The effect of stretch goals and moral justification on counterproductive work behavior
Authors: Ferdiansah Muhammad Irdam , Chong Vincent K. , Wang Isabel Z. , Woodliff David R. 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the mediating role of moral justification in the relationship between stretch goals and counterproductive work behavior (CWB).

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 149 US-based middle-level managers drawn from an online survey relying on Qualtrics was used for this study.

Findings
The results show that the level of stretch goals is positively related to CWB. Furthermore, the results show that moral justification partially mediates this relationship. The results suggest that when a goal is set at low or medium levels, stretch goals are not related to CWB.

Research limitations/implications
The result has managerial implications suggesting that the senior management should avoid setting the level of stretch goals that employees would perceive as high because a high level of stretch goals could suggest extremely challenging but unattainable goals, resulting in employees engaging in CWB.

Originality/value
The “bright side” of stretch goals can enhance organizational performance however the “dark side” of stretch goals can backfire and undermine organizational performance. This paper examines the “dark side” of stretch goals that show that when employees perceive goals set are extremely challenging but unattainable, such perception of high-performance goals would induce employees’ desire to engage in CWB, especially when they could morally justify (rationalize) such behavior.
Unveiling locavorism in restaurants: understanding consumer’s intention and the dual moderating roles of subjective norms and perceived behavioral control
Authors: Essam Esraa , Abdien Mohamed Kamal , Barakat Mona Omar , Elsaqqa Mostafa Abdelaziz 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study is based on the extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) and attempts to shed light on what influences restaurant consumers’ intentions to eat locally sourced meals.Design/methodology/approachData from 698 respondents were gathered through a web-based survey employing a quantitative methodology.FindingsThe findings indicated that several motivating factors, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control positively influence respondents’ attitudes toward dining at restaurants serving meals that are obtained locally. Also, attitudes significantly predicted intentions and mediated the relationship between the motivating factors and intention to consume local meals. Furthermore, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control moderated the relationship between attitude and intention.Research limitations/implicationsThe study offers implications for both theory and practice. In the context of Egypt in particular, this study advocates for sustainable food production and consumption in restaurants. The study focused only on consumers; it suggests that subsequent research should examine the restaurant operators’ perspective.Practical implicationsTo draw in and please more locavores, restaurant management can use buzzwords like “safe food,” “fresh food” and “environmental labels.” They should also provide their consumers with the backstory of menu items, including where food comes from, how it’s made and how it gets transported.Originality/valueThis study tests an adapted model built on TPB and advocates for sustainable production and consumption in line with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
“I am a clinician, but I’m also a service user…” Navigating doctoral training as a trainee clinical psychologist (TCP) with lived mental health experience (LMHE)
Authors: Bamber Grace , Caygill Lisa , Craven-Staines Sarah 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Lived mental health experience (LMHE) is a term describing the direct impact of a mental health problem or being a mental health carer. This study aims to qualitatively explore how UK-based trainee clinical psychologists with LMHE navigate doctoral training.

Design/methodology/approach
Trainee clinical psychologists (TCPs; N = 12) who self-reported LMHE completed a semi-structured interview which was analysed using constructivist grounded theory (CGT).

Findings
The end model had six main categories: the pressured system; narratives about LMHE within the profession; developing trainee identity and sense of self; disclosing LMHE within the professional context; building safe, balanced and reciprocal relationships with other professionals; drawing upon LMHE within clinical practice. The end model is visually depicted as an hourglass to represent receiving and internalising external information which influences identity development and bidirectionally filters outwards to shape interactions and relationships.

