Credibility and trust of information privacy at the workplace in Slovakia. The use of intuition
Authors: Svenson Frithiof , Ballová Mikušková Eva , Launer Markus A. 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
Employees may feel overwhelmed with information privacy choices and have difficulties understanding what they are committing to in the digital workplace. This paper aims to analyze the role of different thinking styles for effort reduction, such as the use of intuition, when employees make decisions about the credibility and trustworthiness of workplace information privacy issues in Slovakia. While the General Data Protection Regulation sets precise requirements for valid consent, organizations are classified as data controllers and are subject to credibility judgments by their employees.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected from 230 employees in Slovakia using a survey questionnaire. Quantitative analysis using SPSS was conducted to describe employees thinking preferences when judging the credibility of information privacy in their organizations.

Findings
The survey participants revealed their perceived credibility and trust in personal data protection and thinking preferences. Unconscious thinking is the type of effort reduction often reported by participants, who perceive high credibility and trust in personal data protection. This study can help managers and data controllers in small- and medium-sized enterprises in reflecting about the way in which people use different thinking processes for decision-making about information privacy in their organizations.

Research limitations/implications
This study set out to explore how decision-making processes at the workplace relate to credibility of data practices. Focusing on the use of different types of intuition, the authors explored whether the preference for a specific decision-making style can explain the perceived credibility of data practices. The part of the workforce in the sample did not have a strict predisposition to use either intuitive or rational thinking.

Practical implications
The contribution provides scholars with an overview of the field of intuition, a field that is likely to grow given the challenges of digitalization for organizations, such as shitstorms, cyberattacks and whistleblowing.

Originality/value
The most well-known concepts from intuition research, e.g. the dual process theory, and practice are tested simultaneously, therewith contributing to the applied literature on domain-specific preferences for intuition and deliberation in decision-making.
Factors affecting the citizen’s intention to adopt e-government in Nigeria
Authors: Muhammad Abubakar Sadiq , Kaya Tuğberk 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate and comprehend the key factors that affect citizens’ adoption of electronic government (e-government) in Nigeria. In addition, the exploration intends to assess the potential determinants that may affect the Nigerian’s behavioural intention (BI) to adopt e-government services. The findings can be helpful for policymakers and government officials to provide e-government practices effectively.

Design/methodology/approach
The research adopted a quantitative method using the unified model of e-government adoption (UMEGA). In this study, data are collected from 410 citizens aged above 18 years old and analysed using partial least squares path modelling technique.

Findings
The results showed that performance expectancy and effort expectancy positively influenced attitude (ATT) towards e-government. In contrast, perceived risk negatively impacted ATT towards e-government. However, social influence did not have a significant influence. The results showed that ATT and facilitating conditions (FC) positively influenced the BI to use e-government services. The explanatory and predictive power of UMEGA in Nigeria accounted for 63.9%.

Originality/value
To the authors’ knowledge, no prior studies analysed citizens’ adoption of e-government in Nigeria. This study, however, filled this gap. This study has contributed to the current knowledge of e-government adoption in Nigeria, which policymakers and government officials can use.
TMT entrepreneurial passion diversity and firm innovation performance: the mediating role of knowledge creation
Authors: Chen Jiawen , Liu Linlin 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study extends the literature on top management team (TMT) diversity and innovation by introducing entrepreneurial passion diversity as an important TMT affective component in determining firm innovation performance. This paper draws on the knowledge-based view and proposes that TMT passion diversity, in terms of intensity separation and focus variety, may hinder the process of knowledge creation, and, in turn, reduce firm innovation performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conduct a questionnaire survey using a simple random sampling technique and collect data from 195 small- and medium-sized enterprises in China. Ordinary least squares regression and a structural equation model are applied to test the hypotheses.

Findings
This study finds that TMT passion intensity separation has a negative effect on firm innovation performance via knowledge exchange and knowledge combination. TMT passion focus variety has a negative effect on firm innovation performance via knowledge combination.

Originality/value
This study highlights the affective diversity of entrepreneurial passion in TMTs and clarifies the detrimental role of TMT entrepreneurial passion diversity in innovation and knowledge creation. It contributes new insights to the literature on TMT diversity, knowledge management and entrepreneurial passion.
“Improved access, delayed accreditation, low recognition”: perspectives of mental health educators, preceptors and students on the Kintampo Project in Ghana
Authors: Agyekum Mary Pomaa , Odopey Selase Adjoa , Asiamah Sabina , Wallis Lucy , Williams John E.O. , Locke Rachel 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study explores the perspective of key informants (educators, preceptors and former students) of the Kintampo Project, on the perceived effectiveness, gains and challenges in delivering this large-scale training innovation in Ghana. The problem of mental health care neglect in Ghana is gradually improving. The Kintampo Project which trained mental health workers in Ghana has played a critical role in increasing access to mental health care.

