Introduction
The introduction should delineate the research context - establish its significance, articulate the research objectives, and identify both the research gap and corresponding research questions.
The rationale for topic selection encompasses the author's motivation for pursuing the particular research area. For instance, the COVID-19 pandemic has created an opportunity to re-examine employee motivation dynamics, particularly in light of the widespread transition to remote work. The research gap emerges through a comprehensive literature review. This review process identifies pertinent questions that arise within the analytical framework after thorough examination of existing literature. Consequently, the research questions must directly emanate from the analysed literature.

Quality Assurance Checklist:
- Does the introduction demonstrate the research significance?
- Are the research objectives explicitly defined?
- Have the research gap and questions been clearly identified?
- Do the research hypotheses emerge logically from the literature review?
- Is there a succinct overview of the article structure at the conclusion of the introduction?
Literature review / Theoretical background
The article should be grounded in current literature that reflects the international context of the analysed issue. While research may focus on national economies and entities, the research context (including topic justification, research gap, and conclusions) should incorporate an international perspective to engage readers from various countries.
The author should present the state of knowledge in the area corresponding to the empirical analysis section. This involves identifying previous researchers who have addressed the topic, summarising the conclusions from earlier studies, and positioning the current research within the context of previous analyses.

Quality Assurance Checklist:
- Is the literature in the article current?
- Does the literature demonstrate the international context of the conducted analyses?
- Does the literature review present the findings from previous research?
- Has the author positioned their analysis within the context of previous research?
- Is the literature appropriately synthesised?
Methods
The Methods section should be organised chronologically and specify all stages of the research process. This section must detail the data collection procedures (data sources, selection criteria, research period) along with their limitations. The research methods employed should be described thoroughly to ensure replicability. In this context, this section serves as the foundation for establishing the credibility of research findings and must provide readers with a clear understanding of how conclusions were drawn.
Quality Assurance Checklist:
- Does the section contain a description of data collection procedures?
- Is the research method described with sufficient clarity (is it replicable)?
- Is the choice of research method justified?
Results / Findings
Research findings should be presented in a detailed and objective manner, focusing on reporting without extensive interpretation. Results should be presented in order of importance, beginning with those that address the main research questions.
Quality Assurance Checklist:
- Are the research findings discussed in detail?
- Is the line of reasoning presented in this section clear?
Discussion
This section provides a broader interpretation and context for the findings. Results should be compared with the authors' initial predictions and examined alongside existing research in the field. Any unexpected findings should be explained, highlighting how they either support or challenge current theories.
Quality Assurance Checklist:
- Have the findings been thoroughly interpreted?
- Have the results been compared with existing research?
- What is the outcome of research hypotheses verification?
- Has it been indicated how the conducted research contributes to the existing body of knowledge?
Conclusions
The Conclusions section should provide a clear summary of the main research findings, along with their theoretical/practical implications, research contribution, limitations and suggestions for future research.
Quality Assurance Checklist:
- Is there a clear summary of the main findings?
- Are the theoretical and/or practical implications clearly stated?
- Is the research contribution clearly explained?
- Have the research limitations and future research directions been identified?
References
All sources listed in the References section must be cited within the text of the article.
The journal follows APA style for citations and references. Please include DOI numbers where available. References must be listed alphabetically by author surname. When citing multiple works by the same author, arrange them alphabetically by title.
