Investor attention to this justice movement is measured by the weekly intensity of the Google search for the topic ?fossil fuel divestment?. We employ a sample of 8 regional equity indices that exclusively comprise fossil fuel-related stocks over the 2012-2021 period. We find that investor attention to the fossil fuel divestment movement is positively and significantly related to the realized and conditional volatility of fossil fuel companies from both developing and developed countries. These findings contribute to improve our collective understanding of the implications of climate protection movement on energy sector in both developed and developing countries.},

This result is remarkably robust after conducting a difference-in-differences analysis that exploits brokerage closures and mergers as an exogenous decrease in analyst coverage, as well as using an instrumental variable approach. The positive influence of analyst coverage on corporate environmental disclosure is particularly evident for firms that cause high environmental damage, firms with low information asymmetry and those followed by analysts with superior experience, accuracy and reputation. Taken together, our empirical findings provide new insights into the bright side effect of analyst coverage on corporate environmental-related activities.},

journal = {Journal of Applied Accounting Research},

abstract = {Purpose - This study aims to examine the extent to which information asymmetry affects investment

efficiency and whether the presence of blockholders moderate this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach - We employ the data of firms listed on the Malaysian stock exchange for

the period 2010-2018, to compose our sample. Our final sample includes the 100 largest non-financial firms

based on market capitalization. Collectively, these 100 companies contribute 84.2% to the total market

capitalization (MYR 1,730bn) which is representative of the whole market. The ordinary least squares

regressions were used as the main estimation technique. The system generalized method of moments, twostage least squares and propensity score matching were also used, to address potential endogeneity

concerns.

Findings - We document a positively significant association of information asymmetry with investment

inefficiency. These results imply that information asymmetry reduces investment efficiency and enhances suboptimal investments. We also document that blockholders negatively moderate the relationship of information

asymmetry with investment inefficiency. Further analyses show that investment inefficiency is higher in lowgrowth firms than in high-growth firms because of higher information asymmetry.

Research limitations/implications - We focus on Malaysia, which is a predominantly common-law

Anglo-Saxon country. Graff (2008) documented that the investors are treated differently across legal

systems and there are differences between the continental European and Anglo-Saxon countries. La Porta

et al. (1999) documented that investors tend to have more legal protection in Anglo-Saxon countries.

Therefore, our results may not be generalized to countries with different legal systems.

Practical implications - An important implication of our findings is that stakeholders may encourage the

presence of blockholders and give them a voice to weaken the positive relationship between information

asymmetry and investment inefficiency.

Originality/value - This study contributes to the contingency literature by investigating the moderating

effect of an important governance mechanism, i.e. the presence of blockholders on information asymmetryinvestment efficiency nexus. Despite being important, this moderating effect has been largely overlooked in the

literature. Our study contributes by providing an understanding of how blockholders can influence investment

decisions, offering insights for academics, investors and policymakers focused on improving the efficacy of

investment decisions and governance structure.},

abstract = {Social media influencers have gained significant popularity particularly within marketing research. However, their impact extends beyond purchase decision making, as they also have the potential to influence attitudes and behaviors through the lifestyles they promote in their content. This study aims to explore the role of influencers in promoting healthier habits, with a specific focus on home-cooking. By investigating how influencers can generate vicarious experiences through recipe content, we aim to understand their impact on individuals' intentions to cook at home. Grounded in social influence theory, we build an original research model that we evaluate using self-reported data obtained from 213 French female social media users and the partial least squares approach. The findings of our study reveal that positive vicarious experiences are driven by the followers' parasocial relationship with influencers, a sense of social belonging, and the entertainment factor of the observed behavior. These experiences help shaping followers' intentions to imitate the influencer's behavior, such as cooking the recipes they propose. Additionally, we found that the attractiveness of the recipes, the followers' inclination towards novelty seeking, and their own cooking experience all contribute positively influencing this intention. Overall, our study sheds light on the ability of influencers to exert influence beyond purchase intentions. They possess the power to make a positive impact on their followers' behavior by providing an immersive vicarious experiences and encouraging a shift towards healthier habits, such as home-cooking.},

Our findings reveal that heightened climate risk prompts SMEs to self-ration credit, leading to higher probabilities of discouraged borrowers. Our research deepens the understanding of the impact of climate risk on credit-related decisions, stressing the need for proactive measures to integrate climate risk assessments into regulatory frameworks and lending practices. The findings underscore the vulnerability of SMEs to climate risk, emphasizing emphasising the importance of tailored support mechanisms for economic resilience.},

abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of chief executive officer (CEO) overconfidence on

earnings quality and the moderating role of ownership structure as a crucial corporate governance device.

