Nurses’ emotions, emotional labor, and job satisfaction
Authors: Lee Mikyoung , Jang Keum-Seong 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between emotional labor, emotions, and job satisfaction among nurses, and explore the mediating role of emotions in the relationship between emotional labor and job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study was designed with 168 nurses in Korea. Structural equation modeling and path analysis were performed to analyze data.FindingsSurface acting correlated positively with anxiety and frustration. Deep acting correlated positively with enjoyment and pride but correlated negatively with anxiety, anger and frustration. Enjoyment and pride correlated positively with job satisfaction; anger correlated negatively with job satisfaction. Deep acting correlated positively with job satisfaction, while surface acting did not show a significant relationship. Enjoyment, pride and anger mediated the relationship between deep acting and job satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThis research expands empirical findings on nurses’ emotional experiences, by considering their discrete emotions rather than general affect. It is the first study to empirically examine the relationships between emotional labor, discrete emotions and job satisfaction, as well as the mediating role of emotions in the relationship between emotional labor and job satisfaction in the nursing field. The mediating role of emotions suggests that not only nurses and nurse managers but also hospital administrators should take nurses’ emotions into account to increase nurses’ well-being and their job satisfaction. Finally, differential influences of surface acting and deep acting on nurses’ emotional experiences and job satisfaction highlight the need for practical interventions to promote the use of deep acting among nurses.Originality/valueThis study confirms the mediating role of emotions in the relationship between emotional labor and job satisfaction in the nursing field. It encourages future research to pay greater attention to nurses’ emotions themselves along with emotional labor. Findings add an interdisciplinary aspect to research on nursing by assimilating psychological perspectives of emotion and emotion management research to this field.
The motivating power of gamification
Authors: Lier Liesa Marie , Breuer Christopher 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
An increasing number of firms have implemented workplace health promotion programmes (WHPPs). However, such programmes can only be effective and economically viable if employees actually engage. In an effort to uncover ways to promote employee engagement and, hence, WHPP effectiveness, the purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the inclusion of a gamification element in a worksite health promotion programme on health outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
Real-life data from a WHPP provider firm were analysed. Linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of participating in a step challenge on average daily step count and the likelihood of reaching the widely communicated goal of taking at least 10,000 steps per day.

Findings
It was found that the inclusion of gamification elements was significantly positively related to physical activity outcomes: employees who participated in the step challenge took considerably more steps than employees who did not participate (β=1,139.36, p<0.005). Participation increased the likelihood of fulfilling the recommended goal of 10,000 steps per day significantly vs non-participants (β=1.81, p=0.005). Finally, the results indicate that challenge participation was associated with a considerably greater increase in steps for men than for women.

Originality/value
This research advances the scientific understanding of the modern types of WHPPs that build on digital solutions and gamification. As an increasing number of firms face the challenge of designing a programme that actually works, the finding that the inclusion of gamification considerably increases programme effectiveness in terms of health outcomes is highly valuable.

