Splitting the rent: a strategy for managers to address instability in network organization governance
Authors: Shi Wenlei 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study aims to develop an analytical model for generating relational rent within network organizations and to establish a comprehensive framework for the allocation of such rent.Design/methodology/approachThe design stage involves the formulation of integrated computer-aided manufacturing definition (IDEF0) methodologies. The construction stage comprises the detailed elaboration of three distinct stages for rent allocation methods.FindingsThe “relational rent” perspective has illustrated that firms create value and distribute rent within network organizations by identifying partners with complementary resources, establishing high levels of robust informal trust, sharing knowledge and making customized investments tailored to their partners’ needs.Practical implicationsThis innovative approach, for the first time, sheds light on the path for managers to secure the stability of network organizations by implementing multiple iterations of benefit distribution. However, it remains an area lacking standardized guidelines for decision-makers. Essentially, our paper pioneers the endeavor, marking the inaugural step toward ensuring network organization stability through profit distribution decisions. Additionally, it constitutes the initial attempt to bridge the gap between qualitative analysis and a quantitative profit distribution framework.Originality/valueThis rent allocation method unequivocally highlights the importance of efficient allocation within network organizations, emphasizing the streamlining of the allocation process and thus substantiating the rationality of the proposed method.
Citizenship behaviors against organizational interests: perceived follower support and supervisor competence uncertainty
Authors: Abdelmotaleb Moustafa , Mouri Nacef , Lahlouh Khaled , Saha Sudhir K. 
Published: December 2024

PurposeAdopting a followership perspective and drawing upon the literature on perceived support, we provide new theoretical insights into when and why supervisors engage in unethical behavior with the intention of benefiting a “favorite” follower, referred to as unethical favoritism behavior (UFB).Design/methodology/approachWe conducted two studies: an experiment and a multi-rater field study. Data were collected and analyzed using AMOS and the Macro process for SPSS.FindingsWe found that a follower’s standing among his or her peers in terms of citizenship behaviors toward their supervisor (i.e. relative organizational citizenship behaviors toward supervisor or ROCBS) has a positive effect on the supervisor’s perception of the follower’s support. The results further reveal that the choice of the supervisor on whether to reciprocate or not the perceived support (triggered by ROCBS) with UFB depends on the supervisor’s competence uncertainty (i.e. the degree of supervisor uncertainty regarding his/her work competencies).Originality/valueOur findings broaden the way the supervisor–follower relationship has traditionally been investigated in the organizational behavior literature by showing that under certain circumstances, followers’ good behaviors might become an antecedent to supervisors’ unethical acts.
Corporate performance: green supply chain management, digital transformation and carbon neutrality
Authors: Chen Yuhan , Guo Hailan 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThis study examines the interdependent relationships between green supply chain management (GSCM), carbon neutrality capability (CNC), digital transformation (DT) and firm performance (FP) among enterprises listed on the Chinese stock market. The primary objective is to provide a scholarly examination that may help these organisations to enhance their GSCM practices significantly.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on data from mainland Chinese publicly listed firms over the period from 2014 to 2021, this study posits and methodically evaluates four hypotheses: (1) GSCM practices are positively associated with an increase in CNC; (2) GSCM practices have a beneficial impact on FP; (3) DT moderates the GSCM–FP relationship and (4) CNC mediates the effect of GSCM on FP.FindingsContrary to initial assumptions, the findings suggest that GSCM practices may initially have a negative impact on FP. However, a concerted focus on CNC has the potential to convert this negative trajectory into a positive influence on FP. The findings further identify that DT has a significant moderating effect on the GSCM–FP relationship.Originality/valueThe findings of this study enrich the academic discourse concerning the symbiotic effects of GSCM, CNC and DT on FP. By systematically analysing these dynamics, the study underscores the critical importance of CNC and DT in the successful application of GSCM practices, thus offering valuable contributions to the literature on sustainable corporate operations.
Anxiety, mental health, job insecurity and workplace challenges: exploring the well-being of women gig workers in the gig economy
Authors: Singh Ramya , Sharma Archana , Gupta Nimit , Mishra Manish , Kushwaha Rohit 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
The rapid growth of the gig economy has reshaped the labor market and provided flexible work opportunities but also exposed gig workers to challenges such as job insecurity, anxiety and mental health concerns. For women gig workers, these challenges are often more pronounced due to the precarious nature of gig work and the lack of social protections.

