How do different forms of early employment instability affect future employment chances? A factorial survey experiment with employers
Authors: Shi Lulu P. 
Published: August 2024

PurposePeriodic economic instabilities and structural changes in the labour market have given rise to a variety of forms of job insecurity. This article compares the scarring effects of different forms of job insecurity on future employment chances, and how they vary across education groups.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of real vacancies and data collected in a vignette experiment with employers in Switzerland, a country with a strongly developed vocational education and training (VET) system, this article investigates how employers evaluate a period of unemployment, job hopping and work experience in deskilling jobs when hiring candidates.FindingsThe findings reveal that work in deskilling jobs is by far more scarring than unemployment or job hopping. The study also demonstrates that applicants with upper secondary vocational education are impacted the greatest by all three forms of job insecurity.Originality/valueThe study makes use of real vacancies. While experiments have the strength of high internal validity, most experimental studies in recruitment research rely on students as respondents. As this study works with real employers hiring for positions it benefits from high external validity.

Does global crude oil price transmit an asymmetric shock on food inflation? Evidence from south and southeast Asian economies
Authors: Mishra Amritkant , Dash Ajit Kumar , Padhan Purna Chandra 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis pragmatic investigation examines the dynamic nexus between crude oil prices and food inflation from South and Southeast Asian perspectives.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigates the asymmetric effects of global crude oil prices on food inflation using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with monthly data covering the period from May 2012 to April 2022.FindingsThe empirical evidence reveals that international crude oil has a substantial impact on food prices in the majority of countries. Additionally, the relevant outcome documents that the asymmetric effect of global crude oil on food inflation applies to Sri Lanka and Vietnam, while in the other countries, it is symmetric.Research limitations/implicationsConsidering the optimistic outcomes, this empirical investigation is certain to have important shortcomings. Initially, the conclusions drawn from the above findings were based only on detailed assessments of the aforementioned variables' data over a 10-year period. The current scholarly analysis investigates the existence of an asymmetric impact of crude oil on food inflation, limited to six Asian countries. On the other hand, considering a greater number of Asian economies could enhance the analysis’s robustness and precision.Originality/valueThe current research aims to contribute to the existing literature on food inflation and global oil prices in the following ways: First, this study investigates the nexus between global crude oil and food inflation in a novel way, considering the nonlinear relationship between the variables. To figure out the nonlinear relationship or uneven effect of the global oil shock on food prices, we use the nonlinear ARDL model. Secondly, as food inflation is one of the major issues for the South and Southeast Asian economies, this empirical investigation broadens the analysis by incorporating a perspective from South and Southeast Asia, an area largely overlooked by previous researchers. Finally, we are very optimistic about the phenomenal contribution of current analysis to comprehending the conception of oil and food price dynamics from a broader perspective to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), which aims for a sustainable resolution to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and to accomplish food security, especially in emerging economies.
Eliminating persistent racism from the workplace
Authors: Richardson Jo 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to share learning about practical steps that can be taken to eliminate persistent racism from the workplace, including racism by people who have cognitive impairments who do not understand the impact of their behaviours.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is informed by qualitative research. An independent researcher was commissioned to recruit 45 black British, black African and black Caribbean women living in Norfolk and working for a range of employers. Parameters were agreed in advance (aims, consent, data protection). A list of questions was provided to the researcher. The questions covered experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Data collection included face to face/online/telephone interviews, focus groups and questionnaires. The researcher recorded the women’s views and compiled them in a findings report. The report was shared with the women to confirm that their views had been recorded accurately. The author has also convened conversations with over 100 professionals representing providers of public services, including social and domiciliary care.

Findings
The author identified that it will be impossible for employers to eliminate persistent racism from their workplaces until all managers consistently and diligently address every report of racism effectively, in line with the steps set out in this paper. The purpose is to establish, over time, a workplace culture where racism is never tolerated or allowed to persist, and workers and managers learn – and become more confident – to recognise, address and eliminate racism at work. Until this is embedded, racism affecting workers will continue to go unchecked and unacknowledged in the workplace.

