Published: May 2024

PurposeEmployee green behavior contributes to the achievement of hospitality organizations’ sustainability goals. However, there is a need to examine how green human resource management (GHRM) fosters employees’ green behavior. Anchored on the conservation of resources (COR) theory, we anticipate that GHRM may have double-edged effects on employees’ organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) via two opposing mechanisms (e.g. environmental passion and emotional exhaustion). Moreover, we expect that the relationship of GHRM on environmental passion and emotional exhaustion depends on environmentally specific empowering leadership (ESEL).Design/methodology/approachThe data were garnered from 356 hospitality employees in Pakistan and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe findings revealed a significant and positive link between GHRM and employee OCBE and environmental passion and a significant and negative relationship between GHRM and emotional exhaustion. Similarly, the link between environmental passion and employee OCBE was significant and positive and between emotional exhaustion and employee OCBE was significant and negative. Our results indicate that the impact of GHRM on OCBE among hospitality employees was mediated by environmental passion and emotional exhaustion. Further, ESEL strengthened the association of GHRM with environmental passion while mitigating the effect of GHRM on emotional exhaustion.Originality/valueAnchored on the COR theory, our study provides novel empirical evidence by investigating the mechanisms and boundary conditions between GHRM and employee OCBE nexus in the hospitality realm.
Contagious greenwashing investment
Authors: Sun Yutong , Jiang Shangrong , Wang Shouyang 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis study explores the contagion of greenwashing strategies among ESG mutual funds. It investigates how the greenwashing behaviors of peer funds within the same family influence a fund’s decision to engage in greenwashing. The research also examines the impact of greenwashing on genuine ESG funds and explores the mechanisms through which greenwashing strategies spread across ESG mutual funds.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs a two-stage least squares regression model with cross-fund returns standard deviation as an instrumental variable to disentangle the peer effects of greenwashing from family-level characteristics. The analysis incorporates various fund characteristics and introduces four contagion channels through which greenwashing may influence genuine ESG funds.FindingsThe study finds greenwashing behavior in ESG funds is positively influenced by similar practices within their fund family. Larger assets under management and older funds with higher management fees show resilience against greenwashing influences, while team-managed funds are more susceptible. Additionally, socially responsible investors struggle to distinguish between genuine and greenwashing ESG funds, which may contribute to the persistence of greenwashing practices.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by delineating the mechanisms of greenwashing contagion within ESG mutual funds. It also examines the demand-side incentives for adopting greenwashing strategies, offering insights into the implications for fund flows and investor behavior. This study is among the first to analyze the contagion effects of greenwashing strategies across an extensive network of ESG funds, enriching our understanding of the broader impacts of greenwashing in the context of socially responsible investing.
Reciprocal-reflective approach to learning: an approach to increase employee and manager learning
Authors: Lyons Paul , Bandura Randall 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present for practitioner (manager) consideration an approach to a collaborative learning and problem-solving effort by a manager in partnership with an employee. Fundamentally, in place of manager direction and expertise applied to employee learning, the approach is grounded on manager-employee collaboration that makes use of an approach to learning to: (1) address some work-based problem or issue, (2) share typical leadership roles of goal-setting and problem solving, and (3) jointly working to improve the knowledge, skills, and personal attributes of each partner.

Design/methodology/approach
The concept of reciprocal reflective approach to learning (RRAL) is created by consideration of some factors that are consolidated, ultimately, to yield an approach to change. They include shared efforts in goal-setting and related tasks, identification of knowledge and skill areas linked to the performance and growth of each of the partners, and the use of a specific learning model.

Findings
The approach presented can be achieved yet requires much attention by each participant. Reciprocity means that each participant is involved in their own increases in knowledge and skills as well as aiding their partner in her/his improvements. Problem solving is also a large component of their efforts as is relationship building.

Originality/value
The approach embraces how reciprocal action can go well beyond problem solving and includes manager and employee interest and attention in helping each other to learn, change, and recognize growth in personal attributes.
Gender equality in STEMM: the legitimisation of existing inequalities through “resistance talk”
Authors: Barnacle Robyn , Cuthbert Denise , Sidelil Leul Tadesse , Henry Nicola , Latham Kay , Spark Ceridwen 
Published: May 2024

