Evolutionary Timelines Help Explain the Evolution of Parental Care Strategies
Authors: Graham Zackary A , Loughman Zachary J , Palaoro Alexandre V 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Comparative research on the evolution of parental care has followed a general trend in recent years, with researchers gathering data on clutch size or egg size and correlating these traits with ecological variables across a phylogeny. The goal of these studies is to shed light on how and why certain strategies evolve. However, results vary across studies, and we rarely have results explaining why the observed pattern occurred, leaving us with further hypotheses to test. By using a combination of comparative methods, we provide an explanation of how such patterns emerge based on the evolutionary timeline of constructing burrows and the energy invested into egg size and egg number; this combination also allowed us to pinpoint why the pattern occurred. We do so with data on freshwater crayfish, which are ideal for such investigations because they vary in their reliance on burrows, their body size, and their investment into their offspring. Specifically, we tested whether a strong dependence on burrows is related to investment in eggs (i.e., larger eggs or more eggs) given the body size of the species. Surprisingly, we found no correlation between burrowing and the size or number of eggs crayfish lay; instead, body size was the best predictor of the number of eggs (but not the size of eggs) that each species lays. Interestingly, our analyses suggest that crayfish ancestors had a small clutch size, relatively large eggs, and a weak connection to burrows. Thus, the shift to heavily relying on burrows appeared after this lineage was already investing in large eggs, which gives insights into the colonization of freshwater by an ancestral astacidean ancestor. Although other studies show that the evolution of parental care strategies is not straightforward, our study provides a clear evolutionary timeline of the interplay between the evolution of burrowing behavior and shifts in the evolution of egg investment. Furthermore, our work showcases how merging multiple phylogenetically informed approaches can disentangle the origin and evolution of life history traits.

Authors: Treiber Michael , Tsapakis Eva-Maria , Fountoulakis Konstantinos 
Published: December 2024

Aims
We aimed to evaluate the immediate and up to 3 months' effect of multiple-session repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on alcohol craving in AUD.

Methods
We performed a systematic review and random effects meta-analysis. We included randomized controlled trials with at least 10 sessions of rTMS and postintervention alcohol craving assessment. We evaluated the immediate and up to 3 months' effects of active rTMS versus sham stimulation.

Results
Twelve studies met inclusion criteria, including 475 participants across both treatment and control groups. rTMS reduced alcohol craving over sham stimulation immediately post-treatment (SMD = −0.79, 95% CI: −1.53 to −0.04, P = 0.04, I
2 = 93%). Concerning a maintenance effect, our meta-analysis revealed a medium effect for active rTMS in reduction of alcohol craving at 3-month follow-up (SMD = −0.44, 95% CI: −0.77 to 0.11, P < 0.01, I
2 = 38%). Our subgroup analysis revealed that rTMS targeting the medial prefrontal cortex (SMD = −2.12, 95% CI: −4.34 to 0.09, P = 0.06, I
2 = 94%) may be more effective than stimulating the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (SMD = −1.04, 95% CI: −2.56 to 0.48, P = 0.18, I
2 = 96%) or left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (SMD = −0.27, 95% CI: −0.60 to 0.05, P = 0.10, I
2 = 0%) immediately after treatment.

Conclusion
A minimum of 10 sessions of rTMS reduced alcohol craving immediately after treatment; this effect seems to be sustained over a 3-month period. We provide limited evidence of superiority for rTMS targeting the medial prefrontal cortex.
Individual and product-related antecedents of electronic word-of-mouth
Authors: Anastasiei Bogdan , Dospinescu Nicoleta , Dospinescu Octavian 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis research investigates the antecedents of positive and negative electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) propensity, as well as the impact of eWOM propensity on the intention to repurchase the product.Design/methodology/approachTwo types of eWOM predictors were considered: product related variables and personal factors. The data were collected through an online survey conducted on a sample of 335 Romanian subjects, and the analysis method was Structural Equation Modelling.FindingsOur findings show that personal factors – social media usage behaviour, marketing mavenism and need to evaluate – are the most important antecedents of the intention to write product reviews and comments online, either positive or negative. From the product related factors, only brand trust influences the propensity to provide eWOM. Furthermore, both positive and negative eWOM intentions are associated with the repurchase intention.Originality/valueThe major theoretical contribution of this study consists of revealing that personal traits are stronger eWOM propensity predictors than product related variables. In light of our results, most people will likely not share their positive or negative opinions about products and brands, no matter how good or bad their experience was, no matter how satisfied or dissatisfied they are. The high eWOM intention levels are associated with the presence of some inner characteristics that push customers to voice their feelings and thoughts in the social networks.

