Authors: Tarjo Tarjo , Anggono Alexander , Alim Mohammad Nizarul , Said Jamaliah , Mohd-Sanusi Zuraidah 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine the effects of religiosity, ethical leadership and local wisdom on the relationship between fraud risk management and asset misappropriation in Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected using a set of questionnaire surveys administered to the head office, local government internal auditors (inspectorate) and local government employees in Indonesia. Sample selection used purposive techniques and obtained 151 respondents who became research data. The dependent variable was asset misappropriation. The independent variable was fraud risk management. The moderating variables for this study were religiosity, leader ethics and local wisdom. The analysis technique applied the structural equation model-partial least square (SEM-PLS).

Findings
Fraud risk management has a significant negative effect on asset misappropriation. In addition, this study finds evidence that religiosity, ethical leadership and local wisdom increase fraud risk management against asset misappropriation.

Research limitations/implications
This study proposes an integrative model that enables local governments to understand fraud risk management. By integrating religiosity, ethical leadership and local wisdom, managers can design strategies to prevent asset misappropriation.

Originality/value
This research has the advantage of proposing an integrative model for mitigating asset misappropriation. Research on asset misappropriation is limited. Therefore, this study provides insights into fraud risk management, particularly in Indonesia’s local governments. In addition, this study adds ethical aspects such as religiosity, leadership and local wisdom to complement the weaknesses of fraud risk management and reduce the potential for asset misappropriation.

Performability analysis for the SPVC line system of leaf spring production plant using probabilistic approach
Authors: Parkash Shanti , Tewari P.C. 
Published: July 2024

PurposeThis work ensures the higher performability of this complex system, which consists of five different subsystems, i.e. shearing machine, V-cutting machine, center hole punch, edge cutting burr and drilling machine. These subsystems are placed in combinations of both series and parallel arrangement. The concerned plant management must be aware of the failures that have the greatest/least impact on the system’s performance.Design/methodology/approachPerformability analysis has been done for the Shearing, Punch and V- Cutting (SPVC) line system by using a probabilistic approach (i.e. Markov method). This system was further divided into five subsystems, and single-order differential equations are derived using the transition diagram. MATLAB software was used to determine the performability of the system for various combinations of repair and failure rates.FindingsIn this research work, performability analysis was done using different combinations of repair and failure rates for these subsystems. Further, a decision matrix (DM) has been developed that indicates that edge cutting burr is the most critical subsystem, which requires the top level of maintenance priorities among the various subsystems. This matrix will facilitate policymaking related to various maintenance activities for the respective system.Originality/valueIn this research work, a mathematical modeling based on a single differential equation using a transition diagram has been developed for the SPVC line system. The novelty of this work is to consider interaction among different subsystem, which generates more realistic situation during modeling. The purposed DM helps make future maintenance planning, which reduces maintenance costs and enhances system's performability.
Sustainable symbiosis: navigating green energy purchase intentions and consumer comfort with remotely controlled energy management
Authors: Clark Melissa , Doll Jessica L. 
Published: July 2024

PurposeRenewable energy sources and smart devices are options for those wishing to lessen their reliance on fossil fuels. Smart devices in the home also allow energy providers to remotely control energy use (RCEU). However, little is understood about consumer’s perceptions of RCEU programs. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), it is proposed that environmental attitudes, environmental self-identity, green history, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control will predict differences in both purchase intentions and RCEU.Design/methodology/approachData from 692 participants was collected via an online survey of energy consumers. The relationship between study variables was examined using regression analyses.FindingsThe results indicate that environmental attitude, environmental identity, green history and perceived behavioral control are positively related to both purchase intentions and RCEU. The results could have important implications for energy providers, practitioners, energy consumers and citizens interested in environmental issues.Originality/valueAs energy providers consider ways to better manage consumer energy use, RCEU has been used more frequently. However, understanding customer perceptions of RCEU is not well-established in the green energy literature. This paper contributes a first step towards the understanding of RCEU perceptions.
Mechanical characteristics of blended Renova®/polyester microfiber double cloth woven fabrics for active sportswear applications
Authors: Yahia Sarah , Seddik Khaled Mohamed 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to accommodate the mechanical characteristics that comply with the spectra of active sportswear by taking the innovative features of double-layered fabric (double cloth) and polyester yarn. The research focused on blending two types of polyester: Renova® and polyester microfiber with different weave structures in both face and back layers for fabricated fabrics. Force resistance was investigated through several properties, the mass per unit area and thickness properties were also considered.

