abstract = {The ongoing dynamic market evolution has reshaped the way companies can create value, thanks to new funding models and new market opportunities, especially in the early business stages. In particular, with the growing development of crowdfunding models, scholars and practitioners are questioning how backers can cocreate value by funding new entrepreneurial initiatives through digital platforms dedicated to this new form of financial support. Therefore, positioning this article in the knowledge and engineering management literature, the current research explores whether two subdimensions of value cocreation (VCC), knowledge sharing and interaction, may help to understand backers' intention to participate in a reward-based crowdfunding (RBCF) campaign. In particular, using the partial least square structural equation modeling approach on an original sample of 3574 backers, in this article, we find that knowledge sharing, understood as backers' expertise as well as the preparedness of the proponent team, and the interaction between the campaign actors contribute to explaining backers' participation in an RBCF initiative. The research supports the relevance of backers' engagement in terms of VCC as an experiential benefit for the success of an RBCF initiative. From this perspective, our study suggests that both entrepreneurs and platforms should consider VCC in the design and setting of RBCF campaigns.},

Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. This study distinguishes somametamnemata from known practices of self-care, advancing existing literature on technologies of self by overcoming the dichotomy between negative views of ill-being and positive views of wellbeing. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of ?corporate wellness? beyond organizational boundaries.},

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.},

Purpose - This study aims to detail how employees' experience of distributive injustice may compromise their

job performance, with specific attention to how this detrimental process may be explained in part by their

beliefs about organization-level underperformance and moderated by their own psychological entitlement.

Design/methodology/approach - The research hypotheses were tested with three-round, time-lagged data

collected among employees and their supervisors.

Findings - A critical channel through which employees' perceptions that their organization's reward system

is unfair translates into thwarted job performance is a conviction that their organization does not meet its own

performance targets. As a mediator, such organizational underperformance beliefs have particularly salient

effects on employees who believe they are more deserving than others.

Practical implications - This study gives HR managers insights into how they can reduce the danger that

unfair reward practices escalate into a reduced propensity by employees to complete their job tasks diligently.

HR managers should make employees aware of their possible entitlement and discourage them from expecting

that things always must go their way.

Originality/value - This research unpacks the connection between distributive injustice and job

performance, by delineating the unique roles of two pertinent factors (organizational underperformance

beliefs and psychological entitlement) in this connection.

This mediating role of social adaptive behavior, or its lack, is less salient when employees have a greater ability to control their own emotions though. For organizations, this study accordingly pinpoints a key mechanism?a reluctance to accommodate other members' preferences?by which perceived organizational politics can escalate into a desire to leave the organization.

This study investigates the connection between employees' experience of time-related work stress and their

job performance, with a particular focus on the mediating role of their propensity to engage in negative

gossip and the moderating role of their collectivistic orientation. The results based on multisource, threewave data from employees, their peers, and supervisors in Pakistani organizations show that an important

reason that time-related work stress might diminish job performance is that employees expend significant

energy discussing their negative evaluations of other organizational members with peers, possibly as a way

to protect their self-esteem resources. This mediating role of gossip is also invigorated by employees' collectivistic orientation. For organizations, this study identifies a key mechanism - informal conversations

with peers about the flaws of others in the organization - by which time-related stress prevents employees

from allocating sufficient energy to completing their job tasks, and it reveals that this process is more likely

among collectivistic employees.},

However, existing studies mainly examine the policy mix from either a horizontal or a vertical coordination perspective; very few examine both dimensions. To gain further insights, the current study involves an analysis of how China's central government manages horizontal and vertical coordination to pursue upgrading in manufacturing industries on the basis of an ambidextrous policy mix perspective and a thorough examination of both the external attributes (i.e., policy level) and content (i.e., policy instruments and themes) of policy documents. This analysis reveals several viable policy implications in relation to China's manufacturing transformation. In particular, it finds that China's policy mix for achieving manufacturing upgrading is highly coordinated on both horizontal and vertical dimensions. Governments at all levels apply the same set of policy instruments; environmental instruments are the most frequently used, followed by supply- and demand-side instruments. The core policy topics within the manufacturing upgrading structure include innovation, industrial transformation, industrial agglomeration, demonstration projects and service-oriented manufacturing. Therefore, this study establishes recommendations for future policies, which should focus on reinforcing guidance regarding national policies, encouraging local governments to apply innovative policy tools and increasing the use of demand-side policy instruments.},