Top management teams' digital experience and innovation efficiency: evidence from China
Authors: Wang Bo , Yang Yang 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study focuses on the relationship between top management teams' (TMTs) digital experience and company innovation efficiency. In addition, this study examines the mechanism role of digital transformation processes, including basic capability, chief information officer (CIO) appointments, process management and business management, on the relationship between TMTs' digital experience and innovation efficiency.Design/methodology/approachBased on the sample of China's A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021, this article employs data envelopment analysis (DEA) and PSM-DID models to examine the effect of TMTs' digital experience on company innovation efficiency.FindingsThe TMTs' digital experience was positively correlated with company innovation efficiency. Artificial intelligence and digital platform are two key technologies that TMTs' digital experience effects company innovation efficiency. The financial ability of companies is a key factor to ensure the effectiveness of these two technologies. Digital foundation only played an important role in the early stages. In addition, TMTs' digital experience is more focused on technological management, not process management and business management. We also found that the CIO did not play a positive role on digital innovation. Finally, within the manufacturing industry and non-high-tech companies, the TMTs' digital experience has proven to be notably more effective in enhancing innovation efficiency.Practical implicationsThis study advises that companies in the initial stages of digital transformation should give precedence to recruiting managers with digital experience into TMT, as their role is pivotal in propelling digital transformation in innovation. Futhermore, it is suggested that in the selection of TMT members, firms could consider dual appointments, such as CIO combined with other roles. Finally, this study recommends that TMTs with a digital background should pursue deeper technological competencies before embarking on corresponding business and process managements.Originality/valueFirst, this study constructs a theoretical framework for examining how TMTs' digital experience influences innovation efficiency. Second, this study embedded the digital technology into the company innovation input index, elucidating how TMTs' digital experience directly enhances innovation efficiency. Finally, this study reveals how basic capability, CIO appointments, process management and business management affect the relationship between TMT digital experience and innovation efficiency.

Developing a community responsive resilient contractor selection model for post-disaster reconstruction projects: a build back better approach
Authors: Demirci Fehmi Samet , Isik Zeynep 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study aims to develop a resilient contractor selection model that also considers community concerns in post-disaster reconstruction projects using a “build-back better (BBB)” approach.Design/methodology/approachAt the outset, a comprehensive literature review was conducted to develop the model. During this literature review, a set of contractor selection criteria were identified. Focus group discussion (FGD) sessions were then organized to revise and refine the identified criteria. As a result, a final list of 39 selection criteria was developed. Next, the Bayesian best worst method (BBWM) was conducted to determine the weights of each selection criterion. Finally, the proposed model was validated by conducting a hypothetical case study and fuzzy VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (fuzzy VIKOR) analysis. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to examine the effect of the maximum group utility (v) value in the model.FindingsThe results emphasized that contractors in post-disaster reconstruction projects cannot be selected merely based on “technical” and “economic” factors. Instead, the other aspects, namely “organizational and managerial,” “environmental sustainability,” “resource management and procurement” and “end-user,” should also be taken into consideration. Second, factors related to financial strength, experience, risk management, energy efficiency, resource availability and assurance were particularly deemed the most significant, needing the detailed attention of the decision-makers. Lastly, the case study revealed that the proposed model has a significant potential to systemize contractor selection processes in post-disaster reconstruction projects.Originality/valueDisasters, which are increasing in frequency and severity today, devastate the community’s environmental, economic and social conditions. Post-disaster reconstruction projects commence rapidly after a disaster for recovery. However, poor management procedures in these projects trigger time and cost overruns. Unlike traditional construction projects, post-disaster reconstruction projects are distinctive due to the uncertainties caused by the disasters and the prioritization of community concerns. Therefore, contractors should be selected in a way that can meet the specific needs of reconstruction projects. Otherwise, resilience in the built environment and community satisfaction can hardly be enhanced. Accordingly, this study is one of the first attempts to develop a contractor selection model for post-disaster reconstruction projects. It is believed that the developed model will make essential theoretical and practical contributions to the post-disaster reconstruction domain.

Do I feel entitled to it? Caring dads after the equalization of parental leave in Spain
Authors: Fernández-Cornejo José Andrés , Castellanos-Serrano Cristina , Del Pozo-García Eva , Palomo-Vadillo Maite , Cáceres-Ruiz Juan Ignacio , Escot Lorenzo 
Published: December 2024