Authors: Hsiao Chun-Hua , Chang Jung Jung , Wu Pi-Chu , Tang Kai-Yu 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose an innovative service model regarding the public library’s pilot project in Taiwan – Borrowing Books from Convenience Stores (BBCS). The proposed model presents a comprehensive evaluation of patrons to enhance readers’ intention to adopt this innovative library service.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the users of the public library and convenience stores in Taiwan. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.FindingsThe main findings of this study make both theoretical and practical contributions. First, this study explores the library’s extending service to convenience stores, and proposes an integrated BBCS model for the library’s innovative service. Second, the identification of influential factors, such as control influence, social interaction and perceived values of convenience, contributes to a marketing strategy for this innovative service offered by the library. Third, gender differences in some relationships of influential factors on BBCS use intention were identified.Originality/valueAlthough many studies have investigated the adoption of self-service technology, this paper is the very first attempt to explore the use of the innovative library service in convenience stores. Based on several theories, an integrated model for users’ intention to use BBCS is proposed in this study. The authors also recommend various gender-specific strategies of BBCS service.
Diversity and future of work: inequality abound or opportunities for all?
Authors: Ozkazanc-Pan Banu 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine new directions for diversity scholarship in the context of future of work or advanced technological shifts that are impacting organizations and society. It proposes that both new opportunities and challenges are likely to emerge for individuals and offers considerations around ethics, inequalities and global dimensions as relevant conversations within this domain.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides an overview of new technological advances in the domains of artificial intelligence, automation and the gig economy. It then layers considerations related to diversity within this context, focusing on issues of relevance to mainstream, critical and transnational traditions within diversity scholarship.FindingsIt is likely that technological shifts will impact several domains of diversity scholarship including how we define “diversity,” and the value and appropriateness of using advanced technologies to replace certain jobs that are predominantly held by underrepresented groups. Furthermore, the paper outlines ways in which bias, ethical considerations and emergent digital inequalities will become important conversations within diversity research in the context of future of work.Originality/valueThis paper brings together diversity scholarship and future of work conversations in assessing the ways such research and trends will intersect and provides insights about future directions that diversity-focused research should take to address and understand the consequences of rapid technological advances for inclusion.
Radical politics, intersectionality and leadership for diversity in organizations
Authors: Pullen Alison , Rhodes Carl , McEwen Celina , Liu Helena 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore leadership for diversity informed by intersectionality and radical politics. Surfacing the political character of intersectionality, the authors suggest that a leadership for diversity imbued with a commitment to political action is essential for the progress towards equality.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing lessons from the grassroots, political organizing of the black and Indigenous activist groups Combahee River Collective and Idle No More, the authors explore how these groups relied on feminist alliances to address social justice issues. Learning from their focus on intersectionality, the authors consider the role of politically engaged leadership in advancing diversity and equality in organizations.

Findings
The paper finds that leadership for diversity can be developed by shifting towards a more radical and transversal politics that challenges social and political structures that enable intersectionality or interlocking oppressions. This challenge relies on critical alliances negotiated across multiple intellectual, social and political positions and enacted through flexible solidarity to foster a collective ethical responsibility and social change. These forms of alliance-based praxis are important for advancing leadership for diversity.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to studies of leadership and critical diversity studies by articulating an alliance-based praxis for leadership underpinned by intersectionality, radical democracy and transversal politics.
The contingent effect of political ties on post-entry performance
Authors: Ma Jieqiong , Yang Jie , Song Ying 
Published: January 2020

PurposePolitical ties are critical for multinational enterprises’ (MNE) survival and success. However, the effect of political ties is not monotonic. The purpose of this paper is to look into the contingent effect of political ties on MNEs’ post-entry performance.Design/methodology/approachBased on survey data collected from 416 foreign subsidiaries operating in China, which was combined with several secondary data sources, this study examined the three-way interaction of political ties, entry mode and industry restriction.FindingsThe findings support the hypotheses that the impact of political ties on firm performance is contingent on firms’ ownership-based entry modes and industry restriction. In particular, the impact of political ties is stronger for joint ventures (JV) in less restricted industries and wholly owned subsidiaries (WOS) in more restricted industries.Practical implicationsPolitical ties have different effects on WOS and JV. While in general political ties have a stronger impact for JV than for WOS, their impacts on both parties vary on industry restriction. Managers should consider ownership structure as well as industry restriction when making non-market strategies and decisions.Originality/valueBy analyzing the impacts of intra-organizational and market environmental factors, this study provides a fine-grained view of foreign firms’ non-market strategy in China from a post-entry performance perspective.

Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper was to develop a predictor model for an online nutrition course on sugar reduction. The proposed model is based on health knowledge, healthy behavior, social support, self-efficacy, attitude and the health belief model in relation to people’s behavior within a Facebook group. Subsequently, the model can be used to design a robust online training course for human resources, thereby reducing the training costs which managers have experienced as being expensive.Design/methodology/approachA single pre-post experimental group design was used. Pre and post data were collected from 100 Facebook users using an online questionnaire, within a three-week intervention.FindingsThe results show a significant difference between pre- and post-test scores of health knowledge and healthy behavior, indicating an effective intervention. In addition, perceived barriers, attitude, self-efficacy and emotional support were significant predictors of the healthy behavior model, predicting 70 percent of healthy behavior. However, knowledge had no significant relationship with any of the three dependent variables (self-efficacy, attitude and healthy behavior) proposed.Practical implicationsThis model has proved to be an effective intervention which can be used in online training of human resources, because the content of the training is known from the predictor model, thereby greatly reducing the training cost, since everything is done online. Moreover, the provided model and predictors show that the content to be delivered in the training program is not knowledge but perceived barriers, attitude, self-efficacy and emotional support.Originality/valueThis study is one of the first to propose an integrative model that suggests attitude and self-efficacy as key predictors of healthy behavior whereas knowledge is not.
HowThe Waste Landfurthers an understanding of sustainable property management
Authors: Brown Alistair 
Published: January 2020

