Enhancing migrants’ job performance: the role of employees’ dynamic capabilities driven by the perceived meaning of life
Authors: Bieńkowska Agnieszka , Kubiciel-Lodzińska Sabina , Maj Jolanta , Tworek Katarzyna 
Published: January 2025

PurposeAmidst dynamic global changes, migrant workforce dynamics have become complex due to voluntary and forced migrations, coupled with talent competition. Paradoxically, many migrants experience deskilling and brain waste in host countries. To optimize migrant skills for enhanced job performance in fluctuating organizational and environmental contexts, it is vital to overcome this challenge. This study aims to verify the employees’ dynamic capabilities (EDC) based job performance model among migrants, exploring how the moderating effect of a meaning of life influences the relationship between EDC and job performance, considering job-related attitudes.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted empirical research based on a survey of 453 Ukrainian migrants currently residing in Poland.FindingsThe results indicate that EDC influences job performance through person-job fit, work motivation, and job satisfaction. Particularly, migrants with a positive meaning of life show stronger relationships between EDC and job performance.Originality/valueThe article’s originality lies in exploring the concept of EDC within the context of migrant workers, bridging a gap in understanding how these capabilities impact job performance, particularly regarding brain waste and deskilling. The study delves into how EDC could mitigate the mismatch between migrant workers’ qualifications and job placements, thereby enriching international human resources management strategies to foster inclusive workplaces and enhance migrant workforce success.
Job seekers’ perceptions of corporate social responsibility practices (CSRP) and organisational attractiveness: a multi­group analysis
Authors: Ali Esrafil , R. Gupta Deepika 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to model the impact of corporate social responsibility practices (CSRP) on job seekers’ organisational attractiveness (JSA) with particular reference to two Indian states, i.e. Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Odisha (OD). Further, the paper examines whether there are any significant variations in the perception of job seekers in these two states.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample for this exploratory research consisted of 943 business management students of AP and OD. The model was developed using the hierarchical component model method, and the associations were examined using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Furthermore, PLS-multi group analysis (PLS-MGA) was used to analyse the specific differences between two sample groups.

Findings
The study found that the CSR constructs, i.e. economical, legal, ethical and philanthropic, have a positive significant effect on CSRP for both groups of job seekers. The study also argued that the company selection by job seekers based on high or low CSR practices has no moderating effect on both sample groups for economical, legal, ethical and philanthropic dimensions. Further, the result revealed that the age and gender variables could not make any significant differences in the perceptions of job seekers.

Practical implications
The study provides research-based insights to relevant stakeholders (institutions, corporate, government and policymakers) that would be used in formulating strategies to strengthen the relationship between CSRP and JSA.

Originality/value
The study investigates CSR’s effect on organisational attractiveness from the theoretical lens of Carroll’s pyramid for two groups of job seekers. Limited studies have examined the complexity of this association with such a research context. The result guides educators, corporate, governments, practitioners and job seekers working on CSRP and JSA.
Achieving food supply chain sustainability through digital sharing platforms: prospects in China
Authors: Tian Shuang , Wu Lin , Pawar Kulwant S. 
Published: January 2025

PurposeCharacterised by simultaneous food waste and shortages, our current food system is far from sustainable. Industry 4.0 has responded with technology-enabled innovations, including digital food-sharing platforms aimed at facilitating the efficient redistribution of surplus food. However, potential users often express reluctance to adopt such platforms, prompting this study to explore the underlying reasons for their hesitations.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted in China, the world’s largest platform economy, where food-sharing platforms are notably absent. Using a vignette-based qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 35 potential users. The data were analysed through thematic analysis to uncover insights into adoption intentions.FindingsThe findings highlight the relevance of factors identified in existing technology acceptance theories, such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, facilitating conditions and price value, in shaping adoption intentions. Additionally, content-specific and context-specific factors – such as trust in other users and the platform, concerns about “losing face” (mianzi) and safety concerns during the pandemic – emerged as critical influences on users' decisions to engage with these platforms.Originality/valueThis study contributes to scholarly discussions on enhancing the effectiveness of new technological innovations for food supply chain sustainability. The theoretical contributions expand the technology acceptance literature by incorporating factors related to platform service content and operating context.
Mapping the mindset for personal financial planning
Authors: Gupta Shelly , Mohammad Firoz 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between the big five personality traits and personal financial planning (PFP) by focusing on the mediating role of mental accounting among Indian service sector employees.

