Students’ self-perception of social, emotional, and intercultural competences in a public higher education institution in Colombia
Authors: Herrera Granda Andres , Yepes Sara María , Montes Granada Willer Ferney , Alvarez Salazar Johny 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Since social, emotional and intercultural (SEI) competences can help individuals manage their feelings, deal with stressful situations and build relationships with others, they have become useful tools for university students. The purpose of this study is thus to assess students’ self-perception of their SEI competences in a public higher education institution in Colombia.

Design/methodology/approach
For this purpose, we used a cross-sectional quantitative design and a sample of 413 students from different academic programs and levels. The differences across gender, age, socioeconomic stratum and participation in internationalization strategies were examined using statistical and linear regression analysis.

Findings
According to the results, students exhibited “satisfactory” or high levels of social, emotional and intercultural competences in general. Self-management, global citizenship and intercultural intelligence had the highest average scores, whereas self-awareness, social awareness and relationship skills had the lowest scores. Remarkably, we found a positive relationship between older students and global citizenship and relationship skills and between internationalization strategies and global citizenship and intercultural intelligence, as well as a low correlation between social awareness and younger students (aged 15 to 25 years).

Originality/value
To offer high-quality academic opportunities and internationalization strategies to university students, this article provides insights into how these students perceive and develop eymotional, social and intercultural competences throughout their academic program, considering their sociodemographic conditions. Finally, we recommend incorporating teaching strategies that favor the development of SEI competences into the curriculum.
Mitigation versus adaptation: climate-change-related appeals and pondering the future
Authors: Xu Lina , Hyman Michael R. 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Responding to a recent editorial call for sustainable development (Truong and Saunders, 2021), this study aims to explore the persuasiveness of climate-change-related appeals.

Design/methodology/approach
Three scenario-based experiments were conducted to test the effect of climate-change-related appeals on persuasion, the underlying mechanism causing that effect and associated boundary conditions. Statistical results were based on analysis of variance, mediation and moderation analysis.

Findings
Adaptation-oriented appeals are more persuasive than mitigation-oriented appeals. Specifically, adaptation (versus mitigation) appeals activate a self-regulation process that encourages people to think about the future, making them more likely to address climate change. This effect is salient when consumers’ environmental concerns are low.

Practical implications
To boost message persuasiveness, marketers and public policymakers could construct abstract and long-horizon climate-change-related appeals and provide prompts or interventions to promote people’s elaborations about potential outcomes.

Social implications
To boost message persuasiveness, marketers and public policymakers could construct abstract and long-horizon climate-change-related appeals and provide prompts or interventions to promote people’s elaborations about potential outcomes.

Originality/value
Revealing mitigation and adaptation climate-change-related appeals yield diverse effects.
The straw that breaks the camel's back: service provider vulnerability to customer incivility
Authors: Loh Jennifer , Khan Md Irfanuzzaman , Johns Raechel 
Published: June 2022

PurposeUncivil customer behaviour is a concern for service providers and can result in increasing vulnerability for them or their customers. This paper aimed to investigate the interactional link between customer incivility and service provider retaliation and job outcomes. Furthermore, power distance orientation and gender were investigated as potential moderators between customer and retaliation incivilities.Design/methodology/approachFive hypotheses were examined empirically through structural equation modelling. Overall, 679 (356 males and 323 females) service providers recruited across three countries, namely Australia (N = 233), Singapore (N = 199) and the Philippines (N = 247), were surveyed online.FindingsThe results indicated that incivility caused work exhaustion, which negatively impacted job satisfaction. Power distance orientation moderated the association between customer and retaliatory incivilities, leading to exhaustion and dissatisfaction with one's job. Importantly, the results also revealed that the female service providers with a higher power distance tend to instigate incivility compared to their male counterparts.Originality/valueBy incorporating both conservation of resource and negative spiral incivility theories, this study provided an integrated and cohesive explanation for both the direct and interaction effects between customer incivility, retaliatory incivility and work outcomes. In addition, the finding that emotional exhaustion promoted job dissatisfaction highlighted the importance of examining the former's role especially among the female service providers with a higher power distance as they may be less able to restrain their retaliatory behaviours during uncivil incidents. Several practical solutions aimed at reducing the vulnerability encountered by the mistreated service providers were proposed.
The impact of foreign firm ownership on local renewal activities
Authors: Henning Martin , Yakob Ramsin 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate how an increasingly intertwined international geography of ownership affects renewal activities and processes, including innovation, in established local companies that have shifted into foreign ownership. The authors develop a framework for the relations between (foreign) ownership and local renewal activities and processes (including innovation). The authors focus on access to resources for renewal, the development of capabilities for innovation and change, and local mandates to pursue renewal. Based on case studies of eight formerly Swedish-owned mid-size manufacturing companies that have shifted into and remained under foreign ownership during most of the 2010s, the authors develop a framework concerned with the relations between (foreign) ownership and renewal activities and processes in local firms.