Design/methodology/approach
This qualitative study explored participants' perspectives on the Kintampo Project in three broad areas: perceived effectiveness, gains and challenges. In all, 17 interviews were conducted with former students, preceptors and educators from the project. The interviews were digitally audio-recorded, transcribed, coded and analysed using deductive and thematic methods.

Findings
The participants perceived the project to have been successful in increasing the number of mental health workers in Ghana. The project provided a route for career progression for those involved. However, the Kintampo Project faced accreditation issues, low recognition, improper integration and remuneration of trained staff in the Ghana Health Service. This study points to the fact that the sustainability of mental health training in Ghana can be obstructed, because of this career path being less attractive. Further research is needed to explore how best to achieve sustainability of similar mental health innovations.

Originality/value
This paper shares the views of participants in the Kintampo Project.
Comparing the attitudes of junior doctors towards mental and physical ill-health: a survey of trainees in North London
Authors: Levene Tamara , Stock Lisanne 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
Doctors are more likely to suffer from mental illness in comparison to the wider population. This is particularly true for junior doctors, who are at increased risk in comparison to their senior colleagues. This study aims to identify whether junior doctors in North London are comfortable discussing mental health problems with their peers and supervisors and to compare how comfortable they are discussing mental and physical health problems.

Design/methodology/approach
An anonymous online questionnaire was designed with demographic data, multiple-choice questions and free-text boxes. This was distributed via email to core psychiatry trainees and foundation doctors in North London. Drug- and alcohol-related disorders were excluded from our definition of mental illness in this survey, as these are reportable to the General Medical Council.

Findings
A total of 51 junior doctors responded to the survey. The respondents were significantly more likely to discuss mental health problems with their peers in comparison to their supervisors. They were also less likely to discuss mental health problems in comparison to physical health problems with their peers, supervisors or general practitioner. Qualitative analysis of the free-text comments elucidated several themes including the stigmatisation of mental health.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there has been no prior research in the UK comparing the attitudes of junior doctors towards physical and mental ill-health. The questionnaire highlights the continued stigma towards mental health within the medical profession. The difference in attitudes towards physical and mental ill-health has important implications for the training and well-being of junior doctors.
Exploration of potential money laundering crimes with virtual currency facilities in Indonesia
Authors: Meiryani Meiryani 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to exploration potential money laundering crimes with virtual currency facilities in Indonesia. Money laundering using crypto is the process of disguising the origin of money obtained illegally. Then, the perpetrator transfers it to a legitimate business. Virtual money then started to become a phenomenon in society since the emergence of cryptocurrencies as a form of technology development of e-commerce activities.

Design/methodology/approach
This research method is normative law which is prescriptive. The data collection technique used is document study or literature study by collecting primary and secondary legal materials.

Findings
The results of this study show that the bitcoin virtual currency has the potential to act as a means of money laundering. There are technologies and online platforms that are moving with more sophisticated methods. Through bitcoin exchanges, it has the greatest potential for money laundering. The usage of virtual currency (cryptocurrency) by those who commit money laundering offenses is responsible for the actions’ severe negative effects on the State of Indonesia.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study conducted in Indonesia that explores potential money-laundering crimes using virtual currency facilities.
I am ashamed of my brand-self! Consumer-brand identification as a moderator of emotional reactions following symbol-laden brand failures
Authors: Weitzl Wolfgang J. , Hutzinger Clemens , Wagner Udo 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The study of shame has a long tradition in intra- and inter-personal psychology. This paper aims to investigate whether consumers can experience brand shame after self-relevant consumption incidents. Specifically, this research proposes that consumers follow a complex shame-inducing process in the aftermath of unpleasant experiences involving their favorite brand. The moderating role of relational tie strength between consumers and their favorite brand existing prior to symbolic failures is examined.

