Relevance of Business Ethics: A Navigating Force for Global Sustainable Quality Generation in Organizations | Chapter 5 | Business, Management and Economics: Research Progress Vol. 5

Business ethics has emerged as one of the prominent ringtones of the millennium organizations in present times. Notwithstanding the social uncertainties and the business fluctuation in vogue the essentiality and applicability of business ethics is the call of the hour.  The chapter highlights the rationale of business ethics and attempts to explore the key domains and items that may be considered relevant for present-day business houses. The literature of the paper hovers around rediscovering Goals and ethics, diversity management and ethics, entity value on decision making, legal perspective of business ethics, diversified ethics and gender differentiation. The paper ultimately aims to conceptualize a scale for finding conclusive remarks in certain identifiable arenas within the field of business ethics. The paper upholds a modest attempt to structure the “Business Ethics for Sustainable Quality”- ‘BESQ’ Scale with its domains and items with a focus on business ethics as a gateway to global sustainable organizational progression. The study makes a realistic effort to throw considerable light on the impact of business ethics and harmonizing the path of human development and organizational escalation in the days to come.

Developing and Standardizing the Scale to Measure the Attitude of Homemakers towards the Management of Household Waste | Chapter 4 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 1

The present study primarily focuses on developing and standardizing the scale to measure the attitude of homemakers towards the management of household waste. The problem of waste management has been increasing globally day by day and the waste from the houses is one of the dynamic issues in the current scenario. The rapid change in lifestyles has made waste management one of the major issues universally. Inappropriate waste management could be a threat to the environment as well as living beings. Waste is not generated by any one entity but, industries, businesses and households are equally responsible for it. Effective waste management begins at the source, and in order to do this, people need to have the proper mindset on sensible trash management. The homemaker has a big influence on how waste is managed in the house, but what matters more is how they feel about it. A homemaker with a positive outlook can aid in effective waste management. The scale consisted of two parts: (i) Segregation of household waste and (ii) Disposal of household waste. Initially, the scale consisted of 48 statements with a .80 reliability but after eliminating 6 indistinct statements the reliability of the attitude scale increased to .85. So finally, the standardized scale to measure the attitude of the homemakers towards the management of household waste was constructed with 42 statements and .85 reliability. It is expected that the findings of the current study may help in all upcoming studies to measure the attitude of the respondents with a more reliable and standardized scale.

Socio-Ecological Dynamics in Savanna Landscapes with Spatial and Temporal Contingencies | Chapter 4 | Emerging Challenges in Environment and Earth Science Vol. 4

In order to make it easier to adapt earlier studies of savanna landscape change in settings with little human interaction to those that more accurately depict the socio-ecological context of southern Africa's savannas, this study discusses the theoretical value of a contingencies framework in dynamic savanna systems. Studying and managing the savanna has included a lot of work on the processes underlying landscape changes. These dynamics have an effect on human populations, animal populations, carbon storage, and overall spatio-temporal dynamism in response to both anthropogenic and climatic changes. Landscapes can be explained simply as the result of geographically and historically contingent movements of energy and matter. Additionally, scale affects how these contingencies are observed. Both biophysical and human agents of change can be distinguished by distinguishing their unique spatial, temporal, and organisational variables. We contend, however, that a significant portion of research on savannas has either treated humans as exogenous (for example, by enacting regional or global policies) or as geographically and temporally detached from the system (e.g., as in many protected areas with limited current human habitation).
