Something new, something sustainable! How network relationships shape sustainable new venture development
Authors: Runfola Andrea , Monteverde Giulia 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate which network relationships foster the early development of a sustainable new venture (SNV) and how sustainability as the core characteristic of the new venture shapes those network relationships.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper relies on a qualitative approach. The primary data source is 25 interviews with 18 key informants of 15 Italian SNVs. The fashion industry is the empirical setting due to its negative environmental and social impacts and shifts toward sustainability during the past decade.

Findings
The paper identifies six types of network relationships that affect the development of fashion SNVs. It proposes sustainability-enhanced and sustainability-enabled network relationships and relates them to trust and legitimation in the network.

Research limitations/implications
The study enriches the theoretical debate on networks, new ventures and sustainability by dealing with the case of SNVs in a traditional sector. This paper presents managerial implications for entrepreneurs and policymakers.

Social implications
This paper contributes to the debate on society’s sustainable development by emphasizing how networks can affect the growth of SNVs.

Originality/value
This paper fills a research gap in a novel manner. The paper contributes to the recent debate on new ventures and sustainability from the market as network approach. It identifies relevant networks, their contribution and the role of sustainability. The study refers to SNVs in traditional nontechnological industries.
Open access books through open data sources: assessing prevalence, providers, and preservation
Authors: Laakso Mikael 
Published: June 2023

PurposeScience policy and practice for open access (OA) books is a rapidly evolving area in the scholarly domain. However, there is much that remains unknown, including how many OA books there are and to what degree they are included in preservation coverage. The purpose of this study is to contribute towards filling this knowledge gap in order to advance both research and practice in the domain of OA books.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilized open bibliometric data sources to aggregate a harmonized dataset of metadata records for OA books (data sources: the Directory of Open Access Books, OpenAIRE, OpenAlex, Scielo Books, The Lens, and WorldCat). This dataset was then cross-matched based on unique identifiers and book titles to openly available content listings of trusted preservation services (data sources: Cariniana Network, CLOCKSS, Global LOCKSS Network, and Portico). The web domains of the OA books were determined by querying the web addresses or digital object identifiers provided in the metadata of the bibliometric database entries.FindingsIn total, 396,995 unique records were identified from the OA book bibliometric sources, of which 19% were found to be included in at least one of the preservation services. The results suggest reason for concern for the long tail of OA books distributed at thousands of different web domains as these include volatile cloud storage or sometimes no longer contained the files at all.Research limitations/implicationsData quality issues, varying definitions of OA across services and inconsistent implementation of unique identifiers were discovered as key challenges. The study includes recommendations for publishers, libraries, data providers and preservation services for improving monitoring and practices for OA book preservation.Originality/valueThis study provides methodological and empirical findings for advancing the practices of OA book publishing, preservation and research.
Determinants of consumer's online shopping intention during COVID-19
Authors: El Moussaoui Alaa Eddine , Benbba Brahim 
Published: June 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to determine the factors that influence the consumer’s online shopping intention in the current pandemic context (COVID-19). For this purpose, a conceptual model has been developed by introducing the constructs “attitude,” “perceived utility,” “intention” as well as the variable “perceived risk of contagion.”Design/methodology/approachAfter collecting data from the questionnaire diffused in Moroccan e-commerce websites, this study used various statistical analyses with the multiple regression model on the SPSS statistical software to confirm or refute the research hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate that attitude and perceived utility positively affect online shopping intention. However, the variable “perceived risk of contagion” has a weak effect on such intention, which can be explained by the period in which the survey was started (a few months after the confinement).Originality/valueThe scientific contribution of this study lies in the insertion of a new factor that will be called “perceived risk of contagion” in the research model. This factor has been inspired by the perceived risk theory of Bauer (1960). Furthermore, all studies dealing with this topic have been carried out in developed countries, such as France, Great Britain, Germany and the USA. For this reason, the researcher believe that it is more appropriate to study the intention to buy online during the COVID-19 pandemic in one of the developing countries, such as Morocco. This is based on the fact that to develop theories, it is necessary to examine a given problem in several countries. The context plays a determining role in such situations.
Islamic rationality of Muslim consumers: new insight from text analytics and Al-Ghazali’s thought
Authors: Sholihin Muhammad 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to review 69 studies related to Muslim consumer behavior and determine the relationship between these topics and Islamic rationality. In addition, this paper elaborates on Al-Ghazali’s Islamic rationality model.