Research limitations/implications
The data gathered to inform this paper (specifically the research commissioned and described in this abstract, in addition to other data, such as conversations convened with professionals) is qualitative data. It cannot be assumed that the experiences of the people interviewed reflect the experiences of all people. However, the voices of participants have highlighted issues to inform future planning.

Practical implications
The author must be clear that, so far there has been no definitive solution to persistent racism in the workplace. The learning so far is being shared with the hope that this assists others with developing strategies to eliminate persistent racism.

Social implications
Workplaces across the UK are committed to eradicating racism. However, the rate of change is glacial. This research paper shares learning about how to address this, to increase the pace of change, to begin to genuinely eliminate persistent racism from the workplace.

Originality/value
To the author’s knowledge, the learning from this research is original and not replicated elsewhere.
Use of artificial intelligence (AI) in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC): community consultation on risks, benefits and the need for a code of practice
Authors: Griffiths Tom , Slaughter Rohan , Waller Annalu 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis paper reports on a workshop discussing the views of the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) community on the opportunities and risks posed by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into voice output communication aid systems. The views of the community on whether a Code of Practice was needed for the use of this new technology were also sought.Design/methodology/approachThis was an explorative, qualitative study in which members of the AAC community attending a session at a UK national conference were invited to discuss the topic, responding to structured questions from the research team. The use of AI for both novel language generation and rate enhancement was discussed within the session.FindingsMany potential opportunities and benefits of AI to AAC users were discussed by the group. Risks associated with new and existing biases in AI language models were raised, as was the need to ensure that outputs generated by AI were authentically authored by users. Whilst there was broad support for the idea of a Code of Practice, questions were posed about how it would be designed and what it should contain.Originality/valueThis study presents a unique insight into the views of the AAC community on the benefits and risks of incorporating AI into AAC systems. The views of the community on the need for a Code of Practice may support how the field moves forward with this complex technology.

Authors: Purwanegara Mustika Sufiati , Windasari Nila Armelia , Perdhana Hasbian Fauzy , Ashadi Muhammad Fakhrul Rozy , Aprilianty Fitri 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore how the utilization of 3D virtual experiences and social media improve overall gastro-tourism experiences throughout the tourist journeys.

Design/methodology/approach
This study employs a mixed-methods approach. By combining self-reported surveys and EEG tracking, this study is able to rigorously unravel Gen Z’s experience and emotions in enjoying tech-enabled gastro-tourism activities.

Findings
Showcasing 3D virtual experiences and TikTok heightened customer expectations in the pre-visit stage. The 3D virtual attractions effectively enhanced tourists’ excitement and positive emotions during on-site gastronomic experiences, and subsequently manifested into a long-term impact on future actual visit intention.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the fields of information technology and tourism by examining how digital technologies affect Gen Z’s behavior and enhance the gastro-tourism experience starting from information search, moving to on-site experiences and subsequently affect their post-purchase behavior.
The impact of the Indonesia–OIC countries’ free trade agreement on the halal food sector: CGE analysis
Authors: Muchtar Masruri , Rodoni Ahmad , Amalia Euis , Warninda Titi Dewi 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
This study aims to analyse the potential impacts of free trade agreement (FTA) between Indonesia and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries by eliminating import tariffs in the halal food sector on welfare, gross domestic product (GDP) and trade balance. OIC countries as the second-largest organisation after the United Nations are the potential markets for the halal food industry.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used the Global Trade Analysis Project database version 10 by adopting a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for two scenarios. The first scenario stated that Indonesia should conduct an FTA with ten potential OIC countries as export destination, while the second one stated that it should be conducted with all OIC countries.

Findings
Indonesia is predicted to get the highest increase in welfare by making an FTA with all OIC countries. Scenario 2 showed that Indonesia had much higher changes in real GDP with a positive change of 0.0018%. Even though it is projected to experience a surplus in the trade balance in both scenarios, Indonesia is predicted to experience a decline in exports for the particular halal food sector. The findings contribute some new insights to the existing literature, revealing an alignment between economic integration and the concept of international trade in Islam.

