Role of empowering leadership as a mediator between HPWPs and Gen Y employee engagement: evidence from Indian hotels
Authors: Singh Rakhi , Sihag Priyanka 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis study evaluated the bundled impact of high performance work practices (HPWPs) on Generation Y (Gen Y) employee engagement (EE) while considering empowering leadership (EL) as a mediator.Design/methodology/approachThe data for the study are received from 404 Gen Y frontline service employees from three to five star Indian hotels and examined using structural equation modeling.FindingsGen Y employees' perception of HPWPs directly explains their engagement, and EL partially mediates the link between HPWPs and Gen Y EE.Research limitations/implicationsThis study suggests managers to gain from implementing HPWPs and their impact on Gen Y engagement to boost their organizational performance.Practical implicationsThis study suggests managers to gain from implementing HPWPs and their impact on Gen Y EE to boost their employee and hotel's performance.Originality/valueThe present research is one of the few attempts to study how HPWPs can engage the Gen Y cohort in the workplace, especially in developing countries (i.e. India).
Three-way interaction moderation model of legal origin in strengthening the role of firm characteristics in choice of sukuk type
Authors: Utami Datien Eriska 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to learn how a three-way interaction moderation model is used to analyse the role of country-specific characteristics, in the form of the implementation of Sharia law and legal origin in a particular country, in the choice of sukuk type.

Design/methodology/approach
The firm profitability and firm leverages of sukuk issuer are used as the firm characteristics that can influence the choice of sukuk type between Mudharaba sukuk, Ijara sukuk and Murabaha sukuk. The research sample of 545 global sukuk issuances, obtained from the IIFS database, includes the issuance of Mudharaba sukuk, Ijara sukuk and Murabaha sukuk from ten sukuk issuer countries all over the world.

Findings
The research results show that the probability of choosing Mudharaba and Ijara sukuk is found in issuers sukuk with a high firm leverage, while the probability of choosing Murabaha sukuk is found in issuers sukuk with a high firm profitability. A three-way interaction moderation model is used in this research to explain that sukuk issuers in countries that implement Sharia law and adopt a legal origin common law system will have a higher choice of Mudharabah and Ijarah sukuk types if the firm’s leverage is high. If the firms’ profitability is high, then the sukuk issuer prefers Murabaha sukuk.

Research limitations/implications
The use of firm’s characteristic variables is based solely on trade-off theory and pecking order theory. Also, limitations on the implementation of Sharia law in countries that do not provide opportunities for countries that apply a mixed law system.

Practical implications
The role of Sharia law and common law legal origin is proven, through a three-way interaction model, to strengthen the interaction of the firm leverage and choice of Mudharaba sukuk.

Social implications
Legal certainty for Islamic financial institutions is created in the context of ease of investing in sukuk. Flexibility in the structure is also one of the factors that encourage the development of market acceptance of sukuk. The right structure of the sukuk can be used for specific target markets.

Originality/value
There has been no study carried out on a three-way interaction moderation model used to analyse the role of country-specific characteristics. The role of Sharia law and common law legal origin is proven, through a three-way interaction model, to strengthen the interaction of the firm leverage and choice of Mudharaba sukuk.

Authors: Jian Jie , Yang Xingyu , Niu Shu , Su Jiafu 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThe paper proposes a two-level closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) dynamic competitive model based on different competitive cooperation situations, and explores the impact of competitive cooperation methods on the pricing strategies, recycling and remanufacturing strategies and competitive model selection strategies of supply chain firms.Design/methodology/approachThis paper establishes a CLSC game consisting of a manufacturer and two retailers. Firstly, five CLSC models are established in both horizontal and vertical dimensions, each of which competes with one another. Secondly, the recycling and remanufacturing pricing strategies are analyzed under different competition or cooperation models. Finally, the results are verified through numerical analysis.FindingsThe overall profitability of the CLSC is highest when the manufacturer–retailer partnership alliance is in place. The relationship between retailers and manufacturers is also found to be the best way to achieve overall optimization of the CLSC.Originality/valueThe paper investigates the relationship between the competitive partnership and the total profit of the CLSC, taking into account how to optimize the overall benefit, and focusing on how to optimize the individual interests of each participating enterprise. The results can provide basis and guidance for managers' pricing decision and competition cooperation.

Authors: Östergård Kevin , Kuha Suvi , Kanste Outi 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify and synthesise the best evidence on health-care leaders’ and professionals’ experiences and perceptions of compassionate leadership.

