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.},

journal = {Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management},
volume = {19},

pages = {182-202},
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.},

We find that CSR performance and its three dimensions, that is, environmental, social, and
governance?have positive effects on firm value. The results also show that under slack resources and strong corporate governance, the positive effect of CSR on firm value is strongly supported. These results suggest that managers should be aware that they can also attract shareholders'
interests in the stock market while addressing stakeholders' concerns, especially when the firm has available financial slack and strong board monitoring.},

abstract = {Amidst the unprecedented economic backdrop of a global pandemic, the intricate web of greenwashing discourse in times of fake news has woven its threads into the fabric of corporate sustainability, reshaping managers' perceptions and challenging their attitudes toward sustainable decision-making. In a two-phase qualitative study, this research explores the impact of greenwashing discourse on managers' perceptions and attitudes toward sustainability post pandemic in France. The results reveal a disconnection between external greenwashing discourse and the managerial mindset, as claims of greenwashing are often linked to ?fake news.? Furthermore, the study shows that the pandemic has shifted the spotlight onto financial concerns, overshadowing sustainability in strategic decision-making and thereby altering the landscape of corporate responsibility. Going beyond the conventional focus on consumers and clients, this study aims to fill a critical gap in greenwashing research by examining the impact on different stakeholders. In this investigation, we aim to contribute to research on greenwashing discourse by offering more comprehensive understanding of the complexities and nuances involved in managerial perceptions of the discourse and sustainability initiatives in an era marked by unprecedent challenges.},

However, users' subjective experiences with these chatbots often extend beyond simple interactions, reflecting the complex dynamics of liminality and ambivalence. Through a netnographic study of the chatbot Replika, we explore how users experience relational liminality, and control and agency liminality. These dynamics contribute to what we term flowing ambivalence, where users feel both comforted and unsettled, fostering dependency on chatbots despite an awareness of their artificial empathy. Our findings suggest that emotional support chatbots provoke complex emotional states that fluctuate and adapt, underscoring the need for nuanced frameworks to understand how users relate to AI tools.},

The results revealed that authentic leadership directly impacts sustainable behavior intentions whereas cognitive and behavioral employee engagement mediates the relationship between authentic leadership and sustainable behavioral intentions. Additionally, environmental values strengthen the positive relationship between employee engagement's cognitive and behavioral dimensions and sustainable behavioral intentions. This study advances the social exchange theory by empirically testing the beneficial effects of authentic leadership and employee engagement on the intention to engage in sustainable behavior.

While environmental factors receive favourable treatment, economic and governance transitions are less prioritized. Lenders tend to form more dispersed syndicates when supporting firms focused on ESG transitions, especially environmental ones. This research highlights the uneven focus within ESG transitions and emphasizes the underexamined area of governance, providing insights into lending relationships.},

abstract = {This study investigates whether family firms emit less carbon than their

affects carbon emissions. Using a sample of 308 French companies listed in
the CAC-All Shares Index, spanning the period from 2002 to 2020, we found
that family firms are more likely than non-family ones to reduce their carbon
footprints. However, the carbon behavior of family firms is not homogeneous.
Family eponymy negatively influences carbon emissions. Surprisingly, the
effect of the family generational stage is positive, suggesting that family
firms in the first generations are more virtuous than those in subsequent
generations. Additional evidence shows that the presence of founder CEOs
or board chairpersons is associated with reductions in carbon emissions. We
also found that green innovation, polluting industries, and the Paris Agree-
ment and the energy transition law of 2015 strengthened carbon emission
reductions among family firms. Finally, committing to carbon emission
reduction serves as a pathway for family firms to enhance their firm value;},

abstract = {Purpose
The severity of global competition and vast hostile challenges is compelling the information and communications technology (ICT) industry to focus on internal organizational factors to excel in performance. This study investigates the influence of shared responsibility, perceived identifiability and workplace spirituality on employees' performance through work engagement. In addition, the moderating influence of work orientation on the relationships between shared responsibility, perceived identifiability and workplace spirituality with employee performance was also investigated.
Design/methodology/approach
Time-lagged and multisource data were acquired from 267 followers and their 69 immediate supervisors/managers of ICT firms. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data.
Findings
The findings reveal that the impact of shared responsibilities, perceived identifiability and workplace spirituality on performance (e.g. extra-role and in-role) is mediated by work engagement. Additionally, the positive association of perceived identifiability and workplace spirituality with work engagement is more pronounced when work orientation is high, indicating a positive moderation of work orientation.
Originality/value
This is among the initial studies that examine the impact of shared responsibility, perceived identifiability and workplace spirituality on overall employee performance through work engagement. The moderation of work orientation in these proposed relationships has not been previously examined. This study suggests novel theoretical and managerial implications for the ICT industry based on the results.},

