Impostor Phenomenon is a phenomenon well-studied by psychologists. It is prominent in individuals with outstanding skills, and also very common in women. It may arise for a variety of reasons, two factors of them stand as very relevant of why it happens: family dynamics and pressure to perform at work. Imposter syndrome may carry important consequences not only for the person who suffers from imposterism, but also for those who surround them. When the “imposter” is in a supportive environment, this may help the person to cope with those feelings and with that lack of confidence, and they perform at the highest level possible.

Is there more to sustainability than shopping wisely?

Sustainability depends less on consumer choices and more on how supply chains are structured. Research on Brazil’s beef sector shows that, despite the BRSL initiative to improve sustainability, results fell short. Four types of distance geographical, organizational, cultural, and relational hindered collaboration. These gaps created communication problems and weakened trust among stakeholders. Real progress requires external mediators, such as governments or NGOs, to reconnect the entire supply chain.

Italy’s Waste Crisis: How the Mafia Turned Trash into Tragedy

For over 40 years, poor waste management in Italy allowed the Mafia to illegally dispose of toxic waste, causing a major health crisis and soaring cancer rates. Despite late government intervention, economic interests consistently outweighed environmental and public protection. This crisis shows that waste management is fundamentally about power and social justice, with certain communities unfairly bearing the burden.

What does gender equality in organizations really mean?

Gender equality goes beyond numbers it’s about inclusion. While laws like Copé-Zimmermann have increased women’s representation, true equality means ensuring their voices influence decisions and their contributions are valued. Intersectionality shows that barriers are often compounded by factors like ethnicity or age. The real transition is moving from diversity to inclusion creating cultures where every voice counts and equality drives innovation and resilience.

Artificial Intelligence in recruitment : Is ethics a lever for Business Attractiveness?

More organizations use AI in the hiring process than ever before, yet the perceived ethicality of such processes seems to be mixed. With such variation in our views of AI in hiring, we need to understand how these perceptions impact the organizations that use it. In two studies, we investigate how ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness and innovativeness. Our findings indicate that ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are positively related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness, both directly and indirectly via perceptions of innovativeness, with variations depending on the type of hiring method used. For instance, we find that individuals who consider it ethical for organizations to use AI in ways often considered to be intrusive to privacy, such as analyzing social media content, view such organizations as both more innovative and attractive.

Human artificial intelligence at the service of hyperperformance

Artificial intelligence is already transforming lives and organizations. It brings a huge potential, for example, to achieve hyper-performance. Which is not about adding more trainings. But rather finding and removing obstacles from human minds. And artificial intelligence can facilitate that efficiently. It can help us to learn more about our own intelligence. Thus, giving us a unique chance to finally re-unite both intelligences.

What is Hyper-Performance?

It is a state of performance when all unnecessary human thought is minimized or completely suppressed. Such as bad judgments, distracting thoughts, subjective biases, bad decisions, etc. For example, employees may be reluctant to accept artificial intelligence. That means there’s something in their mind that stops them. That something is the root cause.
