2025-11-12T09:33:30+00:00

The profound transformation of work models, particularly the widespread adoption of online and hybrid arrangements, necessitates a deeper understanding of their impact on employee well-being. This research paper provides a comprehensive review of the intricate connections between psychological resilience, work-life balance, and emotional burnout within these evolving environments. It explores the conceptual foundations of each construct, identifies the unique characteristics and inherent challenges of online and hybrid work, and analyses the complex interplay among these critical factors. This paper highlights how work-life imbalance can lead to burnout, how psychological resilience serves as a vital protective mechanism, and how the digital context exacerbates existing stressors while introducing new demands. Furthermore, it discusses evidence-based individual and organizational strategies to foster resilience, promote work-life balance, and mitigate burnout.

Three interrelated concepts emotional burnout, work-life balance, and psychological resilience emerge as crucial to understanding employee well-being within this changing paradigm. For people to successfully navigate the inherent uncertainties and demands of modern work, psychological resilience, which is defined as the ability to adapt to adversity is essential. A person's general quality of life and productivity are significantly impacted by work-life balance, which includes the fair allocation of time and contentment between the personal and professional spheres. On the other hand, emotional burnout marked by fatigue, cynicism, and decreased achievement is a serious and harmful consequence of ongoing, unchecked workplace stress.

Strategic contribution of ESG reporting in achieving Vikshit Bharat 2047: An Indian prospective

2025-11-12T10:52:38+00:00

As India progresses towards its ambitious goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting has emerged as a critical enabler of sustainable and inclusive growth. This study examines the strategic contribution of ESG reporting in aligning corporate practices with the developmental pillars of Viksit Bharat 2047. Using a descriptive and analytical approach based on secondary data, the research evaluates BRSR and CSR disclosures of Indian listed companies, government reports, and national indices.

The findings reveal that ESG-oriented initiatives significantly contribute to areas such as education, healthcare, gender equity, renewable energy, and rural development, thereby enhancing corporate reputation, investor confidence, and long-term value creation. However, the study also identifies challenges including the voluntary nature of ESG reporting, lack of standardization, risks of greenwashing, and low participation of MSMEs. The paper concludes that ESG reporting, if strengthened through standardized frameworks, mandatory compliance, and robust monitoring mechanisms, can become a transformative tool to achieve a socially just, environmentally responsible, and economically strong India by 2047.

Research gap and contribution: While several studies have explored ESG reporting, very few have specifically linked it with India’s long‑term developmental vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. Existing literature mostly focuses on ESG impact on firm value, investor perception or CSR trends, but does not examine how ESG disclosure can become a strategic driver for national goals.

This paper attempts to bridge this gap by:

Mapping ESG initiatives of Indian companies with the five pillars of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Highlighting challenges such as greenwashing, voluntary participation of SMEs, and lack of uniform standards.
Suggesting a policy-level roadmap to make ESG a tool for inclusive and sustainable growth.

Transforming employment: The AI & Automation era

2025-11-12T11:50:21+00:00

The rapid combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies is driving significant changes in the labor market, requiring a re-evaluation of traditional employment models. This paper look into the great effects of these technologies, focusing on both job displacement and the creation of new job opportunities. It explores the evolving skills needed for the future workforce, highlighting the increasing importance of adaptability, critical thinking, and digital literacy. The study also looks at the economic impacts, weighing potential productivity improvements against the risk of deepening income inequality. Ethical concerns, such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the broader social consequences of automation, are also explored. Additionally, the paper emphasizes the need for comprehensive policy frameworks and educational reforms to mitigate the adverse effects of job loss and facilitate a smooth transition. Dynamic solutions like retraining programs, continuous learning opportunities, and the possible introduction of universal basic income are discussed as ways to build a resilient and inclusive job market. By reviewing current research and trends, this paper calls for collaboration between policymakers, businesses, and educational institutions to tackle the challenges produce by AI and automation, and to ensure that the future of work is productive and fair for all.

Redefining growth: how shared prosperity frameworks challenge traditional economic models

2025-11-12T12:25:57+00:00

The concept of shared prosperity has emerged as a critical framework for achieving inclusive development, ensuring that economic growth benefits all segments of society, particularly marginalized and vulnerable groups. This research paper examines the interplay between shared prosperity and inclusive development, analyzing key policy mechanisms, institutional frameworks, and socio-economic factors that contribute to equitable progress.

Using a mixed-methods approach, the study evaluates global case studies to identify best practices in wealth redistribution, social protection, and human capital investment. Findings suggest that progressive taxation, inclusive labor policies, and targeted social programs are essential in reducing inequality and fostering sustainable development. Additionally, the paper highlights the role of digital transformation, gender equity, and participatory governance in enhancing economic inclusivity.

The study concludes that shared prosperity is not merely an outcome but a dynamic process requiring multi-stakeholder collaboration. Policymakers must prioritize pro-poor growth strategies, financial inclusion, and environmental sustainability to ensure long-term, inclusive development. By bridging theoretical insights with empirical evidence, this research contributes to the discourse on equitable growth and offers actionable recommendations for fostering a more inclusive global economy.

Driving sustainability through diversity, equity, and inclusion: A strategic business imperative

2025-11-12T12:42:02+00:00

This research paper examines how Diversity, Equity and Inclusion play a critical role in promoting sustainable business practices by ensuring equitable treatment, encouraging different perspectives, and eliminating obstacles to success. DEI improves decision making, innovation, employee commitment and builds resilience. This study examines the challenges of implementing the DEI controlled sustainability framework and highlighting successful case studies. Although sustainability and DEI have been extensively studied as distinct fields in existing literature, limited research has been done to examine how they intersect as a framework for long-term growth. This study seeks to close that gap by assessing how incorporating DEI into corporate strategy might improve social responsibility and business performance. By integrating DEI into corporate strategy, companies can achieve social responsibility and long-term growth. This descriptive study, using secondary data from journals, websites and publications, demonstrates that DEI is not merely a moral obligation but a strategic requisite for business sustainability.