Design/methodology/approach - The paper uses the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation

method to test our models on a sample of 335 French companies between 2009 and 2020, i.e. 4,020 observations.

Findings - The results show that CEO overconfidence negatively affects earnings quality. This result

supports the predictions of behavioral finance theory and suggests that CEO overconfidence is a behavioral

bias that affects the quality of earnings. The authors also examined the effect of different types of ownership

structures on this relationship. The results show the significant role of controlling shareholders, owner-

managers, families and institutional investors in mitigating the negative effect of CEO overconfidence on

earnings quality.

Research limitations/implications - This paper has some limitations. First, other types of ownership

structures could have been analyzed such as state ownership. Second, we ignored the role of the board of

directors as an important governance mechanism in controlling overconfident CEOs' actions.

Practical implications - Companies should be aware of the potential risks associated with CEO

overconfidence, which can compromise the faithful representation of earnings. This highlights the importance

of effective monitoring and internal controls to detect and prevent such practices, which involve the role of

ownership structure.

Originality/value - This paper addresses the effect of CEO overconfidence on earnings quality and provides

new evidence on the role of different ownership structure types in shaping this relationship. Additionally, this

paper sheds new light on how overconfident CEOs may behave in challenging times.},

In this article, we draw out and problematize an antecedent to selective disclosure, public attention. Prior studies suggest that public attention brings scrutiny that reduces selective disclosure by increasing the risk of getting caught (the floodlight thesis). The impression management literature, however, suggests that public attention offers the possibility of broad-based image benefits from the disclosure of strategically filtered data (the spotlight thesis). Panel regressions with Trucost data from 2008-19 provide overall support for the spotlight thesis as well as a negative moderator, environmental damage. Results also point to an underlying mechanism: Companies receiving public attention disclose a larger number of environmental metrics, but not ones that, altogether, represent more environmental damage, a tactic that we call strategic fluffing.},

abstract = {Despite the two sides of deviant behaviors and the fact that knowledge brokers are sometimes presented in a negative light due to their unique position, this article unveils from an innovation perspective how these two intricate individual-level concepts bring positive outcomes in complex environments. While previous work has highlighted the positive impact of constructive workplace deviance on organizations and their members, research on the antecedents of such deviance is scarce. We use knowledge brokers as an unexplored and pertinent means of enacting innovative constructive deviance. Indeed, knowledge brokering supports innovation by connecting, recombining, and transferring disconnected pools of ideas. A case study of a high-tech company was conducted. We focused on three B2C and B2B co-creation projects as one of the main open innovation strategies. The results suggest that knowledge-brokering activities with customers or partner firms enact innovative constructive deviance in different ways and accelerate creativity and innovation within the organization. This paper contributes to the debate on deviant behaviors and brokering activities within the open innovation paradigm. We enrich the microfoundational perspective of the open innovation literature, shed light on the determinants of innovative constructive deviance, and provide empirical evidence of the relationship between brokering activities and deviant behavior. On a managerial level, the findings suggest that knowledge-brokering activities among multiple stakeholders foster innovative behaviors within co-creation projects.},

Neither firm strategies and processes, nor IB theories and models have yet caught up with increasing politicization. In this paper, we pose three questions: why are firms increasingly affected by politics in their internationalization? How do firms respond to the increasing role of politics? And finally, how do theories considered foundational across IB research incorporate politics? We discuss how the resource-based view, transaction cost economics, institutional theory and agency theory relate to politics. Further, we identify eight predominant dimensions where firms are affected by politics. Finally, we suggest that the increasing role of politics can be ascribed not only to specific macro-level historical events but also to more fundamental micro-level transformations in prevalent institutional configurations of firms' value adding activities.},

We explore the channels through which government awards create value and find evidence that they provide awarded CEOs and their firms with increased political access. We also observe that government awards are associated with better corporate governance in that awarded CEOs are more likely to be fired for poor performance. The negative effects that have been documented for media awards and are associated with CEOs' superstar status do not seem to apply to state awards.},

abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this article is twofold. Its first objective is to bring to the fore the unexplored and neglected origins of social exchange theory (SET) to critique this body of conjecture. This unearthing is illustrated through focusing on the way the theory was developed and how this development was mischaracterised in literature. Its second objective is to invoke the methodological assemblage of ANTi-History and the ?close reading? notion using multiple archival sources to demonstrate their usefulness within the

critical qualitative method debate.

