Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this research is to analyse the development and implementation of waste-to-energy (WtE) power plants as a strategy to manage municipal solid waste (MSW) in Indonesia. It aims to identify key determinants for the successful adoption of WtE technology in developing countries, focusing on the Benowo WtE power plant, Indonesia’s first large-scale WtE project.

Design/methodology/approach
This study reviews the development of the Benowo WtE power plant, examining political, regulatory and financial factors influencing its implementation. It analyses the roles of national and local government institutions, highlighting critical elements for the successful deployment of WtE projects in a developing country context.

Findings
The review shows that the success of WtE projects in Indonesia is significantly influenced by strong local government commitment, supported by political, financial and regulatory backing from the national government. The Benowo WtE power plant’s development demonstrates that with adequate support, WtE can be a viable solution for managing MSW and generating energy in developing countries. The study also identifies barriers to broader WtE adoption in similar contexts.

Research limitations/implications
The study is limited to 12 WtE projects in Indonesia, with in-depth analysis focused on a single case, potentially overlooking challenges and opportunities in other regions. Furthermore, the study does not include an economic analysis, such as a feasibility assessment. Future research could expand to multiple WtE projects and incorporate primary data collection to provide more comprehensive findings, including feasibility studies of each project.

Practical implications
The findings provide practical guidance for policymakers and stakeholders in developing countries, identifying critical areas for successful WtE deployment and offering a blueprint based on the Benowo WtE power plant.

Social implications
Implementing WtE projects can improve waste management, reduce pollution, enhance public health, create jobs and stimulate local economies. The study underscores the importance of government and community collaboration in addressing environmental challenges and fostering shared responsibility.

Originality/value
This research offers novel insights into WtE technology development in a developing country, specifically focusing on Indonesia’s first large-scale WtE power plant. By analysing the Benowo WtE power plant, the study provides valuable lessons and strategies for other developing nations aiming to adopt WtE solutions for MSW management, emphasising the critical role of government support.
From side effects to work attitudes influencing customer service quality: moderating impacts of work experience in banking industry
Authors: Kim Long , Yeo Sook Fern 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
To help banks maintain competitive advantages, bank workers must develop superior financial products and services that meet customers’ needs and expectations, and developing customer service quality also merits closer attention. Research emphasizes that developing customer service quality has direct associations with not only individual career growth and development but also customer satisfaction, loyalty, retention. Thus, this research aims to explore how bank workers develop their customer service quality by investigating side effects (stress and satisfaction) on work attitudes (organizational commitment and employee performance) along with work experience acting as moderators (1) between organizational commitment and customer service quality and (2) between employee performance and customer service quality.

Design/methodology/approach
Researchers collected data from 650 Cambodian bank workers via a survey questionnaire. A path analysis technique was used to analyze the data.

Findings
Results revealed that bank commitment was significantly influenced by stress and satisfaction. Next, employee performance was significantly influenced by bank commitment, stress and satisfaction. Meanwhile, customer service quality was significantly influenced by bank commitment and employee performance. Finally, work experience moderated both relationships (1) between bank commitment and customer service quality and (2) between employee performance and customer service quality.

Originality/value
Although significant side effects of stress and satisfaction on worker behavior in various industries, not my researchers have investigated how side effects of stress and satisfaction influence work attitudes (commitment and performance) which develop customer service quality in banking industry, along with work experience as a moderator.
Psychometric stress risk assessments: proceed with caution
Authors: Hudson John , Weinberg Ashley 
Published: January 2025

