Improving employee performance is one of the main levers for companies to achieve their goals. The detachment of work from place is a growing trend, affecting the performance levels of both employees and employers. The purpose of this research was to assess job satisfaction in telework conditions, based on areas considered decisive and evaluated by specific items. To this end, an opinion questionnaire was created, the information was processed with correlation analysis and regression analysis. This study showed that job satisfaction in telework is associated with higher skills, autonomy, and a favorable organizational climate, but also with a higher level of emotional exhaustion generated by constant access to work, as well as the lack of relationships and mentoring. We found a statistically significant positive link between competencies, autonomy, organizational climate, and job satisfaction. Significant differences were observed in the perception of job satisfaction with respect to the gender dimension, as well as between employees of various age categories.

Culture is the mark we leave on history, and cultural infrastructure supports the quality of life of people in a community. This paper describes the interaction between sustainable development (an economic component, GDP per capita, and a social component, poverty) and cultural infrastructure in the cases of France and Romania, through a comparative analysis and how multidisciplinary education can help strengthen this link. To achieve this goal, the authors used linear regression combined with bibliometric analyses (a hybrid model), which gives this paper originality. This systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis will help to map the culture, education, and sustainable development sector and to establish new research directions. The authors of this study identified four future research themes and formulated policy recommendations and a practical smart technology solution in the context of sustainability.

This chapter highlights some aspects of the contribution of TA to enhancing environmental performance. The main objectives of this chapter are to highlight aspects related to the TA and its implications for its use as an efficient method in ensuring decision support in the environmental reports of an economic entity. This implies the transition to a larger geographic scale of national economies and, implicitly, the global economy, from a linear economy to a circular economy that should not only involve the recycling of resources but also the green reporting requirement. All aspects presented by the authors are based on the existing specialized literature, university studies, and specialty from all over the world. A new conceptual and empirical framework has been developed as a result of the issues debated and presented by the authors, whose purpose is to extend the knowledge of specialists from all over the world, as well as challenging other equally interesting new research themes.
