Authors: Mazzitelli Maria , Trunfio Mattia , Scaglione Vincenzo , Sasset Lolita , Leoni Davide , Gasparini Gianluca , Marini Mauro , Favaro Angela , Cattelan Annamaria 
Published: November 2024

Objective:
Sleep disorders (SD) are prevalent in PLWH, but poorly addressed in HIV care. We evaluated the effectiveness of a multi-dimensional program for SD in an outpatient HIV clinic.

Methods:
Interventional study in 175 PLWH on ART suffering from insomnia. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), sleep quality, mood disorders, and well-being were assessed at baseline and at month 6th after counselling for sleep hygiene and referral to tailored pharmacological and/or neuropsychological interventions. Participants were classified as fully, partial, and non-adherent (FA-PA-NA) to the interventions. Mixed-effects models and longitudinal paired tests evaluated the impact of adherence to interventions on SD overtime.

Results:
Participants (male 65.7%, median age 51 years, 95.4% with viral suppression) were referred to psychologist (94.8%), psychiatrist (9.1%), and neurologist (2.8%), and 30.3% and 20.5% had indication to hypo-inducing drugs and psychotherapy/cognitive-behavioral therapy. Seventy-seven participants (44.0%) were NA, 9.1% PA, and 46.8% FA. ISI improved in all, but the strongest effect size was seen in FA (D = 0.89, p < 0.001). Perceived wellness improved only in FA, and hours slept per night increased in all but more relevantly in FA and PA (both p < 0.001). In adjusted models, adherence to the interventions ISI decreased (improve) overtime only in FA (aβ=-1.24, p = 0.005 vs NA; aβ=-0.71, p = 0.349 for PA vs NA).

Conclusions:
The introduction of multidimensional programs for SD can reduce the prevalence and severity of insomnia and improve sleep quality and wellness in PLWH. Such approach should be integrated into daily multidisciplinary clinical practice for HIV care.
We are the sensors of consciousness! A review and analysis on how awakenings during sleep influence dream recall
Authors: Stucky Benjamin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractPurposeSince the 1930s, researchers have awakened people from different stages of sleep to record what they have experienced. While some aspects, including asking whether participants had dreams or thoughts before awakening, largely remain the same, others, such as the method of awakening, vary greatly. In addition, it is often assumed that the influence of participant characteristics, such as personality traits, motivation, memory, and attention, is reduced by collecting experiences immediately after they occur, rather than through delayed morning recall. However, the extent to which these variables influence dream recall upon awakening has not yet been thoroughly investigated.Materials and methodsTo explore possible contextual and individual influences, this review analyzed 69 awakening studies conducted between 2000 and 2024 and utilized the DREAM database. Differences between sleep stages were quantified and experiences analyzed using the categories ‘with recall’, ‘without recall’, and ‘no report’.ResultsSimilar levels of null reports were found in NREM stage 2 and stage 3. Significant factors affecting dream recall included the method of awakening (lower recall with an alarm compared to calling the participant’s name), the number of study days (reduced recall for multiple days) and the sleep environment (higher recall at home compared to the laboratory), along with participant characteristics beyond age, sex and study design. Recall rates from NREM sleep are particularly sensitive to the method of awakening and interindividual differences.ConclusionBoth the awakening procedure and participant characteristics influence the amount of reported sleep experiences, which can impact study outcomes, such as the identification of neural correlates of consciousness. Therefore, greater emphasis needs to be placed on how experiences are collected and on participant characteristics, such as openness to experience or familiarity with different states of consciousness.Plain Language SummaryHave you ever wondered how often you dream while you sleep? We reviewed 69 studies where people were woken up to share their experiences. They reported dreaming most of the time, even in deep sleep. You might ask, “Why don’t I remember much in the morning then?” Well, maybe you forgot your dream because a lot of time has passed. These studies capture the experience right after it happens, but even then, some people remember dreams more than others. This could be because they are more focused on their dreams. How you wake up also matters. If someone shakes you awake, you may forget your dream, but if they gently call your name, you have a better chance of remembering it. You might also fail to recognize more subtle experiences, such as a sense of calm. So perhaps sleep is not as unconscious as we thought, leaving much to be explored in future studies.

