• Exploring the determinants of accounting education in higher education institutions: evidence from Greece  
  by George Drogalas, Aikaterini Chasiotou, Andreas Koutoupis, Leonidas Davidopoulos, Alexandra Merkouri 
  Abstract: Accounting education faces many challenges that are inherent from the past, while it is expected to face more in the future. However, these challenges as well as the way accounting community approaches them shape the perceptions on the profession and academic discipline itself. We employ a Likert scale survey in order to shape our variables (drawbacks in accounting education, technology implementation in teaching, innovative teaching methods, internship contribution to the assimilation of accounting knowledge, technical knowledge and soft skills and employability through internship) that least square and ordinal regression models examine their relationship with the perceptions variable. We provide evidence from Greece that internships contribution in the assimilation of accounting knowledge and technical knowledge and soft skills nurtured at the university exert a significant and positive effect on perceptions regarding accounting education, while perceptions determinants regarding accountancy is of the essence in order to reexamine the accounting education.
  Keywords: accounting education; perceptions; accounting skills; employability; accounting internship; Greece.

• Work-from-home stressors and work-life conflict among working women: a sequential mediation of role overload and emotional exhaustion  
  by Ranu Srivastava, Vidya Dayinee Sharan, Mukul Kumar Shrivastava, Ruchi Rayat, Parul Gaba, Sarita Chaudhary 
  Abstract: This research paper will explore the effects of work-from-home stressors (WFS) on work-life conflict (WLF) among employed women in the Indian IT industry, and the mediating effects of role overload (RO) and emotional exhaustion (EE). To achieve a cross-sectional research design, primary data were collected from 433 respondents using a structured questionnaire comprising 30 items based on existing scales. The results show that WFS has a considerable positive effect on RO, EE, and WLF. Moreover, RO has a strong impact on EE and WLF, and EE has a great positive impact on WLF. Mediation analysis proves the mediation of RO and EE in the relations between WFS and WLF separately and in series. The research emphasises the importance of structural and psychological processes in the development of work-life conflict and offers implications for the management of the remote work problem among working women.
  Keywords: work-from-home stressors; WFS; work-life conflict; WLF; role overload; emotional exhaustion; working women.

• Moderating role of ethical leadership in the relationship between organisational justice and knowledge management  
  by Ifeoma Gloria Duruzor, Friday Ogbu Edeh, Blessing Friday Edeh, Desmond Neji Oben, Collins Irem Okechukwu, Nurul Mohammad Zayed, Kevin Chukwuoyims Egwu, Ogbonnaya Eze Nweze, Kingsley Sunday Uzoadigonma Oyekezie, Vitalii S. Nitsenko, Maureen Chichi Anyalor, Bethel Udokah Oganezi 
  Abstract: Knowledge management has been a significant challenge for service enterprises, particularly when employees are not treated fairly at work. It was this unfair treatment at the workplace that gave rise to the clamour for the enthronement of ethical leadership in the service sector to moderate the link between organisational justice and knowledge management. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating role of ethical leadership in the relationship between organisational justice and knowledge management in the hospitality industry using equity theory and a cross-sectional research design. The findings revealed a significant relationship between organisational justice and knowledge management. Ethical leadership moderated only the relationship between distributive justice and knowledge acquisition. This study is novel and original because very little research has used ethical leadership as a moderator between organisational justice and knowledge management in four-star hotels in south-eastern Nigeria.
  Keywords: organisational justice; knowledge management; knowledge acquisition; knowledge utilisation; ethical leadership.

• From stigma to strength: a systematic and bibliometric review of LGBTQ+ resilience using ADO-TCCM frameworks  
  by Kashish Dua, Kanupriya Misra Bakhru 
  Abstract: The scientific investigation of LGBTQ+ resilience has proliferated swiftly within psychology, sociology, public health, and policy studies. However, not much thought has gone into seeing it as a learning-based adaptive process that brings about change at the personal, community, and institutional levels. This study synthesises evidence from 35 reviewed articles and analyses publication patterns across 231 Scopus-indexed articles. A dual-method approach combines a systematic literature review following the SPAR-4-SLR protocol with bibliometric analysis using Biblioshiny to identify publication trends, key contributors, and thematic evolution. The findings indicate that LGBTQ+ resilience develops through iterative learning processes triggered by structural adversity and discrimination across individual, relational, and institutional levels. Existing research remains predominantly qualitative and Western-focused. This study advances the field by reconceptualising LGBTQ+ resilience as a dynamic learning and change system that links adversity, adaptive learning, and systemic transformation, offering an integrative framework for future research, policy, and practice.
  Keywords: LGBTQ+ resilience; transformative learning; organisational change; bibliometric analysis; TCCM framework; ADO framework.
