Computational study of elliptic subsonic jet controlled by air tabs
Authors: Ramasamy Arun Prasad , Narendran Krishna , Selvaraj Ilakkiya , S Harhini , Thanigaiarasu Subramanian 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to present the mixing and decay characteristics of Mach 0.8 elliptic jet manipulated by air tabs, through numerical simulation.

Design/methodology/approach
The Air Tabs are secondary jets injected through two 1-mm diameter tubes, which are placed at the exit plane of the elliptic primary nozzle. Two air tab configurations are considered for the present study; in the first case, they are placed along the major axis, and in the second case along the minor axis of the elliptic nozzle exit. The air tab Mach numbers considered are 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0. The numerical simulations have been performed in ANSYS-CFX software using the k-e turbulence model.

Findings
The jet centerline (X) total pressure decay reveals that air tabs placed along the minor axis promote jet mixing more efficiently than those placed along the major axis. It is also observed that the air tabs along the minor axis provoke the jet to split into two parts thus resulting in faster spread in the perpendicular direction (Z). When compared against the uncontrolled jet, air tabs at Mach 1.0 placed along the minor axis produce 80% reduction in the potential core, whereas that along the major axis brings down the axis-switching location to 0.95 Deq from 3.7 Deq.

Practical implications
In aerospace applications, enhancing the mixing between fuel and air would result in better combustion efficiency, faster exhaust jet mixing with ambient, which in turn result in reduced jet acoustics as well as infrared signature, thereby promotes environmental sustainability.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there has not been a thorough analysis of the effects of air tabs on the mixing and decay characteristics of elliptic Mach 0.8 jet.

Authors: KC Abhishek , Senaratne Sepani , Perera Srinath , Nanayakkara Samudaya 
Published: December 2024

PurposeNeed of circular economy (ce) practices for net-zero and sustainability in construction sector is well known, and thus the need for information flow between current and potential users about materials and processes. Material passports (MPs) are the tool for this information flow. This study aims to examine the research trend about digitalisation and MPs in construction, explore the application of digital technologies (DTs) for information management required for MPs and provide further research directions.Design/methodology/approachSystematic search and review of literature was conducted adopting both qualitative and quantitative approach for analysis. Firstly, quantitative bibliometric analysis of 201 papers was conducted to get the context from ongoing research around the area and qualitative content and thematic analysis of selected 14 papers were then done to further explore the literature.FindingsBibliometric analysis suggested building information modelling (BIM) as the most widely studied topic for digitalisation and MPs, which has been studied together with other DTs, whereas blockchain is niched within supply chain and waste management. Qualitative review observed BIM as the most prevalent technology, providing platform for information generation and management for MPs, and most other DTs are applicable mostly for information generation. Artificial intelligence (AI) is useful for information generation, but more suiting for information analysis. Blockchain, on the other hand, is for decentralised and reliable information management.Originality/valueThis study has tried to explore the digitalisation for circularity in construction with focus on information management for MPs. As the ce in construction boils down to information flow and MPs, this study provides the idea about possible applications of DTs for MPs and suggests further research directions for development and use of MPs for ce in construction.
Understanding the influence of cloud-based information and communication technology on supply chain resilience
Authors: Gonul Kochan Cigdem , Nowicki David , Glassburner Aaron 
Published: December 2024

PurposeIn today’s turbulent business environment, firms continually turn to technology as a panacea for supply chain resilience and performance problems. This article seeks to understand if information and communication technology (ICT) platforms, specifically cloud-based platforms, differ in their ability to enable supply chain resilience and operational performance.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical survey data was gathered, and a partial least squares structural equation model was performed on responses from 174 logistics and supply chain operations managers. A multigroup analysis compared the structural model measures of cloud-based and non-cloud-based platforms.FindingsThis research provides evidence that supply chain resilience and performance are agnostic of the ICT platform type and deeply rooted in the relational antecedents of cooperation and coordination. Tangentially, this study confirms concepts of coordination and cooperation supported by ICT are antecedents to the robustness and agility of supply chains. Moreover, empirical evidence also reveals that supply chain robustness mediates the relationships between supply chain agility, coordination and cooperation.Practical implicationsWhile firms continually seek technological solutions to bolster the resilience of their supply chains, we show that they should focus on developing the social elements of supply chain partnerships.Originality/valueThis study’s examination of the influence of ICT on supply chain resilience and performance contributes to the growing body of empirical analysis in the literature. Through its theoretical lens, this article deepens the understanding of analyzing supply chain resilience and performance measures between firms utilizing different ICT platforms.

