The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual approach to the formation of an integrated logistics platform for perishable agri-food products within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The methodological framework is based on systems and scenario analysis, SWOT assessment, comparative analysis of the logistics potential of EAEU member states, and modeling of logistics chain efficiency under different levels of integration using panel empirical data for the period 2015–2023. Selected indicators of logistics infrastructure are employed to provide a descriptive assessment of the current state of agrologistics as of 2023. The modeling results demonstrate that coordinated investment policies and regulatory harmonization can significantly enhance the efficiency of agrologistics chains in the context of regional integration. The findings confirm that digitalization and the development of cold chain infrastructure are key determinants of logistics sustainability, while the coordination of regulatory and investment mechanisms substantially improves logistics efficiency across the EAEU member states. Based on the estimated parameters, a scenario-based forecast of agrologistics development up to 2030 is proposed. The study introduces a scalable model of an integrated agrologistics platform incorporating a cluster-based approach, a unified digital framework, and public–private partnership mechanisms adaptable to the specific conditions of EAEU countries. The scientific novelty of the research lies in substantiating a platform-based approach to cross-border agrologistics grounded in the synergy of digital and physical solutions, institutional coordination, and targeted infrastructure policy.

  ANALYSIS OF EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION IN THE NIGERIAN HEALTHCARE AND IT SECTORS

  This study explores the determinants of job satisfaction among professionals in Nigeria's healthcare and information technology sectors, with particular emphasis on the roles of supervisor support, compensation, benefits and workload.

This study explores the determinants of job satisfaction among professionals in Nigeria's healthcare and information technology sectors, with particular emphasis on the roles of supervisor support, compensation, benefits and workload. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey administered to a sample of 195 professionals, and analysed using Pearson correlation coefficients to assess the strength and direction of relationships among the examined variables. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between supervisor support and job satisfaction (r = 0.540), underscoring the critical role of effective leadership in enhancing employee morale. Furthermore, satisfaction with salary and benefits exhibits a strong positive association with overall job satisfaction (r = 0.629), highlighting the importance of offering competitive remuneration packages. Contrary to conventional assumptions, the study also identifies a positive correlation between increased workload and job satisfaction (r = 0.572), suggesting that higher job demands may, under certain conditions, contribute positively to employee engagement and fulfilment. These insights offer valuable implications for organisational policy and human resource management within high-demand professional environments.

  MEASURING THE LEVEL OF ORGANISATIONAL AMBIDEXTERITY OF MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATIONS

  The research on organisational ambidexterity, understood as an ability to effectively solve current problems while ensuring long-term strategic development, is relatively recent. Very limited number of studies focus on ambidexterity in public organisations, or if any, it is considered primarily as an outcome rather than a strategy for achieving ... The research on organisational ambidexterity, understood as an ability to effectively solve current problems while ensuring long-term strategic development, is relatively recent. Very limited number of studies focus on ambidexterity in public organisations, or if any, it is considered primarily as an outcome rather than a strategy for achieving long-term success. This study aims to assess the organisational ambidexterity of a group of municipalities in two ways: by answering questions posed to municipal representatives and by calculating financial indicators that provide evidence of local governments’ preferences for funding current needs and investments for the future. The results were tested for statistically significant difference using the t-test. It is concluded that it is evident from their responses that municipal officials understand the need to achieve organisational ambidexterity, but the data from the analysis of the financial indicators of the studied municipalities clearly indicate a preference for spending on current needs over spending on investment and development.
