Authors: Truong Binh Thi Thanh , Nguyen Phuong V. , Vrontis Demetris , Inuwa Ibrahim 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThe objective of this study is to examine the relationships among intellectual capital (IC), environmental compliance, corporate innovation and social media usage with respect to their influence on overall business performance.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical model and related hypotheses are offered, all of which are grounded in both the resource-based view and social network theory. The data were collected through a well-structured questionnaire, and 330 responses from manufacturing firms in Vietnam were deemed appropriate for data analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsIC and social media usage have significantly positive effects on corporate innovation and business performance. Moreover, corporate innovation substantially enhances business performance. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that corporate innovation plays a partly mediating role in the research model. Meanwhile, IC fully mediates the relationship between environmental compliance and business performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis study offers valuable insights into intellectual capital, innovation, environmental compliance and social media usage for governments, practitioners and academics. Managers can incorporate social media usage strategies into their operational practices, enhancing environmental compliance, fostering innovation and ultimately promoting company success. Furthermore, the findings lead to practical recommendations for manufacturers seeking to adopt the CE model as part of taking a green production approach.Originality/valueOrganizational researchers have an ongoing interest in examining the connections among IC, innovation, environmental compliance and social media usage. Nevertheless, few papers have empirically investigated the interconnections among these constructs and their impact on organizational performance. This study examines these connections and provides concrete evidence for them.
Understanding and managing engagement journeys
Authors: Jaakkola Elina , Alexander Matthew 
Published: May 2024

PurposeExisting research on customer journeys has tended to focus on the customer’s purchase decision-making and firm-controlled touchpoints, overlooking indirect touchpoints where customer resources and behaviors influence the firm and other actors, beyond financial patronage. This article develops the concept of engagement journeys and discusses their implications on journey design and management.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual article synthesizes the customer journey and engagement literature to delineate the concept of engagement journeys. Insights from engagement research are reflected in the current journey management orthodoxy to provide novel implications for the management of engagement journeys.FindingsThe engagement journey is defined as the customer’s process of diverse brand-related resource investments in interactions with the brand/firm and/or other customers, reflecting the customer’s cognitive, emotional and behavioral disposition. The analysis outlines the manifestations and nature of different types of touchpoints along the engagement journey, and the novel requirements for journey management.Research limitations/implicationsThe developed conceptualization opens up new avenues in both journey and engagement research.Practical implicationsSome commonly held assumptions regarding journey quality and management do not hold true for engagement journeys, so there is a need for new approaches.Originality/valueDespite the proliferation of both journey and engagement research, only a handful of studies have considered the link between the concepts. The proposed novel conceptualization of an engagement journey breaks free from a predominant focus on purchase decisions. The analysis of engagement journeys and their management advances both customer journey and engagement research.
The transformative potential of AI-enabled personalization across cultures
Authors: Mehmood Khalid , Verleye Katrien , De Keyser Arne , Lariviere Bart 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
The widespread integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled personalization has sparked a need for a deeper understanding of its transformative potential. To address this, this study aims to investigate the mental models held by consumers from diverse cultures regarding the impact and role of AI-enabled personalization in their lives (i.e. individual well-being) and in society (i.e. societal well-being).

Design/methodology/approach
This paper uses the theories-in-use approach, collecting qualitative data via the critical incident technique. This data encompasses 487 narratives from 176 consumers in two culturally distinct countries, Belgium and Pakistan. Additionally, it includes insights from a focus group of six experts in the field.

Findings
This research reveals that consumers view AI-enabled personalization as a dual-edged sword: it may both extend and restrict the self and also contribute to an affluent society as well as an ailing society. The particular aspects of the extended/restricted self and the affluent/ailing society that emerge differ across respondents from different cultural contexts.

Originality/value
This cross-cultural research contributes to the personalization and well-being literature by providing detailed insight into the transformative potential of AI-enabled personalization while also having important managerial and policy implications.
Empowering frontline service employees: examining the link between psychological empowerment, prosocial motivation and proactive behavior through the lens of horizontal collectivism
Authors: Iqbal Juman , Shagirbasha Shameem , Madhan Kumar 
Published: May 2024

