The intersection of inflammation and DNA damage as a novel axis underlying the pathogenesis of autism spectrum disorders
Authors: Jhanji Megha , Krall Colleen L. , Guevara Alexis , Yoon Brian , Sajish Mathew , Boccuto Luigi , Lizarraga Sofia B. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTAutism spectrum disorders (ASD) affects 1 in 36 children and is characterized by repetitive behaviors and difficulties in social interactions and social communication. The etiology of ASD is extremely heterogeneous, with a large number of ASD cases that are of unknown or complex etiology, which suggests the potential contribution of epigenetic risk factors. In particular, epidemiological and animal model studies suggest that inflammation during pregnancy could lead to an increased risk of ASD in the offspring. However, the molecular mechanisms that contribute to ASD pathogenesis in relation to maternal inflammation during pregnancy in humans are underexplored. Several pro-inflammatory cytokines have been associated with increased autistic-like behaviors in animal models of maternal immune activation, including IL-17A. Using a combination of ASD patient lymphocytes and stem cell-derived human neurons exposed to IL-17A we discovered a shared molecular signature that highlights a metabolic and translational node that could lead to altered neuronal excitability. Further, our work on human neurons brings forward the possibility that defects in the DNA damage response could be underlying the effect of IL-17A on human excitatory neurons, linking exacerbated unrepaired DNA damage to the pathogenicity of maternal inflammation in connection to ASD.
Essential knowledge, values and pedagogies for teaching global citizenship education in Hong Kong
Authors: Chong King Man Eric , Cheng Chi-Keung Eric 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study aims to explore various conceptions of global citizenship education (GCE) and pedagogies among frontline Chinese Hong Kong secondary school teachers under the onset of a new political climate of conservative nationalism.Design/methodology/approachIt utilised interview findings with a purposive sample of about 22 experienced secondary school teachers in 2019, which was shortly before the city was caught in huge waves of protests. Interviewees come from different demographics, such as subsidy types of schools and school sponsoring bodies and admit students of different socio-economic status and academic capabilities.FindingsThe findings reveal both liberal and nationalistic orientations on knowledge and values of GCE, including sustainability, in recent school education, and the use of discussion and experiential learning for teaching GCE.Research limitations/implicationsA conceptual framework is developed for further research on teaching GCE in different cultural contexts. Developing pedagogies to instil in learners the values, attitudes and behaviours that support responsible global citizenship should become an international research agenda.Originality/valueThe analysis offers insightful views on what, why and how these teachers teach GCE. The authors also construct a framework of teachers' values and teaching beliefs that cultivate global citizens based on the research findings. This framework can inform school leaders, curriculum planners and teacher trainers in developing a more substantial pedagogical framework for GCE.
Local suppliers’ power and its effects on buyers’ reaction
Authors: Liu Feng Hsu 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe selection of capable suppliers in emerging markets raises an interesting dilemma. It might be risky if capable partners grow and behave opportunistically; on the other hand, it might be beneficial to form a relationship with a capable local supplier in an emerging market. To select capable local suppliers with expected increasing power, there is potential for more research on how foreign buyers govern their relationships with various governance modes to influence their capable suppliers’ behavior.Design/methodology/approachThe partial least squares method was used to analyze and find direct support for the authors’ hypotheses based on cross-sectional data from a sample of 134 Taiwanese manufacturers.FindingsThe empirical results of this study indicate that local suppliers with greater supply chain integration and better supply chain agility directly increase power relative to that of buyers and indirectly have a positive impact on two relational development models adopted by buyers (relationship learning and codevelopment) through collaborative communication.Originality/valueWhile selecting capable suppliers can enhance a buyer’s competitive edge, it is important to carefully consider and manage potential negative effects, such as increased dependency and power imbalances. This research demonstrates that two capabilities of local suppliers, i.e. local supply chain agility and local supply chain integration, influence the power of local suppliers.
Financial statement comparability and cash holding: moderated by ESG performance in Indonesia
Authors: Soetanto Tessa Vanina , Agustia Dian 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe paper examines the impact of financial statement comparability on cash holding moderated by Environmental Social Governance (ESG) performance.Design/methodology/approachA panel dataset of all publicly listed Indonesian firms from 2009 to 2022, evaluated with panel data regressions controlled by year and clustered by firms was the method of study. Then, a robustness test using alternative measurements, lagged variables and additional analyses are performed.FindingsThe result shows that there is no moderating role of ESG performance on financial statement comparability toward cash holding among Indonesian firms; nonetheless, ESG performance strengthened the capacity of financial statement comparability to lower cash holding significantly for firms with high ESG performance scores and not significant otherwise. This interplay of variables is developed following the Financial Services Authority imposed ESG regulation for publicly listed firms in Indonesia. Further, the analyses reveal that higher ESG performance can help firms achieve high market-based performance and make it easier to obtain external financing, thus lowering the need to hold more cash.Originality/valueThe study highlights the effect of financial statement comparability on cash holding, particularly moderated by ESG performance in a developing country where the agency cost is high and still very rare to be scrutinized. Additionally, the study helps to know the impacts prior and post-ESG regulation imposed in Indonesia.
A mechanistic study of the influence of quantum leadership on employees’ constructive deviance
Authors: Zhang Yuqi , Chen Xue , Tan Chunping 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to understand how quantum leaders influence employee work behavior through effective tasks.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, 516 questionnaires were collected using the interval data method to explore the triggering mechanisms and paths of emerging quantum leadership on constructive deviance.

