The aim of the study was to find out whether there is
a connection between applicants and fear of negative evaluation and the use of recruitment
agencies to search for a job. For this purpose, 230 test persons were questioned
by means of a primary statistical data collection in the form of a written and standardized
online survey. A positive correlation between fear of negative evaluation and the
use of recruitment agencies of r=.37 or r=.31 was found.
A difference in terms of fear of negative evaluation or no fear of negative evaluation
and the use of recruitment agencies to search for a job could be determined, but
this cannot be adequately proven. It is advisable for recruitment agencies to establish
a separate personnel marketing strategy for anxious applicants in the future. In
addition, a concept for addressing anxious applicants should be developed.

Employees serve as brand ambassadors and crucial touch
points for any company's customers, as they are the major stakeholders who may make
the difference between a pleased and unhappy consumer. Employee engagement is important
in every industry. As a result, it is crucial for companies to know how their employees
feel about working for them. Employee engagement aids in the understanding of employee
expectations and lays out a path for businesses to achieve those objectives. Motivated
and engaged employees contribute more to the organization's production and help
to maintain a higher level of commitment. An engaged employee is aware of his or
her surroundings at work and collaborates with coworkers to improve job performance
for the benefit of the firm.
Organizations should focus their efforts more on the factors that have the greatest
impact on employee engagement. The study looked at how employee engagement has evolved
over time and described the many types of employee engagement concepts. The goal
of this study is to understand the fundamental concept of employee engagement and
to conduct a literature research to look at the many aspects of employee engagement.
During this literature review, the influence of employee engagement on practitioners
and researchers was discovered. Understanding the determinants will assist management
and employees in creating a healthy work environment and increase employee engagement.

E-commerce platforms adopt various strategies to attract
and retain customers. Though customers could be attracted to the platform through
strategies like discounts and offers, their retention or long term association with
the platform can greatly depend on factors other than low prices. One such factor
is the quality of service offered by the e-commerce platform.
Therefore, this study aimed at understanding the customer evaluation of quality
of service offered by ecommerce platforms and also to evaluate the customer satisfaction
with the quality of service offered by ecommerce platforms. For this purpose, data
was collected from 652 respondents residing in Karnataka, India. Exploratory factor
analysis extracted eight dimensions of e-service quality. The regression results
revealed that quality of service offered by online platforms has a significant impact
on the quality of customer experience.

Text categorization is one of the most important text
mining tasks to deduce patterns for certain targets from a document-based intermediate
form. This study reviews almost basic contents of text categorization: major stages,
classification techniques and empirical researches on applying this tool for documents
written in various kinds of languages.
After reviewing previous researches on this topic, it was found that the effectiveness
of Support Vector Machines method was confirmed in most empirical researches on
text categorization for different languages such as English, Arabic, Korean or Vietnamese.
The study also suggests for future researches on exploring an effective process
of text categorization that can be applied for documents in any kind of language.

For over a decade, the food processing industry has prioritised
on food safety and product quality. Alongside, the concept of eco-friendly and sustainable
consumption among consumers has recently gained momentum. Sustainable product consumption
is being actively promoted by food manufacturers and preferred by consumers over
conventional food products. Food labels are considered to be most effective tool
of communication in marketing. Mandatory and voluntary food labels adhere to a set
of standards and regulations for manufacturing processes. One set of labels that
exists for this purpose is called "sustainability labels," and its sole purpose
is to identify sustainable food options.
In this study, an overview of the current state of research on sustainability labels
is provided, along with a systematic analysis of previous work in the field to shed
light on its potential future evolution. The authors reviewed a decade of empirical
and theoretical research from Scopus journal database. The 89 articles found through
a systematic manner were content analysed. The findings reveal that Indian food
processing industry has a dearth of literature studies on sustainability labels.
Brief insights about challenges and implications were mentioned for further study
in the area of sustainable labelling.