Design/methodology/approach
A scenario-based, online survey (n = 660) among consumers who have recently experienced a self-relevant failure with their favorite brand was conducted. Confirmatory factor analysis ensured the reliability and validity of the measurement model. For testing the conceptual model, data was analyzed by means of a moderated mediation analysis. The proposed model was tested against, among others, common method bias and alternative models. The findings were cross-validated with a scenario-based online experiment (n = 1,616).

Findings
Results show that brand shame is a key mediator between customer dissatisfaction and brand anger when self-relevant, symbolic failures happen. Moreover, strong consumer-brand identification triggers brand-detrimental effects. It is shown to influence the connection between consumers’ inward- (i.e. brand shame) and resulting outward-directed (i.e. brand anger) negative emotions on brands, which lead to consumer vengeance.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research is the first to introduce the concept of situational brand shame to the literature on favorite brands. Furthermore, it shows that consumer-brand identification moderates the direct and indirect (via brand shame) unfavorable effects of failure-induced dissatisfaction on brand anger. This research adds insights to the investigation of the “love-becomes-hate” effect arising after self-relevant failures involving consumers’ most preferred brand.
Modelling of Basic Yellow 28 adsorption onto activated carbon: batch and continuous process
Authors: Kol Zeliha Betül , Duranoğlu Dilek 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to model and investigate Basic Yellow 28 (BY28) adsorption onto activated carbon in batch and continuous process.

Design/methodology/approach
Batch adsorption experiments were carried out at 25 °C with 50 mg/L BY28 solution at pH 6 with different amounts of activated carbon. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherm models were used to model batch data. Pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models were applied with linear regression. The changes of the breakthrough curve with the column height, flow rate, column diameter and adsorbent amount were examined in fixed bed column at room temperature. BY28 adsorption data were modelled by using different adsorption column models (Adams & Bohart, Thomas, Yoon & Nelson, Clark and modified dose–response) with non-linear regression.

Findings
Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model expressed the experimental data with high compatibility. Modified dose-response model corresponded to the fixed bed column data very well.

Originality/value
Adsorption of Basic Yellow 28 on activated carbon in a fixed bed column was studied for the first time. Continuous adsorption process was modelled with theoretical adsorption models using non-linear regression.

Authors: Gebeyaw Soliyana , Beyene Kura Alemayehu , Seid Eradu , Mustofa Zemzem , Rotich Gideon K. 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to manufacture alternative window shutters using waste cotton fabrics by stiffening using polyvinyl acetate (PVA) with vinyl acrylic binder solutions.

Design/methodology/approach
The manufactured fabrics were evaluated for their tensile strength, drapeability, bending length by weight and color fastness to light. And finally, an analysis of variance was done for each parameter.

Findings
As the percent of PVA with a vinyl acrylic solution and the number of layers increased, the tensile strength, drape coefficient (percent), bending length (cm), and color fastness to light increased in both directions. The percent of PVA with a vinyl acrylic solution and the number of layers are statistically significant for each response such as tensile strength, drape coefficient (percent), bending length (cm), color fastness to light and water repellency at a 95% confidence interval. Tensile strength, drape coefficient (%) and bending length (cm) are always greater in the warp direction than in the weft direction. The tensile strength, drape coefficient (percent), bending length (cm) and color fastness to light of treated fabrics samples are greater than those of the untreated fabrics.

Originality/value
The factory waste fabrics can be recycled into window shutters which will provide the cheaper raw material for window shutter manufacturers.
Board attributes, ownership structure, and corporate social responsibility: evidence from A-share listed technological companies in China
Authors: Ma Angela Kit Fong , Chen Yiming 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is threefold. The first is to conduct a comprehensive examination of the various board attributes to corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting in the Chinese technology industry. The second is to investigate the impact of ownership and board attributes on CSR. The third is to examine the moderating effect of media reporting on the relationship between CSR and company financial performance.

Design/methodology/approach
All A-share listed Chinese companies during the years 2011–2019 with 1,573 firm-year observations have been investigated for this study. The data are analysed by CSR metrics in the form of environmental, social and governance (ESG) scores using an ordinary least squares regression analysis and fixed effect regression models.