abstract = {Purpose



A paucity of studies has used a microfoundation lens to examine servitization processes in internationalized knowledge-intensive business service (KIBS) companies. The research aims to bridge this gap by considering knowledge sharing as a form of both codified knowledge and informal feedback knowledge; it also assesses whether the adoption of knowledge transfer and translation practices in a servitization process positively moderates the effect of knowledge transformation on knowledge sharing for internationalized KIBS companies.

Design/methodology/approach



By adopting a microfoundation lens, the research offers an empirical analysis to identify the relations between codified and tacit knowledge in servitization processes within internationalized KIBS companies. The study is based on 326 respondents from 30 KIBS companies. A multiple regression analysis was used for hypotheses testing.

Findings



The authors found significant relations among the use of electronic documents in the servitization process (formal codified knowledge), personal advice in servitization (informal feedback knowledge) and knowledge sharing in internationalized KIBS companies. Findings also support the indirect effect assumed in the hypothesis between knowledge transformation and knowledge sharing in internationalized KIBS companies, which is positively moderated by the adoption of cross-cultural knowledge practices in the servitization process.

Originality/value



To the best of the authors' knowledge, this research provides the first conceptual model of the use of a microfoundation lens to examine knowledge sharing in internationalized KIBS companies. The micro level features individual knowledge sharing in the servitization process, while the meso level focuses on knowledge transformation in KIBS companies and the adoption of knowledge transfer and translation practices in the servitization process.},

abstract = {How is the tension between conflict and deliberation resolved in shareholder engagement? We address this question by studying shareholder engagement as a deliberative process with three stages: establishing dialogue, solution development, and solution implementation. We theorize that two interactionist mechanisms, deliberative interaction and the voicing of disagreement, play different roles at different stages of the process. We test our hypotheses with a proprietary database of 169 environmental, social, and governance engagements with US public companies over 2007-12. We find that while deliberative interaction does not help advance the engagement process, it positively moderates the effect of disagreement in the solution development stage. By contrast, in the solution implementation stage, deliberative interaction amplifies the negative effect of disagreement, thus hindering progress in the engagement. Our article contributes to shareholder engagement, deliberation theory, and interactionist organization theory by establishing that engagement effectiveness is an interactional achievement shaped by both deliberation and disagreement.},

Results based on multisource data, collected among employees and their supervisors in Pakistani organizations, show that an important factor that underpins the connection between beliefs about broken organizational promises and a diminished propensity to finish work on time is that employees depersonalize organizational leaders. This mediating effect is mitigated by employees' religious faith. For organizations, this study thus identifies a key mechanism - exhibiting indifference to the people in charge - by which employees' frustrations about resource-depleting contract breaches may inadvertently escalate into ineffective time management, and it identifies some workers among whom this counterproductive dynamic is less likely, namely, employees who can draw from their religious faith.},

The hypotheses tests rely on multisource, three-wave data collected from employees and their supervisors in Pakistani organizations. The findings, generated with the Process macro, affirm that (1) an important reason that instigated incivility translates into enhanced in-role and extra-role job performance is the instigators' desire to express guilty feelings and (2) this mediating role is especially prominent among employees who hold strong religious beliefs. For management scholars, this study's focus on incivility perpetrators provides an important complement to traditional considerations of incivility victims. For practitioners, it reveals how employees' own uncivil behaviors, somewhat counterintuitively, lead to enhanced performance outcomes and how religious faith serves as a catalyst of this process.},