PurposeDespite extensive psychometric research on psychosocial assessment tools, comparatively little explores the practical application and evaluation of these tools for prioritising workplace psychosocial risks. This paper addresses this gap by illustrating the use of one popular, freely available measure in an applied risk assessment context, alongside qualitative data, highlighting questions and challenges for organisations.Design/methodology/approach1,425 employees from a UK public-sector organisation completed the Management Standards Indicator Tool (MSIT), General Health Questionnaire, and open-text questions about stress-related and positive aspects of work. Three approaches to analysing MSIT data were adopted: descriptive statistics, multiple regression and risk calculation, complemented by analysis of open-text qualitative data.FindingsDemands and change were ranked prominently by each method; however, there were major inconsistencies, for example, relationships ranked first using one method but sixth by another. Qualitative comments broadly reflected quantitative analyses, with demands mentioned most frequently, but highlighted issues and nuances not covered by the MSIT.Research limitations/implicationsOnly a selection of potential approaches to analysis is considered here, future research to support employers with analysis and evaluation of quantitative risk assessment data would be valuable.Practical implicationsRisk-assessors’ choice of analysis could have major implications for where employers direct resources, supporting existing guidance to avoid sole reliance on quantitative surveys for risk assessment.Originality/valueThis paper builds on the necessary–but not sufficient–psychometric foundations of risk assessment tools, integrating qualitative data and illustrating questions and challenges in applying them for their stated purpose.
Rethinking the inherent jurisdiction of the high court in safeguarding adult reviews: beyond legal literacy
Authors: Mason Karl , Bedford Daniel , Leyman Alice , Bremner Philip 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
The Inherent Jurisdiction of the High Court (the IJ) is used in safeguarding adults work to protect “vulnerable adults” whose autonomy is compromised but who have mental capacity as defined by the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Safeguarding Adult Reviews (SARs) frequently call on practitioners to develop legal literacy, including regarding the IJ. This study aims to explore and discuss how the IJ is presented in SARs and argues that there are systemic problems beyond legal literacy to consider in this area.

Design/methodology/approach
Relevant SARs (n = 29) were located through the National Network of Safeguarding Adult Board Chair’s library. These were thematically analysed to identify patterns regarding how the IJ is covered in these documents.

Findings
The reviews converged around specific experiential clusters (familial and domestic abuse, community-based exploitation and self-neglect). They entailed accounts of complex mental capacity issues and raised concerns about legal literacy. It was common to find situations where many other avenues for intervention had been exhausted and the IJ was proposed as a measure of last resort. The discussion of the IJ in SARs occasionally differs from prevailing legal accounts of its application, particularly regarding self-neglect and situations where a third party is not exerting coercion or control. The authors close the study with a discussion about legal literacy.

Originality/value
The IJ is an evolving area of law, and practitioners may therefore struggle to grasp its applicability. SARs are important resources for practitioners to learn lessons concerning this less commonly used legal mechanism. As a result, independent reviewers should be cautious about how they frame this legal remedy and consider whether this really is a case of “legal literacy”.

Authors: Zia Muhammad Qamar , Saraih Ummi Naiemah , Ramish Muhammad Sufyan , Faisal Asima , Naveed Muhammad 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThe objective of this research is to investigate how ethical leadership (EL) directly or indirectly impacts adaptive performance (AP) within the hospitality industry, focusing on the mediation of trust in leaders (TiL) and job crafting (JC).Design/methodology/approachData were gathered from 328 employees and 66 leaders across 28 hotels in central and northern areas of Pakistan using a time-lagged methodology. Structural equation modeling was applied for data analysis using SPSS and AMOS.FindingsFindings present a strong connection between EL and AP, with both TiL and JC serving as independent and sequential mediators. The study also revealed that EL is directly linked to TiL and JC.Practical implicationsFindings suggest that hospitality firms should foster a culture of EL by focusing on hiring and employees’ development programs, enhancing their dynamic capabilities to adapt to the changes.Originality/valueBy examining the AP of frontline employees, this study identifies new outcomes of EL within the hospitality context. Furthermore, it also contributes to the literature by exploring the novel impact of EL on AP through TiL and JC.
Biophilia in servicescapes – review, reconciliation and reflections
Authors: Vinitha V. U. , Kumar Deepak S. , Krishnan Hemamala 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Increased urbanization has resulted in physical environments, including servicescapes, dominated by functional designs, with nature’s presence becoming scarcer. While “biophilia” designs have received attention in fields like environmental psychology and architecture, studies on biophilia in servicescapes remain scant, fragmented and often contextual. The purpose of this study is to do a semi-systematic review of studies on biophilia in physical servicescape designs (interior and exterior), identify prevailing critical gaps and develop a comprehensive framework for theory advancements in biophilic servicescapes.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing from a critical review of 56 servicescape studies over 33 years and incorporating theoretical frameworks from environmental psychology, this paper introduces a typology of biophilia in physical servicescapes that includes direct, indirect and human–nature relationships. Furthermore, this study develops a conceptual framework using the Stimulus-Organism-Response model to systematically synthesize biophilia’s overall applicability in servicescapes for consumers and service employees, incorporating moderating factors related to service, servicescape and user types.