Social implications
Findings have implications for TCPs, course centres and using trusts.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first CGT study to qualitatively explore how TCPs with LMHE navigate the holistic trajectory of doctoral clinical psychology training.
B2B sustainable ecosystems as support the “three-legged stool” in emerging countries: SMEs’ stakeholder relations in Ardakan (Iran)
Authors: Nevi Giulia , Basile Gianpaolo , Kaufmann Hans Rüdiger , Fotouhi Ardakani Mohammad 
Published: January 2025

PurposeIn the context of triple-bottom-line dynamics, societal components grapple with multifaceted challenges, necessitating changing behaviours within business-to-business (B2B) processes. This study investigates how collaborative relations in B2B ecosystems can influence social, environmental and economic sustainability dynamics, exploring whether the former two positively impact economic results.Design/methodology/approachValidating a conceptual framework via partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modelling, a quantitative study on 262 Iranian SME stakeholders was conducted.FindingsThe research underscores the paramount role of B2B relations, emphasizing the shift towards interconnected relations between society, institutions, end-users and businesses. The findings suggest that B2B collaborative efforts within a broader ecosystem address social and environmental needs, thereby contributing to transforming the ecosystem’s business models. Innovatively, the research elicited that environmental and social effects have a positive mediating effect on economic results.Originality/valueBy proposing a business-social-institutional model (B2SI) grounded in relational and dynamic capabilities, this study contributes to advancing both scientific understanding and business practices, pointing to the important role of social responsibility within B2B ecosystems.
Management control system stability and change in a global corporation: the role of cultural capital
Authors: Akroyd Chris , Matsugi Satoko , Shima Yoshinobu 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to understand the role that the “cultural capital” of managers has on the stability and change of management control systems (MCS) in the subsidiary of a global corporation.

Design/methodology/approach
A seven-year longitudinal case study was conducted at the US subsidiary of a Japanese-based global corporation. The theoretical concepts of cultural capital and MCS package typology are used to examine how management controls were understood by locally hired employees and expatriate Japanese managers at the case study site.

Findings
The findings show that the managers at the Japanese headquarters transferred an MCS package that had a high level of interdependence between cultural control and results control to their US subsidiary in the 1960s. This MCS package did not influence the behavior of locally hired employees in ways that the Japanese expatriate managers expected; instead, it led to the cultural exclusion of local employees. Even when the Japanese managers were faced with a changing environment, the MCS package did not change. When Japanese managers realized they could not achieve their goals in the USA without local managers, they slowly started to hire mid-career local managers. As the number of local managers increased, the expatriate Japanese managers started to become more aware of the impact of their cultural capital. This has resulted in changes in the MCS package for local managers in the US subsidiary.

Originality/value
This study revealed that even when the strategy of a company and the environment in which it operates changes, an MCS package may not change quickly. The authors show that the cultural capital of managers plays a role in MCS stability and change.

Authors: Usman Muhammad Ameer , Muhammad Rehan , Shabbir Taimoor , Tiwana Mohsin Islam , Hamza Amir , Saleem Muhammad Mubasher 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to introduce a sensorized surgical grasper with a novel flexible capacitive tactile force sensor integrated within the surgical grasper for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and robot-assisted MIS (RMIS) procedures.

Design/methodology/approach
The proposed sensor offers a unique configuration of sensing electrodes with one top excitation electrode and three bottom electrodes enabling the measurement of normal and shear forces without incorporating any complex decoupling algorithms. The design of the sensor is optimized using finite-element method simulations, ensuring efficiency and reliability.

Findings
Experimental validation, real-time sensor response and application in lump detection through stiffness assessment demonstrate the decoupled force response (0–5 N normal range and 0–2 N shear range) with high sensitivity 0.0124/N, repeatability and hysteresis response with 5.65% and 4.7% errors respectively.

Originality/value
The compact design of the sensor makes it compliant with surgical graspers and therefore enhances the overall efficiency of robotic surgical procedures. The sensorized surgical grasper is fabricated using conventional machining and rapid prototyping techniques, presenting a cost-effective solution for adoption.
Documenting and responding to the views and experiences of autistic people with profound learning disabilities: community and professional perspectives on current day-service practices
Authors: Redmore Ned , Tilley Elizabeth 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper details research that aimed to explore how day services and their staff document and respond to the views and experiences of autistic people with profound learning disabilities.

Design/methodology/approach
This was a qualitative study involving eight interviews, seven workshops and a focus group with day-service staff, people with learning disabilities, autistic people and family members (44 participants).

