Bibliometric analysis on positive work–family interface
Authors: Mude Mounika , Wesley J. Reeves 
Published: February 2024

PurposeResearch on work–family interface (WFI) is almost two decades old. It is widely believed that the archetype of work and family after COVID has changed. Post-COVID emphases and outcomes would be different. Accordingly, a bibliometric analysis of the research would help to understand the state of the research and positive WFI patterns that guide further investigations. The present study used measures such as journals, citations, etc. to determine the bibliometric patterns from 2003 to August 2023 using VOSviewer software.Design/methodology/approachData were obtained from Scopus. 1,601 works were found in the first search. This figure was narrowed down to 525 based on a few conditions. The most commonly referenced journals, sources, authors, etc. were used for the analysis.FindingsResearch on positive WFI has increased in recent years. The total number of articles in positive WFI was 525 between 2003 and August 2023. Greenhaus, Powell and Carlson were the most cited authors in this field. Carlson had produced the highest number of documents in WFI. Most WFI authors focused on antecedents, treating positive WFI as the outcome variable.Research limitations/implicationsThis is the first bibliometric analysis conducted on a positive WFI, although there have been a few on work–family conflict. However, other sources such as the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) and Web of Science may throw different results on journals, citations, etc. Hence, future researchers might emphasize if the same results originate from data in other databases. Other analytical tools may be used in the place of VOSviewer.Originality/valueThis is the first article on bibliometric analysis of positive WFI. This paper’s primary objective is to understand the patterns of literature available on positive WFI and its significance comprehensively.

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has showcased the lack of resilience found in the global value chains (GVCs) of multinational enterprises (MNEs). Existing evidence shows that MNEs have only recently and slowly started recovering and attempting to rebuild the resilience of their GVCs. This paper analyzes the challenges/inhibitors faced by MNEs in building their resilience through their GVCs.Design/methodology/approachA four-stage hybrid model was used to identify the interrelationship among the identified inhibitors and to distinguish the most critical ones by ranking them. In the first stage, we employed a modified total interpretive structural modeling (m-TISM) approach to determine the inter-relationship among the inhibitors. Additionally, we identified the inhibitors' driving power and dependency by performing a matrix multiplication applied to classification (MICMAC) analysis. In the second stage, we employed the Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (PF-AHP) method to determine the weight of the criteria. The next stage followed, in which we used the Pythagorean fuzzy combined compromise solution (PF-CoCoSo) method to rank the inhibitors. Finally, we performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the robustness of the framework we had built based on the criteria and inhibitors.FindingsWe find business sustainability to have the highest importance and managerial governance as the most critical inhibitor hindering the path to resilience. Based on these insights, we derive four research propositions aimed at strengthening the resilience of such GVCs, followed by their implications for theory and practice.Originality/valueOur findings contribute to the extant literature by uncovering key inhibitors that act as barriers to MNEs. We link out our findings with a number of propositions that we derive, which may be considered for implementation by MNEs and could help them endow their GVCs with resilience.
Work engagement and the impact of a social identity crafting approach to leadership: a case from Africa’s air transport industry
Authors: Theoharakis Vasilis , Wapshott Robert , Cham Lamin 
Published: February 2024

PurposeManagers of public organizations in liberalized sectors face the dual imperative of retaining skilled employees who might be poached by commercial competitors and improving service performance levels without a free hand to invest resources. While employee work engagement (EWE) has been previously suggested as a solution to such management challenges, limitations in its ability to retain employees have been identified. We therefore examine how a social identity crafting (SIC) approach to public leadership that confers a sense of group identity among team members can enhance and extend beyond EWE in addressing this dual imperative.Design/methodology/approachWe report findings from a survey of employees (n = 199) at “ATCO,” a state-owned national airline that is facing challenges from commercial rivals within a new, competitive environment.FindingsWe confirm previously identified limitations of EWE and, further, demonstrate that a social identity approach to leadership offers a promising avenue for public managers, not only by enhancing employee engagement but, more importantly, by enhancing retention and service performance.Originality/valueWe contribute to studies of leadership, particularly for managers operating in the public sector and resource-constrained environments, demonstrating how SIC, which does not require costly investment to attain, can deliver improved service performance and reduced employee turnover intention, operating beyond EWE, which reaches a plateau in respect of the latter.
Corporate social responsibility and credit rating: evidence from French companies
Authors: Ben Saad Sourour , Laouiti Mhamed , Ajina Aymen 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
This study aims to provide further insights into the connection between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and companies’ credit ratings, while also exploring the role of corporate governance as a moderating factor. The hypotheses for this relationship are rooted in both legitimacy and stakeholder theories.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a sample of French non-financial listed firms from 2007 to 2020, this paper uses the ordered probit model introduced by Greene (2000). The issue of endogeneity has also been addressed.

