Profit over principles: unveiling the motivating factors behind dark patterns in e-commerce through the lens of agency theory
Authors: Singh Vibhav , Vishvakarma Niraj Kumar , Kumar Vinod 
Published: February 2025

PurposeE-commerce companies use manipulative user interface (UI) designs known as dark patterns to influence customer decisions over internet platforms. Although dark patterns are known to annoy users and erode customer trust, e-commerce companies continue to use them heavily. Therefore, this study identifies and ranks the factors that motivate e-commerce companies to use dark patterns.Design/methodology/approachFeedback from 17 industry experts was collected, and a novel causal modelling technique known as the Grey Influence Analysis (GINA) was applied to discover the most important motivating factors in the system.FindingsMeeting long-term economic goals, leveraging data from the existing users and meeting short-term marketing goals emerged as the most crucial reasons behind dark pattern usage. These motivational factors indicate that e-commerce companies prioritize profits over sustainability and are coherent with the agency theory of corporate governance.Research limitations/implicationsThe motivating factors have been identified considering the overall e-commerce industry. The factors may vary for specialized e-commerce sectors.Practical implicationsThe study’s findings could help e-commerce managers adopt a user-centric approach and encourage them to fulfil their motivations behind dark patterns via other ethical strategies. Furthermore, company shareholders and managers could resolve conflicts of interest to avoid dark patterns and adopt a customer-centric approach. The study would also spark discussions on digital ethics and prompt legal authorities to devise policies against dark patterns.Originality/valueThe study demonstrates a systematic methodology for utilizing GINA in various domains. Additionally, it advances the literature on dark patterns and online customer manipulation.

Authors: Yıldız Tayfun , Balkan Akan Betül , Sığrı Ünsal , Dabić Marina 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Tacit and explicit knowledge sharing play crucial roles in today’s rapidly changing business environment, particularly in fostering innovation. However, uncovering tacit knowledge sharing remains complex. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mediating roles of tacit and explicit knowledge in the relationship between a knowledge-sharing culture and organizational creativity.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the authors developed an extended analytical process to analyze the impact of explicit and tacit knowledge on a knowledge-sharing culture and organizational creativity. This process combines two analytical techniques: necessary condition analysis (NCA) and partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). NCA identifies essential bottlenecks for a specific outcome, while PLS-SEM uncovers strong connections between predictor and outcome variables. The authors applied these analyses to a sample of 155 IT experts from a leading telecom company in the Turkish ICT industry to test the relevant hypotheses.

Findings
The findings of this study indicate that tacit knowledge, rather than explicit knowledge, partially mediates the relationship between a knowledge-sharing culture and organizational creativity. This mediating role of tacit knowledge is particularly pronounced in the ICT sector. Additionally, the impact of organizational capabilities on organizational creativity is amplified by higher levels of tacit knowledge sharing.

Originality/value
The effect of organizational capabilities on organizational creativity was found to increase because of tacit knowledge sharing compared to explicit knowledge sharing, depending on the knowledge-sharing climate.
A visionary future for sustainability: exploring how and when green visionary leadership promotes employee green innovation
Authors: Qian Zhichao , Zong Wen , Li Xiaoyu , Wen Xiaoyi 
Published: February 2025

PurposeDrawing on self-determination theory (SDT), this study conceptualizes and empirically examines how and when green visionary leadership (GVL) stimulates employees’ green innovation (GI) in the workplace.Design/methodology/approachWe collected 237 supervisor-employee matched multi-wave data from multiple organizations in China. The data were tested and analyzed using path analyses.FindingsA significant relationship was found between GVL and GI, which was mediated by employees’ green passion (GP). Additionally, green value orientation (GVO) moderated both the direct relationship between GVL and GP and the indirect effect of GVL on employee GI via GP. Employees with stronger GVO were more likely to translate GVL into higher GI through increased GP.Practical implicationsOrganizations should strengthen employees’ belief in green development, prioritize the recruitment, selection and training of leaders with GVL qualities, and foster a GVO among employees. This can enhance employees’ GP and ultimately drive GI within the organization.Originality/valueThis study develops an integrative model of GVL as central for organizational sustainability, focusing on GI. We apply SDT and identify GP as a mediator between GVL and GI, thus contributing to the understanding of psychological processes in GVL effectiveness. We also explore GVO as a boundary condition, providing insights into when GVL promotes GI. This advances research on leadership and green management literatures.
Uncovering the influence of commitment to low-carbon operations management on manufacturing carbon performance
Authors: Long Yunguang , Feng Taiwen 
Published: February 2025

PurposeBased on social exchange and resource dependence theories, this research investigates how manufacturing firms’ commitment to low-carbon operations management (CLCOM) prompts manufacturing carbon performance (MCP) through low-carbon supply chain collaboration (SCC), as well as the moderating role of supply chain risk management (SCRM).Design/methodology/approachThis study verifies the hypotheses employing hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrapping methods through an online survey of 297 Chinese manufacturers.FindingsThe results demonstrate that manufacturers’ low-carbon SCC mediates the influence of affective and continuance CLCOM on MCP. SCRM dampens the link between affective CLCOM and low-carbon SCC. Further, SCRM heightens the relationship of continuance CLCOM–low-carbon collaboration with suppliers, but does not enhance the level of continuance CLCOM–low-carbon collaboration with customers.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the theory and practice area by unveiling the “black-box” of the CLCOM–MCP relationship and considers SCRM’s moderating effect.

