AbstractBackground and objectivesThe consumption of unprocessed or minimally processed whole plant foods and of ultra-processed foods, as defined by the Nova food classification system, are associated in opposite ways with diet quality and risk of diseases. However, it can be difficult to evaluate and monitor the consumption of these foods in some contexts due to lack of resources and time constraints for data collection. This study aimed to describe two simple and easily derived diet quality scores and evaluate their performance in reflecting the dietary share of unprocessed or minimally processed whole plant foods and ultra-processed foods.MethodsA total of 812 adults (18 years old or older) answered the Nova24h screener, a 2-minute self-administered questionnaire that measures the consumption of a set of foods on the day before the interview. Food items included in this tool belong to two main groups of Nova classification: unprocessed or minimally processed whole plant foods (WPF, 33 food items) and ultra-processed foods (UPF, 23 food items). Two scores are obtained from this tool by summing the number of items checked - the Nova-WPF and the Nova-UPF. We compared the Nova-WPF and the Nova-UPF scores with the dietary intake (% of total energy) of all unprocessed or minimally processed whole plant foods and all ultra-processed foods, respectively, obtained through a full self-administered web-based 24-hour recall, applied on the same day. We evaluated the relationship between the approximate quintiles or intervals of each score and the corresponding % of energy intake by linear regression, and the agreement between the intervals of each score with the intervals of the corresponding % of energy intake, using the Prevalence-Adjusted and Bias-Adjusted Kappa (PABAK).ResultsApproximate quintiles of each score presented a direct and linear relationship with the corresponding % of energy intake (p-value for linear trend <0.001). We found a substantial agreement between the intervals of each score and of the corresponding % of energy intake (PABAK 0.72, 95% CI 0.64-0.81 for the Nova-WPF score and PABAK 0.79, 95% CI 0.69-0.88, for the Nova-UPF score).ConclusionsThese two scores performed well against the dietary share of unprocessed or minimally processed whole plant foods and ultra-processed foods in Brazil and can thus be used to evaluate and monitor diet quality.
The impact of COVID-19 on parents of autistic children with a particular focus on access to respite care
Authors: Cooke Emma , Brenner Maria , Smith Valerie 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted parents of autistic children and their families in Ireland.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative thematic analysis methodology was applied using semi-structured interviews. A total of 12 parents (ten mothers, one father and one grandfather speaking on behalf of a mother) of autistic children were asked how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted them and their autistic child with a particular focus on how it has impacted their access to respite care. Interviews were completed remotely from July 2021 to October 2021.

Findings
Data analysis identified four themes that reflect an adverse pandemic impact. These were: world gone; alone and isolated; constantly fighting for help; and negative and positive impact of COVID-19 on child and family. Two parents reported positive outcomes of the pandemic such as social distance requirements. Five parents (42%) reported an increase in the amount of respite received. Three parents (25%) reported a decrease and four (33%) parents reported no change in their access to respite.

Research limitations/implications
COVID-19 has turned a spotlight on mental health for politicians, policymakers and the public and provides an opportunity to make mental health a higher public health priority for autistic children and their families.

Originality/value
This study highlights the need for access to respite for autistic children and for respite services to be responsive to the ongoing needs, in particular, the mental health needs of autistic children and their family, particularly in a crisis situation.
The perceived value of oat milk and the food-choice motives of young, urban people
Authors: Halme Merja , Pirttilä-Backman Anna-Maija , Pham Trang 
Published: May 2023

