Welcome
Dear "e-mentor" readers,
I am delighted to present you with the latest collection of diverse papers exploring current trends in management and education.
The issue begins with a contribution from Don Olcott, Jr. on the topic of leadership in the context of AI, whose perspective offers a valuable addition to the ongoing discussion on the impact of AI on our future. The section dedicated to readers interested in new trends in education also includes references to AI, but in the context of tools used in language teaching.
The education-focused section of the publication addresses several key issues, including the impact of students' extracurricular activities on their development of job competencies, the differing study paces observed in online learning environments, and the influence of teachers' organisational commitment on their work engagement. Finally, the article compares the educational performance of European Union member states based on a range of criteria, including PISA test results, teacher-to-student ratios, learning time and government expenditure on primary education as a proportion of GDP.
Those primarily interested in management will gain insight into green human resource management practices and the pro-environmental behaviour of employees in the TFL sector, as well as learn how to manage selected types of costs related to ESG implementation in enterprises. The relationship between tourism management and the subjective well-being of visitors, as well as the factors that influence this relationship, is also covered, based on evidence from Mexico.
This issue presents a diverse range of topics and authors from a variety of backgrounds. The internationalisation strategy supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (Poland) with granted funds (RCN/SP/0361/2021/1) has resulted in collaboration between "e-mentor" and foreign organisers of scientific conferences. We have also concentrated our efforts on enhancing the quality of published articles, boosting international visibility, increasing transparency of the editorial process, and modernising the website. Please visit www.e-mentor.edu.pl/eng to view the results of our work. As a result of our efforts, we have seen a notable increase in the number of authors and reviewers affiliated with foreign institutions, with the participation of foreign authors growing from 8% in 2021 to 29% in 2024, while the involvement of foreign reviewers increased from 15% to over 20% in the same period.
Following an analysis of the project results, we have decided to publish all articles in English only. Please be advised that from the beginning of 2025, there will be no further calls for manuscripts prepared in Polish. Furthermore, we have decided to redefine the scope of the journal, focusing on higher education in management and economics. Our goal is to make "e-mentor" a peer-reviewed journal that serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of research and ideas related to teaching and learning in management and economics higher education. We aim to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and insights on the use of technology in education, including e-learning, forms and methods of education, the verification of learning effects, and the integration of new trends in management and economics into higher education.
I would also like to extend an invitation to you to collaborate with us in the creation of "e-mentor" by assuming the role of a reviewer or submitting articles for publication. "E-mentor" is an open-access journal, available free of charge both online and in printed form. All scientific papers are subject to peer review, and we offer complimentary proofreading of papers accepted for publication. Each article is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI), and the journal is indexed in a number of global databases, including Web of Science ESCI and EBSCO. There is no publishing fee for authors. Further details are available online at http://www.e-mentor.edu.pl/eng/page/8/Info_for_Authors.