Design/methodology/approach - The historic character of management and organization studies is exemplified through utilizing a combination of textual sources to examine how SET emerged from within the human relations school of thought throughout much of the twentieth century. Specifically, an array of sources

(including archival data) is deployed and closely examined to trace how SET formed and became prevalent in organizational studies over the last decades.

Findings - SET is not only indebted to the human relations movement in general and to Elton Mayo's work in particular (as is well-known), but also to logical positivism and behavioralist-school psychology. As such, Homans' work marked the beginning of a new era in organizational behavior research.

Originality/value - The article highlights the role of historical analyses in interpreting mainstream constructs in organizational behavior. In doing so, it reveals how critical qualitative research leads to understanding some shortcomings of a theory and indicates potential remedies.},

The representative volume element (RVE) was used in association with a choice of a behavior law and a damage law as an input data. Algorithms for ML classification such as K-nearest neighbors (k-NN) and a special k-NN with a dynamic time warping (DTW) metric were used. The hierarchical clustering through dendrograms visualizations allowed to exhibit the impact of composite parameters in relation to fiber, matrix properties and  fiber volume fraction on the strain degradation under external static pressure. Continuing this, the optimum RVE which shows a low degradation value will be exhibited.},

Design/methodology/approach - A conceptual paper which explains the role of political advantage in the internationalization of SOMNEs. The authors expand the scope of the OLI to capture the impact of firms' home governments' policies and relationships with host countries which are leveraged by SOMNEs in their internationalization. 

Findings - The authors define political advantage as a new type of advantage which depends on and is sourced from external actors. The authors argue that P-advantage is a multifaceted and unstable part of POLI composition, which is contingent on political shifts and may be leveraged by various firms. The authors also assert that political capabilities have limitations in sustaining political advantage, which may be compensated via enhancing the political activity of firms. 

Originality/value - The authors conceptualize the POLI-advantages paradigm for the internationalization of SOMNEs by proposing that in addition to the traditional ownership, location, and internalization advantages, firms can capitalize on their political advantage to enter markets where internationalization might have been difficult without their political connections.},

A mixed-method, two-stage approach was adopted. First, a qualitative study and a pilot study aimed to capture and understand what motivates people to buy NFTs-virtual clothes and identify contextualized U&Gs. Second, two original confirmatory studies verified the U&Gs of purchasing virtual clothes and investigated how they differ based on brand category (luxury vs. non-luxury). The results show that enjoyment, social interactivity, and curiosity are the main predictors of NFTs-virtual clothes purchases. Consumers mainly seek hedonic, social, and technological gratifications as part of the digital fashion consumption trend. Brand managers must recognize virtual clothing gratifications for effective virtual world positioning. Products should encourage networking, community, and user interaction. Demographics and virtual experience should be considered to understand NFT-virtual clothes motivations.},

Our analysis also indicates that firms with gender-diverse committees are more likely to recycle their waste. Our findings are robust to alternative estimation techniques and variable specifications, sub-sample analyses, and different identification strategies.

We conducted three separate studies (two surveys and one experiment) with a French population of social network platform users. Our results showed that the entertainment value of an observed behavior is the main driver for imitation on social media, along with self-efficacy, at least for women. Mixed results were obtained for social benefits. The perceived ease of the recipe, cooking experience, and explicit verbal encouragement were positively related to self-efficacy. Surprisingly, the effect of health and economic benefits or concerns and labeling was not confirmed.},

While prior research has demonstrated the benefits of task proactivity, little is known about its cognitive costs. To investigate this issue, we build theory on how task proactivity affects end-of-day cognitive performance. We propose that task proactivity involves deviating from established ways of working and engaging in cognitively demanding activities requiring high levels of mental effort, which manifest as an erosion of end-of-day cognitive performance. In two daily diary studies, we found that individuals engaging in task proactivity experience lower end-of-day cognitive performance (Study 1 over five consecutive workdays: n = 163, k = 701; Study 2 with multiple daily assessments over seven consecutive workdays: n = 93, k = 471), even when controlling for task performance (Study 1) and beginning-of-day cognitive performance (Study 2). In two experiments, we then show that simulating task proactivity results in greater mental effort and lower routineness but not in greater ego depletion (Study 3: N = 318 and Study 4: N = 319) or increased self-control demands, -effort, or -motivation (Study 4). This provides support for our proposed cognitive pathway. Our findings enhance our understanding of the cognitively demanding nature of task proactivity and provide empirical support for its cognitive costs using a mental fatigue lens. They also suggest that the impact of a cognitively demanding activity like task proactivity may persist throughout the day and carry over to other tasks involving cognitive performance.},

