The article considers the problem of job satisfaction as one of the key factors in employees' emotional well-being and the organization's productivity. Satisfaction with work is formed by factors such as wages, working conditions, opportunities for professional development, the atmosphere of the team, and the motivation system. It is emphasized that dissatisfaction with work can lead to burnout, reduced productivity, and even dismissal. At the same time, a high level of satisfaction contributes to confidence, initiative, and readiness for new challenges. The purpose of the study is to analyze the impact of motivational tools on the level of satisfaction of employees of LLC TVK Lvivkholod. During the study, methods of questioning, analyzing, synthesizing, inducing, and visualizing the results were applied. During the research, the method of questioning, synthesis, and analysis, induction (in the study of the influence of motivational tools on employee satisfaction), and schematic and graphic images (for the visual display of the received results of the survey) were used. The survey covered 20 employees of different categories, among which the least satisfied were technical workers, and office specialists demonstrated the highest level of satisfaction. The results showed that competitive wages, cash rewards, and bonuses are the most important factors for motivating employees. At the same time, factors such as holiday gifts or weekend work allowances have less impact. The article also provides an assessment of the current motivation system by employees: 57% of respondents rate it as medium or good, but 25% consider it unsatisfactory. Most dissatisfied are in the "transition zone," which indicates the potential for improvement. The study's findings suggest that an effective motivation system that adapts to employees' needs is critical for job satisfaction. A revision of the remuneration system, increasing transparency, regular study of staff opinions, and developing an individualized approach are proposed. Employees who feel valued and receive fair motivation show higher loyalty and effectiveness, which contributes to the success of the organization as a whole.

The article investigates the phenomenon of digital nomadism, recognizing it as a significant transformative trend within the global labor market. This trend is dynamically evolving under the influence of technological innovations and the ongoing evolution of remote employment. The research aims to comprehensively analyze digital nomadism, systematize knowledge about its essence, characteristics, and typology, and identify the key drivers of its development, as well as the advantages and challenges for both the nomads themselves and their host communities. The methodology relies on a qualitative and quantitative analysis, incorporating a deep theoretical literature review using bibliometric and content analysis. It also includes the analysis of secondary statistical data and analytical reports from international organizations and research firms. Additionally, the study examines government policies regarding digital nomad visa programs and assesses their socioeconomic impact on local communities. The research results define a generalized profile of the digital nomad as a young, highly educated professional, primarily from the IT or consulting sectors, who seeks flexibility and work-life balance. Findings indicate that, as of 2024, the number of digital nomads in the U.S. reached 18.1 million, demonstrating substantial growth, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic, which served as a catalyst for this phenomenon. Furthermore, 66 million remote workers worldwide are identified as potential digital nomads. The study also reveals that nomads' destination choices are primarily influenced by the cost of living, internet connection quality, safety, and climate. The implementation of specialized digital nomad visas proves to be an effective tool for addressing legal and tax uncertainties, facilitating their legal status, and attracting highly skilled professionals, thereby stimulating local economies. However, the study also highlights that digital nomads pose certain challenges for local communities, such as rising housing prices and potential social tensions. The practical value of this work lies in formulating recommendations for developing a holistic and inclusive approach to managing the digital nomad phenomenon. This approach aims to foster balanced economic growth and social well-being for both mobile professionals and their host countries.

The article is devoted to the study of human-centrism as a philosophy of the functioning of the HR management system, which ensures the effectiveness of personnel recruitment, their motivation and a high level of intellectual and personnel security of enterprises. It is proposed to understand intellectual and personnel security as the state of the human resource of an enterprise with a high level of intellectual capital, relevant skills and knowledge, capable of counteracting threats and risks arising from the actions or inaction of employees. The main threats to intellectual and personnel security are identified, including high staff turnover, low labour productivity, conflicts and disloyalty. It is substantiated that human-centrism in management personnel focuses management processes on the needs and interests of employees, as opposed to the traditional resource approach to HR management. It is proved that satisfying the needs of personnel forms their loyalty, conscientious performance of duties and the desire for self-development, which are crucial for the economic success of the company. The discrepancy between the concept of human-centrism and the traditional understanding of HR management as "human resources" management is highlighted, however, the value of using the term "human-centric personnel management" to translate a new focus into the management system of organizations is emphasized. The possibilities of integrating the human-centric paradigm into the processes of recruiting and motivating personnel are explored. It is proposed to use digital recruiting and the "broad search" method as human-centric tools that allow finding the optimal candidate. The elements of "full-cycle recruiting" are presented and the importance of the individualization of the hiring process is substantiated. The role of requirements for candidates with line managers and an important attitude towards all applicants is emphasized. The motivational aspect is separately noted, and it is emphasized that diversifying motivation tools to meet the needs of each employee is a sign of a human-centric approach. The use of the StrengthsFinder test is recommended to identify and develop the strengths of personnel. It is concluded that a focus on employees within human-centric HR management allows for the development of accurate HR risk maps and the prevention of conflicts, which is critically important for the stability and growth of an enterprise and for the effective management of its intellectual and personnel security.