Research limitations/implications
The limitation of this study is the available data that cannot describe the population of all OIC countries. Only 31 countries out of a total of 56 OIC countries can be used in research. The scope of research is limited to analysing FTAs between Indonesia and OIC countries in the form of abolishing import tariffs and does not include non-tariff barrier issues such as halal certification.

Practical implications
The preferential trade agreement is considered relevant as Indonesia’s initial commitment to conduct a bilateral trade with ten selected OIC countries. The Indonesia Government, however, still needs to make several mitigation efforts in various sectors experiencing losses as a result of economic integration, such as by creating a more conducive business climate, supporting the sources of capital, facilitating bureaucratic affairs, as well as providing tax incentives.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to the literature by focusing on the critical aspects of the FTA’s impacts on halal food sectors by optimizing the reduction of import tariffs of OIC countries. Different from previous studies, this study applied a static CGE model to examine the impacts of FTA on macroeconomic indicators.
Fermatean fuzzy group decision model for agile, resilient and sustainable logistics service provider selection in the manufacturing industry
Authors: Akhtar Mohammad 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
Logistics service provider (LSP) selection involves multiple criteria, alternatives and decision makers. Group decision-making involves vagueness and uncertainty. This paper aims to propose a novel fuzzy method for assessing and selecting agile, resilient and sustainable LSP, taking care of the inconsistency and uncertainty in subjective group ratings.

Design/methodology/approach
Eighteen agile, resilient, operational, economic, environmental and social sustainability criteria were identified from the literature and discussion with experts. Interval-valued Fermatean fuzzy (IVFF) sets are more flexible and accurate for handling complex uncertainty, impreciseness and inconsistency in group ratings. The IVFF PIvot Pairwise RElative Criteria Importance Assessment Simplified (IVFF-PIPRECIAS) and IVFF weighted aggregated sum product assessment (IVFF-WASPAS) methods are applied to determine criteria weights and LSP evaluation, respectively.

Findings
Collaboration and partnership, range of services, capacity flexibility, geographic coverage, cost of service and environmental safeguard are found to have a greater influence on the LSP selection, as per this study. The LSP (L3) with the highest score (0.949) is the best agile, resilient and sustainable LSP in the manufacturing industry.

Research limitations/implications
Hybrid IVFF-based PIPRECIAS and WASPAS methods are proposed for the selection of agile, resilient and sustainable LSP in the manufacturing industry.

Practical implications
The model can help supply chain managers in the manufacturing industry to easily adopt the hybrid model for agile, resilient and sustainable LSP selection.

Social implications
The paper also contributes to the social sustainability of logistics workers.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, IVFF-PIPRECIAS and IVFF-WASPAS methods are applied for the first time to select the best agile, resilient and sustainable LSP in a developing economy context.
Mental health and positive introversion: a positive autoethnographic case study of Mark Weeks
Authors: Weeks Mark , Gonot-Schoupinsky Freda 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this article is to garner insight into positive introversion, meaning experiences of introverted behaviour that may be perceived as positive and perform positive functions in one’s life. The subject is Mark Weeks, whose primary research has been in cultural studies and philosophy, particularly focusing on laughter and humour, during a career spent mostly at Nagoya University in Japan.

Design/methodology/approach
This case study uses positive autoethnography, a methodology that was co-conceived by Weeks. It includes a 10-question interview.

Findings
The authors learn how Weeks has positively embraced his introversion to negotiate challenges in his life, fostering resilience, gratitude and joyful experience. In the process, Weeks foregrounds the importance of solitary laughter and humour in his existential journey.

Research limitations/implications
Introversion is often depicted negatively in the literature. Yet, much introversion is and can be developed as, positive.

Practical implications
The narrative shared here is one of trials, exploration and discovery, offering practical insight for introverts and those interested in understanding introverted behaviour in general.