Authors: Gheidan Elhassan , Ab. Kadir Mariyana Aida , Aluko Oluwatobi Gbenga 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the properties and performance of ordinary Portland cement-based self-compacting concrete (OPC-SCC) and pozzolanic-based SCC (pozzolanic-SCC) in concrete applications. The research employs a comparative analysis to examine the workability and strength characteristics of these two types of SCC.Design/methodology/approachThis study involves analyzing and comparing the properties and performance of OPC-SCC and pozzolanic-SCC through a literature review of relevant studies and experiments. The key findings indicate that the use of pozzolanic materials in SCC, such as fly ash, silica fume and metakaolin, can enhance the sustainability and durability of the concrete. The research also reveals that the choice of steel fibers and polypropylene fibers can impact the fire performance and mechanical properties of SCC.FindingsThe findings indicate that the inclusion of supplementary cementitious materials enhances the workability, strength and fire resistance of SCC to a greater extent compared to the addition of steel and polypropylene fibers.Practical implicationsThe practical implications of this research are significant for selecting and utilizing SCC in concrete applications.Originality/valueThe originality of this research lies in the comparative analysis of OPC-SCC and pozzolanic-SCC, considering their properties, performance and practical implications. The study extends the existing knowledge on the use of SCC and provides insights into best practices for its application. The research contributes to the field of concrete technology and sustainable construction by highlighting the benefits and limitations of different types of SCC and their potential impact on concrete performance.

Authors: Shu Chengli , Srimuang Keeratinun 
Published: February 2025

PurposeDespite wide awareness of the importance of digital transformation (DT) for emerging market firms, we have limited understanding of the drivers, the process or the outcomes of DT in emerging market firms.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted a qualitative study on 24 case companies in Thailand and embraced thematic analysis to generate our research findings.FindingsThe framework shows that the DT process in emerging market firms proceeds over three stages—market-opportunity sensing, digital technology acquisition and leading DT—which are driven by technological dynamism, business ties and institutional support. Once DT is successfully implemented, emerging market firms can improve their operational efficiency, customer relationship management, business model innovation and human resources management.Originality/valueThis study thus contributes to the DT literature by offering a three-stage model of DT and identifying important antecedents and consequences of DT, which together specify how emerging market firms transform themselves digitally.
The social life of money for children
Authors: Bandelj Nina 
Published: February 2025

AbstractInspired by Nigel Dodd's The Social Life of Money, this article proposes an analysis of entangled economic lives, that is, how meaning, structures and politics jointly shape the flow of monies within households. The past decades have marked a shift from “childrearing expenditures” to “parenting investments” that align with new visions of both children and parents. The new social life of money for children revolves less around what Viviana Zelizer decades ago famously called “a priceless child,” and more in support of human capital development of children and invested parenting identities. The new ideational schemas are scaffolded by financialization, an exploding parenting product industry, and an aloof state offloading provision for children onto individual parents. Leading entangled economic lives, parents engage in relational work in which they match the sacred child‐parent bond with not only culturally appropriate but actually affordable monies for children, creating a new political economy of parenting.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo qualitatively explore the reasons health professionals decide to practice in rural areas.Study Setting and DesignExploratory, cross‐sectional, semi‐structured qualitative interview and focus group study using thematic analysis with a convenience sample of health professionals in rural Minnesota. Interviews and focus groups were conducted virtually and in person, respectively, between August 2023 and March 2024.Data Sources and Analytic SamplePrimary interview and focus group data were collected from 19 individual interviews and 3 focus groups (n = 16) with health professionals in rural Minnesota. Interview and focus group recordings were transcribed, deductively coded, and analyzed using constant comparison.Principal FindingsRural health professionals cited autonomy and breadth of practice and patient connection as rewarding and challenging components of practice that were distinctly rural. Barriers to recruitment and retention of rural health professionals included lack of housing (especially rental and short‐term) and accessible childcare. Potentially promising considerations when recruiting and retaining health professionals include loan forgiveness programs, the appeal of increasing racial and ethnic diversity in rural areas, and the ease of community health advocacy efforts.ConclusionOur findings suggest that to recruit and retain rural health professionals, stakeholders could highlight autonomy and patient connection, reduce childcare and housing barriers, and explore community strengths such as racial/ethnic diversity and opportunities for advocacy.

