The effects of emotional self-regulation, ethical evaluations and judgments on customer food waste reduction behaviors in restaurants
Authors: Nguyen Thi Phuong Linh 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study aimed to (1) examine the impact of restaurant customers’ emotional self-regulation on ethical evaluations and judgments on their food waste reduction behaviors and (2) explore the influence of ethical judgments and evaluations on food waste reduction behaviors in restaurants.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a face-to-face survey at 20 restaurants in three major cities in Vietnam, namely Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. Responses from 870 restaurant customers were used to analyze the data. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the path effects.FindingsBased on the model of Hunt and Vitell (1986), this study incorporates the role assessment of emotional self-regulation, deontological and teleological evaluation into the research model to examine consumers’ ethical judgments and ethical behaviors as food waste reduction behaviors. All hypotheses were accepted with the study’s data. From there, the author makes some implications for state management agencies and businesses in promoting consumers’ food waste reduction behaviors.Practical implicationsSeveral recommendations should be made based on the results of the study. First, there is a need for guidelines for people to regulate emotions to match ethical consumption decisions, such as increasing the amount of study time for subjects on ethics and emotion management, teaching and promoting ethical values and standards as well as discussing ethical perspectives on food waste. Second, governments and businesses need to promote communication about the consequences of food waste on television, radio, newspapers and social networks, should have anti-food waste posters and should even popularize charging for cases of ordering or taking food that is beyond personal needs.Originality/valueFirst, this is believed to be the first study to investigate the role of emotions on ethical consumption decisions in general and food waste reduction in particular. Second, this study is one of the few studies that examine the influence of deontological evaluation, teleological evaluation and ethical judgments on food waste reduction behaviors (reduce, reuse and recycle). Finally, this is one of the few studies that comprehensively examines food waste reduction behaviors, including reduce, reuse and recycle.
Agility and internal integration as a catalyst to the organizational recovery in SMEs: the mediating role of resilience
Authors: Loh Kok Beng , Tan Cheng Ling 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis research aims to determine if agility and internal integration constitute direct antecedents to resilience and organizational recovery in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) manufacturing. This study is based on the resource-based view in developing the framework. The literature-based review is drawn up to link internal integration and agile and resilient practices to its recovery.Design/methodology/approachThe study proposes a random sampling technique to draw the samples from Malaysian SME manufacturing firms. A total of 110 samples were collected and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results confirmed that agility and internal integration positively affect resilient directly and indirectly. A higher level of agility, internal integration and resilience also improves organizational recovery.Originality/valueThe study underlines that organizational strategies should be designed with resilience as agility and internal integration alone are inadequate for organizations to attain recovery and competitive advantage. The results are practical since the proposed structural model employs empirical data.
Building organizational agility through digital transformation: a configurational approach in SMEs
Authors: Pelletier Claudia , L'Écuyer François , Raymond Louis 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study adopts a capability-based view to investigate the attainment of organizational agility in manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It first explores how these firms mobilize different types of operational and dynamic information technology (IT) capabilities to achieve a high level of agility through their digital transformation. In return, it also reveals opposite paths, i.e. those leading to its absence.Design/methodology/approachThe research method involves a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) of 65 Canadian manufacturing SMEs. Through necessity and sufficiency condition analysis procedures, this approach emphasizes the complexity of the digital transformation processes by revealing different sets (i.e. configurations) of what enable, or inhibit, organizational agility in these firms.FindingsThe findings indicate that manufacturing SMEs need to align at least one dynamic IT capability (sensing, learning, coordinating or integrating) and one operational IT capability (IT management, IT infrastructure or e-business) to be highly agile. In contrast, other findings indicate that there are suboptimal combinations of IT capabilities, which result in an absence of agility.Originality/valueThis study offers a deeper understanding of the complex interaction of IT capabilities in SMEs seeking greater agility in their business activities. Its contributions provide insights on the mobilization of a range of capabilities, both complementary and interdependent, to respond to changing conditions in their internal and external environments. These actionable findings can help various actors in the digital development of SMEs to design and implement effective IT strategies and public policies.
The phantom information booth: migrant and sedentary tertiary students’ tactics in the face of suspect information on social media
Authors: Bahl Rashika , McKay Dana , Chang Shanton , Buchanan George , Cheong Marc 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe problem of misinformation is one that has been well-explored in the literature. While researchers often study tertiary student behaviors, they do not distinguish between student groups – such as those who have lived in a country their whole lives versus those who moved to the country. Further, literature tends to focus broadly on misinformation, and malinformation is an understudied area. The study aims to address these gaps.Design/methodology/approachData was gathered using a survey instrument deployed as part of a larger study. Students were presented with two posts: one containing malinformation and one containing misinformation. They were asked how they would evaluate the posts. There were 193 respondents. Responses were analyzed using general inductive analysis. In completing the analysis, we differentiated between migrant and sedentary student groups.FindingsFindings indicate that there are qualitative differences in how different groups evaluate suspect information and qualitative differences in how students approach misinformation and malinformation. Students are more accepting of malinformation than misinformation. Migrant students are less prone to making trust/distrust decisions and instead more prone to ambivalence. They are also more likely to seek out additional information in the face of misinformation compared to sedentary counterparts.Originality/valueFindings enhance our understanding of differences in migrant and sedentary students’ experiences with suspect information and provide insights on malinformation experiences which is an underexplored area of research.