Findings
The findings indicate that quantum leadership promotes constructive deviance through facilitating recovery experience (affective path), job crafting (task path) and the chained mediation path between the two. Additionally, the moderating effect of openness to experience strengthens the pathways between quantum leadership and recovery experience, and between quantum leadership and job crafting.

Research limitations/implications
This study focuses closely on the mechanism of leadership behavior on employees, neglecting the psychological state and behavior of the leader as a key resource element in the work environment. Quantum leadership emphasizes value-bound characteristics, so the role played by quantum leaders may vary in different cultures and values.

Practical implications
First, this study calls for the organizational management focusing on the advantages of quantum leadership thinking and its positive effects in practice. Second, the mediating mechanisms of recovery experience and job crafting provide insights into how quantum leadership can be used to enhance constructive deviance. Third, this study elucidates how individual responses to organizational environment and leadership style vary in management practices. Our study helps managers better understand how individual characteristics, such as openness to experience, influence managerial behavior.

Social implications
This study enriches the qualitative research on emerging “quantum” perspectives of leadership, expands the mechanism of employee constructive deviance and highlights the need for organizations to take measures that encourage constructive deviance by their employees, as this can lead to high-quality and long-term growth.

Originality/value
Based on conservation of resources theory, authors revealed the mechanisms by which quantum leadership influences employees’ constructive deviance, confirming the mediating role of recovery experience and job crafting as well as the moderating role of openness to employee experience. We explored the moderating mechanisms of the individual trait of openness to experience in the quantum leadership-to-job crafting and the recovery experience-to-job crafting.

Authors: Ferreira João J.M. , Fernandes Cristina I. , Veiga Pedro Mota 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe impacts of institutions on entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as the effects of technological development, have been subject to various research studies. While this theme inherently remains a focus for political decision-makers, there is very little knowledge on the combined role of institutions, entrepreneurial orientations and innovation capabilities on the technological development of countries. In this study, we examine the impacts of entrepreneurial orientation and the innovative capacity of countries through considering the moderating effect of technological development.Design/methodology/approachThe data used in this study has been collected from various sources, including the World Economic Forum United Nations (UN), World Bank (WB), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) and Scimago. The study focuses on 86 countries that are either at stage 2 or stage 3 of development or in the transition from stage 2 to stage 3.FindingsWe have found that corporate governance, property rights and security institutions have a positive influence on a country’s entrepreneurial mindset and its ability to innovate. Additionally, we have noted that technological advancements also play a role in moderating this relationship. These findings have important implications for the theory, practice and public policies in this area.Originality/valueThis study emphasizes the substantial impact of institutional quality on the entrepreneurial mindset and innovation capabilities of businesses. It shows that perceiving institutions as more stable can have a positive effect on both entrepreneurial orientation and innovative capabilities, ultimately improving companies' competitiveness.
Can understanding self-congruency help educators in deterring students from using ChatGPT?
Authors: Gorkhali Anjee , Shrestha Asim 
Published: December 2024

PurposeEducators are raising ethical concerns over the use of ChatGPT in schools. They have implemented various strategies to minimize its use, particularly by labeling ChatGPT-produced work as plagiarism. However, the use of ChatGPT among students is still on the rise. Our study aims to find the behavioral motivation behind students’ increased use of ChatGPT.Design/methodology/approachWe use PLS-SEM to analyze survey responses from 250 participants in a liberal arts university in the USA.FindingsStudents’ self-congruency influences their attitude and behavioral intention toward ChatGPT. Students use ChatGPT because they find a higher similarity between their personality and the persona depicted by ChatGPT. So, educators must consider creative assignments that cannot be solved using ChatGPT because any other deterrence will not minimize students’ use of ChatGPT.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first research to incorporate students’ behavioral motivation and integrate self-congruency to find the antecedents of increased use of ChatGPT in the education sector.
Building didactic knowledge from reflection in lesson studies
Authors: Fonseca Gorete , da Ponte João Pedro 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe study aims to understand what learning is evidenced regarding knowledge about the teaching of mathematics by five primary teachers when they reflect on research lessons. To do so, we used situations from the formal and informal reflection sessions that took place after teaching four research lessons.Design/methodology/approachIt is a qualitative and interpretative research. Data collection was done by participant observation with elaboration of a research journal, audio recording of sessions and a whole-group interview. Data analysis was made by content analysis based on the conceptual framework.FindingsThe study shows the relevance of carrying out successive research lessons, followed by moments of formal and informal reflection, leading to improvements in relation to the way the task is proposed to the pupils, the representations used and the monitoring and questioning carried out by the teacher in the various phases of the lesson.Originality/valueIn lesson study, very often, only one research lesson is held. This case shows the potential of successive research lessons, each of which is followed by moments of reflection, in promoting the development of teachers’ didactic knowledge, namely regarding teaching practice, providing a more in-depth look at the way pupils work on mathematical tasks and the role of the teacher in promoting learning. Reteaching proved to be a valuable strategy to support teachers’ reflections in order to improve the leading of pupils’ work.
Implementation of regenerative business models in transitioning companies – are middle managers ready for action?
Authors: Gervais Florence , Coulombel Philippe , Okeke Okeoma John-Paul 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to address a substantial research gap regarding the implementation of regenerative business models (RBMs). Drawing on complementary organizational behaviour theories, it explores the role of middle managers in this process and how to move them to action.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 14 French companies, whose CEOs have publicly announced a transition to RBM, was identified. In each company, a middle manager involved in implementing RBM changes was interviewed using a qualitative expert interview methodology.

