Title: Analysis of the usage of Social Media during the Covid-19
Abstract
The research aims to critically appraise the quality and validity of information available on YouTube as a source of information for COVID-19 and examine the emotional consequences of COVID-19-related information shared via Twitter. 106 YouTube videos were identified using the COVID-19 associated particular keywords. Two independent observers reviewed the English-language videos as 'useful' or 'misleading'. The Word-Emotion Association (Lexicon) was employed to conduct an emotional analysis of the people regarding COVID-19 via Twitter. 28 videos were classified as 'misleading' while 78 videos were classified as 'useful'. Findings highlighted variations in viewer behaviour in response to different types of videos. YouTube provides a vast amount of information on COVID-19, and integrating particular characteristics could enhance the popularity of YouTube videos. The number of positive sentiment Tweets was approximately equal to the number of negative sentiment Tweets. YouTube has become a significant source of health information during the current crisis. Independent users are more likely to upload misleading videos. Emotional analysis using Twitter data may be utilised by authorities to comprehend the psychological well-being of individuals.
Keywords: YouTube, Twitter, COVID-19, Corona virus, Pandemic, Social Media, Technology.

Title: An Analysis of Human Resource Practices: A Comparison between the Hospitality Industry and other Sectors
Abstract
The success of public and private sector organizations is largely determined by the knowledge, skills, and motivation of their workforce. The private sector currently dominates the provision of services, accounting for 70% of services provided. Within the private sector, the hospitality industry is particularly dependent on a multidisciplinary workforce with various categories of employees. Supervisory staff, middle management, and senior executives all play crucial roles in ensuring the provision of high-quality hospitality services. Effective personnel management is essential to ensure that the qualitative and quantitative needs of different departments are met. However, the hospitality industry operates in a dynamic and complex environment, which can lead to challenges such as lower occupancy rates, higher capacity, shorter guest stays, and negative impacts on the hotel's reputation. Therefore, the quality of care provided to guests is of utmost importance in the hospitality industry, as it can directly affect business growth and performance. Adequate guest care and preferences must be taken into account, and strategies should be in place to ensure that the hospitality services meet guests' needs and preferences.
Keywords: Personnel Management Sector, Public Sector, HR Practices, High Quality, Healthcare, Hospitality Industry, Human Resources Management.

Title: The Influence of Building Digital Culture on Employees' Engagement in the ICT Sector
Abstract
Culture is the heart of any organization. In organizations, culture is like the DNA of the organization. Thus, each organization is unique. In this context, corporate culture is not only created by the founders, management, and employees of a company, but is also influenced by national cultures and traditions, economic trends, international trade, company size, and products. Organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders. Digital transformation is a cultural transformation that affects the majority of people who work, and it will never be realized unless companies are confident with their employees and believe that digitalization can help organizations, people, and society achieve a better future. Based on that, employee engagement in digital transformation is a necessity, where an "engaged employee" is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work and takes positive action to further the organization's reputation and interests. Accordingly, effective digital transformation can never be achieved unless companies build confidence among their staff that digitalization can help organizations, people, and society to achieve a positive future.
Keywords: Digital Culture, Digital Transformation, Corporate Culture, Building Culture, Information Communication Technology, Employee Engagement, Organizational Culture, Power of Digitization, Digital Culture Challenges.

Title: Impact of Social Media on Tourism Industry in India
Abstract
Tourism is a great source of revenue for any country, and the media plays a critical role in promoting tourism in many ways, including information search, decision-making behaviors, and focusing on best practices for interacting with customers. Educational tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors of travel and tourism, but it often goes overlooked by tourism professionals and marketers. The emergence of social media has caused a significant shift in marketing strategies. Individuals, corporations, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), governments, and other organizations can use social media to view, produce, and share information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression in digital communities and networks. According to research, social media plays a vital role in promoting educational tourism, which improves and enhances a country's economic, social, political, and cultural life. This study proposes that, for destination visits, the variables of customer perceived value should be examined using the social networking approach.
key Words: Social Media, Tourism, NGOs, Educational Tourism, Corporations, Advertising, Marketing Strategies.

Title: The Impact of Leadership and Management on Remote Workers: Everyday Tips for Success, Not Just During a Pandemic (Covid - 19)

Abstract: -

Although the concept of remote employees is not new, companies increasingly find themselves dealing with remote workforce concerns and challenges. The recent event of the COVID-19 pandemic caused many employers to change the way their workforce operates by changing to a remote workforce model. While some companies were ill equipped to deal with this sudden, drastic change, many organizations found the change to be a positive one from the standpoint of overhead cost savings. The positive financial implications, however, were met with leadership, management and employee challenges. This paper explores the challenges and benefits of having a remote workforce and offers recommendations to leaders and managers on how best to support their employees in this growing type of organizational structure.

Keywords: Leadership, Management, Remote Workers, Remote Employees, Virtual Teams, Pandemic, Covid-19.

Title: A Study on the Impact of Advertising Appeals on Consumer Buying Decision

Abstract: -

Advertisement is considered a powerful tool for any company to promote their product. Advertising appeal is a connection between the consumer and the product through emotions and logic. It is all about persuading people with the help of credibility, emotions and underlying logic. It is crucial to the advertising practitioners to understand which appeal influences the particular target market and which appeal works effectively with the product being advertised. This research aims at finding the major advertising appeals that influence the customers. Another aim is to check the variance of advertising appeal over gender. The study aims not only to find whether there is any impact of advertising appeal but works on deducing the specific appeal that influences the customer. This study uses the quantitative approach to find the impact of advertisement appeals on customers. Descriptive research study is conducted using structured questionnaire with sample size of 271. Chi-square and Anova has been used to analyze the data and find association between the advertising appeals and their influence on consumer behavior. Results from the study show that there is a significant variance between the groups of gender when compared with comedy appeal. Males are more influenced by comedy appeal compared to females. The research results also indicate that females prefer emotional appeal more whereas males prefer comedy appeal. Respondents have a negative response towards the advertisement that portrays high negative emotions because that protrudes fear appeal for the customer.

Keywords: Advertising Appeals, Rational, Emotional, Status, Fear, Attitude, Perception, Consumer Behavior.