Authors: Chugh Akriti , Gera Shikha , Mozumder Saleh Ahmed , Perumandla Swamy , Bhattacharyya Som Sekhar 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this research study is to recognize the significance of entrepreneurial psychology. This was achieved by assessing the relationship between the dark personality traits and entrepreneurial intention (EI). This study examined the interrelationship between dual narcissism traits and EI. The authors specifically focused on Narcissistic Admiration (NA) and Narcissistic Rivalry (NR), with particular emphasis on the mediating role of Psychological Empowerment (PE).

Design/methodology/approach
This study used a descriptive quantitative research approach to investigate the research model and to test the hypothesis. Data collection involved administering structured questionnaires with nonprobability sampling to obtain data from 340 incubated entrepreneurs. Researchers used partial least squares structured equation modeling for data analysis.

Findings
The study findings indicated that NA had a significant impact on both PE and EI, whereas NR substantially impacted PE but not on EI. Furthermore, the results revealed that PE served as a partial mediator between NA and EI, whereas PE acted as a full mediator between NR and EI.

Research limitations/implications
This study contributed to the literature on EI. This study examined the theoretical interrelationship between dual narcissism, specifically NA and NR, with EI while emphasizing the mediating role of PE.

Practical implications
As an emerging nation, India requires more entrepreneurs and more examples of successful entrepreneurship. This study insights would help entrepreneurs to manage their entrepreneurial ventures better. This would be realized by entrepreneurs with better comprehension of NA, NR and PE, which would finally enable the achievement of higher levels of EI.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study was one of the first empirical investigations that distinguished between the two aspects of narcissistic personality: admiration and rivalry. This demonstrated the differential impact on EI. This study made a valuable addition to the theoretical domain of entrepreneurial psychology. This was achieved by highlighting the important role of PE in the association between dual narcissism and the intent of potential entrepreneurs.
Determinants of market capitalization of listed firms: evidence from an emerging country
Authors: Phan Dinh Nguyen , To Thi Nhat Minh 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study investigates the determinants of the market capitalization of listed companies through evidence from an emerging country.Design/methodology/approachThis research employs the system generalized method of moments for a dataset of 7,608 observations from 687 Vietnamese listed firms.FindingsOur findings show that both external and internal factors affect market capitalization. Intellectual capital, sales growth, profit, leverage and crises are positively linked to market capitalization; meanwhile, foreign direct investment, inflation and gross domestic product negatively affect market capitalization. The negative effect of macrofactors reflects the fact that the macroeconomic environment can deteriorate investment values and then market capitalization. This implies that macroeconomic stability is very crucial for firms and financial stability. The COVID-19 and financial crisis have a moderating influence on market capitalization through sales growth, profitability and leverage. Unlike previous studies, we find that intellectual capital plays a very essential role regardless of whether there is a crisis or not. Therefore, firms should focus on intellectual capital to grow market capitalization sustainably.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature of market capitalization by investigating the determinants of market capitalization with a joint assessment of the financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have not yet been considered together in previous studies. It enriches the literature by investigating the moderating effect of COVID-19 and financial crisis on the relationships between some key determinants and market capitalization. Unlike previous studies, our study highlights the essential role of intellectual capital in enhancing market capitalization regardless of whether there is a crisis.
Academic self-initiated expatriates’ management in host transnational higher education institutions: motivations, perceived challenges and work performance
Authors: Tran Nguyen Hai Ngan , Amado Carla Alexandra da Encarnação Filipe , Santos Sérgio Pereira dos 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study aims to enhance sustainable global human capital management in transnational higher education (TNHE) by exploring the motivations of academic self-initiated expatriates (ASIEs) and the incentives for host institutions to attract international talent. Grounded in the international adjustment framework and the ability, motivation and opportunity (AMO) framework, it addresses the underexplored management of ASIEs within TNHE contexts, identifying factors that enhance their adjustment, motivation and performance.Design/methodology/approachUsing a qualitative research approach, the study employed predefined theoretical frameworks to conduct 22 in-depth interviews with both host institution managers and ASIEs in 11 TNHE programmes across Vietnam.FindingsThe study reveals significant gender imbalances among ASIEs, with most originating from non-English-speaking countries. Visa and work permit acquisition challenges are prominent for both ASIEs and host institutions. Although ASIEs’ qualifications are highly valued, adaptability proves to be a more decisive criterion for selection. Most participants reported job satisfaction; however, notable differences emerged regarding motivations, salary expectations, retention preferences, performance management and determinants of success in expatriate roles.Originality/valueThis study contributes to TNHE literature by providing tailored recommendations for sustaining ASIEs’ management practices. By extending the AMO framework to TNHE, this research offers actionable insights into the role of culturally tailored motivation- and opportunity-enhancing practices that can help mitigate ASIEs’ adaptation challenges. The findings underscore the need for targeted human resource management (HRM) policies that address the specific needs of ASIEs, aiming to strengthen ASIEs’ retention and institutional alignment.
Chatbot dynamics: trust, social presence and customer satisfaction in AI-driven services
Authors: Al-Oraini Badrea Saleh 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis study investigated the factors that influence customer satisfaction with AI-driven services by focusing on chatbot agents. The conceptual model included psychological and social factors, such as trust, perceived social presence, competence perception, social-oriented communication style, warmth perception, subjective norms and attachment anxiety.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative methodology was employed utilising a survey conducted among 525 consumers who interacted with chatbot services. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling (Smart-PLS 4.0) to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe study revealed that social-oriented communication, perceptions of competence and warmth, trust and subjective norms significantly enhanced customer satisfaction with chatbots. Trust was critical in fostering satisfaction, whereas perceived social presence and attachment anxiety had minimal impact. The findings suggest that despite the emphasis on social presence, its influence on satisfaction may depend on contextual factors that were not captured in this study.Originality/valueThis study extended the Technology Acceptance Model and Stereotype Content Model by integrating factors such as perceived social presence, trust, competence perception, social-oriented communication style, warmth perception, subjective norm and attachment anxiety. Challenging conventional assumptions on the role of social presence and attachment anxiety, the study provides new insights into the complex dynamics of human–chatbot interactions, offering practical implications for improving chatbot design and enhancing user experience that emphasise the importance of trust, competence and social-oriented communication in customer satisfaction.

