Stimulating employee work engagement and the growth mindset
Authors: Lyons Paul , Bandura Randall 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this essay is to explore the dynamics of the concepts of workplace engagement and the growth mindset and how they are linked in a work situation. Exploration leads to specific advice for managers in the stimulation of employee thought and behavior related to the concepts.

Design/methodology/approach
The approach taken is to review the two concepts and to explain the importance and value they offer the organization, manager, and the individual employee. Drawn from research are several suggestions for the manager or coach to aid employee development and performance.

Findings
Existing research makes clear that there are several actions managers can take to stimulate the desirable behavior. Collaboration with the employee in specific areas and reinforcement of progress can bring about useful and meaningful changes in behavior and action.

Originality/value
A considerable amount of empirical and other research has been devoted to the two concepts in the past 20 years. Very little of that work has been purposefully directed to the practitioner. This paper attempts to address that shortfall.

Authors: Nguyen Loi Anh , Evan Rebecca , Chaudhuri Sanghamitra , Hagen Marcia , Williams Denise 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Organizations increasingly use inclusion initiatives to reflect a meaningful involvement of their entire workforce as part of their larger diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) strategies. However, the conceptualization of inclusion and its impact on larger DEI efforts and the organization remains unclear, coupled with the organizations’ struggles to find ways to embrace and advance inclusion. Hence, the purpose of this study is to synthesize ways of inclusion conceptualizations and review empirical evidence related to inclusion.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted a literature review using the method of scoping review coupled with topical cluster mapping techniques.

Findings
The authors captured three ways of inclusion conceptualizations and provided an overview of topic clusters related to inclusion and its measurement tools. The authors also proposed a path model of inclusion based on emerging empirical evidence related to inclusion in the workplace.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the pioneering efforts to provide a much-needed review of inclusion in the workplace, which provides guidance for further research and practice to fulfill the goal of inclusion for all in the current workplace.
Individualistic or collectivistic: which consideration motivates purchasing intention of organic foods? A developing country perspective
Authors: Chowdhury Sajib , Ahmed Md. Tanvir , Oni Fahmida Akter , Mamun Tasnim Murad 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThis paper investigates the impact of individualistic (health) and collectivistic considerations (environmental) on the purchasing intention of organic foods.Design/methodology/approachThe study collected 391 responses from service holders of diversified tiers from Bangladesh. It considers two-step structural equation model (SEM), as well as the Ordinal Logistic regression to analyze the fact.FindingsSEM analysis explores that, both the individualistic and collectivistic considerations affect purchasing intention of organic foods. The regression result finds that income, the number of earning members, occupation, age and BMI are influential determinants of weekly purchasing frequency of organic foods. This research suggests, along with consumer's economic solvency an organized market with dissemination of health and environmental benefits of organic foods acts as a catalyst for purchasing intention of those products.Research limitations/implicationsHowever, there is still scope of investigating intention-behavior gap between the actual purchasing behavior and purchasing intention, which is not addressed in this study.Originality/valueTo understand the perception of comparatively educated and solvent people toward purchasing intention of organic foods, this research is one of the pioneering attempts in the context of an unorganized organic food market.

Authors: Ahmad Amouei Mahdieh , Valmohammadi Changiz , Fathi Kiamars 
Published: March 2023

