiveness. At the same time, waning motivation poses a risk to team engagement and overall performance. Striking a balance is crucial; strategies focusing not only on maximizing immediate impact but also on sustaining effectiveness and bolstering motivation are vital for enduring success in team dynamics. Initiative-taking measures and adaptive leadership are imperative to navigate and mitigate potential setbacks in the interplay of impact, sustainability, and motivation.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Currently, the projects that can be carried out through Public Private Partnerships in the livestock sector are under the influence of specific market risk factors, with a great impact on the efficiency of public or private investments and their success. This research aims to analyze some of the market risk factors that affect the organization and operation of Public Private Partnerships in the livestock sector. Therefore, the paper seeks to obtain the answer to the question: What is the way in which market factors influence the functionality of Public Private Partnerships? In this context, we considered necessary and appropriate to achieve a comparative analysis of the main indicators in the field of demand, supply and prices of livestock products in Romania, EU 27 average and some EU developed countries. The data were provided by Eurostat, AgriData and Faostat and cover the period 2014-2022. The analysis of available data for the period 2014-2022 suggests that fluctuations in the supply, demand and prices of livestock products can be considered factors affecting the functionality of PPPs, through two-way transmission mechanisms. This can help in developing more robust strategies and policies for managing risks and capitalizing on opportunities within Public Private Partnerships.
The Impact of the EU AI Act on the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 – A Text Analysis
Authors: Ciurea Iulia-Cristina 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This article conducts an analysis on the content of the Artificial Intelligence Act which has recently been passed by the European Parliament and which is expected to be implemented during a two-year stepped transition period. Artificial Intelligence has been praised for significantly increasing the efficiency with which businesses, institutions, and countries as an extension, have been able to develop their sustainable development goal scores towards the United Nations’ 2030 ambitions, especially in implementing sustainable business development, urban development, renewable energy, healthcare, education and more. Contrary to these contributions, a large number of researchers and international organizations have signaled the necessity of ensuring the application of ethical and legal considerations during the development and usage of artificial intelligence and machine learning models through the use of data management, protection, and ethical modeling experts within organizations. The article thus seeks to highlight the areas of sustainable development most impacted by the introduction of the Artificial Intelligence Act, both negatively in slowing down innovation, and positively in ensuring the safe and ethical use of these technologies. The methodology of research used involves sentiment analysis using Python’s Natural Language Toolkit followed by keyword mapping to enable a targeted view into the most positive/negative pages of the act, the most highly mentioned sustainable goals, and the mapping between this sentiment and the mention count.

Abstract
The term „Green economy” in the context of sustainable development was used for the first time in 1989, there is no internationally agreed definition for it. In the last decades, in a relatively short period it has become an issue with major importance worldwide, the society realizing that its actions have direct effects on the environment, its live and where we carry out our work. In order to correctly understand the meaning of Green economy we need an insight on man as an individual but also on organizations that make economic and financial decisions and initiatives.
This paper examines the EU countries progress toward green economy, identifies the relationship with financial and economic indicators and analyses the role of eco-innovation performance and innovative capacity toward green transition to meet the European Green Deal objectives. Complex theoretical, methodological and empirical research methodology was adopted by using specific methods of investigation: critical analysis of the literature, complex quantitative and qualitative analysis, identification, construction and the appropriate processing of existing databases. The numerical results were obtained by the SPSS software package.
The paper’s outcome identifies barriers and success factors in the implementation of the EU’s main new growth strategy, highlights that the green transformation process of the economy needs large investments in innovation and eco-innovation and needs the green finance to be covered also by the public and private sector on national and EU level and from the EU budget as well.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
In today's VUCA world (acronym which stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous), building up and managing a career can be extremely challenging, since society undergoes fundamental and irreversible transformations driven by the new technological wave. Technological developments have impacted all areas of an organization and all phases of a business process, from basic operations to sales to financial management and human resource management. In this framework, where new industries emerge, new skills are required and new professional roles are designed, career management is a syntagm which can no longer be viewed just as a social construct of personal significance, but rather as an active endeavor to grasp the future of professions, adapt to the new reality, and capitalize on the opportunities in order to thrive in the long run. The aim of this paper is to address career management within the VUCA world shaped by technological advancements, and the ongoing discussion surrounding the dual nature of technology as both a threat and an opportunity. Drawing on statistical data, we highlight the need for of a different and more effective approach to career management in the current complex and unpredictable times, and a more alert and purposefully designed work-life balance. As a qualitative study, the paper involved the collection and selection of the relevant literature in the field, the analytical inquiry and interpretation, as well as the use of statistical data and their analysis to defend the argument and conclude the results.