Published: November 2024

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the impact of technological turbulence on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in Chinese e-commerce enterprises. It also examines the mediating roles of business ties and political ties, and the moderating effect of transaction uncertainty on these relationships.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 173 Chinese e-commerce enterprises was analyzed using survey data. Structural equation modeling was employed to test the proposed hypotheses, including the direct effects of technological turbulence on EO, the mediating roles of business and political ties, and the moderating effect of transaction uncertainty.FindingsThe results indicate a positive correlation between technological turbulence and EO. Business ties mediate the relationship between technological turbulence and EO, while political ties do not. Transaction uncertainty negatively moderates the relationship between business ties and EO but does not significantly affect the relationship between political ties and EO. Additionally, EO positively impacts market performance.Originality/valueThis study extends the understanding of how external environmental factors, such as technological turbulence, influence EO in the context of Chinese e-commerce. It highlights the differential roles of business and political ties and provides insights into the moderating effects of transaction uncertainty. The findings offer practical implications for e-commerce firms seeking to enhance their entrepreneurial capabilities in turbulent environments.

PurposeThe construction industry has been investigating “where Henry Ford is in the industry system.” Given that listed construction enterprises are the backbone of the promotion of the high-quality development of the industry, their research and innovation are of considerable importance. This study aims to comprehensively assess the research and development (R&D) status quo and trends within various types of construction enterprises in order to identify effective strategies to enhance R&D efficiency in the construction industry.Design/methodology/approachBased on the data won from annual reports and the CSMAR database for the period 2016–2020, this study examines 104 listed construction enterprises in China. By applying both the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method and the Malmquist productivity index, this research compares and analyzes the static and dynamic differences in R&D efficiency across different types of construction enterprises.FindingsResults suggest that the magnitude of change in the Malmquist decomposition index of 104 listed construction enterprises gradually narrowed, but the comprehensive technological level remained relatively low. Although state-owned enterprises had an advantage in scale efficiency, meaning they could maximize output with given inputs, their technological progress efficiency, also known as the degree of technological innovation, was significantly lower than that of private enterprises. As one finding, state-owned enterprises in comparison with private enterprises experience significant R&D inefficiency. It represents the main cause of their low degree of technological innovation and efficiency.Originality/valueThis study assesses the R&D efficiency of listed construction enterprises in China from the perspective of different market segments, state-owned and private enterprises and suggests approaches to improve strategies for various corporate types. Thus, the study’s new findings contribute to addressing the challenge of low R&D levels in the construction industry in the fields of engineering, construction and architectural management.
Strategies to recruit and retain generation Z in the built environment sector
Authors: Ling Florence Yean Yng , Lew Eunice Jing Yi 
Published: November 2024

PurposeGeneration Z built environment (BE) undergraduates and graduates (Zoomers) are the latest cohort entering the job market. Existing research has yet to comprehensively explore approaches for attracting and engaging Zoomer employees within the BE sector. This study aims to identify effective strategies for recruiting and retaining Zoomers in the BE sector.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods research design comprising survey and interviews with Zoomers was employed. Data were collected from Zoomers via an online survey using a structured questionnaire and interviews.FindingsThe first finding, job flexibility, is the most important job motivator. Zoomers seek hybrid work arrangements, and a mix of fieldwork and desk bound work. The second finding, “earned media” (and not “owned media”), is an important way to attract Zoomers. As savvy digital natives, Zoomers rely on reviews about the organization posted on independent online platforms or employees’ own social media accounts. The third finding is the diminishing role of family in Zoomers’ decision-making about their careers.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings are limited to Zoomers’ views about recruitment and retention within the BE sector.Practical implicationsRecommendations are offered to organizations on strategic job redesign and increasing “earned media” to attract Zoomers.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to understanding Zoomers’ approach to recruitment and retention based on Herzberg’s motivation-hygiene theory. Herzberg’s hygiene factors, which are essential benefits such as salary and career progression, remain important. The novel finding is the discovery of specific human resource (HR) practices that Zoomers consider to be hygiene factors, whereas older generations view them as “good-to-have” motivators. This underscores the intergenerational divergence in attitudes towards recruitment and retention in the BE sector.

