The role of HR practices, big data analytics capabilities and supply chain resilience in achieving firm disaster immunity: the moderating effect of data-driven culture
Authors: Yamin Mohammad Ali Yousef 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe rising global competition and uncertainty in business environment has led logistics firms to redesign supply chain strategies which boost disaster immunity. Therefore, the current study develops an integrated research framework that combines big data analytics capability, HR practices, resilience and resource reconfiguration to investigate logistic firm disaster immunity. In addition to that, the moderating effect of data-driven culture is tested between disaster immunity and supply chain performance.Design/methodology/approachThe research design of this study is based on quantitative techniques and followed by positivist research paradigm. Data are collected through structured questionnaires. Overall, 219 managers have participated in this logistics research survey. Data are computed with structural equation modeling approach.FindingsStatistical findings have revealed that collectively HR practices, innovation capability, proactive capability, reactive capability, resource configuration and supply chain resilience explained R2 71.5% variance in disaster immunity. Therefore, in the extended model, disaster immunity and data-driven culture have depicted R2 49.2% variance in manufacturing firm supply chain performance.Practical implicationsThe integration of big data analytics capability factors with HR practices, supply chain resilience and resource configuration has enriched logistic literature in the disaster immunity setting. Practically, this study has concluded that factors such as data analytics capabilities, resource reconfiguration, supply chain resilience and HR practices need policymakers’ attention to boost disaster immunity and supply chain performance.Originality/valueThis research is original as it unveils three core factors of big data analytics capability, namely proactive, reactive and innovative capability, and examines firm disaster immunity. Similarly, research is unique as it combines capability factors with resilience, HR practices and resource reconfiguration and investigates logistic firm disaster immunity.
Identifying high-growth firms in five European countries: micro firms vs. larger firms
Authors: Rico-Belda Paz , Cabrer-Borrás Bernardí 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThis study uses an extensive sample of firms from Germany, France, UK, Portugal and Spain with the aim of obtaining conclusive results on the determinants that drive a firm to be high-growth firm (HGF). This sample includes micro firms, which are not generally considered in the literature. There are several reasons to take them into account: not excluding an important part of the business fabric, the results can be extrapolated, the study can show if micro firms also present high growth and if there are differences in the factors that determine the probability of being an HGF between both segments of firms.Design/methodology/approachA multivariate dynamic model of binary choice is used to analyse the probability of a company being classified as high growth. Then, with the Blinder and Oaxaca decomposition, the differences in the probability of being an HGF between micro firms and non-micro firms are studied.FindingsThe results show that HGFs demonstrate persistence, and younger firms are more likely to be HGFs. Micro firms also register high growth, although they are less dynamic and show a negative differential with respect to larger firms as highlighted by the characteristic component.Originality/valueIn some countries, such as Spain and Portugal, micro firms predominate, and these tend to be less dynamic, so to identify how to improve business dynamics, the factors that limit the growth of this type of company must first be determined. In this paper, in line with Acs and Mueller (2008), we therefore include firms with less than ten employees so as not to exclude an important part of the business fabric and to ascertain whether this type of firm also shows high growth.

Authors: Khatir Nadjet , Madani Hassiba 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe present study aims to analyze the impact of digital transformation on achieving outstanding performance in educational administration, improving and developing electronic services and facilitating beneficiaries’ access to services.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied descriptive/analytical quantitative and qualitative methodologies to a sample of 206 employees from an educational administration. Confirmatory inferential analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship and mutual impact between the variables under examination by Structural Equation Modeling requirements.FindingsThe study found that the model effectively explained the phenomenon being studied with digital transformation efforts in infrastructure, human resources and culture, as hypothesized. However, an unexpected negative relationship was found between the transformation strategy and outstanding performance. Interviews with the participants confirmed gradual improvements in various aspects of the digital transformation.Practical implicationsThis study underscores the immediate and tangible benefits of transitioning from traditional to advanced electronic governments. This transformation is necessary and highly advantageous, as it bolsters the administration’s ability to meet technical, professional and human requirements, elevating the educational system’s overall performance.Originality/valueThis study stands out for its unique focus on digital transformation as an independent variable, a perspective evaluated using four indicators. The study’s exploration of how these factors influence the performance of the directorate of education is a significant contribution to the field. The study’s approach saves time, effort and money and enhances employee performance and task completion speed with good quality and efficiency, thereby improving services for the educational system’s beneficiaries.