A Statistical Model Regarding the Solving Problems Behavior in Formal Groups
Authors: Lăzărescu Raluca Petronela , Vîlcu Adrian 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Formal group behaviour is based on following specific norms and rules wherein the participants are expected to be well organised proving respect and accomplish orders, working to the requirements of the organization. When different tasks are essential to be solved, each member of the group must adopt proactive behaviour, so the communication process to be productive. The paper presents a practical approach about how the gender of students influences organisational group communication with the main objectives to evaluate the solving problems abilities on two groups (M/F) and create a psycho-metric model for solving problems inside formal groups. The authors used the questionnaire of Cândea R.M. and Cândea D. as an instrument that includes three types of behaviour that may appear during solving problem process - approaching a routine problem to solve it; approaching a problem that is not routine and measuring aspects regarding decision process encouraging the creativity and the spirit of innovation in a formal group. Furthermore, the authors used statistical methods - Shapiro-Will and Man-Whitney U tests- and statistical factorial modelling – PCA method to identify the most critical factors that influence solving problems in formal groups. The necessity of the research comes from the dynamic of changes affecting the group from external and internal environments during the decision process.
European Financial Markets Integration and the Politics of Credit Rating Agencies: An Econometric Approach to Study Microeconomic Dynamics and Sustainability

Published: July 2024

Abstract
On sovereign credit default swaps markets, contagion serves as a sobering reminder of the interconnectedness of global financial systems. Like ripples in a pond, the impact of sovereign default or downgrades can cascade across borders, highlighting the intricate web of dependencies among nations. Utilizing sovereign CDS spreads between 2006-2020 on local European markets, the study employs an event study methodology to assess the effects of rating changes on CDS spreads, focusing on negative events such as sovereign rating downgrades. The findings reveal that negative events have a greater impact on the CDS market than positive events, abnormal returns are higher during economic crises, and states with public debt exceeding the Maastricht criteria experience higher abnormal returns. These results suggest that investors are sensitive to adverse news and risk factors, see opportunities for profit during economic turmoil, and closely monitor fiscal sustainability metrics. Understanding and managing contagion risk in these markets requires not only vigilance but also cooperation and coordination among policymakers and market participants.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Many businesses, including the banking sector, have been impacted by the spread of digital technology to change their business plans, procedures, goods, and services to better serve their clients and enhance their operations. Most crucially, because digital technology platforms enable new business models, traditional product and service creation are no longer necessary. Additionally, the institution is creating operational strategies through digital transformation to help it successfully compete and adjust to the new working environment. Customers currently access financial products and services through automated teller machines, internet banking, and mobile banking. Employing the quantitative research approach, this study seeks to analyze the nexus between perceived usefulness, perceived self-efficacy, perceived ease of use and continuance usage intention towards digital banking services. Empirically, the Smart PLS approach was utilized to examine the relationship between the antecedents (perceived self-efficacy and perceived ease of use) and continuance usage intention towards digital banking service, through the intervening impact of perceived usefulness. 487 data points were collected from customers across the various regions in Ghana. The results suggest that perceived self-efficacy and perceived ease of use have a favourable impact on continuance usage intention towards digital banking services. Most importantly, perceived usefulness emerged as a favourable mediator on the perceived self-efficacy - continuance usage intention relationship as well as perceived ease of use – continuance usage intention affiliation. This study is not only providing beneficial theoretical implications for digital transformation research and the enhancement of continuance usage intention towards digital banking services. It also creates an awareness of the contribution of perceived self-efficacy and perceived ease of use towards digital banking services continuance as well as providing guidelines on the need to concentrate on investing in digital technologies within the banking sector. Further, the survey helps organizations reconsider their digital expertise when designing digital banking service platforms.

Abstract
In the past couple of decades, the field of digitalization has grown in popularity. Given the substantial amount of research supporting its significance, it can be stated that this phenomenon manages to make its presence felt in any field at the moment, including the air traffic sector. The discussed effects may be seen in almost every element of air transport, whether it is the performance of the aircraft or the passengers' experience from the moment of ticket purchase to the completion of the flight. Between 2009 and 2019, air passenger revenue worldwide increased by 63%, from 374 billion $ to 612 billion $. Before COVID-19, air travel increased significantly. As part of the fourth industrial revolution, the digital transformation manages to change organizational paradigms and working practices while improving performance. Having this in mind, we aimed to identify the impact of digitalization in air flights domain, and what measures could be applied to reduce CO2 emissions. A bibliometric study of the previously conducted research in the area was performed using the Biblioshiny library, based on a set of extracted articles pertinent to the effects of digitalization on the aviation field. The viewpoints of this research emphasise the benefits of digital transformation and highlight the necessity of digitalization in all industries, particularly air traffic.

Authors: Gheorghe Maria 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This study contains both a qualitative and a quantitative approach regarding the correlation between digitalization and sustainable development and the significance level of the impact that digitalization might have on sustainable development. In order to conduct the research, the dependent and independent variables were selected. We selected as a dependent variable representing the sustainable development, the Social Progress Index and as independent variables, representing the digitalization area, the share of enterprises turnover on e-commerce and share of Individuals who have never used the internet. The database was created for 24 European countries for a period of 6 years (2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022). The main conclusion of the study indicates to a strong direct correlation between the Social Progress Index and the share of enterprises turnover on e-commerce and a strong and reverse correlation between the Social Progress Index and the share of Individuals who have never used the internet. Also, based on the linear regression model, we can affirm that for the selected period of time and for the 24 European countries, the increase with one unit of the social progress index, the enterprises turnover on e-commerce (%) increases with 2.06 units. As well, at the increase with one unit of the social progress index, the percentage of the individuals who never used the internet increases with 0.18 (decreases). However, the current model has its own limitations based on the restricted number of variables and time period considered in the database.
