A conceptual framework for auditing the physical integrity of historical districts: case studies of Kerman and Shiraz Bazaars in Iran
Authors: Hakimian Pantea , Lak Azadeh 
Published: October 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual framework for defining the notion of “physical integration” regarding the Iranian bazaar as the main component in the structure of traditional Iranian cities. Applying this conceptual framework to the historical bazaars in the cities of Kerman and Shiraz, this study seeks to pave the way for restoring the physical integrity of such historical districts.Design/methodology/approachThe research was conducted in two phases. First, there was a review of the theoretical background of physical integration followed by the analysis of the corresponding qualitative contents and the validation of the proposed conceptual framework as confirmed by 15 local experts. The second phase tested the validated framework in two case studies based on maps, historical documents and field observations.FindingsThe findings show that the physical integration of historical bazaars can be undertaken in morphological, visual-aesthetic and functional aspects. The proposed conceptual framework is capable of dealing with the different aspects of physical integration in historical districts on a meso-scale.Research limitations/implicationsThe theoretical implications of this study concerning the physical integration of traditional bazaars address urban design, urban planning and multi-disciplinary historical geography. The study also has practical implications for the integration of bazaars in historical urban regeneration projects via design guidelines.Originality/valueThis study emphasizes the importance of physical integration as a multi-dimensional concept, facilitating it to deal with the physical quality and the characteristics of historical districts, particularly bazaars. It also highlights the role of the Iranian bazaar as a unifying structure in the historical districts.
Innovating processes and processing innovation: strategic approach to innovation in accounting firms
Authors: Tomo Andrea , Mangia Gianluigi , Canonico Paolo 
Published: October 2021

PurposeThis paper aimed to explore the main strategies and approaches to innovation in professional service firms (PSFs), with a specific focus on accounting firms.Design/methodology/approachThe paper relied upon a systematic literature review of previous studies to identify and reconcile the different approaches to innovation processes in accounting firms and further advance a conceptual framework for their discussion.FindingsThe findings, based on the review of 38 papers, revealed four main strategies around two main dimensions: the focus on internal/external features of the firm and the main source of innovation (technology and knowledge). The strategies may enable PSFs finding new opportunities and improving organizational performance.Practical implicationsThe paper provides a conceptual framework in the form of a “strategy-innovation” matrix where four strategies emerged to support PSFs identifying possible approaches to innovation for new opportunities and improving their performance and services. In doing so, the paper bridges the main sources of innovation, knowledge and technology with key organizational features, considering structural/organizational aspects, cultural aspects, HR practices, collaborative behaviors, professional autonomy, service diversification and the role of professional networks and external actors.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the literature by deepening understanding of innovation processes in PSFs, suggesting the need to develop a strategic orientation to innovation in these firms. In doing so, the paper also provides useful practical implications for the management of PSFs, suggesting an “innovation/strategy” matrix that might support the positioning of PSFs with reference to its approach to innovation.
Public attitude as a determinant of petty corruption in Egypt: a survey study
Authors: Kamel Iman Ragaei , Abd El Wahab Samir , Ashmawy Iman Karam I.M. 
Published: October 2021

PurposeThe aim of the study is to examine the effect of public attitude on petty corruption.Design/methodology/approachThis is a survey study on customers of a licenses providing authority (N = 390) in Cairo, Egypt. The authors use Akers social learning theory of crime and deviance and take into consideration criticisms of it. The authors control for individual and organizational level determinants that are identified by scholars as influencing people's attitudes toward corruption and which could be known through the authority customers' experiences. Because the dependent variable is binary, whether a person paid a bribe during last transaction with this authority or not, the authors use binary logistic regression.FindingsThe findings indicate that people are more likely to engage in petty corruption when they see it as acceptable, have previous petty corruption experience and when they use a mediator. Also, of those who dealt with that civil service authority during and directly after the 25th of January Revolution (N = 161) 31% reported that they did not engage in petty corruption in comparison to previous years. They referred this to a change in attitude at the time.Originality/valueThe policy implications of the research are important. Social science theories could generate cultural and policy relevant solutions for petty corruption; however, they have not been taken full advantage of. Also, experience-based country-specific corruption survey studies are important input for an effective anti-corruption policy.
How does knowledge affect IPO pricing? A new approach grounded in the knowledge-based view
Authors: Eom Chanyoung , Kang Hyoung-Goo 
Published: October 2021