Design/methodology/approach
A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 603 women gig workers across various sectors in India’s major metro cities. The survey used a combination of Likert scale and structured questionnaire to assess anxiety, mental health, job insecurity, workplace challenges and overall well-being, with reliability tests confirming internal consistency.

Findings
Descriptive statistics revealed moderate levels of anxiety, job insecurity and workplace challenges, with most respondents reporting relatively positive perceptions of well-being. Reliability analysis indicated satisfactory internal consistency across the survey constructs, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.774 to 0.789. Hypothesis testing showed significant negative correlations between anxiety, job insecurity, workplace challenges and well-being, indicating that higher levels of these stressors are associated with lower well-being. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions and policy enhancements to improve the working conditions and support systems for women gig workers.

Research limitations/implications
The study highlights the need for tailored policies and interventions to address the unique challenges faced by women gig workers. Enhancing social protections, providing mental health support and ensuring safer working conditions could help improve their overall well-being.

Originality/value
This study adds to the limited literature on women gig workers in India by examining the specific factors influencing their well-being. It offers new insights into the intersection of gender and gig work, emphasizing the need for policy frameworks that better support this vulnerable workforce.
The effects of esports viewers’ customer experience on intention to purchase sponsoring brands: the mediating role of social identification
Authors: Navarro-Lucena Fernando , Anaya-Sánchez Rafael , Molinillo Sebastian 
Published: December 2024

PurposeThe aim of this study is to understand how the dimensions of esports streaming viewers’ customer experience influence their intentions to buy brands produced by sponsors, both directly and through the mediating effect of their identification with players and teams.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through an online survey of 396 regular esports viewers in Spain, using convenience sampling. The proposed conceptual model was evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results showed that the four dimensions of the viewer's customer experience (cognitive, affective, sensory and social) predicted his/her social identification with players/teams. In turn, social identification positively influenced purchase intentions for the sponsoring brand. The cognitive, affective and social dimensions of the experience indirectly influenced purchase intentions for the sponsoring brand, through social identification.Originality/valueThis study improves the understanding of esports viewers’ experiences and their impact on purchase intentions toward the sponsoring brand, and the key role of the viewer’s social identification with players/teams.
3D printed microfluidic devices produced by material extrusion: effect of ironing parameters on mixing efficiency and gradient generation
Authors: Pricci Alessio , Percoco Gianluca 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
This study aims to describe the effect of ironing process parameters on mixing efficiency and gradient generation in Y-micromixers and microfluidic gradient generators (MGGs), respectively.

Design/methodology/approach
Material extrusion (MEX) enables the production of miniaturized devices with the advantage of lower manufacturing costs and higher design freedom. However, surface finishing is the most important drawback when it comes to microfluidic applications where flow splitting is not required. First, the effect of ironing line spacing (LS) and speed (IS) on mixing efficiency in Y-micromixers was experimentally investigated. Then, the best ironing settings were chosen to further study the spatial stability of the normalized concentration gradient in MGGs.

Findings
Lower ironing LS and IS enhance the microchannel surface smoothness. The best combination of ironing parameters (lowest values of LS and IS) leads to an increase in mixing length of 191% at Q = 10 µL/min and 198% at Q = 20 µL/min, with respect to a similar Y-micromixer geometry where ironing was not performed. These findings were applied in the production of a MGG, showing that the normalized concentration gradient in the crosswise flow direction does not depend on the streamwise position when ironing is performed.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, for the first time, the possibility of optimizing ironing parameters to enhance the surface roughness in MEX microfluidic devices has been investigated. Ironing of the channel bottom surface allows to reduce ridges-induced flow convection, thus delaying mixing in Y-micromixers and achieving stable concentration gradient in MGGs.
Unlocking the potential: Exploring the interplay of humble leadership, self-efficacy, and negative gossip in overcoming knowledge hiding
Authors: Aftab Hira , Islam Talat , Cheema Amna Umer 
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Knowledge hiding has become a great challenge for organizations. Therefore, this study aims to understand how humble leadership affects knowledge hiding. Specifically, this study aims to explore the mediating role of self-efficacy between humble leadership and knowledge-hiding and the moderating role of negative workplace gossip between humble leadership and self-efficacy.

