The research investigates how networks, perceived opportunities, knowledge/skills, fear of failure, and community perceptions influence entre- preneurial intentions, with gender inequality as a moderator. Employing binary logistic regression on 19,119 respondents across nine MENA countries, the study tests six hypotheses to assess direct and gendered moderating effects. Results reveal that networks, knowledge/skills, courage, and favorable community perceptions significantly drive entrepreneurial intentions for both genders, whereas perceived opportunities lack direct influence. Notably, gender inequality exhibits paradoxical effects: while it does not directly suppress women’s intentions, it negatively moderates their network efficacy while am- plifying their perceived opportunities. The study challenges simplistic narratives of gender inequality as uniformly detrimental, illustrating its dual role as both a structural barrier and an inadvertent motivator for women. Methodological limitations, including reliance on cross-sectional data, highlight oppor- tunities for future longitudinal and qualitative research. This work advances understanding of gendered entrepreneurship in MENA, offering pathways to promote inclusive economic participation.

How-ever, its effect on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) remains debated. This sys-tematic literature review (SLR) compiles findings from 43 peer-reviewed articlespublished between 2016 and 2024 to critically assess AI’s dual role in HRM asboth a potential promoter of fairness and a source of embedded bias. Rooted inethical principles like fairness and accountability, organizational viewpoints such asHRM implementation challenges and best practices, and technological factors in-cluding algorithmic transparency and data quality, this review highlights four mainthemes: (1) AI’s ability to improve standardization, objectivity, and accessibilityin HR processes; (2) risks related to algorithms and data that could perpetuatesystemic bias and lessen accountability; (3) the human, data, and algorithmic ori-gins of these issues; and (4) strategies for mitigation including participatory design,explainability, human oversight, and ethical governance. Despite growing interestin AI integration within HRM, previous studies have mostly treated fairness andeffectiveness as separate issues, providing limited insight into how AI simultane-ously impacts DEI outcomes. Additionally, the current literature often neglects thepractical difficulties of implementing ethical principles, leaving HR professionalswith scattered guidance. This review addresses these gaps by providing a timely,interdisciplinary overview that connects academic discussions with the urgent needfor ethically responsible AI use in real-world HR environments. Practical implica-tions are provided for HR professionals, developers, and organizational leaders,highlighting the importance of transparent implementation and inclusive design.Additionally, the review highlights theoretical and methodological gaps, suggestingthat future research should focus on employee perceptions, contextual moderators,and the long-term effects of AI in various organizational settings. By presenting acomprehensive, multidisciplinary synthesis, this study advances the ongoing dis-cussion on the ethical integration of AI in HRM. It provides practical guidance onaligning technological progress with inclusive organizational values.

We focus on different types of inequality, particularly educational disparities and healthcare access gaps, and examine how social policies in these areas have affected these issues. Using a comparative literature review approach, this study conducts a policy-oriented analysis of inequality in education and healthcare across MENA. Drawing on recent data and research, it evaluates the effectiveness of various reforms and programmes. The findings suggest that while economic growth has generally improved living standards in the region, the distribution of these gains remains highly uneven, with persistent gaps between affluent and marginalized groups. Policies that target education and health are crucial for closing these gaps: investing in quality education and expanding healthcare access can increase social mobility and fairness. The paper offers a set of coordinated policy suggestions—including expanding educational opportunities for disadvantaged populations and improving healthcare financing and coverage—to reduce inequalities. Ultimately, a comprehensive social policy framework, guided by human capital theory and social determinants of health, is vital for promoting inclusive development in MENA countries.

The ProQuest website was utilized to explore interactional justice and leadership concepts in all abstract and summary texts in English and articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals at any time. Thirty-six studies were related to the systematic review, and there were twenty-two valid cases for the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis techniques proved the strength of the relationship between leadership styles and interactional justice, with notable heterogeneity among all investigations and ambiguous proof of publication bias. Fisher’s method found a study to be an outlier, but it was significant in WLS, WAAP, and Cohen's d. The review of definitions showed a high degree of similarity, while the most prominent features of leadership styles were transformational, transactional, and ethical leadership. Yet, the systematic review proved unmistakable evidence of the connection between interactional justice and leadership styles, while those two concepts impacted other variables in a relationship. The relationship between leadership and interactional justice is influenced by many facets, such as their status in the connection, leadership styles, sample number, and study place, pushing the heterogeneity of the results. Although it is possible to mix up these diverse leadership styles, transformational or ethical leadership, both styles treat employees respectfully, avoid concealing information, and make staff feel satisfied. Wise leadership is crucial to shaping a positive interactional environment for workers. Therefore, leaders must pursue integrity and ethical behavior to establish organizational justice, particularly interactional justice.

Despite the increasing acknowledgment of the significance of women's entrepreneurship in driving economic development, there remains a limited understanding of the roles played by different types of family support and their effects on the well-being of women entrepreneurs within the Arab states. Drawing on existing literature and theoretical frameworks, we argue that family support (instrumental, financial, and emotional) is crucial in facilitating the entrepreneurial endeavors and subjective well-being of women entrepreneurs operating in Arab states, where patriarchal forces and discriminatory social norms often shape the entrepreneurial landscape. Furthermore, this paper outlines a future research agenda to bridge the knowledge gap on this issue. We emphasize the importance of considering cultural and contextual factors while exploring the dynamics of family support and its outcomes and conducting empirical investigations in the Arab region. Overall, this paper contributes to understanding the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs in the Arab region and can inform policymakers, support organizations, and stakeholders in designing effective interventions and support mechanisms for women entrepreneurs in the Arab states.
