Branding activities provide space to create internal culture, processes and a kind of organizational system which allows employees to use their abilities to their maximum. Internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of an organization increase employee commitment, which ultimately enhances employee retention. There is a need to explore internal branding in relation to internal CSR for the sake of managing employee retention. Therefore, the study empirically examines the underlying associations among internal branding, employee retention and internal CSR. The data are collected from higher education institutions operating in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. The sample size was 377 faculties belonging to both private and public sector higher education institutions. The analysis is based on variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that the internal branding practices have a significant impact on employee’s intention to stay within the organization, and intrasample analysis suggests few comprehensible variations with respect to private and public academic institutions. The research article also provides insights to faculty, academic entrepreneurs and marketers, especially those belonging to developing countries and facing issues of branding and employee retention.

The article is devoted to the results of the annual monitoring of the activities of higher education institutions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine) in the field of technology transfer. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results of the transfer of created the higher education institutions based on the results of scientific, technical and innovative technologies for implementation in public practice, identify its main problems and ways to solve them in modern society. The research was carried out by the Ukrainian Institute of Scientific and Technical Expertise and Information according to the developed system of indicators and approved methodology using information on the results of innovation activities by budget managers. The obtained results show that in 2020 the higher education institutions transferred more than half of the total number of technologies transferred by the main managers of budget funds for strategic priority areas of innovation. Almost all technologies created by the higher education institutions were transferred to the order of industrial sector enterprises with a share of 96,4 % (in 2019 — 99,1 %, in 2018 — 80,4 %) in the total number of technologies transferred to industrial enterprises. For the last three years, the Ministry of Education and Science has been a leader among other managers in both domestic and foreign markets. The vast majority of technologies in the domestic and all technologies in the foreign market are transferred to customers through “know-how, agreements for the acquisition (transfer) of technology”. Technologies for 2018–2020 were transferred according to all approved strategic priorities, most of them according to priority 5 (medicine). Among the 23 higher education institutions operating in the field of transfer in 2020, the leader is Sumy State University (as in 2019 and 2018), which transferred more than half of the total number of transferred technologies, all — to the industrial sector. In 2018–2020, more than half of the technologies transferred to the domestic market, and almost all — on the foreign market were developed by the Ministry of Education and Science, of which almost all — universities. These technologies have a higher competitiveness and demand compared to technologies obtained by scientists from other domestic structures, which allows the Ministry of Education and Science among other fund managers to maintain a leading position in the field of transfer in both markets, including industry. Thus, the higher education institutions created and transferred innovative products for direct implementation in public practice and technological reequipment of enterprises at the sectoral level. The main problem of the transfer is that the transferred technologies were created only at the expense of enterprises and customer organizations for direct implementation, which narrows the opportunities for attracting the higher education institutions for effective implementation of modern society development strategies at regional and local levels. In order to further improve and expand the directions and opportunities of scientific, scientific-technical and innovative activities of the the higher education institutions, it is proposed to take into account world and European experience in the strategies of free economic development, including universities. sustainable development and its goals in order to increase the socio-economic development of society at the international, regional and local levels.

En la actualidad el rol del profesor universitario juega un papel muy importante en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. Dentro de sus funciones principales se encuentra propiciar un aprendizaje permanente y significativo entre los estudiantes, con la finalidad de formar profesionistas altamente calificados, por lo que el profesorado desempeña una parte fundamental en el logro de la calidad educativa. En este sentido, el objetivo del presente trabajo consistió en realizar un estudio de la salud ocupacional en los docentes de una Institución de Educación Superior (IES) del Estado de Baja California, México. Se evaluó el estrés crónico en el trabajo relacionado con sus exigencias mediante el síndrome de burnout para identificar áreas de oportunidad y buscar el mejoramiento de sus prácticas educativas y formativas.  Este síndrome es tridimensional y está caracterizado por el agotamiento, cinismo y eficiencia profesional. La metodología aplicada fue mediante un estudio de campo con la aplicación del instrumento de medición Maslach-Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS). Se realizó un estudio con 100 % de la planta de profesores de tiempo completo adscritos a una facultad de la universidad pública, a quienes se les aplicó la prueba para conocer la propensión a padecer el síndrome de burnout. Con base en la escala de evaluación, los resultados muestran niveles medios y altos en las dimensiones de agotamiento (=2.78) y cinismo (=1.46), y bajos en eficiencia profesional (=3.54), por lo que se comprueba la existencia del síndrome en los profesores sujetos de estudio. Se considera de suma importancia identificar el síndrome de burnout en los trabajadores dedicados a la docencia y se recomienda el desarrollo de una propuesta de mejoramiento de condiciones laborales.

The University

The academic landscape in higher education institutions (universities) in southern Africa (countries in SADC)) remains highly influenced by western epistemologies. This is despite the fact that these academic institutions are situated in independent states. The research and teaching activities in universities are entrenched within western theories and knowledge disciplines that are presented as neutral, universal and singular. The implication is that while we celebrate political independence we are still entrapped in continuing coloniality. This points to a need for reframing the curriculum to prioritise the interests of Africans. This chapter explores possible factors that contribute to the continued alienation of indigenous knowledges in southern African universities. It argues that in order to achieve the indigenisation of universities in Africa there is a need for a decolonial process to subvert and decentre western epistemologies by offering African Indigenous epistemologies and African-centred standpoints as alternatives in research and teaching processes in the academy.

Over the last decades, Sustainable Development (SD) has been a focal point in a large number of international political and academic settings. In order to encourage this change, education needs to evolve into an education committed with the sustainability, particularly higher education (Lambrechts, et al. 2013). This paper aims to describe experiences and remarks regarding The International Workshop on Campus Sustainability held on Wroclaw, Poland on May 2016. The objective of this workshop was identify fragilities and weaknesses in higher education institutions, which can lead to irreversible loses. As a follow-up, in June of 2016, a replication workshop was held in the city of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico with the objective of exploring new outcomes and gain more knowledge in identifying fragilities and weaknesses in higher education institutions. As a result, it is intended to create a new set of indicators of fragility that contribute in our path towards SD.