Design/methodology/approach
A mixed-methods systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for mixed-methods systematic reviews using a convergent integrated approach. A systematic search was done in January 2023 in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Medic and MedNar databases. The results were reported based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. The data was analysed using thematic analysis.

Findings
Ten studies were included in the review (five qualitative and five quantitative). The thematic analysis identified seven analytical themes as follows: treating professionals as individuals with an empathetic and understanding approach; building a culture for open and safe communication; being there for professionals; giving all-encompassing support; showing the way as a leader and as a strong professional; building circumstances for efficient work and better well-being; and growing into a compassionate leader.

Practical implications
Compassionate leadership can possibly address human resource-related challenges, such as health-care professionals’ burnout, turnover and the lack of patient safety. It should be taken into consideration by health-care leaders, their education and health-care organisations when developing their effectiveness.

Originality/value
This review synthesised the knowledge of compassionate leadership in health care and its benefits by providing seven core elements of health-care leaders’ and professionals’ experiences and perceptions of compassionate leadership.
From strain to synergy: investigating the positive
aspects of work–family interface among Indian doctors
Authors: Khateeb Fatima Riyaz 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This research aims to investigate the symbiotic relationship between work and
family life among doctors in India, with a focus on work–family
enrichment (WFE) as a positive interplay. The study seeks to examine the
impact of two aspects of WFE, namely, work-to-family enrichment (WTFE) and
family-to-work enrichment (FTWE) on job satisfaction (JS) and life
satisfaction (LS), while exploring the mediating role of self-efficacy
(SE).

Design/methodology/approach
The research employs a comprehensive survey to gather data from Indian
doctors. The survey includes measures of WTFE, FTWE, JS, LS and SE.
Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to examine the proposed
connections among the research constructs, using IBM AMOS v.23.

Findings
The findings reveal that WTFE significantly impacts both JS and LS. However,
FTWE does not show a direct influence on JS, though it does positively
impact LS. SE plays a noteworthy role, having a strong direct influence on
both job and life satisfaction. In terms of indirect influence, WTFE impacts
job and life satisfaction through the mechanism of SE. Nevertheless, no
significant indirect effect was found between FTWE and both types of
satisfaction through SE.

Originality/value
This research presents several original contributions to the study of
work–life balance among healthcare professionals. Firstly, its unique
geographic focus on North India distinguishes it from existing literature,
offering fresh insights into the experiences of doctors in this region.
Moreover, the study's multifaceted examination of WFE, SE, JS, and LS
introduces a comprehensive perspective seldom seen in current research.
The impact of hurricanes on a property portfolio: an empirical study based on loss data in Portugal
Authors: Hauser Andrea , Rosa Carlos , Esteves Rui , Bugalho Lourdes , Moura Alexandra , Oliveira Carlos 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThe simulated scenarios can be used to compute risk premiums per risk class in the portfolio. These can then be used to adjust the policy premiums by accounting for storm risk.Design/methodology/approachA complete model to analyse and characterise future losses of the property portfolio of an insurance company due to hurricanes is proposed. The model is calibrated by using the loss data of the Fidelidade insurance company property portfolio resulting from Hurricane Leslie, which hit the centre of continental Portugal in October, 2018.FindingsSeveral scenarios are simulated and risk maps are constructed. The risk map of the company depends on its portfolio, especially its exposure, and provides a Hurricane risk management tool for the insurance company.Originality/valueA statistical model is considered, in which weather data is not required. The authors reconstruct the behaviour of storms through the registered claims and respective losses.
Remote control concept for automated trains as a fallback system: needs and preferences of future operators
Authors: Cogan Baris , Milius Birgit 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
Increasing demand on rail transport speeds up the introduction of new technical systems to optimize the rail traffic and increase competitiveness. Remote control of trains is seen as a potential layer of resilience in railway operations. It allows for operating and controlling automated trains and communicating and coordinating with other stakeholders of the railway system. This paper aims to present the first results of a multi-phased simulator study on the development and optimization of remote train driving concepts from the operators’ point of view.

Design/methodology/approach
The presented concept was developed by benchmarking good practices. Two phases of iterative user tests were conducted to evaluate the user experience and preferences of the developed human-machine-interface concept. Basic training requirements were identified and evaluated.

