The Role of AI-Augmented HRM in Sustainable Organizational Performance
In the age of digital transformation, organizations face a critical dilemma—should they prioritize digital culture or organizational strategy when integrating AI-augmented human resource management (HRM)? This study examines the impact of digital culture and organizational strategy on AI-augmented HRM and its role in achieving sustainable organizational performance (SOP) in developing countries.
Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with data from 219 HRM professionals in Bangladesh, the research finds that while organizational strategy significantly influences AI-augmented HRM, digital culture has a limited direct impact. Additionally, AI-augmented HRM plays a key mediating role in enhancing sustainable organizational performance. The findings underscore the importance of strategic planning over digital culture for successfully implementing AI-driven HRM systems in resource-constrained environments.

Gender based knowledge difference on social-environmental risk: a study on secondary school students of southwest coastal areas of Bangladesh
This study examines gender-based differences in the understanding of social and environmental risks among secondary school students in the southwest coastal region of Bangladesh, a disaster-prone and socioeconomically vulnerable area. Drawing on survey data from 514 students across Khulna, Bagerhat, and Satkhira districts, the study employed independent sample t-tests and chi-square tests to assess differences in knowledge and information sources by gender. The analysis revealed that girls exhibited relatively higher awareness of social risks and mental health issues, while boys demonstrated slightly greater understanding of environmental risks and made more use of digital platforms. School-based learning was the primary source of information for both groups; however, boys more frequently cited online sources, while girls relied more on teachers and family members. The findings underscore how structural inequalities and sociocultural norms shape gendered access to knowledge. The study calls for educational and policy interventions that promote equitable information dissemination, strengthen inclusive risk communication, and address intersectional vulnerabilities in disaster-prone regions.
