Understanding employee longevity in independent fine dining restaurants
Authors: DiPietro Robin , Martin Drew , Pratt Thomas 
Published: July 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate talent management (TM) practices of independent fine dining restaurant (FDR) organizations and explores why employee retention rates in FDRs are higher than other restaurants. This research adds to the TM literature by surfacing attitudes and influences that lead to employee retention.Design/methodology/approachThe present study collects data using McCracken’s (1988) long interview method to provide insights into value similarities and differences between employees and independent restaurant managers. Fourteen interviews at two independent FDRs inform the results. This study employs a grounded theory approach.FindingsStudy results show that people take pride in working for the restaurants and the culture within the restaurant inspires a higher level of self-esteem. This independent, family-owned environment helps employees and managers achieve higher work performance and satisfy overall lifestyle needs. Respondents report their employment helps them to do things that bring out the best in them and allows them to accomplish other things that they want in life. The study also suggests that a shared value system between employees and managers creates a more stable workforce and longer tenure.Research limitations/implicationsThe current study examines only two independent family-owned FDRs, so generalization is limited. The current study uses grounded theory to expand on research in the TM literature.Practical implicationsIf owners and managers of FDR focus on addressing employees’ higher-order motivational needs, they have a better chance of retaining employees. Losing productive employees has high direct and indirect costs, and the restaurant industry is plagued with high turnover. Independent restaurants also need to evaluate their new employee orientations because unstructured training contributes to an environment of uncertainty. Developing a positive culture in an FDR is possible with a focused, family-oriented business. This work culture takes time to develop. Recruiting and selection methods to ensure a fit with the culture and values are a cost-effective method to ensure the continuation of this culture. The consistent values between employees and managers in this study demonstrate that hiring for personal values and not necessarily for skills already developed helps with positive TM in FDR.Originality/valueThe current study extends the knowledge in TM, ecological systems theory and motivational needs-based theory through detailed interviews and value analyses. Long interviews and triangulation of the data surface conscious and nonconscious memories from both employees and managers specifically relating to employee retention factors in FDR.
Social networks and their effects on the choice of contraceptive use and method in Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Md Shahidul 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of social networks on contraceptive adoption in Bangladesh.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from 430 couples; the age of men was between 15 and 49 years. χ2 test was applied to test the association between independent variables and current contraceptive use. Binary logistic regression was applied to examine the effects of social network on contraceptive use, and multinomial logistic regression was applied to examine the effect of social network on the choice of method.

Findings
Results from binary logistic regression reveal that social networks of both men (OR=2.71, 95% CI=1.371−5.354) and women (OR= 3.597, 95% CI=1.754−7.380) had a strong positive effect on current contraceptive use. The result from multinomial logistic regression also shows that men’s social network (OR= 2.74, 95% CI= 1.356−5.548) and women’s social network (OR=4.165,95% CI=1.958−8.860) were also associated with choosing a modern contraceptive method.

Originality/value
Social networks have a significant effect on current contraceptive use and modern method choice in Bangladesh. A social network approach should be included in family planning program in Bangladesh.
Servant leaders, ethical followers? The effect of servant leadership on employee deviance
Authors: Paesen Heidi , Wouters Kristel , Maesschalck Jeroen 
Published: July 2019

PurposeLeadership is considered to be a crucial situational factor in predicting and explaining employee deviance. The purpose of this paper therefore is to investigate the relationship between servant leadership on the one hand and employee deviance on the other. While previous studies on the impact of servant leadership on employee deviance typically aggregated all its dimensions into a single scale, this study also explores the impact of the various dimensions of servant leadership separately.Design/methodology/approachData were collected via an online survey in two ministries of the Belgian Federal Government (n=3,445). The analyses were conducted using confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear and negative binomial regression analysis.FindingsThe empirical results suggest that the generic servant leadership scale has the expected negative, protective effect on both self-reported and observer-reported employee deviance. As for the dimensions, the authors found that only the “putting subordinates first” dimension had a significant negative, protective effect on both self-reported and observer-reported employee deviance. The dimensions “behaving ethically” and “emotional healing” negatively impacted only observer-reported employee deviance and the dimension “creating value for society” negatively impacted only self-reported employee deviance. Surprisingly, the dimension “empowering” had a significant positive, strengthening effect on both self-reported and observer-reported employee deviance.Originality/valueWhile most research assesses servant leadership’s impact on desirable behaviour, this study is about its impact on employee deviance. Also unlike most previous research, this study looks not only at the overall effect of servant leadership, but also at the impact of the various dimensions of servant leadership separately.
Leadership and governance frameworks driving transformational change in an entrepreneurial UK university
Authors: Purcell Wendy Maria , Chahine Teresa 
Published: July 2019

