Authors: Vararean-Cochisa Daniela , Crisan Emil-Lucian 
Published: November 2024

PurposeAlthough the recent increased efforts to implement digital transformation (DT), the construction sector field lags behind other sectors, and the academic research on the DT process remains rather fragmented. This study is an integrative review of the construction related literature concerning the context, interventions and outcomes of the DT process.Design/methodology/approachWe have reviewed 15 cases presenting the DT process of construction companies, by employing the context-intervention-mechanism-output (CIMO) framework.FindingsRegarding the context (C), the major drivers of DT are top management support, organizational culture pro DT and customer requirements. Concerning the intervention (I), BIM technology dominates construction firms' approaches to DT, followed by cloud computing and Internet of Things (IoT). The outcomes (O) of DT include direct and indirect benefits related to accurate cost calculations, cost reduction, improved work efficiency, high quality, as there are more complex results related to new business models and increased long-term competitiveness. DT in this field can be described considering three mechanisms (M), similar to a maturity model: traditional DT, niche DT and advanced DT.Originality/valueThis review contributes to the literature by integrating existing studies on the context, interventions and outcomes of the DT process of the construction industry.

Authors: Noori Farzaneh , Delangizan Sohrab 
Published: November 2024

PurposeIn the past 30 years, the subject of “Entrepreneurial University” has been very popular in scientific publications, according to the effects of the entrepreneurial university on the urban economy. Researchers have conducted several studies to create an appropriate structure due to the new missions universities had after the introduction of this subject, but these efforts have sometimes led to the parallel work of the established units or the lack of responsible units for some goals within the university.Design/methodology/approachThe main goal of this study is to achieve the structural and functional model of an entrepreneurial university. For this purpose, 54 articles that specifically dealt with the creation and activities of the entrepreneurial university were studied using the thematic analysis method. Two groups of themes were categorized, one related to the structure of the entrepreneur university and the other related to the functions of the entrepreneur university.FindingsIn the structural dimension; this study proposes to introduce the vice-chancellor of technology and entrepreneurship within the university, which has units such as the university incubator, the technology transfer office and other units related to entrepreneurship in its sub-category, and the government–industry relations office in charge of establishing government and industry relations within the university. In addition, to avoid the parallel work of the entrepreneurial units this study suggests using the level of technological readiness as an index for promoting to another unit.Originality/valueThe findings can be used by policymakers in higher education and the national and local governments.

Published: November 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to provide empirical evidence regarding Lean Six Sigma (LSS) practices supported by Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies in heavy vehicle manufacturing processes.Design/methodology/approachA two-case study was performed involving LSS specialists, leaders and managers of two heavy vehicle manufacturers in Brazil. The data analysis procedure combined content analysis techniques, conceptual maps and network analysis.FindingsThe results provide consistent evidence of synergies between LSS and I4.0, including digital mistake-proofing, digital andon, e-kanban, statistical monitoring as well as process mapping aided by cyber-physical systems (CPS) and big data analytics (BDA). To enable such interactions, companies need to invest in automation architectures, system integration, human–machine interfaces and analytical skills.Research limitations/implicationsThis study relies on data from a two-case study carried out in two companies from a single manufacturing sector in Brazil. For this reason, the findings cannot be generalized to the entire automotive industry.Originality/valueThere is still a lack of comprehensive research on the application of digital technologies in LSS practices. This is the first study which provides empirical evidence regarding the LSS practices supported by I4.0 technologies used by heavy vehicle manufacturers.

Authors: Al Shomali Maisa , Al-Betawi Yamen N. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This research paper aims to shed light on Amman’s stairways and explore the potential of being successful urban spaces. It tries to identify critical design factors that contribute to making these stairs livable urban spaces to help further develop this type of urban space.

Design/methodology/approach
Three popular stairs were identified, for which a series of exploratory visits were conducted to document the morphological characteristics and essential activities around each stairway. This was followed by administering a questionnaire to measure users’ satisfaction with four criteria, including protection, comfort, attractiveness and functionality, to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each stair.

Findings
Results confirmed the presence of essential design aspects that encourage users to come and practice certain activities that enhance urban social life. Aspects of concern include security and protection, aesthetic quality, uniqueness, variety of activities, room to walk, sit and socialize and good management of space.

Research limitations/implications
Results can be taken as a departure frame for future research to conduct deeper analysis to comprehend the stairways’ physical, contextual and social characteristics. Understanding the settings of such vital urban spaces will help revive their roles and bring back their brilliance to restore the city’s liveliness and maintain a better life quality for its residents.

