Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore the distinctive dynamics of knowledge sharing, empowering leadership, psychological empowerment, innovative work behavior, and the moderating impact of kinship employee engagement in the creative industries of SMEs in Tana Toraja, Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach
Using structural equation modeling, this research analyzes quantitative data collected from 512 employees in creative industry SMEs.

Findings
Knowledge sharing is not found to be associated with psychological empowerment but is positively related to innovative work behavior. Empowering leadership is positively associated with both psychological empowerment and innovative work behavior. Psychological empowerment mediates the relationships between knowledge sharing and innovative work behavior, as well as between empowering leadership and innovative work behavior. Finally, kinship employee engagement moderates the relationship between psychological empowerment and innovative work behavior.

Research limitations/implications

You can never go “home” again: reflections on the emotional impact of home ethnography
Authors: Mazzetti Angela 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to highlight the complex and dynamic emotional journey for the returning home ethnographer.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, I reflect on my experiences of conducting a multimethod home ethnography undertaken between 2014 and 2018 in Northern Ireland, which explored the emotional legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict, euphemistically referred to as “The Troubles”. Throughout the process, I maintained textual and digital reflective journals to record my observations, thoughts and feelings. In reviewing these journals, I identified that they traced my evolving emotions as they related to my perceptions of home and homelessness. These journals have formed the basis of this paper.FindingsIn the paper, I give insights into the complex and evolving emotions I experienced throughout my home ethnography. In the early stages of my research, I explore the romanticism I experienced as I desperately tried to reconnect with my home. I then reflect on the ambivalent emotions I developed towards Northern Ireland as I spent more time there, simultaneously experiencing feelings of frustration and sometimes fear intertwined with a strong desire to fit in and belong there. Finally, I came to experience the bittersweet emotion, nostalgia, realising that one can never truly go home again because of the irreversibility of time.Originality/valueBy sharing my story, I aim to -contribute to the literature on home ethnography by providing new insights into the complex and evolving range of emotions encountered throughout the different stages of home ethnography. Additionally, I aim to contribute to the problematization of Alvesson’s (2009) definition of home ethnography by exploring the insider/outsider dichotomy for a returning ethnographer positioned within a deeply sectarian and segregated society. Finally, I provide insights into the long-term emotional impact of forced displacement due to the Northern Ireland conflict.
Game on! Antecedents and consequents of gamification in the workplace
Authors: Ribeiro e Silva Madalena , Carneiro Pinto Joana 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to test and integrative model that forecasts a range of attributes as both antecedents and consequents of using a gamification app.

Design/methodology/approach
The proposed model includes factors from the technology acceptance model (TAM) [perceived ease of use (PEU), perceived usefulness (PU) and attitude towards use] and the self-determination theory (autonomy, competence and relatedness) as determinants of gamification usage. Additionally, the authors examine how job engagement (vigour, dedication and absorption) and organizational commitment (affective and calculative/continuance) are influenced by psychological outcomes.

Findings
PU, ease of use and a positive attitude significantly predicted actual gamification usage. Effective gamification usage predicted increased work engagement (vigour and dedication) and organizational commitment (affective and calculative). PEU predicted vigour when mediated by actual usage; and, dedication, affective and calculative commitment were predicted by all variables from the TAM when mediated by actual usage.

Practical implications
Companies should carefully evaluate the pros and cons of gamification implementation and its influencing factors for optimal organizational and employee outcomes.

Originality/value
By addressing both the psychological needs of employees and the technological factors influencing gamification acceptance, the study provides a more holistic view of the determinants of gamification success in the workplace, which is a fresh perspective in both gamification research and organizational behaviour studies.

Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study examines the impact of crowdsourcing and open innovation (CSOI) in an emerging country like India. The study also investigates the moderating effects of technology support (TES) on improving firm performance and socio-economic conditions (SEC) in emerging countries.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical model has been developed with the help of stakeholder theory, dynamic capability view (DCV) and existing literature. Later, the theoretical model is validated using the partial least squares structural equation modelling technique to analyse 303 respondents from India.FindingsThe results of this study demonstrate that CSOI has a significant and positive role in the SEC in emerging countries, showing the emergence of an economy close to stakeholder capitalism or the Francesco Pope one. The study also finds that TES significantly moderates successful crowdsourcing practices and open innovation activities, influencing sustainability-related factors.Practical implicationsThis study shows that CSOI practices can influence the SECs in emerging countries by improving intermediate sustainability-related contextual issues like environmental, social and economic factors. This implies that CSOI are relevant in emerging countries to ensure the socio-economic growth of the society where so many constraints prevail.Originality/valueThis is a preliminary study on CSOI practices that firms in emerging countries follow. Using stakeholder theory and DCV to develop the unique conceptual model is essential to the body of knowledge. The inclusion of moderators like TES is a unique value proposition. Moreover, the proposed theoretical model has a high predictive power, making the model impactful and novel.

