Author: Krishnaveni. N, Gopi Srinivasa Rao. S, Sri Nagesh. APages:1-8
DOI: https://doi.org/10.55306/GRJSSM.2025.030101
Abstract:
There are two objectives of this study: one is to compare the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies of the Information Technology (IT), Manufacturing and Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sectors of India in terms of thematic focus, financial investment and implementation in the communities. The study discovers sector specific variations in CSR through secondary data from annual reports (2018–2023), CSR portals published by government agencies,and industry specific studies, supplemented by systematic review of academic literature. Industry 4.0: IT Sector: Industrial revolution 4:0 puts digital literacy and technological empowerment as key priority areas, and companies in the IT sector are using their inherent core competencies to fill these skill gaps. The Manufacturing sector focuses on environmental sustainability, investing in green infrastructure and circular economy practices to align with climate agendas on a global scale. The FMCG sector, on the other hand, spends on sustainable sourcing and rural development which tackle supply chain ethics as well as farmer livelihood issues. Although all sectors align CSR with business objectives, the study complains about fragmented implementation and poor cross-sector synergies. It promotes collaborative frameworks (for example, public-private partnerships and sector-agnostic funding pools) that improve the scalability of existing solutions, optimize resources, and encourage measurable social impact. These insights provide actionable solutions for policymakers and corporate leaders to align India’s CSR landscape with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract:
Technology transfer involves the exchange of equipment, machinery, tools, human skills, experience, data, knowledge, techniques, and management practices. This study investigates the role of technology transfer in influencing employees' work ethics. Designed as applied and descriptive research, the study adopts a correlational approach and employs a survey method. The research focuses on employees of Abadan Oil Refinery, with a sample of 45 participants selected through available sampling. Data were collected using two questionnaires: a 50-question professional ethics questionnaire and a technology transfer questionnaire. Analytical methods included Pearson’s correlation coefficient, univariate regression, and structural equation modelling using Amos software. The findings revealed that the four main dimensions of technology transfer collectively account for up to 13.7% of the variance in employees' professional ethics. This underscores the significant impact of technology transfer on enhancing work ethics, commitment, and organizational conscience. By prioritizing the adoption and transfer of technology, organizations can create a more ethical and professional work environment. These results align with the findings of Rajabdorri et al. (2020), who emphasized the importance of integrating technology transfer into organizational strategies to improve employee professionalism and ethical standards. Ultimately, this study highlights the need for organizations to focus on technology transfer as a key driver of ethical behaviour and workplace integrity, contributing to both individual and organizational growth.

Challenges Encountered by Student Councils in Promoting Students’ Discipline in Public Secondary Schools in Ilemela District, Tanzania
Author: Salome Makala, Clara RupiaPages: 15-25
DOI: https://doi.org/10.55306/GRJSSM.2025.030103
Abstract:
This study investigated the challenges faced by student councils in promoting student discipline in public secondary schools in Ilemela District. The Path-Goal Theory guided the research and utilized a mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel research design. The sample consisted of 183 participants, including five heads of schools, five discipline teachers, and five student council members selected purposively. Additionally, 76 teachers and 92 students were chosen using stratified and random sampling techniques. Data collection methods included semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and questionnaires. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the assistance of SPSS version 20, while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that student councils are experiencing significant difficulties in enhancing student discipline in public secondary schools. The study identified several challenges that hinder the effectiveness of student councils. Key challenges include inadequate training and workshops, which leave council members needing more skills to implement discipline programs. Additionally, student council members often need help to balance their dual responsibilities of studying and managing disciplinary issues. The councils also require better resources for their official duties and greater involvement from school management in developing school rules. The study recommends that school management collaborate with student councils when formulating rules, regulations, and by-laws, as council members have valuable insights into student concerns and disciplinary matters. Furthermore, student council members should be provided with regular training to build their capacity and ensure they can effectively promote student discipline.
