Although the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced manufacturing technologies, and cloud manufacturing contribute to developing a digital manufacturing ecosystem that enhances energy efficiency and resource utilization, manufacturing processes are vulnerable to timely production and delivery. The digital manufacturing systems in Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) minimized the human-technology interactions to foster productivity and material flow. However, there is scarce research to gauge the efficiency of these digital technologies in the entire manufacturing process; also, little is known about the collaborative efforts among countries to achieve sustainable manufacturing performance through the digitalization of the production process. Thus, this systematic review aimed to highlight the effectiveness of the digital manufacturing systems for sustainable product development and the collaborative research on the subject. We selected 52 research articles for this review by following the 2015 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA) statement. The literature classifications were developed using text frequency algorithms in VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands) Results exposed literature from 2005 to 2020 can be categorized into four major research streams: digital transformation, digital manufacturing ecosystem, performance management, and sustainability. The study’s findings revealed that the manufacturing processes are moving towards the IoT, digital devices, and smart factories that are entirely dependent on digital technologies. The digital manufacturing ecosystem is dependent on the availability of digital technologies to all stakeholders. The study concluded that digital technologies are improving manufacturing efficiency and process effectiveness. However, this requires infrastructure that primarily available in developed countries; thus, the digital transformation in underdeveloped regions is deliberate and requires more collaborative research.

A vast majority of research characterizes organizational politics as an aversive phenomenon and thus recommends exploring the factors that minimize its intensity. This study primarily endeavored to examine the role of high performance work practices (HPWPs) in controlling organizational politics. The moderating influence of Machiavellian personalities on HPWPs- politics was also evaluated. Through a questionnaire survey, 243 responses were obtained from engineers working in a local industrial area of capital city of Pakistan. The results showed an inverse relationship between HPWPs and perceived organizational politics (POP), and the moderating role of Machiavellianism was substantiated. Practical implications are presented based on the study results.

End-of-life waste disposal is a major issue in Malaysia, where the country’s economy has suffered due to waste recovery issues. Many countries have successfully identified critical materials and products for increasing recycling rates, but not in Malaysia. Thus, the Malaysian government and businesses have had difficulty prioritising products for recycling. The absence of critical materials data has meant that a recovery strategy could not be planned wisely. In addition, the Product Recycling Desirability Model that was utilised by many countries to improve their recycling strategy could not be applied to Malaysia, as it requires critical materials data as input. To start with, Malaysia’s important materials have been identified. Next, two risk dimensions are defined: supply risk and material risk. The indicators are then weighted according to Malaysia’s scenarios. The scores are analyzed and applied to the Product Desirability Model to find desirable products for recycling. As a result, 89 materials were classified as critical to Malaysia’s economy, with palladium, rhodium, gold, platinum, and tellurium ranking first through to fifth. Critical materials scoring was used for the first time in Malaysia to comprehend the Product Recycling Desirability Model, a tool for prioritizing products for recycling. Additional analysis reveals that car batteries, tyres, PET bottles, mobile phones, and DVD-R are the top five most important recyclable products in Malaysia. With the material security database readily available and the novel evaluation system being employed to prioritize critical material supply, using risk supply and material security for Malaysia, the government, or private sector, can strategically start to implement recycling policies and initiatives to strengthen recycling efforts, which help to increase recycling rates.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of leadership styles, specifically on transformational leadership and transactional leadership in R&D team performance of researcher in UniversitiTeknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). Further, this study was to examine the impact of knowledge sharing on R&D team performance as mediating variables. Methodology: The survey method was adopted to carry out the research. A structured Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used for data collection. R&D team performance was assessed based on measures of performance. Regression and Correlation statistical techniques were used to analyze the data elicited from one hundred seventy two (172) randomly selected respondents. Main Findings: It was revealed from the study that while transformational leadership style had a positive impact on R&D team performance; transactional leadership style also had a positive impact on R&D team performance. It was also revealed from the study that knowledge sharing have significant and positive relationship with mediate both transformational leadership and transactional leadership on R&D team performance. Implications/Applications: This research shows that R&D teams also can use the full range leadership styles although there are comparisons of uniqueness that exists in the R&D teams with other contexts. This is because leading an R&D team requires the leader to possess certain skills in addition to technical expertise, such as spreading information regarding technical advances, being knowledgeable regarding current professional activities and possessing strategic planning skills in an innovative climate where the team is not permanent or lasts only for a short period of time. This research confirmed that leadership styles led to significant team performance benefits such as an increase achievement of technical objectives, efficiency of resource utilization and other achievements. Novelty/Originality: This study has successfully extended the full leadership literature by conceptualizing how the transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles positively impact the R&D team's performance. Hence, the findings in this study may be beneficial and act as a framework or a limitation for other studies.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the influence of LMX (Leader-Member Exchange), POS (Perceived Organizational Support), and OC (Organizational Commitment) on OCB (Organizational Citizenship Behavior) within the setting of savings and loan cooperatives in Indonesia.   Method : The research method involves collecting data from 150 employees working in savings and loan cooperatives using a questionnaire. PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) is used as the statistical method to analyze the data. Results and Conclusion: The research findings indicate that there is a direct positive relationship between LMX and OCB, but no direct positive relationship between POS and OCB. Additionally, there is a direct relationship between LMX and POS with OC. The study also found that OC acts as a mediator in the relationship between LMX and OCB, as well as the relationship between POS and OCB. Research Implications: The results of this study have significant implications for the management of savings and loan cooperatives in Indonesia. Cooperative leaders can pay more attention to the quality of leader-member exchange (LMX) and perceived organizational support (POS) as both directly influence the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of employees. Moreover, understanding the role of OC as a mediator can help enhance the effectiveness of employee behavior development programs within cooperatives. Top of Form Originatity/Values: This research represents a pioneering effort to study organizational citizenship behavior in the unique Indonesian context of savings and loan cooperatives. The new insights gleaned from this research make valuable contributions to the existing literature, open opportunities for further research, and offer workable guidance for cooperative management to optimize employee performance and organizational effectiveness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether holistic intelligence and organizational support have an impact on organizational commitment, which affects lecturer performance. Theoretical framework: The spiritual intelligence (SQ) denotes the ability to handle challenges and perceive one’s behavior and existence in a more comprehensive and significant framework. In simpler terms, it refers to the aptitude to assess the worth and significance of one’s actions or lifestyle. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was quantitative research with an explanatory research approach. 360 lecturers at state universities served as the sample, which represented the population of lecturers at state universities in Yogyakarta in 2021. The data analysis applied the Structural Equation Model (SEM) method with the assistance of AMOS 24. Findings: According to the findings of the initial research, organizational assistance had a positive impact on the level of performance of teachers. According to the second finding, there was no evidence to protect the relationship between holistic intelligence and teaching. The third consequence was that institutional support had a positive impact on the entity's commitment. The fourth discovery shows how holistic intelligence influenced organizational engagement. Research, practical & social implications: Based on the analysis’s findings, organizational support has an impact on performance at state universities when it is mediated by commitment support. Furthermore, if commitment support at state universities serves as a mediator, holistic intelligence has an impact on performance. Originality/Value: An individual who is provided with support will be encouraged to enhance their productivity as an act of loyalty. Additionally, if an employee has a strong sense of commitment, their work will improve because of their increased loyalty to the organization. lecturers who have strong holistic intelligence will tend to have a strong commitment if the work environment participates in providing support.