PurposeElucidating self-determination and psychological empowerment theories, the current study aims to examine the link between psychological empowerment and proactive behavior. Additionally, it delves into the mediating role of prosocial motivation and assesses the moderating effects of horizontal collectivism between psychological empowerment and proactive behavior, examining the moderated-mediation effects of horizontal collectivism.Design/methodology/approachA structured questionnaire was distributed in three waves (T1, T2 and T3) among frontline service hotel workers, out of which only 507 were retained and found useful for analysis. The study employed PROCESS macro models 4 and 8 for the analyses.FindingsThe results indicated that psychological empowerment is connected to proactive behavior through the partial mediation of prosocial motivation. Further, when horizontal collectivism is high, the favorable association between psychological empowerment and proactive behavior via prosocial motivation is stronger.Originality/valueProactive service workers have an innate tendency to contribute optimally to their organization. Yet, research is insufficient about the factors that lead to proactive behavior among frontline service hotel workers. To date, there are hardly any empirical studies that have examined the buffering effects of horizontal collectivism between psychological empowerment and proactive behavior, which contributes to the originality and novelty of our research. In addition, this study offers practical implications related to ways to improve psychological empowerment among frontline service hotel workers in the ever-increasing era of automation.
Effect of authentic leadership on nurses’ stress, burnout, presenteeism during COVID-19
Authors: Pillay Preeadashnie , Scheepers Caren Brenda , Diesel Rick 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has burdened the health-care system and exposed nurses to immense stress. This study therefore aims to investigate nurses’ mental well-being who are working with COVID-19-positive patients. Burnout leads to decreased productivity and manifests as emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation (cynicism) and low personal accomplishment (professional efficacy). Authentic leadership is built on a humanistic value system, which is the core value of nurses and other health-care professionals. This study therefore used authentic leadership as the independent variable.

Design/methodology/approach
A cross-sectional quantitative research method was adopted by distributing validated online questionnaires to 1,334 nurses in a private pathology laboratory and 241 questionnaires were analysed with 93.4% female respondents. Multiple linear regression model testing was conducted.

Findings
Multiple regression analyses showed statistically significant negative correlations between authentic leadership and emotional exhaustion, cynicism, job stress and job-stress-related presenteeism, and a positive correlation between authentic leadership and professional efficacy.

Practical implications
This study provides empirical data to encourage organisations to focus on developing authentic leaders to decrease nurses’ burnout, job stress and presenteeism. The health-care sector should strive to create an environment where nurses are valued and their talent is recognised to increase employee engagement and commitment.

Originality/value
There were two contributions in this study: first, to determine whether there is a relationship between authentic leadership job stress and job-stress-related presenteeism. Second, to determine whether there is a relationship between authentic leadership and the three sub-constructs of burnout.
Framing effect and disposition effect: investment decisions tools to understand bounded rationality
Authors: Kiky Andreas , Atahau Apriani Dorkas Rambu , Mahastanti Linda Ariany , Supatmi Supatmi 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the development of investment decision tools by understanding the rationality behind the disposition effect. We suspect that not all disposition decisions are irrational. The decisions should be evaluated based on the bounded rationality of the individuals’ target and tolerance level, which is not covered in previous literature. Adding the context of individual preference (target and tolerance) in their decision could improve the classic measurement of disposition effect.Design/methodology/approachThe laboratory web experiment is prepared to collect the responses in holding and selling the stocks within 14 days. Two groups of Gen Z investors are observed. The control group makes a decision based on their judgment without any system recommendation. In contrast, the second group gets help inputting their target and tolerance. Furthermore, the framing effect is also applied as a reminder of their target and tolerance to induce more holding decisions on gain but selling on loss.FindingsThe framing effect is adequate to mitigate the disposition effect but only at the early day of observation. Bounded rationality explains the rationality of liquidating the gain because the participants have reached their goal. The framing effect is not moderated by days to affect the disposition effect; over time, the disposition effect tends to be higher. A new measurement of the disposition effect in the context of bounded rationality is better than the original disposition effect coefficient.Practical implicationsGen Z investors need a system aid to help their investment decisions set their target and tolerance to mitigate the disposition effect. Investment firms can make a premium feature based on real-time market data for investors to manage their assets rationally in the long run. Bounded rationality theory offers more flexibility in understanding the gap between profit maximization and irrational decisions in behavioral finance. The government can use this finding to develop a suitable policy and ecosystem to help beginner investors understand investment risk and manage their assets based on subjective risk tolerance.Originality/valueThe classic Proportion Gain Realized (PGR) and Proportion Loss Realized (PLR) measurements cannot accommodate several contexts of users’ targets and tolerance in their choices, which we argue need to be re-evaluated with bounded rationality. Therefore, this article proposed new measurements that account for the users’ target and tolerance level to evaluate the rationality of their decision.
The framing of authority in the ACRL framework on information literacy: multidisciplinary perspectives on truth, authority, expertise and belief
Authors: Rose-Wiles Lisa M. 
Published: May 2024