Design/methodology/approach
A text analytics approach is used to map 69 studies on Muslim consumer behavior. In addition, the historical-critical and inductive approach is used to identify Muslim scholars’ concepts and opinions regarding Islamic rationality, especially Al-Ghazali.

Findings
This study confirms that Muslim consumer behavior is in line with the concept of Islamic rationality proposed by Al-Ghazali. This is evidenced by a strong awareness of Islamic morals and values, which fosters a high commitment to halal products.

Practical implications
The findings of this study will provide essential benefits in the development of Islamic rationality theory, which can then be used as an alternative in explaining Muslim consumer behavior and also can be used as a reference for stakeholders in the industry to mainstream halalfication on products offered in the Muslim market.

Originality/value
The value of originality in this study lies in identifying the relation between Islamic rationality and Muslim consumer behavior, and this effort was confirmed through 69 selected studies related to Muslim consumer behavior.
Tata group and business response to disability (1951 to 1992) medical interventions, rehabilitation, and livelihood
Authors: Choudhury Kaul Sanjukta , Ghosh Nandini 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to trace Tata Group’s role in responding to disability in the decades immediately following India’s independence until the preliberalization period of the Indian economy, i.e. from the 1950s to the 1990s.

Design/methodology/approach
This study’s methodology entailed a historiographical approach and archival engagement at Tata Archives (Pune, India) of the company documents. Materials and records of the Tata Company between 1942 and 1992.

Findings
Adopting the corporate culture lens, the study findings show that Tata Group demonstrated an active prosocial corporate approach toward disability. In a period governed by the ideology of a state-dominated developmental approach, Tata Group’s initiatives were related to medical interventions for a wide spectrum of disabilities, rehabilitation and efforts to ensure persons with disabilities (PWDS)’ livelihood.

Originality/value
Disability, in the neoliberalized economic landscape of India, is an emergent business issue for companies espousing workplace diversity. The historical understanding of business engagement with disability from postindependence to liberalization in India remains, however, limited. In postindependence India, the passive business response to disability emerged within an ethical and discretionary framework, with charity and philanthropy as the main modes of engagement. In this background, this paper explores Tata’s response to disability and PWDs, which was distinct.
The influence of social capital on knowledge sharing: the moderated mediator of perceived supervisor support and psychological ownership
Authors: Oh Jihye , Han Seung-Hyun , Wang Jia , Yoon Seung Won 
Published: June 2023

PurposeDrawing on the theories of social capital and leader–member exchange (LMX), the authors examined the moderated mediation relationships of psychological ownership and perceived supervisory support on social capital and organizational knowledge.Design/methodology/approachTo test the proposed model, the authors collected data from 522 employees working in large corporations in South Korea.FindingsThe authors found that (a) social capital was positively related to organizational knowledge sharing, (b) perceived supervisor support mediated the linkage between social capital and knowledge sharing and (c) psychological ownership moderated the indirect effect of social capital on knowledge sharing through perceived supervisor support, such that the indirect effect was stronger for employees with low rather than high psychological ownership.Originality/valueThis study sheds new light on how the nature of relationship between the leader and followers as well as individual's psychological ownership play a crucial role in knowledge sharing.
Motivating language and employees’ need satisfaction to service quality: conservation of resources and speech act theories
Authors: Rabiul Md Karim , Hasan Md. Kamrul , Miraz Mahadi Hasan , Karim Rashed Al 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
Drawing on conservation of resources (CoR) and speech act theories, the authors tested the relationship between managers’ motivating language (ML) and employee service quality and psychological relatedness and competence as mediating variables between their associations.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a convenient sampling technique, the authors collected 366 hotel employees’ opinions in Malaysia and analysed them in partial least squares-structural equation modelling.

Findings
Three forms of ML, psychological competence and relatedness correlate with employees’ service quality. Although direction-giving language is correlated with competence, empathetic and meaning-making language are not; thus, competence only mediates the relationship between direction-giving language and service quality. Three types (direction-giving, empathetic and meaning-making) of managers’ communication are correlated with relatedness; thus, relatedness mediates the association between the three types of language and service quality.

Practical implications
Hospitality managers are encouraged to enhance psychological relatedness and competence by practising an appropriate ML. Psychological relatedness and competence are significant mechanisms that enlighten the effects of supervisory communicant on service quality, indicating employees’ need satisfaction should be improved.