abstract = {Purpose
This study aims to explore the impact of nonpharmacological therapies on cancer patients' daily illness management and long-term well-being. It focuses on the design and effects of immersive multisensory workshops, including therapies such as yoga, music therapy and visual imagery. By examining individuals' experiences before, during and after the service experience, the study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the transformative effects of these immersive multisensorial experiences from the individuals' perspectives.
Design/methodology/approach
From November 2021 to March 2023, the authors conducted 13 interviews and 3 focus groups (10 participants in total) among cancer patients. Thematic analysis of recorded interviews and focus groups revealed recurring patterns, key themes and meaningful insights from participants' narratives.
Findings
The findings provide insights into individuals' journey of service experiences among cancer patients from a user perspective. By framing the results within the service encounters model, individuals' journey of this immersive multisensory experience is studied in three different periods: the pre-core, the core and the post-core service encounter. The pre-core service encounter includes activities such as information gathering to answer concerns and setting expectations, with the therapy. The core service encounter encompasses the immersive environmental experience, which includes multisensory integration and activity immersion, body-mind reconnection, as well as engaging interactive experiences with service providers, other patients and internal engagement. The post-core service encounter reflects the cognitive, psychological, behavioral and spiritual outcomes of the service.
Originality/value
This paper sheds light on the design of immersive multisensory workshops as nonpharmacological therapy. Adopting a user-focused approach using the service encounters framework helps clarify various aspects of this therapy and its effects on patients' reconnection with their bodies and well-being. This research offers valuable insights for designing effective multisensory therapeutic environments for chronic patients to improve the quality of health-care services.},

Accordingly, this study explores the direct impact of immersion on psychological empowerment and post-purchase intentions. We also determine the mediating role of telepresence and escapism and the moderating role of interaction with avatars. Drawing upon telepresence theory, the conceptual framework was tested using data from 330 respondents. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that telepresence and escapism mediate the relationship between immersion, psychological empowerment, and post-purchase behavior. Moreover, interaction with the avatar also acts as a boundary condition between the relationship of immersion with escapism and telepresence. We extended the existing literature by empirically testing the role of immersive technologies and for practitioners to increase post-purchase behaviors by focusing on telepresence and escapism.},

Using a sample of Us-listed companies, the findings support the notion that robust CSR frameworks such as the presence of a CSR committee reduce the motivations of manipulative tendencies by executives (measured by restatements). Contrary to conventional beliefs, our findings suggest that the size of the CSR committee does not influence the manipulative tendencies, whereas, the strength of female directors and a higher number of independent directors on the CSR committee has a positive and substantial influence on ethical decision-making, reducing the inclination towards manipulative intentions. Supporting the stakeholder theory notion, we suggest firms with CSR committees display a genuine commitment to stakeholder interests, exhibiting better performance in both social and financial activities. Our study contributes to the ongoing discourse on corporate governance, ethical decision-making, and the broader implications for organizational behavior and outcomes.},

In this connection, observers' silence might function as a mediator, and leader-member exchange quality could moderate the process. The tests of these predictions rely on two studies, undertaken in Pakistan: a temporally separated field study using three-wave data (N = 219) and a scenario-based experiment (N = 118). The combined results indicate that employees feel guilty for remaining silent when they witness supervisor ostracism of other colleagues. The positive relationship between such observations of supervisor ostracism and silence behavior is more pronounced among employees who enjoy high-quality relationships with their supervisor. In addition to establishing key theoretical insights, this article alerts organizations to a critical mechanism (silence to avoid upsetting supervisors) by which employees' observations of how supervisors ostracize others can escalate into their own sense of guilt.},

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.},

abstract = {Organizations are increasingly expecting individuals to engage in task proactivity, that is, to find better ways of doing their job. 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.},

The study reveals that CEO overconfidence negatively affects the efficiency of firms' investments by exacerbating the overinvestment problem. This result supports the behavioral finance theory and suggests that overconfident CEOs invest aggressively because they underestimate their risk of failure and overestimate their capabilities. The results also indicate that financial constraints mitigate overconfident CEOs' behavior and serve as a good instrument for enforcing financial discipline and improving investment decision efficiency. Additional evidence suggests that overconfident CEOs made less inefficient investment decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The results also reveal that women directors impact CSR report assurance when they are in a critical mass. Furthermore, both executive and non-executive women directors impact the firm's likelihood of seeking CSR report assurance; however, the relationship is more pronounced for executive women directors. We also show that the relationship of women directors with CSR report assurance is only significant for firms operating in environmentally sensitive industries. The cross-sectional analysis also exhibits that our main finding holds only for firms with weak governance and low CSR orientation. Finally, we document that the CSR committee channels the impact of women directors on the firm's likelihood of seeking CSR report assurance. The results provide interesting insights into the governance-CSR assurance nexus and have important practical implications for stakeholders globally.},