Design/methodology/approach
As 63% of Pakistani employees are involved in knowledge-hiding, data were collected from 329 employees working in various organizations on a convenience basis using a questionnaire-based survey. Considering the potential problem of common method bias, the data were collected on two separate occasions. This study applied structural equation modeling for the analysis using AMOS software.

Findings
This study noted that when working with humble leaders, employees are less inclined to conceal their knowledge, and this relationship is mediated by self-efficacy. In addition, this study noted that individuals high in perceived negative gossip exhibit low self-efficacy even in the presence of humble leadership.

Research limitations/implications
Cross-sectional time-lagged data of the study may restrict causality. Nevertheless, the findings contribute to the social learning theory by offering a more intricate comprehension of how knowledge-hiding can be tackled in the workplace. Further, this study suggests that humble leadership can be an effective strategy to overcome negative workplace behaviors.

Originality/value
Extending the existing literature on knowledge-hiding and drawing upon social learning theory, this study highlighted the role of humble leadership. The study not only reveals self-efficacy as a mediating mechanism between humble leadership and knowledge-hiding but also explores how negative gossip serves as a boundary condition to harm self-efficacy in the presence of humble leadership.
From collaboration to convergence: Nativist attitudes among non‐radical right supporters
Authors: SANTOSO LIE PHILIP 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis study examines the impact of cooperation between radical right parties (RRPs) and non‐RRPs on the policy attitudes of non‐RRP supporters. As RRPs have gained prominence in recent years, particularly for their nativist and anti‐immigration positions, this research investigates whether non‐RRP partisans adopt similar views when their preferred parties collaborate with RRPs. Drawing on original survey data from Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom in 2019, the findings reveal a notable association: non‐RRP supporters are more likely to express stronger nativist attitudes when they perceive their parties as having cooperative relationship with RRPs. These results suggest the potential for ideological diffusion, where voters adjust their beliefs in response to perceived alignment with allied parties. Ultimately, this paper seeks to enhance our understanding of how party cooperation affects voter attitudes, suggesting that alliances with RRPs may normalize exclusionary policies and exacerbate societal divisions.
Measuring systemic risk: A financial statement–based approach for insurance firms and banks
Authors: Peddireddy Venkat , Rajgopal Shiva 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWe introduce CRISK, a financial statement–based measure, to assess the systemic risk contribution of a financial firm. CRISK measures the capital shortfall of a financial firm conditional on severe distress in the entire system. Our measure complements the market‐based measure, SRISK, introduced by Acharya et al. (2012, American Economic Review, 102(3), 59–64) and Brownlees and Engle (2017, Review of Financial Studies, 30(1), 48–79), in identifying systemically risky financial firms. While SRISK provides a timelier assessment using real‐time stock market data, CRISK offers a more nuanced approach using accounting information and is tailored to the distinct characteristics of insurance firms and commercial banks. Our empirical analysis shows that (1) compared to CRISK, SRISK tends to overestimate capital shortfalls for insurance firms and for banks that hold a substantial portion of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation–insured deposits while underestimating capital shortfalls for banks heavily reliant on uninsured deposits; (2) CRISK estimates of capital shortfall closely align with the actual capital injections received by financial firms during the financial crisis of 2007–2009; and (3) CRISK exhibits a significant positive correlation with short interest. Based on our findings, we recommend using SRISK as an initial screening tool to identify potential systemically risky financial firms, followed by refining the list and validating the expected capital shortfall using CRISK.

