“…Furthermore, HEIs leadership can provide platforms for co-creation and collaboration among faculties and disciplines, which may have a greater impact on their initiatives. Good governance can also coordinate the organization of inputs from different backgrounds, such as scientific and societal, creating initiatives that may help solve complex real-world problems (de Giesenbauer & Müller-Christ, 2020 ; Queiroz Machado et al, 2022 ). Aside from the initiatives practiced on campus, as mentioned above, higher education administrators can collaborate to create programs and initiatives with collective action to assist in researching and embedding sustainability within surrounding communities.…”

Governance is a key component for implementing sustainable development (SD) initiatives in university teaching, research, and projects. This line of thinking also applies to implementing the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs). Despite the role of governance in guiding processes related to the SDGs, few studies have examined these relations in an integrative manner in higher education. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study assesses the connections between governance and implementing the SDGs at higher education institutions (HEIs). Specifically, it relies on two main methods. The first is a bibliometric analysis, where the literature on the topic has been analyzed. The second method uses case studies from a sample of universities. The combined dual approach has identified the extent to which governance issues influence how these organizations perceive and handle the SDGs. The study provides valuable recommendations that may assist HEIs in implementing the SDGs with a due emphasis on governance.

“…Moreover, there is a growing interest in the role of employees' IQ in developing SHRM-related research and its negative impact on organisational sustainability (Shaw et al, 2005). Sustainability is the ability to perform continuously, support or maintain a process over time and organisational sustainability describes leadership, endowments, global insights and change strategies to meet future challenges (Haque, 2021a, b, c;de Queiroz et al, 2022). According to Lozano (2018), examples of organisational sustainability included "individuals-organisation-global environment relations; organisational culture within the context of corporate sustainability; initiatives to embed sustainability into companies; organisational change management for sustainability; and links between assessment and reporting and organisational change management" (p. 1).…”

PurposeLimited empirical research has been conducted on the mediational influence of employees' intent to quit (IQ) and strategic human resource management (SHRM) to examine meaningfulness in work (MW) and job satisfaction (JS). Applying the psychological contract theory (PCT), this paper aims to explore the relationships among SHRM, IQ, MW, and JS; and the mediational influence of IQ on the relationship between SHRM and MW.Design/methodology/approachThis paper examines a proposed hypothesised model with a two-stage technique of structural equation modelling, including four propositions. A web-based survey including a pilot test was directed to collect data targeting a sample of 200 full time Bangladeshi employees.FindingsThe results indicate that SHRM has significant effects on employees' IQ and MW, and IQ has a partial mediational impact on the direct relationship between SHRM and MW. Moreover, employees' IQ on MW was negative, and MW on JS was significantly positive among Bangladeshi employees.Practical implicationsThis paper suggests that organisations aiming higher MW and JS should encourage SHRM and align their HRM functions accordingly. Furthermore, the implications of the study results can help organisations and HR managers to recognise the adverse effects of IQ on MW and the effective implementation of SHRM for higher MW and JS.Originality/valueDespite the significant relationship between HRM and employee motivation, limited empirical research has been conducted on the mediational influence of IQ from PCT. Therefore, this paper examines the unique mediational role of IQ on the relationship between SHRM and MW, which has not been utterly observed from a developing nation's employee perspective.

“…First, innovation and knowledge can contribute to improving people’s living conditions in areas such as transport, production, medicine, and energy (Szopik-Depczyńska et al, 2018a ). Second, all sustainability dimensions can be positively influenced by the outcomes of new technologies (de Queiroz Machado et al, 2021 ). In addition, entrepreneurship in all its forms has become one of the main economic and social drivers of innovation (López-Rubio et al, 2020 , 2021 ).…”

National and international organizations have introduced policies aimed at sustainable development. These policies are designed to encourage sustainable forms of business to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. Regional inequalities in sustainable development may be exacerbated by disparate levels of innovation. This paper analyzes the variations between clusters of countries according to the degree to which they have achieved the SDGs and their levels of innovation facilitators. Two types of analyses were employed. First, cluster analysis was used to examine changes in groups of regions with similar innovation characteristics between 2015 and 2020. Data for 122 countries were gathered from the World Bank, the SDG Index, and the Global Innovation Index. Second, multiple linear regression analysis was used to assess the power of the variables in the model to explain the level of sustainable development. The results reveal four clusters (low, medium, high, and very high innovative facilitators and sustainable development), as well as movements between those clusters from 2015 to 2020. The multiple linear regression analysis shows that the variables have explanatory power with respect to the dependent variable of sustainable development. This analysis also reveals different degrees of importance of the variables for each cluster. The findings highlight the need to consider the limitations of economic growth in terms of innovation facilitators to promote sustainable development. If policymakers recognize the limitations of economic growth and the physical ecosystem, degradation of the environment can be avoided, even when there is innovation. Global and individual social welfare can thus be ensured. This study offers valuable insights into how to achieve sustainable development through innovation facilitators by providing in-depth knowledge of the individual characteristics of innovation systems and considering the limitations of economic growth.