PurposeIn the age of Industry 4.0 (I4.0), digital technologies (DTs) and the technologies' application in supply chain activities have become more important. On the other hand, global pressures for corporate social responsibility in the sustainable production of products are increasing. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to develop and validate an instrument to measure the impact of digital supply chain (DSC) activities on the sustainable performance of manufacturing companies.Design/methodology/approachIn the first step, through an in-depth study of the relevant literature, a conceptual model was developed and a questionnaire containing 51 indicators was designed. The questionnaire was distributed among 356 top managers and experts of the Iranian manufacturing companies, whereby finally 233 sound questionnaires were returned, yielding a response rate of about 64%. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify constructs and sub-constructs and the relationship between them was investigated using the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) method.FindingsBased on the obtained results, three constructs were identified, namely main activities (including sub-constructs: digital supplier, digital manufacturing, digital logistics and innovation and digital customer), support activities (with sub-constructs digital performance, DT and digital human resources) and sustainable performance (with sub-constructs of economic sustainability, environmental sustainability and social sustainability). The designed tool has excellent psychometric properties. The values of t-statistic = 11.07 and β = 0.602 indicate the positive impact of the DSC main activities on sustainable performance. Similarly, t = 2.42 and β = 0.149 prove that DSC support activities have a positive impact on sustainable performance. Also, based on the obtained values (t = 13.16 and β = 0.629), support activities have a significant impact on the main activities of the DSC. Finally, based on the calculated goodness-of-fit (GoF) index value (0.522), this paper concluded that the proposed model has high credibility.Research limitations/implicationsValidation of the model is based on the answers received from the Iranian manufacturing companies. Therefore, caution should be taken regarding the generalizability of the results.Practical implicationsThe proposed model presents a holistic view of the application of DTs in the supply chain and the DTs' impact on sustainable performance which might help manufacturing companies, particularly the Iranian companies to obtain a broader knowledge of the importance of DTs and DTs' usage toward responding to the challenges of today's complex business environment.Originality/valueThis study is among the first of the study's kind that attempts to develop and validate an instrument to measure the impact of DSC activities on the sustainable performance of manufacturing companies.
Electronic human resource management (e-HRM) configuration for organizational success: inclusion of employee outcomes as contextual variables
Authors: Nyathi Musa , Kekwaletswe Ray 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine whether employee outcomes of employee performance and job satisfaction mediate and enhance the effect of e-HRM usage on organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a survey involving 35 organizations using e-HRM systems. A partially mixed sequential dominant status explanatory design was used for the study. A stratified convenience sampling technique was used for the quantitative phase of the study. A purposive sampling technique was employed for the qualitative phase. A structural equation modelling technique with the use of the process macro approach was used to analyse collected data.FindingsThere is a positive relationship between e-HRM usage and employee outcomes. Employee performance and job satisfaction mediate the effect of e-HRM usage on organizational performance. Employee performance and job satisfaction are contextual variables that characterize effective e-HRM configurations.Practical implicationsOrganizations should invest in employee outcomes in order to maximize the potential of e-HRM. The e-HRM configurations characterized by a multiplicity of dimensions are more likely to add to organizational value creation. The deployment of e-HRM systems should be preceded by high levels of employee performance and job satisfaction, for organizational success.Originality/valueThe study contributes to a growing body of knowledge on dimensions, which characterize effective e-HRM configurations, yielding organizational success. Employee performance and job satisfaction should be added to the characteristics of effective e-HRM configurations.
Areas and contexts of the use of robotics in libraries: an overview of the applied solutions and a discussion of prospects
Authors: Wójcik Magdalena 
Published: March 2023

PurposeRobotics is a topic that rarely appears in Library and Information Science literature as it is mainly explored in the field of computer science. It is also a very complex topic that covers various forms of technical solutions that have varying degrees of complexity; these are conventionally referred to as robots. The aim of this article is to present an overview of the applied solutions from the field of robotics in libraries and a discussion of the future prospects for their use in various areas of library activity.Design/methodology/approachThe article is based on a literature review. Systematic comparative searches were made in the Scopus and Web of Science databases and the popular Google Scholar search engine. Publications in English related to the use of robots in libraries were sought in the 2010–2021 period. The results were subjected to qualitative analysis in order to define the main directions of reflection.FindingsThe conducted analyses showed that the topic of the use of robots in libraries is relatively rarely mentioned in LIS literature as the main topic of considerations. In practice, however, many interesting examples of the use of robots in libraries can be found, mainly in the area of educational and popularizing activities.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper is based on a systematic literature review. However, it is based on selected information sources and covers a specific chronological range, therefore it does not reflect all publications in the field of using robots in libraries. The second limitation concerns the examples of library activities mentioned in the text. For obvious reasons, it is not possible to describe all interesting initiatives, so a selection was made to illustrate the main trends.Practical implicationsRobots have a wide practical application in library activities, as evidenced by the examples described in this paper. Systematized reflection on this topic may promote the popularization of the practical implementation of robots in libraries.Social implicationsRobotics is a topic that, due to a lack of reliable knowledge, is often of great concern and social controversy. Disseminating knowledge about the usability of robots may foster a peaceful social debate on this topic.Originality/valueRobotics-related topics are still rarely discussed in the LIS subject literature. In particular, there are no entry-level review articles that would familiarize a reader with the most important findings on the practical aspects of implementing robots in libraries and provide a starting point for reading more detailed publications on specific technologies or implementations.
Modeling the acceptance and resistance to use mobile contact tracing apps: a developing nation perspective

