The COVID-19 pandemic gives us the largest telework experiment ever conducted globally, that will most likely leave visible and lasting marks on the organization of the labor market in the future. The purpose of this approach is to investigate the wellbeing from the social and emotional perspective of the individual, considering relevant relational communication, emotional dimension, work intensity, organization, autonomy and work–life balance, customized in the context of teleworking. The information was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. The wellbeing assessment was performed based on the correlation analysis and the regression analysis. The results of the studies reveal that the existence of adequate communication and work–life balance ensure the wellbeing of telework employees, while the increase in work intensity degrades it. Furthermore, good communication moderates the relationship between organizational skills and wellbeing. The comparative analysis of wellbeing in relation to the explanatory variables considered by including the gender and age perspective reveals the existence of different configurations, with specific signs and statistical meanings.

The European Parliament has declared 2023 as the European Year of Skills, which will give new impetus to lifelong learning. In this way, both citizens and economic entities will contribute to the green and digital transition, supporting innovation, creativity and competitiveness, in a world governed by the impulse of artificial intelligence. The objectives of the article consist in redefining the skills required on the labour market, in the context of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the consequences of the implementation of the AI system in economic and business education. In order to achieve these objectives, the authors used mixed research. Data were collected for 27 countries and 13 indicators, in the period of 2015–2021, from the database of the CEDEFOP and were processed with PASW (quantitative research). Qualitative research in the design science of the automation of repetitive processes within economic processes, specifically the economic process of managing special orders, used the experiment as a working tool. The research results indicate certain correlations between various indicators, which will impose a series of changes in the academic environment in terms of adapting disciplines to new requirements, in order to insert new knowledge related to the understanding and use of intelligent technologies.

Higher education institutions are increasingly concerned with providing students with sustainable education by developing the necessary competencies for various roles in the business environment. To be more effective, courses must develop technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) competencies in an integrated manner. SAP is a tool that yields this possibility through the diversity of IT solutions by ensuring a significant increase in employability rates. Learning SAP is a competitive advantage because it helps with all aspects of digital transformation within the concept of Industry 4.0. Our research aims to investigate to what extent students perceive that they have acquired the knowledge and competencies specific to the three dimensions of the TOE framework within the SAP course. We have added a fourth dimension to the TOE framework: the learning context (L) considering the impact of the educational environment on perceived learning outcomes. Data collection was based on a questionnaire distributed to students enrolled in the SAP course in the academic year 2023–2024 at Bucharest University of Economic Studies (BUES). The data were processed using correlation and regression analysis. Reconfiguring the content elements of SAP courses based on the TOE framework would ensure greater effectiveness in the learning process.

According to the International Maritime Organization, the shipping industry contributes to 3.3% of global CO₂ emissions. Reducing carbon emissions by 50% for all ships by 2050 is the main concern of all stakeholders. In the last 20 years, the share of renewable energy sources in electricity production in the European Union has doubled, from around 15% to almost 35%. The main driver of this development has been the increase in the share of wind energy and solar photovoltaic energy. The authors of this paper aim to analyze the favorable influencing factors and the inhibiting factors affecting the energy transition process applied to nautical tourism, from polluting energy to renewable solar energy. The research approach consists of using the framework provided by the energy transition process from the perspective of the socio-technical and economic approach, by applying a qualitative research method with a deductive approach. The tool used to achieve the objective is a semi-structured interview, which brings up concrete issues that operators in this field are currently facing. The research unitarily, holistically, and specifically approaches the problem of energy transition from polluting sources to renewable ones offered by solar energy, in the case of nautical tourism with direct implications on the specific industry in The Netherlands. The research results are structured in four areas: technological, governance, economic, and user preferences. This research has the potential to provide support for finding optimal solutions to encourage users to accelerate the energy transition process by adopting sustainable solutions for nautical tourism.

This research paper investigates the impact of macroeconomic and institutional factors on the development of capital markets, measured as the ratio of market capitalization to gross domestic product (GDP), on panel data from 47 stock exchanges, both mature and developing markets, from 2008 to 2020. Despite overall economic growth and an increase in market capitalization to GDP ratio between 2008 and 2020, nearly half of the markets experienced negative trends in the post-pandemic and wartime period of 2020. Key findings from regression and VAR models highlight the significant influence of local bank credit, political stability, and broad money on capital market development, with a positive long-term impact of lending interest rates, but a negative effect of foreign direct investment on market capitalization. Policy recommendations include focusing on political stability, promoting financial intermediation, improving SME access to credit, and maintaining moderate inflation and low-interest rates to foster a stable investment environment and encourage public participation in capital markets through education initiatives.