abstract = {Secondary loop architectures and phase change material (PCM) slurries could reduce the environmental impact of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems by lowering significantly the amount of primary refrigerants. However, there is a barrier to their industrial development due to the lack of studies on their behaviour in operational scenarios. The present work analyses the behaviour of different secondary loop systems in an industrial context, here the air conditioning of a supermarket in France. For this purpose, a generic approach, developed in previous work, is proposed to assess their potential of adoption. This modelling approach is able to describe the sustainability and operational performance (energy, environmental, economic, social) of refrigeration systems. After validation of the model on real architecture and components, five standard or new architectures were tested: centralized direct expansion system; secondary loop system with ethylene glycol water; secondary loop system with ice slurries, TBPB hydrate slurries or CO2 hydrate slurries. The main results of this study show that new secondary systems using hydrate slurries have better cooling energy performance than direct expansion or classical brine / ice slurry secondary systems. Moreover, even including pumping power, the life cycle climate performance of secondary loop systems is much better than that of direct expansion systems. However, the total cost of ownership of direct expansion systems is lower than that of secondary systems, but with little differences for smaller pipes. Finally, trade-offs between several performances can be proposed. For example, some architectures with suitable pipe diameters could meet TCO/LCCP-based and CAPEX/pumping-based trade-offs.},

abstract = {The research problem



In this study, we examined the effect of an important informal institution, namely, national culture, on audit fees in an international context.



Motivation



In recent years, extant literature has increasingly focused on country-level differences in the audit environment, as these might have a significant influence on how financial statement audits are conducted across the globe. We contribute to this stream of literature by investigating the impact of national culture on audit fees.



The test hypotheses



Based on the demand- and supply-side perspectives of audit fees, we hypothesized that national culture dimensions ? namely, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, individualism versus collectivism, and masculinity versus femininity ? affect audit fees.



Target population



We used a sample of 27,670 firm-year observations across 22 countries over the 2002-2019 period.



Adopted methodology



We used ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions as baseline technique and entropy-balanced method (EBM) and system-generalized method of moments (GMM) to address endogeneity concerns.



Analyses



We examined the impact of Hofstede's four national culture dimensions ? uncertainty avoidance, power distance, individualism versus collectivism, and masculinity versus femininity ? on audit fees. We also tested the robustness of results using alternative measures of national culture, subsample analyses, and additional firm-level factors.



Findings



Consistent with our hypotheses, we find that audit fees are higher (lower) in countries with higher uncertainty avoidance, individualism, and masculinity (power distance) scores. Our further analyses reveal that earnings management proxied by abnormal accruals does not impact the relationship; however, country-level creditor rights influence audit fees in high power distance and masculine cultures. We also note that national culture influences auditor choice and audit opinion. Our main findings are robust to alternate proxies and subsample analysis, as well as to address potential endogeneity concerns. Overall, our findings offer important implications for firms operating in global markets and for the audit profession.},

various organizations in Pakistan, our findings reveal that observed ostracism elicits feelings of compassion in

employees with a low dispositional envy, who then exhibit greater victim-directed helping behaviors. By

contrast, employees with a high dispositional envy experience schadenfreude when observing ostracism,

prompting them to engage in further victim-directed ostracism themselves. Our findings provide important insights

into the catalytic role of dispositional envy in determining emotions that explains why the observation of a

coworker's social exclusion prompts a differential behavioral response.},

abstract = {Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of chief executive officer (CEO) overconfidence on

earnings quality and the moderating role of ownership structure as a crucial corporate governance device.

Design/methodology/approach - The paper uses the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation

method to test our models on a sample of 335 French companies between 2009 and 2020, i.e. 4,020 observations.