Published: November 2024

PurposeWith the rise in international construction projects, addressing the psychological health concerns of expatriate construction professionals (EXCPs) has become of paramount importance. Therefore, this study aims to identify and evaluate effective intervention measures to promote optimal psychological health and well-being in overseas working environments.Design/methodology/approachIntervention measures were identified through a comprehensive literature review. Subsequently, using a case study of Chinese international contractors, data were collected via a quantitative survey administered to EXCPs holding managerial positions in international construction projects. Fuzzy synthetic evaluation was employed to analyze the data.FindingsThe findings identified 23 intervention measures and 4 constructs, among them, measures focused on enhancing organizational justice and training practices offer the greatest potential for enhancing the psychological health and well-being during international assignments. Furthermore, the analysis showed that the overall criticality of the intervention measures to the international contractors is significant, suggesting that if put into practice, the psychological health and well-being of EXCPs can be significantly enhanced.Originality/valueWhile prior research has explored intervention measures suitable for construction professionals working on domestic projects, little attention has been paid to EXCPs in the context of international construction projects. This study offers an initial exploration of the most crucial intervention measures and provides a valuable resource for policymakers and practitioners seeking to establish a psychologically healthy working environment for international construction projects.

Published: November 2024

Learning outcomes
This case study is designed to enable learners to narrow and identify the right customer subset in relation to a handicraft organization. After completion of the case study, the students will be able to integrate advanced frameworks for outlining the importance of product features in context to Indian handicrafts, to link the implications of product attributes as a differentiation strategy, to articulate the appropriate strategies for customer retention and to critically simulate the adoption of niche marketing imperative when making a decision to scale the business.

Case overview/synopsis
Design Clinic India was a globally renowned, multi-disciplinary design studio specializing in exquisite furniture and decorative lights, deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of the emerging economy of India. It was founded in 2016 by the visionary Mr Parth Parikh, a master of product design hailing from New Delhi, India. The brand firmly believed that the vibrant essence of each creation portrayed the cultural diversity of the nation. During the formative years, the brand witnessed exceptional momentum in the sales figures. However, over the time, sales started depriving and Parikh feared the survival of his business. In the first place, he was confounded with the dilemma of how to retain customers in the long run, and how to keep his business in pace. Furthermore, he also faced a tough competition from the market in terms of differentiating his authentic products from the cheap replicas of his brand’s designs to streak ahead in the market space. It became challenging for companies to align their creative vision with market realities and customer expectations while also creating a balance between innovation and commercial viability. As a passionate entrepreneur, Parikh had to think a way out for the finest strategy for his label!

Complexity academic level
This case study comprises of conceptual schemes in context to product features, aesthetics and marketing of handicrafts. It can be used in advanced business courses, particularly in the fields of entrepreneurship, marketing, strategic management, decision-making and business planning. This case study can also address the separate components of niche marketing, customer retention and export of Indian handicrafts. For the aspect of niche marketing, the context from the textbook titled “Marketing Management” by Kotler et al. would be required (pp. 201–203). For product features, the latest edition of the textbook titled “Marketing” by Etzel et al., can be used (particularly, the material from pp. 277–281). Furthermore, the case can also be used in various capstone courses falling under the chapters of small businesses and differentiation strategy.