PurposeBoth governments and the food industry are interested in plant-based products. New products are advertised as climate-friendly, with plant-based materials increasingly replacing animal-based content. In Finland, oat milk dominates the plant-based milk market. The authors studied what features young and urban users of plant-based and cow's milk value in oat milk for coffee and how the preferences of the users relate to ethical food-choice motives.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 308 students filled in an e-questionnaire. The survey used best-worst scaling (BWS), a discrete choice approach, to measure the perceived values related to oat milk characteristics. The ethical motives were measured by a version of the Lindeman and Väänänen scale. Also the respondents' diets were asked. Preference clusters were identified and viewed with the ethical food-choice motives and diets.FindingsThe respondent group that exclusively used cow's milk attached more value to taste, added nutritional elements, discounts and recommendations by friends. The rest of the respondents attached more value to origin and sustainability-related features of oat milk. In the six-cluster solution, one extreme cluster was valuing taste and the other was valuing sustainability-related issues. All the ethical food-choice motives: ecological welfare, political values and religion were (roughly) the higher the cluster valued sustainability-related items. The respondents eating meat were more likely to belong to the clusters valuing taste than non-meat eaters that belong more likely to clusters valuing sustainability-related features.Originality/valueVery few earlier studies have explored the heterogeneity of valuations of plant-based products and the products' relationship with ethical food-choice motives.
Marketing organic products: challenges and opportunities for a sustainable living
Authors: Attri Rekha , Bairagi Rahul 
Published: May 2023

Learning outcomes
After reading and discussing the case, the participants would be able to:▪ articulate the challenges associated with retailing of organic products.▪ suggest paid, owned and earned digital marketing tools to Manav Chetna Vikas Kendra (MCVK);▪ suggest a digital marketing budget;▪ discuss essential elements of a good website design; and▪ discuss various website analytics metrics.

Case overview/synopsis
This case describes the challenges faced by the founder, Ajay Dayama, and members of MCVK, who believed in the concept of sustainable community living through the production and marketing of organic food products. They believed that they would be able to share their philosophy of sustainable living through their products reaching out to a larger population rather than just being consumed by community members. This paved the way for the creation of a brand by the name SATT offering products under the lifestyle, nutriment and wellness categories. Marketing and sales of SATT products came with a bundle of challenges, and it was not easy to convince customers about the authenticity, quality and pricing of these products. Many organic products sold by competitors were available on e-commerce platforms, while SATT relied on direct marketing. Low customer acceptance for SATT products would weaken the sustainability dream of the community. How MCVK could increase awareness and acceptance of SATT products was a big area of concern for Ajay.

Complexity academic level
This case is suitable for students enrolled for full credit course on Digital Marketing at postgraduate level. The case can be discussed towards the middle of the course.

