Linguistic landscapes, understood as the visible presence of language in public spaces, play a critical role in reflecting and constructing social meaning. Despite growing scholarship in each of these domains, existing research has largely examined language, media, art, and law in isolation, resulting in a limited understanding of their interdependent influence on society. Addressing this gap, the study aims to examine how these elements interact to shape cultural identities, public discourse, and institutional practices. The research adopts a qualitative methodology grounded in theoretical analysis and illustrative case studies to explore patterns of interaction across these domains. The findings indicate that linguistic landscapes contribute to the negotiation of cultural identities, while media and art serve as influential platforms for shaping public perception and contesting dominant norms. Legal frameworks further mediate these processes by regulating language use and safeguarding linguistic diversity. The study underscores the importance of an integrated analytical approach and highlights its implications for promoting inclusive, culturally responsive, and equitable societal structures.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong>: Art; cultural identity; language policy; linguistic landscapes; media.</p> Zahra Sadat Roozafzai Copyright (c) 2026 International Journal of New Trends in Social Sciences https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 2025-12-30 2025-12-30 9 2 51 58 10.18844/ijss.v9i2.9514 https://un-pub.eu/ojs/index.php/ijntss/article/view/9748 <p>This study examines the importance of incentivization within microeconomic theory, focusing on its role in shaping individual and organizational decision-making. While traditional research has predominantly emphasized performance-based incentives tied to measurable outcomes, existing literature remains fragmented regarding the effectiveness and sustainability of behavior-based incentives. This gap limits a holistic understanding of how incentives influence long-term behavioral change. The objective of this study is to critically review and synthesize scholarly work comparing behavior-based and performance-based incentivization, with particular attention to their theoretical foundations, empirical support, and practical limitations. Using a structured qualitative literature review methodology, the study draws on microeconomic theory, alternative economic perspectives, and empirical studies to evaluate the mechanisms and outcomes of different incentive models. The findings suggest that behavior-based incentives offer distinct advantages in promoting sustained engagement and alignment with organizational goals, although they also present conceptual and implementation challenges. The study further reveals that contextual and psychological factors significantly influence incentive effectiveness. These insights contribute to advancing theoretical clarity and informing the design of more effective incentive systems. The implications highlight the value of integrating behavior-based approaches into microeconomic models to support more adaptive and sustainable policy and managerial practices.</p> <p><strong><em>Keywords</em>:</strong> Behavioral economics; incentives; microeconomics; organizational behavior; performance incentives</p> Md.
