Perceptions of fairness in the psychological contracts of allied health professionals
Authors: Flower Rebecca , Demir Defne , McWilliams John , Johnson Dianne 
Published: May 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationships between components of the psychological contract, organisational justice, and negative affectivity (NA), with key employee outcomes (i.e. organisational commitment, job satisfaction, depression, and psychological distress) among allied health professionals.Design/methodology/approach– In total, 134 (response rate of 46 per cent) Australian allied health professional completed a questionnaire.Findings– Multiple regressions revealed that higher NA was associated with lower organisational commitment, lower job satisfaction, and higher levels of depression. The psychological contract variable, breach, was associated with depression. Informational justice was associated with organisational commitment. Distributive justice was associated with job satisfaction.Research limitations/implications– This research is limited by its cross-sectional design and that the data were self-reported. The results obtained suggest the potential utility of collecting longitudinal data to replicate and extend the results.Practical implications– While NA may be beyond management control, it may be ameliorated by attention to improving communication of management decisions and by sensitivity to the elements implicit in psychological contracts. The negative consequences of contract breach may be offset by informational and distributive justice.Originality/value– This study is one of the first to examine multiple measures of the psychological contract in addition to organisational justice and NA. Further, this study adds to the literature for allied health professionals, where little is known about factors contributing to their turnover.

Published: May 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to analyze the cause-and-effect relationship and the mutually influential level among information security control items, as well as to provide organizations with a method for analyzing and making systematic decisions for improvement.Design/methodology/approach– This study utilized the Fuzzy DEMATEL to analyze cause-and-effect relationships and mutual influence of the 11 control items of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS), which are discussed by seven experts in Taiwan to identify the core control items for developing the improvement strategies.Findings– The study has found that the three core control items of the ISMS are security policy (SC1), access control (SC7) and human resource security (SC4). This study provides organizations with a direction to develop improvement strategies and effectively manage the ISMS of the organization.Originality/value– The value of this study is for an organization to effectively dedicate resources to core control items, such that other control items are driven toward positive change by analyzing the cause-and-effect relation and the mutual influential level among information security control items, through a cause-and-effect matrix and a systematic diagram.
Theoretical prediction of the needle penetration force in denim fabric part 1
Authors: Haghighat Ezzatollah , Etrati Seyed Mohammad , Shaikhzadeh Najar Saeed , Shamsi Mostafa 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to theoretically calculate and predict the needle penetration force (NPF) in woven denim fabrics with twill 3/1 weave pattern, based on the geometrical, physical, and mechanical properties of fabric and constituent weft and warp yarns.

Design/methodology/approach
– In order to calculate the NPF by mathematical relations, the suggested model by Stylios and Xu (1995) is extended. While the needle penetrates into the fabric, the NPF is calculated on the basis of yarn tensile elongation, needle profile shape, and friction between needle and yarns. To accurately evaluate the developed model, nine different commercial denim fabric samples with various weft densities and linear density of weft yarns are produced, also five needles with different sizes are utilized. The NPF is measured in the successive cycle loading conditions similar to sewing machine process by using a designed and constructed instrument, which mounted on the Instron tensile tester.

Findings
– Comparing the predicted and experimental values indicated that the accuracy of model to predict the NPF is partly acceptable (R2=0.734). To improve the developed model, in addition to the forces which applied on needle due to yarn elongation, the other forces such as friction between weft and warp yarns, and yarn resistance to bending in the near of the sewing needle, which resist against needle penetration, can be considered.

Originality/value
– The fabrics with twill weave pattern have a complicated structure than plain pattern, therefore, in this paper the NPF of denim fabrics with twill 3/1 weave pattern were theoretically calculated based on yarn elongation. The spacing between centers of yarns in these fabrics is obtained by deriving a new formula. The NPF is measured on the Instron tensile tester to simulate sewing process.

Authors: Frydrych Iwona , Matusiak Małgorzata 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the formability of cotton and cotton/polyester woven fabrics and their selected properties: weft density, weave and a way of finishing. It shows how the mentioned properties influence fabric formability and analyze a statistical significance of investigated relationships.