On an ego trip: the relationship between supervisory responsibility and leader altruistic behavior
Authors: Funk Stephanie 
Published: November 2024

PurposeProminent corporate scandals involving companies like Wirecard, Enron, VW and Tyco underscore the corrupting influence of power, with leaders often engaging in antisocial behaviors. Provoked by this, this study investigates the relationship between supervisory responsibility and one specific dimension of altruistic behavior. Understanding the dynamics of how structural power, particularly supervisory responsibility, associates with altruistic behavior is essential for organizations, given the well-documented advantages of altruistic leaders in terms of performance, innovation or ethical leadership.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon the approach-inhibition theory of power, this article proposes that individuals with greater structural power in terms of prolonged duration and greater scope of supervisory responsibility will show diminished altruistic behavior. Following theoretical considerations, power influences leaders’ behavior by decreasing attentiveness, reducing empathy and increasing self-focus. The study uses recent German linked employer-employee data to test the relationship between supervisory responsibility and one specific dimension of leader altruistic behavior (n = 2,752).FindingsThe results support that a prolonged duration and a greater scope of supervisory responsibility correlate negatively with the dimension of leader altruistic behavior under study.Originality/valueThe research empirically validates the findings on behavioral consequences of structural power from experimental settings for organizational leaders by explicitly focusing on the duration and the scope of supervisory responsibility. The findings provide useful insights for organizations concerning leader selection and leader governance mechanisms.
The role of personal and cultural values on saving behavior: a cross-national analysis
Authors: Cruz Luiz Alves , Peñaloza Verónica , Porto Nilton , An Ting 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis study investigates the relationship between human values and saving behavior, focusing on both personal and cultural values.Design/methodology/approachThe research utilizes data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey (2017–2020) covering 67,278 respondents across 48 countries and the Hofstede Insights (2024). The study employs principal component analysis to validate the measurement of personal values and multilevel logit regression to explore the associations between personal (individual level) and cultural (country level) values and saving behavior.FindingsThe findings, grounded in the functional theory of values, indicate that individuals with personal values oriented toward individual goals and survival needs are more likely to save money, whereas those with values centered on social orientation and thriving needs are less inclined to save. On a cultural level, individualistic societies tend to save more, while countries with high levels of uncertainty avoidance are associated with lower saving behavior.Practical implicationsThis study provides further evidence that human values are important components of household savings behavior. Policymakers and stakeholders interested in fostering saving behavior should be aware of the role played by personal and cultural values when designing impactful policies and interventions. This process might involve encouraging survival traits and reducing economic uncertainty.Originality/valueThis study provides a comprehensive analysis of how personal and cultural values shape saving behavior across different societies. It contributes to the literature by highlighting the interplay between individual and societal factors in financial decision-making.
Understanding self-fulfillment: principals’ perspectives in special education for complex disabilities
Authors: Dor-Haim Peleg 
Published: November 2024

PurposeThis study examined the diverse expressions of self-fulfillment among principals working in Israel’s special education system for complex disabilities. It addressed two primary questions: (1) What are the perceived manifestations of self-fulfillment among principals in the context of complex disabilities? (2) What examples of self-fulfillment do these school principals provide?Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a qualitative methodology to explore the experiences of self-fulfillment among principals in Israel’s special education system for complex disabilities. Special education principals in this context are school leaders whose responsibilities focus solely on managing schools dedicated to children with severe and complex disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities. Semi-structured, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 17 school principals, providing an in-depth understanding of their perspectives and experiences.FindingsThe study identified four patterns of self-fulfillment expressed by the participants: fulfillment in students’ advancement, fulfillment in facilitating social change, fulfillment through inclusive relationships and fulfillment as a mission and calling.Originality/valueWhile self-fulfillment is acknowledged as a common work experience, the expressions and meanings attributed to it by principals working exclusively in special education settings have not been explicitly investigated. By examining the distinct context of special education for complex disabilities, where principals’ roles are driven by a sense of calling and social significance, this study revealed unique manifestations of self-fulfillment. These differ from the career-focused fulfillment seen in for-profit organizations.