AbstractBackgroundSepsis remains the leading cause of in‐hospital death and one of the costliest inpatient conditions in the United States, while treatment delays worsen outcomes. We sought to determine factors and outcomes associated with a missed emergency physician (EP) diagnosis of sepsis.MethodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective single‐center observational cohort of undifferentiated, critically ill medical patients (September 2020–May 2022). EP gestalt of suspicion for sepsis was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS; 0%–100%) at 15 and 60 min post–patient arrival. The primary outcome was an explicit hospital discharge diagnosis of sepsis that was present on arrival. We calculated test characteristics for clinically relevant subgroups and examined factors associated with initial and persistent missed diagnoses. Associations with process (antibiotics) and clinical (mortality) outcomes were assessed after adjusting for severity.ResultsAmong 2484 eligible patients, 275 (11%) met the primary outcome. A VAS score of ≥50 (more likely than not of being septic) at 15 min demonstrated sensitivity 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.87) and specificity 0.85 (95% CI 0.83–0.86). Older age, hypoxia, hypotension, renal insufficiency, leukocytosis, and both high and low temperature were significantly associated with lower accuracy due to reduced specificity, but maintained sensitivity. Of 48 (17%) and 23 (8%) missed cases at 15 and 60 min, elevated lactate, leukocytosis, bandemia, and positive urinalysis were more common in the missed sepsis compared to nonsepsis cases. Missed diagnoses were associated with median (interquartile range) delay of 48 (27–64) min in antibiotic administration but were not independently associated with inpatient mortality as risk ratios remained close to 1 across VAS scores.ConclusionsThis prospective single–academic center study identified patient subgroups at risk of impaired diagnostic accuracy of sepsis, with clinicians often overdiagnosing rather than underdiagnosing these groups. Prompt abnormal laboratory test results can “rescue” initial missed diagnoses, serving as potential clinician‐ and systems‐level intervention points to reduce missed diagnoses. Missed diagnoses delayed antibiotics, but not mortality after controlling for severity of illness.
Institutional investor distraction and stock price synchronicity
Authors: Zhou Taiyun , Yao Gang 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis article examines the relation between institutional investor distraction and stock price synchronicity using extreme industry returns as an exogenous shock to investor attention. We find that institutional investor distraction is negatively associated with the quantity of firm‐specific information incorporated into stock prices. Underlying mechanisms that lead to our results are the decremental disclosure of valuable information and reduced efficiency of information dissemination. Further analyses imply that the negative impact of institutional investor distraction is more pronounced for firms with weaker internal control and lower market competition. This stock price synchronicity significantly increases financial constraints and weakens investment horizons.
Don't take me for a free‐ride: Chinese Agricultural Geographical Indications and firms' export quality
Authors: Mao Haiou , Görg Holger 
Published: December 2024

AbstractGeographical Indication (GI) is a rising policy in developing countries, which has been relatively neglected in the existing literature. This article studies Chinese agricultural GIs and its impact on firms’ exports. By relating newly authorized GIs with firm‐product‐location‐destination level customs trade data according to GIs’ geographical coverage and product type, we estimate the impact of these new GIs on firm's exports. Importantly, we can distinguish GIs with and without quality supervision. For the latter we find negative impacts on export quality, which is not the case for GIs with quality supervision. We interpret this in the context of our theoretical framework as evidence for quality free‐riding, where individual firms have an incentive to lower the quality of the export product. We show that this negative effect is less, the more concentrated an industry is or the more GIs there are for a particular product. Furthermore, our results suggest that the China‐EU agreement on Geographical Indications may play the role of quality supervision and prevent the possibility of free‐riding.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveThere are significant difficulties associated with the management of dementia patients in hospitals, leading to adverse patient outcomes, prolonged length of stay (LOS), strain on resources and high readmission rates. This study aimed to investigate these factors in the context of a regional hospital.DesignThis study retrospectively reviewed all dementia admissions in a publicly funded Australian regional hospital from January 2022 to December 2022.MethodsAll admissions including an ICD‐10 coded dementia diagnosis were assessed, and data extracted using the integrated electronic medical record.SettingOverall, 257 bed Australian regional hospital in an area with a Modified Monash Model rating of 2.ParticipantsThere were 105 dementia patients admitted within the study period.Main Outcomes MeasuresDementia severity, LOS, consultation liaison (CL) psychiatry involvement, readmission rates, and discharge destinations.ResultsThe LOS in patients with dementia was 23.3 (± 35.2) days compared to age‐matched patients without dementia admitted in the same period with a LOS of 8.2 (± 4.7) days. Dementia patients who died in hospital had the longest acute LOS at 14.4 (± 8.8) days. Dementia patients who were admitted from their usual residential aged care facility had the longest maintenance LOS at 69 (± 83.3) days.ConclusionsThis research contributes information to the current knowledge gap of dementia care in regional hospitals. Data from this study may help to inform the development of strategies for effective hospital‐based dementia care and interventions.