ABSTRACTAimOur study aimed to evaluate the significance and clinical utility of immature granulocyte (IG) count (IGC) and IG percentage (IG%) in predicting attacks in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).MethodsThis retrospective study included 100 FMF patients and 50 healthy controls. Data from 24 patients during the attack period and 76 patients during the attack‐free period in the FMF group were obtained from medical records. Complete blood count analyses were carried out with the Mindray BC‐6200 automated hematology analyzer following standard laboratory protocols. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to differentiate FMF patients in the attack period from those in the attack‐free period.ResultsIn FMF patients, levels of WBC (p = 0.032), neutrophils (p = 0.001), C‐reactive protein (CRP) (p = 0.002), IG count (p < 0.001), and IG percentage (p < 0.001) were significantly higher compared to healthy controls. During the attack period, IG count and IG percentage levels were significantly elevated compared to the attack‐free period (p < 0.001 for both). Based on ROC analysis, IG count and IG percentage showed significant diagnostic potential in FMF patients, with AUC values of 0.841 and 0.766, respectively.ConclusionIGC and IG% serve as indicators of inflammation in FMF patients and may facilitate the differential diagnosis of FMF attacks, with respective cut‐off values of 0.04 × 109/L and 0.4%. Given their accessibility and lack of additional cost, these parameters have the potential to enhance clinical practice by augmenting the diagnostic utility of conventional inflammatory biomarkers.

Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundSubstance use disorder (SUD) is a prodigious public health issue characterized by a substantial treatment gap. Despite challenges, millions have resolved a prior significant alcohol or drug problem, increasingly using online supports as a part of their recovery efforts (e.g., virtual mutual‐help group meetings, traditional social networking sites [SNS]). However, the content surrounding SUD recovery‐related discussion on SNS such as Twitter remains largely unexamined. To fill this gap, we explored public tweets using SUD recovery‐related hashtags.MethodsFrom January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022, 455,968 public tweets were collected using SUD recovery‐related hashtags. Natural language processing was used to identify and remove irrelevant groupings of tweets from the dataset, resulting in a final corpus of 186,460 tweets. A random subsample of 1800 tweets was extracted for content analysis, involving codebook development, manual annotation by trained coders, and inter‐rater reliability assessment (average Cohen's κ = 0.77).ResultsNearly half (41.7%) of SUD recovery‐related posts were from individuals in or seeking recovery, while 21.3% originated from addiction treatment industry accounts. Common themes included addiction treatment marketing (27.4%; some of which promoted scientifically unsupported products or services), emotional support (15.6%), celebrating a recovery milestone (15.4%), alcohol/drug‐related sociopolitical commentary (14.7%), expressions of gratitude (11.5%), and mutual‐help group participation (8.7%).ConclusionsSUD recovery‐related content on Twitter reflected individuals seeking social support during efforts to initiate or maintain recovery. However, these accounts may be met with marketing material from entities that misrepresent their services or promote products based on unsubstantiated claims. Stricter (or enforcement of existing) regulations may be warranted to protect vulnerable SNS platform users from entities seeking to exploit them for financial gain.
Greater alcohol intake predicts accelerated brain aging in humans, which mediates the relationship between alcohol intake and behavioral inflexibility

Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundHazardous use of alcohol is associated with cognitive‐behavioral impairments and accelerated aging. To date, however, accelerated brain aging has not been tested as a mediating factor between alcohol use and associated task‐based behavioral deficits, such as behavioral inflexibility. Here, we evaluated hazardous alcohol use as a predictor of machine learning‐derived brain aging and tested if this measure accounted for the relationship between hazardous alcohol use and a task‐based measure of behavioral flexibility.MethodsIn this secondary analysis, we applied brainageR, a machine learning algorithm, to anatomical T1‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images to estimate brain age for a sample of healthy adults (ages 22–40) who self‐reported alcohol use with the alcohol use disorder identification test (AUDIT) and performed the hidden association between images task (HABIT), a behavioral flexibility task. Behavioral inflexibility was quantified as the proportion of perseverative errors performed on the HABIT as a measure of habitual action selection. We then analyzed AUDIT score as a predictor of brain aging, and brain aging as a predictor of behavioral inflexibility. Lastly, we conducted a mediation analysis to evaluate brain aging as a mediator between alcohol use and behavioral inflexibility.ResultsControlling for chronological age and sex, a higher AUDIT score predicted significantly more accelerated brain aging, which was further associated with more perseverative errors on the HABIT. Moreover, brain aging significantly mediated the association between AUDIT scores and behavioral inflexibility.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that alcohol use is a significant predictor of accelerated brain aging, even in young adulthood. In addition, our findings suggest that such brain changes may mechanistically link more hazardous alcohol use to impaired behavioral flexibility. Future studies should also explore factors, such as other lifestyle behaviors, that may mitigate alcohol‐ and age‐related processes.
Human rights and the comprehensive geriatric assessment: Is the standard of care compatible with a human rights approach?
Authors: Wee Rohan 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThe comprehensive geriatric assessment is a key tool of geriatricians. It encompasses a holistic approach to care and is now the standard of care for the provision of geriatric medical care for older, vulnerable people across multiple areas of practice. In this article, I argue that the CGA is a tool that allows respect for and support for a human rights' focused approach. This support for human rights has developed incidentally with the development of the CGA. As a result, there are risks to older people's human rights even with a well‐applied CGA. The development of a specific human rights convention focused on older people would help focus attention on the rights of older people.
