“…For example, Unay-Gailhard and Bojnec point out the existence of significant differences between green and non-green jobs in terms of skills and human capital [33]. Green jobs require higher levels of non-routine cognitive skills, and a greater dependence on formal education, work experience and training [23]. However, the occupational risk that accompanies green jobs is not to be neglected, the exposure to bioaerosols, endotoxins and particles being particularly relevant [39].…”

In the past two decades the topic of “green jobs” has drawn particular attention, resulting in a widely diverse and relatively large number of published papers. Although a determinant for the increase of knowledge, the heterogeneity of these studies may raise the issue of a systematic documentation of the key contributions in this field. In this context, the present research focuses on analyzing the scientific literature published in the last five years on the topic of “green jobs” with the aim to identify definitions and meanings associated with the concept of “green jobs”, the connected terms, areas of research interest and the main theoretical and practical results. The results reveal that although there is no uniformity in the definition of the concept, there is still a convergence towards the initial meaning offered by the UNEP/ILO/IOE/ITUC Report of 2008. Moreover, using scientific software VOSViewer our research shows that the concept of “green jobs” is most linked with the following terms: sustainable development, the green economy, the circular economy, the welfare economy, the European Green Pact, energy, renewable energy, economic development, and employment. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that the studies focused on “green jobs” are mainly concerned with the following issues: green jobs creation, work-life balance, correlations between green business and green jobs and the role of local government in supporting green jobs.

“…Furthermore, Graso and Probst (2012) argued that quality and quantity are the most essential markers of job performance. Employee's contribution to fulfilling the tasks and jobs in order to make a positive work environment while eliminating negative or harmful acts is the definition given by Iddagoda et al (2021) for the construct of employee job performance. This serves as the working definition of this study.…”

Employee engagement develops positive attitudes towards the organization among employees. According to the researchers' knowledge, no investigation focused on investigating the mediating relationship of employee engagement between high-performance work practices, religiosity, personal character, leadership and work-family life balance, and job performance in the banking sector. Two hundred managers were randomly selected from banks in Sri Lanka and collected data using an online structured questionnaire. The results showed a mediating relationship of employee engagement between high-performance work practices, religiosity, and Job performance. The findings of this study add new knowledge to system theory and are essential for the policymakers and practionnaires to improve job performance in the banking sector. This study explores the relationship between high-performance work practices, religiosity, personal character, leadership and work-family life balance, and job performance and the mediating impact of employee engagement on the relationship between the variables in the banking sector. This study confirms the questionnaire's reliability and validity and adopts a partial least squares modeling method to examine the relationship. Our findings provided empirical evidence for the hypothesized relationships between employee engagement as a mediator between high-performance work practices, religiosity, and job performance. Our research findings have implications for policymakers and banking sector companies. Initially, it is essential to consider by policymakers such as the central bank Security Exchange Commission to introduce policies to improve high-performance work practices to improve job performance through employee engagement. In addition, Bank authorities should consider adopting religiosity and high-performance practices to improve job performance, which is essential to achieving higher organizational performance. The study's findings should be viewed in light of the study's limitations, which could open up a new research direction. Despite its usefulness in establishing the directional relationships among variables, cross-sectional surveying has limitations in drawing causal judgments. Future research can track the mediating relationship of employee engagement between religiousity and high-performance work practices over time using a longitudinal methodology. In addition, future researchers can establish a relationship with other sectors such as manufacturing, hospitality, plantations, etc, to generalize the results.

“…Some other studies failed to confirm EKC hypothesis (Bo, 2011). Additional studies (Iddagoda et al, 2021) were developed for different groups of countries in order to demonstrate the relationship be-tween economic development and environmental pollution (Panait et al, 2019), (Leitão et al, 2021), (Simionescu, 2021), (Badulescu et al, 2020), (Khan et al, 2016), (Sharif et al, 2020), (Armeanu et al, 2018), and (Armeanu et al, 2021).…”

In a context of multi-crises, as well as the challenges of both the medium and long term, associated with elements highlighted by the transformation of the EU energy system, we appreciate that not only is it a very difficult time to overcome efficiently and balanced EU Member States, but above all it is a time to activate research systems on identifying key solutions, as well as firm decisions at the level of decision-making institutions at the level of the European Institutions. Moreover, based on the latest European studies, systematic testing of ongoing initiatives can strategically prepare for an increase in the resilience of Member States’ economies to crisis shocks, as well as “the key to success Europe’s ecological transformation and climate neutrality of the EU economy in a broader sense.” The paper aims to highlight how to act at European level in the context of the latest energy decisions (regulations, strategies, pro-grams and directives) and how to stimulate “the EU economy with about 3.3% of EU GDP or EUR 464 billion in 2030 and up to EUR 5.6% or more than EUR 1 trillion in 2050.” At the same time, we appreciate that as a result of green energy, digitalization and technology, the environmental objective on the EU and UN net emissions in 2050 can be achieved, especially as a result of a fair and equitable transformation for the economic environment and for citizens, being an objective that directly contributes to achieving a sustainable, collaborative and prosperous society with an open and modern society, but more chosen efficiently in terms of resource optimization and a sustainable and competitive economy.