The developed six-dimensional scale offers a structured framework to quantify positive interactions among tourists, previously unexplored in the literature.

Practical implications
This study significantly contributes to the field of tourism experience by enriching the literature on t2t interaction and value co-creation. Moreover, it provides valuable conceptual, practical and instructive insights for service design and administration within the tourism industry. These insights potentially enhance the overall tourist experience and facilitate more meaningful interactions among tourists, thereby contributing positively to the tourism sector.

Originality/value
The research breaks new ground by shifting the focus from tourist-service provider interactions to productive relationships among tourists. It introduces a pioneering six-dimensional scale, quantifying positive t2t value co-creation. Concentrating on Indian tourists, this study offers unique cultural insights. Methodologically rigorous and practically impactful, it clarifies conceptual ambiguities laying the foundation for nuanced research in understanding tourist interactions and value co-creation.
Examining the impact of co-workers’ sexism on citizenship behaviors and performance outcomes: the moderating role of leaders’ gender
Authors: Xiu Lin , Ren Yufei , Lv Feng , Lange Thomas , Liang Xin 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of coworkers’ sexist views on individual citizenship behaviors and performance outcomes and explores how this relationship is affected by the presence of female managers.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on diversity management literature and gendered organizational theory, the study analyzes data from 2,166 employees and 141 store managers in an international fast-food chain as well as archival work-unit-level information on performance.FindingsThe results support the hypothesis that peers’ sexist views are negatively associated with employees’ citizenship behavior and performance outcomes. Work units with members holding such views are less likely to achieve performance goals, and individuals who work with peers who hold gender inequality views are less likely to engage in citizenship behaviors. This relationship is particularly pronounced in units managed by male managers.Research limitations/implicationsOur study recognizes the complex and multifaceted nature of gender dynamics in organizations and provides insights into the ways in which these dynamics impact organizational outcomes.Practical implicationsThe study’s findings have significant implications for organizational policies and practices, specifically in terms of promoting gender equality and fostering more inclusive work environments through well-designed interventions.Originality/valueThis study is grounded in the gendered organizational theory, which highlights the interplay between gender, gender views and the relational dynamics of psychological, cultural and social dimensions operated within organizations. By examining how gender inequality views among coworkers affect perceived support, citizenship behaviors and performance outcomes, we contribute to the growing body of research in this area.
Anti-public sector bias or pro-public sector preference: how does the public assess the public sector? Evidence from China
Authors: Gao Xuede , Shen Xiyun , Wang Qian 
Published: December 2024

