The prime objective of the current study is to examine the impact of knowledge sharing and employee ambidexterity on the sustainable performance of manufacturing firms operating in the KPK province of Pakistan. In addition to this, the study has examined the mediating role of employees’ ambidexterity in the relationship between knowledge sharing and sustainable performance. The final sample included 240 respondents, which represented a response rate of 68%. The study employed SEM-PLS for data analysis. The results indicate that the employee’s ambidexterity fully mediates between knowledge sharing and sustainable performance. Knowledge sharing appears as a significant determinant of employees’ ambidexterity and sustainable performance. Meanwhile, the employee’s ambidexterity also has a positive and significant relationship with sustainable performance. In the field of Management Sciences and other disciplines, knowledge sharing is considered a significant field of study. Globally, very little research has targeted these variables. This research offers conceptual highlights for developing the influence of knowledge sharing on the sustainable performance of employees particularly in the manufacturing sector.

This study reviews and integrates the literature to develop a conceptual model to synchronize financial management with human resource management (HRM) and total quality management (TQM) to achieve hospitality excellence in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Based on the studies on TQM implementation, HRM practices, and integrated management, the framework emphasizes the strategic integration of budgeting, employee development, and quality initiatives, leading to a system-wide impact. Some key components include budgeting in line with quality goals, quality culture driven by HR, and technology-powered quality management. A description of a theoretical framework and a table of mechanisms (e.g., strategic investment, training programs) and possible effects are presented. The framework suggests that an integrated approach fosters greater guest satisfaction, competitive performance, and sustainable growth than isolated functional strategies. Implications for theory and practice in the UAE hospitality sector are discussed based on this synthesis.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) hospitality sector is experiencing a strategic shift as organizations incorporate sustainability principles into human resource management practices. This chapter presents a comprehensive framework to show how strategic HRM in the UAE hospitality industry can promote sustainability across environmental, social, and economic aspects. Based on recent literature (2020–2025), this review emphasizes green HRM initiatives that lessen environmental impact, diversity and inclusion programs (including Emiratization efforts) that boost social sustainability, and employee well-being, that support both social and economic sustainability. The chapter discusses key concepts like green HRM, sustainable HRM, and the triple bottom line. The chapter discusses key concepts like green HRM, sustainable HRM, and the triple bottom line. To summarize, by incorporating sustainability into strategic HRM, UAE hotels can improve environmental performance, social responsibility, and economic resilience while aligning with the national vision and global best practices.

To politically, socially, and economically mainstream the former Federally Administered Triable Areas (FATA), the Federal Government 2018 merged them into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. Hence, a shift from traditional triable government to contemporary administrative systems took place in these regions. This study systematically reviews and explores the progress, achievements, challenges, critical lessons, and experiences learned from post-conflict reconstruction and local governance reforms in the Newly Merged Districts (NMDs). To serve these objectives, the current study collected data in the fields, from the official papers, and the latest literature in this context. The study identified major hurdles faced by the stakeholders in reconstruction efforts, such as widespread devastation of infrastructure, inadequate administrative capacity, historical distrust between government institutions and local populations, deeply rooted poverty, and continued security concerns. Furthermore, the study highlighted the significant reforms, including judicial integration, administrative restructuring, and the introduction of local government elections, ensuring sustained governance and community participation. This highlighted the significance of a participatory approach that empowers marginalized groups (e.g., women) through development programs, involvement of civil society, capacity building, and involvement of civil society and internal organizations to promote transparency, accountability, human rights, and stronger community-state relationships.

This study explores further the impacts of the relationship between autumntime mean sea level pressure (MSLP) over the Indian Ocean and autumntime precipitation over Tasmania. We employ a combination of cross-correlation analysis, Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), and covariance measures to unravel this intricate connection. Our results reveal that MSLP over the Indian Ocean significantly influences Tasmania’s autumn precipitation, particularly in the region extending from 125°E eastward and from 35°S southward. This MSLP-precipitation link is statistically significant, characterized by a Pearson’s coefficient of correlation of 0.63 (p < 0.05). In addition, we calculate the Root Mean Square Covariance (RMSC) to gauge the strength of this association. The RMSC value, calculated at 0.33, surpasses the threshold of 0.1, emphasizing a robust and significant connection between autumntime MSLP and precipitation in Tasmania. Our results emphasize that the first leading mode of SVD accounts for 84% of the variability in both MSLP over the Indian Ocean and precipitation in Tasmania. These results contribute to a more profound understanding of the factors governing autumn precipitation in Tasmania and offer valuable insights for meteorological and climate science.
