Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • The Mediating Role of Transformational Leadership in the Relationship between Artificial Intelligence and Organizational Performance   Order a copy of this article
    by Seifallah Andayesh, Zahra Kianrad, Heidar Ahmadi, Shib Sankar Sana 
    Abstract: This study investigates the mediating role of transformational leadership in the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) capability and organizational performance. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 141 employees (based on Cochran’s formula) through a five-point Likert scale. AI capability was measured using the 22-item scale developed by Chen et al. (2022), organizational performance using the 19-item scale by Maltick (2015), and transformational leadership using the 12-item scale by Siswanto & Yuliana (2022). The results showed a significant positive relationship between AI capability and organizational performance. Additionally, AI capability had a positive effect on transformational leadership. Moreover, transformational leadership was significantly and positively associated with organizational performance. Most importantly, transformational leadership played a significant mediating role in the relationship between AI capability and organizational performance. This study contributes to the literature on organizational AI by highlighting how leadership mechanisms can effectively translate AI capabilities into enhanced organizational performance.

  • Unlocking Success in Public Sector Management Through Effective Knowledge Management Practices: A Systematic Literature Review   Order a copy of this article
    by Baboucarr Mbowe, Ali Osman Kusakci 
    Abstract: This study, grounded on the knowledge-based view (KBV) theory, aimed to provide a contemporary bibliometric analysis of the literature on public sector knowledge management (PSKM). After following a rigorous set of criteria, 98 peer-reviewed papers from 4 databases, published from 2002 to 2025, were used to perform analyses and scientific mappings using the VOSviewer software package. The findings from our analyses indicate a growing interest in the field. This study also indicated emerging themes such as developing countries, knowledge management practices, knowledge sharing, local government, and tacit knowledge. The implication of this research includes a call to action for academics in this field to work on developing a comprehensive body of knowledge. Furthermore, practitioners and governments are expected to develop knowledge management policies to govern the knowledge transformation journey of their countries. The role of digitalisation in supporting knowledge management programs is also a critical agenda that should be considered.
    Keywords: Public Sector Knowledge Management; Knowledge Management; Bibliometric Analysis; Developing Countries.
