Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The article touches on a very important problem because ESG issues have become important not only in the civil economy, but also in military institutions.

Unfortunately, the article is written in an incomprehensible way. The research part is completely, at least for me, incomprehensible.

The research method is misrepresented. There is no description of the model (the authors write that they use the 3. Choosing the ordinary least square estimation (OLS) technique. But between what and what?

In Tab. 1 they use the GTL1, etc. symbols, but what do they mean? I couldn't find this anywhere.

What can be read from the numbers in the diagram in Fig. 2.

References in the text, e.g. ... refers to [49], [50] are completely illegible. You can briefly describe the information form the references. It is hard to expect that a reader who wants to read the article quickly will have to find 50 other articles on the Internet, not necessarily widely available.

The Discussion presents opinions not resulting from research, e.g.

"In addition, the 234 dynamics of the regions where the village heads work are very different in rural, remote, 235 and urban areas. Village heads develop skills in cooperation and communication with 236 various languages, cultures, and different groups of people."

The lack of a clearly presented research method, presentation of results and their discussion reduces confidence in the research conclusions presented in Conclusion

Reviewer 3 Report

Here are some comments on this study to make it better:

1) The article's content is presented in the direction of describing a process of building and designing an information system rather than a scientific article. The author needs to build the content of the article towards the following contents: (a) Introduction, (b) Literature, (c) Research method, (d) Result, (e) Discussion, and (f) Conclusion and Further research.

 

2) The introduction should be rewritten. One of the most pressing challenges is the theoretical research gap. If other academics have not done anything, it does not imply a research gap; our analysis identified a knowledge gap critical for manuscript submission to SCIE journals. Please provide a well-defined research gap. Typically, the framework will consist of the following elements: the significance of the issue, motivation (optional), research gap(s), aims, and possible contributions (optional). The lack of research gap(s) reduced the paper's value.

3)The sample description should be presented in the Table (age, gender, occupation,…)

4) Some indexes as Standardized Loading factor (GTL1) or AVE of GTL, GHR are not fit.

5) Conclusion should emphasize the contribution of this study as well as limitations, further research

 

6) There are still several language issues found that influence the manuscript's readability. Therefore, the reviewer still suggests that the authors use the service as a native proofreader.

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

With the changes made, the article seems interesting.

There are a number of places where dots should or shouldn't be. Please check it. Similarly, for multiple references - whether they should be separated by commas - please check with the journal editors.

I wish you success in your research work and best regards.