Authors: Sherwani Karwan H. , Demir Ahmet , Maroof Lubna 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe primary aim of the current study is to validate the theoretical model presented by Demir (2021a, b, c) via empirical evidence. In this respect, the study intends to offer a holistic pathway for obtaining both external and internal advantages from the implementation of ISO 9001, with a particular emphasis on developing countries.Design/methodology/approachThe research utilized an empirical methodology to investigate the research objective. Data were collected from various sources, including employees and managers of the various companies. In this context, a model was developed, and 170 data points were collected from businesses in the Kurdistan region of Iraq in order to test the hypotheses in this model.FindingsAfter the collected data passed the reliability and validity test, the hypotheses designed were tested by applying the partial least squares method. When the results were examined, it was observed that organizational culture and organizational learning variables were the two key antecedents that these factors would emerge after applying ISO 9001 practices with discipline for a certain period of time and that organizational benefits could be obtained only as a result of them. Detailed results and suggestions were given to managers and theorists as a result of the analysis.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature as an empirical application of the theoretical work written by Demir in 2021. Demir's work, which produced a theoretical concept based on many empirical and theoretical studies done before, still needs much more empirical work in developing countries.

“It’s that gut feeling isn’t it”: general practitioner experiences of safeguarding in care homes for older people
Authors: White Caroline , Alton Elisabeth 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
General practitioners (GPs) play an important role in adult safeguarding. However, their experiences of this role have received scant attention in the UK and internationally. This study aimed to explore their experiences of safeguarding within care homes (CHs) for older adults where, as they are among the practitioner groups most frequently visiting, they are well-positioned to contribute to bringing abuse and neglect to light.

Design/methodology/approach
This study involved qualitative methods. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with 12 GPs to explore their experiences of safeguarding in CHs. This included the issues that prompted their concerns, actions taken in response, difficulties and dilemmas experienced, CH safeguarding during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thematic analysis was undertaken, taking an inductive approach to the analysis.

Findings
GPs seldom witnessed what they considered clear signs of abuse/neglect, but instead more frequently observed “softer”, more ambiguous signs. They undertook a range of actions in response to these, in addition to formally reporting concerns. They experienced difficulties and dilemmas in respect of the hidden nature of abuse, uncertainty about the legitimacy of their concerns and thresholds for reporting, as well as dilemmas associated with the need to preserve essential working relationships with CHs, yet avoiding collusion with staff.

Originality/value
Although GPs play an important role in identifying signs of abuse/neglect, this role has been little explored to date. Their safeguarding role within CHs has been especially neglected, and the authors are aware of no other studies that have explored GPs’ roles and experiences in this context, within or outwith the UK.
Assessing the sovereign-bank interdependence in Eurozone core countries
Authors: Capasso Salvatore , D’Uva Marcella , Fiorelli Cristiana , Napolitano Oreste 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThe aim of this study is to determine whether financial contagion is transmitted through macroeconomic fundamentals, not only in weaker countries but also in strong European Monetary Union (EMU) economies.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducts, for the first time, an analysis of the spillover effects resulting from a shock to Italian sovereign risk on the banking systems and credit default swaps (CDS) of five EMU core countries during the period 2012–2018, employing a global vector autoregressive (GVAR) approach. Spatial interdependence is quantified through the cross-country distance in the deficit-to-gross domestic product (GDP) ratio.FindingsThe findings reveal the existence of both a “doom-loop” between banks and sovereign bonds and a “bad neighbours” effect. The susceptibility to spillovers is notably higher in economies displaying a larger deficit-to-GDP ratio. These results suggest that differences in fiscal fundamentals could drive financial contagion even within core countries, indicating a need for evaluating the stability of the entire EMU system.Originality/valueUnlike previous studies, we utilize the cross-country distance in the deficit-to-GDP ratio as a measure of fiscal fundamentals distance for the countries under investigation. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to analyse this matter in EMU core countries using a GVAR methodology.