Authors: Ong Junie , Doshi Kinjal , Chew Keng Hao , Tay June H.M. , Foo Jonathan Jon-Chung 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Teaching is a demanding profession with educators often experiencing high levels of stress, leading to burnout and associated negative outcomes such as diminished job satisfaction and compromised health. Enhancing social and emotional competence through mindfulness practices has shown promise in mitigating these effects. However, the demanding schedules of teachers often impede regular mindfulness practice. Virtual reality (VR) technology offers a novel solution by providing an immersive environment conducive to mindfulness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of VR-assisted mindfulness practices among educational professionals.

Design/methodology/approach
This study evaluated the effectiveness of VR-assisted mindfulness practices among 35 educational professionals. Participants, recruited via email, completed pre- and post-intervention surveys and engaged in a 10-min mindfulness session using an Oculus Go headset, which simulated a 360-degree forest environment accompanied by audio-guided practice.

Findings
The findings suggest that VR can be an effective tool for facilitating mindfulness among teachers, offering a more accessible and engaging way to practice. This study underscores the importance of the quality of the virtual environment and relevant audio cues in enhancing mindfulness experiences. However, limitations include the small sample size and single-session intervention. Future research should explore larger-scale studies, long-term effects and improvements in VR hardware to enhance comfort.

Originality/value
VR technology has the potential to serve as an effective adjunct to traditional mindfulness training, helping educators manage stress and prevent burnout. These insights contribute to the growing literature on VR-assisted therapies and provide a foundation for future research.
Mental health literacy and help-seeking behaviour among adolescents in Kerala, India
Authors: Krishna K. K. , Scaria Lorane , Devassy Saju Madavanakadu 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Adolescence is a stage where genetic and environmental vulnerabilities can emerge as behavioural and emotional disorders. Early detection and seeking professional help are critical for these groups. This study aims to explore how mental health literacy (MHL) and other demographic variables impact help-seeking behaviour among adolescents in India.

Design/methodology/approach
This quantitative study used a structured questionnaire comprising demographic variables and standardized measurement tools to assess MHL, and help-seeking behaviour among adolescent pupils. Two hundred students aged 14 and above were randomly selected, with informed consent of themselves and their parents, from selected public and private schools in Ernakulam district, Kerala, India.

Findings
The mean age of the sample was 14.5 and 67% belonged to nuclear families with the majority being male (64%). The help-seeking attitude was negatively associated with the ability to recognize disorders among male students and positively associated with attitudes that promote recognition or appropriate help-seeking behaviour among female students. Additionally, hailing from extended families was associated with help-seeking behaviour among adolescent boys, but this relationship was not significant for girls.

Originality/value
The current study has identified that targeted interventions for male adolescents should focus on enhancing disorder recognition and leveraging family support, while those for female adolescents, the programs should promote positive attitudes towards recognizing mental health issues and help-seeking behaviours, integrating families and schools in the process.
Unraveling stock market crashes: insights from behavioral psychology
Authors: Song Garrison Hongyu 
Published: December 2024

