abstract = {This study explores the indirect relation between corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance and the cost of debt through two channels: information asymmetry and risk profile. We also examine how mandatory CSR disclosures influence the relation between CSR performance and the cost of debt. Based on a sample of French non-financial listed companies over the period 2005-2016 and a path model, we show that there is a negative effect of CSR performance on the cost of debt via the risk channel, while the effect of CSR via the information asymmetry channel is not robust supporting the risk management argument. These results suggest that CSR performance provides insurance-like protection that mitigates firm risk. Furthermore, using the difference-in-difference approach, the results show that firms with high CSR performance experience a significant decrease in the cost of debt subsequently to the Grenelle II act on CSR mandatory disclosures. The findings provide valuable implications for market participants. Managers may overinvest in CSR activities to reduce firm risk and benefit from a decreasing cost of debt while investors may want to invest in socially responsible firms to reduce their risk exposure. Our results are robust to alternative measures of risk, model specifications and endogeneity concerns.},

abstract = {In recent years, the concepts of human resource management (HRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have gained significant focus across industries. The role and implications of CSR are vital for organizational success; similarly, HRM plays a vital role in understanding, developing, and implementing CSR strategies. Therefore, we claimed that the nexus of HRM and CSR is worthwhile to study and relevant in the current pandemic situation. Despite recent calls about the role of human resource management (HRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in achieving sustainable performance, a few studies have investigated their role combinedly in the hospitality industry, especially in a cross-cultural context. Therefore, the present study addresses the current lack of comparative research about the impact of HRM and CSR on sustainable performance in the hospitality industry of Pakistan, the UK, and Italy and shows the mediating role of HRM in such a relationship. A quantitative methodology is applied to the survey of the employees from 354 Pakistani, 438 British, and 520 Italian hotels working in three-, four-, and five-star hotels. The results showed a positive correlation between CSR, HRM, and sustainable performance. Moreover, the results also indicated significant differences among the three countries analyzed concerning the mediating role of HRM in this relationship.},

We proxy economic reality with tail risk of banks and employ a novel extreme value theory to measure this. We use Asset4 ESG data for environmental performance score and test our hypothesis with a sample of 256 US banks. The results indicate that the US banks are ecologically ambitious and their environmental strategies are likely to reduce their tail risk. This provides evidence that better environmental strategies do coincide with the economic realities. We test the consistency of our results by using alternate proxies for tail risk and find our results robust. Our results are also not driven by endogeneity concerns. Finally, our additional results show that the nature of relationship differs with corporate governance levels, CSR committee existence, institutional ownership presence and crisis period.},

Those models require expertise in metering and algorithms and the equipment needs to be frequently maintained. In the context of the MAESHA H2020 project, most of the consumers and producers are isolated. Forecasting becomes more difficult due to the lack of external data and the significant impact of human behaviors on those small systems. The proposed approach is based on data sequencing, sequential mining, and pattern mining to infer the results into a Hidden Markov Model. It only needs the consumption and production curve as a time series and adapts itself to provide the forecast. Our method gives a better forecast than other prediction machines and deep-learning methods used in literature review.},

This paper aims to determine the influence of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) excellence enablers on the financial, market and non-financial performance of the textile companies in Pakistan. Moreover, the mediating role of organizational learning culture is also tested in EFQM enablers and performance relationships.



Design/methodology/approach

Using a multi-respondent strategy, the data was collected from 254 textile firms registered with All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) using a highly structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling via AMOS v.22.



Findings

The results reveal that EFQM excellence enablers significantly influence financial, non-financial and market performance. Furthermore, organizational learning culture (OLC) significantly positively mediates the relationship between EFQM excellence enablers and business performance.



Research limitations/implications

This study enhances the literature of EFQM enablers and microfoundations of institutional theory in the textile industry of developing countries and proposes a way forward to the effective utilization of such enablers for higher performance.



Originality/value

This research is the first of its kind that empirically tests the microfoundations of institutional theory concerning EFQM, OLC and performance in the textile industry of Pakistan.},

This result suggests that for expropriation purposes, powerful managers andcontrolling shareholders conceal bad news for extended periods. Up to a threshold, bad news is released to investorsall at once, leading to a drop in the stock prices. We also find that analysts' coverage mitigates the effect of powerfulmanagers on SPCR in widely held firms. However, the relationship between the power of controlling shareholders andSPCR is less prevalent in companies with independent boards. These findings highlight the importance of efficientgovernance devices to curb opportunistic decision-makers and protect the interests of external shareholders. However,the effectiveness of these mechanisms depends on the identity of the decision-maker and the nature of agencyproblems.},

In a previous article related to ethical reflection around the study of human remains and their biological products in archaeological, ethnographic and museum contexts, a general scientific isolation - going against the common interest and leading to certain forms of misconduct - had been raised. It appeared a real need to act in the direction of transparency and a transdisciplinary union.

Methodology



This conclusion led to further reflection on the strengths and technical creation of a tool dedicated to the exchange between sciences relating to the study of man.

Results/Discussion



We propose the creation of a platform dedicated to all international scientific actors whose issues are related to research on humans. This involves proposing the development of a participatory/collaborative virtual platform on which scientific organizations would exchange their study materials, their samples, their tools, their knowledge, their reflections and hypotheses and then the resulting data in order to no longer work in isolation.