PurposeDisruptive megatrends, such as technology and globalization, are driving transformational change in universities as they seek to differentiate themselves given economic and social market forces. However, higher education (HE) institutions can struggle to achieve change at the scale and speed needed, given their pluralistic nature and competing goals. As primarily collegiate organizations run by academics, leadership and governance are by persuasion and consensus over diktat. A retrospective analysis of the transformational journey of a UK university that set its radical new mission to become “the Enterprise University” has been undertaken, and a new leadership and governance framework articulated. The paper aims to discuss this issue.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon a conceptual framework of leadership and governance to codify change management and its acceleration, the change journey in a university undergoing a strategic transformation has been analyzed. Leadership and organizational frameworks are examined focusing on the interactions between the senior management hierarchy (SMH), as the command-control operating system, and the adaptive community of social networks within the university and external stakeholders. The critical steps in effecting institutional change and the nature of the social agreements underpinning transformation are subject to retrospective analysis. How ideas flowed through the organization to create value through innovation is reviewed.FindingsAnalyses reveal how the SMH worked with the adaptive social networks of staff and stakeholders in concert around a shared purpose, identifying enablers and barriers to a healthy idea flow. Drawing on the leadership and governance framework empowers organizational transformation, paying more deliberate attention to the stewardship of ideas and how change actually happens. To thrive in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments and sustain competitive advantage in a dynamic global market place, leaders need to be able to harness the social forces and inspire people to take actions around a shared vision of the future.Originality/valueUniversities represent a traditional community of knowledge workers and service professionals where approaches to leadership and governance are typically collegiate and consensual. Examining the strategic transformation of a university seeking to move at pace to accommodate the global disruption of the HE sector is relevant to how change happens in related environments. Given the growth of the knowledge economy, represented as organizations and networks, key lessons are available. The importance of activating people around shared purpose through deliberate engagement by leaders with social networks is relevant to delivering transformation in conditions of super complexity.
Perceptions and reasons for legume consumption in Mexico
Authors: Monge Adriana , Macias Lorena , Campos Hannia , Lajous Martin , Mattei Josiemer 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
Legume consumption has decreased in Mexico as part of a global nutrition transition that has shifted the intake of healthy traditional foods to more processed unhealthy foods. This study aims to assess preferences and patterns of legumes consumption, attitudes toward legumes and reasons to consume legumes among adults in Mexico City.

Design/methodology/approach
A convenience sample of 86 adult participants living in the Mexico City region completed interviewer–administered surveys.

Findings
The participants had an average age of 42.9 years (SD 13.5) and 51.2 per cent were women. Most reported consuming legumes = 1/week (59.5 per cent) and =1/3 cup/meal (52.4 per cent) and using corn tortillas to accompany legumes (83.3 per cent). Participants reported consuming 7 out of 15 types of legumes probed, of which black beans (96 per cent), lentils (79 per cent) and garbanzo beans (64 per cent) were more frequently consumed. Participants had positive (vs negative) perceptions about legumes’ taste (96 per cent), nutritional value (88 per cent), tradition (80 per cent), cost (75 per cent), availability (75 per cent) and health effect (73 per cent), but not for their digestive effect (37 per cent). The main reasons for participants to currently consume legumes were their taste (93 per cent), nutritional value (49 per cent) and affordable cost (48 per cent); whereas main reasons for potentially consuming more legumes were their nutritional value (63 per cent) and health effect (64 per cent).

Practical implications
Legume intake in Mexico is lower than the recommended 1.5-2 servings per day (1 serving = 1/2 cup), despite favorable perceptions and reasons to consume them. The identified characteristics, attitudes and reasons for consuming legumes could inform interventions to increase intake of this traditional food in Mexico.