Findings
This study found that day-service documenting practices focus on formal aspects of service members’ lives, such as behaviour, as opposed to their views or experiences. Support staff reported that they often gain a complex understanding of members’ views and experiences, but this understanding is not drawn upon when services make decisions about support. This study suggested including members’ views and experiences in documenting practices could improve how they are responded to in and out of service provision, though this required greater recognition of the understanding developed between them and their support workers.

Originality/value
This paper contributes knowledge of how the views and experiences of a significantly marginalised group, autistic people with profound learning disabilities, can be better represented within support provision and social care, with practical suggestions regarding how this could be realised.
Finding purpose of life through K’aat-Kaizen in higher education institution’s students: a mixed study in Mexico
Authors: Suárez-Barraza Manuel F. , Huerta-Carvajal María Isabel 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe educational environment in the twenty-first century has evolved by leaps and bounds in the last four years after COVID-19 pandemic. The concern of quality of student’s learning has increased in the last few years derived from the international accreditations and the global competitive environment among the same, some reasons why student learning have decreased have been stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia and eating disorder in different countries as Spain, Mexico and England. In this manner, theoretical frameworks of Individual Kaizen such as the Japanese Ikigai (reason for being in life) or the Mexican and Latin American K’aat-Kaizen (purpose and vision of life) seem that they help this environment. The purpose of this research is to explore how the Kaizen individual model as is the K’aat-Kaizen can help HEIs students in Mexico to find a possible purpose of life that helps them to improve their learning in their university careers.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology of the study was mixed, a quantitative questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were developed and a K’aat-Kaizen Report diary was applied to a group of third and fourth year university students of International Business at the University of the Americas Puebla in Mexico (Private University).FindingsAccording to the results of the mixed research, it is feasible to indicate that an individual Kaizen framework (K’aat-Kaizen) can be applied to undergraduate students of a HEI with positive results. The theoretical sample of 12 students (male and female) allowed to observe a quantitative and qualitative progress of the K’aat-Kaizen framework in its pillars that behaved as vectors of emotional strength. Finally, another important conclusion is that the K’aat-Kaizen brought the students into an environment of harmony (without stress) in the classroom and while they learn they discover their purpose in life, having quality of life in their university environment.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has several limitations, one of them, is the fact that this is a first approach to applying K’aat-Kaizen and that much more research work is needed with a larger sample, and although we have Mexican and French students, it is necessary to extend it to a wider range of samples both in other Mexican universities and abroad. Finally, although mixed research is robust, it is required to work on more data collection methods, maybe a longitudinal approach to see results over time, because with little time it was not possible to identify the mushin-no-shin (do tasks without thinking) in the students.Originality/valueFirst article exploring the implementation of an individual Kaizen framework (the K’aat-Kaizen) to help students find a life purpose to enhance their learning and classroom experience.

Robust analysis of diel activity patterns
Authors: Gilbert Neil A. , Dominoni Davide M. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractResearch Highlight: Iannarilli, F., Gerber, B. D., Erb, J., & Fieberg, J. R. (2024). A ‘how‐to’ guide for estimating animal diel activity using hierarchical models. Journal of Animal Ecology, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365‐2656.14213. Diel activity patterns are ubiquitous in living organisms and have received considerable research attention with advances in the collection of time‐stamped data and the recognition that organisms may respond to global change via behaviour timing. Iannarilli et al. (2024) provide a roadmap for analysing diel activity patterns with hierarchical models, specifically trigonometric generalized linear mixed‐effect models and cyclic cubic spline generalized additive models. These methods are improvements over kernel density estimators, which for nearly two decades have been the status quo for analysing activity patterns. Kernel density estimators have several drawbacks; most notably, data are typically aggregated (e.g. across locations) to achieve sufficient sample sizes, and covariates cannot be incorporated to quantify the influence of environmental variables on activity timing. Iannarilli et al. (2024) also provide a comprehensive tutorial which demonstrates how to format data, fit models, and interpret model predictions. We believe that hierarchical models will become indispensable tools for activity‐timing research and envision the development of many extensions to the approaches described by Iannarilli et al. (2024).
Rapid Icm/Dot T4SS Inactivation Prevents Resuscitation of Heat‐Induced VBNCLegionella pneumophila by Amoebae
Authors: Schmid Camille , Hilbi Hubert 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTLegionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease, employs the Icm/Dot Type IV secretion system (T4SS) to replicate in amoebae and macrophages. The opportunistic pathogen responds to stress by forming ‘viable but non‐culturable’ (VBNC) cells, which cannot be detected by standard cultivation‐based techniques. In this study, we document that L. pneumophila enters the VBNC state after exposure to heat stress at 50°C for 30 h, at 55°C for 5 h or at 60°C for 30 min, while still retaining metabolic activity and intact cell membranes. Resuscitation of heat‐induced VBNC L. pneumophila neither occurred in amoebae nor in macrophages. VBNC L. pneumophila showed impaired uptake by phagocytes, formation of Legionella‐containing vacuoles (LCVs), and Icm/Dot‐dependent secretion of effector proteins. The T4SS was rapidly inactivated already upon exposure to 50°C for 3–5 h, while the bacteria were still culturable. The Legionella quorum sensing (Lqs)‐LvbR network is implicated in VBNC induction, since the ∆lvbR and ∆lqsR mutant strains showed a more pronounced heat sensitivity than the parental strain, and the ∆lqsA mutant was less heat sensitive. Taken together, our results reveal that heat exposure of L. pneumophila rapidly inactivates the Icm/Dot T4SS before the VBNC state is induced, thus impairing resuscitation by amoebae.