Findings - The results show that CEO overconfidence negatively affects earnings quality. This result

supports the predictions of behavioral finance theory and suggests that CEO overconfidence is a behavioral

bias that affects the quality of earnings. The authors also examined the effect of different types of ownership

structures on this relationship. The results show the significant role of controlling shareholders, owner-

managers, families and institutional investors in mitigating the negative effect of CEO overconfidence on

earnings quality.

Research limitations/implications - This paper has some limitations. First, other types of ownership

structures could have been analyzed such as state ownership. Second, we ignored the role of the board of

directors as an important governance mechanism in controlling overconfident CEOs' actions.

Practical implications - Companies should be aware of the potential risks associated with CEO

overconfidence, which can compromise the faithful representation of earnings. This highlights the importance

of effective monitoring and internal controls to detect and prevent such practices, which involve the role of

ownership structure.

Originality/value - This paper addresses the effect of CEO overconfidence on earnings quality and provides

new evidence on the role of different ownership structure types in shaping this relationship. Additionally, this

paper sheds new light on how overconfident CEOs may behave in challenging times.},

This study investigates how compulsory citizenship behaviors (CCB) affect employees' energy and motivation to engage in other voluntary behaviors, such as service-oriented citizenship behavior and creativity. Specifically, we explore how employees' perceptions of job overload mediate this relationship, based on their generational differences.



Design/methodology/approach

This study employed a time-lagged survey design to collect data from 265 frontline employees and their supervisors in Pakistani-based organizations. The data was collected in three rounds, with a three-week gap between each round.



Findings

The findings suggest that role overload, resulting from compulsory citizenship pressure, undermines millennial employees' service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and creativity. However, these negative effects are less salient among non-millennials.



Practical implications

The findings of this study provide valuable insights for managers, emphasizing the importance of exercising caution when imposing excessive citizenship pressures on employees against their will. In addition, organizations and human resource (HR) managers should consider devising policies for formal recognition of voluntary behaviors that contribute to organizational effectiveness.



Originality/value

This study contributes to existing CCB research by unraveling the previously unexplored mediating role of role overload and the contingency role of generational difference in explaining how and when coerced citizenship demands hinder employees' propensity to engage in service-oriented OCB and creativity.},

Based on a sample of 82,487 firm-year observations across 38 countries, we find that tax avoidance is positively associated with inefficient investments. Particularly, the positive effect of corporate tax avoidance is due to the underinvestment problem suggesting that firms engaging in tax saving activities suffer from exacerbated information asymmetry issues leading them to underinvest. More importantly, the results show that the relationship between tax avoidance and investment inefficiency is more prevalent during crisis periods, suggesting that in periods of economic shortfalls, the investment behavior is altered due to high external financing cost. We also find that the relation between tax avoidance activities and investment inefficiency is less prevalent in countries with strong investor protection. These findings are robust to alternative samples, measures of tax avoidance, investor protection and to endogeneity issues.},

Design/methodology/approach - This is a conceptual paper that aims to advance understanding of the

role of SOEs in addressing the global climate challenge. The authors build on the institutional theory to

capture the importance of home-country climate regulation mechanisms and advance knowledge on the

internationalization of SOEs. The authors review the literature on the institutional boundaries that shape the

environmental activities of firms at home and abroad and develop the argument on the influence of home

country institutions and internationalization on the role of SOEs in the global climate agenda.

Findings - In this study, the authors elaborate the SOEs' climate action matrix and offer three propositions based

on the fact that SOEs' environmental strategies are driven by the interests of the state as owner and the scope of

SOEs' internationalization. First, the authors propose that the level of home country's climate policy ambition explains

SOEs' stance on climate action. Second, scope of internationalization explains SOEs' stance on climate action. Third,

the progressive/increasing involvement of SOEs in climate action enhances the country's climate stance.

Originality/value - The authors incorporate the climate argument into international business (IB) studies

of SOEs' internationalization, a novel approach that helps us to advance the knowledge on the complex issue

of corporate climate action. The authors argue for a dynamic and reciprocal relationship between home/host

countries and SOEs' climate engagement. In doing this, the authors contribute to the IB research and policy

While various models and architectures have been developed for smart grids, the utilization of holonic architectures remains limited in existing literature. In this paper, we propose a holonic architecture specifically tailored for smart grids, which proves to be highly advantageous. Holonic architectures are particularly valuable in smart grids as they enable seamless operation among different actors, even during technical challenges. Our proposed model consists of interconnected agents forming holons, with five agents working in tandem to ensure flexibility across multiple aspects. We have tested this model in three different scenarios. The first scenario represents a healthy grid. The second scenario simulates a grid with production mismanagement. Lastly, the third one simulates a grid experiencing a region-specific blackout. Results show how the grid distributes the available energy depending on the available production, storage (if any) and the assurance of the distribution across the various requesting holons.},

Purpose



This study aims to empirically examine environment, social, and governance (ESG) as an effective strategy to reduce major impediments for a corporation in the form of costs of capital (COC) and systematic risk, especially for emerging markets such as India.