Originality/value
Studies on attitude and reasons for food consumption are seldom conducted, yet they are valuable in shaping tailored strategies for eating behavior change.
Comparing global and situational support for police use of force across immigrant generations and native-born Americans
Authors: Choi Jaeyong 
Published: July 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine if global and situational support for police use of force vary across first-generation immigrants, second-generation immigrants and native-born Americans.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on data from the 2012 General Social Survey, multivariate logistic regression models are performed to predict each of the three binary outcome variables (e.g. support for police use of reasonable force or excessive force) depending on immigrant generation status.FindingsResults indicate that, compared with native-born individuals, first-generation immigrants express less global support for police use of force and less support for police use of reasonable force. In contrast, the first-generation group is more supportive of police use of excessive force compared to the second-generation group and native-born group.Originality/valueMuch research on immigrants’ perceptions of the police has yielded conflicting findings. Part of the reason has been attributed to failure to distinguish first-generation immigrants from successive generations of immigrants. The present study fills a gap in this line of research by assessing the extent to which there is a disparity in support for police use of force between different generations of immigrants and native-born individuals.
Do bank independency and diversification affect bank failures in Europe?
Authors: Mili Mehdi , Khayati Anis , Khouaja Amira 
Published: July 2019

Purpose
Motivated by agency theory, this paper aims to explore the impact of bank diversification and bank independency on the likelihood of bank failure. The effects of corporate governance (ownership and board structures) are also examined.

Design/methodology/approach
Logistic regressions are used to explore the role of corporate governance on bank failure risk. This sample covers 608 banks from eight European countries.

Findings
The results suggest that the well-documented finding that diversification and bank independency may increase bank failure risk does not persist under strong corporate governance mechanism. Thus, to reduce the bank failure risk, diversification should be strongly monitored by the management to avoid excessive risk-taking by shareholders.

Originality/value
The approach used in this study differs from that used in previous studies from certain perspectives. First, unlike most previous studies that focused on the relationship between bank performance and bank diversification, the impact of income and asset diversification on bank failure is tested. Also, the impact of a combined effect of diversification and corporate governance variables on bank failure is tested. This allows the control for different ownership and board variables as factors that would potentially affect the likelihood of bank failure.
Extraction Conditions Affect the Immunoreactivity of Peanut Allergens
Authors: Sharma Girdhari M. , Chatim Ajay , Ferguson Martine , Williams Kristina M. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractPeanut allergic consumers rely on food package labels to avoid foods containing peanut. The inadvertent presence of peanut in foods due to cross‐contact can be fatal if ingestion of such food leads to an allergic reaction. Analytical methods are available to detect undeclared peanut in foods. However, depending on the type of food matrix and food processing parameters, method performance can be adversely affected due to reduction in the extraction efficiency of peanut proteins. Temperature and probe sonication were used as a preincubation treatment for peanut flour slurries to assess their effect on the total peanut protein solubility from raw, light‐roasted, and dark‐roasted peanut flours. The effect of these treatments on the immunoreactivity of peanut allergens (Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, and Ara h 6) was determined by an indirect enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay using antibodies raised against these individual peanut proteins. Preincubation at 50 °C did not significantly improve the peanut protein solubility, whereas an increase in protein solubility was observed when light‐ and dark‐roasted peanut flour slurries were preincubated at 90 °C or sonicated. The immunoreactivity of peanut allergens varied depending on the degree of peanut flour roasting and type of preincubation treatment. Overall, the immunoreactivity of peanut allergens from most peanut flour slurries was unaffected when preincubated at 50 °C for up to 60 min or sonicated with a probe for up to 5 min, whereas preincubation at 90 °C resulted in a time‐dependent reduction in immunoreactivity of peanut allergens. Sonication treatment may improve peanut protein extraction without markedly affecting their immunoreactivity.Practical ApplicationExtraction of peanut proteins is vital for developed analytical methods to estimate peanut allergens in foods. The manuscript describes the effect of two different temperatures (50 and 90 °C) and probe‐type sonication on peanut protein solubility. The findings suggest sonication can improve peanut protein solubility without markedly affecting their immunoreactivity