Design/methodology/approach
Multiple intensive case studies of eight previously Swedish-owned mid-sized manufacturing companies to gain qualitative insights into the resource, capabilities and mandates for renewal under new ownership conditions. Empirical data collected primarily through semi-structured interviews and complemented with secondary material, including annual reports (2010–2018), databases, press releases and information on company websites. Empirical data were analyzed thematically to isolate key findings pertaining to renewal. At the core of the analysis process was the gradual creation of a framework that stipulates the relations between (foreign) ownership and firm renewal activities and processes.

Findings
The companies are endowed with liberal but conditional mandates to pursue strategic innovation in their original sites and draw on a stronger resource repertoire within their ownership spheres. In comparison to the established international business (IB) literature, the authors add considerations about how local aspects interact with international ones to form global distribution of renewal activities in our time. To economic geographers and innovation scholars, consideration of the local and its importance in renewal activities and processes is certainly not new, but we show how ownership is an important aspect that conditions some of the strategic interactions that companies have with their “outsides”.

Originality/value
Contributes to the burgeoning conversation between IB and economic geography disciplines. Emphasizes a deeper local aspect to the IB literature, partly how companies access resources and capabilities from the ownership sphere at points that suit their renewal efforts and partly the persistence of path-dependent aspects of local companies even as they get acquired by multinationals. Emphasizes ownership and mandate aspects to the literature in Economic geography, which tends to focus on regional/non-regional assets for renewal and innovation. Findings show that the non-regional assets are, in fact, two distinct categories as ownership becomes internationalized: assets within and outside the ownership sphere.
A neutrosophic approach to evaluate the factors affecting performance and theory of sustainable supply chain management: application to textile industry
Authors: Aytekin Ahmet , Okoth Basil Oluoch , Korucuk Selçuk , Karamaşa Çağlar , Tirkolaee Erfan Babaee 
Published: June 2022

PurposeSustainable supply chain management (SSCM) practices and policies are necessary for businesses that seek to take part in international markets and ensure any form of competitiveness. Over time, and especially in the recent past, researchers, governments, and other policymakers have made use of broad and systematic approaches and come to appreciate the value-enhancing activities of sustainability.Design/methodology/approachBusinesses have embraced the integration of sustainable policies and practices within the supply chain as a critical step in ensuring the efficiency of their operations. It is clear in previous studies and operational programs of enterprises that SSCM practices accord businesses certain benefits including improving their environmental, social, and economic performance, and increasing their ecological awareness by way of influencing performance elements within supply networks in enterprises. The study examines the factors influencing performance and theories of SSCM using a neutrosophic method in the textile industry.FindingsSSCM performance is thus of great importance in ensuring business success and competitiveness, realizing customer satisfaction, and leaving the environment in a desirable state for future generations. Performance management, by assisting in the decision-making by managers and ensuring an adequate level of internal interaction, is an integral part of assimilating sustainability management into businesses. SSCM theories also have a strong impact on the determination of the sources of competitive advantage through effective utilization of business capabilities to solve environmental and social challenges that may affect business performance.Originality/valueIn line with the benefits highlighted, this study seeks to evaluate and select the factors affecting SSCM performance and theory in textile enterprises with corporate identity in Ordu and Giresun provinces following a neutrosophic approach. To this end, the elements obtained from the literature review are evaluated using the MULTIMOORA-mGqNN method.
“The club on the hill”: footballing place as an arena for sustainable and ethical action
Authors: Samuel Anthony , McGouran Cathy , Thomas Robert J. , Reginald Gareth , White Terence 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Places have deep-seated meaning and serve to shape our social grouping and practices. Sporting stadia are a highly influential aspect of many people’s lives that drive the inexorable journey towards team affiliation, immersive experiences, intense loyalty and the creation of an enduring, local identity. This paper aims to explore how the nature of a sporting place has been shaped to change the practice of football as a sport, as a business and as entertainment. This paper uncovers how Forest Green Rovers (FGR) differentiates itself from the historical and socio-economic roots of football and uses numerous novel sustainability initiatives to re-imagine a new type of football place, club and fandom.