abstract = {The use of social media offers tremendous innovation potential. Yet, while cur-rent research emphasizes success stories, little is known about how firms canleverage the full potential of their social media use for open innovation. In thispaper, the authors address this gap by conducting a configurational analysis todevelop an integrative taxonomy of social media-enabled strategies for openinnovation. This analysis stems from the integration of internal and externalvariables such as social media communication activities, organizational inno-vation seekers, potential innovation providers, the stages of the open innova-tion process, and their relationship with different performance outcomes andbarriers to social media adoption for open innovation. Through an empiricalstudy of 337 firms based in eight countries, four clusters have been identifiedthat are characterized as distinct strategies:?marketing semi-open innovators,??cross-department  semi-open  innovators,??cross-department  full  processsemi-open innovators?and?broad adopters open innovators.?The findingsreveal the trade-offs associated with different strategies for implementingsocial media for open innovation and provide insights of the use of these strat-egies. By doing so, they suggest a more nuanced approach that contrasts withthe traditionally positive (or even rosy) depiction of the effects of social mediaon open innovation. Accordingly, managers are encouraged to contemplatetheir organizational competencies, capabilities, and their strategic intent whendrafting social media strategies for open innovation. Selective approaches,along with greater adoption leading to greater benefits, are shown to be morerewarding than a middle way that spreads things too thin. Avenues for furtherresearch include qualitative explorations of the trajectories unfolding throughimplementing social media strategies for innovation activities and the use ofobjective performance measures rather than subjective perceptions from informants to understand the complex relationships between social mediaadoption and performance.},

Conse- quently, the pandemic increased institutional costs due to greater uncertainty in Russian regulatory institutions. To manage this, the firm developed new firm-specific advantages to deal with the increasing uncertainty of regulative institutions. The firm united with other firms to motivate public officials to advocate for semi-official debates. Our study contributes to extending intersecting studies on the liability of foreignness and firm-specific advantages through the lens of institutional entrepreneurship.

By conducting empirical research on 14 European countries, the study addresses how an EE can support entrepreneurs in creating sustainable innovations. Overall, the study contributes to exploring the relations between the EE and the relevant classes of ESIs, providing entrepreneurs and policymakers a framework by using a holistic examination of the EE and contributing to more effective policy solutions to encourage sustainable and resilient entrepreneurship-led economic growth. As shown by a quantitative analysis, ESIs are positively correlated with policy, finance and support in terms of infrastructural and administrative support, whereas culture and human capital do not significantly influence ESIs. The results also highlight that the EE's key factors have different impacts on ESIs over time because the effect of EEs can be considered a complex system because of its heterogeneous and dynamic nature. In addition, the country-level capability of ESIs are measured, showing that Ukraine, Romania, Poland and the Czech Republic demonstrate a low-level capability of ESIs, while Germany, the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, France and Belgium show a high-level capability. By contributing to the entrepreneurial literature, the research invokes sustainable mechanisms of innovation to boost national economic performance in European countries.},

In other words, it examines the combined effect of gender-based differentiation and group dynamics on the process of incubating women entrepreneurs. Indeed, according to the literature on female entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurs are faced with specific challenges that influence their entrepreneurial intention such as a lack of self-confidence, caused by gender stereotypes, and conflict between family life and entrepreneurial career. More precisely, our research aims to determine how psychological entrepreneurial support is implemented in the incubation process to overcome these specific challenges, and the mechanisms for strengthening female entrepreneurial intention analyzed at both intrapersonal and interpersonal levels. Thanks to a qualitative methodology, our findings suggest that psychological entrepreneurial support delivered via same-gender group mentoring, at the beginning of the incubation process, reinforces female entrepreneurial intention, thanks to a mechanism of external approval and a process of deconstruction of gender stereotypes about female entrepreneurship. Role modeling provided by same-gender group mentoring facilitates the identity work of women entrepreneurs in search of entrepreneurial legitimacy and enables them to overcome various psychological barriers related to a lack of self-confidence or pressure stemming from the family environment. We discuss the implications of our findings on related research into business incubators and the design of mentoring programs adapted to the needs of women entrepreneurs.},

abstract = {Abstract

Purpose

In the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers increasingly opt for, or are forced to, use home delivery services. The authors study retailers' decisions regarding ?delivery mode?, which is about outsourcing (vs. insourcing) the delivery service to a traditional delivery company or an unbranded carrier and its effects on consumers' perceived overall quality, perceived hygienic quality, and subsequently, willingness to stay with the firm beyond the pandemic.



