Adopting Sustainability Competencies in Management Education - A Scoping Review of Progress
Patricia MacNeil,
Anshuman Khare
There is growing urgency to address society’s complex issues, many of which are incorporated within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Higher education has a special role and a responsibility to support and promote these goals and to prepare students for the complex challenges they will face as future leaders. The SDG framework helps students understand SDGs, but special competencies are necessary to address them effectively. Sustainability competencies (SCs) impart the personal/emotional development missing from current programming, but higher education institutions (HEIs) have been reluctant to introduce them into the curricula. Meanwhile, graduating students are ill-prepared for the complex problems, like sustainability, they will face as new managers and leaders. Our research question focused on identifying essential evidence that would support the implementation of SCs in HEIs. Our purpose was to raise awareness of the need for action in improving sustainability education and to assist in moving the issue forward. To enhance reading, we have purposefully included multiple sections that capture and highlight the essential information. We employed a Scoping Review (SR) to scope out the relevant literature that supported a credible model for SCs and to determine whether consensus was evident among scholars for such a model. Contrary to a commonly expressed theme in the literature, the results revealed that scholarly opinion had converged around a framework proposed by Wiek et al. [96] and the 2021 update [62]. A thematic analysis identified key barriers preventing integration in HEIs, including the absence of a comprehensive policy to direct the implementation and sustain the change. We discuss these barriers and how they may be addressed. Integrating SCs into ME responds to SDG-4 (quality education). The results are intended to generate action regarding the need to integrate SCs in Management Education (ME)—sooner than later. The conclusions drawn respond to SDG-4 (quality education). The study serves to increase awareness of the issues and barriers preventing much needed transformation of ME in HEIs and to stimulate discussion and potential action. Further research may involve a systematic review to inform much needed policy and implementation.

Leaders’ Calling and Employees’ Innovation: Mediating Role of Work Meaning and Moderating Effect of Supervisor’s Embodiment
Cao Yuyang,
Wen Peng,
Luo Liqiong
The objective of this research is to investigate whether and how leaders' sense of calling influences employees' innovative behavior, and to explore the conditions that may define the boundaries of this effect. This research, based on the theory of interpersonal sensemaking, conducted an empirical analysis using data from 186 pairs of supervisor-subordinate matching questionnaires and developed a moderated mediation model. We hypothesized and found that: firstly, leaders’ calling directly enhanced employees’ innovative behavior. Secondly, the relationship between the leaders’ calling and employees’ innovative behavior was mediated by employee’s sense of work meaning. Thirdly, the supervisor’s organizational embodiment positively regulated the relationship between the leaders’ calling and the employee’s sense of work meaning. Specifically, when the degree of supervisor’s organizational embodiment is higher, the relationship between the leaders’ calling and employee’s work meaning will be stronger. At the same time, the supervisor’s organizational embodiment positively regulates the mediating effect. Specifically, when the degree of supervisor’s organizational embodiment is higher, the mediating effect of employee’s work meaning is stronger.

From Neurons to Organisations: Awakening Regenerative Mindsets Through Neuroplasticity, AI, and Systemic Consciousness
Rachel Wei Gee Dr Ooi
The Urgent Need for Regenerative Organizational Development (OD)
We live in a VUCAV² context, which is made up of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, velocity-driven, vulnerability. This has shown us the big problems with traditional ways of developing organizations that focus on short-term efficiency, shareholder supremacy, and mechanistic structures. The increasing fragility of company ecosystems, driven by AI-induced labor revolutions, economic instabilities, ESG failures, and intergenerational wealth disruptions, necessitates a comprehensive overhaul of organizational resilience approach. Poor governance, leadership transition crises, unstable economies, and fluctuating capital control contribute to wealth disruptions across generations. All these factors jeopardize business resilience and longevity. As conventional enterprises grapple with sustaining generational leadership transitions, organizations must reconceptualize governance utilizing regenerative intelligence and adaptive resilience frameworks. This work presents a novel paradigm, Regenerative Organizational Development (ROD), to tackle these systemic issues. This is a robust system that employs AI-driven decision-making, neuroplastic leadership, productivity, well-being, and intergenerational longevity as essential facilitators of enduring business transformation.
This research is founded on Positive Organizational Psychology (POP) and the Theory of Hope. This analysis transcends the conventional emphasis on pleasure and well-being, as evidenced by Gallup and MIT Sloan research, to examine how systemic regeneration, hope, and purpose might enhance the adaptability of business ecosystems and the labor market in the long run, with enduring corporate and economic governance. Tata, the Rockefeller Foundation, Merck, Mitsui, and TPC Singapore exemplify intergenerational enterprises. Microsoft, Danone, and Unilever exemplify regenerative enterprises. Temasek, Bhutan's Gross National Happiness, and ASEAN's Regenerative Economy Initiatives exemplify governmental economic systems. These indicate that ROD is not an evolutionary derivative of OD but a fundamental framework for sustaining businesses and economies. We employed a mixed-method study to develop an empirical success model for ROD. The research employs longitudinal business case analyses, AI-driven models of organizational development impact, and assessments of psychological leadership adaptability. This study's principal conclusions indicate that organizations emphasizing psychological safety and well-being in leadership exhibit up to 70% more employee flexibility, demonstrating that humanized business models outperform mechanistic corporate governance systems.
AI-enabled organizational development improves decision-making in governance by 40% and mitigates risks related to systemic instability and market disruptions.
Following ROD principles, intergenerational businesses have been around for more than 100 years, showing that regenerative capitalism leads to long-term economic growth.
This thesis is pertinent to corporate sustainability, ESG governance, and organizational psychology as it illustrates the transition from mechanical organizational development to business models grounded in ecosystems and regeneration. This thesis gives business and policymakers scalable, evidence-based ways to include human well-being, AI governance, and regenerative capitalism in their long-term plans during times of systemic disruption.

Sustainable SMEs Performance: Knowledge Management, Human Resources Digital Transformation, and Innovation Capabilities – A Practical Approach to Business in the Digital Age
Isniar Budiarti,
Deri Firmansyah
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of knowledge management (KM), and human resources digital transformation (HRDT) on sustainable performance through innovation capabilities (IC) mediators among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The explanatory survey method was developed with a questionnaire as an instrument to collect data from 353 respondents selected as employees and SMEs in Indonesia. Theoretical confirmation to test hypotheses in causality predictive models by applying structural equation modeling, covariance-based (CB-SEM) with AMOS v.24 application. The findings of the study show that KM, HDRT and IC are proven to have a positive and significant direct effect on the performance of sustainable SMEs. KM and HDRT also had a positive and significant effect on the improvement of ICs. The confir-mation provides sufficient evidence that verified ICs have a positive mediating effect on the relationship between KM and HRDT with sustainable SME performance. IC is stra-tegically a critical solution in strengthening the implementation of KM and HRDT as an effective and adaptive SME managerial tool for sustainable performance improvement. These findings provide enough valuable evidence that can fill the existing gaps related to sustainable SME performance models.