AbstractKenaf belongs to the family Malvaceae noted for their economic and horticultural importance. Kenaf seed is a valuable component of kenaf plant. For several years, it has been primarily used as a cordage crop and secondarily as a livestock feed. The potential for using kenaf seeds as a source of food‐based products has not been fully exploited. Consumers are becoming more interested in naturally healthy plant‐based food products. Kenaf seed, the future crop with a rich source of essential nutrients and an excellent source of phytocompounds, might serve suitable roles in the production of value‐added plant‐based foods. At present kenaf seed and its value‐added components have not been effectively utilized for both their nutritional and functional properties as either ingredient or major constituent of food products. This review focuses on the possible food applications of kenaf seed and its value‐added components based on their nutritional composition and functional properties available in literature, with the purpose of providing an overview on the possible food applications of this underutilized seed. The review focuses on a brief introduction on kenaf plant, nutritional function, lipids and proteins composition and food applications of the seed. The review elaborately discusses the seed in terms of; bioactive components, antioxidants enrichment of wheat bread, antimicrobial agents, as edible flour, as edible oil and a source of protein in food system. The review closes with discussion on other possible food applications of kenaf seed. The need for food scientists and technologists to exploit this natural agricultural product as a value‐added food ingredient is of great significance and is emphasized.
Asset pricing and energy consumption risk
Authors: Lim Ashley , Lan Yihui , Treepongkaruna Sirimon 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThis paper proposes energy consumption in the US as a new measure for the consumption capital asset pricing model. We find that (i) industrial energy growth produces reasonable values for the relative risk aversion coefficient and the implied risk‐free rate; (ii) compared to alternative consumption measures, industrial energy performs well in explaining the cross‐sectional variation in stock returns with the lowest implied risk aversion and pricing errors; (iii) the industrial energy consumption risk model performs equally well as the Fama–French three‐factor model in the cross‐sectional asset pricing tests; and (iv) total energy consumption risk is priced in the presence of the Fama–French factor risks.
Runs of homozygosity and signatures of selection: a comparison among eight local Swiss sheep breeds

Published: July 2019

SummaryA dataset consisting of 787 animals with high‐density SNP chip genotypes (346 774 SNPs) and 939 animals with medium‐density SNP chip genotypes (33 828 SNPs) from eight indigenous Swiss sheep breeds was analyzed to characterize population structure, quantify genomic inbreeding based on runs of homozygosity and identify selection signatures. In concordance with the recent known history of these breeds, the highest genetic diversity was observed in Engadine Red sheep and the lowest in Valais Blacknose sheep. Correlation between FPED and FROH was around 0.50 and thereby lower than that found in similar studies in cattle. Mean FROH estimates from medium‐density data and HD data were highly correlated (0.95). Signatures of selection and candidate gene analysis revealed that the most prominent signatures of selection were found in the proximity of genes associated with body size (NCAPG, LCORL, LAP3, SPP1, PLAG1, ALOX12, TP53), litter size (SPP1), milk production (ABCG2, SPP1), coat color (KIT, ASIP, TBX3) and horn status (RXFP2). For the Valais Blacknose sheep, the private signatures in proximity of genes/QTL influencing body size, coat color and fatty acid composition were confirmed based on runs of homozygosity analysis. These private signatures underline the genetic uniqueness of the Valais Blacknose sheep breed. In conclusion, we identified differences in the genetic make‐up of Swiss sheep breeds, and we present relevant candidate genes responsible for breed differentiation in locally adapted breeds.

Authors: Schwarz Maria , Coccetti Anne , Cardell Elizabeth 
Published: July 2019

AbstractObjectivesDecision‐making around dysphagia management is becoming increasingly challenging due to the complexity of contexts associated with an ageing population. The current study explores current decision‐making practices used by speech language therapists (SLTs) surrounding contexts related to palliative care, dementia, neuro‐degenerative diseases, guardianship/family decisions, and other issues relevant to ongoing care of individuals with dysphagia.MethodsAn exploratory prospective electronic survey of SLTs was conducted. A total of 202 respondents were eligible for inclusion.ResultsOnly 55% of respondents reported their workplace had a standard approach to documentation. Only 19% reported their service had a defined policy to support decision‐making, with only 28% reporting the existence of patient information brochures.ConclusionLimited formal guidance or practice standards exist in the setting of complex dysphagia management, which limits the consistency of practice and clinical efficiency. This insight into current practices and perspectives supports the development of clinical guidelines.