Findings
This review investigates the emergence and definition of biophilia in servicescapes, examines the benefits of biophilic design for consumers and service employees and highlights key design strategies. In the absence of robust frameworks to assess biophilia’s impact on consumer and employee responses, this paper presents a comprehensive framework and offers guidelines for future research in retail environments and servicescapes.

Originality/value
Drawing from the synthesis of research on biophilia in servicescapes, this study introduces a framework that demonstrates how antecedent variables, including both direct and indirect biophilic elements, foster human–nature relationships that lead to affective, cognitive and behavioral responses. These effects are moderated by situational factors (e.g. service and servicescape types) and individual differences (e.g. personality, values and nature-relatedness). Ultimately, these responses influence approach or avoidance behaviors in consumers and employees, with a taxonomy detailing responses aligned with biophilia.

Authors: Cavaliere Pasquale , Sadeghi Behzad , Chen Zhenghan , Stanislawska Alicja 
Published: January 2025

PurposeBased on previous research, we choose nickel alloy 718 as the research material and use finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the hydrogen diffusion in lattice, grain, boundary grain and dislocation in different thermal loads, aiming to understand the intricate mechanisms underlying hydrogen diffusion in nickel-based alloys, which will contribute to driving progress in the field of hydrogen diffusion for understanding and management HE.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, we focus on nickel alloy 718, creating a numerical model with traps to simulate the hydrogen diffusion in lattice, grain, boundary grain and dislocation with different thermal loads, by FEA.FindingsThe results demonstrated that traps improve the hydrogen saturation in materials, and because of thermal saturation and heat flux, higher temperatures decrease the hydrogen solubility and increase hydrogen diffusion velocity, which can decrease hydrogen saturation.Originality/valueBased on our previous research and publications, we developed a finite element model to define the hydrogen trapping in different microstructural features of nickel-based superalloys. The model is very complex with a very large number of elements capable of obtaining very affordable results.
Greening or greenwashing? Corporate green bonds and stock pricing efficiency in China
Authors: Huang Xiulu , Tang Chuxiong , Liu Yichao , Ge Pengfei 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
This paper aims to unveil the greenwashing intention of green bonds issuing in Chinese enterprises through the lens of stock pricing efficiency.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on data of Chinese listed companies during 2012–2021, this study uses a difference-in-differences method to study how and through what mechanisms issuing green bonds impacts stock pricing efficiency.

Findings
Issuing green bonds lowers stock pricing efficiency, verifying the greenwashing intention of green bonds in China. Potential mechanisms underlie the increased investor attention and sentiment resulting from the information disclosures about corporate green and low-carbon development. This greenwashing issue is more pronounced in firms facing lower financing constraints, having stronger relations with the government, and located in highly marketized regions. In the context of uncertainty surrounding economic policies, especially trade policies, issuing green bonds can signal a weakening of the greenwashing effect.

Practical implications
The quality of information disclosure should be emphasized to ensure a substantive commitment to environmental responsibility signaled by green bond issuance, thereby mitigating greenwashing concerns.

Social implications
Regulators and standard-setters should improve the issuance system for green bonds and promote the sustainable development of the green bond market through formulating unified certification criteria for green bonds and implementing a stringently periodic reporting system.