Published: February 2025

PurposeArtificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to dramatically change the human approaches to work, and specifically to learning and development. While AI coaching can reduce costs and increase accessibility, it also presents both opportunities and threats to human coaches. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed research on the use of AI in coaching.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) method was used to search eight databases for articles produced up to March 2024. Data extraction was conducted, with Quality Assessment undertaken independently, in parallel, using two researchers and a third arbiter. The ROBINS-I tool was used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. A narrative synthesis of a total of 16 quantitative, qualitative or mixed-method studies covering n = 2312.FindingsThe SLR identified four key themes: Research design and AI integration, AI usefulness in coaching, impact of AI coaching and ethical considerations. The findings suggest that AI coaches can be effective, accepted, useful and match human coaches in competence for specific tasks.Practical implicationsAI coaching is a growing area of practice and research. This paper brings together the literature and identifies future research priorities and potential next steps in AI coach development.Originality/valueThe paper uses clinical research SLR methods applying these robust processes to the field of organisational research, to set a new standard through the use of a pre-determined research protocol, quality assessment and ROB, well providing a comprehensive literature review of AI coaching.
The network architecture and phylogeographic drivers of interactions between rodents and seed plants at continental scales

Published: February 2025

Abstract

Rodents are known to interact with seed plants in three different ways, including predation in situ, scatter hoarding and larder hoarding of seeds. These behaviours span a spectrum from mutualistic seed dispersal to predation, and they are related to species' and environmental characteristics.

We used interaction networks to evaluate the structure and drivers of rodent–seed plant interactions, including geography, phylogeny and traits at continental scales.

We constructed five aggregated networks, each representing a continent and containing three subnetworks defined by foraging behaviours, tested questions about their network structures and analysed the driving signals shaping rodent–seed plant interactions at network and species levels.

Rodent–seed plant networks varied across continents. We found most rodents exhibited a significant propensity for one foraging behaviour and detected significant modular structures in both aggregated networks and subnetworks. We detected significant co‐phylogenetic signals between rodents and seed plants. Distance matrix‐based regressions on interaction and module dissimilarity of rodents suggest geographical and phylogenetic forces are important in the assembly of rodent–seed plant networks. In addition, multiple species traits correlated with the roles of rodents within aggregated networks; however, the specific traits associated with these roles varied among interaction types.

Our results highlight that geography and phylogenetics are dominant in structuring the architecture of rodent–seed plant networks at continental scales and reveal challenges regarding spatial and taxa coverage in rodent–seed plant interactions.
TBA trading and security issuance in the agency MBS market
Authors: An Yu , Li Wei , Song Zhaogang 
Published: February 2025

AbstractIn addition to the standard individual‐security‐based specified pool (SP) contract, agency mortgage‐backed securities (MBS) are actively traded via the to‐be‐announced (TBA) contract that sets a uniform price for a cohort of heterogeneous securities. We provide empirical support for the economic impact of TBA trading on MBS issuers' security design: issuers pick low‐quality loans and pool them together into few TBA MBS. We then conduct a quantitative analysis and show that TBA‐trading‐induced strategic MBS design increases issuers' selling revenue by about 55% of the SP transaction costs. Finally, we show that smaller issuers are less able to package low‐quality loans separately from high‐quality ones and hence benefit less from TBA trading.