abstract = {Purpose
Entrepreneurial orientation is among the vital factors that contribute to performance, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, the empirical studies provide mixed results and call for new studies to examine this relationship. Therefore, this study aims to determine the entrepreneurial orientation's (EO) direct and indirect impact (via entrepreneurial competencies) on firm performance. Additionally, the moderating role of environmental dynamism is also tested in entrepreneurial competencies and firm performance relationships.
Design/methodology/approach
The data (N = 332) were collected from managerial rank employees, using a self-administered questionnaire, working in different SMEs in Pakistan. In addition, structural equation modeling (SEM) was executed using SmartPLS 3.2.
Findings
The study's results demonstrate that EO positively influences entrepreneurial competencies and firm performance, and entrepreneurial competencies also mediate the relationship between EO and performance. Additionally, environmental dynamism strengthens the positive relationship between entrepreneurial competencies and performance.
Originality/value
This study identifies that entrepreneurial competency is the missing link between EO and firm performance, due to which the relationship between them is indecisive. This study also contributes to the contingency perspective by explaining the role of environmental dynamism as a boundary condition in strengthening the relationship between entrepreneurial competencies and SMEs' performance in an emerging economy.},

abstract = {Research Question/Issue
We investigate the impact of board co-option on corporate environmental orientation from the perspective of waste management. As waste presents damaging effects on the natural environment, climate change, and human health, businesses assume an ethical responsibility to conduct their operations in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Research Findings/Insights
Employing firm-level waste production data, we document a significant negative relationship between board co-option and waste generation, suggesting that co-opted directors help firms reduce their waste?a finding that also carries economic significance. The cross-sectional analyses reveal that the relationship only holds when a CEO does not chair the board and has a shorter tenure. Furthermore, we find that the board co-option-waste management relationship is stronger in environmentally sensitive industries and is mainly driven by the manufacturing firms. We perform a battery of analyses to rule out endogeneity concerns and check for the robustness of our results. The channel test reveals that CEOs of firms with higher waste management face lower performance-induced turnover, particularly when working with co-opted boards. Finally, we also find that co-option-induced waste management initiatives ultimately increase firms' economic value.
Theoretical/Academic Implications
We document that co-opted boards may enhance firms' waste management practices by reducing performance-induced CEO turnover. Thus, we make important contributions to the corporate governance and environmentalism strands of the literature by highlighting the bright side of board co-option for waste reduction initiatives.
Practitioner/Policy Implications
Our study provides vital policy implications for regulators and top management teams against the background of public outcry and social pressure to mitigate the damage to the environment and calls for ethical business practices.},

In the European context of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan approach and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs), this paper scrutinises three French localities to determine the current best practices and limitations for designing mobility plans and integrating environmental issues. Several limitations are identified: (1) limited expertise in defining and characterising actions and objectives, which complexifies plans' design, understanding, and monitoring; (2) a lack of a framework to conduct long-term quantitative environmental assessments and to use the results to influence decision effectively; and (3) monitoring processes are barely described in the documents, and the planning horizon where objectives are defined is not in sync with the indicators' mandatory evaluation period. This French case study thus reveals that European planning practices must be further analysed and improved to deal with the rising environmental concerns, e.g. through an operational framework to design mobility plans with effective integration of environmental issues.},

The primary focus is on the effect of increasing interest rates on the carbon footprint of companies, both prior to and following the implementation of the Paris Agreement in 2015. The results show that there is a positive relationship between interest rates and carbon emissions indicating that in the face of increasing interest rates, companies are more likely to choose short-term financial stability above long-term sustainability objectives. This positive relationship is less prevalent following the Paris Agreement suggesting that policymakers should continue to strengthen global climate initiatives as a pressure for companies to invest in green activities. Additional evidence suggests that the impact of interest rates on carbon emissions is particularly noticeable in situations characterized by elevated levels of economic and policy uncertainty, weak corporate governance quality, and poor investor protection. These results are robust to endogeneity concerns, alternative measures of interest rates, carbon emission, and alternative samples.},

Our main inference is robust when using alternative measures of oil price volatility and environmental performance, alternative econometric specifications and samples, and several approaches to control for endogeneity. In a set of additional analyses, we first conduct a difference-in-differences analysis that exploits the Arab Spring as an exogenous oil price volatility increase and document a stronger relationship between oil price volatility and environmental performance in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. We second identify (i) capital expenditures and (ii) alternative energy importation as two mechanisms through which oil price volatility influences environmental performance. We finally show that national culture plays a significant role in moderating the relationship between oil price volatility and environmental performance. Taken together, our empirical findings highlight the role of economic uncertainty in affecting firms' environmental performance and provide significant contributions to management and policymakers.},