PurposeThis paper engages multidisciplinary perspectives on truth, authority, expertise and belief to unpack and better understand the underlying epistemology and implications of the ACRL Frame “authority is constructed and contextual.”Design/methodology/approachFollowing an overview of the issues confronting us in a “post-truth world,” the paper reviews critiques of the ACRL Frame “authority is constructed and contextual” and examines the related concepts of truth, authority, expertise and belief from multidisciplinary perspectives.FindingsWhile the Frame acknowledges the limitations and biases of current scholarly publishing and implicitly supports social justice, it runs the danger of promoting relativism and is ambiguous regarding the relationships between expertise and authority. The critical concepts of truth and belief are conspicuously absent. Engaging a critical discussion and understanding of these concepts is a valuable contribution to information literacy.Originality/valueThis paper offers an important and accessible analysis of the frame “authority is constructed and contextual” and its underlying concepts. It moves beyond the library literature to include multidisciplinary perspectives and will require the engagement of the wider library community to promote discussion of the underlying epistemology and links between the construction of authority and truth, expertise and belief. In particular, the discussion of the construction of belief and the difference between judgments of fact and judgments of value offers important additions to the library literature.
Metaverse: the post--hype future
Authors: Marshall Anthony , Bieck Christian 
Published: May 2024

Purpose
Beyond its initial hype, and based on original new surveying, this paper explores the impact of metaverse on business in the medium to long-term.

Methodology
IBM Institute for Business Value, in collaboration with Oxford Economics, surveyed 400 C-Suite executives, (CEOs, CIO/CTOs and CMOs) in the U.S. across 25 industries on their investments in metaverse, business cases and outcomes.

Findings

Despite the media hype, the majority of investment in metaverse is B2B.
Although the biggest impacts of metaverse are medium to long-term, there are benefits immediately accessible in the short-term.
More success is likely if organizations develop metaverse strategies with ecosystem partners.

Research implications
Metaverse was extremely fashionable, now far less so. Both extremes are inappropriate. Metaverse, especially as a B2B strategy, has an important role to play in an organizations' strategy.

Practical implications
Many businesses are making investments in metaverse. They should continue.

Social implications
Metaverse impacts extends beyond B2C applications into the B2B workplace.

Originality and value
This work is completely original, based on new data and analysis that has not been published elsewhere.
A new highly accurate and efficient pure visco‐acoustic wave equation for tilted transversely isotropic attenuating media
Authors: Xiang Lei , Huang Jianping , Mao Qiang , Mu Xinru 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe propagation of seismic waves in attenuating anisotropic media exhibits amplitude dissipation and phase dispersion. To describe its effects, the fractional Laplacian pure visco‐acoustic wave equations capable of producing stable and noise‐free wavefields have been derived. However, except for acoustic approximation, previous wave equations utilize the approximations with lower accuracy in simplifying the denominator of the approximate complex‐valued dispersion relation, resulting in reduced accuracy. To address this concern, we use a combination of complex stiffness coefficients to replace the denominator term of the approximate complex‐valued dispersion relation. This approximation effectively reduces the loss of accuracy caused by ignoring the influence of the velocity anisotropy parameter ε and the attenuation anisotropy parameter εQ in the denominator term, leading to a wave equation with high accuracy in media with large anisotropic parameters ε and δ. In addition, the new wave equation only contains two high‐order spatial partial derivatives and has high computational efficiency. Theoretical analysis and numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed pure visco‐acoustic tilted transversely isotropic wave equation outperforms the previous pure visco‐acoustic wave equation in terms of simulation accuracy. The newly developed wave equation is well suited for the application of Q‐compensated reverse time migration and full waveform inversion in attenuating anisotropic media.
The spatiotemporal context of individual specialization in resource use and environmental associations
Authors: Costa‐Pereira Raul , Shaner Pei‐Jen Lee 
Published: May 2024

Abstract1. Individual niche specialization is widespread in natural populations and has key implications for higher levels of biological organization. This phenomenon, however, has been primarily quantified in resource niche axes, overlooking individual variation in environmental associations (i.e. abiotic conditions organisms experience).2. Here, we explore what we can learn from a multidimensional perspective of individual niche specialization that integrates resource use and environmental associations into a common framework.3. By combining predictions from theory and simple simulations, we illustrate how (i) multidimensional intraspecific niche variation and (ii) the spatiotemporal context of interactions between conspecifics scale up to shape emergent patterns of the population niche.4. Contemplating individual specialization as a multidimensional, unifying concept across biotic and abiotic niche axes is a fundamental step towards bringing this concept closer to the n‐dimensional niche envisioned by Hutchinson.