PurposeAlthough a growing body of research has found evidence of anti-public sector bias – a negative stereotype that the performance of the public sector is worse than that of the private sector, whether this phenomenon is universal across situations is still an unknown topic to be further discussed. The purpose of this study is to examine how citizens assess the public sector in Chinese context, as well as the source and deep logic of this evaluation.Design/methodology/approachThrough two survey experiments (N = 1,375), this paper empirically explores how citizens evaluate the public sector in the Chinese context and the cross-context stability of this attitude. At the same time, two focus group interviews (N = 12) are used to deeply analyze the source and internal logic of this attitude.FindingsIn China, there is no anti-public sector bias in the public evaluation of the public sector. On the contrary, there is a certain degree of pro-public sector preference, that is, the public has a more positive view of the public sector than the private sector. We also find that this preference has strong cross-context stability, which will not be affected by different performance information or failure public events with different severity. The study also finds that Chinese citizens' preference for the public sector is not only the product of traditional political culture, but also the result of authoritarian propaganda. More importantly, it is a personal rational choice based on institutional performance.Originality/valueThis study provides a good example to explore how the public views the public sector in countries where the proportion of public sector supply far exceeds that of non-public sector. The results increase the academic understanding of how citizens assess the public sector and why this evaluation comes into being. The results enlighten significance for future theoretical research on the main body of public service providers and their performance views. It also provides micro-evidence of behavioral public performance for cross-sectoral comparison between public sector and private sector.
A scenario-based framework for strategic inspection decision-making in high-volume production environments
Authors: Muffato Reis Angélica , Verna Elisa , Costa Lino , Sousa Sérgio Dinis , Galetto Maurizio 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study bridges the gap in quality control strategies for high-volume production by balancing the cost and effectiveness of inspection strategies. Using the cost of quality (CoQ) to manage cost and external failures (EF) to gauge effectiveness, this research introduces an innovative inspection strategy chart that serves as a decision-making tool for optimizing inspection processes.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents a scenario-based framework designed to support strategic decision-making in inspection processes by integrating empirical data analysis with inspection strategy charts. This approach allows for a dynamic assessment and visualization of the relationship between CoQ and EF, facilitating more informed decision-making in quality management. Notably, it contrasts the traditional models with a novel approach that more accurately captures the uncertainty and correlation among key quality indicators, showcasing its potential for more refined decision-making in quality management.FindingsApplication of the framework illustrates its effectiveness in offering a nuanced understanding of the cost implications and effectiveness of various quality control strategies. This facilitates enhanced strategic decision-making, optimizing inspection processes and reducing external failures in high-volume production settings.Research limitations/implicationsThe study focuses on a single industry case study, limiting the generalizability of findings across different high-volume production contexts. Future research could explore the framework’s applicability in other sectors and refine the model based on additional empirical data.Originality/valueThe research introduces a versatile framework that navigates the unique challenges of high-volume manufacturing environments. Diverging from models optimized for low-volume settings, this approach provides a valuable tool for adapting inspection strategies to complex production demands, marking a significant contribution to quality management and control literature.

Temporal orientations in human agency: a case of homecare practitioners as mobile phone users
Authors: Saari Eveliina , Koskela Inka , Känsälä Marja 
Published: December 2024

PurposeIn Nordic societies, the use of mobile phones for record-keeping during homecare visits has become an unquestioned routine. Care practitioners’ agency with these technologies has been explored mainly as a situationally constrained activity, neglecting their long-term orientations. Our empirical contribution is to explore care practitioners’ agentic relations to technology in a more nuanced way by including both dimensions. The theoretical contribution is to show synergy between temporal conceptualizations in theories of human agency and technology-in-practice, which highlight human agency as deliberation between situational and long-term temporal orientations.Design/methodology/approachSeven Finnish care practitioners were interviewed, and their entire work shifts were observed, consisting altogether 48 video-recorded homecare visits. The analysis of the ethnographic material was focused on situational and long-term temporal orientations of the care practitioners related to technologizing care.FindingsCare practitioners in old age care approached technology use with three different kinds of temporal orientations: adapting – preferring to remain in the present; opposing – longing for the past; and engaging – viewing the technologization of old age care as positive for the future.Practical implicationsThe situational usability of technology is not the only problem to be solved when technology is adopted for human-centred care; longer-term visions of how care and care work will change should also be voiced in healthcare organizations.Originality/valueTemporal orientations may explain how and why care practitioners either just adapt to technology-use in care or act as change agents transforming both technologies and care.
Innovation capability and R&D performance of organizations: moderating role of industry–academic knowledge transfer
Authors: Kumar Vinod , Kumar Sachin , Chaudhuri Ranjan , Chatterjee Sheshadri , Vrontis Demetris , Rezaee Vessal Saeedeh 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine how an organization’s innovation capability could influence research and development (R&D) performance. It also investigates if industry–academic knowledge transfer has a moderating relationship between organizational innovation capability and exploration and exploitative innovation in improving the R&D performance of the organizations.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the literature and dynamic capability view, a conceptual model was developed and then validated using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling technique considering 387 responses from academicians and industry personnel.