abstract = {Material deprivation and the risk of poverty, exacerbated by recent unexpected events such as the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, are significant social issues that profoundly affect the lives of numerous individuals. In contrast, social robots represent problem-solving innovations that have the potential to contribute to the achievement of the 17 sustainable development goals established by the United Nations. This paper investigates the association between the adoption of social robots and the risk of poverty, while also establishing the connection between the diffusion of social robots and the proportion of individuals experiencing material deprivation. The study involves a sample of 28 European countries and utilizes statistical analysis of data collected from 2018 to 2021.By taking into account variables such as average income and the unemployment rate, our findings indicate a negative association between the utilization of social robots and both the risk of poverty and the proportion of individuals living in material deprivation. Therefore, our research offers theoretical and managerial implications, serving as a basis for policymakers and managers to make informed decisions aimed at improving the standard of living for the most marginalized individuals.},

negatively affects companies' environmental responsibilities. In particular, the availability of non-renewable
natural capital leads firms to overexploit resources, leading to weaker engagement in environmental activ-
ities. We also show that the Paris Agreement in 2015 improved the focus of firms operating in natural capital-rich countries on environmental responsibility. Further evidence shows that the influence of natural capital on
corporate environmental responsibility is more prevalent for firms in developing countries and manufacturing
industries. This negative effect also holds for the emission-reduction and resource-use subdimensions of environmental responsibility. However, renewable natural capital positively affects environmental innovation. Our results are robust to endogeneity concerns.},

Overall CSR performance and dimensions relating to diversity, employee relations and environment are negatively associated to firm leverage, implying easier access to equity financing. Contrastingly, the human rights dimension is positively associated to firm leverage. For internationalized firms, particularly operating in non-environmentally sensitive industries, the relationship is however reversed for overall CSR performance and dimensions related to diversity, employee relations and environment, while community performance is negatively associated to firm leverage. Drawing on the stakeholder theory of capital structure and stakeholder salience, we highlight the heterogeneous consequences of CSR dimensions as channels that both enable and limit access to equity financing. Our results are robust to alternative explanations and proxies and highlight the need for managing specific CSR dimension performance, the more so when operating multi-nationally.},

using cash reserves to cover up expenses and maintain operations. This posi-
tive effect is more pronounced for firms operating in countries with strong
investor protection, for those with strong governance quality, and for those
with high corporate social responsibility performance. However, it is less

abstract = {State capitalism has been a growing phenomenon since the early 2010s. This is especially the case in emerging markets, in which the state plays a viable and strong role. As it has become particularly prominent due to the international activities of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), state capitalism has been widely discussed in the international business literature. Scholars have emphasized the need to explore the various kinds of state capitalism and to advance our knowledge of its influence on the international activities of firms, beyond that it exerts on SOEs. We proposed the concept of state capitalism as embodied by an omnipresent state that influences the internationalization of both state-owned and private firms. Integrating institutional theory and agency theory, we examined the international activities of Russian SOEs and private firms over the 2013-2018 period and found state ownership and political connections to be the two mechanisms by which state capitalism in Russia can negatively affect the internationalization activities of Russian firms.},

abstract = {Small and medium organizations (SMEs) are the backbone of any country, especially emerging economies like Pakistan. Yet, they hesitate to make long-term investments due to financial and market turbulence, inflation, limited economic opportunities, and political instability, especially in developing countries. In such a context, relying on social networks could benefit entrepreneurs, but its relationship with entrepreneurial success remains unclear. Using network theory as a theoretical standpoint, this study aims to understand the underlying mechanisms of the relationship between social networks and entrepreneurial success in SME industries of Pakistan. The indirect effect of knowledge acquisition and the moderating role of green entrepreneurial orientation are also tested. The data was collected from 311 Pakistani SMEs through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results revealed that social networks strongly influenced knowledge acquisition and entrepreneurial success and confirmed the positive moderating role of green entrepreneurial orientation in all relationships. This study significantly underwrites academic literature by identifying a unique theoretical framework that tests the underlying methods for entrepreneurial success for SMEs in an emerging economy. For practitioners, this study empirically proves the significance of social networks that SME managers should consider during strategic planning to achieve business success.},

firms from 2002 through 2018, we find that CO2 emission
plays a moderating role in reshaping the CSR-stock valuation

for using alternate proxies of CSR, CO2, additional control

we explored how increasing carbon footprints reshape
this association only for firms with strong governance structures.
Overall, our results indicate that the positive impact

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.

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.},

To test this theory, we employ an original dataset sourced from the Mexican 2018-2021 Chamber of Deputies, which comprises the inaugural group of Congress members allowed to seek reelection after a 90-year prohibition within the context of a transforming party system marked by the diminishing electoral attractiveness of traditional parties. Our findings carry significant implications for comprehending how party leaders recognise and reward legislators who effectively safeguard the party's interests and uphold its reputation inside the halls of Congress.},
