The heightened need for rapid and accurate parcel delivery has resulted in the extensive ‎implementation of automated technologies in logistics. This study assesses the operational ‎efficiency and scalability of high-speed cross-belt sorters in comparison to manual sorting ‎methods. This research analyses a case study from Bangalore, India, to evaluate the efficacy ‎of the ZedSORT system compared to manual methods on throughput, labour dependency, ‎cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Quantitative figures indicate a substantial augmentation ‎in daily capacity (from 20,000 to 160,000 parcels), reduced labour needs, and enhanced real-time tracking and interaction with warehouse management systems. This research, based on ‎the SCOR model and Industry 4.0 framework, provides practical insights and proposes a ‎paradigm for the implementation of scalable automation in logistics operations. The findings ‎enhance the discourse on the digital revolution of supply chains, offering lessons for both ‎practitioners and researchers‎.

This study aims to examine the extent to which the dual process recommender system influences online purchase intentions in online shopping environment. Online shopping has risen dramatically in Malaysia, greatly adding to its popularity. This study investigates the characteristics that influence purchase intention pleasure among students at the University Malaysia Kelantan. The investigations will give characteristics influencing student purchasing intention as well as components driving consumer happiness while shopping online. Perception of use, perceived ease of use, lifestyle compatibility, belief and advantages will be used as independent factors in this study to link to the dependent variable, behavioral purchase intention. The descriptive approach was used in this study, with 100 students from the UMK City Campus responding via an adapted questionnaire with Likert-scale on Google Form. This study is limited to students from the Entrepreneurship and Business Faculty. The outcomes of the investigation were substantial and validated the theory. This study's limitations and recommendations will assist future researchers in better understanding the factors that impact UMK City Campus students' online purchasing pleasure.

Focusing on the effects of social media, fast commerce (Q-commerce), and dark warehouses on consumer buying flexibility, this paper investigates the changing dynamics of consumer behaviour in urban India. Data was gathered from three representative samples spread throughout four major metropolitan cities—Hyderabad, Chennai, and Bangalore—using a quantitative method. The effect of every variable was examined using structural equation modelling. Findings show that social media (β = 0.734, p < 0.001) exerts the strongest positive impact on customer purchase flexibility, followed by Q-commerce (β = 0.980, p < 0.001), while dark warehouses show a significant yet negative influence (β = -0.536, p < 0.001). With t-values far above the crucial threshold, all relationships were statistically significant. These results emphasize the flexible character of the contemporary Indian customer and show how important internet infrastructure and new retail concepts are in influencing buying choices. For marketers and logistics planners trying to improve consumer response in fast digitizing metropolitan areas, the study provides strategic insights.

Workplace alienation is described as a state of being in which the employee is demotivated and disinterested in their individualized role and responsibilities at their place of work. The psychological feeling of alienation or separation from their employer and colleagues, and having very little or no passion at all towards their work. This kind of occupational scenario is observed as an implication of certain employer-based actions toward the employee. These actions may comprise being unable to recognize the drive and successes, criticizing the output and the employee, lack of empathy towards the employee, and other issues. This study focuses on understanding the Work Alienation (WA) of Engineers and Managers; and also analyses the influence of sociodemographic features on the OSE among the employee groups. The study was conducted in a major manufacturing Public Sector Unit, located in Mysore. The stratified random sample consisted of up to a hundred and twenty samples selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was collected using the WA tool, along with a demographic data sheet. The data was analyzed using statistical tools like Regression analysis, Two-way ANOVA, and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The results of the study are Engineers and Managers did not differ significantly in their WA scores; the interaction effect between occupation type and different income, age, and years of work experience, are nonsignificant which shows that WA is similar in employees irrespective of the occupation they have. To conclude, WA influences employees' beliefs in their competencies in being able to control their work, thereby over such scenarios that impact them. Beliefs about one’s efficacy influence choices in life, motivation levels, functioning levels, resilient behaviour towards adverse situations, and being vulnerable to stress and its lifethreatening consequences.

Social networking sites have played a significant role in students’ growing online presence. Students’ enthusiasm and participation in online classrooms have been significantly enhanced by its utilization as a teaching tool. The effects of students’ social media usage on their academic performance are the primary subject of this proposed. There are mainly three parts: training the model, extracting features, and preprocessing. An essential step in providing classifiers with a feature space representation of data is data preparation. Performance, processing costs, the “dimensional curse,” and data comprehension are all improved with feature selection. We used the RBF-ELMAN to train the model, which increased its accuracy. The proposed method achieved a higher accuracy of 96.35% compared to state-of-the-art methods such as RBF and ELMAN.

The purpose of this article is to put a model that looks at how organizational justice mediates the connection between engagement and the work environment to the test. Workers' opinions of their workplace are greatly impacted by their understanding of organizational justice. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of literature on organizational justice's causes and effects, especially as it relates to the mediating role it plays between the work environment and employee engagement in firms operating in India's service sector. This study aims to fill that void by studying the relationship between organizational justice and the antecedent and consequence of work environment and involvement in the workplace, respectively. Using a stratified disproportionate sample approach, 1,200 workers from firms in India's service industry were surveyed. Although the mediation is limited, the results demonstrate that organizational justice significantly mediates the relationship between work environment and job engagement. Organizations should take action to improve workers' views of fairness, according to the report. Impartiality and fairness in decision-making are key to enhancing procedural justice.

Studying the effects of the change is critical as educational institutions around the world deal with the confluence of traditional and online learning environments. The purpose of this research is to determine whether and how hybrid learning influences student happiness and success at Master Students. The study's overarching goal is to shed light on the complex interplay between factors including course materials, technology interfaces, and interactive modalities and student happiness. Simultaneously, it seeks to track how hybrid learning affects academic performance, specifically looking at test scores and total accomplishment. The purpose of this research is to examine, through examination of exam scores, how hybrid learning influences the happiness and academic success of students enrolled in Master Programs (such as MBA and PGDM) at B-Schools in India. A total of 202 students from Indian business schools were the intended subjects. Digital technology and online resources have the potential to impact student engagement, flexibility, and access to instructional materials through their incorporation into the learning process. To what degree, if any, hybrid learning improves master's students' happiness and performance in the classroom remains an open question.