Findings
The results of this longitudinal study reveal that; no matter whether the companies are state-own or non-state-own, there is a significant positive effect of board independence, monetary incentives, director’s age and board size on the CSR disclosure of the Chinese technology industry. Also, the results support the importance of CSR performance in promoting the corporate financial performance (CFP) of the technology sector. Specifically, media reporting has a positive impact on the CSR reporting of both state-own and non-state-own technological companies in China.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study based on the ESG metrics for analysing the CSR and firm performance relationship conducted in the unique setting of the state-own and non-state-own technological companies in China. The study is an attempt to fill the gap in the extant literature, which has a scarce number of studies focused on the influence of media reporting on the relationship between CSR performance and CFP. This paper not only updates the existing understanding of CSR performance by board attributes and company ownership but also explains the significance of media reporting in enhancing the CSR performance of the Chinese technology industry.
Drying, more than warming, alters ecosystem functioning in streams with different energy pathways
Authors: Nelson Daniel , Busch Michelle H. , Kopp Darin A. , Allen Daniel C. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Empirical evidence and theory suggest that climate warming and an increase in the frequency and duration of drying events will alter the metabolic balance of freshwater ecosystems. However, the impacts of climate change on ecosystem metabolism may depend on whether energy inputs are of autochthonous or allochthonous origin. To date, few studies have examined how warming and drying may interact to alter stream metabolism, much less how their impacts may depend on the energy‐base of the food web.

To address this research gap, we conducted a multi‐factorial experiment using outdoor mesocosms to investigate the individual and synergistic effects of warming and drought on metabolic processes in stream mesocosms with green (algal‐based) vs. mixed (algal‐ and detritus‐based) vs. brown (detritus‐based) energy pathways.

We set up 48 mesocosms with one of three different levels of shade and leaf litter input combinations to create mesocosms with different primary energy channels. In addition, we warmed half of the mesocosms by ~2–3°C. We assessed changes in ecosystem respiration (ER), gross primary production (GPP), net ecosystem production (NEP) and organic matter biomass in warmed and ambient temperature mesocosms before a 24 day drying event and after rewetting.

Surprisingly, experimental warming had little effect on metabolic processes. Drying, however, led to decreased rates of ER and GPP and led to an overall reduction in NEP. Although the effects of drying were similar across energy channel treatments, reductions in ER and GPP were primarily driven by decreases in biomass of benthic and filamentous algae.

Overall, we demonstrate that drying led to lower rates of NEP in mesocosms regardless of energy inputs. While warming showed little effect in our study, our results suggest that an increase in the frequency of stream drying events could greatly alter the metabolic balance of many aquatic ecosystems.

Long transients and dendritic network structure affect spatial predator–prey dynamics in experimental microcosms
Authors: Green Matthew D. , Woodie Clara A. , Whitesell Megan , Anderson Kurt E. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract

Spatial dynamics can promote persistence of strongly interacting predators and prey. Theory predicts that spatial predator–prey systems are prone to long transients, meaning that the dynamics leading to persistence or extinction manifest over hundreds of generations. Furthermore, the form and duration of transients may be altered by spatial network structure. Few empirical studies have examined the importance of transients in spatial food webs, especially in a network context, due to the difficulty in collecting the large scale and long‐term data required.

We examined predator–prey dynamics in protist microcosms using three experimental spatial structures: isolated, river‐like dendritic networks and regular lattice networks. Densities and patterns of occupancy were followed for both predators and prey over a time scale that equates to >100 predator and >500 prey generations.

We found that predators persisted in dendritic and lattice networks whereas they went extinct in the isolated treatment. The dynamics leading to predator persistence played out over long transients with three distinct phases. The transient phases showed differences between dendritic and lattice structures, as did underlying patterns of occupancy.

Spatial dynamics differed among organisms in different trophic positions. Predators showed higher local persistence in more connected bottles while prey showed this in more spatially isolated ones. Predictions based on spatial patterns of connectivity derived from metapopulation theory explained predator occupancy, while prey occupancy was better explained by predator occupancy.

Our results strongly support the hypothesized role of spatial dynamics in promoting persistence in food webs, but that the dynamics ultimately leading to persistence may occur with long transients which in turn may be influenced by spatial network structure and trophic interactions.
Interactions between tea polyphenols and nutrients in food
Authors: Dai Yi‐Hui , Wei Jia‐Ru , Chen Xiao‐Qiang 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTea polyphenols (TPs) are important secondary metabolites in tea and are active in the food and drug industry because of their rich biological activities. In diet and food production, TPs are often in contact with other food nutrients, affecting their respective physicochemical properties and functional activity. Therefore, the interaction between TPs and food nutrients is a very important topic. In this review, we describe the interactions between TPs and food nutrients such as proteins, polysaccharides, and lipids, highlight the forms of their interactions, and discuss the changes in structure, function, and activity resulting from their interactions.