AbstractObjectivesTo explore associations between type and number of abnormal glucose values on antenatal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) with postpartum diabetes in South Asian women diagnosed with gestational diabetes (GDM) using International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria.MethodsThis post‐hoc evaluation of the Lifestyle Intervention IN Gestational Diabetes (LIVING) study, a randomized controlled trial, was conducted among women with GDM in the index pregnancy, across 19 centers in Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka. Postpartum diabetes (outcome) was defined on OGTT, using American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria.ResultsWe report data on 1468 women with GDM, aged 30.9 (5.0) years, and with median (interquartile range) follow‐up period of 1.8 (1.4–2.4) years after childbirth following the index pregnancy. We found diabetes in 213 (14.5%) women with an incidence of 8.7 (7.6–10.0)/100 women‐years. The lowest incidence rate was 3.8/100 women years, in those with an isolated fasting plasma glucose (FPG) abnormality, and highest was 19.0/100 women years in participants with three abnormal values. The adjusted hazard ratios for two and three abnormal values compared to one abnormal value were 1.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.18–2.54; p = .005) and 3.56 (95% CI, 2.46–5.16; p < .001) respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio for the combined (combination of fasting and postglucose load) abnormalities was 2.61 (95% CI, 1.70–4.00; p < .001), compared to isolated abnormal FPG.ConclusionsRisk of diabetes varied significantly depending upon the type and number of abnormal values on antenatal OGTT. These data may inform future precision medicine approaches such as risk prediction models in identifying women at higher risk and may guide future targeted interventions.image
Spain: Political Developments and Data in 2023
Authors: FERNÁNDEZ‐PASARÍN ANA MAR , BOHIGUES ASBEL 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe year 2023 was marked by a dense and turbulent political period. The country faced local and regional elections, snap elections and the reformulation of the left‐wing coalition government. Spain also chaired the Council of the European Union during the second semester. The victory of the right (the Partido Popular and Vox) in the local and regional elections held in May in 12 regions (Autonomous Communities), precipitated the call for general elections in July 2023. This process culminated in the renewal of the Sánchez coalition government with support from the Basque and Catalan pro‐independence parties and the exclusion of Podemos leaders from the new governing coalition. The decline of Podemos, the emergence of Sumar and the disappearance of Ciudadanos characterise the new Parliament. The reform of the law on sexual consent and the start of negotiations on a controversial amnesty law dominated the political agenda. In terms of the Spanish economy, the negotiation of an addendum to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan also stands out.
Differential effects of acute and prolonged morphine withdrawal on motivational and goal‐directed control over reward‐seeking behaviour
Authors: Halbout Briac , Hutson Collin , Agrawal Stuti , Springs Zachary A. , Ostlund Sean B. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractOpioid addiction is a relapsing disorder marked by uncontrolled drug use and reduced interest in normally rewarding activities. The current study investigated the impact of spontaneous withdrawal from chronic morphine exposure on emotional, motivational and cognitive processes involved in regulating the pursuit and consumption of food rewards in male rats. In Experiment 1, rats experiencing acute morphine withdrawal lost weight and displayed somatic signs of drug dependence. However, hedonically driven sucrose consumption was significantly elevated, suggesting intact and potentially heightened reward processing. In Experiment 2, rats undergoing acute morphine withdrawal displayed reduced motivation when performing an effortful response for palatable food reward. Subsequent reward devaluation testing revealed that acute withdrawal disrupted their ability to exert flexible goal‐directed control over reward seeking. Specifically, morphine‐withdrawn rats were impaired in using current reward value to select actions both when relying on prior action‐outcome learning and when given direct feedback about the consequences of their actions. In Experiment 3, rats tested after prolonged morphine withdrawal displayed heightened rather than diminished motivation for food rewards and retained their ability to engage in flexible goal‐directed action selection. However, brief re‐exposure to morphine was sufficient to impair motivation and disrupt goal‐directed action selection, though in this case, rats were only impaired in using reward value to select actions in the presence of morphine‐paired context cues and in the absence of response‐contingent feedback. We suggest that these opioid‐withdrawal induced deficits in motivation and goal‐directed control may contribute to addiction by interfering with the pursuit of adaptive alternatives to drug use.
