Entrepreneurial collective efficacy and team effectiveness in new venture teams: an investigation of moderated mediation mechanisms
Authors: Chen Ying , Klyver Kim , Zhou Xiaohu 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
Based on the collective agentic perspective of social cognitive theory and supplemented by social support theory, this study aims to investigate how the entrepreneurial collective efficacy of entrepreneurial teams impacts team effectiveness. Specifically, this study hypothesizes that entrepreneurial collective efficacy is a critical factor affecting effectiveness through the mechanism of instrumental support to varying extents, depending on team size.

Design/methodology/approach
The hypotheses were tested on a Chinese sample of new venture teams (N teams = 81; N individuals = 335). A multisource questionnaire that included questions for team leaders and other team decision makers was designed. The data on entrepreneurial collective efficacy (six items) and instrumental support (four items) comprised the aggregate responses from all team members; the data on team effectiveness (seven items) was reported by team leaders.

Findings
The findings indicate that entrepreneurial collective efficacy is positively associated with team effectiveness through instrumental support, especially in small teams.

Originality/value
This study makes important contributions to the research related to exploring in uncertain environments (entrepreneurship) how (instrumental support) entrepreneurial collective efficacy impacts team effectiveness, as well as more particularly under what conditions (team size), all within the specific context of collectivistic cultures (China).
The close complementarity of museums and theme parks as a tourist package in European capital cities
Authors: Florido-Benítez Lázaro 
Published: June 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyse museums and theme parks as a tourist package and how the proximity of airports to the city and public transport influence the development of this tourist package to stimulate tourism demand in cities.Design/methodology/approachQualitative and quantitative indicators have been applied in our methodology to measure the most visited European theme parks and museums from 2012 to 2022. Moreover, the localisation of airports has allowed us to address the importance of theme parks and museums in cities and their regional economies.FindingsThe results suggest that the location of the city, entertainment complementary activity, airport proximity, intermodal passenger transport, air and train accessibility, tourism demand and supply, and a high concentration of population in cities have a high influence on the development of a tourist package that includes museums and theme parks to stimulate the tourism demand in European urban cities. London and Paris are two of the most visited cities in the world, and these are the most attractive European cities for tourists in terms of efficiency because tourists can optimize much better their space and time to visit the city’s tourist attractions during their holidays. Another important finding is that the public transport service plays an important role in museums and theme parks’ visits and the optimization of space-time for tourists when they are visiting a city and its tourist attractions on holidays, especially subways, trains and buses. Although time-space measures of accessibility in public transport in cities must be improved to optimize the time of the native population and tourists.Originality/valueThis research shows the complementary role of museums and theme parks as an attractive tourist package and an entertainment, cultural and educational activity to improve the quality of tourism supply and redistribute tourist flows in European countries. Moreover, there are limited studies that tackle the theme of parks and museums in a tourism context.
Inner struggle or identity fit – control configurations that improve management accountants’ sense of their identity
Authors: Burghardt Janine , Moeller Klaus 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate which configurations of organizational-level and group-level management controls support an identity fit for management accountants in the management accounting profession. It aims to complement recent qualitative management accounting research. This stream just begun to use role and identity theory to investigate role expectations, conflicts and coping strategies of management accountants when they struggle with their work identity.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on configuration theory, this study uses a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to indicate all possible configurations of formal and informal management controls that improve management accountants’ sense of their identity in an organization. The analyses are based on the results of a cross-sectional survey of 277 management accountants from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

Findings
The results show that a strong group culture and high psychological safety at the group level are relevant conditions for a high identity fit. Further, the configurations differ regarding the career stages of management accountants.

Originality/value
This study contributes to work identity research of management accountants and to research on formal and informal control configurations as a control package. It is of particular importance for various professions that are affected by role change, as from the findings on management accountants’ identity fit, implications can also be made for other organizational functions that need to engage in identity work.
The process of co-creating destination brand – the case of the Athens Tourism Partnership
Authors: Vlassi Eirini , Papatheodorou Andreas 
Published: June 2024

Purpose
While the value of stakeholder involvement in destination marketing and branding has been emphasized, little research has been conducted on the inner workings of collaborative initiatives. Based on the case of the Athens Tourism Partnership, Greece, this study aims to map the value co-creation process as it unfolds in joint destination marketing and branding initiatives.