Design/methodology/approach
Over a two-year period, the authors used multiple data collection methods, engaging in participant observation, interviews and focus groups, at FGR and related events. A thematic data analysis was conducted to pinpoint and extract key areas surrounding the unique structures, practices and reinforced behaviours that have developed in FGR.

Findings
The findings show that FGR’s place operates as a central location through which stakeholders, ideas, resources and practices have been disrupted and re-imagined around the principles of sustainability. This fundamental shift in FGR’s place, changing its composition, character and reach, means that FGR can be conceptualised as a novel place synonymous with new global social movements.

Originality/value
This study presents unique insights into the world’s first socially and environmentally conscious football club. This study examines the construction and operation of the place that facilitates its actions which go beyond what has been seen and maybe expected from commercial sporting institutions.
Productive possibilities? Valorising urban space through pop-up?
Authors: Warnaby Gary , Medway Dominic 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The “pop-up” epithet has become a synonym for virtually any temporary event in a range of commercial, non-commercial and cultural contexts within the urban spatial arena. This paper aims to discuss the role of the pop-up concept within urban space, to address the question articulated in the Call for Papers for this special issue, of whether “everywhere needs to become a marketplace”.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors review a range of sources – both academic, popular press and practitioner publications and reports – to inform our critique of the use of the pop-up activities in urban space.

Findings
The authors identify four ways in which the pop-up concept can be valorised – pop-up stores and experiences, pop-up agglomerations, pop-up service facilities and pop-up space brokerage services.