Findings
The study found that industry–academic knowledge transfer has a significant moderating impact toward improving innovation capability, organizations’ R&D performance and exploration innovation. However, it has an insignificant moderating impact on improving innovation capability and exploitative innovation.

Practical implications
Organizational innovation capability is characterized by both exploratory and exploitative innovation. Both types of innovation support the R&D performance of an organization. Also, organizations that closely work with academic institutions could gain significant R&D knowledge from academic expertise. This study provides food for thought for the academic community as well as industry policymakers.

Originality/value
There are significant opportunities for academic institutions to gain practical knowledge from industry which can help them to accelerate their R&D activities. However, transferring knowledge between industry and academia has challenges related to intellectual property, patents and so on. Not much research has been conducted in this area. Thus, the proposed research model is unique and adds to the existing literature.

Authors: Owen Joel , Biggart Laura , Fisher Paul , Figueredo Analtina , Al-Rousi Sharif , Colvin-Jarvis James , Williamson Euan , Sanderson Kristy 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This systematic review aims to identify what works for psychological interventions or teaching strategies designed to improve wellbeing in psychological therapy trainees (PTTs).

Design/methodology/approach
A systematic review was conducted in keeping with best-practice guidelines. The protocol for the review was registered prospectively on PROSPERO.

Findings
Seventy studies were included in the review. The balance of evidence across quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies cautiously suggests that interventions designed to improve PTT wellbeing may be of value. Novel findings regarding barriers and facilitators of successful intervention were identified. Particularly notable in this regard was the finding that providing trainees with a degree of choice or control over elements of the intervention appeared to be an important facilitator of success. Importantly, however, the review identified a number of methodological weaknesses in the literature, undermining the certainty of findings. More high-quality research is needed to answer the questions of the review decisively.

Practical implications
Evidence tentatively suggests that interventions to support trainee wellbeing are often received well by trainees and are frequently perceived by trainees as beneficial. Providing trainees with some degree of choice or control regarding how to engage with wellbeing interventions during training may be important.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first review to systematically identify and synthesise findings on this important topic.
The effects of social procurement policy on companies in the construction industry: an international comparison of Australia and Scotland
Authors: Loosemore Martin , Roy Michael J. , Suchowerska Roksolana , Spiesova Anna , Barraket Josephine 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to compare the effects of social procurement policies on companies in the Victorian and Scottish construction industries. Scotland and Victoria have led the way in the recent revival of social procurement.

Design/methodology/approach
Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 27 organisations and 28 participants who have experience of implementing social procurement policies into the construction industries of both jurisdictions.

Findings
Findings contribute important new comparative insights from multiple stakeholder perspectives, into the effects of social procurement policies on firms operating in the construction industries of the two jurisdictions. Findings indicate an increasing awareness of social procurement in the construction industries of both Scotland and Victoria. However, differences in policy design determine the nature and extent of this awareness, the level of empowerment felt by actors and the social impact these new policies have in practice. It is concluded that to maximise the social impact of social procurement policies into major industries like construction, policymakers need to carefully consider supply-side limitations, the political context into which social procurement is being implemented and the way they prescribe what types of social value they want to create and for whom.

Social implications
Successful social procurement policy implementation into the construction industry can have significant positive social implications for the communities in which the industry builds due to the large numbers of people it employs and its large multiplier effect into the wider economy.

Originality/value
By investigating the effects of social procurement policies on a cross-section of organisations from across the construction industry supply chain, this international study, contributes new comparative insights to the emerging bodies of research on the impact of public procurement on companies in major industries like construction.
