When employees understate their stress: defensive biasing in work stress surveys
Authors: Greulich Berit , König Cornelius J. , Mohr Ramona 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of defensive biasing in work stress surveys, which occurs when employees trivialize potential stressors and strains due to fear of negative consequences from their supervisors or management. This study aims to better understand the factors that influence this behavior and to develop a scale to measure it.Design/methodology/approachThe study used an online survey of 200 employees to investigate the factors influencing defensive biasing behavior. The researchers developed a scale for defensive biasing with the help of subject matter experts and derived possible factors from the literature. Participants were presented with a hypothetical scenario in which they imagined a work stress survey in their organization and were asked to answer related items. The data were analyzed using regression analysis.FindingsThe study found that defensive biasing behavior was significantly predicted by perceived anonymity and neuroticism. Participants who felt less anonymous and had higher levels of neuroticism were more likely to engage in defensive biasing. Job insecurity and trust in supervisors were not found to be significant predictors of defensive biasing.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on work stress surveys by developing a scale for defensive biasing and investigating the factors that influence this behavior. The study highlights the importance of making the survey process more transparent to reduce defensive biasing and obtain trustworthy results.
New institutional theory and AI: toward rethinking of artificial intelligence in organizations
Authors: Rudko Ihor , Bashirpour Bonab Aysan , Fedele Maria , Formisano Anna Vittoria 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This study, a theoretical article, aims to introduce new institutionalism as a framework through which business and management researchers can explore the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in organizations. Although the new institutional theory is a fully established research program, the neo-institutional literature on AI is almost non-existent. There is, therefore, a need to develop a deeper understanding of AI as both the product of institutional forces and as an institutional force in its own right.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors follow the top-down approach. Accordingly, the authors first briefly describe the new institutionalism, trace its historical development and introduce its fundamental concepts: institutional legitimacy, environment and isomorphism. Then, the authors use those as the basis for the queries to perform a scoping review on the institutional role of AI in organizations.

Findings
The findings reveal that a comprehensive theory on AI is largely absent from business and management literature. The new institutionalism is only one of many possible theoretical perspectives (both contextually novel and insightful) from which researchers can study AI in organizational settings.

Originality/value
The authors use the insights from new institutionalism to illustrate how a particular social theory can fit into the larger theoretical framework for AI in organizations. The authors also formulate four broad research questions to guide researchers interested in studying the institutional significance of AI. Finally, the authors include a section providing concrete examples of how to study AI-related institutional dynamics in business and management.
Investigating a manufacturing ecosystem in transition toward electric vehicles – a business model perspective
Authors: Rachinger Michael , Müller Julian M. 
Published: April 2024

PurposeBusiness Model Innovation is increasingly created by an ecosystem of related companies. This paper aims to investigate the transition of a manufacturing ecosystem toward electric vehicles from a business model perspective.Design/methodology/approachThe authors investigate an automotive manufacturing ecosystem that is in transition toward electric and electrified vehicles, conducting semi-structured interviews with 46 informants from 27 ecosystem members.FindingsThe results reveal that the actions of several ecosystem members are driven by regulations relating to emissions. Novel requirements regarding components and complementary offers necessitate the entry of actors from other industries and the formation of new ecosystem members. While the newly emerged ecosystem has roots in an established ecosystem, it relies on new value offers. Further, the findings highlight the importance of ecosystem governance, while the necessary degree of change in the members' business models depends on their roles and positions in the ecosystem. Therefore, upstream suppliers of components must perform business model adaptation, whereas downstream providers must perform more complex business model innovation.Originality/valueThe paper is among the first to investigate an entire manufacturing ecosystem and analyze its transition toward electric vehicles and the implications for business model innovation.