Design/methodology/approach
To capture the way partners collaborated to create the brand of the city, this study collected data through participant observation and analyzed it using Classical Grounded Theory principles.

Findings
The study reveals the different types of relationships and their characteristics that develop when an airline-airport-destination authority partnership is established to enhance destination brand and the potential dynamics of the collaborative initiatives.

Originality/value
The FiNE framework has been developed and can guide stakeholders who wish to collaborate to co-create the destination brand. This study offers theoretical and practical implications for destination authorities and tourism stakeholders to initiate, manage and implement collaborative initiatives that may empower the destination brand and deliver win-win outcomes.

Published: June 2024

PurposeDrawing from the theory of reasoned action, this study investigated the moderators of the relationship between turnover intentions and performance at work.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed hierarchical multiple regression to test three proposed hypotheses regarding the above relationship. It used 1,011 dyad data from employees and their supervisors from eight professional organizations in Vietnam from employees and their supervisors to reduce research bias.FindingsEmployee attitude toward change and the level of job engagement of the employee affected the nature of the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance. When the attitude toward change was less favorable, the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance was positive. However, when the attitude toward change was more favorable, the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance was non-significant. For the moderating role of job engagement, we found that for employees with a high level of job engagement, the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance was positive. However, for employees with a low level of job engagement, the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance was non-significant.Practical implicationsUnlike the implications from previous research, turnover intentions of employees might not adversely affect their performance. Under two conditions – a high level of job engagement and a less favorable attitude toward change - employees with turnover intentions might actually perform better.Originality/valueUnlike the vast number of studies that have investigated the relationship between job performance and turnover intentions (as a proxy of turnover), this paper focuses on the relationship between turnover intentions and job performance to show evidence for two important boundary conditions.

Published: June 2024

PurposeKey core technology is the most important weapon of the country, and breaking through the “strangled” problem is one of the real problems that China’s emerging industries and enterprises must solve. Accurately identifying the “strangled” problem will help China accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and win the battle against key core technologies.Design/methodology/approachCombined with the characteristics of key core technologies, the key core technology evaluation system was constructed from four dimensions: technology innovation, technology radiation, technology economy and technology safety. We adopt the entropy TOPSIS method to evaluate the patents, and the patents with the top 5% scores are identified as key core technology patents. Then, this study identifies key core technology “strangled” problems in three dimensions: technology value advantage, competitive advantage and quantitative advantage.FindingsTaking the patent data of the global new generation information technology industry from 2011 to 2023 as a sample, 178 moderately “strangled” technologies and 49 severely “strangled” technologies are selected. The study results are consistent with the current situation of the new generation information technology industry’s development, and verify the feasibility and reliability of the key core technology “strangled” problem identification model.Originality/valueThis study uses patent data to identify key core technologies and “Strangled” in the new generation information technology industry. It can provide a reference for relevant national departments and agencies, as well as universities and enterprises.