Conclusion/Perspectives



This multidisciplinary vision to the study of Man, without spatial or chronological boundaries, will be a contribution to each of the disciplines involved and the benefits of this platform are multiple. However, this coalition approach exposes academic, technical and legal difficulties and represents a real challenge because it requires profound changes.},

First, to the extent that leadership is a relationship resting on voluntary obedience, it is through a process of authorisation that leaders obtain their power. Second, the way language functions are instantiated in communication determines whether social interactions are authoritative or authoritarian. The view advanced is that noble language characterises the former, base language the latter. Third and consequently, the power of leaders develops from their use of noble language. Contrasting examples illuminate this article's thesis. An agenda for leadership research and education is then outlined.},

These assistive technologies are surging particularly to address personal healthcare shortages while allowing aging people to stay in their homes. Social robots belong to a rapidly changing AI industry. Such innovation may adopt different diffusion and adoption processes due to the categorical ambiguity of these products; their features vary from those typical of an object (i.e., delivering food) to those typical of a human being (i.e., speaking with and answering to patients). Social robots combine product, service, and software elements, making them hybrid products categorized into alternative categories, fluctuating users' attitudes towards these products. The paper draws on prior research on social robots, categorization, and innovation adoption and diffusion. The aim is to explore healthcare professionals' perception of social robots' adoption and diffusion, allowing us to understand how they view and handle their categorical ambiguity feature. Using the Delphi technique targeting experts with extensive knowledge of social robots and e-health practice, the results emphasize that even if the ambiguous nature of social robots may represent a barrier to their adoption, their categorical ambiguity is an opportunity to create interactive experiences that ultimately increase their acceptance and diffusion.},

abstract = {Workplace technology interruption and distraction are complex to analyze. In completing their daily tasks, employees receive a plethora of emails, text messages on their smartphones, and app notifications from both professional and personal counterparts. These parallel communications pose new managerial opportunities and workplace challenges.

While such microbreaks foster communicative potential and information access, past research has discussed the issue of technology overload. The present article contributes to parallel communications regarding digital transformation in the workplace.

Based on an original dataset of 369 employees, we examine the issue of technology distraction and interruption in the workplace. The results show that parallel communications positively influence job performance and negatively affect self-regulation and work engagement. The findings enrich the literature on digital transformation. They have practical implications for managers and firms implementing specific arrangements to nurture and embrace successful digital ecosystems.},

We first identify the key features of nomad entrepreneurs and their relationship with their environment to conceptualize nomadic dynamic capabilities. We then analyze the specific role of knowledge transfer in managing nomadic dynamic capabilities and put forward a stylized model of the microfoundations of nomadic dynamic capabilities. We contribute to the international entrepreneurship and global dynamic capabilities literature by investigating the role of nomad entrepreneurs as connectors both across and beyond borders for globalized industries. We also contribute to the microfoundations of the dynamic capabilities stream of literature by emphasizing the sources of nomadic dynamic capabilities and their role in a micro-level driven research agenda in terms of the concrete actions of nomad entrepreneurs to elucidate higher-level phenomena.},

abstract = {We aim to advance our understanding of the adverse effects of extreme temperatures by examining the extent to which high temperatures affect stock market activity. We address this question by analyzing the trading volumes on the French stock market on days when the weather in Paris is excessively hot over the period 1995-2019. Our empirical analyses show that, on average, trading volumes fall significantly (between 4% and 10%) when maximum daily temperatures exceed 30 °C (86 °F). The observed negative association is remarkably robust to a battery of alternative analyses such as bin tests, event studies, and time-series regressions controlling for any seasonal effects and financial market conditions. From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the literature on behavioral finance by demonstrating the existence of a ?hot weather? effect on financial markets. It also offers important managerial and public policy implications.},

Based on a sample of 5222 U.S. firm-year observations, we find that such CEOs positively influence environmental performance and that this effect is more prevalent in profitable firms. This result suggests that powerful CEOs are influential in creating sufficient resources to enhance their firms' environmental performance. They are also typically well established and enjoy the quiet life that predisposes them to prioritize environmental projects. Our results also show that, although firms in polluted industries have lower environmental performance, they are able to mitigate this negative effect when they have powerful CEOs or are more profitable. Our results are robust to a variety of econometric models, alternative measures of environmental performance, and controlling for endogeneity issues},

abstract = {Purpose



The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on earnings quality in a continental European context (i.e. France) more than a decade after their mandatory adoption. Furthermore, the authors investigate whether the IFRS effect depends on firm-specific incentives.

Design/methodology/approach



The authors construct an aggregated measure that considers the main qualitative information characteristics: reliability and relevance. They identify accruals quality, earnings smoothing and the degree of conditional conservatism as attributes of reliability and use earnings persistence, predictability, value relevance and timeliness to measure earnings relevance. To test the hypotheses, the authors use a sample of French listed companies. The analyses are based on ordinary least squares (OLS) fixed effects, the Newey-West estimator and the difference-in-difference approach. The authors also use cluster analysis to identify firms with high incentives for earnings quality.

Findings



The results reveal a decrease in earnings quality that persisted for a decade after IFRS adoption. This decrease is mainly due to a decline in earnings relevance, suggesting that the fair value principle worsened earnings volatility. However, the results show that there is an improvement in earnings reliability after IFRS adoption, suggesting that the international standards were able to constrain managerial opportunism. Additionally, the findings reveal that firm-specific incentives can enhance the positive effect of IFRS, but the incentives are not able to substitute for such effect.

Research limitations/implications



The IFRS effect depends on firm-specific incentives.

Practical implications



The authors prove that firm-specific incentives are important to accentuate the positive effect of IFRS on earnings reliability and to mitigate the impact of IFRS on earnings relevance.

Originality/value



This paper makes several contributions to the literature. First, it addresses the relative lack of attention to the main qualitative characteristics in measuring earnings quality, that is, earnings reliability and earning relevance, and uses an aggregate earnings quality measure. Second, this paper uses a cluster analysis to highlight the role of firm-specific incentives in shaping the effect of IFRS on earnings quality.},