Purpose Despite some recent progress, gender inequality remains a persistent problem in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) organisations. This article seeks to better understand resistance to gender equality (GE) in this context with the aim of shedding light on the workplace-based impediments to equality and unlocking remediation opportunities.Design/methodology/approachThe article draws on in-depth interviews with 20 STEMM leaders to examine how they talk about the problem of gender inequality in the organisations they lead. Because resistance is rarely expressed directly, we adopt an in-depth, granular approach to examining what we call STEMM leaders’ “resistance talk” by decoding expressions of GE resistance that may appear, ostensibly, as something else.FindingsWe found various ideas, arguments and other discursive practices which function to legitimate or justify the status quo. These are both described by leaders in relation to what they are dealing with in their own organisations and expressed themselves. While similar “legitimating discourses” operate in other gender-segregated workplaces, our findings show how they manifest specifically in STEMM contexts.Originality/value Our results provide much-needed granular level evidence of the discursive tactics deployed to legitimate the status quo and obstruct progress toward GE in STEMM. This extends understanding of barriers to GE in STEMM and, importantly, highlights where attention might be directed to both counter resistance and harness potentially changing attitudes to expedite the necessary change required for GE in STEMM.
Enablers and inhibitors of digitalization as part of continuous improvement
Authors: Kokkinou Alinda , van Kollenburg Ton , Mathijssen Gijs , Vissers Emma , van Doren Sem 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
To deal with an increasingly competitive environment, organizations are combining continuous improvement (CI) practices with digitalization to accrue their benefits on operational performance and achieve operational excellence. The purpose of this study was to identify the enablers and inhibitors of digitalization as part of CI projects.

Design/methodology/approach
A mixed-methods sequential explanatory research design consisting of an online survey and semi-structured interviews was used to examine how digitalization technologies have been incorporated by organizations in their CI projects.

Findings
Key enablers of digitalization were found to be leadership capabilities, strategic direction, stakeholder involvement, system compatibility, data quality and giving employees room to experiment. Knowledge of digitalization was found to affect all these enablers.

Research limitations/implications
The empirical findings are based on a nonprobability sample of Dutch CI practitioners, limiting their generalizability.

Practical implications
The empirical findings highlight the need for organizations to adopt a structured approach to implementing digitalization as part of their CI projects, starting by ensuring that the necessary knowledge and skills are either present or accessible to the organization.

Originality/value
The empirical findings show that enablers of digitalization in the context of CI are strongly interlinked, and thus require a holistic approach.
Integrating smart cities and tourism systems: a critical review
Authors: Escobar Stefania Denise , Hall Colin Michael 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis study explores the relationship between Tourism Systems and Smart Cities, aiming to identify what prevents public managers from including these systems in Smart City strategies. This separation neglects that increasing tourism attractiveness may also impact city resources, infrastructures and inhabitants.Design/methodology/approachTo this end, we developed a critical literature review consulting three databases: Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCOhost. A total of 73 articles were selected and analyzed through thematic analysis.FindingsThrough this critical review, we develop a framework of barriers to integrating a tourism system in Smart City strategies composed of four main barrier themes and 11 barrier factors. Findings show the need for innovative research and public managers to go beyond considerations related to technological challenges and instead focus on other barriers hindering integration, such as the lack of participatory governance and knowledge of tourism systems' current and future impact.Originality/valueThis study offers a critical identification of barriers impeding the inclusion of tourism systems in Smart City strategies, providing a useful guideline for public managers aiming to follow an innovative approach to smart development where tourism can still be a tool to enhance the attractiveness of the territory while considering its current and future impact on the city.
“Voices unheard: exploring the perception and attitude toward reporting elder mistreatment within Pakistani communities in the UK”
Authors: Talpur Ashfaque Ahmed , Ryan Tony , Hinchliff Sharron , Ejegi-Memeh Stephanie , Ali Parveen 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Elder mistreatment (EM) is a complex, universal health and social problem predominantly studied in the indigenous (white) populations of Western countries. This has led to consideration of dominant explanations as universal, potentially masking crucial cultural and ethnic differences. This study aims to fill the gap in elder mistreatment literature for the Pakistani community, offering unique perspectives to inform culturally sensitive policy recommendations.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative approach, anchored in the philosophical basis of constructivist grounded theory, was used to investigate understandings of EM among Pakistanis in Sheffield, UK. This involved two gender-based focus groups (male = 1; female = 1) and 22 in-depth individual interviews, engaging a diverse participant pool, including older people, family caregivers and community stakeholders.

