In a pioneering study that combines economic and social analysis with environmental insights, researchers are examining the determinants of carbon emissions in West Java, Indonesia. The study, titled "Assessing Economic and Social Determinants of Carbon Emissions Towards Sustainable Development in West Java, Indonesia," is led by Prof. Robert Kurniawan from the Department of Statistical Computing at Polytechnic Statistics STIS and the Department of Population and Environmental Education at the Faculty of Post-Graduate, State University of Jakarta, Indonesia. This research offers a detailed examination of how economic and social factors influence carbon emissions, providing valuable insights for sustainable development.
Why are some work teams happier and more productive than others? Because their members agree to interact in ways that promote well-being in themselves and others, says James Ritchie-Dunham, clinical associate professor of strategy at Texas McCombs.
Ritchie-Dunham is co-lead of the Leadership for Flourishing project, an ongoing study of well-being in the workplace across 59 countries, and a lead author for the Global Flourishing Study, an interdisciplinary, five-year initiative to survey over 200,000 people across 22 countries and 1 territory on six continents. The study is now gathering a third wave of data. Nature Portfolio published dozens of papers on the first wave in April.
Based on the first two data sets, Ritchie-Dunham discusses what flourishing looks like on the job and what managers can do to foster it.