PurposeThis study aims to empirically validate that a knowledge-based view (KBV) is an important framework to understand price discovery processes in initial public offerings (IPOs) by emphasizing the unique feature of knowledge creation jointly invoked by underwriters and institutional investors during the book building phase.Design/methodology/approachThe authors decompose underwriters’ incremental knowledge acquisition into objective knowledge – acquired from premarket bids – and subjective knowledge – which is orthogonal to the objective knowledge. The authors implement a multiplicative heteroscedasticity model to analyze how each knowledge component relates to the level and volatility (as a proxy of pricing uncertainty) of post-issue returns. The authors take the 2007 regulatory change as a quasi-natural experiment in which institutional investors were incentivized to provide true information.FindingsFor Korean IPOs, the authors find that the objective (subjective) knowledge component reduces (increases) both pricing uncertainty and underpricing. The authors also observe that the efficacy of the IPO knowledge creation critically depends on the quality of the information provided by institutional investors, as anticipated by the KBV literature.Originality/valueUsing fine-grained knowledge measures, the authors provide original, compelling evidence that objective (subjective) knowledge formulated from the IPO knowledge-creation processes de facto alleviates (worsens) underwriters’ pricing difficulties. This reinforces the importance of knowledge-based mechanisms in managerial decision-making processes.
Content versus community focus in live streaming services: how to drive engagement in synchronous social media
Authors: Giertz Johann N. , Weiger Welf H. , Törhönen Maria , Hamari Juho 
Published: October 2021

PurposeSocial live-streaming services are an emerging form of social media that is gaining in popularity among researchers and practitioners. By facilitating real-time interactions between video content creators (i.e. streamers) and viewers, live-streaming platforms provide an environment for novel engagement behaviors and monetization structures. This research aims to examine communication foci and styles as levers of streaming success. In doing so, the authors analyze their impact on viewers' engagement with the stream.Design/methodology/approachThis research draws on a unique dataset collected via a multi-wave questionnaire comprising viewers' perceptions of a specific streamer's communications and their actual behavior toward them. The authors analyze the proposed impact of communication foci on viewing and donating behavior while considering the moderating role of communication style using seemingly unrelated regressions.FindingsThe results show that communication foci represent a double-edged sword: community-focused communication drives viewership while reducing donations made to the streamer. By contrast, content-focused communication curbs viewing but drives donating.Practical implicationsOf specific interest for practitioners, the study demonstrates how streaming content providers (e.g. influencers) should adjust their communications to drive engagement in the context of synchronous social media such as social live-streaming services. Beyond that, this research identifies unique characteristics of engagement that can help managers to improve their digital service offerings.Social implicationsSocial live-streaming services provide an environment that offers unique opportunities for self-development and co-creation among social media users. By allowing for real-time interactions, these emerging social media services build on ephemeral content to provide altered experiences for users.Originality/valueThe authors highlight the need to distinguish between engagement behaviors in asynchronous and synchronous social media. The proposed conceptualization sheds new light on success factors of social media in general and social live-streaming services specifically. To maximize user engagement, content creators in synchronous social media must consider their communications' focus (content or community) and style (utilitarian or hedonic).
Linkages among automation, job displacement and reshoring: evidence from the Bangladeshi apparel industry
Authors: Hoque Md Aynul , Rasiah Rajah , Furuoka Fumitaka , Kumar Sameer 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to evaluate the impact of automation on job displacement and reshoring in the apparel industry. It also compares with predictions on the same subject matter by the existing literature and, thus, provides future research agenda for further studies.

Design/methodology/approach
Primary data were collected through 27 semi-structured in-depth interviews. The grounded theory was used for thematic and network analyzes, which traced the drivers and barriers, as well as the impact of automation and reshoring.