Published: March 2023

PurposeThis study proposes and validates an integrated theoretical model involving the theory of planned behavior (TPB), health belief model (HBM), personal norms and information privacy to understand determinants of acceptance and resistance to the use of mobile contact tracing app (MCTA) in a pandemic situation.Design/methodology/approachThis study draws on online surveys of 194 research respondents and uses partial least squares structural equation modeling (PL-SEM) to test the proposed theoretical model.FindingsThe study establishes that a positive attitude towards MCTA is the most important predictor of individuals' willingness to use MCTA and resistance to use MCTA. Furthermore, barriers to taking action positively influence resistance to the use of MCTA. Personal norms negatively influence resistance to the use of MCTA. Information privacy showed a negative and positive influence on willingness to use MCTA and use the resistance of MCTA, respectively, but neither was statistically significant. The authors found no significant influence of perceived vulnerability, severity, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on either acceptance or use resistance of MCTA.Originality/valueThe study has been one of the first in the literature to propose an integrated theoretical model in the investigation of the determinants of acceptance and resistance to the use of MCTA in a single study, thereby increasing the scientific understanding of the factors that can facilitate or inhibit individuals from engaging in the use of a protection technology during a pandemic situation.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-10-2021-0533
Contesting property: urban commons, statecraft, and the ‘tyranny’ of liberalism in Lebanon
Authors: Stefanelli Alice 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAs heterogeneous forms of commodification threaten the survival of urban commons worldwide, in Beirut a group of residents and professionals has resorted to civic advocacy to keep the beach of Dalieh of Raouche accessible, including calling on public authorities to intervene. Combining Polanyian analysis and recent developments in the anthropology of the state, civic advocacy is recast here as a case of ‘grassroots’ statecraft, adapted to, as well as shaped by, the logics and discourses of late capitalism that it seeks to undo. As such, counter‐movements are reconceptualized as not only defensive, but also offensive and explicitly generative of new political projects and modes of governance. At the same time, the article pushes the argument further to suggest that ‘grassroots’ statecraft in the context of the protection of the commons is inherently multivocal, and that calls for, and rejection of, state intervention may be contained at once within this counter‐movement, forced to coexist by the constraints imposed by the neoliberal political‐economic system it confronts.
Women's “timepass”
Authors: Dubochet Lucy 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn a poor neighborhood of Delhi, women try to cope with unemployment among male breadwinners, and in so doing they often frame their practices as a way of passing time. From the long wait at service points to contentious involvements in work and politics, they depict a host of different and seemingly contradictory activities as meaningless idleness. My analysis of these discourses uncovers a wider pattern of minimizing in which women sometimes internalize and sometimes quietly oppose the constraints that limit what they can do with their time. In a gender landscape where public waiting has usually been associated with men destabilized by a lack of opportunities, women's conversations about lost time become a playing field for alienation, resilience, and subversion, even as the practices that hide underneath allow us a glance into their untold public involvements.