Design/methodology/approach
The research was divided into two phases. The first phase included three samples with the same double cloth structure and different weft materials to detect the most preferable performance. The second phase included three samples with the same materials and different double cloth structures. Several mechanical properties were tested in accordance with standard test methods, and the results were collected, tabulated and statistically analyzed using a chart line, an ANOVA test with a p-value = 0.05, a calculated least significant difference (value) and a radar chart area.

Findings
The results assigned that blending Renova®/polyester microfiber develops mechanical properties than using them individually, considering the increase in polyester microfiber ratio. The double cloth with different plain structures has a significantly different effect on the examined properties, except for elongation and thickness.

Originality/value
According to the radar chart area, the double cloth with a plain rib structure achieved better performance, and in the same vein, the results showed that the plain with a warp rib structure enhanced fabric behavior more than the weft rib.

Authors: Benvenuti Eduardo Werner , Bierhalz Andrea Cristiane Krause , Fries Carlos Ernani , Steffens Fernanda 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to develop a decision-making protocol to meet the new requirements in an atypical panorama, such as the economic instability, in the textile industry.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology consists of analyzing technical criteria, costing parameters and efficiency scores of knitted fabrics using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and classification and regression (C&R) trees models, together with statistical techniques. From these tools, it is possible to guide the portfolio management of these products in a textile company, identifying those that are inefficient and require immediate management measures. The results are expected to be replicated in other companies because the DEA and C&R trees analytical procedures are applicable to different portfolios, whether in the same industry or not.

Findings
The results allowed identifying inefficient textile products regarding the input-output relationship and the main technical reasons related to the most significant inefficiencies, such as fiber composition and knitted fabrics rapports used in manufacturing.

Originality/value
DEA and C&R trees, in combination with the study of textile technical parameters, can be fundamental to investigating the efficiency and profitability of industries in periods of economic instability or other adverse situations. In addition, it is noteworthy that there are practically no studies in the literature on DEA applied in the textile industry, indicating excellent development potential.

Authors: Dionisio Marcelo 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore the concept of transformational entrepreneurship (TE), which is relevant in emerging economies such as Brazil with its elevated level of unemployment, taxes and interest rates along with elevated levels of institutional voids, and how firms are including purpose as part of their goals and strategies.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is based on a multiple case study of six Afro-entrepreneurs, participants of a consulting project from Sebrae, the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service, a private entity that promotes the competitiveness and sustainable development of micro and small business enterprises (Sebrae, 2022).

Findings
This work studied the transformational power of entrepreneurship and how six beauty salons led by black women have the ability to not only generate income but also contribute to social and cultural aspects.

Practical implications
This work demonstrates how TE has the potential to improve the lives of a population that has historically been marginalized and faces the lived consequences of socioeconomic discrimination.

Originality/value
This paper provides valuable contributions through a case study of transformational, ethnic and women’s entrepreneurship, not very explored in the literature.
Employee social impact behavior scale: conceptualization, measure development and validation
Authors: Altuniji Afra Saif , Mohd-Shamsudin Faridahwati , Bani-Melhem Shaker , Karrani Mariam 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
While existing research in organizational behavior has explored such constructs as perceived social impact and extra-role behaviors, there remains a limited understanding of how employees can make positive changes inside and outside the organization within their professional roles. This study aims to bridge the existing research gap by introducing a novel construct, Employee Social Impact Behavior (ESIB), alongside developing and validating a corresponding scale, the Employee Social Impact Behavior Scale (ESIBS), to measure employees' contributions both within their organizations and toward broader societal welfare.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors used Hinkin’s (1998) psychometric methodology to develop and validate the ESIBS. The process encompassed initial item generation, item reduction with reliability estimation, confirmatory factor analysis and convergent and discriminant validity examination. The authors used data from diverse samples to find that the ESIBS had a consistent unidimensional structure.

