            "title": "Sociological Mechanisms of Corporate Tax Compliance in Romania",
            "description": "This study examines the sociological mechanisms through which fiscal legitimacy and institutional trust influence corporate tax compliance behaviour in Romania. Drawing on quantitative survey data from 162 companies and semi-structured interviews with corporate decision-makers, the research reveals a fundamental paradox: while tax compliance rates are relatively high among large and medium-sized firms, this compliance is predominantly externally imposed through coercive mechanisms such as surveillance, sanctions, and pressures from banks and business partners, rather than being rooted in internalised fiscal norms or institutional legitimacy. The findings indicate that 37.1% of respondents perceive tax law enforcement as inconsistent, 58% lack confidence in the use of tax revenues, and 56.8% view the tax system as unfair. This erosion of procedural and distributive legitimacy undermines the fiscal social contract and transforms compliance into a defensive strategy that is vulnerable in the long term. The study contributes to fiscal sociology by demonstrating that, in the absence of legitimacy, intensified control produces formal but unsustainable compliance. It advocates for the reconstruction of institutional trust as the foundation of a viable tax system.",

            "title": "Women’s Perceptions of Responsibility in Gendered Leadership Inequity",
            "description": "Despite evidence that women are effective leaders, they remain underrepresented in leadership positions. Drawing on a phenomenological analysis of interviews with 15 women in the United States who were working in or aspiring to leadership roles, this study examines how responsibility for gender inequity in leadership is internalized. Findings reveal a paradox in which participants recognized organizational and societal barriers while simultaneously viewing both leadership attainment and solutions to the gender leadership gap as contingent on personal confidence, determination, self-promotion, and other forms of individual effort, rather than systemic change. Viewed through a broader historical lens, participants’ perceived responsibility reflects internalized oppression shaped by cultural narratives of inherited culpability. Although participants acknowledged systemic discrimination and structural barriers, they positioned themselves as both the cause of and cure for gender inequities in leadership. These findings indicate that the responsibilities assigned to womanhood function as a mechanism of cultural reproduction, redirecting attention away from institutional accountability and allowing systemic inequities to persist.",

            "title": "Issues and Challenges in Adopting Green Skill for TVET Pedagogy",
            "description": "Amidst urgent global agendas for a green transition, the effective integration of sustainability competencies into Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) faces a persistent implementation gap. This qualitative multiple-case study investigates this disconnect by exploring the professional experiences of TVET instructors across four institutions. Utilizing an integrated “Teacher Agency Mediation Model,” the research demonstrates that educators are not passive policy recipients but essential mediators who navigate complex institutional and resource constraints. Findings identify three systemic barriers: 1) the policy-practice divide, 2) resource scarcity and readiness gaps, and 3) lack of industry-institution collaboration. As a result, the burden of integration falls disproportionately on teachers’ own initiative, informal networks, and uncompensated labor. The study concludes that meaningful greening of TVET must shift from relying on individual resilience to co-designing enabling ecosystems. Practical recommendations include the development of context-relevant pedagogical resources, the establishment of structured professional learning communities, and the creation of deeply embedded, reciprocal partnerships with industry. This research contributes to international discourse by framing green skills integration as a complex socio-material process, highlighting the pivotal yet often constrained agency of teachers in advancing sustainable education reform.",