Findings
The study reveals that CSR practices positively impact companies’ credit ratings by enhancing solvency and financial performance. Specifically, firms that prioritize CSR, particularly in the social and environmental dimensions (such as community relations, diversity, employee relations, environmental performance and product characteristics), tend to have higher credit ratings and a reduced risk of default. This suggests that credit rating agencies likely incorporate CSR performance when assigning credit ratings. Furthermore, the quality of corporate governance acts as a moderator, strengthening the relationship between CSR and credit ratings. The findings remain robust even after accounting for key firm attributes and addressing potential endogeneity between CSR and credit ratings.

Practical implications
This research provides valuable guidance for policymakers, corporate managers, investors and other stakeholders, as it offers insights into the influence of CSR activities on risk premiums and financing costs. For financial institutions, expanding credit decisions to encompass non-financial factors such as CSR can result in more accurate predictions of firm credit quality compared to relying solely on financial indicators.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study stands out as the first to systematically examine the relationship between CSR and credit ratings within the French context. Moreover, it distinguishes itself by investigating the moderating influence of corporate governance on this relationship, setting it apart from prior research.
Contingency, crises & disasters: Broadening the research agenda
Authors: Hollis Simon 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe idea of contingency emphasizes uncertainty, the consequences of choice as well as our dependence on persons and events outside our control and ability to comprehend. The concept is thus integral to how we define and understand disasters and crises. Yet the way in which contingency informs research agendas is often restricted to a dialectic reaction to uncertainty, the unknown, and the uncontrollable. There is a tendency to explain or prescribe solutions based on an underlying impetus that champions certainty over chaos, knowledge over ignorance, and control over disorder. This type of thinking has been influential in shaping normative and epistemological research trajectories in crises and disaster disciplines, but it has also restricted the contours of what counts as acceptable research on disasters and crises. In this article, I demonstrate how alternative modes of inquiry can transcend this dialectic by producing knowledge in reception to – rather than in contention from—contingency. In an effort to find a middle road between overemphasizing contingency or necessity, critical realism is used to illustrate how uncertainty, the unknown and the uncontrollable can be recast as an accepted part of a stratified reality leading towards alternative ways of knowing and researching disasters and crises.

AbstractBackgroundTracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer (TBL) is one of the main cancer health problems worldwide, but data on the burden and trends of early‐onset tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer (EO‐TBL) are sparse. The aim of the present study was to provide the latest and the most comprehensive burden estimates of the EO‐TBL cancer from 1990 to 2019.MethodsOverall, we used data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study in EO‐TBL cancer from 1990 to 2019. Evaluation metrics included incidence, mortality, and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs). The joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the temporal trends. Decomposition analysis was employed to analyze the driving factors for EO‐TBL cancer burden alterations. Bayesian age‐period‐cohort (BAPC) analysis was used to estimate trends in the next 20 years.ResultsThe global age‐standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age‐standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age‐standardized DALYs rate (ASDR) for EO‐TBL cancer decreased significantly from 3.95 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 3.70–4.24), 3.41 (95% UI: 3.19–3.67), 158.68 (95% UI: 148.04–170.92) in 1990 to 2.82 (95% UI: 2.54–3.09), 2.28 (95% UI: 2.07–2.49), 106.47 (95% UI: 96.83–116.51) in 2019 with average annual percent change (AAPC) of −1.14% (95% confidence interval [CI]: −1.32 to −0.95), −1.37% (95% CI: −1.55 to −1.18), and − 1.35% (95% CI: −1.54 to −1.15) separately. The high and high‐middle sociodemographic index (SDI) region had a higher burden of EO‐TBL cancer but demonstrated a downward trend. The most prominent and significant upward trends were Southeast and South Asia, Africa, and women in the low SDI and low‐middle SDI quintiles. At the regional and national level, there were significant positive correlations between ASDR, ASIR, ASMR, and SDI. Decomposition analysis showed that population growth and aging have driven the increase in the number of incidence, mortality, and DALYs in the global population, especially among the middle SDI quintile and the East Asia region. The BAPC results showed that ASDR, ASIR, and ASMR in women would increase but the male population remained relatively flat over the next 20 years.ConclusionsAlthough global efforts have been the most successful and effective in reducing the burden of EO‐TBL cancer over the past three decades, there was strong regional and gender heterogeneity. EO‐TBL cancer need more medical attention in the lower SDI quintiles and in the female population.

