“…As Kaur et al. stated, “the long-term success of firms can only be ensured if they adapt their strategic and structural orientation as per the changing environmental and technological scenario” ( Kaur et al., 2019 , p. 44). Two emergent theoretical and practical fields related to the environment and technology are sustainability and Industry 4.0, respectively.…”

The concept of sustainability has been gaining importance and influencing the development of an approach towards employees referred to as sustainable HRM (SHRM). HR development is one of the principles of SHRM that should be implemented consistently along with other SHRM principles, which means, e.g., that the development of employees should be carried out having a long-term perspective in mind. It is crucial to acquire the so-called competencies of the future as the basis for implementing the idea of Industry 4.0. The purpose of the article is to present the development of human potential in an organization against the background of other detailed sustainable HRM principles, to be followed by confronting the theory and the research results on the development of future competencies referring to industrial engineers in Poland as the professional group responsible for implementing the idea of cleaner production and Industry 4.0. The Author analyzed the results of three research projects based on the survey method and representative data from Eurostat and Statistics Poland. The conducted research shows that industrial companies in Poland have more of a short-sighted perspective when it comes to developing the potential of their engineers. The HR development practices focusing only on current needs are not in line with the SHRM principles of a long-term perspective and flexibility. There is also a visible lack of employee participation in the process of making training-related decisions, which is another principle of sustainable HRM. In addition, environmental sustainability remains a neglected area of knowledge in terms of training, and the cooperation with external educational institutions is low. It results in certain implications for HR managers and educational institutions. The article also presents directions for further research.

“…The fact that the oil-rich countries in the Middle East have been struggling to reduce their dependence on oil and that they are beginning to focus on human resource development proves that human capital is the key to a better future welfare (Budhwar et al, 2018). As stated by Kaur et al (2019), the key to organizational performance in this dynamic world also depends on an ambidextrous and dynamic adjustment approach focusing on a balance between continuity and strategic change. Advanced technology such as cognitive computing can help to integrate the information and knowledge required for both operational and strategic decisions.…”

PurposeThis study aims to explore the mediating role of strategy. First, we examine whether strategy mediates the relationship between competitive pressure and SPM. Second, we examine whether the strategy mediates the relationship between stakeholder pressure and SPM.Design/methodology/approachThis study is designed as a quantitative study by utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in order to test the hypotheses. A mediation model for the research framework was developed to investigate the mediating role of strategy.FindingsUsing a sample of 546 managers from higher education institutions (HEIs) in Indonesia, the results show that both competitive pressure and stakeholder pressure have a positive direct effect on SPM. Strategy fully mediates the relationship between competitive pressure and SPM and strategy also partially mediates the relationship between stakeholder pressure and SPM. The findings suggest that the management of the HEIs in Indonesia needs to accommodate the dynamic trends in the competitive environment and the stakeholder’s interests when they develop the strategy used. They need to build a reliable SPM to effectively execute the strategy.Research limitations/implicationsThis study has the following limitations: (1) the use of PLS-SEM may raise the issue of causality; (2) this study focuses only on the antecedents of the SPM, and therefore future studies should investigate the consequences of the SPM on other variables; (3) this study is context-specific for Indonesia and caution should be used when generalizing it to other countries; (5) this study employs the primary data that may raise the issue of perception bias, and therefore future studies should try to develop proxies of variables using secondary data.Practical implicationsThis research provides a comprehensive understanding of the management of HEIs who wants to enhance their SPM. This suggests that management needs to verify the role of strategy. In the era of global competition in higher education, management needs to start from the dynamics of competitive intensity and stakeholder interest. Competition and cooperation need to be considered in their strategies if they want to survive in the higher education industry. Finally, management must be aware that they are now assessed using quantitative indicators, standardized processes, and algorithms, and therefore they need to have a more reliable SPM.Social implicationsAs the global competition increases in higher education, this research provides a model on how to improve the good university governance involving the strategy and the SPM. Higher education plays an extremely important role in society. This study provides a model that can be used by society to have better control of the HEIs by demanding improved good governance. This research provides empirical evidence of the importance of the strategy and the SPM. The society will get more benefits in terms of improved transparency, accountability, fairness, and responsibility of the HEIs.Originality/valueThis is the first study that explores the links between competitive pressure, stakeholder pressure, strategy and SPM in Indonesian HEIs. It provides empirical evidence in the HEIs research setting for the industry/organization (I/O) theory of competitive advantage which focuses on the external factors. It also supports the resource-based view (RBV) model of competitive advantage which focuses on internal factors.

Studies have linked e-government failures (primarily its adoption and development) to factors such as design shortcomings and design-reality gaps. With the increased availability of big data and analytical techniques, government agencies must leverage data-driven models in the design and implementation of electronic government (e-government) or digital government solutions. By doing so, minimizing design-reality gap problems and design shortcomings is attainable. Backed by stakeholder theory and the Agile design methodology, this study proposes a cognitive computing framework as an efficient approach to the design of public sector electronic services (e-services) so as to obtain value. Cognitive computing was deemed appropriate for inclusion into the Agile methodology for e-government design because of its rapid frequency of expansion of data for which the human mind is limited in analytical ability as well as the desire by policy makers to reduce burdens and cost against the desire for more tailored solutions. With respect to research, cognitive computing models present a novel means of implementing human-centric and data-driven processes into practical domains of discourse and these models have yet to be integrated into the e-government sphere. By applying design thinking, the proposed model is built and tested in the UPPAAL model-checking software by applying the principle of finite state deterministic automatons. Theoretical and practical contributions are made to the fields of e-government, Agile methodology, and quality service delivery. Future research recommendations for expansion and building evaluation metrics are also indicated in the study.