Design/methodology/approach
The present study used a data set comprising 649 valid responses obtained through the structured questionnaire that was specifically disseminated to employees working in the Indian service sector. Further, the study used a quantitative approach, partial least squares structural equation modeling, to examine the hypothesized relationship.

Findings
The study’s outcomes reveal that mental accounting completely mediates the relationship between conscientiousness and PFP. In addition, extraversion and neuroticism traits have directly influenced the PFP, but in the presence of mental accounting, these traits have partially influenced the PFP. Furthermore, the results suggest that agreeableness directly affects PFP, whereas openness does not demonstrate any significant influence.

Originality/value
The existing literature within the field of PFP has primarily focused on exploring various variables associated with mental accounting, such as monetary and time costs, mental budgeting process and tax liabilities. However, it has overlooked the potential mediating effect of mental accounting. This study bridges this gap by investigating the impact of mental accounting as a mediator in the relationship between personality traits and PFP. Moreover, recently, the Indian economy has undergone major overhauls especially due to enactment of Goods and Services Tax and the profound impact of COVID-19, leading to changes in financial behavior of individuals. Therefore, this study endeavors to shed light on the emerging dynamics within the PFP domain, particularly within the context of the newly accustomed economic circumstances in India.

Published: January 2025

PurposeThe aim of this paper is a first attempt to map and describe airline information systems (IS) market, in the context of the latest trends affecting air services distribution, revenue management (RM) and passengers in the airline industry.Design/methodology/approachRM evolution has greatly affected airline revenues and load factors in a global environment characterized by fierce competition. The distribution of air services has shifted gradually from a model dependent on travel agents and other intermediaries toward a new trend of do-it-yourself (DIY) bookings through the Internet. The resulting new and significantly more complex environment mandates the connection between revenue management systems (RMS) and reservation systems (RS) through third parties (aggregators) that have emerged and are ready to perform this task. In this context, a market review has been carried out, following the approach of a structured literature review to illustrate this ecosystem.FindingsData collected from the vendors depict the market size and capabilities, highlighting that the market for IS in the airline industry is based on a relational triangle of dependence and competition that includes RS, RMS and aggregators.Originality/valueMapping both technological and functional backgrounds and the operation of current distribution systems and their linking with RMS and methods is deemed a necessity for identifying and describing the mechanisms that are defining the B2B relationship and the subsequent need to improve the ways current distribution schemes combined with RM applications are addressing changing market needs, reflecting the new behavioral models of the customers.
Climate change impacts on blanket peatland in Great Britain

Abstract

Peatland restoration has been suggested as a key method for the UK to meet national, legally binding climate targets. This can involve blocking up drainage ditches or erosion features, as well as encouraging regeneration of peatland vegetation through Sphagnum reintroduction or removal of scrub or trees. It is unclear, however, how suitable future conditions will be for both peat accumulation and Sphagnum survival.

We applied three bioclimatic envelope models for blanket bogs in Britain to assess how future climate is likely to deviate from current conditions, focussing on four national parks with significant peatland area (Dartmoor, the Flow Country, the Peak District and Snowdonia). We also assessed the likelihood of thresholds being passed at which irreversible desiccation of Sphagnum moss may occur.

Our bioclimatic envelope models use updated climate projections (bias‐corrected UKCP18 projections under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 2.6, 4.5 and 8.5) that are more accurate in the upland regions in which blanket bogs can occur, and use thresholds of blanket bog occurrence which are tailored to Britain. This gives us higher confidence in the results as compared to previous models.

Our results show substantial losses in areas suitable for peatland by 2061–2080 under all RCPs. Under RCP8.5 there is virtually no peatland within its current bioclimatic envelope in our case study areas and only limited areas in Snowdonia under RCP4.5, suggesting these regions will be outside the ideal conditions that lead to peat accumulation. Only western Scotland retains substantial areas suitable for peat.

The frequency of Sphagnum desiccation events is projected to increase by between 44% and 82% which will likely result in decreased success of hummock forming species, particularly at easterly sites where rainfall is lower, though wetter microsites will likely allow more drought‐tolerant species to persist.

Policy implications. Action should be taken to raise water tables at degraded sites to limit the impact of future drought conditions. However, climatic conditions being outside the current bioclimatic envelope may make full restoration challenging. Sphagnum reintroduction programmes may have greater success utilising drought‐tolerant species as hummock forming species are at greater risk of die off during desiccation events.