PurposeIn January 2021, Spanish paid parental leave for fathers was fully equated with that for mothers. Is this facilitating working fathers developing an identity of caring fathers?Design/methodology/approachWe conducted qualitative research based on 31 interviews with heterosexual fathers residing in Spain, who had a child from January 1, 2021 onwards, who cohabited with the baby’s mother, and who were salaried. We also added two mothers with the same characteristics and seven human resources managers from large companies.FindingsThere has been a rapid acceptance and normalization of the use of these new equalized leaves. For many fathers this has been accompanied by the experience of a greater sense of “being legitimized” to engage in caregiving. The intensity of this process could be subject to two opposing forces. One in favor, especially when fathers care alone for as long as possible; and one against, when fathers assume the role of the mother’s helper and when the support of significant and relevant others is lacking in several domains, including the work place.Social implicationsWhether this ambivalence is resolved in favor of advancement could depend on how successful public policy is. Reforms of parental leave systems should encourage men to take on single-handed care, and companies should be encouraged to become more aware of the need for co-responsibility between fathers and mothers in childcare.Originality/valueSpain now has one of the most gender-equal parental leave systems in the world. It is important to know what meaning new fathers are giving to this advance and to what extent this is facilitating the emergence of a caregiving masculinity.
When AI–chatbots disappoint – the role of freedom of choice and user expectations in attribution of responsibility for failure
Authors: Castillo Daniela , Canhoto Ana Isabel , Said Emanuel 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe implementation of AI-powered chatbots in the frontline may enhance efficiency, yet failures are still common. This paper aims to explore users' attribution of responsibility for service failures when using AI–chatbots and to examine how contextual factors influence perceptions of blame.Design/methodology/approachThis work utilizes a mixed-methods approach, leveraging the findings from 39 exploratory interviews to develop the research framework and hypotheses. Subsequently, two experimental studies evaluated the type of interaction, failure type and failure severity.FindingsThe qualitative study identified voluntary and forced interaction types perceived by users based on contextual factors and demonstrated how these types impact expectations and responsibility attribution post-failure. The experimental studies showed that forced interactions intensify responsibility attributions toward the company and that disconfirmation of expectations mediates the relationship between forced interactions and responsibility attribution. Furthermore, failure type and severity level have a moderating influence on responsibility attribution.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the theoretical understanding of user interactions with AI-powered frontline technology, by revealing the nuanced ways in which users perceive and react to failures.
Shining diamonds: innovation that outperforms peers and corporate financial misconduct
Authors: Zhong Xi , She Jianquan , Ren Ge 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to provide insight into how innovation that outperforms peers (IOP) affects corporate financial misconduct. To this end, on the basis of fraud triangle theory, we develop a theoretical relationship between the two and argue that IOP has an inhibitory effect on corporate financial misconduct.Design/methodology/approachOn the basis of empirical data from Chinese listed companies from 2007–2023, we conduct a series of tests to examine whether, how and under what circumstances IOP affects corporate financial misconduct.FindingsIOP does inhibit corporate financial misconduct. This result is validated in a series of sensitivity tests. Further analysis shows that IOP inhibits corporate financial misconduct by reducing executives' incentives to engage in fraud, reducing the opportunity under which executives are involved in fraud, and inhibiting executives' tendency to rationalize fraud. In addition, the results of cross-sectional tests show that the negative impact of IOP on corporate financial misconduct is more significant when the firm is a high-tech enterprise, with a greater balance of power among shareholders, lower supplier concentration and greater consumer confidence.Originality/valueFirst, by examining the impact of IOP and corporate financial misconduct, we enrich and extend the literature on the antecedents of corporate financial misconduct. Second, by theoretically and empirically validating the relationship between IOP and corporate financial misconduct, we extend the literature related to the economic consequences of IOP. Finally, we extend fraud triangle theory to a wider range of applications and provide new perspectives and strategies for further research and intervention in corporate financial misconduct.
Examining forensic service effectiveness within an NHS Trust: outcomes and considerations for practice
Authors: Krishnan Nishant , Sebalo Ivan , Copeland-Blair Wendy , Ireland Jane L. 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine whole service effectiveness using a secure version of the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS-Secure), further supplemented in some services by the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) and the Patient Reported Experience and Outcome Measure (PREOM).

Design/methodology/approach
The utility of these measures were considered across the full remit of forensic services within a single NHS Trust. A total of 1,038 service users were included (male, n = 876), with the majority of these presenting with HoNOS-Secure ratings. It was predicted that there would be differences pre and post therapy indicated using these measures, that there would be further differences in relation to period of contact with services, and an association was also noted in relation to aggression within services.

Findings
Results indicated that HoNOS-Secure scores decreased following treatment and as a function of time spent in secure care. However, no statistically significant improvement or deterioration was observed on patient-reported outcome measures (CORE-OM and PREOM).

Practical implications
The paper concludes with a comparative examination evaluating potential arguments regarding why low levels of distress are observed within forensic populations and why discrepancies exist between clinician-rated and patient-reported routine outcome measures.

Originality/value
Research into this area is limited and yet the HoNOS is a widely implemented tool, without consideration of the core value of this measure.