PurposeUsing the theory of sensibility, the purpose of this paper is to analyze how T.S. Eliot’sThe Waste Landfurthers our understanding of sustainable property management.Design/methodology/approachInter-connected indicators of environmental performance disclosures (EPD) and epistemological-based aesthetic environmental accounts (EBAEA) are used to textually analyzeThe Waste Land’sheightening of sustainable property management.FindingsThe results of the study show that the level of EPD ofThe Waste Landwas 80 per cent, while the level ofThe Waste Land’sEBAEA was 100 per cent. In terms of sustainable property management, the images of sustainable property management that permeateThe Waste Landfurthers our understanding of the apprehension of urban living, the intensification of assets and materials, the intrusiveness of city landmarks, the ephemeralness of the profit and loss, the inconstancy of water and the tension of torrid landscapes.Research limitations/implicationsA research implication arising from the results of the study is that the property-poetry nexus may actualize new possibilities for discerning and imagining sustainable property management.Practical implicationsThe results of the study offer fruitful paths for understanding sustainability endeavour for planners, property managers, valuers, occupiers, accountants and developers.Social implicationsThe Waste Land’scomplex, multi-vocal, figurative, seemingly ambiguous lines render a sophisticated form of sustainable property scholarship that shapes aesthetic environmental accounts.Originality/valueThe study’s originality rests in its methodological approach to identify, interpret and understand sustainable property management in a modernist poem.
Scale development and construct clarification of change recipient proactivity
Authors: Ahmad Ahmad Bayiz , Liu Bangcheng , Butt Atif Saleem 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a standardized, psychometrically sound instrument for the emerging construct of change recipient proactivity (CRP), using a deductive approach.Design/methodology/approachUsing a systematic item-development framework as a guide (i.e. item generation, questionnaire administration, item reduction and scale evaluation) and based on a sample of 414 white-collar employees, this paper discusses the development and validation of an instrument that can be used to measure change recipient’s proactive behavioral responses to planned change efforts.FindingsResults suggest that our proposed CRP scale is internally consistent (reliable) and valid in that it is conceptually distinct from, yet empirically correlated with neighboring constructs such as affective commitment to change, readiness for change and proactive personality.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings illustrate that change recipients can demonstrate proactive behaviors in response to change efforts. However, this study’s contribution is only a first step, requiring further theoretical and methodological refinement of the scale in different contexts.Originality/valueThe deductive nature of our study resulted in a comprehensive and domain-specific scale assessing recipients’ proactive responses to organizational change efforts. This opens doors to empirical studies on examining the conditions under which change recipients “may” step outside the boundaries of passivity to respond positively and proactivity to organizational change efforts.
Understanding employees’ intrapreneurial behavior: a case study
Authors: Badoiu Georgiana-Alexandra , Segarra-Ciprés Mercedes , Escrig-Tena Ana B. 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper insight into the organizational factors and personal motivations of intrapreneurs that may foster intrapreneurial behaviors of employees in a new technology-based firm (NTBF).Design/methodology/approachThe paper takes a qualitative approach to explore organizational and individual antecedents of employees’ intrapreneurial behavior. A single case study was conducted on the basis of semi-structured interviews with the founders and top managers of the firm and with intrapreneurial employees.FindingsResults show that intrapreneurial projects may arise in firms whose top managers support corporate entrepreneurship (CE) in a non-active manner. Intrapreneurial behaviors of employees can emerge despite the lack of time and limited resources available for undertaking projects. Moreover, work discretion and mutual confidence and the quality of the relationship between employees and top managers are the most valued factors for intrapreneurs.Practical implicationsBased on the intrapreneurial projects studied, this paper helps to contextualize intrapreneurs’ perception of organizational support and the personal motivations for leading projects within an NTBF.Originality/valueTraditionally, the literature has mainly focused on the top-down implementation of entrepreneurial projects within large firms. This paper contributes to the understanding of the combination of firm- and individual-level factors that facilitate intrapreneurial behaviors of employees. It also illustrates the contextual conditions and the firms’ orientation on CE within an NTBF.
Retracted: Molecular insight into the selective binding between human telomere G‐quadruplex and a negatively charged stabilizer