Further, there appeared to be no significant trend as to which academic department leadership programs were placed.Originality/valueThis study identifies commonly occurring classes in traditional leadership degrees, offering insights for the development of new programs and assessment of current leadership degrees.
Empowering leadership and organizational exploration: the role of preoccupation with failure and leader gender
Authors: Nizamidou Christina , Chatziioannou Anastasia , Gkorezis Panagiotis 
Published: April 2024

PurposeOrganizational exploration has recently emerged in the literature as an essential aspect of contemporary organizations. However, little is known about its antecedents and, specifically, the role of contemporary leadership styles. The present study investigates the relationship between empowering leadership and organizational exploration. In addressing this relationship, we examine preoccupation with failure and leader gender as a mediator and a moderator, respectively.Design/methodology/approachWe collected data from a sample of 326 US employees in March 2022. To test the present hypotheses, we used the PROCESS SPSS macro.FindingsOur results supported our moderated mediation model, demonstrating that the indirect relationship of empowering leadership with organizational exploration via preoccupation with failure is stronger for male leaders than for female counterparts.Practical implicationsConcerning the practical implications of this study, organizations should be cognizant of empowering leaders’ impact on desirable outcomes. Additionally, organizations should promote preoccupation with failure to ameliorate organizational exploration. Preoccupation with failure can be achieved when error reporting is encouraged by organizations and supervisors and when a culture that promotes constructive feedback is established.Originality/valueThe present study offers novel insights into the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions through which empowering leadership relates to organizational exploration. Additionally, it fills a gap in the literature concerning the relationship between empowering leadership and preoccupation with failure. Moreover, it adds to prior research regarding the outcomes of preoccupation with failure, filling the gap regarding the relationship between preoccupation with failure and organizational exploration. Lastly, it expands limited research focused on leader gender as a condition under which the effect of contemporary leadership styles could be enhanced or mitigated.
The relationship between sidewalk access and weight-related outcomes: a systematic review
Authors: Irankhah Kiyavash , Asadimehr Soheil , Ranjbar Golnaz , Kiani Behzad , Sobhani Seyyed Reza 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
To effectively combat the increasing rates of obesity, it is crucial to explore how environmental factors like sidewalk access impact weight-related outcomes. This study aimed to systematically examine the association between sidewalk accessibility and weight-related outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
Databases were searched by keywords for relevant articles, which were published before March 3, 2024, to report the role of neighborhood sidewalk access on weight-related outcomes. The main findings of the selected articles were extracted from eligible studies by two independent reviewers.

Findings
A total of 20 out of 33 studies indicated a significant negative relationship between access to sidewalks and weight-related outcomes. Three studies demonstrated an indirect relationship between access to sidewalks and weight-related outcomes by greater access to physical environments. In addition, five studies reported no clear relationship, and three studies reported a significantly positive relationship between access to sidewalks and weight-related outcomes.

Practical implications
In general, people who live in urban areas with better sidewalk access benefit from better weight-related outcomes. Adults showed this correlation more prominently than adolescents and children. Therefore, sidewalks that have a positive effect on physical activity levels could be considered as a preventive measure against obesity.

Originality/value
One of the weight-related outcomes is obesity. Every community faces numerous challenges due to obesity, which adversely affects the quality of life and health. Environmental factors such as access to sidewalks could be associated with body weight due to lifestyle influences.
National culture, religiosity, and audited financial statements of small-scale MNCs
Authors: Kontesa Maria , Brahmana Rayenda Khresna , You Hui Wei 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
The research objective starts from the argument that small-scale multinational corporations’ (SMNCs’) managerial behavior toward auditing decisions is influenced by their personal value, especially when the auditing process is not mandatory. This study aims to examine how national culture-religiosity affects that decision. The authors further examine how foreign-owned MNCs might behave differently from local MNCs, although the host country’s cultural-religiosity value might influence that decision.

Design/methodology/approach
This study obtains the data from three sources: Hofstede Framework, Pew Research Center and World Bank Enterprise Survey in cross-sectional mode. The final sample consists of 8,590 SMNCs from 45 countries as the observations. This study uses robust regression analysis to test the effects of culture, religiosity and controlling shareholders on the audited financial statements decision.

Findings
The regression results support the hypothesis, whereas cultural-religiosity values are associated with the audited financial report. The findings confirm stakeholder theory and institutional theory.

Originality/value
This study fills a gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence on the cultural and religiosity effects on the accounting decision of SMNCs. The results can be used as the foundation for future research related to MNCs’ managerial behavior toward accounting policies, especially with the psychosocial factors.