Authors: Bartolomeu Pires Sandra , Portillo Mari Carmen , Achterberg Wilco 
Published: September 2024

PurposeThis article aims to gather lessons from a research interchange between England and The Netherlands, reflecting on the countries’ delivery of integrated care across adult and elderly long-term care and how to transfer learning across contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe paper describes the Dutch health and care system, using four key components of integrated care described in the literature: person-centred, expert knowledge, continuity and coordination.FindingsThe Dutch deliver integrated care expertise in each component assessed. The weakest integrated care characteristics in England are multi-sectoral coordination and person-centred care.Originality/valueThis article develops an overview of integrated care delivery in The Netherlands and puts a spotlight on the importance of exchanging real-world experiences, not just evidence-based, to collaboratively improve integrated care in England. There is no need to reinvent the all-wheel, a lot of good is already done, tested and proved.

Authors: Syarif Muhammad Fazlurrahman , Aysan Ahmet Faruk 
Published: September 2024

Purpose
This study aims to understand the practices and rules of Sharia crowdfunding policies in Indonesia given the rapid growth of financial technology and the increasing importance of crowdfunding as a funding alternative for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

Design/methodology/approach
This study used qualitative methods, exploratory methods and literature studies for data collection. The focus is on understanding the regulatory environment and institutional framework that support Sharia crowdfunding in Indonesia.

Findings
Despite a specific law regulating Sharia crowdfunding, several authoritative institutions in Indonesia offer FinTech, crowdfunding and Sharia crowdfunding services. Some regulations have been issued, such as Bank Indonesia Regulation Number 19/12/PBI/2017 and Financial Services Authority (OJK) Regulation Number 37/POJK.04/2018, which was later amended to Number 57/POJK.04/2020. This study emphasizes the crucial role of OJK in providing security guarantees for implementing FinTech, including crowdfunding. At the same time, Sharia crowdfunding also follows fatwas issued by DSN-MUI.

Research limitations/implications
This study describes Sharia crowdfunding policies in Indonesia and indicates that further research could delve deeper into specific cases and examine the impact of these policies on the growth and sustainability of Sharia crowdfunding.

Practical implications
This study underlines the need to enhance Sharia crowdfunding standards and to create rules that explicitly address this issue. This has implications for regulatory authorities, FinTech companies and MSMEs seeking to leverage Sharia crowdfunding.

Social implications
This study suggests potential social implications, including a more inclusive financial system that complies with Islamic principles and supports MSMEs' growth.

Originality/value
This study is unique in its focus on Sharia crowdfunding policies in Indonesia, providing a comprehensive view of the regulatory landscape and existing institutional framework.
The more creative, the more silent? The effect of subordinates’ creative deviance on leader silence
Authors: Wen Shan Shan , Zhang Long , Zhang Kai , Ouyang Min 
Published: September 2024

PurposeSilence is a commonly seen phenomenon at the workplace. However, little is known about the cause and effect of leader silence. Drawing on the affective events theory, we develop a moderated mediation model to examine the effect of subordinates’ creative deviance on leader's authoritative silence and test the moderating effect of subordinates’ political skills.Design/methodology/approachOur research adopts a novel bottom-up perspective to investigate the subordinates’ influence on leader silence. A two-wave survey study involving 196 corporate team leaders in China was employed.FindingsWe found that leader’s workplace anxiety mediated the relationship between subordinates' creative deviance and leader's authoritative silence and subordinates’ political skills moderated the mediating effect.Originality/valueOur research contributes to the leader silence literature in three folds. First, we employ the AET framework to study leader silence from the emotional perspective. Second, this research adopts a bottom-up angle to reveal the influence of subordinates’ behavior on leader silence. Third, the political skills lens offers novel explanation of why the anxious emotions triggered by followers’ creative deviance vary among leaders.