Originality/value
Research interests almost lack studies addressing urban stairways aiming to understand the qualities that enable them to attract people and activities. The manuscript presents beneficial research that tackles the vitality of urban stairways, as an example of linear public spaces. Enhancing the quality of these spaces will help stimulate pedestrian movement and activate walking as an essential sustainable means of commuting at the city level.
Navigating job demands and resources in policing: the role of self-efficacy in work burnout and engagement
Authors: Lim Chang-Ho , Ra Kwang Hyun , Kim Seung Hyun 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis study examined the effects of job demands and resources specific to policing on work burnout and engagement, including self-efficacy’s role in expanding the job demands-resources model (JD-R model).Design/methodology/approachThe authors used survey data from 1,591 South Korean police by nationwide sampling officers in 2023. A moderation analysis was used to examine the relationships between each variable.FindingsSelf-efficacy moderates the effects of job demands and job resources on work burnout but not on work engagement. The high self-efficacy group generally exhibits lower levels of work burnout than the low self-efficacy group. The high self-efficacy group is associated with higher levels of work burnout as job demands increase and lower levels of work burnout as job resources increase. The low self-efficacy group experiences higher levels of work burnout independent of job demands and job resources than the high self-efficacy group. In the low self-efficacy group, the reduction in job burnout is very gentle as job resources increase. Also, the increase in job burnout is steep as job demands increase.Originality/valueJob resources are generally considered helpful in reducing work burnout. However, the current study highlights the necessity for delicate interventions considering self-efficacy levels.
When families overload careers: the critical role of family-interferes-with-work and boundary management
Authors: Halinski Michael , Gover Laura , Duxbury Linda 
Published: November 2024

PurposeWhile there has been growing interest in how personal and work-related factors shape employees’ careers, we know little about how family demands affect career intentions. Drawing from role theory and boundary theory, we examine the indirect effect of family-role overload on career intentions via family-interferes-with-work (FIW), as well as the conditional indirect effect of boundary management on these relationships.Design/methodology/approachUtilizing two waves of panel data that were collected in the third and fourth waves of the pandemic in Canada (n = 433), we conducted a structural equation model to test our hypotheses.FindingsOur analysis reveals that FIW mediates the relationship between family-role overload and (1) career change intention and (2) job turnover intention. The results also indicate that the effect of family-role overload on career intentions via FIW strengthens for employees with a low ability to enact preferred boundaries.Originality/valueThis research shows the indirect effect of family-role overload on career intentions via FIW. This research also highlights how boundary management can buffer the effects of family-role overload on career intentions.
Exploring IT-driven supply chain capabilities and resilience: the roles of supply chain risk management and complexity
Authors: Ahmadi Taher , Hesaraki Alireza F. , Morsch Jan P.M. 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
In an era where global supply chains are increasingly susceptible to disruptions, this study aims to unlock the potential of IT integration within the supply chain in enhancing supply chain resilience. It investigates how this integration, combined with IT-driven capabilities, acts as a cornerstone in strengthening supply chain resilience (SCRs). The research navigates through the intricate dynamics of supply chain management to chart a strategic pathway for managers, illuminating the investments necessary to cultivate a resilient supply chain.

Design/methodology/approach
Grounding their investigation within the theoretical lens of dynamic resource-based theory, the authors designed a conceptual model to investigate the relationship between IT integration and SCR. Through the survey responses from supply chain professionals, the authors applied partial least squares-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to unravel the complexities of building a resilient supply chain.

Findings
Their investigation reveals that IT-driven supply chain capabilities (SCCs) are not just beneficial but essential in bridging IT integration with SCR. These capabilities emerge as vital, fully mediating the relationship between IT integration and SCR. Moreover, the significance of robust supply chain risk management (SCRM) in harnessing these IT-driven capabilities to bolster resilience is undeniable, offering organisations a sustainable advantage during times of turbulence.

Research limitations/implications
The primary limitation of this study is that data collection occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the results may not be representative of different circumstances or periods. This study uncovered several noteworthy findings. The authors found that SCCs fully mediate the relationship between Supply Chain Management IT Integration (SCMITI) and SCR. In addition, the authors found that SCRM positively moderates the relationship between SCMITI and SCCs. The authors observed that Supply Chain Structural Complexity (SCSC) has no significant moderating effect on the relationship between IT-driven SCCs and SCR.