Design/methodology/approach



A sample of 114 Indian firms from eight prominent industries based on Thomson Reuters classification (TRBC) are used in the study. A panel regression with industry-fixed effects is carried out to account for industry heterogeneity. For robustness, the authors also carry out a matched sample analysis.

Findings



The authors observe a negative and significant relationship between ESG performance with COC and systematic risk, respectively. For the pillar-wise analysis, the authors observe that only governance performance is negatively and significantly related to COC whereas the environmental and social performances are negative and insignificant. For ESG pillar level analysis for beta, the authors observe that all pillars are negative and significant, thus making a case for how firms can fine-tune their ESG strategies according to each pillar.

Research limitations/implications



As the ESG concept is still in a very nascent stage, data availability is a definite challenge in India.

Practical implications



As ESG is increasingly becoming relevant for multiple stakeholders, this study aims to provide evidence that can potentially guide the regulators, practitioners, and academicians to address the contemporary needs of these stakeholders, while also doing good for the firm in the traditional sense.

Social implications



The transition to a sustainable economy is a challenge for emerging economies, especially for a country like India where stakeholders are not only varied but also huge in number. With this study's contribution towards an incremental understanding of ESG, Indian regulators and policymakers can bring forward mandates as to ESG compliances that are rewarding for the firms and give them enough impetus towards complying with ESG norms.

Originality/value



The extant literature on ESG majorly discusses the relationship between ESG performance and financial performance. This study addresses the lacuna of the relationship of ESG with COC and beta in the Indian context.},

However, there still is a dilemma on whether innovation failure should be considered as an opportunity or a trauma for the firm. Exploring the three steps of an innovation failure, that is identifying, analyzing and experimenting, the present research offers new insights on the nature of innovation failure at an individual and team levels. In particular, via an inductive approach this study provides fours key approaches to understanding innovation failure. First, we have uncovered a wide range of approaches to organizational management and ?Spaghetti' organizational models of innovation that perceive failure as an opportunity for the innovation process. Secondly, our study identified what seems to be a widespread perception of innovation failure as a trauma, which encourages the culture of openness to failure and to share knowledge of failing innovations. Such views apply not only at organizational but also at individual and team levels. Third, our results serve to encourage individuals, teams and organizations to find new ways to learn from failures in innovation projects, and to have a less centralized management and control over innovation. Fourth, in our perception of the domain, failure could become the ?new normal' and a mean to generate new knowledge. This stimulates new directions in the decision-making process, towards novel pathways to innovation.},

abstract = {Drawing from social exchange theory, this study investigates how and when supervisor evasive knowledge hiding might lead to lower job performance by employees. The hypotheses were tested with three-round survey data, collected among employees and peers in various industries. Employees' perceptions that their supervisor engages in deceptive knowledge hiding undermine their own performance-enhancing efforts because they develop career plateau beliefs; this explanatory role is particularly salient among employees exposed to despotic leadership. This study pinpoints a notable risk for employees who feel upset when they believe a despotic supervisor is intentionally concealing knowledge: They grow disappointed with their career situation, which prompts them to adopt complacent behavioral responses that likely render it even more challenging to access valuable supervisor knowledge.},

abstract = {Purpose: This study provides new insights into the relationship between institutional investors' heterogeneity and corporate tax avoidance. It also investigates whether family ownership moderates this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach: Based on a sample of 200 French listed firms from 2008 to 2017, we use the generalized method of moment (GMM) estimator proposed by Arellano and Bover (1995) and developed by Blundell and Bond (1998) to address endogeneity and omitted variable concerns.

Findings: The results show that passive institutional investors are associated with an increase in the level of tax avoidance. However, active ones significantly decrease the levels of tax avoidance practices. Moreover, we show that institutional activism is not sufficient to control managerial actions, particularly in the context of controlled family businesses. The results suggest that families may expropriate the rights of minority shareholders through a controlling coalition with passive institutional investors.