Findings
Initially, automation decreases human interactions in any specific production section. However, it increases productivity, quality and cost advantages, which invoke growth and further employment in clothing firms. The employment of unskilled workers decreases in the long run when automation is well adopted in the system. Automation does not stimulate reshoring but may support relocation initiatives of production sites around the centers of global value chains (GVCs). This GVC-based relocation may create job displacement in apparel manufacturing nations in Asia while bringing employment opportunities to Sub-Saharan African countries, Europe and North America.

Originality/value
Little empirical research has been conducted on the impact of automation on the apparel industry. This study predicts that human interventions will dominate the sewing of fashionable and sophisticated apparel products while automation may replace many human workers for basic garment items in the foreseeable future.
Fear of missing out? Linking workplace changes and presenteeism
Authors: Wynen Jan , Boon Jan , Op de Beeck Sophie 
Published: October 2021

AbstractWhy do employees continue to work during illness? So‐called presenteeism behaviour is a topic of great managerial and societal importance as it is connected to a series of negative individual and organisational outcomes. A growing body of research points to the importance of workplace factors in shaping employee stress and uncertainty and, ultimately, presenteeism behaviour. Curiously though, the impact of workplace changes on presenteeism behaviour has not been examined, even though the potential stress‐inducing effects of such change are well‐recognised. Building on a data set from the Australian Public Service, we examine how workplace changes are related to presenteeism behaviour. Our findings show that workplace changes generally provoke presenteeism behaviour. Specifically, cutback‐related changes appear to cause presenteeism. This finding is relevant in times when many organisations are confronted with major budget cuts.Brief summaryThis article explores the link between working during illness, or presenteeism behaviour, and workplace changes. Presenteeism behaviour is a topic of great managerial and societal importance as it is connected to a series of negative individual and organisational outcomes. A growing body of research points to the importance of workplace factors in shaping employee stress and uncertainty and, ultimately, presenteeism behaviour. Curiously though, the impact of workplace changes on presenteeism behaviour has not been examined, even though the potential stress‐inducing effects of such change are well‐recognised. Building on a data set from the Australian Public Service, we examine how workplace changes are related to presenteeism behaviour. Our findings show that workplace changes generally provoke presenteeism behaviour. Specifically, cutback‐related changes appear to cause presenteeism. This finding is relevant in times when many organisations are confronted with major budget cuts.Employees who experience workplace changes are more likely to go to work sick.Decreased staffing (cutback‐related change) is the main driver of presenteeism behaviour.Presenteeism is higher among employees working harder and longer hours – that is performing overtime, likely for the purpose of meeting high job demands.Fairness of pay reduces the likelihood of presenteeism.The findings suggest that although change itself is unavoidable and even necessary for organisations adapting to external demands, the potentially negative effects of change may be mitigated by appropriate change management and structures.
Organizational Politics and its Impact on Performance and Deviance Through Authenticity and Emotional Exhaustion
Authors: Castanheira Filipa Vieira da Silva , Sguera Francesco , Story Joana 
Published: October 2021

AbstractWe used a multi‐method approach (i.e. multi‐source survey and two experiments) to investigate the mediating mechanisms that link two distinct facets of organizational politics to employee performance and deviance. Study 1 surveyed 132 employees and their direct supervisors working in a call centre. We found that authenticity mediated the effect of general politics on supervisor‐rated performance and that emotional exhaustion mediated the effect of pay and promotion politics on supervisor‐rated deviance. To address causality concerns from Study 1, Study 2 adopted an experimental design to test the impact of high/low general political behaviour on authenticity and task performance. Authenticity mediated the effect of general politics on task performance. In Study 3, we used a similar experimental design to test if high/low perceptions of politics that are related to pay and promotion influence emotional exhaustion and deviance. Subjects in the condition depicting high politics in pay and promotion reported the highest levels of emotional exhaustion, and emotional exhaustion mediated the effects of pay and promotion politics on deviance. Overall, our findings suggest that distinctive types of perceived political behaviours at work influence individuals in negative ways, eventually inducing employees to lower their performance and engage in deviant practices.

