Full textAbstract:
One of the challenges for implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the measurement of indicators that represent progress towards such goals. Measuring such progress enables data-driven decision-making and management of SDG-relevant projects and strategies. The premise of this research is that measuring such indicators depends on measuring so-called means of implementation, i.e. activities that directly contribute to the achievement of SDGs. Building on this premise, this article studies how the measurement of digital government (DG) can contribute to the measurement of SDGs. In particular, how the indicators originating in three DG measurement instruments can inform the SDG indicators. The main finding is an alignment matrix, showing how the DG indicators contribute with varying level of specificity to the measurement of 10 SDG indicators.

Abstract
This study conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between emotional intelligence and self-concept as well as educational achievement of Tehran students. Descriptive correlational research used as a research design. Selected samples, after receiving information about research goals and giving their consent to participation, collaborated with the researcher. First, using multi-stage cluster sampling, districts 1, 4, and 17 were selected among 22 districts of Tehran randomly. Then, two high schools (one girls' high school and one boy’s high school) were chosen from each of districts. 200 students were recruited. Emotional intelligence and Tennessee self-concept questionnaires were completed by participants and then analysis of data carried out using correlation matrix and Multiple Regression. The results showed that self-concept and educational achievement have a significant relationship with emotional intelligence. Also, emotional intelligence could predict self-concept and educational achievement.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to holistically study barriers in the path of implementation of retirement planning, as the need is increasing with decrease in mortality. The proper retirement planning can be one of the most important tools to control financial expenses on healthcare and welfare on old age population in government budgets. Design/methodology/approach The paper is a blend of theoretical framework and practical application and uses interpretive structural modeling (ISM) analysis to draw linkage and impact of identified barriers in the path of achievement of goals of retirement planning. The study has used three different research phases: identification of barriers from the literature, interviews with experts of industry at second stage and designing an ISM impact matrix cross-reference multiplication model. The identification phase led to the selection of 15 factors from past literature and by suggestion from industrial experts. Findings This study seeks to identify which barrier is acting as the most dominant one for the mass adoption of retirement planning and this result is helpful for policymakers to remove the dominant barrier. The result of this analysis can make retirement planning easy by elimination of highlighted barriers on the basis of their importance in the path of achievement of retirement goals. In the ISM level diagram, barriers such as marital status, number of financial dependents at the bottom, gender, income level, educational level, financial literacy, financial dependency, policy regulation, terms and conditions, goal clarity and psychological and cultural factors are on the top. Barrier of macroeconomic and bureaucratic impediments are also very important factors for achievement of retirement goal of an individual, but they cannot be controlled directly by the associated members of industry. Originality/value The concern for providing sufficient retirement resources is growing with the increase in life expectancy for human beings. Such requirement has attracted views from not only academicians but also policymakers. This paper is one of the preliminary attempts to identify barriers in implementation of retirement planning and rank them according to their importance.

Nowadays research of stress phenomena in psychological science is highly significant. Many citizens suffer from the stressors of current Ukrainian crisis society. First of all, the personal stress tolerance development is a psychotherapeutic problem that should be emphasized. However, there is no unique concept for stress tolerance development. The article provides a matrix of integrative personal stress tolerance development and its theoretical and methodological foundation. Stress tolerance is considered as an integrative property of personality characterized by a coordinated interaction of psychophysiological, emotional (motivational, communicative), cognitive, volitional components that ensure its achievement or successful overcoming of critical situations (crisis, stress, conflict, frustration) in everyday and extreme living conditions. The matrix developed by the author is the result of psychotherapeutic and consultative work with patrol police officers, and victims of critical life situations (crisis, stress, conflict, frustration). The sequence of psychotherapeutic work is represented by the following stages as: stage of identifying a topical problem, stage of working with psychophysiological component of stress tolerance, stage of changing negative protection for successful coping strategies, stage of working with emotional component of stress tolerance, stage of self-discovery of dominant communicative personal traits, stage of operation with cognitive stress component, the stage of coping resources obtaining, the stage of new value priorities, goals and self-organization determination, the stage of operation with the volitional structure of personal stress tolerance.

Full textAbstract:
The objectives of the implementation of the National Project “Digital Economy” are the modernization of the education system and the introduction of modern technologies and teaching aids. The article discusses the achievement of these goals in the modern conditions of the organization of the educational process, which require the introduction of models of distance and blended learning using practice oriented methods. To form the competencies of bachelors in the “Applied informatics” direction, a practice oriented learning model has been developed based on 1C software products, based on the matrix of correspondence between curriculum disciplines and information systems and services offered by the developer. When implementing such a model, it is necessary to use the methodology of a continuous system for the formation of professional competencies, which consists of several stages, which also include all types of planned practice curricula. Successful achievement of the set goals is possible due to the integration of practical examples and software solutions, which allows solving professional problems without the departure of students to enterprises. The experience of organizing student training on practice oriented cases within the framework of the formation of professional competencies of graduates of the direction of training bachelors “Applied informatics” is presented. The features of the proposed solutions in the implementation of interdisciplinary links of IT disciplines using the 1C:Enterprise platform are considered.

