CSR influence on job performance: the roles of psychological needs fulfillment and organizational identification among tourism firms
Authors: Guo Qianqian , Shen Huawen , Fan Daisy X.F. , Buhalis Dimitrios 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This research paper aims to explore whether and how perceived corporate social responsibility (CSR) influences employee-associated outcomes in ways that are controllable by managers. Drawing from the theories of self-determination and social identity, this study investigates the mediating effects of psychological needs fulfillment and organizational identification in exploring the mechanisms that link perceived CSR to employee job performances of Chinese state-owned tourism companies.

Design/methodology/approach
Survey was used to collect original data from ten Chinese state-owned tourism companies to examine the proposed model. Data was analyzed through structural equation modeling.

Findings
Employees’ perceptions of CSR are found to demonstrate significantly effective associations with their job performance. Moreover, results support that the influences of CSR on staff’s job performance are also conveyed through psychological needs fulfillment (competence) and organizational identification (i.e. cognitive identification and affective identification).

Practical implications
Findings not only provide strategic ideas and operational tactics for tourism managers to devise CSR strategies and allocate CSR resources but also offer inspirations to integrate CSR initiatives with human resource management strategies.

Originality/value
This study diverts the research of CSR from the organizational level to the individual level. This study also explores the mechanism of psychological needs fulfillment and organizational identification underlying processes in the employee perceptions of CSR–job performance linkages.
Enhancing global supply chain resilience in the Indonesian medical device industry: a dynamic capability perspective
Authors: Pratono Aluisius Hery , Maharani Asri 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to understand how the global supply chain in the medical device industry embraces resilience by adopting agility approach following COVID-19.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts an interpretative approach to examine the qualitative data drawn from interviews and observation under dynamic capability theory. The data collection concerned multiple stakeholders involved in purchasing and supply management in the medical device market: manufacturing suppliers, channel partners, hospital management and end-users. The coding analysis uses an application that helps the researchers categorise the nodes and extend the existing literature.

Findings
The findings show that global supply chain leaders leverage the dynamic capability by centralising the business process decision to respond to the shifting demand from the local governments to the national health ministry, shaping the partnership style from the area- to the funnel-based agreement, even though it exposes a risk of product acceptability from the end-users, encouraging the distributor to convert just-in-time approach into holding safety stock to avoid penalty from missing the procurement target even and restructuring the local partners’ debts to manage long-term performance.

Originality/value
This study extends the emerging literature in international business by underpinning dynamic capability theory.

Authors: Vardell Emily 
Published: April 2023

PurposeThis qualitative study explores how individuals understand health insurance concepts and make health insurance purchase decisions. The study sought to develop a model of the health insurance decision-making process.Design/methodology/approachThis study used semi-structured interview questions and the micro-moment time-line interview technique with newly hired employees to discuss the steps that individuals follow when making health insurance decisions. The researcher used an open coding approach to analyze the steps listed by each participant, and emergent themes were used to code all interview transcripts in Atlas.ti.FindingsThis study identified information tactics used by individuals when evaluating health insurance documentation. The findings also shed light on the personal reflection individuals undertake when making their health insurance choices.Practical implicationsThe information needs and preferred information sources identified in this study will be of interest to information professionals and human resources officers providing assistance with health insurance enrolment.Originality/valueThe findings demonstrating that participants characterized their health insurance choice as a shared decision is a novel contribution of this study.
Linking LMX and happiness at work through symbolic interaction theory – The role of self-esteem and organizational embeddedness
Authors: Qamar Faisal , Soomro Shuaib Ahmed 
Published: April 2023