In today’s globally interconnected and politically unstable environment, the concept of enterprise economic security has become a strategic priority for firms facing increasingly unpredictable challenges. This article addresses the need for a comprehensive framework that allows enterprises to ensure resilience, continuity, and competitiveness amid political disruptions such as sanctions, trade conflicts, regulatory shifts, and geopolitical tensions. The objective of the study is to explore how economic security policy can be institutionalized at the enterprise level, serving as a foundation for adaptive strategy and sustainable value creation. The research employs a multi-method qualitative design, combining theoretical synthesis, case study analysis, and comparative modeling. The conceptual foundation integrates insights from strategic management, political economy, and systems theory to construct a multidimensional policy architecture. Empirical evidence is drawn from case studies of politically induced business disruptions, including the Russian sanctions regime, Brexit, COVID-19 emergency regulations, Venezuela’s nationalizations, and the U.S.–China trade war. A comparative framework is developed to classify political and economic threats and match them with relevant enterprise adaptation strategies. The results reveal that political dynamics such as lobbying, regulatory volatility, and public–private interdependence are critical determinants of economic resilience. Enterprises that institutionalize political intelligence, scenario planning, compliance flexibility, and ethical governance are more capable of mitigating shocks and capitalizing on emergent opportunities. The findings highlight that economic security is not merely a risk management concern but a strategic imperative embedded in core decision-making. This article contributes both to academic scholarship and managerial practice by offering an integrated model of enterprise economic security policy. Its practical value lies in providing corporate leaders with tools to navigate politically volatile environments without sacrificing strategic clarity or institutional integrity. The proposed framework supports evidence-based decision-making, strengthens adaptive governance, and enhances enterprise agility in the face of systemic uncertainty.

Cryptocurrencies have rapidly emerged as a significant financial asset class, influencing global monetary systems and financial markets. However, their extreme volatility, speculative nature, and evolving regulatory landscape pose challenges to investors, policymakers, and financial analysts. This study presents an in-depth quantitative analysis of cryptocurrency volatility and risk assessment, focusing on Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and its correlation with traditional financial assets, including the EUR/USD exchange rate and S&P 500 index. Our research employs Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) modeling to measure the dynamic volatility patterns of Bitcoin, revealing the asset’s substantial fluctuations over time and its sensitivity to market shocks. Additionally, we utilize Monte Carlo simulations to forecast potential future price movements of Bitcoin, highlighting risk scenarios and the probability distribution of price trajectories over a one-year period. The Value-at-Risk (VaR) model is implemented to estimate potential losses within a given confidence interval, providing a robust measure of downside risk. Furthermore, the study examines the integration of cryptocurrency markets with traditional financial instruments by analyzing cross-asset correlations and volatility spillover effects. The findings suggest that while Bitcoin remains a highly volatile asset, its correlation with the broader financial system is increasing, indicating a potential shift towards mainstream financial adoption. The results contribute to the ongoing debate on whether cryptocurrencies serve primarily as speculative instruments or as viable components of diversified investment portfolios. These insights are valuable for institutional investors, risk managers, and policymakers in designing more effective risk mitigation strategies for cryptocurrency investments.

Human capital is a key factor in driving economic growth at both the national and provincial levels. This study aimed to evaluate how human capital influences economic growth in Fujian by examining data from 2008 to 2020. Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have confirmed approaches to measuring human capital through formal education, cost-based approaches, and income-based approaches. Based on these approaches, the research objective, and data availability, two variables were selected: trained labor and state budget expenditure on education. To examine the impact of human capital on economic growth, the study employs a multivariate OLS regression method with the following tests: Normal Distribution of Residuals, Heteroscedasticity, Autocorrelation, Multicollinearity. The analysis used trained labor and educational budget expenditure as indicators of human capital. The findings indicated that both trained labor and educational spending had a significant positive impact on Fujian's GRDP. While trained workers contributed to increasing the province's economic output, the current level of spending on education and training was not substantial enough to generate a strong effect on the economy. Therefore, Fujian should focus on developing a strategy to cultivate high-quality human capital and enhance the effectiveness of its investment in education and training in the coming years. As the province continues to modernize and integrate into the global economy, its ability to develop and retain a skilled workforce will be a key determinant of its success. The province's policy makers must adopt solutions that encourage workers to invest in improving their skills and productivity, while also fostering a learning culture. In the context of climate change and limited local resources, Fujian’s reliance on human capital will be critical in achieving its goal of becoming a leading province in the China and, eventually, a highly developed region in China by 2030.