Originality: This paper extends previous research by investigating the heterogeneity of institutional investors' behavior in terms of horizon, ownership, and control. In addition, this paper sheds a new light on how family firms behave regarding tax avoidance practices in presence of active and passive institutional investors.

Research limitations/implications: This study has several practical implications. First, the results are useful for policymakers who should pay more attention to conflicts of interests and constrain passive institutional investors to provide only one service (asset management). Second, this study may sensitize family owners to the need to collaborate with active institutional investors that are effective in the monitoring of the firm. In particular, families should be willing to sacrifice some of their socioemotional wealth to promote balanced ownership structures that exclude investors with business relationships with the company.},

It contends that honesty in presenting CSR activities is a proxy for corporate virtuosity and that syntheticity of language indexes unselfconscious honesty in corporate reporting. The study's research question is: Is there evidence that being more corporately ethical in the absence of concern about being so perceived enhances hardcore measures of organisational performance? To answer this question, a linguistic analysis of sustainability reports of firms operating in the Mining, Crude Oil Production Industry is undertaken to reveal that firms' financial performance varies as a function of a particular kind of straightforward language use in corporate reporting. This exercise provides evidence that unselfconscious corporate virtuosity is associated with better corporate financial performance. Implications for practice of this finding are explored.},

abstract = {Situations marked with ambiguity can induce an aversion due to heightened fear of the unknown augmented by individual differences in ambiguity tolerance levels (Einhorn & Hogarth, 1985). Under such situations, an individual's ambiguity tolerance levels can be influenced based on the need to compare with others for ability-related or opinion-related social comparisons. Moreover, specific personality dispositions and emotions like the tendency to maximize and proneness to feel regret are prone to be sensitive towards social comparison effects. Hence, by employing two survey studies across different cultural backgrounds of the Indian context (N = 259) and US context (N = 284), this study aims to examine the under-researched relation between an individual's social comparison orientation (SCO) and tolerance for ambiguity (ToA), along with the emotional disposition traits of maximization and proneness to regret. The results show that the relationship is significant across both survey studies. However, only for ability-related social comparisons. While maximization tendency came as a significant predictor in the Indian context, in the US context, proneness to feel regret came as a significant predictor between the relation of SCO and ToA. The results show that comparing with others influences the tolerance for ambiguity. However, different personality traits reflective of collectivist vs individualistic cultural backgrounds also are a significant predictor of this relation.},

This association is stronger for firms with talented managers and less pronounced for firms in climate sensitive industries and headquartered in US States with more stringent environmental regulations.

exhaustion between employees' exposure to knowledge hiding and their job performance.

Moreover, we examine the buffering role of emotional intelligence, investigating whether

employees with higher emotional intelligence can mitigate the harmful effects of resourcedepleting

episodes of knowledge hiding. The study employed paper-and-pencil surveys to

collect multi-source, time-lagged data from 319 employees and their respective supervisors in

various service sector organisations. The findings indicate that persistent exposure to knowledge

hiding diminishes employees' job performance through emotional exhaustion. However, this

negative relationship is less salient for employees with higher levels of emotional intelligence.

This study informs important insights for organisations on why and when employees' experiences of knowledge hiding curtail their performance-enhancing efforts.},

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effects of mindfulness on the relationships between work stressors (perceived organisational politics [POP] and effort-reward imbalance [ERI]) and work outcomes (job burnout [JBO] and job satisfaction [JS]).



Design/methodology/approach

Time-lagged data were collected from public sector employees in France and Pakistan. The final samples (France, N = 204; Pakistan, N = 217) were tested using multiple moderating regression.



Findings

Mindfulness moderates the relationship between work stressors and work outcomes. Mindfulness serves as a personal resource for employees: it mitigates the negative influence that POP and ERI have on JBO and JS.



Originality/value

This study extends current knowledge on the relationships between work stressors and work outcomes across cultures by testing mindfulness as a valuable personal resource.},

In this article, we first investigate the mediating role of workplace boredom in explaining the effect of perceived CSR toward employees on cyberloafing behaviors. We further examine the moderating role of moral disengagement in this process. Overall, the results of our cross-sectional, experimental, and three-wave studies provide strong evidence for our hypothesized relationships. Our research suggests that moral disengagement weakens the effect of internal CSR on workplace boredom, such that for employees high in moral disengagement, the level of internal CSR has a weaker effect on workplace boredom.},