Findings
Results indicate positive feedback on the overall system as a fallback solution. HMI elicited positive emotions regarding pleasure and dominance, but low arousal levels. Train drivers had more conservative views on the system compared to signalers and students. The training activities achieved increased awareness and understanding of the system for future operators. Inclusion of potential users in the development of future systems has the potential to improve user acceptance. The iterative user experiments were useful in obtaining some of the needs and preferences of different user groups.

Originality/value
Multi-phase user tests were conducted to identify and to evaluate the requirements and preferences of remote operators using a simplified HMI. Training analysis provides important aspects to consider for the training of future users.
A range‐expanding butterfly is susceptible to cold and long winters but shows no signs of local adaptation to winter conditions
Authors: Ittonen Mats , Roberts Kevin T. , Lehmann Philipp , Gotthard Karl 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Numerous species shift or expand their ranges poleward in response to climate change. Even when expanding species follow their climatic niches, expanding range margin populations are likely to face unfamiliar environmental conditions and thus natural selection for local adaptation.

The wall brown butterfly (Lasiommata megera) has expanded northward in Sweden in the years 2000–2020, most likely as a result of climate change, and has previously been shown to have evolved local adaptations to northern daylength conditions. This evolution has occurred despite hypothesised genetic constraints to adaptation at range margins.

We studied local adaptation to winter conditions in four of the previously‐studied L. megera populations, using a common garden laboratory experiment with a warm and short, an intermediate, and a cold and long winter treatment. We compared the winter and post‐winter survival of caterpillars from two southern core range and two northern range margin populations in Sweden.

During the experiment, we measured metabolic rates of a subset of diapausing caterpillars to test whether populations differ in metabolic suppression during diapause. Further, we measured supercooling points, which reflect lower lethal temperature in L. megera, of the same subset of caterpillars. We also compared supercooling points between L. megera and three closely related species with more northern distributions.

Few individuals survived the coldest treatment all the way to successful adult emergence, so L. megera seems susceptible to cold winters. Individuals of northern descent did not survive cold winters any better than individuals from southern populations. Similarly, there were no signs of local adaptation in metabolic rates or supercooling points. The comparison among species did not reveal any clear relationship between geographical distribution and supercooling point.

Although northern winters probably exert strong selection on L. megera, we provide comprehensive evidence for the lack of local adaptation to winter conditions. This contrasts with the previous finding of quickly evolved local adaptation in diapause timing, highlighting the need to consider how traits associated with different seasons differ in how they may evolve and facilitate climate change‐induced range expansions.

Predator home range size mediates indirect interactions between prey species in an arctic vertebrate community

Published: October 2023

Abstract

Indirect interactions are widespread among prey species that share a common predator, but the underlying mechanisms driving these interactions are often unclear, and our ability to predict their outcome is limited.

Changes in behavioural traits that impact predator space use could be a key proximal mechanism mediating indirect interactions, but there is little empirical evidence of the causes and consequences of such behavioural‐numerical response in multispecies systems.

Here, we investigate the complex ecological relationships between seven prey species sharing a common predator. We used a path analysis approach on a comprehensive 9‐year data set simultaneously tracking predator space use, prey densities and prey mortality rate on key species of a simplified Arctic food web.

We show that high availability of a clumped and spatially predictable prey (goose eggs) leads to a twofold reduction in predator (arctic fox) home range size, which increases local predator density and strongly decreases nest survival of an incidental prey (American golden plover). On the contrary, a scattered cyclic prey with potentially lower spatial predictability (lemming) had a weaker effect on fox space use and an overall positive impact on the survival of incidental prey.

These contrasting effects underline the importance of studying behavioural responses of predators in multiprey systems and to explicitly integrate behavioural‐numerical responses in multispecies predator–prey models.

AbstractGlyphosate (GS) inhibits the 5‐enolpyruvyl‐shikimate‐3‐phosphate (EPSP) synthase that is required for aromatic amino acid, folate and quinone biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. The inhibition of the EPSP synthase by GS depletes the cell of these metabolites, resulting in cell death. Here, we show that like the laboratory B. subtilis strains also environmental and undomesticated isolates adapt to GS by reducing herbicide uptake. Although B. subtilis possesses a GS‐insensitive EPSP synthase, the enzyme is strongly inhibited by GS in the native environment. Moreover, the B. subtilis EPSP synthase mutant was only viable in rich medium containing menaquinone, indicating that the bacteria require a catalytically efficient EPSP synthase under nutrient‐poor conditions. The dependency of B. subtilis on the EPSP synthase probably limits its evolvability. In contrast, E. coli rapidly acquires GS resistance by target modification. However, the evolution of a GS‐resistant EPSP synthase under non‐selective growth conditions indicates that GS resistance causes fitness costs. Therefore, in both model organisms, the proper function of the EPSP synthase is critical for the cellular viability. This study also revealed that the uptake systems for folate precursors, phenylalanine and tyrosine need to be identified and characterized in B. subtilis.
Can network analysis identify market problems in quasi‐markets? A proof‐of‐concept study on the National Disability Insurance Scheme