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe single‐strand human telomere overhang forms intramolecular high‐order structures named G‐quadruplex (G4) under physiological conditions. Telomere G4 stabilization prevents telomere lengthening by telomerase in cancer cells representing a promising strategy in cancer therapy. Using molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, specific binding of the anionic phthalocyanine 3,4ʹ,4ʹʹ,4ʹʹʹ‐tetrasulfonic acid (APC) to the human hybrid (3 + 1) G4s was investigated at the atomic level. We found that APC preferred the end‐stacking binding with the telomere hybrid type II (hybrid‐II) G4 as compared to the groove binding with the hybrid type I (hybrid‐I) G4 remarkable stabilizing effect and more favourable binding free energies. Analysis of non‐covalent interaction and decomposition of the binding free energy revealed that van der Waals interaction played a leading role in the binding of APC and telomere hybrid G4s. These findings provide evidence for the first time to shed light on the designs of selective telomere G4 stabilizers.
Beyond Design for Manufacture: A Design Innovation Framework
Authors: Na Jea Hoo , Choi Youngok , Harrison David 
Published: January 2020

Despite the advantages of using design on a larger scale than simply the product level, many manufacturing companies can't see their way to design as a strategy or a way to improve business management. A framework can help them view the big picture from a design innovation standpoint.Manufacturing firms that hope to achieve innovation—in their products, in their processes, and in their own organizations—can use this framework to identify opportunities, prioritize problem‐solving, and work toward systematic improvement.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe human brain can automatically detect sound changes. Previous studies have reported that rare sounds presented within a sequence of repetitive sounds elicit the mismatch negativity (MMN) in the absence of attention in the latency range of 100–250 ms. On the other hand, a previous study discovered that occasional changes in sound location enhance the middle latency response (MLR) elicited in the latency range of 10–50 ms. Several studies have reported an increase in the amplitude of the MLR within the frame of oddball paradigms such as frequency and location changes. However, few studies have been conducted on paradigms employing a duration change. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether the peak amplitudes of the MLR components are enhanced by a change in duration. Twenty healthy Japanese men (age: 23.9 ± 2.9 years) participated in the present study. We used an oddball paradigm that contained standard stimuli with a duration of 10 ms and deviant stimuli with a duration of 5 ms. The peak amplitudes of the MLR for the deviant stimuli were then compared with those for the standard stimuli. No changes were observed in the peak amplitude of the MLR resulting from a duration change, whereas a definite MMN was elicited. The amplitude of the MLR was increased within the frame of oddball paradigms such as frequency and location changes. By contrast, the amplitude of the MLR was not changed within the duration change oddball paradigm that elicited the MMN.

Published: January 2020

AbstractPlant leaves play an important role in the diagnosis of plant diseases. Losses from such diseases can have a significant economic as well as environmental impact. Thus, examination of leaves into a healthy or infected carries substantial importance. An improved artificial plant optimization (IAPO) algorithm using machine learning has been introduced that identifies the plant diseases and categorize the leaves into healthy and infected on a private dataset of 236 images. Features are extracted from the images using histogram of oriented gradients (descriptor). The concepts of artificial plant optimization are then applied to study the features of healthy leaves using IAPO. A machine learning algorithm has been created to make the model adaptive with varied datasets. The degree of infection is eventually computed, and the leaves with infection greater than a certain calculated threshold are classified as infected leaves. The results show that IAPO can be used for classification of infected and healthy leaves and this algorithm can be generalized to solve problems in other domains as well. The proposed IAPO is also compared with other classification algorithms including k‐nearest neighbours, support vector machine, random forest and convolution neural network that show accuracies of 78.24%, 83.48%, 87.83%, and 91.26%, respectively, whereas IAPO shows quite accurate results in classification of leaves with an accuracy of 97.45% on training set and 95.0% accuracy on test set.