Variations in pelvic tilt between relaxed‐seated and flexed‐seated positions affect stability assessment in 3D modelling in total hip replacement
Authors: Gilbertson Bryn , Babazadeh Sina , van Bavel Dirk 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBackgroundThe spinopelvic axis is becoming recognized as an essential contributor to impingement and instability leading to dislocation. Computer‐assisted hip surgery uses standing and relaxed‐seated radiographs as a surrogate marker of pelvic tilt in all seated positions. However, the flexed‐seated position is a high‐risk position for dislocation, and the standing and relaxed‐seated radiographs may not reflect this risk. This study aims to determine whether adding a flexed‐seated radiograph affects stability assessment in 3D modelling of THR.MethodsNinety patients with osteoarthritis underwent computer‐assisted THR and received standing, relaxed‐seated, and flexed‐seated radiographs. Sacral slope (SS) was measured and analysed using Pearson correlation. Key measures were degree of tilt between positions, as well as correlations between dynamic hip movements.ResultsOf the examined patients, 96.7% anteriorly tilted their pelvis moving from relaxed‐seated to flexed‐seated, and 50% of patients anteriorly tilted by >10° SS. There was a moderate correlation between standing SS and flexed‐seated SS (r = 0.33, P ≤ 0.1). There was a strong correlation between relaxed‐seated SS and flexed‐seated SS (r = 0.77, P ≤ 0.001); however, there was a wide variance of flexed‐seated SS for any given relaxed‐seated or standing SS.ConclusionThe flexed‐seated position poses a higher risk of anterior impingement in 96.7% of patients compared to the relaxed seated‐position. The flexed‐seated position cannot be predicted by existing radiographs, making it a valuable marker in surgical planning to mitigate the risk of hip instability.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundNormothermic machine perfusion (NMP) represents an alternative to prolong liver preservation and reduce organ discard rates. We performed an updated systematic review and meta‐analysis to compare NMP with static cold storage (SCS) in liver transplantation.MethodsMEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or observational studies. Risk ratios (RR) and mean differences were calculated. p < 0.05 was considered significant. A random‐effects model was applied for all outcomes. PROSPERO ID: CRD42023486184.ResultsWe included 1295 patients from 5 RCTs and 6 observational studies from 2016 to 2023. 592 (45.7%) underwent NMP. A subgroup RCT analysis favored NMP for non‐anastomotic strictures (RR 0.4; 95% CI 0.2, 0.9), postreperfusion syndrome (RR 0.4; 95% CI 0.27, 0.56), and early allograft dysfunction (RR 0.6; 95% CI 0.4, 0.9). NMP favored higher organ utilization rates (RR 1.1; 95% CI 1.02, 1.18). No significant differences between NMP and SCS were observed in graft survival or patient survival at 12 months, primary non‐function, serious adverse events, overall biliary complications, AST, or bilirubin levels peak within the first 7 days, ICU or hospital length of stay.ConclusionOur findings suggest that NMP is associated with lower non‐anastomotic biliary stricture rates, postreperfusion syndrome, early allograft dysfunction, and higher organ utilization in the RCT subgroup analysis, without increasing adverse events.
Xenotransplantation as a business solution to the organ shortage
Authors: Bobier Christopher , Gibson Richard B. , Merlocco Anthony , Rodger Daniel , Hurst Daniel J. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractXenotransplantation has the potential to alter the U.S. transplant system in profound ways. However, this emerging “spare parts” solution spearheaded by biotechnology companies raises concerns about its impact on the organ shortage, healthcare systems, population health, and health inequalities. We contend that xenotransplantation may have limited benefits in improving health, could prove prohibitively expensive for many, and may divert resources away from proven public health measures. Additionally, it carries the risk of perpetuating stigma. Xenotransplantation may thereby exacerbate existing healthcare inequities across racial, ethnic, socio‐economic, and geographic lines. To mitigate these risks, we contend that public health expert input is integral for xenotransplant policy development and outreach and that this underscores the importance of federal government investment in transplant infrastructure.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThis study evaluates the effects of nighttime procurement and transplantation on outcomes following heart transplantation.MethodsThe UNOS registry was queried to analyze adult recipients who underwent isolated orthotopic heart transplantation between January 1, 2010, and September 30, 2022. The cohort was stratified into daytime (4 am–8 pm) and nighttime (8 pm–4 am) transplant groups. The primary outcome was 1‐year survival. Propensity score‐matching was performed. Risk adjustment was performed using multivariable Cox regression. Restricted cubic spline was used to model the association between the time of transplantation and the likelihood of 1‐year mortality. Sub‐analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of nighttime procurement.ResultsAltogether 30 426 recipients were analyzed, where 10 807 recipients (35.5%) underwent nighttime transplantation. The nighttime recipients had reduced 1‐year post‐transplant survival compared to the daytime recipients (90.6% vs. 91.5%, p = 0.019), and this lower survival persisted in the propensity score‐matched comparison. After adjusting for established predictors for post‐transplant mortality, nighttime transplantation continued to have a significantly increased risk of 1‐year mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.12, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.03–1.21, p = 0.005). The spline model demonstrated increased odds of 1‐year mortality between 5 pm and 4 am, with the highest odds at 11 pm (odds ratio [OR] 1.25, 95% CI 1.07–1.47), compared to the reference transplantation time of 7 am. When assessing the impact of procurement timing, nighttime procurement negatively impacted 1‐year post‐transplant survival among the daytime recipients.ConclusionThis study demonstrates the adverse impact of nighttime heart procurement and transplantation on early post‐transplant survival. With emerging organ perfusion and thermal protection systems, additional studies are warranted to assess the safety of extending the heart preservation period to optimize the timing of transplantation.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundSignificant limitations in daily life characterize end‐stage lung diseases (ESLD) due to symptoms such as dyspnea, recurrent infections, side effects of immunosuppressive medication, and frequent need for hospitalizations. In addition to physical symptoms, ESLD is associated with emotional and social sources of distress such as depression, anxiety, fear of dying, financial concerns, and regular need for relocation. A transplant can significantly affect the recipients’ life domains, from physical and emotional well‐being to social relationships and roles.ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the quality of life of adult lung transplant recipients in Saudi Arabia.MethodA cross‐sectional quantitative design was employed using the self‐administered World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL‐BREF) questionnaire, a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, and a medical chart review. The study was conducted in a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from November 2023 to April 2024.ResultsOne hundred fifty‐seven individuals with a mean age of 45 years had completed the questionnaire, and there was no participant refusal (Response rate = 100%). Males accounted for 61.1%, and most participants were married (63.7%). About half (44.6%) had at least one comorbidity outside ESLD. Only 26.7% were working post‐transplant. Overall, the data strongly suggests that as individuals adjust and recover post‐transplant, they tend to feel increasingly positive with time. Most rated their quality of life and health satisfaction as high. The lowest score was for the physical domain.ConclusionThe study's findings showed that the quality was good overall across various domains, with moderate scores, with the lowest score on the physical domain. Improving rehabilitation strategies would help transplanted patients live more fulfilling lives.