Originality/value
Our study contributes to speech act and CoR theories by explaining the relationship between ML, psychological relatedness, competence and service quality.
Behaviors scale towards sustainable nutrition: development and validity-reliability analysis
Authors: Garipoglu Gokcen , Meral Koc Bilge , Ozlu Tugce 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
The evaluation of sustainable eating behaviors of individuals who constitute the society is important in the interpretation of both health-related and environmental effects. Therefore, this study aims to develop a valid and reliable scale to assess the sustainable food consumption behaviors of adults living in Turkey.

Design/methodology/approach
The validity of the scale was evaluated by using the factor analysis, correlation analysis and comparison of the lower and upper 27% groups with the t-test technique. Cronbach’s alpha (CA), split-half, parallel and strict criteria were used to determine the internal consistency of the scale, and the Pearson correlation analysis was conducted for the test and retest. The explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to test construct validity.

Findings
The total variance rate explained by all the factors was 77.03%. CA value of the scale was 0.92, and the test–retest reliability coefficient was 0.96. The difference between the lower and upper 27% group means was significant at the p < 0.05 level. The factor structure of the scale was confirmed by the results of the confirmatory factor analysis.

Originality/value
There are scales in the international literature that have been validated to evaluate various aspects of behaviors related to sustainable food consumption (Tobler et al., 2011; Verain et al., 2015). However, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are no validity and reliability studies of a scale developed in Turkey on sustainable food consumption of adults.
Publication and use of genetic tools in conservation management applications—A systematic review
Authors: Tkach Kevin , Watson Maggie J. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Genetics tools are used in applied conservation management for taxonomic identification, delineation of management units, management of wild populations, captive breeding and reintroduction and control of invasive species, disease and hybridisation.

To assess the extent to which genetic tools are being used for applied conservation management, we conducted a systematic literature review of over 53,767 papers focussing on wildlife research that reported results on species delineation, translocations and population augmentation. We synthesised information on papers that used genetics tools in an expressly applied manner across all wildlife species.

We found that the application of genetics tools in conservation management was biased towards fishes, mammals and birds and northern hemisphere locations, especially the United States and Europe.

Despite genetics tools being a highly published topic, it was difficult to find published applications of these tools in both the primary and the grey literature. Of the 115 papers on 152 species that could be considered an applied use of a genetics tool expressly for conservation management, only 49 had definable applied outcomes. The remaining 66 made recommendations, but it was often unclear if the recommendations were ever used to make conservation management decisions because of the time‐lag between publication of the initial recommendation and publication of the results of the use of the tool in a conservation management situation, as well as the lack of dissemination in the primary literature.

Our study highlights the relative low publication rate of applications of genetics tools compared to the general conservation genetics field. These tools appear to have either a low percentage of translations into publication (‘conservation genetics publishing gap’) or a poor uptake among wildlife conservation managers (‘conservation genetics gap’)—the two are indistinguishable in this review.

Policy implications. Conservation genetics tools must be brought to the forefront of conservation policy and management. Users should support the use of systems and accessible databases to increase the uptake of genetics tools for conservation in applied management decisions for wildlife, reducing barriers to disseminating the results to other end users and interested parties.
Linking agricultural diversification practices, soil arthropod communities and soil health
Authors: Elmquist Dane C. , Kahl Kendall B. , Johnson‐Maynard Jodi L. , Eigenbrode Sanford D. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Soil arthropods comprise a substantial portion of soil biodiversity and regulate processes in the soil ecosystem. Despite this, cropping system diversification designed to improve soil health for agriculture is rarely evaluated for its effects on soil arthropod biodiversity and community structure. As a result, soil arthropods are not usually considered in management decisions.

To address this gap, we evaluated the effects of agricultural diversification through rotation on soil arthropods and soil properties using replicated large‐plot field studies representing two climatically distinct agroecological classes (AECs) in the dryland cereal‐growing region of the inland Pacific Northwest, USA. We investigated how different 3‐year annual crop rotations affected soil arthropod biodiversity and community structure. Treatments reflected ‘business‐as‐usual’ rotations in dryland systems and diversified rotations achieved by incorporating novel winter pea (WP) or forage crops (FORs). We also assessed relationships between the Soil Biological Quality index (QBS‐ar), which uses soil arthropods as bioindicators of soil health, and other biological and physiochemical soil health indicators.