Published: October 2023

AbstractThe use of markets has a long history in the delivery of social services. Market‐based arrangements are used worldwide with the goal of increasing choice, efficiency, and cost effectiveness in public service delivery. However, government‐run markets or ‘quasi‐markets’ do not behave as regular markets and therefore require interventions and stewardship in order to function efficiently and meet the social goals they aim to achieve. We assess the usefulness of functional network analysis (FNA) (a form of social network analysis) for identifying market gaps and market failure in quasi‐markets to assist governments in their stewardship roles. We test the utility of this approach within an Australian quasi‐market for disability services, where data were collected via surveys with disability providers in two case study sites. In this proof‐of‐concept study, data were analysed using FNA techniques. We find that FNA techniques can generate insights to identify quasi‐market problems. We find that FNA can be augmented with organisational characteristics such as size, profit margin, and ‘for profit’ status, enabling evaluation of the potential risks occurring within a particular quasi‐market structure.Points for practitioners
Functional network analysis provides a method for identifying thin markets in quasi‐market systems such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Authorities have not made data available regarding NDIS thin markets, so this research conducts a survey to replace data; however, the survey is incomplete and so must only be used as a proof of concept for the functional network analysis method.
Functional network analysis provides promise for identifying thin markets in the NDIS.
Developing soft (employability) skills and work experience opportunities to prepare students with intellectual disability for open employment
Authors: Young Kirsty , Rooney Donna 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis research identifies the soft (employability) skills that key stakeholders view as essential for young people with intellectual disability (ID) to gain and maintain open employment. The study subsequently examined the work experience opportunities for young people with ID to develop these soft skills during their school years. Qualitative data from 89 participants (questionnaires and interviews) and a review of the current literature informed the development of a set of soft skills for open employment and a proposed model for work exposure programmes from the commencement to the conclusion of high school.
The diffusion of diagnosis and its implications for the epistemology and ontology of disease
Authors: Barth Yishai , Weinberg Darin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractRather than confining the categories health and sickness to a biomedical conception of the biological organism, there is growing recognition of epistemological and ontological multiplicity in the realm of diagnosis and, indeed, in the very realm of disease itself. In short, the empirical manifestations of health and illness as well as the processes thought to cause them are now understood to assume a much wider variety of both biological and other forms. This essay considers the underlying epistemological and ontological opportunities and challenges of taking what we are calling this diffusion of diagnosis seriously. By diffusion we mean the movement from a concentrated understanding of diagnostic authority as confined to scientific biomedicine to a less concentrated appreciation of the diverse approaches to diagnosis throughout the world. We consider the extent to which, and the manner in which, we as sociologists of diagnosis might not only critique these various processes but perhaps also take them seriously in an ethnographic sense as locally produced, evaluated and legitimated forms of health care.
Rethinking ritual: how rituals made our world and how they could save it★
Authors: Whitehouse Harvey 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this Henry Myers Lecture, I summarize several decades of collaborative research on the role of ritual in group bonding and co‐operation, ranging from psychology experiments in university laboratories to field research among indigenous groups, and from surveys with armed revolutionaries to extended interviews with religious adherents. This body of work is helping to clarify the mechanisms by which social cohesion and prosocial behaviour are generated in a variety of groups, such as mothers experiencing traumatic births, football fans suffering defeat at crucial matches in Brazil and Australia, and Muslim fundamentalists in Indonesia contemplating insults to Islam in faraway conflicts. These findings also shed light on changes in ritual life from the palaeolithic to the first farmers and from archaic states to the first moralizing religions. In keeping with the forward‐looking theme of the 2022 RAI conference, I consider the implications of these findings for various practical problems facing humanity today, such as how to reduce crime and to prevent violent extremism and how to foster more inclusive forms of leadership and motivate action on environmental issues.
