Azerbaijan's dynamic and diverse retail landscape is driving an escalating demand for motivated personnel, both locally and globally, to address sustainable development requirements. In competitive and demanding retail environments, the success of organizations can rely on confident, skilled, motivated, and informed employees to meet challenging business demands and inclusive growth. As Azerbaijan's retail competitive edge continues to expand, there is a heightened need for effective employer-employee interactions and strategic human capital to navigate intricate organizational hurdles. The targeted population for this study included current retail employees, and semi-structured in-depth interviews with 15 participants from 15 different retail service organizations were conducted. Hence, this research study addresses a crucial gap in leadership literature by examining the interplay between destructive leadership and employees' psychological empowerment, encompassing dimensions like meaningfulness, self-determination, competence, and impact. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the study delves into the real-life experiences of employees within the Azerbaijani retail sector. The study concludes that destructive leadership can significantly hamper employees' psychological empowerment, resulting in negative impacts on their work role orientation, engagement, productivity, and commitment.

“…With respect to the education sector, Babayev (2021) underlines the need for continued investments in education so as to train highly qualified personnel, especially in the areas of health, applied mathematics, and engineering. Purhani et al (2022) state that an additional challenge facing Azerbaijan in its education sector are reductions in availability and quality due to social distancing in light of the recent health pandemic. This study fills the gap in the literature by estimating specific investment magnitudes for human capital in the UN SDG context.…”

Материалы и методы. Для исследования национальных экономических интересов стран Центральной Азии необходимо выявить их приоритетные направления в стратегиях национальной безопасности, в т.ч. внутренние и внешние вызовы и угрозы, препятствующие устойчивому развитию региона. В процессе исследования использовались методы анализа национальных документов стран Центральной Азии и России (законы, стратегии, концепции), а также методы сравнения и обобщения основных национальных интересов в экономической сфере. Результаты исследования. В статье выявлены особенности национальных экономических интересов стран Центральной Азии, определены приоритетные направления устойчивого развития исследуемых стран.