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the bioactivities of C. longa extracts and parasitoid A. calandrae against the maize weevil, a significant pest in tropical and subtropical regions. The experiments were conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications and six concentrations of C. longa in an incubator at 27 ± 3°C with 65 ± 5% R.H. and a photoperiod of 12:12 h (L:D). This study found that concentrations of C. longa, except higher concentrations (2.5 and 3%), had no significant effect on the settlement of A. calandrae adults on treated maize grains. Corn kernels treated with C. longa aqueous extracts at 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2% concentrations showed no significant effect on parasitoid development and no significant differences compared to the untreated control. No significant (P > 0.05) differences were found when A. calandrae was offered Sitophilus zeamais for parasitization on maize grains treated with 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5% concentrations of C. longa aqueous extracts. Corn kernels treated with C. longa extracts at the evaluated concentrations reduced the populations of S. zeamais by 20.06, 26.87, 35.19, 41.36, 52.97 and 62.54% whereas; treating with C. longa aqueous extracts at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3% in combination with the release of five pairs of parasitoids per treatment reduced the population of S. zeamais by 64.24, 66.42, 72.71, 80.87, 86.30 and 90.64% respectively. The combination of C. longa extracts at appropriate concentrations and the release of A. calandrae can effectively manage maize weevil in grain storages as an alternative to chemical insecticides.

AbstractMosquitoes are one of the most significant vectors of diseases worldwide. They can transmit many viral and parasitic diseases to humans and animals. A survey was conducted in ten areas in Buraydah City to investigate the prevalence and distribution of mosquitoes in the area. The study involved the collection of adult mosquitoes using Blackhole light traps over a year, from January to December 2021. During this period, a total of 23,346 adult mosquitoes were collected and analyzed as part of the survey. The results showed the presence of several mosquito species, including Aedes aegypti, Ae. caspius, Culex pipiens, Cx. quinquefasciatus, Cx. citizens, and Anopheles d'thali. This mosquito survey revealed the dominance of Cx. mosquitoes, with 21,216 mosquitoes collected out of a total of 23,346, representing 91% of the total. In contrast, the Aedes genus was the second most prevalent species, with 1,860 mosquitoes collected, representing 8% of the total mosquito population. Anopheles mosquitoes were remarkably low, with only 270 individuals collected, representing less than 1% of the total mosquito population. The survey revealed that mosquitoes are present throughout the year, but their density varies due to monthly changes in temperature and humidity. Furthermore, the first documented sighting of the Ae. aegypti mosquito in the city was recorded. This finding represents a serious public health concern, as Ae. aegypti is a known vector of diseases, especially dengue fever. Therefore, there is an urgent need to enhance mosquito surveillance and control measures in Buraydah to mitigate the risks of mosquito‐borne disease outbreaks.