We collected 710 community samples with 82,509 arthropod specimens across 66 taxa. Novel crops in diversified rotations promoted soil arthropod abundance and biodiversity relative to crops they could replace in rotation. Crop type determined community composition. Most taxa driving differences in community structure were predators and detritivores associated with WP and FORs. In addition to effects on soil arthropods associated with specific crops, effects were also detected across rotations. Incorporating WP into rotations improved QBS‐ar across entire rotations, not just in the WP phases, in both AECs. Links between QBS‐ar and other soil health indicators were complex and varied by AEC.

Synthesis and applications: Soil arthropods respond to agricultural diversification and can be used as bioindicators to assess the effects of diversification on soil health. Below‐ground arthropod communities are structured by crop type, suggesting that planting specific crops may promote soil arthropods and their services. We showed that incorporating winter pea and forage crops into dryland cereal rotations supported soil arthropod biodiversity and soil health. Results indicate that soil arthropod assessments can be included in the soil health framework to guide agricultural management decisions.

AbstractMidichloria spp. are intracellular bacterial symbionts of ticks. Representatives of this genus colonise mitochondria in the cells of their hosts. To shed light on this unique interaction we evaluated the presence of an intramitochondrial localization for three Midichloria in the respective tick host species and generated eight high‐quality draft genomes and one closed genome, showing that this trait is non‐monophyletic, either due to losses or multiple acquisitions. Comparative genomics supports the first hypothesis, as the genomes of non‐mitochondrial symbionts are reduced subsets of those capable of colonising the organelles. We detect genomic signatures of mitochondrial tropism, including the differential presence of type IV secretion system and flagellum, which could allow the secretion of unique effectors and/or direct interaction with mitochondria. Other genes, including adhesion molecules, proteins involved in actin polymerisation, cell wall and outer membrane proteins, are only present in mitochondrial symbionts. The bacteria could use these to manipulate host structures, including mitochondrial membranes, to fuse with the organelles or manipulate the mitochondrial network.
Are there financial stability gains from international macroprudential policy coordination?
Authors: Liu Xiaoyu , Zhang Xiao 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe construct a core‐periphery theoretical model based on the cross‐border spillover effects of macroprudential policies, to calculate the financial stability gains from macroprudential policy coordination between the two countries. Numerical simulation results show that the gains from coordination between the core and the periphery are zero when facing reverse monetary policy shocks, when macroprudential policy coordination is not needed; however, in the case of high simultaneous loosening (tightening) of monetary policies in both countries, the macroprudential policy coordination mechanism can reduce the negative externalities of cross‐border financial spillovers and increase the total gains from financial stability; the total gains from macroprudential policy coordination increase as the peripheral macroprudential policy operating space decreases, the degree of cross‐border financial spillovers increases, and the degree of cross‐border spillovers from core monetary policy increases. Therefore, the international coordination of macroprudential policies has certain possibilities and necessities.
Exploring the occupational experiences of livestock farmers during drought: A narrative inquiry
Authors: Healing Kirsty , Lowrie Daniel 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIntroductionFor much of the 21st century, Australia has endured the most prolonged and severe drought since records began. This drought has been found to have negative and long‐lasting consequences upon both the physical and mental well‐being of farmers and their families. To date, however, no research has examined the experience of drought from an occupational perspective.ObjectiveThis study aims to explore the way in which drought impacts upon the lived experience of the farming role and the way in which the occupational identity of farmers influences the meanings attributed, and response to, drought.MethodsNarrative inquiry and thematic analysis were used to explore the experiences of drought among six farming men and four farming women from Northern Queensland.FindingsFour inter‐related themes were identified. These being: ‘Becoming a farmer – Rites of passage on entry to the farming role’; ‘Farmers as guardians over the land’; ‘Drought as siege’ and; ‘Leisure occupations as temporary bridges to a world beyond drought’. Each of these themes offer insights into the way in which drought comes to be understood by farmers and, in turn, experienced and responded to.ConclusionBy better understanding the occupational experiences of farmers during drought, resources can be more effectively targeted towards promoting occupational balance and well‐being. Interventions aimed at reframing the way in which the farming role is conceptualised from a young age and supporting occupations beyond farming as bridges to the outside world may be effective in achieving positive outcomes during drought.