Public trust in government doctors and hospitals in India
Authors: Panda Sitakanta 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe author studies the determinants of public trust in government doctors and hospitals (DH) – a crucial indicator of the quality of a country's healthcare system – in India by analyzing the India Human Development Survey (IHDS) 2011–2012.Design/methodology/approachThe author uses descriptive statistics and a set of ordered probit regression models controlling for a set of individual-specific, household-level and other covariates and analyze across heterogeneous contexts (national/rural/urban/male heads/female heads/social groups).FindingsAcross contexts, people reporting a great deal of trust in private DH (PDH) are significantly more likely to report a great deal of trust in government DH. Those people with a great deal of trust in government schools to provide good education (vis-à-vis people with only some trust in government school) have significantly higher likelihood of reporting a great deal of trust in government DH. Visiting a private doctor last time (vis-à-vis a government doctor) makes reporting higher trust levels in government DH less likely.Practical implicationsIndia's healthcare system is afflicted with several resource allocation problems and low public trust issues are indicative of misgovernance. In presence of limited state capacity, ubiquitous corruption and underwhelming institutional trust, understanding the factors influencing public trust in healthcare providers is critical to designing appropriate trust-enhancing public health policies.Originality/valueGiven the sparse empirical literature on public trust in healthcare systems in the developing countries such as India, this study is a pertinent contribution as the study explains the determinants of public trust in DH using a comprehensive unit-recorded household survey dataset.
Disentangling the relationship between omnichannel integration and customer trust: a response surface analysis
Authors: Li Yang , Fang Jie , Yuan Shuai , Cai Zhao 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThis study aims to examine whether customer trust is influenced by the congruence and incongruence between customers' perceptions of two types of omnichannel integration—perceived transactional integration (PTI) and perceived relational integration (PRI). The authors further considered the perceived effectiveness of e-commerce institutional mechanisms (PEEIM) as the boundary condition of omnichannel integration's effect.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon the stereotype content model, this study hypothesizes the influences of PTI and PRI on customer trust wherein PEEIM moderates the relationships. The research model was empirically examined based on the responses surface analysis of survey data collected from 311 omnichannel customers.FindingsResults showed that when PTI and PRI are congruent, customers are inclined to trust brands that have high levels of PTI and PRI rather than low levels of PTI and PRI. Moreover, the incongruence between PTI and PRI is positively related to customer trust. PEEIM was found to weaken the congruence effect while strengthening the incongruence effect. The authors also examined customer distrust as another relational outcome to provide a robust check.Originality/valueThis study uncovers customer cognition of omnichannel integration and examines the influences on customer trust, therefore contributing to our understanding of omnichannel integration's effect from the customer perspective. Findings from this research provide insights for brand managers on deploying channel integration strategies and institutional mechanisms to manage customer trust.
Revisiting the relationship between idiosyncratic risk and stock returns: a quantile regression analysis in the context of an emerging market
Authors: Ullah Saif , Jabeen Mehwish , Farooq Muhammad , Hamayun Asad Afzal 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe relationship between idiosyncratic risk and stock return has been debated for decades; this study reexamined this relationship in the Pakistani stock market by using the quantile regression approach along with the prospect theory.Design/methodology/approachThe present study is quantitative, and secondary data obtained from an emerging market are used. The quantile regression method allows the estimates of idiosyncratic risk to vary across the entire distribution of stock returns, i.e. the dependent variable. In this study, the standard deviation of regression residuals from the Fama and French three-factor model was used to measure idiosyncratic risk. Convenience sampling is employed; the sample consists of 82 firms listed on the KSE-100 index, with 820 annual observations for the ten years from 2011 to 2020. After computing results by using quantile regression, the study's findings, ordinary least squares (OLS) and least sum of absolute deviation (LAD) regression techniques are also compared.FindingsThe quantile regression estimation results indicate that idiosyncratic risk is positively correlated with stock returns and that this relationship is contingent on whether prices are rising or falling. Consistent with the prospect theory, the finding suggests that stock investors tend to avoid risk when they anticipate a loss but are more willing to take risks when they anticipate a profit. The results of the OLS and LAD regressions indicate that the method typically employed in previous studies does not adequately describe the relationship between idiosyncratic risk and stock return at extreme points or across the entire distribution of stock return.Originality/valueThese empirical findings shed new light on the relationship between idiosyncratic risk and stock return in Pakistani stock market literature.
How do business educators prepare students better about ethical decision-making?
Authors: Do Hau Thi Kim 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to identify predictors that affect business student perceptions on ethical decision-making. This paper also investigates how those predictors impact the decision-making related to ethical matters among Vietnamese business students.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was conducted to collect data for testing the hypotheses. Questionnaires were administered to 500 Vietnamese business students from four public and private universities. The independent t-test was applied to the usable sample to analyze and derive relationships.

Findings
The empirical results showed that idealism and relativism significantly predict the perception of ethical decision-making. Idealism and relativism were found to influence high ethical decision-making significantly.