Findings
The findings confirm the pivotal role of middle managers in achieving business model changes. Three major influencing factors combine to form a typology of middle managers’ action-readiness profiles.

Research limitations/implications
This study has limitations that suggest directions for future research. Firstly, while qualitative methods offer valuable insights, they lack the generalizability of quantitative approaches. Secondly, as this study is limited to France, there is a need for similar research in other regions to understand cultural variations in middle managers’ interactions with RBMs.

Practical implications
The study identifies three levers to accelerate RBM implementation: introducing collaborative instances, developing strategies to enhance middle managers’ action readiness and ensuring an appropriate alignment between middle managers’ profiles and the demands of RBM transitions.

Originality/value
The study contributes novel insights into the challenges faced by companies in innovating their business model by taking a regenerative approach.
From regrets to returns: how interaction quality and store image shape store revisit intentions
Authors: Waqas Muhammad , Khan Muhammad Ali , Waseem Muhammad Adnan , Wajid Nauman 
Published: December 2024

PurposeGiven the lack of understanding surrounding search regret, this study aims to draw on the regret regulatory theory to investigate the outcomes of search regret and effective strategies to reduce its adverse effects.Design/methodology/approachUsing time-lagged data from 331 salespeople-customers dyads, this study investigates the connection between search regret, store image, interaction quality, and store revisit intentions.FindingsCustomers develop negative perceptions of the store, subsequently reducing their intentions to revisit. Salespeople’s interaction quality can reduce the negative impact of search regret on store image and revisit intentions. Furthermore, store image serves as a mediator between search regret and revisit intentions.Originality/valueThis study marks the first attempt to investigate the store image and revisit intentions as outcomes of search regret and examines the moderating role of salespeople’s interaction quality in reducing the negative consequences of search regret.

Authors: Özgen Caner , Kim Euisoo , Köse Hüseyin , Balcı Velittin , Çevik Hüseyin 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine the holistic impact of expanded servicescape stimuli (physical, social, socio-symbolic, natural) on the decision-making processes (emotional, attitudinal, normative, and control) of fitness center members and consequently, the indirect effects on behavioral intentions (response) within the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model.Design/methodology/approachA total of 336 fitness center members were reached using the convenience sampling method. The fundamental methodological principles of structural equation modeling (SEM) were followed to validate the proposed theoretical model and test the hypotheses.FindingsThe results revealed that the holistic servicescape stimuli of fitness centers affect the emotional, normative, attitudinal, and control variables in the psychological decision-making processes of members, thereby influencing their intentions to maintain their fitness center memberships.Originality/valueThis study significantly advances the literature by empirically demonstrating the combined effects of expanded servicescape stimuli on the decision-making processes of fitness center customers. Thus, providing valuable insights for both academics and practitioners in environmental psychology and sports marketing.
How ethnic congruence affects authenticity and perceived taste of traditional foods
Authors: Kuo Yahui , Helm Sabrina 
Published: December 2024

PurposeFood taste is essential for customer satisfaction and loyalty with food products and services. This study examines how ethnic cues influence taste perceptions in the growing traditional food sector.Design/methodology/approachTwo experiments were conducted among students, faculty and staff members of two Taiwanese universities. The first experiment manipulated congruence of three ethnic cues (chef, wait staff and atmosphere) in an ethnic food setting, the second manipulated local identity salience and cue congruence for chefs in a local traditional food setting.FindingsEthnic congruities between food and chefs, wait staff and atmospherics increase perceived taste of traditional dishes, mediated by perceptions of authenticity and enhanced by consumer cosmopolitanism. In local traditional food settings, the indirect effect of ethnic congruence was found only when subjects perceived strong local identity. Cosmopolitanism played a negative role in the local traditional food setting.Practical implicationsThe findings of this research provide insights into the potential taste management for both ethnic and local traditional food products and services and aid in the development of marketing strategies based on ethnic cues.Originality/valueThis research extends understanding of accessibility-diagnosticity theory to food judgments, empirically testing the implicit theory that ethnic food presented with ethnically congruent cues tastes better. To our knowledge, this is the first investigation distinguishing the different effects of ethnic cues on actual perceived taste for unfamiliar ethnic food and familiar local traditional food.