Practical implications
The results of this study offer managers a clear path forward for investing in SCR. Businesses must invest in SCMITI and SCRM to boost their SCR through developing IT-driven SCCs to ensure consistent business continuity. SCMITI does not necessarily increase SCR resilience when it is done poorly and does not lead to SCCs effectively. In this regard, managers must rely on collective wisdom to determine which technologies and IT applications will best meet their business needs and their peers’ requirements in the supply chain.

Originality/value
This study sheds light on the mechanisms through which IT enhances SCR. It fills a critical knowledge gap, focusing on the synergy between IT integration, risk management and the cultivation of IT-driven capabilities to navigate supply chain disruptions.
The reaction of top cryptocurrencies to lawsuit against Binance: an intraday event study
Authors: Mehdian Seyed , Gherghina Ștefan Cristian , Stoica Ovidiu 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the responses of cryptocurrency markets to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) announcement on June 5, 2023, concerning the charges against Binance. This paper investigates the intraday market reactions and volatilities of a set of cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano and Litecoin) to this announcement as an event and explore if these reactions are consistent with the prediction of overreaction hypothesis or uncertain information hypothesis.

Design/methodology/approach
Considering the day when the SEC filed the lawsuit against Binance as an unexpected event, we classify the price movements of a set of cryptos on the event day as either unexpected favorable news or unexpected unfavorable events. We examine whether the behavior of the prices of the crypto is consistent with the predictions of the overreaction hypothesis (OH) proposed by De Bondt and Thaler (1985) or the uncertain information hypothesis (UIH) suggested by Brown et al. (1988).

Findings
The results suggest that the cryptocurrency markets faced a return volatility surge, no matter if investors regarded this event as favorable or unfavorable, and the markets’ responses are mixed. The results of supremum augmented Dickey−Fuller (SADF) and generalized SADF (GSADF) do not support the bubble behavior in selected cryptocurrency series.

Research limitations/implications
The essential implication is that the action of the SEC had an evident impact on the volatility of cryptocurrency markets. This consequence should be seriously considered, as the role of the SEC in regulating the digital asset markets becomes more critical following the approval of the Bitcoin ETFs, early 2024.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper investigating the cryptocurrencies’ markets reactions to the SEC lawsuit against Binance. It sheds light to the market reactions using intraday data.
British supervisors’ conceptions of ideal and successful PhD attributes and their implications for equity in doctoral candidate selection
Authors: Oyinloye Bukola , Wakeling Paul Brian James 
Published: November 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore supervisors’ conceptions of successful and ideal doctoral students’ attributes and their implications for integrating equity and diversity considerations into the doctoral selection process.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a qualitative approach and analyses data from extensive interviews with senior academics and a member of the professional staff in England on their perspectives of the attributes of ideal and successful doctoral candidates. The study is conceptually framed by the Research Development Framework (RDF) and an adapted ecosystem model of the factors influencing PhD completion (Lovitts, 2005).

Findings
The findings reveal that supervisors value both cognitive and non-cognitive attributes, with the majority of the non-cognitive attributes categorised in the RDF sub-domains of personal qualities, self-management, working with others and communication and dissemination. Non-cognitive attributes were, moreover, valued not just for their contribution to doctoral success but also to the doctoral experience.

Practical implications
In contrast to the typically narrow criteria emphasised in UK doctoral selection, the authors argue that a wider, more holistic, range of attributes better represents what supervisors actually value, while offering greater opportunities for equitable selection of diverse doctoral cohorts. Two key macroenvironmental challenges are discussed: the difficulty of selecting for highly valued non-cognitive attributes and the importance of institutional support for the creation and sustainability of more equitable selection processes.