Published: June 2024

Purpose The aim of the study is to identify best practices from Business Excellence (BE) award-winning organizations on the use of their BE self-assessment (internal assessment) and third-party assessment (external assessment including BE award assessments) for organizational improvement.Design/methodology/approach An explanatory sequential mixed methods approach was used to gather data from 50 organizations across 17 countries with varying degrees of BE maturity. Twenty of these, representing 40% of the sample, then participated in semi-structured interviews through which their understanding of the impacts of various practices was explored in more detail. From this sub-sample, three (3) emerged as exemplars used as the case studies reported here.Findings The findings from the first and broader study of the 50 organizations demonstrate a diverse approach to BE assessments, much of which is tailored to the maturity level of each organization. BE organizations with a high BE maturity level are more likely to conduct regular self-assessments and certificate assessment. Key practices identified in the case study organizations were their unique approach to preparing the organization for assessments irrespective of the BE award criteria, the use of mock assessments to prepare for award assessments, the use of customer-led assessments, thorough action plan review process, the use of internal assessments to grow internal capabilities, participation in regular award assessments, the use of external BE assessors and experts for assessments, increased use of technology to support the assessment process, and varying assessment types by organizational BE maturity.Originality/value This research provides a specific and valuable contribution to the existing BE literature by presenting contemporary, real-world examples of best practices in BE assessment. It offers a unique perspective on how award-winning organizations tailor their strategies to meet diverse business needs and strategic objectives.
Upper limit magnitudes for induced seismicity in energy industries
Authors: Cao Ngoc‐Tuyen , Eisner Leo , Jechumtálová Zuzana , Verdon James , Waheed Umair Bin 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWe adopt extreme value theory to estimate the upper limit of the next record‐breaking magnitudes of induced seismic events. The methodology is based on order statistics and does not rely on knowledge of the state of the subsurface reservoir or injection strategy. The estimation depends on the history of record‐breaking events produced by the anthropogenic activities. We apply the methodology to three different types of industrial operations: natural gas production, saltwater disposal and hydraulic fracturing. We show that the upper limit estimate provides a reliable and realistic upper bound for magnitudes of the record‐breaking events in investigated datasets including 15 publicly available datasets. The predicted magnitudes do not overestimate the observed magnitudes by more than 1.0 magnitude unit and underestimation is rare, probably resulting from insufficient sampling of the statistical distribution of the induced seismicity. The richest dataset, sourced from downhole and surface monitoring of the Preston New Road hydraulic fracturing, provides reliable estimates of the magnitudes over three orders of magnitudes with only slight underprediction of the largest observed event. While the detection of weaker events improves the performance of the method, we show that it can be applied even with a few observed record‐breaking events to provide reliable estimates of magnitudes. However, care must be taken to ensure that event catalogues are estimated consistently across a range of magnitudes.
Suppression of reed canarygrass by assisted succession: A sixteen‐year restoration experiment

Abstract

Assisted succession could enable long‐term restoration where successional trajectories stall due to competition from invasive plants. Many invasives are shade‐intolerant; therefore, interventions reducing light availability should suppress invasion and re‐establish successional processes. However, given how ubiquitous nonlinearities are in ecology, restoration success also depends on identifying critical system thresholds, for example invader abundances below which regeneration of desired species is possible. We report the successful use of assisted succession to restore a swamp forest invaded by Phalaris arundinacea (reed canarygrass; hereafter Phalaris), initiated by a high‐density planting of woody species to outcompete Phalaris by reducing light availability.

We established five pre‐planting treatments in a Phalaris near‐monoculture in Wisconsin, USA: herbicide‐only, herbicide+plough, herbicide+burn, mow+herbicide and control. In 2003 we planted 22 tree and shrub species at high densities, then in 2019 we censused the site to: (1) screen for long‐term differences among treatments, (2) evaluate long‐term effects of our interventions on community composition and (3) characterize the critical thresholds that enable invader suppression and restoration success.

Vegetation responses and light availability across our four pre‐planting invader removal treatments did not differ. Late fall glyphosate application suppressed Phalaris long enough that a dense canopy of native woody species could establish and eventually out‐shade it. Overstory tree and shrub densities of 0.071/m2 suppressed Phalaris to 50% cover, but, due to nonlinearities, much higher densities were needed to reduce light availability and thus Phalaris cover enough to shift the system from being invader‐dominated. Compositional similarities between juvenile woody species and the overstory suggest a long‐term restoration success.

