	abstract = {Type of the article: Research ArticleAbstractGiven the instability of global energy markets and recurring price shocks, it is increasingly important to assess the sustainability of economic growth in countries heavily dependent on oil and gas, such as Kazakhstan. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the oil and gas sector’s production, fiscal and external sector transmission channels on Kazakhstan’s economic growth during 2010–2024. The empirical base includes official data from the Bureau of National Statistics of Kazakhstan, the Ministry of Finance, and the World Bank, as well as economic indicators related to exchange-rate dynamics and inflation. The study employs a combination of cointegration analysis, vector error correction models (VECM), and short-term ordinary least squares (OLS) specifications. The results show that oil production and GDP are linked by a stable long-term relationship, with the error-correction term indicating that about 24% of deviations from equilibrium are eliminated per year. Gas production emerges as a key short-term growth factor: a one-thousand-ton increase in gas production is associated with a 5.26 billion tenge (11.8 million USD) in GDP (p = 0.002). Tax revenues from the oil and gas sector exert a moderate positive effect on economic dynamics (p = 0.065), reflecting fiscal sensitivity to external conditions. The external sector channel exhibits the strongest short-term effect: a one-unit depreciation of tenge is associated with an average increase of 2.61 × 10⁵ tenge in nominal GDP (p < 0.01). Overall, the results indicate that Kazakhstan’s economic growth is shaped by long-term dependence on production and short-term transmission of price and financial shocks.AcknowledgmentsThis paper has been funded by the Science Committee MSHE RK (Grant “Strategy for the structural and technological modernization of the basic sectors of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, taking into account ESG approaches: criteria, implementation mechanisms, and forecast scenarios” BR24993089).},

	abstract = {Women's participation in the information and communication technology (hereinafter - ICT) sector It is increasingly seen as an essential element of inclusive digital transformation. This study examines the impact of digitalization and gender-related indicators on regional economic growth and evaluates whether women’s participation in ICT contributes to more inclusive development patterns. The analysis is based on a balanced panel dataset of 16 regions for the period 2010–2024. A pooled OLS model, a two-way fixed effects specification, and robustness checks with clustered heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors are employed. Estimates of the two-factor model of fixed effects show that the wage level is the most stable determinant of regional economic growth (β = 1.330; p < 0.001), while investments in fixed assets retain marginal statistical significance (β = 0.126; p = 0.060). The human capital index shows a statistically significant negative internal effect (p < 0.001), while indicators of digitalization and gender variables turn out to be statistically insignificant. The results show that digitalization indicators and gender variables do not have a statistically significant intraregional impact on the gross regional product after taking into account regional and temporary fixed effects. At the same time, investments in fixed assets and wages are the most stable determinants of regional growth. Cluster analysis revealed four models of regional development — digital-service, industrial, agricultural and resource, which confirms the structural heterogeneity. The results show that digitalization by itself does not guarantee inclusive growth, and its economic effects are mediated by structural factors.},

	abstract = {Today, the turbulently changing economic and social influences are having a significant impact on the sustainability and innovation policies of companies. The keys to economic efficiency and effectiveness are flexibility, adaptation to change, innovation, modernisation, and implementation of the potential new practices in business. The aim of the empirical research was to assess how the innovation policy of companies in the field of agricultural SMEs evolves in relation to management contribution and employee activity, and what kind of strategic objectives they formulate for the future. The primary survey was conducted in the form of a questionnaire in 2024. The hypotheses formulated in the light of international and national trends were tested with non-parametric statistical methods. The first hypothesis was tested using Wilcoxon rank test, and the second hypothesis was tested using Spearman rank correlation. The main finding of the research shows that the innovation policy and philosophy of agricultural SMEs’ operations are significantly influenced by the activation and involvement of employees in innovation processes, and management's efforts to increase employees' motivation. The innovation behaviour of companies in the sector is diverse, however, a significant percentage of companies consider themselves to be innovation-driven, even if their innovation activity is currently stagnating and their innovation performance is expected to remain low in the future. It remains important that similar research is produced that supports the promotion of innovation activity with up-to-date information and strategic considerations.},

	abstract = {Innovation is vital in the modern economic environment, as it aims to improve the operational efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability of enterprises. The study aimed to examine the innovation activity of Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises and the most important factors influencing their innovation. The paper employed a questionnaire survey in the spring of 2024. During the survey, a total of 253 companies were interviewed about their innovation factors. Based on the results, the innovation activity of the Hungarian SME sector shows a developing tendency. A positive attitude toward innovation is increasingly present among SMEs. More than half of the respondents (53%) believe that innovation plays a key role in maintaining competitiveness. However, in practice, almost two-thirds (58%) of managers do not involve their employees in innovation processes, or only partially, suggesting that companies’ decision-making processes remain centralized. Statistical analyses showed that neither the companies’ size nor age showed a significant correlation with innovation. However, the research results showed a close relationship between innovation and the use of knowledge transfer. This result shows that knowledge management plays a decisive role in the innovation processes of Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises.AcknowledgmentsThis study is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant “Strategy of structural and technological modernization of the basic sectors of the economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan based on ESG: criteria, mechanisms and forecast scenario” No. BR24993089).},

	abstract = {In the constantly changing economic and social life, the examination of employee satisfaction and motivation is inexhaustible both from a scientific and practical point of view. The main goal of the research was to explore and understand the workplace factors that most affect the satisfaction and motivation of employees working in southern Slovakia. Our goal was to identify the extent to which the factors we identified, i.e. wages and benefits, professional development and learning opportunities, working environment and conditions, and leadership style, affect employee satisfaction and motivation. The study was based on the primary and secondary research. A quantitative research method, a questionnaire survey, was used during the primary research. The snowball method was chosen as the sampling method. The data collection took place in the spring of 2024, among employees working in SME. The research followed the logic of deductive research, according to which the hypotheses were formulated on the basis of similar research. A total of 172 evaluable responses were collected, of which 156 were used to test the hypotheses. For the statistical analysis of the data, linear regression analysis and the Durbin-Watson test were performed. Satisfaction and motivation are closely related phenomena, the development of which in an employee can still be mostly linked to wages and the existence of benefits. Adequate working conditions and an exemplary leadership style also have a significant impact on employee satisfaction, thus their commitment and staying with the company.},