Published: April 2024

PurposeThis study uses a comprehensive theoretical framework that combines social cognitive theory and neighborhood effect to investigate the influence of neighborhood effects on farmers’ outcome expectations, observational learning and self-efficacy. This study aims is to analyze the mechanisms that underlie the adoption of social media by farmers for knowledge exchange in the agricultural context. Specifically, this research explores the role of neighborhood effects, outcome expectations, observational learning and self-efficacy in shaping farmers’ decision-making process regarding the use of social media platforms for exchanging agricultural knowledge.Design/methodology/approachThe study data was collected through a sample survey conducted among 570 agricultural households residing in the provinces of Thai Nguyen, Cao Bang, Bac Kan and Phu Tho, located in the northern region of Vietnam. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling was used as the statistical technique of choice.FindingsThe findings of the study indicate a significant influence of neighborhood effects on outcome expectations, observational learning and self-efficacy. These factors, derived from social cognitive theory, also exhibit a positive association with farmers’ adoption of social media for knowledge exchange. Additionally, the study highlights that neighborhood contribute to a favorable adoption of social media among farmers via outcome expectations, observational learning, and self-efficacy.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited in examining farmers’ social media adoption for agriculture knowledge exchange in Northern mountainous area of Vietnam. This study could be replicated across various regions or nations, providing comparative insights into the adoption of social media among farmers for knowledge exchange.Practical implicationsThe study findings suggest practical and innovative means to promote farmers’ social media adoption for agriculture knowledge exchange.Originality/valueThis study presents a pioneering approach by integrating social cognitive theory and neighborhood effect to elucidate the factors influencing farmers’ adoption of social media for the purpose of agriculture knowledge exchange.
Hospital corridors as lived spaces: The reconfiguration of social boundaries during the early stages of the Covid pandemic
Authors: Faux‐Nightingale Alice , Kelemen Mihaela , Lilley Simon , Robinson Kerry , Stewart Caroline 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article explores the meanings and uses of a hospital corridor through 98 diary entries produced by the staff of an English specialist hospital during the early stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Drawing on Lefebvre's (1991, The production of space. Blackwell) threefold theorisation of space, corridors are seen as conceived, perceived and lived spaces, produced through and enabling the reconfiguration and reinterpretation of social interactions. The diaries depict two distinct versions of the central hospital corridor: its ‘normal’ operation prior to the pandemic when it was perceived as a social and symbolic space for collective sensemaking and the ‘COVID‐19 empty corridor’ described as a haunting place that divided hospital staff along ostensibly new social and moral boundaries that impacted negatively on lived work experiences and staff relationships. The mobilisation of the central hospital corridor in the daily social construction of meaning and experience during a period of organisational and societal crisis suggests that corridors should not be only seen as a material backdrop for work relationships but as social entities that come into being and are maintained and reproduced through the (lack of) performance of social relations.
BmATAD3A mediates mitochondrial ribosomal protein expression to maintain the mitochondrial energy metabolism of the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Published: April 2024