Synthesis and applications. Invasive species management and the restoration of target plant communities can be aided by assisting successional trajectories that have stalled. We document a restoration strategy for forests invaded by shade‐intolerant invaders that is both effective and economical, as only a simple site preparation and single planting effort is required. Establishing a dense canopy of woody species in this way can break the feedbacks maintaining invader dominance and re‐introduce feedbacks enabling long‐term ecosystem recovery. We also illustrate the value of identifying critical thresholds influencing the abundance and impact of key invasive species.
Unpacking the behavioural outcomes of internal crisis communication: Underlining nexus of employee task performance, crisis responsibility and work well‐being to improve organizational reputation
Authors: Adamu Adamu Abbas , Raza Syed Hassan , Mohamad Bahtiar 
Published: June 2024

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic has redefined the corporate sector's communication requirements to maintain organizational reputation among employees. This situation has led to lacklustre organizational performance and a decline in employee well‐being. However, little is known about how the sophisticated execution of internal crisis communication can foster productive employee responses. This study examines how internal communication during times of crisis strengthens employee task performance and well‐being, both of which are crucial for organizational success following the COVID‐19 pandemic. Drawing inspiration from situational crisis communication theory, the study primarily investigates the outcomes of internal crisis communication that generate favourable employee perceptions of their organization. A quantitative survey of 384 employees from various organizations was conducted, and the results indicated that efficient internal crisis communication enhances employee task performance, boosts employee well‐being and reduces crisis attribution, thus promoting employee behaviour that improves reputation. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature in public relations focused on understanding the psychological mechanisms underlying positive employee behavioural intentions during times of crisis. More importantly, strategic internal communication and maintaining a human element in employee interactions will benefit organizations in the long run. Practical implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed.
Do 360‐character Wireless Emergency Alert messages work better than 90‐character messages? Testing the risk communication consensus
Authors: Carlson Elizabeth J. , Bean Hamilton , Ratcliff Chelsea , Pokharel Manu , Barbour Joshua 
Published: June 2024

AbstractBased on early evidence, risk communication scholars have come to believe that longer (360‐character maximum) mobile public warning messages generate more compliance than shorter (90‐character maximum) messages. This study used an experimental design to test that premise. The study measured participants' (N = 481) likelihood of compliance in response to a mock Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) message, as well as alternatives to immediate compliance: seeking additional information, taking non‐recommended action, or ignoring the message. The study found that both longer and shorter messages generated relatively high levels of compliance, but longer messages did not generate higher levels of compliance. Rather than message length, risk personalization and hazard experience were stronger differentiators of WEA message response outcomes. Results included a moderation effect: Shorter messages produced slightly greater compliance than longer messages among people who reported lower levels of risk personalization. The study concluded that 90‐character messages may be more effective than previously believed. Consequently, the authors recommend renewed focus on public safety communication related to risk personalization and hazard experience.
Delayed positive responses of snowshoe hares to prescribed burning in a fire‐adapted ecosystem
Authors: Gigliotti L. C. , Boyd E. S. , Diefenbach D. R. 
Published: June 2024

AbstractWildlife populations near the periphery of a species’ range are vulnerable to changes in habitat conditions and climate. However, habitat management and maintenance can help with the persistence of these susceptible populations. Snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus) populations near the southern extent of their range are at risk of extirpation because of changing winter conditions, coupled with reduced early‐successional habitat. Prescribed fire has been used to restore and maintain early‐successional habitat in the southern range of snowshoe hares, but previous research suggests that burned areas might initially be unsuitable for hares. Therefore, more information is needed on the time required for hares to start using an area post‐burning, and the long‐term effects of prescribed fire on hare survival. We studied snowshoe hare habitat use and survival in northeastern Pennsylvania, where prescribed fire has been used for scrub oak barrens restoration. We used GPS locations from 71 hares and used resource selection functions to analyze hare selection for burned habitats of varying ages (0–12 years post‐burn) and known‐fate survival models to evaluate the effects of burning on survival. Hares started using burned areas ≥7 years post‐burning but avoided areas burned 0–6 years prior. In addition, hare survival was positively associated with the amount of old burn habitat (≥7 years post‐burn) used by an individual. Our results indicate that prescribed burning can be beneficial for hares, but that a time lag of ≥7 years is necessary for positive responses to occur. Planning burns within a mosaic of unburned areas could allow hares to persist during the 0–6 years post‐burn when areas are not suitable for hares, which in turn could benefit the persistence of southern snowshoe hare populations. Collectively, our results highlight the importance of long‐term demographic monitoring to understand wildlife population responses to management actions.