Due to limited researches in Egypt linking between E-government with Sustainable Development Goals. This study aims to clarify contribution of Egovernment services in achieving SDGs and some of its literary references and the relationship between them by using a methodology clarifying the relationship between the SDGs and the e-government services and provides the researchers and anyone wants to improve or add a new service to E-government services or achieve the SDGs and its domains with data that help them ease of choice and decision making. E-government services have been sorted and tested to verify whether these services are available or not. furthermore, classification of SDGs and linking eservices to them has been provided through a matrix assessing Egyptian E-government services parameters to achieve SDGs and targets. This study has found that almost all Egypt Ministries and other governmental organizations have websites, mostly used for providing structural information functions, activities, news, and services helping in achieving SDGs. Despite the limited number of Egyptian e-services and their domains, it contributes to the achievement of 11 goals (about 65%) and 33 SDG targets (about 20 %)

Abstract To achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs), all countries’ efforts are essential, and each country needs to recognize their level of achievement in terms of the SDGs, identify the goals and targets that require more effort, and build more effective and well-performed governance systems to accelerate their efforts toward achieving the SDGs. This study identifies different governance system structures for achieving the SDGs and the challenges they face in improving their performance using a new matrix tool to evaluate governance systems for the SDGs. We use Japan and Indonesia as case studies to provide perspectives from countries at different levels of economic development. The results show that the governance systems for the SDGs are structurally and functionally different in the two countries, which face different challenges. Japan has relatively well-structured “vision and objective setting”, “research and assessment”, and “strategy development”, but faces challenges in relation to “implementation” and “monitoring, evaluation, and review”, while Indonesia has relatively well-structured “research and assessment”, “strategy development”, and “monitoring, evaluation, and review.” However, Indonesia faces challenges in relation to “vision and objective setting” and “implementation.” We found that the differences in the governance systems for the SDGs have arisen in relation to three key elements: differences in the development of governance systems for the SDGs, differences in the lead ministries, and the existence or otherwise of a supportive legal framework. We argue that the proposed matrix tool is useful in identifying the structure of governance systems for the SDGs and the challenges that must be overcome to improve the performance of these systems. However, some analytical limitations must be overcome before the tool can be applied to other countries.

The collective agent coordination problem in organizational behavior systems is consider. In particular, the problem of coordinating of the agents’ interests to assess the degree of achieve-ment of the corporate strategic targets. The relevance of the problem is due to the need to increase the speed of decision-making, the speed of reaction to changes in the external environment, which can be achieved using appropriate control mechanisms. Aim. Improving methods of collective deci-sion making under circumstances where agents have different ranks of significance. Materials and methods. Methods comprise the integrated rating mechanisms and the generalized median voter schemes. The mathematical apparatus was chosen is contingent on the group decision making in organizational systems. Active agents strives to maximize his target function in the process of inter-action, which leads to a conflict of interests and a desire to distort information. The chosen methods allow these problems to be solved. The first ones are used to aggregate indicators that reflect the de-gree of achievement of the private goals of the organization at the strategic level. The second ones are used to identification the true agents’ opinions about the type of target index convolution matri-ces. Results. The matrix non-anonymous generalized median mechanism is proposed. The non-anonymous statement allows taking into account the interests of agents with different ranks. It is shown how to reduce non-anonymous procedure to an anonymous one. Decisions making process about all elements of the convolution matrices in integrated rating mechanisms with using anony-mous median voter scheme is strategy proofnees. However, the results of aggregation are not stabil-ity to the agent strategic behavior in cases of application anonymous or non-anonymous coordina-tion procedures. The new integrated mechanism based on the synthesis of known control mecha-nisms is proposed to overcome the discovered problem. Conclusion. The statement of the problem corresponds to the real procedures of decision making by governance board, when the opinion of one agent turns out to be more significant than the opinion of another agent. The developed mech-anism makes it possible to agree on the opinions of experts on the degree of achievement of the strategic goals of the organization; it can also be adapted to solve other applied problems, for ex-ample, making a decision on the choice of a project, assessing risks, assessing suppliers, etc.