Social implications
Positively embracing aspects of introversion can be an important step for introverts in finding a healthy and enjoyable balance between the social and the solitary. Indeed, the same may apply to extraverts who fear being alone. Greater social recognition of valuable experiences within solitude could help to produce more tolerant and adaptable societies.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is an original article, narrated by a contributor to the development of positive autoethnography. It focuses on areas of personal experience that are often marginalized and poorly understood, including positive potentials of introversion and of solitary laughter.
Maintaining hope in partnership policing
Authors: Stenström Anders 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis article examines how hope for an effective partnership approach to policing is maintained in everyday policing.Design/methodology/approachData collection involved 22 qualitative interviews, and observations with police officers and municipal employees in Stockholm, Sweden. It also includes an analysis of their documents.FindingsUsing the concept of mechanisms of hope (Brunsson, 2006, 2009), this article explores how police officers and other actors in the security landscape maintain hope in partnership policing despite having compelling reasons to be cynical and sceptical. The findings indicate that mechanism of hope is an important element in the way police handle uncertainty and maintain institutional pressures in their everyday policing practices.Originality/valueBy demonstrating how actors responsible for implementing a partnership approach to policing maintain hope in partnership policing, this article advances our understanding of myths in policing, as well as the institutional settings in which policing is conducted (Crank, 2003). Moreover, this article provides insight into the opportunities and challenges embedded in the social configuration of hope.
A novel approach on artificial aging of nylon 12 powder for laser powder bed fusion
Authors: Vendittoli Valentina , Polini Wilma , Walter Michael S.J. , Stacheder Jakob P.C. 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
This study aims to address challenges in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion process of polymers, focusing on the considerable amount of unsintered powder left post-printing. The objective is to understand the altered properties of this powder and find solutions to improve the process, reduce waste and explore reusing reprocessed powder.

Design/methodology/approach
A novel methodology is used to generate reprocessed powder without traditional printing, reducing time, cost and waste. The approach mimics the ageing effects during the printing process, providing insights into particle size distribution and thermal behaviour.

Findings
Results reveal insights into artificial ageing, showing an 8.2% decrease in particle size (60.256–69.183 µm) and a 9.1% increase in particle size (17.378–19.953 µm) compared to unsintered powder. Thermal behaviour closely mirrors used powders, with variations in enthalpy of fusion (−0.55% to 2.69%) and degree of crystallinity (0.19% to 2.64%). The proposed methodology produces results that differ from those due to printing under 3% from a thermal point of view. The new process reduces the time needed for aged powder, contributing to cost savings and waste reduction.

Originality/value
The study introduces a novel method for reprocessed powder generation, deviating from traditional printing. The originality lies in artificially ageing powders, providing comparable results to actual printing. This approach offers efficiency, time savings and waste reduction in the Laser Powder Bed Fusion process, presenting a valuable avenue for further research.
How does the influencers' country of origin affect online brand advocacy among young consumers?
Authors: Rambocas Meena , Metivier Jenna 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
Marketers increasingly use social media influencers to appeal to young consumers. This study aims to investigate the impact of the influencers’ country of origin (COO) on young customers' online brand advocacy (OBA). It also tests the mediating effects of trustworthiness and perceived homophily on these relationships.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were obtained from 197 Generation Z (Gen-Z) consumers of skin care products living in Trinidad and Tobago, using a quasi-experimental study and online self-administered questionnaires. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, analysis of covariance and multiple regression analysis.

Findings
The findings support the role of an influencer's COO on young consumers' OBA and the mediating effects of influencers' trustworthiness and perceived homophily. The findings show that local influencers have a more substantial effect on OBA for Gen-Z customers. In addition, results show that both variables of trustworthiness and perceived homophily mediate the influencer’s COO and OBA relationship. The findings also show that local influencers benefit from higher levels of trustworthiness and greater perceived homophily than foreign ones.

Originality/value
The study fills the gap in the marketing literature by understanding how an influencer’s extrinsic characteristics, such as country of origin, can affect the marketing outcome of OBA among Gen-Z consumers in a small developing country. It also demonstrates the importance of perceived homophily and trustworthiness between influencers and audiences for marketing success.