Design/methodology/approach
– In paper two groups of cotton and cotton/polyester woven fabrics of different structure and a way of finishing have been measured in the range of their basic structural properties as well as bending rigidity and initial Young’s modulus. Formability of investigated fabrics has been calculated on the basis of bending rigidity and initial Young’s modulus. Next, ANOVA has been performed in order to analyze the relationships between the weft density, weave and a way of finishing of woven fabrics and their formability.

Findings
– The paper shows that all selected properties of woven fabrics significantly influence their formability as well as that there is statistically significant interaction between mentioned independent factors. It provides empirical results confirming that the influence of raw material composition of investigated cotton and cotton/polyester woven fabrics on the formability of fabrics is statistically insignificant.

Research limitations/implications
– Results of investigations can be applied for cotton and cotton-like woven fabrics.

Practical implications
– The paper includes implications for woven fabric engineering from the point of view of achieving the expected fabric formability.

Social implications
– The results enables the choice of appropriate fabric for the given clothing.

Originality/value
– This paper fulfills an identified need to study how the formability of woven fabrics can be shaped by an appropriate selection of their structure and a way of finishing.

The parametric design of body surface patches will facilitate the analysis of numerous body scan data.
Visibility aid cycling clothing: flashing light-emitting diode (FLED) configurations
Authors: Koo Helen S. , Huang Xiao 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to investigate drivers’ differing psychological perceptions of cyclists’ conspicuity according to active visibility aid configurations on clothing.

Design/methodology/approach
– The flashing light-emitting diodes (FLEDs) were positioned on the major joints (shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles) in eight configurations and pre- and post-surveys were conducted.

Findings
– The results indicated that there were significant differences among the eight configurations in observers’ detection and recognition of cyclists, contributions of FLEDs, and visibility of cyclists (p<0.001). Among the eight different configurations on joints, FLEDs on the hips, knees, and ankles were the most detectable, recognizable, and visible.

Originality/value
– Most of the previous studies have investigated passive visibility aids and there is a lack of research on FLED configurations on major joints for cyclists. Thus, this study is expected to be beneficial to designers when developing active visibility aid clothing for cyclists.
Virtual manipulations for draping
Authors: Mesuda Yuko , Inui Shigeru , Horiba Yosuke 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– Draping is one method used in clothing design. It is important to virtualize draping in real time, and virtual cloth handling is a key technology for this purpose. A mouse is often used for real-time cloth handling in many studies. However, gesture manipulation is more realistic than movements using the mouse. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate virtual cloth manipulation using hand gestures in the real world.

Design/methodology/approach
– In this study, the authors demonstrate three types of manipulation: moving, cutting, and attaching. The user’s hand coordinates are obtained with a Kinect, and the cloth model is manipulated by them. The cloth model is moved based on the position of the hand coordinates. The cloth model is cut along a cut line calculated from the hand coordinates. In attaching the cloth model, it is mapped to a dummy model and then part of the cloth model is fixed and another part is released.

Findings
– This method can move the cloth model according to the motion of the hands. The authors have succeeded in cutting the cloth model based on the hand trajectory. The cloth model can be attached to the dummy model and its form is changed along the dummy model shape.

Originality/value
– Cloth handling in many studies is based on indirect manipulation using a mouse. In this study, the cloth model is manipulated according to hand motion in the real world in real time.
Understanding cultural activity involvement of loyalty segments in the performing arts
Authors: Rooij Pieter de 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to describe and understand dimensions of cultural activity involvement and the relationship between cultural activity involvement and behavioural loyalty.

Design/methodology/approach
– Semi-structured in-depth interviews with 47 customers of a theatre were held.

Findings
– The study shows that the concept of cultural activity involvement consists of six dimensions: attraction, centrality, self-expression, social bonding, cultural transmission and financial contribution. Three customer segments are taken into consideration according behavioural loyalty levels: incidental spectators, interested participants and the core audience. There are large differences between the three customer segments regarding cultural activity involvement.

Research limitations/implications
– Introspection might have decreased the reliability. As the study is a case study, problems with external validity are recognised.