AbstractATAD3A is a mitochondrial membrane protein belonging to the ATPase family that contains the AAA+ domain. It is widely involved in mitochondrial metabolism, protein transport, cell growth, development and other important life processes. It has previously been reported that the deletion of ATAD3A causes growth and development defects in humans, mice and Caenorhabditis elegans. To delve into the mechanism underlying ATAD3A defects and their impact on development, we constructed a Bombyx mori ATAD3A (BmATAD3A) defect model in silkworm larvae. We aim to offer a reference for understanding ATAD3A genetic defects and elucidating the molecular regulatory mechanisms. The results showed that knockout of the BmATAD3A gene significantly affected the weight, survival rate, ATPase production and mitochondrial metabolism of individuals after 24 h of incubation. Combined metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis further demonstrated that BmATAD3A knockout inhibits amino acid biosynthesis through the regulation of mitochondrial ribosomal protein expression. Simultaneously, our findings indicate that BmATAD3A knockout impeded mitochondrial activity and ATPase synthesis and suppressed the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway through B. mori mitochondrial ribosomal protein L11 (BmmRpL11). These results provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in the inhibition of development caused by ATAD3A deficiency, offering a potential direction for targeted therapy in diseases associated with abnormal ATAD3A expression.
Impact of outside referral and dental extractions on package time with post‐operative radiation therapy for head and neck cancer
Authors: Nguyen Joseph , McLaughlin Christopher 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIntroductionPatients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) often receive post‐operative radiotherapy (RT). A package time between surgery and completion of RT of ≤100 days is associated with lower recurrence and longer survival. In this study, we investigate the impact of outside referral and dental extractions on package time, with secondary detriment to relapse‐free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).MethodsWe conducted a retrospective chart review on patients with HNSCC who received primary surgical resection at an academic medical centre.ResultsNinety‐four patients met eligibility criteria, 35% experienced recurrence, and 21% died. Median package time was 89.5 days, with 76% of patients achieving a package time ≤100 days. Receiving RT in‐house was associated with a shorter package time (P = 0.0004) and higher completion rate within 100 days (P = 0.01). Dental extractions did not affect package time. A Kaplan–Meier analysis was performed to study survival, and a package time ≤100 days was not associated with a change in RFS or OS. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to investigate other factors hypothesized to impact patient survival; none had an effect on RFS, but cancer stage had an effect on OS (P = 0.01).ConclusionsWe identified that outside referrals, but not dental extractions, prolong treatment package times. We also saw no effect of package time on RFS or OS. These results suggest that patients requesting outside facility referrals for RT may benefit from a streamlined program that expedites the referral process.
Expanding urological services into regional Australia and reducing interhospital transfers: how the nurse practitioner can help
Authors: Willder S. , Kelsey E. , O'Connor E. , Grills R. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundA visiting urology service has been in existence at Hamilton Base Hospital, Western Victoria, over the past 25 years, serving an unmet need. A Urology Nurse Practitioner (UNP) provides the care and management of urology patients working in close association with visiting urologists. We aim to assess the impact of the UNP's role in the delivery of regional urological care.MethodsA retrospective analysis of medical records identified all clinical interventions by the UNP between January 2016 and December 2019. Each encounter was graded according to a clinical severity scale from grade 1 to 5 and assessed for UNP management of patients and the prevention of interhospital transfers.ResultsOne hundred eighty‐four patients with 654 individual assessments were identified for inclusion and classified according to the adapted clinical severity scale. Most interventions for category 3 and 4 patients related to major bleeding, catheter difficulties, and haemodynamic instability. A total of 19 patients whose urological issues would typically require interhospital transfer were able to be managed locally.ConclusionsTransferring an acute patient from a regional to a tertiary hospital for specialist care is often necessary but not ideal for the patient and their family. The presence of a dedicated UNP in a regional centre is important for patient care and has an important role in preventing unnecessary transfers. This is a vital component of a visiting urological service to a rural community.

Published: April 2024

Background and PurposeThe spinal cord is a key structure involved in the transmission and modulation of pain. Pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating peptide (PACAP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), are expressed in the spinal cord. These peptides activate G protein‐coupled receptors (PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2) that could provide targets for the development of novel pain treatments. However, it is not clear which of these receptors are expressed within the spinal cord and how these receptors signal.Experimental ApproachDissociated rat spinal cord cultures were used to examine agonist and antagonist receptor pharmacology. Signalling profiles were determined for five signalling pathways. The expression of different PACAP and VIP receptors was then investigated in mouse, rat and human spinal cords using immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.Key ResultsPACAP, but not VIP, potently stimulated cAMP, IP1 accumulation and ERK and cAMP response element‐binding protein (CREB) but not Akt phosphorylation in spinal cord cultures. Signalling was antagonised by M65 and PACAP6–38. PACAP‐27 was more effectively antagonised than either PACAP‐38 or VIP. The patterns of PAC1 and VPAC2 receptor‐like immunoreactivity appeared to be distinct in the spinal cord.Conclusions and ImplicationsThe pharmacological profile in the spinal cord suggested that a PAC1 receptor is the major functional receptor subtype present and thus likely mediates the nociceptive effects of the PACAP family of peptides in the spinal cord. However, the potential expression of both PAC1 and VPAC2 receptors in the spinal cord highlights that these receptors may play differential roles and are both possible therapeutic targets.