Findings
This study reveals diverse understandings of elder mistreatment (EM) among Pakistani adults, varying across age and gender groups, with distinguished key forms identified. Reporting EM is crucial, but victims face complex decision-making, hindered by societal and individual barriers, including moral and cultural dilemmas. Access to formal support is limited, emphasising the need for targeted interventions.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to delve into the perspectives of Pakistanis on elder mistreatment. It emphasises the importance of policymakers and service providers integrating considerations of race, ethnicity, culture and gender to develop inclusive services, as indicated by the study’s findings.
Hybrid simulation-optimization approach for planning relief-aid distribution with a real-world case study
Authors: Rezeq Mohanad , Aouam Tarik , Gailly Frederik 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Authorities have set up numerous security checkpoints during times of armed conflict to control the flow of commercial and humanitarian trucks into and out of areas of conflict. These security checkpoints have become highly utilized because of the complex security procedures and increased truck traffic, which significantly slow the delivery of relief aid. This paper aims to improve the process at security checkpoints by redesigning the current process to reduce processing time and relieve congestion at checkpoint entrance gates.

Design/methodology/approach
A decision-support tool (clearing function distribution model [CFDM]) is used to minimize the effects of security checkpoint congestion on the entire humanitarian supply network using a hybrid simulation-optimization approach. By using a business process simulation, the current and reengineered processes are both simulated, and the simulation output was used to estimate the clearing function (capacity as a function of the workload). For both the AS-IS and TO-BE models, key performance indicators such as distribution costs, backordering and process cycle time were used to compare the results of the CFDM tool. For this, the Kerem Abu Salem security checkpoint south of Gaza was used as a case study.

Findings
The comparison results demonstrate that the CFDM tool performs better when the output of the TO-BE clearing function is used.

Originality/value
The efforts will contribute to improving the planning of any humanitarian network experiencing congestion at security checkpoints by minimizing the impact of congestion on the delivery lead time of relief aid to the final destination.
Before and during COVID-19: the roles of transformational leadership, organizational culture and work–life balance in healthcare
Authors: Gomes Giancarlo , Tontini Gérson , Krause Vania Montibeler , Bernardes Marianne 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis research aims to investigate the role of transformational leadership and organizational culture – encompassing Clan, Adhocracy, Hierarchical and Market Cultures – in the context of work–life balance for healthcare workers. It aims to present a comparison of observations made pre and mid-pandemic.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire was utilized to collect data from a varied sample of 355 employees (258 before and 97 during the pandemic) representing multiple sectors and positions within a hospital. The interpretation of the data was accomplished using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsFindings reveal that prior to the pandemic, transformational leadership significantly influenced all forms of organizational culture perceptions, with a strong influence on Clan Culture. Clan Culture displayed a consistent positive correlation with WLB both before and during the pandemic. During the pandemic, Market Culture exhibited a negative effect on WLB and Adhocracy Culture demonstrated a positive effect, impacts which were absent before the pandemic. Transformational leadership had a positive impact on WLB before the pandemic, but no discernible effect during the pandemic was observed.Originality/valueThe results indicate that the dynamics between transformational leadership, organizational culture and work–life balance are susceptible to alterations in the face of external crisis events. This study offers a unique exploration of these dynamics in the healthcare sector during the ongoing global pandemic.
Environmental, social and governance performance and firm value: does ownership concentration matter?
Authors: Truong Thi Hanh Dung 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis paper has a dual purpose: to produce a clear panorama of microfactors behind the implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) in emergent economies, and to identify long-term versus short-term implications of ESG and its impacts on sustainable transformation. In particular, the paper investigates the moderating role of ownership concentration on ESG performance and firm value relationship in Southeast Asia during 2010–2022 and COVID-19 period 2020–2022.Design/methodology/approachBy adopting stakeholder and agency theory lenses, this study analyzes 591 nonfinancial listed companies in Southeast Asia from 2010 to 2022 with 2,673 firm-year observations. Data has been collected from Refinitiv and companies' annual reports. Ordinary least squares (OLS) and two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimators are main strategies.FindingsDuring 2010–2022, the links between ESG performances and firm value are negative. Ownership concentration negatively moderates the nexus between governance pillar and firm value in both short and long run. In COVID-19, ownership concentration also plays an antagonistic moderating role in ESG combined score-firm value association. The results show a crucial role of blockholders in Southeast Asian firms and their strong support to ESG in conquering crisis period, suggesting that managers develop balancing mechanisms in making ESG-related decisions; policymakers and regulators improve effective control instruments with strong legal systems and enhanced law enforcement to protect minority shareholders.Originality/valueThis is the first study to test the connection between ESG performance, ownership concentration and firm value in Southeast Asia that has: (1) utilized different proxies of firm value and ownership concentration in robustness tests, (2) controlled heteroskedasticity defects, (3) eliminated companies in the Banking and Finance sector from the sample to avoid distorting the conclusions and (4) empirically verified the driven role of governance pillar in ESG performance and ownership concentration reversely moderated the impact of governance pillar on firm value.
Two cases of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis successfully treated with abrocitinib
Authors: Cai Liting , Yan Yunling , Li Yang , Lin Junjie , She Xinyan , Wang Xiaohua 
Published: May 2024

AbstractEosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is a rare, non‐infectious, inflammatory disease characterized by an eosinophil‐dominated infiltrate within and around pilosebaceous units. Sometimes, EPF manifests with eruptions in follicle‐free areas, although it is not common, and treatment may be difficult. In this case study we report two patients with refractory EPF who presented with eruptions of both classic follicle areas and follicle‐free areas. These two patients were successfully treated with abrocitinib after treatment failure with several traditional therapies, such as indomethacin, steroids, and cyclosporin. One patient achieved complete remission at week 4 and the other at week 1, with no reported adverse effects. Therefore, we believe that abrocitinib may be a viable and safe therapeutic option for refractory EPF.
Network structure indicators predict ecological robustness in food webs
Authors: Tang Yi , Wang Fengzhen , Zhou Wenhao 
Published: May 2024

AbstractFood web robustness is a critical aspect of ecosystem stability and has been extensively studied in ecology. However, the potential of machine learning techniques in predicting food web robustness and the identification of key network structure indicators have not been fully explored. We compared the suitability of different machine learning methods and assessed the relative importance of network structure indicators for predicting the robustness of food webs. We utilized a variety of food web datasets spanning different ecosystems to calculate network structure indicators, which include average distance (AD), betweenness centrality (BC), directional connectivity (C), closeness centrality (CC), diameter (D), degree centrality (DC), edge betweenness centrality (EBC), number of links (L), linkage density (LD), and number of nodes (N). We then compared the performance of machine learning methods, including artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and decision tree (DT), and evaluated the relative importance of network structure indicators on robustness predictions. The results demonstrate that the RF model has the best performance (MAE = 0.0178, RMSE = 0.0263, R2 = 0.9063). Meanwhile, the CC indicator has a significant impact in predicting robustness of food webs. It is suggested that both the RF model and the CC indicator should be considered seriously in predicting food web robustness. This research elucidates the differential outcomes when various machine learning methodologies and indicators are employed to predict the robustness of food webs. It significantly enhances our understanding by demonstrating the precise capability of machine learning models in forecasting the robustness of food webs.
Sonographic risk stratification of FDG‐avid thyroid nodules using the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System
Authors: Ren Tianchi , Lavender Ilona , Coombs Peter , Nandurkar Dee 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIntroductionThe increasing usage of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for detection and monitoring of malignancy has led to an increase in incidental detection of thyroid nodules. Nodules that demonstrate increased avidity for 2‐[18F]‐fluoro‐2‐deoxy‐d‐glucose (FDG) have been shown to carry a high incidence of malignancy and warrant further investigation. At present, there has been limited research on the risk stratification of FDG‐avid thyroid incidentalomas. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the ACR TIRADS classification in the risk stratification of such nodules.MethodsData were collected retrospectively for FDG‐avid thyroid incidentalomas over a 10‐year period. Nodules were characterised using the TIRADS classification and, subsequently, underwent fine‐needle aspirate cytology. Cytological findings were classified using the Bethesda reporting system. Non‐diagnostic samples (Bethesda class I) were excluded. The remaining samples were divided into two groups: benign (Bethesda class II) or suspicious for malignancy/malignant (Bethesda class III or above).ResultsThirty‐six percent of low‐risk nodules and 45% of high‐risk nodules were malignant, respectively (P = 0.516). The sensitivity and specificity of TIRADS for detection of malignant nodules were 56% and 54%, respectively. There were no malignant TIRADS 1 or 2 nodules. The absence of any suspicious sonographic features had a 1.0 negative predictive value.ConclusionsFDG‐avid nodules classified as TIRADS 1 or 2 or have no suspicious ultrasound features have a 0% incidence of malignancy and thus may not require further assessment with fine‐needle aspirate cytology (FNA) when detected incidentally. FDG‐avid nodules that are TIRADS 3 or above should undergo FNA regardless of size due to the high risk of malignancy and poor sensitivity of the TIRADS classification system.
