The recent advancements in digital technologies have made remote work a core aspect of modern organizations, bringing opportunities and challenges for employee well-being. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources model, the study investigates key stressors undermining employees’ well-being within digitalized settings. Fuzzy total interpretive structural modeling (F-TISM) and MICMAC analysis are employed to understand the hierarchical interrelationship and classify the stressors according to their driving and dependence power. The findings reveal low supervisor support, unrealistic supervisor expectations, digital overload, digital fatigue, and constant connectivity as critical drivers undermining remote workers’ well-being in these work practices. The proposed health impairment process of the JD-R model provides theoretical insights into how high job demands in digitalized settings undermine the well-being of remote workers, amid the growing emphasis on digital transition and flexible work models. The developed decision model provides actionable insights for practitioners and policymakers.

Family firms (FF) represent an important business segment worldwide, contributing greatly to their country's GDP and social well-being, giving employment and contributing to communities' development. Due to their particularities, these organizations also face various challenges, one of the most relevant being inter-generational succession – transversal to all FF and their consequent sustainability over time. Given the importance of this issue, through a systematic literature review (SLR), the intention is to provide a general, wide-ranging view of the succession strategies most used by FF, mapping the existing literature. A total of 84 articles from the Scopus database were analysed. Through content analysis and bibliographic coupling techniques (VosViewer), four thematic groups of articles were identified, namely: (i) socio-emotional wealth and corporate governance, (ii) leadership and inter-generational conflicts, (iii) managing succession process and (iv) succession planning drivers. These themes/clusters originated a theoretical framework that depicts the investigation status of the field, and detailed suggestions for future investigations by cluster were also provided. Despite the relevance and long age of succession in FF, this is the first SLR to directly address succession strategies, offering implications for academics and practitioners, to guide a smooth succession.

This study examines research performance indicators and builds a structural overview of topics related to cultural differences in global virtual teams (GVT) in the period 2000-2020. A bibliometric analysis of 151 academic articles on the topic of cultural differences in GVTs, retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases, was applied with the Bibliometrix package in R. The analyses reveal findings regarding the cultural differences in GVTs research, in particular, the most valuable sources, prolific authors, the geography of the research, as well as main scientific articles. The main research themes and their evolution were determined, as well as potential research directions. According to the revealed most relevant themes, the trend of the stream of research is heading towards individual dimensions of the topic, indicating a moved research focus from the organizational level of management and psychology to the individual one.