Originality/value
Adopting a critical perspective, the authors address pop-up’s implications, especially the impact on urban places and the people within them. This study concludes by discussing the potential for an increased use of pop-up within urban spaces impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could be focused as much on social as economic value.
Conforming to and resisting imposed identities – an autoethnography on academic motherhood
Authors: Krysa Isabella , Kivijärvi Marke 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis research attempts to make sense of the experiences of two academic women who become mothers.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is an autoethnography. Applying the autoethnographic method allows us to discuss cultural phenomena through personal reflections and experiences. Our autoethnographic reflections illustrate our struggles and attempts of resistance within discursive spaces where motherhood and our identity as academics intersect.FindingsOur personal experiences combined with theoretical elaborations illuminate how the role of the mother continues to be dominated by such gendered discursive practices that conflict with the work role. Once women become mothers, they are othered through societal and organizational practices because they constitute a visible deviation from the masculine norm in the organizational setting, academia included.Originality/valueThis paper explores how contemporary motherhood discourse(s)within academia and the wider society present competing truth claims, embedded in neoliberal and postfeminist cultural sensibility. Our autoethnographic reflections show our struggles and attempts of resistance within such discursive spaces.
Environmental MCS package, perceived environmental uncertainty and green performance: in green dynamic capabilities and investment in environmental management perspectives
Authors: Bresciani Stefano , Rehman Shafique Ur , Alam Gazi Mahabubul , Ashfaq Khurram , Usman Muhammad 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe organizations focus on environmental factors as stakeholders exert pressure to reduce the environmental influence arising from production tasks. This study aims to see the influence of the environmental management control system (MCS) package and perceived environmental uncertainty on green performance with the mediating role of green dynamic capabilities in Pakistani manufacturing organizations. Moreover, this study aims to see the moderating role of investment in environmental management between green dynamic capabilities and green performance.Design/methodology/approachThe partial least square structural equation modeling technique is used to test hypotheses. The data was collected through questionnaires using simple random sampling, and a total of 404 questionnaires were used in the final analysis. The data was collected from September 2021 to November 2021. Multiple regression analysis followed to see the influence of environmental MCS package, perceived environmental uncertainty, green dynamic capabilities and investment in environmental management on green performance.FindingsEnvironmental MCS package, green dynamic capabilities and investment in environmental management are positively related to green performance. Despite this, perceived environmental uncertainty is negatively related to green performance. Moreover, green dynamic capabilities significantly mediate between environmental MCS package, perceived environmental uncertainty and green performance. Finally, investment in environmental management significantly moderates between green dynamic capabilities and green performance.Practical implicationsThis research covers vital issues that how top management uses the environmental MCS package, perceived environmental uncertainty, green dynamic capabilities and investment in environmental management in determining green performance.Originality/valueThis research adds value to the existing literature by focusing on predictors that determine green performance. This pioneering study observes the influence of environmental MCS package and perceived environmental uncertainty on green performance and green dynamic capabilities as mediators by applying natural resource-based view theory. Moreover, investment in environmental management is used as a moderator between green dynamic capabilities and green performance. Finally, this study can benefit management, industrial policymakers and academicians.
Insiders’ characteristics and market timing capabilities: buying and selling evidence
Authors: Santos Dinis Daniel , Gama Paulo 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to study individual managers’ market timing capabilities while trading (either buying or selling) stock from their portfolios, as well as the impact of gender, seniority and trading frequency on their market timing performance.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a relative transaction price approach introduced by Dittmar and Field (2015) on 837 aggregated trades made by managers from their portfolios between 2010 and 2015. These were taken from publicly disclosed information through the Portuguese regulator. Furthermore, this study uses a median regression-based method to infer the authors’ conclusions.

Findings
The authors find that insiders buy (sell) at a relatively lower (higher) price when compared to other traders. This evidence shows that insiders have market timing capabilities. Moreover, this paper shows that contrarily to gender, both seniority and frequency help explain market timing performance and that insiders’ trades made over-the-counter (OTC) generally overperform the ones made on the open market (OM). Finally, this study finds a significant crisis-related influence on insiders’ market timing performance.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature by studying insider trading at the portfolio level, by analyzing the impact of personal characteristics of insiders (including gender, tenure and eagerness), focusing both on studying the buying and selling behavior across both OMs and OTC and analyzing firsthand the impact of a macroeconomic shift on insider trading performance.
Cytokine‐producing B‐cell balance associates with skin fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis

Published: June 2022

AbstractSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by skin and lung fibrosis. Over 90% of patients with SSc are positive for autoantibodies. In addition, the serum levels of B‐cell activating factor, a potent B‐cell stimulator, are correlated with SSc severity and activity. Thus, B cells play an important role in SSc pathogenesis. However, two opposing B‐cell subsets exist: effector B cells (Beff) and regulatory B cells (Breg). Interleukin (IL)‐6‐producing Beff have been shown to promote scleroderma in a mouse model, whereas IL‐10‐producing Breg inhibit scleroderma development. In the present study, we investigated the clinical association of effector and regulatory B cells in patients with SSc. The blood levels of IL‐6‐producing Beff and IL‐10‐producing Breg were measured in 30 patients with SSc and 21 healthy subjects by flow cytometry. The frequency of IL‐6‐producing Beff in the blood was significantly (p < 0.0001) elevated in patients with SSc (median, 56.2%; range, 35.3–81.3%) compared with that in healthy controls (median, 41.3%; range, 21.0–61.3%). In contrast, the frequency of IL‐10‐producing Breg in the blood was significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in patients with SSc (median, 1.4%; range, 0.5–2.8%) compared with that in healthy controls (median, 2.0%; range, 1.1–3.8%). The Beff/Breg ratio was significantly increased in patients with SSc. In addition, the Beff/Breg ratio was positively correlated with the skin score and extent of interstitial lung disease. These results suggest that dysregulation of effector and regulatory B‐cell balance contributes to SSc pathogenesis.