Purpose Today, healthcare organizations focus mainly on development and implementation of patient safety strategic plan to improve quality and ensure safety of provided services. The purpose of this paper is to recommend potential strategies for successful implementation of patient safety program in Iranian hospitals based on a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT) analysis. Design/methodology/approach In this qualitative study, key informant interviews and documentation review were done to identify strength and weakness points of Iranian hospitals in addition to opportunities and threats facing them in successful implementation of a patient safety program. Accordingly, the research team formulated main patient safety strategies and consequently prioritized them based on Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) matrix. Findings The study recommended some of the potential patient safety strategies including provision of education for employees, promoting a safety culture in hospitals, managerial support and accountability, creating a safe and high-quality delivery environment, developing national legislations for hospital staff to comply with patient safety standards and developing a continuous monitoring system for quality improvement and patient safety activities to ensure the achievement of predetermined goals. Practical implications Developing a comprehensive and integrated strategic plan for patient safety based on accurate information about the health system’s weaknesses, strengths, opportunities and threats and trying to implement the plan in accordance with patient safety principles can help hospitals achieve great success. Originality/value Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) conducted a national study to recommend potential strategies for successful implementation of patient safety in Iranian hospitals based on a SWOT analysis and QSPM matrix.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the features of the controlling implementation in trade enterprises in the context of the international dimension, the possibility of adapting international approaches to the Ukrainian conditions of business. The essential concept of controlling and its connection with realization of the general functions of management is defined. It is established that controlling is a management subsystem that ensures the achievement of the mission and system of goals of the enterprise, covers all areas of activity, business processes and business facilities. It is determined that effective business processes are the driving force of success of a trading company, so the implementation of processes should be monitored and any deviations should be corrected in a timely manner. It was found that the concept of controlling is not limited to pure control. The impossibility of considering controlling only at the final stage of management is substantiated. Controlling ensures the achievement of the goals of trade networks, directing the functioning of the management system of trade entrepreneurs in a single direction, defined by strategic, tactical and operational plans. The experience of other countries in controlling conducting at trade enterprises is studied. The tools of foreign practice that can be used in the implementation of controlling of different areas (marketing controlling, procurement and logistics controlling, financial activities controlling, sales controlling, financial activities controlling) are defined: kaizen system, Just-in-time system, CRM, benchmarking, ABS-analysis and XYZ-analysis, PIMS, outsourcing matrix, DPS method, profitability chart «Maisigma», PEST-analysis, Monte Carlo method, methodology of «quality circles», sensitivity analysis, construction of a map of strategic groups, quality standards, performance indicators, calculation of inventory levels, comparison of costs in the value chain, change management, management of «weak» signals, hierarchy of strategies, building a map of business processes. Implementation of controlling provides an increase in trade to 25%; increase in profit from 10 to 12%; increase in profitability from 8 to 20%; increase labor productivity to 30%.