This research aims to examine the effect of decentralization, tax revenues as a percentage of GDP, and foreign investment on economic growth using multiple linear regression analysis. The introduction provides a contextual understanding of the importance of understanding the factors that influence economic growth amidst policy changes from pre-decentralization to post-decentralization. Time series data for 49 years (1977-2021) was used for analysis. The independent variables decentralization, tax revenue as a percentage of GDP, and foreign investment were subjected to multiple linear regression on the dependent variable, namely economic growth. Statistical analysis includes evaluation of coefficients, p values, F statistics, and R-squared. The findings show that decentralization and foreign investment have a significant impact on economic growth. However, tax revenues as a percentage of GDP do not show a significant effect on economic growth. This study underscores the important role of decentralization policies and foreign investment in shaping economic growth. This emphasizes the need to formulate economic policy strategies that take these factors into account. However, further research is needed on tax revenues as a percentage of GDP within the scope of this analysis.

The article is devoted to the problem of assessing the level of economic security of enterprises in modern conditions. The authors define economic security as an important aspect of the functioning and development of enterprises in a dynamic economic environment. The authors point out the urgency of the problem of finding criteria and tools for assessing this indicator, given the variety of approaches to determining the economic security of an enterprise in the literature. The methodology uses general scientific and special methods, such as analysis, synthesis, logical, terminological, financial, systemic and structural analysis, systematization and generalization, to confirm the reliability of the results obtained. The approaches and methods for assessing the level of economic security of an enterprise depend on the diversity of interpretations of the very concept of «economic security of an enterprise», which leads to the absence of a single indicator for a full assessment of this phenomenon. Different approaches to assessing the economic security of an enterprise are presented through resource-functional, indicator, profit and investment, three-dimensional, program-target, bankruptcy forecasting, economic and mathematical, systemic and economic risk theory. Each of these approaches uses different methods and criteria to determine the level of economic security of an enterprise. It is noted that economic security assessment can be carried out using various methods, such as expert assessments, regression and variance analysis, exponential smoothing, fuzzy systems theory and multivariate statistical analysis. The author emphasizes the importance of a systematic approach that takes into account internal and external relations, interdependence and subordination of the functional components of an enterprise when assessing the level of its economic security. For a comparative analysis of the levels of functional components of the economic security of enterprise, the authors use the calculation of the rates of change of indicators. The general methodology for calculating indicators of the levels of functional components includes analysis and evaluation of the dynamics of indicators, which indicates trends and changes in various areas of economic security of enterprise.

Factors affecting economic behavior of a person are systematized, and the importance of education for the rationalization of economic decisions in the conditions of BANI World is characterized. It was established that the war had an impact on the economic behavior of Ukrainians, and two almost equal, but differently directed vectors of such an impact were clearly identified: a reduction in costs and an increase in costs to meet needs and realize economic interests. The respondents characterized their patterns of economic behavior as: 38% - active economic behavior; 22% - passive economic behavior; 40% - restrained economic behavior. Four main types of economic behavior in the conditions of BANI World, under the influence of war and the risk of displacement, are offered: emotional, episodic (active type, high level of irrationality); analytical, evaluative (restrained (active/passive) type, high level of rationality and effectiveness); strategic/tactical (passive type, focus on meeting needs in the future); search type - type focused on existing and potential opportunities (active type, diversification of goals, variability of behavior). The definition of the concept of "security-oriented economic behavior" is proposed - as such an algorithm for making an economic decision by a person, which aims to achieve and preserve its financial independence and develop its economic potential at the expense of existing or potentially available resources, which involves the assessment of information on which the possible the result of decision-making, analysis of alternatives, forecast of scenarios of expected results from an economic decision and consideration of risks when choosing the final option of economic action or inaction of a person in the specific conditions. It has been established that transformations of economic behavior under the influence of various challenges and threats, as well as taking into account the theory of generations, have led to a fundamental change in the focus of human economic behavior: middle-aged and elderly people choose a vision - what I have now and how to use it to meet existing needs; young people choose behavior in the context: what do I need and how to get it (at the expense of which resources, skills). Characterized patterns of economic behavior according to each characteristic of BANI World, taking into account the peculiarities of the wartime economy and the risk of displacement.

For Ukraine, which is in a state of hybrid war with the Russian Federation, the issue of effective counteraction to the consequences of massive Russian attacks on the energy system of Ukraine is vital.