PurposeA novel psychology-based framework is proposed to investigate the causes of stock market crashes.Design/methodology/approachOur approach builds upon the dynamic capital mobility model, expanding it by incorporating bidirectional relationships between investor sentiment and the average stock market price level. Investor sentiment is measured in terms of jumping rates of investors’ attitudes to the stock market in our model. The role and impact of investor sentiment on the average stock market price level are further clarified across various scenarios through simulations.FindingsOur model provides a direct quantification of the influence of investor sentiment on stock market price dynamics, shedding light on an alternative mechanism contributing to stock market crashes alongside fundamental changes. Our simulation results confirm that optimistic investor sentiment can mitigate the magnitude of negative stock market price movements triggered by adverse fundamental changes. Our model also indicates that the stock market price level may exhibit higher volatility than can be attributed to fundamental changes.Research limitations/implicationsOur study only briefly touches on the origins of shifts in investor sentiment by introducing a self-fulfilling feedback loop from the average stock market price level to investor sentiment. In future research, we will identify other key factors contributing to shifts in investor sentiment and subsequently analyze their influence on investor sentiment.Practical implicationsOur findings carry practical implications for recent and future movements in the US stock market. For instance, despite the Federal Reserve’s continuous interest rate hikes since March 2022, the overall optimistic investor sentiment has helped mitigate a severe downward movement in the stock market. However, in the absence of clear indications of a loose monetary policy, a rapid shift of investor sentiment from optimism to pessimism in the US stock market could potentially lead to a historic stock market crash.Originality/valueWhile the significance of investor sentiment in shaping stock market price dynamics, particularly regarding cross-sectional variations of stock returns, is widely recognized, quantifying directly its impact on the average stock market price level has remained a persistent challenge. Only very limited literature has delved into this subject, often hindered by a lack of theoretical support or yielding inconsistent results.
Foraging strategies by a frugivorous primate (Eulemur rubriventer) shape spatial patterns of seed dispersal
Authors: Tonos Jadelys , Jones Landon R. , Razafindratsima Onja , Dunham Amy E. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

The movement decisions of frugivores shape spatial patterns of seed deposition, with considerable impacts for plant individuals, populations and communities.

However, we have limited understanding of the mechanisms determining the foraging strategies behind the movements of frugivorous animals and their interaction with the landscape.

Using spatially explicit simulations we examined the movements and seed dispersal of red‐bellied lemur (Eulemur rubriventer) groups dispersing seeds of the tropical tree Harungana madagascariensis under four theorized foraging strategies.

These included scenarios in which frugivores move directly to the (1) most rewarding plant in the landscape, (2) nearest fruiting plant, or towards the most rewarding plant in the landscape, with stops at any fruiting plants encountered along the way according to a local attraction distance of (3) 10 m and (4) 20 m.

We then compared 12 metrics and data distributions for seed dispersal and movement patterns from these models to empirical observations.

Simulations of foraging strategies with directed movement towards highly rewarding resources (strategy 1) produced the longest seed dispersal distances and best matched observed patterns.

Observed data of lemur movements and directionality best matched results from three strategies, simulations towards highly rewarding resources without stops (strategy 1) and with either stops along the way with a 10 m (strategy 3) or 20 m (strategy 4) attraction distance.

Collectively, our results supported the strategies in which lemurs moved consistently towards the small number of trees that produced the most fruit in the landscape.

Our work supports incorporating a mechanistic understanding of animal foraging, movement behaviour and landscape patterns in fruit production for the prediction of seed movement. Explicit considerations of these mechanisms can improve our understanding of the maintenance and structure of diversity in plant communities, with implications for the conservation of forest ecosystems relying on animals for seed dispersal.

Antibacterial and antioxidant plant‐derived aldehydes: A new role as cross‐linking agents in biopolymer‐based food packaging films
Authors: Deng Hao , Zhang Wanli , Ramezan Yousef , Riahi Zohreh , Khan Ajahar , Huang Zhaoxian 
Published: December 2024

AbstractIn recent years, biopolymer‐based food packaging films have emerged as promising alternatives to petroleum‐based plastic food packaging films. Various additives have been explored to enhance their properties, and one such group of additives is natural plant aldehydes. These aldehydes are commonly employed to improve the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of biopolymer‐based food packaging films. However, their potential role as cross‐linking agents is often overlooked in these applications. This work introduces the properties of commonly used natural plant aldehydes in biopolymer‐based food packaging films. Specifically, it summarizes the effects of natural plant aldehydes such as cinnamaldehyde, vanillin, and others on the properties of biopolymer‐based food packaging films. Furthermore, the application of biopolymer‐based food packaging films functionalized with natural plant aldehydes in food preservation is discussed. This work concludes that various natural plant aldehydes serve as effective antimicrobial agents and antioxidants. They can not only physically interact with biopolymers but also undergo chemical cross‐linking reactions with some polymers through Schiff base reactions and Michael addition reactions, thereby further improving the comprehensive properties of the film.