Findings
The scale exhibits both convergent and discriminant validity, and criterion-related validity is demonstrated through the scale’s relation with related constructs such as perceived social impact and extra-role behaviors. Overall, the ESIB is found to be a reliable and valid measure.

Originality/value
This study unveils a validated ESIB construct, serving both researchers and practitioners to assess impactful employee behaviors within organizations and toward society. This marks a pivotal enhancement in measuring contributions that extend beyond traditional organizational roles to broader societal change.
Exploring corporate environmental responsibility through practitioners’ lens
Authors: Ramya S.M. , Baral Rupashree 
Published: July 2024

Purpose
Organizations are partly responsible for the pollution in the world and are expected to contribute towards curbing climate change. Despite the growing importance of the environmental aspect of corporate social responsibility (CSR), i.e. corporate environmental responsibility (CER), current literature focuses more on its antecedents and outcomes rather than drilling deeper into the essential elements of the concept. This has resulted in conceptual confusion as researchers use different aspects to define, understand and measure CER. Hence, this study aims to identify the critical dimensions of CER from a practitioner’s point of view.

Design/methodology/approach
Twenty-eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with senior sustainability professionals across top Bombay Stock Exchange-indexed organizations in India. Manual content analysis and the Gioia method were used to arrive at the findings.

Findings
The critical components of CER are as follows: encompassing environmental responsibility mindset; optimized resource consumption; neutral water, energy and air status; multi-level environmental responsibility approach and targets; compliance, disclosure, reporting and policy formation; and green supply chain.

Originality/value
Our research introduces a comprehensive framework of dimensions to study, measure and represent CER, addressing a critical gap in the current literature. The authors identify and propose novel dimensions, such as the CER mindset and a multi-level approach, which are essential for a holistic understanding of CER. These dimensions, presently absent in academic definitions, render existing research based on those definitions incomplete. Integrating these new dimensions will significantly enhance the rigor and relevance of CER studies, offering a more robust foundation for future research and practical application.
The Dual Risks of Digital Exclusion and Unaffordability of Telecommunications in Lower‐Income Australian Households
Authors: Orzechowska‐Fischer Ewa , Rose Emily , Breunig Robert 
Published: July 2024

AbstractWe analyse household telecommunications spending in Australia over the period 2006–2021 using Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey data. We find the affordability of telecommunications is improving, and that telecommunications spending behaves like other core necessities, such as food. We find households in which members are not employed, have relatively low education, are elderly, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders or immigrants, speak English poorly, reside alone, or have long‐term health conditions are at heightened risk of digital exclusion due to lower spending on telecommunications. Households located in rural areas, with children or with members that work from home are at higher risk of digital exclusion as a consequence of overspending on telecommunications. Overall, the number of people at risk of digital exclusion from inadequate spending or overspending is quite small in Australia. The risks appear to have decreased during COVID‐19. Telecommunications is a core necessity but given the small number of people at risk of exclusion, policies addressing affordability should be highly targeted.
Diverting 911 calls: Lessons from early adopting urban jurisdictions
Authors: Midgette Greg , Reuter Peter 
Published: July 2024

