ARBITRATION REGULATORY ISSUE ON INTEGRITY IN LABOR-MANAGEMENT CONFLICT RESOLUTION IN THE PHILIPPINES: HOP ON OR HOP OFF?
No full textObjectives: The research aimed to assess the role of the private sector in influencing or affecting the integrity performance of the arbitration process and the actors involved. It intended to propose a monitoring solution to the regulatory issue on integrity through public-private collaboration.
Methods: The researcher utilized purposive non-parametric study of two Philippine government agencies involved in the administration of justice in Metro Manila. They employed a descriptive survey method to identify, describe, and document the influence of stakeholders. Additionally, focus group discussions among selected practitioners/litigants from workers, employers, and lawyers, along with interviews of resource persons from various areas of justice administration, were conducted to validate and clarify survey results.
Results: The study revealed a volatile environment in labor justice administration, wherein existing mechanisms proved vulnerable to corruption. It highlighted concerns such as partiality, lack of credibility, and independence of arbitrators, which eroded public trust in the arbitration process and outcomes.
Conclusion: The study proposes a paradigm shift from the current compartmentalized and complaint-driven anti-corruption strategy to the researcher’s conceptualized “A.C.T.I.V.E. Public Service Delivery.” This approach aims to address identified integrity gaps related to vertical, horizontal, external, and developmental accountabilities. By doing so, it seeks to enhance the integrity performance of the arbitration process and restore public trust in labor justice administration

THE CONSTITUTIVE ROLE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE BETWEEN LEGAL SECURITY REQUIREMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT IMPERATIVES
No full textObjective: This study aims to shed light on the role of the administrative judge in achieving legal security. It begins by highlighting the role of the administrative judge as a source of legal principles and his relationship with legal security. Then, it addresses the guarantees of enshrining legal security within this role by highlighting the legal controls related to issuing, retracting, and unifying foundational decisions. Subsequently, it discusses the problems hindering the realization of the concept of legal security and the proposed solutions, especially those ensuring the balance between the requirements of the evolution of judicial jurisprudence and the stability of legal principles.
Methods: This study relies on a set of scientific research methods, most notably the analytical method, which involves analyzing legal texts related to the organization of the judicial reasoning process. Additionally, the descriptive method is used to describe the reality of administrative judicial reasoning. At times, the comparative method is also employed, comparing legal texts as a result of ongoing legal developments.
Results: It is concluded that the constitutive role of the administrative judge contributes to achieving legal security. The importance of this role is particularly heightened in the field of administrative legislation, considering the deficiencies and ambiguities that characterize it, in addition to it being one of the most rapidly evolving areas of law. However, the matter is not without some practical problems, due to the fluctuation and contradiction of judicial interpretations, which undermines the concept of legal security.
Conclusion: The constitutive role of the administrative judge is considered a crucial guarantee for achieving the concept of legal security. This role manifests in the sense that the administrative judge, through the process of judicial reasoning, seeks to address deficiencies, remove ambiguities, and keep pace with developments, all of which are essential aspects of legal security. Given the challenges posed by the reality of judicial reasoning, particularly concerning the fluctuation and contradiction of judicial interpretations, it necessitates a reconsideration of the legal organization of the reasoning process and a focus on the specialization of the administrative judge. Most importantly, there is a need to enhance the guarantees that ensure a balance between the requirements of the evolution of judicial reasoning and the stability requirements of legal principles
IMPACT OF SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN IN GHANA'S PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR ON UPSTREAM PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
No full textPurposes: In today's business landscape, success isn't solely reliant on financial goals. Adapting to the global economy is crucial for a company's viability. Stakeholders prioritize business sustainability, evident in empirical studies exploring sustainable supply chain management theories in the sector. The study aimed to assess how Sustainable Supply Chain in Ghana's Pharmaceutical Sector influences firm performance within the upstream industry.
Method: The study was conducted in the accessible southern part of Ghana, known for its concentration of pharmaceutical companies. Specifically, individuals involved in procurement and supply chain activities within these companies were selected for inclusion in the study. The study used quantitative methods to explore Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) in the upstream pharmaceutical industry. Out of 2000, 210 managers were randomly sampled, and SPSS Version 26 was employed for structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis.
Results and Conclusion: The study found that there was a significant relationship between SSCM and supply chain performance (SSCMP). Besides, the study found moderation impact between Top Management Commitment (TMC) and SSCM and SSCMP respectively. Pharmaceutical companies should not solely focus on economic performance; rather, strategic efforts and policies must prioritize sustainability. Top management commitment is crucial for enhancing supply chain performance. Their dedication ensures the integration of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) with strategic objectives, embedding sustainability across the entire supply chain, from procurement to distribution.
Research Implication: Top management should drive sustainability strategy, integrating it into operations and fostering a culture of sustainability for robust Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the pharmaceutical upstream sector.
Originality/Value: the study leverages on the theoretical understanding of upper echelon theory to provide empirical evidence on the impact of top management commitments on performance of supply chain which hitherto has been scarcely deployed in recent years

No full textPurpose: Top management plays a crucial role in implementing Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices, especially in developing countries, by driving performance, securing resources, and promoting necessary changes. This study explores how top management's commitment and strategic leadership impact SSCM adoption and implementation in developing countries like Ghana, where SSCM adoption rates are low and empirical research is lacking.
Method: Using a qualitative research design and a systematic literature review from the SCOPUS database, the study analyzes peer-reviewed studies from 2010 onwards.
Results and Conclusion: Findings reveal that top management's commitment to sustainability fosters organizational responsibility, innovation, and compliance with ethical standards, encouraging proactive approaches to opportunities, market adaptation, and green practices.
Research Implication: These insights provide practical recommendations for improving performance, building trust, and achieving sustainable development goals, contributing significantly to the understanding of SSCM practices and their positive impact on organizational performance.
Originality/Value: By leveraging empirical work this study builds analytical patterns on issues that relate with management roles and sustainable supply chain management. The standardized assessment of the issues provides a trustworthy result as this study does not entirely rely on the exclusive opinion of the researchers but is based on standard deduction of the role of managers in ensuring the adoption of sustainable supply chain management within industries