AbstractBackgroundFungi are ubiquitous in horses' environment. Their contribution to the pathophysiology of severe asthma (SA) is acknowledged, while controversies remain for mild–moderate asthma (MA).ObjectivesWe hypothesised that fungi are a risk factor for asthma. Our objective was to compare different combinations of analytical methods (cytology, culture) and sampling sites (tracheal wash (TW), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)) in relation to clinical status (control, MA, SA).Study designProspective cross‐sectional study.MethodsThe study population included asymptomatic racing horses in the field and horses referred to the hospital for respiratory investigations. Fungi were detected by cytology and identified by mycology on TW and pooled BALF. Chi‐square tests and multivariable logistic regressions were used for prevalence comparison between groups and association with clinical investigations.ResultsIn total 155 horses (85 MA, 35 SA and 35 controls) were included in the study. The overall proportions of fungal detection in TW ranged from 45.7% to 89.4% among groups. The prevalence of fungal detection in BALF was significantly lower by cytology for SA (5.7%) than MA horses (23.6%) and significantly higher by culture for MA horses (31.8%) than controls (8.6%). Fungal detection by culture in BALF was significantly associated with high tracheal mucus score, high neutrophil proportions in BALF and diagnosis of MA.Main limitationsMycology was only performed in pooled BALF, and environment was not sampled.ConclusionsFungi were significantly more prevalent in the airways of MA horses than SA and/or controls. Fungal detection on TW, either by cytology or culture, was uninformative in a clinical context. Fungal detection by culture, but not cytology in BALF was associated with MA.