PurposeDrawing on the symbolic interaction theory, this research examines leader–member exchange (LMX) and employee’s happiness at work (HAW) with mediation of self-esteem (SE) and moderation of organizational embeddedness (OE).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses data collected from a sample of 246 employees working in fast moving consumer goods companies (FMCGs) and applied SmartPLS to analyze the proposed model.FindingsFindings reveal that LMX predicts HAW. Whereas, the follower’s SE fully transmitted the effect of LMX on employee’s HAW. Moreover, OE moderated the relationship between LMX and HAW.Practical implicationsLeaders should consider quality LMX interactions with their employees in prevailing global crises. LMX can improve the relationship with team members and boost their SE resulting in HAW. Furthermore, organizations should promote such practices which may enhance their employees' OE for enhanced workplace happiness.Originality/valueThe study is among the very few works which apply symbolic interaction as an overarching framework to explain the employees' HAW.
Demographic differences in attitude, subjective norms, behavioral intention, and knowledge sharing behavior: an empirical study of non-academic staff from India and the UAE
Authors: Kaba Abdoulaye , Eletter Shorouq , Ramaiah Chennupati K. , El Refae Ghaleb A. 
Published: April 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to understand knowledge-sharing behavior of nonacademic staff. In relation to the theory of reasoned action (TRA), the study investigated demographic characteristic differences in attitude, subjective norms, behavioral intention and knowledge-sharing behavior of nonacademic staff from India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a survey method and questionnaire instrument to collect data from 467 participants. The participants were nonacademic staff working for two academic universities in India and the UAE. The two universities were Pondicherry University (266 respondents) and Al Ain University (201 respondents). The collected data were treated and analyzed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software for statistical analyses and frequency distributions.

Findings
The findings of the study showed that nonacademic staff from India and the UAE have a positive attitude toward knowledge-sharing, subjective norms and positive behavioral intention and are frequently involved in knowledge-sharing behavior. In addition, the study’s findings indicated statistically significant demographic differences in attitude, subjective norms and behavior intense knowledge-sharing behavior of nonacademic staff from India and the UAE. Nonacademic participants from India expressed a higher positive attitude toward knowledge-sharing and demonstrated more involvement in knowledge-sharing behavior than the respondents from the UAE. The findings of the study accepted 8 out of 20 stated hypotheses. The accepted hypotheses support the TRA theory and suggest the impact of age, job position, tenure of work and geographical diversity on attitude, subjective norms, behavioral intention and knowledge-sharing behavior. The study’s results suggested that nonacademic staff of 50 and above age groups are more likely to share knowledge than the nonacademic staff of 49 and fewer age groups. Likewise, the findings of the study suggested that nonacademic staff with a long tenure of work experience are more likely to share their knowledge with their coworkers than those with a short tenure of work experience.

Originality/value
Studies targeting knowledge sharing among nonacademic staff are scarce as compared to academic staff and students. Nonacademic staff are different from students and academic staff in attitudes and behavior. This study contributes to the expansion of knowledge sharing through the investigation of knowledge-sharing behavior of nonacademic staff. Moreover, the study expands the understanding of knowledge-sharing behavior through the use of demographic characteristics in relation to the TRA theory. In addition, most of the previous studies are based on data collected from one country, and this study is based on data collected from two countries.
Priming citizens to think about public participation initiatives: Does it impact their view of government?
Authors: Thomsen Mette Kjærgaard , Opstrup Niels 
Published: April 2023

AbstractPrior research has shown that public participation initiatives may have positive effects on how participating citizens view government. However, little is known about whether and how priming citizens to think about such initiatives influences the view of government among the larger public. Using a survey experiment, we find that the effect of priming citizens to think of a public participation initiative that includes a small group of citizens on their view of government is conditional on how proximate the service, which the initiative resolves around, is to citizens. Notably, across outcome measures we a find a negative priming effect among those for which the service is not proximate. These results are highly important, as they suggest that among the larger public, public participation initiatives—that involve few citizens—may have mixed results on the view of government, thus questioning the legitimacy of decisions reached by such initiatives.

Published: April 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo examine indirect spillover effects of Affordable Care Act (ACA) Medicaid expansions to working‐age adults on health care coverage, spending, and utilization by older low‐income Medicare beneficiaries.Data Sources2010–2018 Health and Retirement Study survey data linked to annual Medicare beneficiary summary files.Study DesignWe estimated individual‐level difference‐in‐differences models of total spending for inpatient, institutional outpatient, physician/professional provider services; inpatient stays, outpatient visits, physician visits; and Medicaid and Part A and B Medicare coverage. We compared changes in outcomes before and after Medicaid expansion in expansion versus nonexpansion states.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsThe sample included low‐income respondents aged 69 and older with linked Medicare data, enrolled in full‐year traditional Medicare, and residing in the community.Principal FindingsACA Medicaid expansion was associated with a 9.8 percentage point increase in Medicaid coverage (95% CI: 0.020–0.176), a 4.4 percentage point increase in having any institutional outpatient spending (95% CI: 0.005–0.083), and a positive but statistically insignificant 2.4 percentage point change in Part B enrollment (95% CI: −0.003 to 0.050, p = 0.079).ConclusionsACA Medicaid expansion was associated with more institutional outpatient spending among older low‐income Medicare beneficiaries. Increased care costs should be weighed against potential benefits from increased realized access to care.