Published: February 2024

AbstractThe intracranial cavity contains vital organs such as the brain, cerebellum and meninges. The veterinary field employment in this region is limited. For this reason, obtaining information about the intracranial cavity, the operation to be performed on this region and information about the world will benefit our unit. It aimed to examine the width between gender differences and expectations by calculating the intracranial volume stereological and 3D models using computed tomography sections. In the study, 7 male and 6 female adult Hamdani sheep were used. The intracranial cavity was modelled in 3D using computed tomography sections. Intracranial volume was estimated using CT slices according to the Cavalieri principle. Morphometric measurements were obtained from the intracranial cavity. In the study, intracranial volume was calculated as 120.50±7.59 cm3 in females and 137.29±9.79 cm3 in males in measurements made using Computed Tomography. Intracranial volume calculation made using the Cavalieri's principle was calculated as 125.33±5.20cm3 in females and 136.89±9.13 cm3in males. In the configured CT models, a target difference was detected between the male and female volume values calculated on it (p < 0.05). There was a difference between males and females in stereologically viable intracranial volume (p < 0.05). A high level of density was observed between the results of both methods. In the mean of the data, there was no difference between the objectives (p > 0.05). Morphometric measurements determined that the maximum cranial cavity width parameter was between females and males (p < 0.005). In index1 and index2 calculated with the obtained partitions, a circulating difference between genders was observed (p < 0.05). In the resulting state, the 3‐dimensional intracranial cavity models and the intracranial volume fraction estimated by the Cavalieri principle are conserved. There are high limits between the methods. Feeding future intracranial volume and clinical care.

AbstractBackgroundObservational studies and meta‐analyses have indicated associations between blood lipid profiles and asthma. However, the causal association is unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the causal relationship between blood lipid profiles and asthma using bidirectional Mendelian randomization analysis.Methods and materialsOur analyses were performed using individual data from the Taiwan Biobank and summary statistics from the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN). The causal estimates between all genetic variants, exposures of interest and asthma were calculated using an inverse‐variance weighted method based on Taiwan Biobank data from 24,853 participants (mean age, 48.8 years; 49.8% women). Sensitivity analyses, including the weighted median, MR Egger regression, MR‐PRESSO, mode‐based estimate, contamination mixture methods, and leave‐one‐out analysis, were applied to validate the results and detect pleiotropy.ResultsIn the inverse‐variance weighted (IVW) analyses, we found evidence of a significant causal effect of an increased level of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol on asthma risk (βIVW = 1.338, p = 0.001). A genetically decreased level of high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol was also associated with asthma risk (βIVW = −0.338, p = 0.01). We also found that an increased level of total cholesterol was associated with an increased risk of asthma (βIVW = 1.343, p = 0.001). Several sensitivity analyses generated consistent findings. We did not find evidence to support the causality between asthma and blood lipid profiles in either direction.ConclusionOur results supported the causal relationship between higher levels of LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol and lower levels of HDL cholesterol with an increased risk of asthma.