AbstractAn 81‐year‐old man was referred to our hospital for anal bleeding. Colonoscopy revealed a type 3 tumor at the upper rectum and biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. An enhanced circumferential lesion at the upper rectum and a solitary soft‐tissue shadow at the fifth sacral vertebra to the coccyx were detected on abdominal magnetic resonance imaging. Fluorodeoxyglucose uptake was observed at the same sites on positron emission tomography. The patient was diagnosed with rectal cancer with isolated sacrococcygeal metastasis and was treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by robotic surgery. Hartmann's operation was performed in the lithotomy position. The left internal iliac artery and vein were then divided. The internal pudendal artery and vein, the piriformis muscle, and sacrospinous ligament were also divided while preserving the lumbosacral trunk. The scheduled transection line of the sacral surface was fully exposed to prevent massive bleeding during sacrectomy. The dorsal surface of the sacrum was then exposed in the prone position and communicated with the pelvic space. The sacrum was transected at the superior margin of S3 and a specimen was extracted. Pathological findings revealed the infiltration of cancer cells in the sacrococcygeal specimen. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 13.

AbstractMediastinal lymph node recurrence is often observed following esophageal cancer surgery; however, no treatment has been established for the same. Surgical resection is often considered for cases of recurrence in a single lymph node region, although the procedures and approaches vary depending on the recurrence site. Right thoracoscopic resection is rarely opted for owing to its high surgical difficulty. Herein, we report a successful case of right thoracoscopic resection in the supine position for recurrent pretracheal lymph nodes following esophagectomy. The intraoperative findings revealed few adhesions around the recurrent lymph nodes due to the initial surgery, and the recurrent lymph nodes were safely resected within a short period. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 4 without any complications, and there was no recurrence after 20 months. Thus, right thoracoscopic resection may be a promising treatment option for recurrent pretracheal lymph nodes after esophagectomy.
Situational, emotional, and individual dispositions to weight gain in people with hoarding problems

AbstractObjectivesIndividuals with hoarding disorder are more likely to be overweight or obese than the general population for unknown reasons.MethodsOne hundred and twenty‐nine individuals (Hoarding Group: n = 63; Control Group: n = 66) completed self‐report measures and were offered snacks in a tidy and a cluttered environment in a counterbalanced order. Groups were based on the self‐reporting of high or low hoarding symptoms.ResultsThe hoarding group reported being less able to use their kitchen and prepare food at home and experiencing more impulsivity, distress intolerance and problematic eating beliefs than did the control group. The hoarding group consumed more cookies in the tidy room, whereas the control group consumed more cookies in the cluttered room. Greater impulsivity, distress intolerance and problematic body and eating beliefs were related to greater cookie consumption for the hoarding group.ConclusionsEarly interventions that help individuals to tolerate distress and to engage in goal‐directed behaviour regardless of their emotional state may have benefits for both hoarding and eating behaviour. We encourage future researchers to examine this hypothesis.
Determinants of work‐family balance satisfaction during the pandemic: Insights from Québec
Authors: Mathieu Sophie , Tremblay Diane‐Gabrielle , Treleaven Christina , Fuller Sylvia 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe first wave of the COVID pandemic was the most challenging for employed parents, and more specifically for women. In Québec, research has shown a deterioration in the psychological health of parents in the early weeks of the pandemic. In this research, we investigate how Québec parents who remained employed during the lockdown in 2020 perceived their work‐family balance in the stressful context of new earning and caregiving constraints, drawing on survey data collected in May 2020. Our approach integrates insights from psychological, managerial and sociological literatures. We find that most parents who remained employed found their work‐family balance “easy” in the first months of the pandemic, but women felt less satisfied with their work‐family balance than men as well as those whose employers were less understanding and supportive, and those whose workloads increased. The implications of these results are discussed in the light of previous studies on work‐family intersections, to show that gender continues to matter when family members are faced with extraordinary circumstances such as the closing of childcare and schools, even in the egalitarian context of Québec, where fathers are perceived as legitimate caregivers.