Practical implications
– Given the decline of subsidies in the arts world, it becomes more important to attract more visitors and to increase spending. Performing arts organisations might attract more visitors in case they provide additional services which enable cultural transmission. Moreover, the study shows that certain visitors are willing to contribute additional money to the arts.

Originality/value
– Current studies about leisure involvement focus on recreation and distinguish four dimensions of involvement. This study focuses on cultural activity involvement and explores these four dimensions, but also shows there are two new dimensions. This study contributes to a further understanding of the relationship between cultural activity involvement and behavioural loyalty.
An investigation of antecedents of organizational citizenship behavior in the Turkish hospitality industry: a structural equation approach
Authors: Bilgin Necdet , Kuzey Cemil , Torlak Gökhan , Uyar Ali 
Published: May 2015

Purpose– This paper aims to investigate the relationships between organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and its antecedents – job satisfaction (JS), affective commitment (AC), organizational justice (OJ) and charismatic leadership (CL); the relationships among its antecedents; and mediating roles of JS and AC in the relationships between CL and OCB and between OJ and OCB in the Turkish hospitality industry in Antalya region. Improving OCB in the hospitality industry, as in other industries, plays an important role in increasing service quality and organization performance.Design/methodology/approach– The sample used for this study consisted of 768 employees working in 18 hotels (4- or 5-Star) in the Antalya region of Turkey. The data collection methodology of the study was a questionnaire survey which was administered through drop-and-collect methodology. The analysis methodology of the study was structural equation modeling.Findings– The findings indicated that both AC and JS mediated the relationship between CL and OCB, as well as between OJ and OCB. Guiding employees by charismatic leaders as well as securing OJ at workplaces in hospitality organizations in the Antalya region of Turkey contribute to OCB positively; however, JS and AC mediate this relationship. Thus, it is assumed that managers should take steps to improve the AC and JS attributes of their employees. In addition, unlike empirical findings in hospitality management literature, this research could not find any direct relationship between CL and OCB.Research limitations/implications– The present study provides practical implications for hotel managers who may be searching for ways in which to increase OCB and firm performance. The sample is confined to the hospitality industry, thus the generalization of findings to other industries might be limited. Hence, the authors suggest future studies which better enable comparison among various industries.Originality/value– The novelty of the present study arises from two points: incorporating a CL variable into the study’s model regarding the antecedents of OCB and investigating the mediating roles of JS and AC between CL and OCB as well as between OJ and OCB within the hospitality management industry.
Service quality and customer satisfaction: qualitative research implications for luxury hotels
Authors: Lu Carol , Berchoux Celine , Marek Michael W. , Chen Brendan 
Published: May 2015

Purpose– The purpose of this paper was to determine whether luxury hotel managers and customers have the same understanding of service quality and satisfaction and whether there is a disparity between services offered by luxury hotels and the way customers actually experience them.Design/methodology/approach– This paper used interviews with managers and guests of 5-Star hotels in Taiwan and qualitative analysis to understand definitions and perceptions of luxury, service quality and satisfaction.Findings– The major findings of the study were that: there were no fundamental disconnects in the respective understandings of managers and guests; however, the two groups used different language to describe luxury, service quality and satisfaction; the managers evaluated satisfaction in terms of services provided, but the guests conceptualized satisfaction in terms of value received for the price of lodging; and luxury, service quality and satisfaction were closely related in the minds of the managers and guests and were not independent constructs.Research limitations/implications– Recommendations are made based on marketing communications theory, that is all factors identified in this study can be considered to be part of the brand identity of the hotel; local culture can introduce variables that may be outside the scope of international standards; and information on local expectations and preferences can inform advertising and public relations efforts of the hotel.Originality/value– This study is significant because little research into luxury hotel customer satisfaction has been done using qualitative methodology, which provides a richer understanding of the experiences of the participants than can quantitative design.
Developing sustainable societies – a dialogical network perspective
Authors: Ingulfsvann Are S. , Jakobsen Ove , Nystad Øystein 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to describe and discuss how and to what extent creative dialogue processes can have an impact on regional political planning processes in Norway. Politicians at Nordland County invited representatives from six different regions in Nordland to participate in café dialogues.