Design/methodology/approach

A pre-test, an experiment and a post-test were conducted with participants from the UK (Total N = 380).



Findings

The results of this study show that (1) in a pandemic, perceived hygienic quality overshadows perceived service quality as a key determinant of consumers' choices, and (2) while consumers have a relatively negative view of the hygienic level of unbranded carriers, they do not differentiate between traditional delivery carriers and retailer-branded carriers. Thus, they are equally interested in using the services of the latter ones.



Originality/value

This study shows that during a health crisis, consumers change their hierarchy of motivations to reflect the new protection motivations. The authors usher perceived hygienic quality as a variable that should be seriously considered as both a tactical and a strategic variable affecting the attractiveness of alternative home delivery methods and consumers' intentions to continue using them after the pandemic.},

abstract = {Abstract

Purpose

Over the past two decades, a large body of research has examined the effect of the awareness of the inevitability of death on consumption behaviours. However, the literature has shed little light on the effect of mortality salience (MS) on elderly individuals. The present research specifically aims to challenge the effect of MS on status consumption among elderly individuals.



Design/methodology/approach

Two experiments were conducted among individuals over 50. The experiments manipulated MS to test its effect on status consumption.



Findings

The results demonstrate that MS positively influences the preference for status products among elderly individuals (experiment 1) and that this effect is less pronounced as elderly individuals age (experiment 2). Subjective age bias, defined as the potential gap between chronological age and subjective age, negatively moderates this effect (experiment 2).



Practical implications

Luxury marketers need to pay attention to generational cohorts rather than other demographic variables in the segmentation of their market. Moreover, subjective age may be a better segmentation variable for marketers than objective variables such as chronological age.



Originality/value

This research provides insights that support a better understanding of status consumption among elderly individuals and the role of subjective ageing in this process.},

Purpose

This study investigates how and when employees' exposure to organizational leaders who propose major changes might direct those employees toward efforts to mobilize support for innovative ideas. It specifically theorizes a mediating role of performance pressure beliefs and a moderating role of perceived organizational underperformance in this process.



Design/methodology/approach

Three-wave, multi-rater survey data were collected among employees and their supervisors across various industries.



Findings

A critical explanatory mechanism that links change-oriented leadership with enhanced championing efforts is that employees experience performance-related hardships. The extent to which employees perceive that their organization is unable to meet its own performance targets triggers this process.



Practical implications

For organizational decision makers, the findings identify results-driven pressures as key mechanisms by which employees' exposures to change-oriented leadership can be leveraged to promote novel ideas. This translation is more likely among employees who are convinced that there is significant room for organizational improvement.



Originality/value

This study unravels the previously unexplored link between change-oriented leadership and idea championing, pinpointing the influences of two performance-related aspects: beliefs about strenuous organization-induced performance expectations and perceptions of an underperforming employer.},

abstract = {Abstract

Purpose

The COVID-19 outbreak has undoubtedly affected overall mental health. Thus, researching resilience is important, as it has been previously discussed as a means to protect people from mental health problems. This study aims to clarify whether survivors of a traumatic event (i.e. cancer survivors) are more resilient to living through another traumatic experience, such as COVID-19, compared to those who have never had such an experience. The study also examines the role of emotional creativity in this process.



Design/methodology/approach

A quantitative research design was adopted. The data collection was performed through a survey (N = 338), which was conducted among two separate groups of participants. The first group (N = 152) included the survivors of a traumatic event (i.e. cancer survivors), and the second group (N = 186) included those who did not have such an experience.



Findings

The results demonstrate that living through a traumatic experience results in a higher level of resilience during another traumatic experience (i.e. COVID-19), which is the result of higher post-traumatic growth. Moreover, emotional creativity is discussed as an explanatory variable that explains a significantly higher level of post-traumatic growth among survivors of a traumatic event.



Originality/value

This research offers a better understanding of the effect of living through a traumatic event on post-traumatic growth and resilience in living through another traumatic experience. Moreover, post-traumatic growth is explained through emotional creativity improvement, which happens after experiencing a traumatic life event.},