Published: April 2023

SummaryVirtual reality is a form of high‐fidelity simulation that may be used to enhance the quality of medical education. We created a bespoke virtual reality trainer software using high resolution motion capture and ultrasound imagery to teach cognitive‐motor needling skills necessary for the performance of ultrasound‐guided regional anaesthesia. The primary objective of this study was to determine the construct validity between novice and experienced regional anaesthetists. Secondary objectives were: to create learning curves for needling performance; compare the virtual environment immersion with other high‐fidelity virtual reality software; and compare cognitive task loads imposed by the virtual trainer compared with real‐life medical procedures. We recruited 21 novice and 15 experienced participants, each of whom performed 40 needling attempts on four different virtual nerve targets. Performance scores for each attempt were calculated based on measured metrics (needle angulation, withdrawals, time taken) and compared between the groups. The degree of virtual reality immersion was measured using the Presence Questionnaire, and cognitive burden was measured using the NASA‐Task Load Index. Scores by experienced participants were significantly higher than novices (p = 0.002) and for each nerve target (84% vs. 77%, p = 0.002; 86% vs. 79%, p = 0.003; 87% vs. 81%, p = 0.002; 87% vs. 80%, p = 0.003). Log–log transformed learning curves demonstrated individual variability in performance over time. The virtual reality trainer was rated as being comparably immersive to other high‐fidelity virtual reality software in the realism, possibility to act and quality of interface subscales (all p > 0.06) but not in the possibility to examine and self‐performance subscales (all p < 0.009). The virtual reality trainer created workloads similar to those reported in real‐life procedural medicine (p = 0.53). This study achieved initial validation of our new virtual reality trainer and allows progression to a planned definitive trial that will compare the effectiveness of virtual reality training on real‐life regional anaesthesia performance.
Functional role of coupling the endothelial TRPV4 and KCa3.1 channels in regulating coronary vascular tone
Authors: Mao Aiqin , He Dongxu , Zhang Ka , Gao Mengru , Kan Hao , Wang Zhiwei , Tang Chunlei , Ma Xin 
Published: April 2023

Background and PurposeHigh‐fat diet (HFD) induces dysregulated pathways in coronary artery endothelial cells (CAECs), which leads to altered regulation of vascular tone, tissue perfusion and increases the risk of coronary artery diseases. Ca2+‐activated K+ (KCa) channels are known to be associated with transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which are important for regulating endothelial function. But how TRPV4 channels interacts with KCa channels in regulating coronary vascular tone in HFD mice requires further exploration.Experimental ApproachTRPV4 channel activity was assessed by fluorescent Ca2+ imaging. Interactions between TRPV4 and KCa3.1 channels were verified by co‐immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), and their binding site was found by site‐directed mutagenesis. Endothelium‐specific TRPV4 knockout (TRPV4EC−/−) mice were used to study the effect of the interactions between TRPV4‐KCa3.1 channels on coronary vascular tone. Coronary blood flow was measured by Doppler ultrasound device.Key ResultsTRPV4 channels were involved in regulating coronary vascular tone, through coupling with a Ca2+‐sensitive K+ channel (KCa3.1) in CAECs, affecting vasodilation and coronary blood flow. In mice fed a HFD diet, the coupling was damaged by a high concentration of plasma 1‐heptadecanoyl‐2‐hydroxy‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine. Using a bridging approach, we then identified folic acid as an effective drug to repair the uncoupled TRPV4‐KCa3.1 channels and to improve coronary arterial function.Conclusion and ImplicationsOur data highlight the importance of coupling between TRPV4 and KCa3.1 channels in the regulation of coronary vascular tone and provide a novel strategy for developing new drugs to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.