Originality/value
This paper deepens the literature on supervisors’ perceptions of the qualities or attributes of doctoral success and links this to the use of criteria that avoid reinforcing structural racial inequities in higher education.
Bricolage and its Strategic Connotations: A Study of Greek Social Entrepreneurs in Times of Crisis
Authors: Glasbeek Luc 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study examines how social entrepreneurs contend with severe resource constraints in times of crisis. To explain entrepreneurial responses to such limitations, researchers use the concept of bricolage, which involves creatively combining scarce resources to solve problems. Although previous studies have disregarded bricolage's potential strategic connotations, this paper uses qualitative data from 44 informants in 20 Greek social enterprises to reveal the coexistence and entwinement of strategic and bricolage behaviours. The paper adopts a strategy‐as‐practice (SaP) lens to conceptualize this phenomenon subsequently. SaP refers to strategy as the joint actions, interactions and negotiations among actors that shape an integrated organizational whole. SaP and bricolage have fundamental commonalities (e.g. taking a practice view of inventive behaviours), making them ontologically compatible. Two reciprocal ideas emerge from this exploration: ‘formational bricolage’ can organically shape an emergent strategy, while ‘strategic bricolage’ guides and, in some instances, constrains bricolage behaviours and practices.
Labour Unemployment Insurance and Pension Asset Allocations
Authors: Liang Yina , Kiosse Paraskevi Vicky , Tarsalewska Monika 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis paper examines the effect of unemployment risk on pension investment decisions of defined benefit pension plans. In particular, we examine whether unemployment insurance benefits affect pension investment risk. Using fixed‐effects and difference‐in‐difference analyses, we find evidence that firms take higher pension investment risk by investing more heavily in equities after unemployment insurance benefit increases. These results are consistent with the notion that firms undertake more risk when the costs of unemployment decrease. The findings are robust to a number of sensitivity tests, including a falsification test to examine the timing of the relationship between the riskiness of the pension portfolio and unemployment insurance benefits, a 3‐year window, alternative matching methods and removing firms that operate in geographically dispersed industries. Additional analyses suggests that the findings are more pronounced for firms with skilled labour and high labour intensity, while they are less pronounced when the risk of layoffs is high, in less competitive industries and highly unionized firms.
How and When High‐Performance Work Systems Affect Employee Outcomes in the Hospitality Industry: The Role of Followership and Job Specialization
Authors: Xie Yunhui , Zhang Yuqing , Zhang YiChi , Alder Stoney , Deng Honghui 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTPrevious studies have indicated that high‐performance work systems (HPWSs) influence employees' work outcomes within organization. However, very few studies have investigated the effects of HPWSs from the perspective of followership and job specialization. Drawing from social exchange theory, this study explores the mediating role of followership and the moderating role of job specialization in the relation between HPWSs and employee outcomes. The data from 391 restaurant employee–manager pairs in four stores in China indicate that active engagement followership mediates the effects of HPWSs on employee turnover intention and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB), and job specialization moderates the direct effects of HPWSs on employee job performance and OCB. Specifically, employees in roles with a higher degree of specialization are more likely to be influenced by HPWSs. The findings provide new insights into human resource practices within organization, emphasizing the roles of followership and job specialization.
Evaluation of perforation‐mediated modified atmosphere packaging for the commercialization of bulk purple passion fruit under refrigeration

Published: November 2024

AbstractModified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is widely used to preserve fresh fruits. In the case of exporting products in bulk formats (2–5 kg), perforated MAP can help extend shelf life if appropriately configured to reach suitable gas levels. This study evaluated the configuration of a perforated MAP system for purple passion (Passiflora edulis Sims) fruits based on modeling and simulation of changes in gas levels within the package headspace and experimental data on the respiration and transpiration of the fruits. For this evaluation, perforation‐mediated multilayer bags made of polyamide and low‐density polyethylene were adjusted to preserve 2 kg of purple passion fruits. The number of perforations made in the bags was predefined by performing predictive calculations to reach favorable gas levels in the packaging headspace. Subsequently, storage tests were conducted at the laboratory level (6 and 17 ± 1°C) and then at the pilot level (6 ± 2 and 17 ± 3°C), obtaining steady molar fractions of O2 of 0.122–0.128 and CO2 of 0.098–0.100 and shelf life of 36 days for the fruits packaged at 6°C. Additionally, the accumulated weight loss of the fruits was monitored, obtaining values close to those previously modeled. The pre‐configuration of the perforations resulted in suitable O2 and CO2 levels in the MAP, achieving up to 36 days of shelf life at 6°C and 24 days at 17°C. Likewise, moisture permeation through the bags resulted in low condensation with fruit weight losses of 4.8% at 6°C after 55 days in the pilot test.Practical ApplicationThis study evaluated using perforated PA/LDPE multilayer bulk bags (2 kg) to preserve purple passion fruits. The package was preconfigured (with a predefined number of perforations necessary to achieve favorable levels of O2, CO2, and humidity) and was compared against a commercial factory‐made perforated package. By performing predictive calculations to define a suitable number of perforations, it was possible to regulate the respiration and transpiration of the packaged fruit to increase its shelf life under controlled and real conditions. This approach can be extended to any bulk‐packaged fruit, and it can help select, design, and develop breathable packages that prevent decay.