Design/methodology/approach
– The empirical material is collected from café-dialogues in Northern Norway in which representatives from civil society, business organizations, local government, and NGOs participated. The data processing is based on triangulation of hermeneutic interpretation, frequencies, and factor analysis.

Findings
– The findings indicate that most people want a “greener” future; this can be described as sustainable societies based on ecological production, distribution, consumption, and redistribution. People take on a more radical position in their ideas about the future than most politicians. The factor analysis grouped the participants into the following categories; “Ecological economics”, “Small is beautiful”, “Entrepreneurs”, and “Growth and control”. A large number of the participants are categorized either as “Circulation economics” or “Small is beautiful”.

Practical implications
– To solve the challenges of modern society politicians can instigate more radical solutions than they are in the habit of doing. The participants in the café dialogues describe fundamental changes in order to attain viable local societies per 2030.

Originality/value
– In this paper the authors demonstrate that cultural creatives in the USA give a relevant context for interpreting attitudes to change in small societies in Northern Norway.
A day in the life of a peer support worker: the ward reviews
Authors: Watson Emma 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to share the experiences and reflections of a Peer Support Worker over the course of a day working within mental health services.

Design/methodology/approach
– A narrative approach has been taken to structure reflections based on the experience of attending a series of reviews on an acute mental health ward.

Findings
– The experience of attending ward reviews creates reflections based on how this system affects and challenges both those who are served by it and those work within it.

Originality/value
– This paper adds to the small number of accounts of the experiences of Peer Support Working in mental health services and as such is highly original.
A point of view: it’s time to stop neglecting community mental health teams
Authors: Watkeys Flippa , Morton Suzanne 
Published: May 2015

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to argue that recent attention has been focused on inpatient services at the expense of community mental health teams and that it is time to redress the balance.

Design/methodology/approach
– This is a personal viewpoint.

Findings
– In writing this piece it has enabled us to focus on just how widespread the issues are regarding the lack of focus on community services, and that the view and paradigm needs to change on all levels/structures. Services need to recognise the wide scope of community services and the part they inevitably play in someone’s recovery journey. It also throws the spotlight on services working too often in silos deeply affecting people in receipt of the services.

Originality/value
– To stimulate debate about the role of community mental health teams.
The relationship between microhabitat use, allometry and functional variation in the eyes of Hawaiian Megalagrion damselflies
Authors: Scales Jeffrey A. , Butler Marguerite A. 
Published: May 2015

Summary

The evolution of visual systems is guided by visual requirements imposed by the environment, the size of the animal's eyes, and physical limitations imposed by the resolution‐sensitivity trade‐off. Given a particular eye surface area, resolution and sensitivity cannot be simultaneously maximized: gains in resolution, the ability of the eye to detect detail, will come at the cost of sensitivity, the ability to capture photons, and vice versa, without an increase to eye size. How this constraint interacts with ecology and whether it allows the fine‐tuning of the visual system to smaller scale habitat heterogeneity remains an understudied question in visual ecology.

Here, we use closely‐related species of damselflies in the Hawaiian genus Megalagrion which differ in ecology to test whether variation in the resolution‐sensitivity trade‐off is the evolutionary result of scaling or differences in microhabitat use. We use regression analyses and phylogenetic comparative methods to examine the effects of size and microhabitat use on traits related to light sensitivity and visual resolution.

We find that eye size is tightly associated with body size in these damselflies, but other visual morphology traits related to light sensitivity and resolution are associated with microhabitat type. Furthermore, size and morphology relationships vary across microhabitats, and performance related to resolution tends to be more conserved than to variation in light sensitivity.

Additionally, smaller species in visually challenging microhabitats have more regionalized eyes than species with larger eyes in open, well‐lit areas. Thus, regionalization of the eye allows a decoupling of size and morphology/performance so that even small insect species can exploit visually challenging habitats.

These results suggest that variation in visual performance results from changes in eye geometry as well as size. These morphological changes are likely adaptive to differences in microhabitat, indicating that variation in microhabitat use, even at small scales, can play an important role in the evolution of visual systems.
