This study explores on how Filipino online ESL teachers construct, negotiate, and sustain their professional identity and legitimacy within digital communities of practice with regards to global linguistics-based bias and the precariousness of platformbased labor. The author argues that Filipino online ESL teachers' experiences demonstrate not just adaptability, but also resilience and agency in an increasingly competitive and often inequitable environment in which they teach globally. A qualitative multiple case study methodology was used; semi-structured interview data and classroom observation data were collected and then analyzed using thematic analysis and cross-case analysis. It was found that the teachers' professional identity evolves during "a journey of becoming" as they move from a position of economic necessity to professional commitment and fulfillment. To mitigate challenges including native speaker benchmarking, platform regulation, and technical limitations the teachers use adaptive professionalism, perform accountability, and cultivate multirole identities that include relational engagement. The teachers also utilize human capital through certification and social capital through peer networks and relationships with students. These findings are interpreted through Positioning Theory, Capital Theory, and Community of Practice Theory; these theories illustrate that the teachers transform structural barriers into opportunities for growth and indicate that relational labor, peer collaboration, and ongoing professional development are essential for creating a more sustainable and equitable online ESL teaching environment.

This study investigates the impact of leadership style and organizational culture on Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in selected banks in Southeast Nigeria, including Access Bank (Onitsha), First Bank (Enugu), Zenith Bank (Awka), and United Bank for Africa (Aba). AI technologies such as machine learning, predictive analytics, and chatbots are transforming banking operations by enhancing efficiency, customer service, and fraud detection. However, integration often faces resistance due to employee fears of redundancy, lack of digital skills, and conservative organizational practices. The research highlights that transformational leadership and adaptive cultures foster innovation, reduce resistance, and improve performance, whereas authoritarian leadership and rigid cultures hinder adoption. Guided by Lewin’s Change Management Theory, the study emphasizes transparent communication, employee training, and stakeholder engagement as critical strategies for moderating resistance and ensuring sustainable AI integration. Findings contribute to organizational change literature by contextualizing AI adoption within the socio-cultural dynamics of Nigerian banking, offering practical guidance for leaders and policymakers navigating digital transformation.

This study aimed to design and implement a capacity-building program for Senior High School (SHS) Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) teachers to address specific teaching challenges. Using a qualitative action research approach, the research has identified key gaps within the ABM strand. Through this approach, the particular needs of SHS ABM teachers were analyzed alongside the challenges they face and the effectiveness of current support programs. Six SHS ABM teachers and one Subject Group Head (SGH) from Casiguran Technical Vocational School were selected through purposive sampling. Data gathering was conducted using an interview guide, implementation evaluation, and reflective sheets to gain an understanding of the teachers’ capabilities, challenges, and instructional practices. Insights from the gathered data were used to develop a tailored intervention program. The program was composed of a series of workshops on innovative teaching strategies, enhancement of digital skills, and the creation of effective assessments. Also, mentoring and ongoing support were included in the program to help promote an entrepreneurial mindset among students. Phases were implemented in the capacity training program, and the results were evaluated through participants’ feedback, teacher performance, and improvements in student learning outcomes. Concrete solutions were provided to improve ABM teaching, resulting in increased learners’ engagement, rich learning experiences, and improved academic performance. The results have generated recommendations for the institutional policies and initiatives to improve capacity training and support the continuous professional growth of ABM teachers. In conclusion, the research has provided educators with the core skills and resources to meet the demands of 21st-century education and foster an effective learning environment for the students.

In the contemporary digital economy, start-ups face increasing exposure to cyber threats that can compromise business operations, stakeholder trust, and competitive advantage. Digital start-ups, particularly in emerging economies, often struggle to implement robust cybersecurity and risk management practices due to limited resources, technical expertise, and formal governance structures. This study investigates the role of cybersecurity trust and risk management in enhancing the performance, operational resilience, and stakeholder confidence of digital start-ups. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted, and data were collected from 238 founders, IT personnel, and employees of digital start-ups in Owerri Municipal, Owerri North, and Owerri West in Imo State, Nigeria, using a structured questionnaire titled Cybersecurity Trust and Risk Management Questionnaire (CTRMQ). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. Findings reveal that implementing strong cybersecurity trust practices significantly promotes the adoption of security measures, while structured risk management initiatives effectively enhance the mitigation of cyber threats. The study concludes that integrating cybersecurity trust with proactive risk management equips digital start-ups to safeguard digital assets, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and achieve sustainable growth. It is recommended that start-ups adopt robust security controls, transparent data handling practices, continuous risk assessment, and incident response planning to build resilience and maintain competitive advantage in the digital marketplace.