Originality/value
The study contributes to the literature on ethical decision-making in a transitional economy. New findings and insights from the research serve as a foundation for future research with ethics and decision-making topics. The results offer some insights to business schools in improving their ethical teaching courses and to businesses in their recruitment.
Talent management and performance in the public sector: the mediating role of line managerial support
Authors: Semaihi Saeed Obaid , Ahmad Syed Zamberi , Khalid Khalizani 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThis study investigates the relationship between talent management and individual work performance in public sector organizations and evaluates the influence of line managerial support on mediating the link between talent management and individual work performance.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 128 respondents working in public sector organizations in the United Arab Emirates. SPSS was used to perform multiple regression analysis to analyze direct relationships between talent management and line managerial support on individual work performance. Using PROCESS mediation analysis, this study also investigates the mediating effects of line managerial support.FindingsThe present study reveals that line managerial support insignificantly influence the individual work performance. Moreover, the findings indicate a substitution effect between talent management and line managerial support, suggesting that public sector organizations may spend their money on relieving line managers of their responsibilities for talent development so that they may focus on other duties.Practical implicationsMore dynamic perspectives on TM in the public sector are necessary to understand better how the TM agenda changes in response to changes in the strategic trajectories of public sector organizations and the interconnection between TM and performance in the public sector.Originality/valueThis study contributes to talent management research in the public sector domain of developing nations by emphasizing the crucial role of line managers in applying TM practices.
The dark side of leadership: abusive supervision and its effects on Employee's behavior and well-being
Authors: Santos Célia , Coelho Arnaldo , Filipe Ana , Marques Alzira Maria Ascensão 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe aim of this study is to examine the impact of abusive supervision on employees' emotional and work-related outcomes, using a theoretical framework that integrates affective events theory (AET) and self-determination theory (SDT). The research sought to explore the effects of abusive supervision on subordinates' positive and negative affect, and the subsequent impact on customer orientation and life satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe data for this study were collected cross-sectionally through a structured questionnaire completed by employees who have experienced abusive supervision in their current or previous jobs. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data.FindingsThe results indicated that when subordinates experienced abusive supervision, they reported lower levels of positive affect and higher levels of negative affect. These emotions, in turn, impacted their customer orientation and life satisfaction. Positive affect was found to positively influence both customer orientation and life satisfaction, while negative affect had a negative effect on life satisfaction. Surprisingly, customer orientation was positively impacted by negative affect.Originality/valueTherefore, the findings of this study suggest that positive and negative affects mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and life satisfaction, but not with customer orientation. This study advances prior research by linking the impact of an abusive supervisor to employees' customer behavior and life satisfaction, using positive and negative affects as mediators, and building upon the theories of AET and SDT.

Authors: Córdoba Iñesta Ana Isabel , Ortí Notari Pilar , Gfellner Barbara M. 
Published: May 2023

PurposeAttitudes, experiences and knowledge about menopause are relevant, especially when menopause starts earlier than expected. This study aims to examine women who underwent this transition “early” and “on-time” according to these factors.Design/methodology/approachThe sample included 117 women, 69 with “on-time” and 48 with premature menopause. Participants completed three questionnaires.FindingsWomen with premature menopause had a better understanding of it but more negative attitudes and a higher incidence of physical and psychological symptoms, although they indicated greater feelings of control over their symptoms. Moreover, “early” menopause women appeared to exhibit greater anxiety.Practical implicationsResults underscore the need to inform women about menopause as a natural developmental process.Originality/valueThis paper shows the menopause as a difficult transition especially for women with early menopause.
On-campus accommodation service quality: the mediating role of students' satisfaction on word of mouth
Authors: Gabbianelli Linda , Pencarelli Tonino 
Published: May 2023

PurposeBased on the main studies presented in the literature, this work aims to examine the level of student satisfaction towards the on-campus accommodation service provided by an Italian university. Notably, the objectives of the study are twofold: (1) to examine the mediating role of student satisfaction on the relationship between university on-campus accommodation service quality and word-of-mouth and (2) to determine whether there is any significant difference in students' satisfaction towards on-campus accommodation in terms of gender and the halls of residence.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on the results of a survey carried out through an online questionnaire by 381 students living on campus at the University of Urbino.FindingsThe findings revealed that the quality perceived by university students in relation to individual services had a positive impact on their general satisfaction towards the halls of residence experience.Research limitations/implicationsThe study presents some limitations such as lack of temporal comparisons, a focus on specific service quality items and the fact that it refers to a single Italian university.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study will help the management of public universities to improve the quality of services in their halls of residence for the satisfaction of their students.Originality/valueTo the authors' knowledge, there have been no previous studies about on-campus accommodation service quality conducted in Italy. The study contributes to enrich the service quality literature, confirming both that the sum of the quality of individual elements is not as the overall satisfaction and the outcome intention of positive WOM depends not only on service quality attributes, but also from an overall evaluation of satisfaction.