Originality/value
First, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first study to draw on the quality of information disclosure and the perspective of stock pricing efficiency to identify whether firms issuing green bonds engage in greenwashing. Second, the study uncovers the black-box underlying this greenwashing issue through investor attention and sentiment and examines further the moderating role of economic policy uncertainties.
Why, where and what to study? Exploring the university choices of Italian and Spanish graduates with disabilities
Authors: Biagiotti Gilda , Moriña Anabel 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis article analyses the decisions and motivations that led 30 graduates with disabilities from Italy and Spain to pursue university studies, choose their degrees, and select their universities. Using a phenomenological approach, through semi‐structured interviews and inductive data analysis, several reasons for graduates' university access were identified, such as vocation, the search for job opportunities and the desire to pursue an academic education. The results showed that both personal factors (disability or personal interest) and external factors (family, partners, friends and teachers) played a role in their choice of studies. Regarding university selection, participants considered proximity to their homes, the services offered, and the possibility of having an experience outside of their hometown. This article highlights the relevance of previous educational experiences, collaboration between secondary education institutions and universities, and the importance of providing information about the support and services available for students with disabilities during their university careers.
The UK General Election in Scotland: The End of an Era, Age of Ultra‐Competition or Interregnum?
Authors: Hassan Gerry 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe Scottish election results from the 2024 Westminster election were yet another contest defined by major change in constituencies, individuals and party performance. After a long period of dominance by Labour in Scotland, the aftermath of the 2014 independence referendum witnessed substantial change and volatility at each of the subsequent four UK elections. While Labour's re‐emergence as Scotland's dominant party at Westminster in 2024 and the political geographies underpinning it echo patterns pre‐2014, the dynamics of Scottish politics are still shaped for the foreseeable future by competition between Labour and the SNP, anti‐incumbency and the question of Scottish independence.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo assess the cost‐effectiveness of modifying current antenatal screening by adding first trimester structural anomaly screening to standard of care second trimester anomaly screening.DesignHealth economic decision model.SettingNational Health Service (NHS) in England and Wales.PopulationPregnant women attending for first trimester antenatal screening.MethodsThe decision model estimated pregnancy outcomes (maternal and foetal) and 20‐year costs for current screening practice and for a policy adding a protocol screening for eight major structural anomalies to the current first trimester ultrasound scan. Event probabilities, costs, and outcomes for the model were informed by meta‐analyses, published literature, and expert opinion.Main Outcomes MeasuresExpected numbers of pregnancy outcomes, healthcare costs, and maternal quality‐adjusted life years (QALYs). Estimation of the incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio (ICER), likelihood of cost‐effectiveness, and a value of information (VoI) analysis assessing if further research is needed before making a decision about screening.ResultsFirst trimester anomaly screening increased mean per woman costs by £11 (95% CI £1–£29) and maternal QALYs by 0.002065 (95% CI 0.00056–0.00358). The ICER was £5270 per QALY and the probability of cost‐effectiveness at a willingness to pay value for a QALY of £20 000, exceeded 95%. VoI analysis showed further research would be unlikely to represent value for money. The protocol would likely lead to a reduction in infant healthcare costs and QALYs.ConclusionsA protocol to screen for eight major structural anomalies during the first trimester appears to represent value for money for the NHS. The opposing implications for mothers and infants, however, raise complex, challenging, and sensitive issues.
Clinical Features and Risks of Congenital Melanocytic Naevi: A Retrospective Analysis of Patients at the Queensland Children's Hospital

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackground/ObjectivesCongenital melanocytic naevi (CMN) are a risk factor for melanoma. Melanoma risk is dependent on the congenital phenotype. Our primary aims were to assess the clinical characteristics of CMN that indicate a high risk of neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) and melanoma in an Australian paediatric population group; to identify patient characteristics and clinical features of CMN that trigger further investigations; and to determine the rate of malignancy and other complications for CMN.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the electronic medical records of all patients under 18 years who were diagnosed with CMN at the Queensland Children's Hospital between 2014 and 2021.ResultsEighty‐eight patients (38 males and 50 females) were included in the analysis. Eighteen patients (20%) had a biopsy to rule out malignancy. Central nervous system magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 16 patients (18%). Five patients (5.7%) experienced complications, of which three had NCM and two had transient neurological symptoms with normal MRI. No cases of melanoma, non‐melanoma tumours or deaths were recorded.ConclusionsCMN size, location over the posterior midline axis and multiple numbers of CMN were found to be significantly associated with the development of complications. CMN size, CMN site, presence of satellite naevi and location over the posterior midline axis were all significantly associated with the likelihood of an MRI or biopsy being performed. Large‐scale studies, such as a population‐based registry, are recommended to accurately assess the true lifetime risk of complications and associated risk factors.