AbstractResearch SummaryTwo perceptions drive interest in finding ways of diverting more 911 calls from police to civilian first responders: (1) police responses can result in inadvertent harm to citizens and (2) many calls to which police respond require services that police often cannot provide. Thus, using other personnel may improve police–citizen relations and strengthen crime fighting by reducing extraneous police burden. Using a case study design, we conducted formative evaluations of programs that have developed beyond pilots in three large U.S. cities: Albuquerque, Atlanta, and Houston. In each city, we interviewed officials, program operators, and other stakeholders and reviewed program documents and statistics. We detail the events and forces that led to the establishment of each program, the way in which the programs have been institutionalized, and the way they interact with the police department. We then discuss key lessons learned for these jurisdictions.Policy ImplicationsMany U.S. cities are considering diverting some emergency calls for service from police to civilian first responders. This analysis provides evidence to aid policy makers, researchers, and other stakeholders in the development and evaluation of community responder programs. In all respects, we find that cities’ unique experiences inform program design. For example, in Albuquerque, a City Hall‐driven initiative established a new city agency parallel to the police department. In Atlanta, decarceration activists drove the initiative; the program is a city/county‐funded nonprofit, more fragile in its funding. Risk aversion among call takers and dispatchers has led to low call diversion rates across all sites, but training and collaboration have shown promise to resolve this problem. Public safety officials external to the diversion programs commonly expressed concerns about first responder safety and perceptions that police are expected when 911 is called. This risk aversion has led to slower‐than‐expected expansion of the program within each city.
Origin of Felsic Microgranitoid Enclaves in Granite in Zhangjiakou District, China: Implication for Process and Lifespan of Granitic Magma Chambers
Authors: WANG Dazhao , LIU Yuhang , LENG Chengbiao , ZHEN Shimin , LIU Jiajun , ZHA Zhongjian 
Published: July 2024

AbstractSparse felsic microgranitoid enclaves (FMEs) in the Shangshuiquan granite of the Zhangjiakou district, the north margin of the North China Craton, are fine‐grained, dark‐colored and exhibit subangular to subspherical shapes. They share similar mineral assemblages, chemical compositions, and zircon Hf isotope compositions to the host granite. New zircon U‐Pb geochronology reveals that the FMEs crystallized at 156–153 Ma, while the Shangshuiquan granite formed at ca. 146 Ma. The FEMs are, therefore, 10 to 7 Ma older than the host granite. Combined with petrological evidence, we suggest that the FMEs are fragments of rapidly crystalized magmas, which were captured by the younger Shangshuiquan magma. Magmas of the FMEs and Shangshuiquan granite originated from the same reservoir. The Shangshuiquan granite is the result of small batches of magma being built up incrementally, and the FMEs belong to the earlier batches of magma. The lifespan of the Shangshuiquan magma reservoir exceeds 10 Ma. FMEs derived from cogenetic fragments have the potential to offer critical information about the formation process and timescale of granitic plutons.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to understand the effect of time to remission of acromegaly on survival in people living with acromegaly.Design, Patients and MeasurementThis cross‐sectional study used data from the UK Acromegaly Register. We considered remission of acromegaly growth hormone controlled at ≤2 μg/L following the diagnosis of acromegaly. We used the accelerated failure time model to assess the effect of time to remission on survival in acromegaly.ResultsThe study population comprises 3569 individuals with acromegaly, with a median age of diagnosis of 47.3 (36.5–57.8) years, 48% females and a majority white population (61%). The number of individuals with the first remission of acromegaly was 2472, and the median time to first remission was 1.92 (0.70–6.58) years. In this study, time to first remission in acromegaly was found to have a significant effect on survival (p < .001); for every 1‐year increase in time to first remission, there was a median 1% reduction in survival in acromegaly. In an analysis adjusted for covariates, the survival rate was 52% higher (p < .001) in those who underwent surgery as compared to those who did not have surgery, 18% higher (p = .01) in those who received treatment with somatostatin analogues (SMA) as compared to those with dopamine agonists and 21% lower (p < .001) in those who received conventional radiotherapy as compared to those who did not receive radiotherapy.ConclusionIn conclusion, this population‐based study conducted in patients with acromegaly revealed that faster remission time, surgical intervention and treatment with SMA are linked to improved survival outcomes.