Published: April 2023

AbstractBackground and PurposeThe illicit use of fentanyl‐like drugs (fentanyls), which are μ opioid receptor agonists, and the many overdose deaths that result, has become a major problem. Fentanyls are very potent in vivo, leading to respiratory depression and death. However, the efficacy and possible signalling bias of different fentanyls is not clearly known. Here, we compared the relative efficacy and bias of a series of fentanyls.Experimental ApproachFor agonist signalling bias and efficacy measurements, Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer experiments were undertaken in HEK293T cells transiently transfected with μ opioid receptors, to assess Gi protein activation and β‐arrestin 2 recruitment. Agonist‐induced cell surface receptor loss was assessed using an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, whilst agonist‐induced G protein‐coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channel current activation was measured electrophysiologically from rat locus coeruleus slices. Ligand poses in the μ opioid receptor were determined in silico using molecular dynamics simulations.Key ResultsRelative to the reference ligand DAMGO, carfentanil was β‐arrestin‐biased, whereas fentanyl, sufentanil and alfentanil did not display bias. Carfentanil induced potent and extensive cell surface receptor loss, whilst the marked desensitisation of G protein‐coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channel currents in the continued presence of carfentanil in neurones was prevented by a GRK2/3 inhibitor. Molecular dynamics simulations suggested unique interactions of carfentanil with the orthosteric site of the receptor that could underlie the bias.Conclusions and ImplicationsCarfentanil is a β‐arrestin‐biased opioid drug at the μ receptor. It is uncertain how such bias influences in vivo effects of carfentanil relative to other fentanyls.
Virtual special issue: Social‐ecological systems research in tropical ecosystems
Authors: Merz Leandra 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBiodiversity is declining globally, primarily due to anthropogenic threats. Therefore, effective conservation efforts must integrate human and environmental components. Social‐ecological systems research is increasingly being adopted as a means of studying complex relationships between people and the environment. I assess how researchers are employing social‐ecological systems approaches or frameworks to the study of tropical ecosystems. I reviewed articles published in Biotropica from 2010 through 2022 searching for research on social‐ecological systems. A broad keyword search revealed only 2 articles using a variation of social‐ecological systems, human‐environment systems, or coupled human and natural systems. This contrasts with a growing number of articles published with these search terms in other conservation‐related journals, primarily led by environmental scientists. After reviewing titles for all 1298 research articles published during this period, I selected 12 articles for inclusion in the virtual special issue “Social‐Ecological Systems Research in Topical Ecosystems”. These articles cover a broad range of geographical locations, ecosystem types, species, and conservation themes. Social‐ecological systems frameworks offer an integrated way to study complex relationships between humans and nature, yet this type of research appears under‐utilized by authors in Biotropica. I offer seven guidelines for authors interested in pursuing this research such as developing collaborations between social and environmental scientists.

Published: April 2023

AbstractBackgroundLoneliness and depression are common emotional problems among left‐behind children, and these emotional problems may have a high correlation with attachment relationships.AimsThis study aimed to investigate the effects of parent–child attachment on left‐behind children's loneliness and depression and the mediating roles of peer attachment and teacher–student relationship and their gender differences.MethodsUsing two waves of data, 614 left‐behind children participated in the longitudinal study by completing a series of relevant questionnaire two times (spaced 6 months).ResultsThe results showed that (1) both father–child attachment and mother–child attachment could negatively predict the loneliness and depression of left‐behind children. Further, mother–child attachment has a greater predictive effect on loneliness. (2) Peer attachment played a mediating role in parent–child attachment and left‐behind children's loneliness; teacher–student relationship played a mediating role in parent–child attachment and left‐behind children's loneliness and depression. (3) The scores of girls were higher than those of boys in the four types of attachment relationships; the mediating role of teacher–student relationship between parent–child attachment and depression was significant only among boys.ConclusionsThis study explored the factors that may have impacts on left‐behind children's loneliness and depression as well as its potential mechanism and their gender differences based on the perspective of multiple‐attachment theory. These results emphasize the important role of close parent–child attachment in reducing loneliness and depression among left‐behind children, as well as the necessary mediating role of peer attachment and teacher–student relationships. These findings provide some valuable recommendations for preventing left‐behind children's loneliness and depression.