SummaryBackgroundAlthough alcohol abstinence may be an effective intervention for alcohol‐associated cirrhosis, its association with prognosis has not been systematically assessed or quantified.AimsTo determine the prevalence of alcohol abstinence, factors associated with alcohol abstinence and the impact of abstinence on morbidity and overall survival in people with alcohol‐associated cirrhosis.MethodsWe searched Medline and Embase from inception to 15 April 2023 for prospective and retrospective cohort studies describing alcohol abstinence in people with known alcohol‐associated cirrhosis. Meta‐analysis of proportions for pooled estimates was performed. The method of inverse variance, employing a random‐effects model, was used to pool the hazard ratio (HR) comparing outcomes of abstinent against non‐abstinent individuals with alcohol‐associated cirrhosis.ResultsWe included 19 studies involving 18,833 people with alcohol‐associated cirrhosis. The prevalence of alcohol abstinence was 53.8% (CI: 44.6%–62.7%). Over a mean follow‐up duration of 48.6 months, individuals who continued to consume alcohol had significantly lower overall survival compared to those who were abstinent (HR: 0.611, 95% CI: 0.506–0.738). These findings remained consistent in sensitivity/subgroup analysis for the presence of decompensation, study design and studies that assessed abstinence throughout follow‐up. Alcohol abstinence was associated with a significantly lower risk of hepatic decompensation (HR: 0.612, 95% CI: 0.473–0.792).ConclusionsAlcohol abstinence is associated with substantial improvement in overall survival in alcohol‐associated cirrhosis. However, only half of the individuals with known alcohol‐associated cirrhosis are abstinent.

AimsAmikacin requires therapeutic drug monitoring for optimum efficacy; however, the optimal model‐informed precision dosing strategy for the area under the concentration–time curve (AUC) of amikacin is uncertain. This simulation study aimed to determine the efficient blood sampling points using the Bayesian forecasting approach for early achievement of the target AUC range for amikacin in critically ill patients.MethodsWe generated a virtual population of 3000 individuals using 2 validated population pharmacokinetic models identified using a systematic literature search. AUC for each blood sampling point was evaluated using the probability of achieving a ratio of estimated/reference AUC at steady state in the 0.8–1.2 range.ResultsOn day 1, the 1‐point samplings for population pharmacokinetic models showed a priori probabilities of 26.3 and 45.6%, which increased to 47.3 and 94.4% at 23 and 15 h, respectively. Using 2‐point sampling at the peak (3 and 4 h) and trough (24 h) on day 1, these probabilities further increased to 72.3 and 99.5%, respectively. These probabilities were comparable on days 2 and 3, regardless of 3 and 6 sampling points or estimated glomerular filtration rate. These results indicated the higher predictive accuracy of 2‐point sampling than 1‐point sampling on day 1 for amikacin AUC estimation. Moreover, 2‐point sampling was a more reasonable approach than rich sampling.ConclusionsThis study contributes to the development of an efficient model‐informed precision dosing strategy for early targeting of amikacin AUC in critically ill patients.

SummaryCorticosteroids remain the first‐line treatment of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Bisphosphonates are used for the treatment of osteoporosis, but their usage among patients with ITP has not been systemically described. We investigated the risk of fractures and the use of bisphosphonates in adult patients with primary (pITP) and secondary ITP (sITP) compared with matched comparators in a nationwide registry‐based cohort study. We identified 4030 patients with pITP (median age 60 years [IQR, 40–74]), 550 with sITP (median age 59 years [IQR, 43–74]) and 182 939 age–sex‐matched general population comparators. All individuals were followed for incident fractures. Bisphosphonate use was estimated for calendar‐years and in temporal relation to the ITP diagnosis. Adjusted cause‐specific hazard ratio (csHR) for any fracture was 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23; 1.54) for pITP and 1.54 (1.17; 2.03) for sITP. The first‐year csHR was 1.82 (1.39; 2.40) for pITP and 2.78 (1.58; 4.91) for sITP. Bisphosphonate use over calendar‐years and in the early years following ITP diagnosis was higher among patients with ITP diagnosis compared with the general population. In conclusion, the risk of fractures and the use of bisphosphonates are higher in patients with ITP compared with the general population.
