2025-11-17T07:49:08+00:00

Legal literacy has emerged as a critical competency for human resource professionals in contemporary organisational environments characterised by complex regulatory frameworks and heightened compliance requirements. This review examines the intersection of legal knowledge, HR practice, and organisational management systems, synthesising research on how legal literacy influences HR decision-making, risk management, and strategic organisational outcomes. The paper explores the conceptual foundations of legal literacy in HR contexts, examines empirical evidence on its impact on organisational performance, and identifies key dimensions of law-aware management systems. Findings suggest that HR professionals with enhanced legal literacy contribute significantly to organisational compliance, employee relations, and strategic value creation, though significant gaps remain in training and development approaches.

2025-11-17T07:56:23+00:00

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how organizations manage their employees, from recruitment and evaluation to surveillance and task automation. These technologies promise efficiency and standardization but also challenge established legal and ethical norms that protect workers. This paper examines the key legal and organizational implications of AI adoption in employment. It discusses how AI changes privacy expectations, introduces new forms of algorithmic discrimination, and reshapes employer duties concerning transparency, accountability, and fairness. The paper also highlights the duty to retrain displaced workers, the importance of employee participation in technological change, and the need for updated legal frameworks. The study concludes that responsible AI governance in workplaces must combine human oversight, ethical design, and legal safeguards to protect worker dignity while supporting innovation.

Unlocking Potential: The Impact of Educational Entrepreneurs and EdTech on Women's Empowerment in the Thar Desert, Rajasthan

2025-12-01T09:59:11+00:00

Purpose: This study investigates the role of educational entrepreneurs and EdTech in transforming women's lives in Western Rajasthan. It focuses on the conservative Thar Desert area, including Bikaner. The research examines the impact on education, skill enhancement, and employment. It also explores broader effects on gender equality and social norms.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A qualitative, multiple-case study design was used. Data was collected through 30 semi-structured interviews. Participants included women learners, parents, and local educational entrepreneurs. Two focus group discussions with community elders and female graduates were also conducted. Thematic analysis was applied to the data.
Findings: EdTech initiatives led by local entrepreneurs significantly improved women's educational access. Digital literacy and confidence increased. A clear pathway from skills to local livelihood opportunities was observed. This economic contribution slowly improved women's status within families and the community. However, barriers like digital access, socio-cultural restrictions, and limited advanced career guidance persist.
Practical Implications: The study offers a model for using localised EdTech in conservative contexts. It suggests that multi-stakeholder efforts are crucial. Recommendations are provided for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and NGOs. The goal is to deepen and scale the impact.
Originality/Value: This research fills a critical gap. It provides empirical evidence on how hyper-local EdTech entrepreneurship empowers women in a challenging, low-resource desert environment. It highlights a sustainable pathway for women's empowerment through education and economic agency.

With growing environmental concerns, green products have become increasingly important in today’s market. Consumer satisfaction and attitude toward green products help to understand how a person perceives and responds to eco-friendly options.
