Design/methodology/approach Based on the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model, this study empirically examines how external stimuli (perceived privacy, perceived security and government support) influence internal evaluations (perceived trust, perceived usefulness and attitude) and, in turn, the intention to use blockchain-based solutions. Data were collected through an online survey in Spain using stratified sampling, obtaining 544 valid responses. The model was tested using partial least squares structural equations complemented with predictive analytics (PLSpredict). Findings The results show that perceived privacy positively affects usage intention, whereas government support and perceived security shape users’ psychological processes. Additionally, attitude shows a powerful mediating effect. Originality/value The S-O-R model, which is more flexible and useful in the context of rapid technological innovation, applied with variables from classic models and more current variables (government support), has helped to reformulate some traditional theoretical relationships and explain the effect of government support on technology adoption.

En los últimos tiempos se ha ido desarrollando toda una filosofía de divulgación de información no financiera que se ha convertido en una prioridad para las organizaciones que buscan ser transparentes y responsables. En esta línea, teniendo en cuenta que digitalización es un tema fundamental a día de hoy, las empresas deberían informar sobre la misma. El objetivo del presente estudio es conocer el grado de divulgación de información sobre digitalización por parte de las empresas del IBEX35, mediante un análisis de contenido a través de sus páginas web. Los resultados muestran que el índice de divulgación total es del 36,80%, lo que manifiesta que las empresas del principal índice bursátil español divulgan poca información en materia digital a través de sus webs, siendo la información que más se divulga la referente a la alfabetización digital.; Digitalization is a challenge for companies, encompassing aspects such as digital literacy, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, social networks, e-commerce and teleworking. In recent times, a whole philosophy of disclosure of non-financial information has been developing, which has become a priority for organisations seeking to be transparent and responsible. In this line, taking into account that digitalization is a fundamental issue nowadays, companies should report on it. The aim of this study is to determine the degree of disclosure of information on digitalization by IBEX35 companies through a content analysis of their websites. The results show that the total disclosure index is 36.80%, which shows that the companies in the main Spanish stock market index disclose little information on digital matters on their websites, with the most disclosed information being on digital literacy. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/112684 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/112681 Responsabilidad social empresarial, cultura organizacional y bienestar laboral de trabajadores de mandos medios del sector automotriz de la industria manufacturera de exportación (maquiladora) de Ciudad Juárez Sepúlveda, Eréndira; Melgar Bayardo, Josefa; Márquez Miramontes, Blanca; Rodríguez Ariza, Lazaro Esta investigación tiene como objetivo principal determinar la relación de la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) con la Cultura Organizacional (CO) y con el Bienestar Laboral (BL), así como la infuencia de la Cultura Organizacional sobre el Bienestar Laboral, desde la percepción de trabajadores de mandos medios en la Industria Manufacturera de Exportación (maquiladora) del sector automotriz de Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. El estudio se desarrolló bajo un enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental y transversal. La muestra estuvo representada por 87 trabajadores de mandos medios de empresas maquiladoras del sector automotriz en Ciudad Juárez. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó la modelación de ecuaciones estructurales mediante el software WarpPLS 7.0, lo que permitió evaluar simultáneamente las relaciones entre los constructos y contrastar las hipótesis planteadas. Los resultados evidencian una relación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre la RSE y la cultura organizacional (β = 0.65, p < .01), por lo que la hipótesis correspondiente no fue rechazada. Asimismo, se encontró una relación positiva y significativa entre la cultura organizacional y el bienestar laboral (β = 0.54, p < .01), confirmando que una cultura organizacional sólida y coherente favorece experiencias laborales más positivas. En contraste, la relación directa entre la RSE y el bienestar laboral resultó débil y no significativa (β = 0.15, p = .08), lo que llevó al rechazo de esta hipótesis.; The purpose of this research is to determine the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility with Organizational Culture and Workplace Well-being, as well as the possible influence of Organizational Culture on Workplace Well-being, according to the perception of middle management workers in the Export Manufacturing Industry (maquiladora) in the automotive sector of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 87 middle management employees from maquiladora companies in the automotive sector in Ciudad Juárez. Structural equation modeling was used for data analysis with WarpPLS 7.0 software, allowing for the simultaneous evaluation of the relationships between the constructs and the testing of the proposed hypotheses. The results provides a positive and statistically significant relationship between CSR and organizational culture (β = 0.65, p < .01), therefore the corresponding hypothesis was not rejected. Furthermore, a positive and significant relationship was found between organizational culture and employee well-being (β = 0.54, p < .01), confirming that a strong and coherent organizational culture fosters more positive work experiences. In contrast, the direct relationship between CSR and employee well-being was weak and not significant (β = 0.15, p = .08), leading to the rejection of this hypothesis. https://hdl.handle.net/10481/112681 https://hdl.handle.net/10481/112680 Difusión pública de información sobre inteligencia artificial en las empresas.

Drawing on top-tier publications from 2020 to 2025, it systematically structures the field around six interconnected domains: public governance and management; public policy and administrative pro- cesses; institutional analysis and reform; public sector innovation and digital governance; social equity and participatory governance; and crisis governance and administrative resilience. Across these domains, the analysis shows that effective public value creation depends on the interaction between institutional design, administrative and policy cap- acities, participatory mechanisms, and increasingly data-intensive and artificial intelli- gence-enabled digital infrastructures. The editorial paper identifies cross-cutting gaps − including limited longitudinal and comparative evidence beyond Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development contexts, insufficient integration of equity and intersectionality in digital participation research, and weak links between innovation and concrete governance outcomes such as trust and distributive effects − and pro- poses six future research lines on: (a) integrating policy capacity and digital transform- ation; (b) institutional adaptation and resilience in complex environments; (c) equity, participation and digital inclusion; (d) crisis governance, administrative learning and resilience; (e) connecting innovation to measurable public value outcomes; and (f) meth- odological advancements through longitudinal, multilevel, network and configurational designs. In doing so, it positions IRAS as a central venue for theoretically ambitious, methodologically rigorous and normatively grounded research that addresses the inter- twined challenges of digitalization, societal complexity and crises in contemporary public administration.