Full textAbstract:
Many of the places that people value are the places they wish to visit and experience for
themselves. However, each person that visits one of these places can cause impacts that
reduce its value. A fimdamental aim of visitor management therefore is to ensure that each
visitor's experience is a high quality one, and is sustainable. Various models have been
designed to assist with this aim by linking visitor management planning, monitoring and
decision making. However, there is a lack of published examples of how visitor management
models have been implemented, what results they have yielded, and how well they have
performed. There is also a lack of evidence of widespread application of such models.
Without information and insight, there is only a theoretical case to argue for the greater use
of visitor management models.
The aim of this study was therefore to describe, analyse and explain the formulation and
implementation of the most widely published visitor management models, with reference to
case studies of Jenolan Caves (New South Wales) and Kangaroo Island (South Australia).
The study involved: a literature review; personal observations by the author; in-depth
interviews with those involved in developing and implementing the two case studies; and an
objective analysis using a Goals Achievement Matrix.
The thesis critically examined seven visitor management models with respect to their:
evolution and definition; dimensions and planning and development approaches; documented
applications in Australia and overseas; and limitations. This would appear to be the first time
that these models have been critically examined in this way so that comparisons can be easily
made between them. This would also appear to be the most comprehensive identification of
examples of implemented visitor management models in Australia.
The study identified five critical issues relating to development and implementation of visitor
management models:
1. Poor planning hmeworks and poorly defined organisational culture, particularly in
visitor and tourism management. 2. Lack of, or inconsistent human and financial resources.
3. Resistance to involving stakeholders in fimdamental decision-making.
4. Difficulty in choosing the right model for the situation.
5. Lack of strategic emphasis and technical ability.
The study suggested that more effort needed to be made in the pre-development and
implementation phases. Critical to such efforts is the development of an implementation plan,
written as part of the development process. The implementation plan requires an
individual(s) to take on a strategic coordination role that addresses marketing, staff
development, budgeting, evaluation and areas for improvement. The study suggested that the
conventional emphasis on technical expertise needs to be re-balanced with political skills to
lobby for and protect the human and financial resources needed to implement a model long
enough for it to prove its value. In the event where resourcing is too limited to fully
operationalise an entire model at once, it was recommended to conservatively develop a
portion of the chosen model all the way to the stage in which it delivers results that can be
marketed to stakeholders.
Finally, the study proposed a tool to assist visitor managers to clarify their need for a model,
as well as their capability to develop and implement one. In the absence of sufficient
information about the implementation of models, the tool empowers managers to consider the -
merits of using a visitor management model further, and to select a model that best meets
their needs.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the current high levels of urbanisation and the lingering effects of Apartheid, South African municipalities have experienced difficulties in planning for sustainability and more specifically sustainable community development. Sustainable community development is needed in order to achieve more integrated and sustainable towns and cities with an improved urban environment and a higher quality of life. Due to this sustainable community development is of particular relevance to South Africa. Although policies and legislation exist at international, national and local level, there is a lack of suitable planning instruments to guide sustainable community development.
Tlokwe Local Municipality is researched as study area to test and develop planning instruments for sustainable community development. An assessment matrix of sustainability indicators is linked to Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and applied to identify the themes and sub-themes applicable to sustainability in which intervention is required to improve the sustainability rating of the municipality. A Goal Assessment Matrix (GAM) approach is used to score and prioritise municipal projects, plans and strategies according to sustainable community development fundamentals. The top scoring projects are indicative of the achievement of sustainable community development goals and objectives. The result of the sustainability assessment is that the Tlokwe Local Municipality is considered to be relatively sustainable, performing overall better than the three spheres of government against which it was measured. Subsequent to the GAM assessment a lack of alignment between the sectoral plans was identified as well as the duplication of projects. The projects, plans and strategies of the municipality are found to not have been formulated with sustainable community development framework as a guiding goal.
It is recommended that municipalities use the assessment matrix methods to determine its level of sustainability when developing respective sectoral plans (SDFs, ITPs, EMFs and IDPs). Areas in which there is a lack of sustainability are highlighted and can consequently be addressed through intervention strategies. Prioritising municipal projects, plans and strategies through the use of GAM identifies crucial projects that need special attention to ensure their successful implementation as this will largely aid sustainable community development. Both the assessment matrix method and the GAM approach are valuable planning instruments with which to achieve sustainable community development.Thesis (MArt et Scien (Urban and Regional Planning))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

Full textAbstract:
There is no single resource so essential to sustaining life and livelihoods than water (UNDP, 2005). Water is furthermore a strategic resource that not only gives life, but is also a catalyst for development; therefore water has to and must be at the centre of all development plans (Buyelwa, 2009). Water can be the limiting factor for economic growth, upliftment and social development due to its scarcity and uneven distribution.
Strategic spatial interface and relationship with water resource planning and management is fundamental to development and realisation of spatial potential. Strategic spatial planning has many components of which the Spatial Development Framework forms the key regulation to guide development and inform investment opportunities.
The goal of this study is to determine the degree to which water resource management and planning is incorporated in Spatial Development Frameworks in context of strategic spatial planning. Concurrently international strategic spatial planning procedures and water resource management principles are investigated to correlate the local situation with international trends.
A Goal Achievement Matrix (GAM) with ten assessment principles is developed as a tool for evaluation of strategic spatial planning and water resource management documents in terms of the local municipal level. This GAM may be used and implemented as a comparative evaluation tool to compare the degree of integration and implementation of water resource management and strategic spatial planning of local municipal authorities internationally. The percentage score as achieved in evaluation of the GAM indicates the degree of integration of water resource management and planning with strategic spatial planning.
The cumulative result of the GAM scored 68% which can be used as a degree of comparison in future studies with other local municipalities, even on an international level. Measured in terms of the different authority levels the local level performed the worst with a 50% GAM score whilst the national level has a high GAM score of 86%. The low local level score indicates that exceptional legislation and policies on national level are not sufficient to eradicate poverty, provide water for all and provide for long-term sustainability if the implementation at local level falters. The low local level score may also be attributed to a lack of institutional capacity and lack of appropriate skills.
It is concluded that Spatial Development Frameworks (as a component of strategic spatial planning) and water resource management and planning on a local level are not effectively integrated and it is recommended that water resources and planned future development must be effectively managed and integrated in order to ensure sustainable communities at local level. As a planning recommendation, the Guidelines for the Development of Spatial Development Frameworks developed by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform must be extended to incorporate the integrative approach between strategic spatial planning and water resource management as a fundamental aspect.
The effective integration of water resource management and planning in strategic spatial planning is key to sustainable, equitable and viable communities.Thesis (MArt et Scien (Urban and Regional Planning))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.