Published: October 2021

AbstractBackgroundThis study aimed to retrospectively explore the safety and feasibility of computed tomography (CT)‐guided synchronous microwave ablation (MWA) followed by core‐needle biopsy (CNB) via a coaxial cannula for highly suspected malignant lung ground‐glass opacities (GGOs).MethodsThe clinical data of 66 patients (66 GGOs) treated with CT‐guided synchronous MWA followed by CNB via a coaxial cannula from January 2019 to January 2021 were included in this study. The technical success rate, curative effect, and complications were evaluated.ResultsTechnical success rates were 100%. The pneumothorax rate was 36.4% (24/66). 72.7% (48/66) patients had the bronchopulmonary hemorrhage, 81.3% of hemorrhage was attributable to CNB. 24.2% (16/66) patients had varying degrees of pleural effusion. The pathological results were adenocarcinomas (n = 44), atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (n = 2), chronic inflammation (n = 3) and indeterminate pathological diagnosis (n = 17) with a 69.7% (46/66) positive diagnosis rate. The therapeutic response rate was 100.0% (66/66).ConclusionsSynchronous MWA followed by CNB via a coaxial cannula has a satisfactory ablation effectiveness and an acceptable biopsy positive rate, which is an alternative treatment for highly suspected malignant GGOs.
The influence of a composite resin adhesive on microleakage into the implant screw access chamber
Authors: Walipoor M , Dudley J 
Published: October 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe sealing of implant screw access chambers can influence prosthesis success, peri‐implant health and patient comfort. The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of single implant crown screw access chambers sealed with and without a composite resin adhesive.MethodsTwenty milled lithium disilicate crowns were luted to titanium‐base abutments, attached to implants and randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first group had the screw access chamber sealed with polytetrafluoroethylene tape, a 10‐methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate containing adhesive, and composite resin. The second group used the same procedure but without an adhesive. All samples were sealed at the implant‐abutment interface and subjected to thermocycling then immersed in a ferrous sulphate contrast media for 48 h. Infiltration and microleakage was measured using a microcomputed tomography scanner.ResultsAll samples demonstrated high resistance to microleakage with no significant contrast media diffusion in either of the two groups.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this in vitro study, the use of a composite resin adhesive for sealing the screw access chamber for single implant crowns provided no additional sealing capacity compared with composite resin alone. Composite resin restorations placed in the traditional manner without sealing provided excellent resistance to microleakage.

Published: October 2021

AbstractThe 2019–2020 Australian megafires were unprecedented in their intensity and extent. These wildfires may have caused high mortality of adult broad‐headed snakes Hoplocephalus bungaroides which shelter inside tree hollows during summer. We evaluated the impacts of two high‐intensity wildfires (2002 Touga Fire and 2020 Morton Fire) on a broad‐headed snake population in Morton National Park, south‐eastern Australia. We analysed a 29‐year mark–recapture data set to estimate survival rates of adults in years with and without wildfires, and with and without human disturbance to rock outcrops. To examine the short‐term effects of fire on occupancy, we analysed presence–absence data collected from 25 sites during 2019 and 2020. Estimates of occupancy were higher for 2020 (0.93 ± 0.09) than for 2019 (0.66 ± 0.14), while detection rates were constant (0.40 ± 0.06). Over the period 1992–2020, the best supported Cormack–Jolly–Seber model was one in which adult survival rates were high and stable (0.81 ± 0.04), but were 23% lower in years when humans disturbed rocks (0.63 ± 0.08). A model in which adult mortality was 20% higher in years with human disturbance and 14% higher in years with wildfires was also supported. Estimates of abundance revealed that the population declined by 34% after the Touga Fire, and 26% after the Morton Fire. Over the 29‐year study, the population has declined by 60%. Our results highlight how mortality events from wildfires need to be evaluated in the context of other threatening processes. For this population, the removal of snakes and associated habitat disturbance poses a more serious threat to population viability than infrequent wildfires.
