Hotel employees’ occupational stigma narratives: perceived attributes, formation paths and destigmatization mechanisms
Authors: Xiang Keheng , Gao Fan , Qiao Guanghui , Chen Qingwen 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
Hotel employees’ occupational stigma is often overlooked. Exploration of hotel employees’ occupational stigma representations, perception pathways and destigmatization provides an empirical basis for positive organizational behavior and psychology in the hotel industry. Therefore, this study aims to better understand the mechanism underlying inherent of occupational stigma.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts a five-factor narrative analysis involving stigma narrative interviews with a purposed sampling of hotel employees (n = 18). Based on occupational stigma and resource conservation theories, this study designed a five-factor narrative analysis structure chart as the basis for data analysis.

Findings
Findings indicate the existence of four quadrants of perceived occupational stigma attribute distribution, two paths of perceived occupational stigma formation and a more systematic occupational destigmatization mechanism path.

Research limitations/implications
The occupational destigmatization path and countermeasures proposed in this study can resolve talent drain and eliminate stereotyping in the hotel industry, which promote the industry’s rapid recovery and sustainable healthy development, providing the practical management guidelines for public communication via social media, and offer practical significance for existing hotel human resource management in modules such as organizational culture and training.

Originality/value
This study broadens investigations of occupational stigma in a single, static context and explains the relationship between hotel employees’ stigma perceptions and destigmatization paths. Further, the mechanism of emotional energy distribution on spatial stigma was identified. These results have practical implications for organizational culture, training and employee care in hotel human resource management.
Wicked multi-problems (COVID-19 + Oil Spill + wildFires) in Brazil and their effects on socioeconomic vulnerability
Authors: Câmara Samuel Façanha , Silva Felipe Roberto da , Pinto Francisco Roberto , Soares Marcelo de Oliveira 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis research aims to identify Brazil's socioeconomic vulnerability to wicked multi-problems arising from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (2019–2020), from the most extensive (∼ 3,000 km) oil spill in tropical oceans (2019/2020) and from the highest rate of wildfires in the last decade.Design/methodology/approachTo this end, the authors measured the socioeconomic vulnerabilities of the 27 Brazilian states to these multi-problems (COVID-19 + Oil Spill + wildFire), considering the effects of these events individually and together. In addition, the authors calculated the vulnerability indices using two variables: production value and number of jobs created by an economic activity.FindingsResults show the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro as the most susceptible, with a potential loss of 74.2% in production value and 47% in active employment relationships, caused by these overlapping events in time. The results also demonstrate that the country has failed in the coordination and management of these events (separately and jointly), showing difficulties especially in the stages of immediate response and recovery.Originality/valueRegarding its contributions, this paper innovates by establishing an unprecedented overlap of wicked problems, linking this concept to the analysis of socioeconomic vulnerability of the affected communities, through a model that applies to other regions worldwide.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-09-2021-0536
Analyzing diversity amongst visitors of Portuguese wine routes based on their wine involvement
Authors: Cunha Diana , Kastenholz Elisabeth , Silva Carla 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis paper focuses on the wine tourist market in the central region of Portugal, and it aims to analyze the wine tourist’s demographic and travel behavior and preferences profile, based on their level of wine involvement.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents results from an exploratory study with a quantitative design, including a total of 1,029 survey responses from visitors of three wine routes. A K-mean cluster analysis was carried out, and the emerging groups of wine tourists were statistically compared (ANOVA or Chi-squared test).FindingsParticipants present a demographic profile of the wine route visitor similar to that found in other studies, with an average involvement with wine. There were three clusters of wine tourists, with different levels of involvement with wine: less wine-involved; medium wine-involved; and highly wine-involved. Significant differences between the three mentioned categories are visible for gender, age and attractions visited and expenses, suggesting the possibility of a differentiated market approach. Additionally, most respondents report high interest in a variety of attractions that are not exclusively wine-related. This finding supports the conceptualization of (particularly rural) wine tourism as “terroir tourism.”Research limitations/implicationsThe pandemic context in which data collection was undertaken led to a smaller sample than expected, which was also more domestic than would have been in “non-COVID” times.Practical implicationsThis study provides relevant insights about visitors of wine routes in Central Portugal, which may resonate in other wine tourism destinations. Implications for both theory and practice are also discussed.Originality/valueThis paper fulfills an identified need to study the wine tourism market in the Central Region of Portugal and expands our understanding about wine tourists’ profiles, behavior and interests, adding with empirical findings to the debate on heterogeneity in the wine tourist market, the role of wine involvement and of terroir.
New-normal Market Entry Mode for Pharmaceuticals: an Internet of Things (IoT) market entry framework stemming from COVID-19
Authors: Priporas Constantinos-Vasilios , Vellore-Nagarajan Durga 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to determine new-normal uncertainty considerations stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic to consider within transaction-cost analysis for pharmaceuticals. It also aims to propose new-normal market entry strategies to address the uncertainty as a result of COVID-19's implications and provide for lack of knowledge and information in an uncertain business environment by way of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem for pharmaceutical market entry.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, we focus on the uncertainty facet within transaction-cost analysis consideration and utilise a descriptive three-case study approach taking in Johnson and Johnson (J&J), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Novartis to present an ADO (Antecedent-Decisions-Outcomes) understanding of their usual market entry approach, the approach undertaken during the pandemic and the outcomes thereafter facilitating new-normal uncertainty considerations to factor in. Further with this insight, we develop a conceptual framework addressing the transaction-cost analysis implications of uncertainties toward lack of knowledge and information for a new-normal market entry approach and operating strategy for pharmaceuticals applicable due to IoT (Internet of Things).FindingsUncertainty (external and internal) is different now in the new-normal business environment for pharmaceuticals and boils down to acute shortage of knowledge and information impact to make an appropriately informed decision. Therefore, considering the changed factors to consider, pharmaceuticals need to be able to undertake market entry with vaccines and medicines by way of IoT thereby enabling, the filling of the gap via real-time data access and sharing, including enhancing predictive analysis for sustenance.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper's findings have many theoretical implications highlighted in the manuscript.Practical implicationsThe paper's findings have many practical implications highlighted in the manuscript.Originality/valueThis is the first study to our knowledge that throws light on transaction-cost analysis theory's uncertainty facet for pharmaceuticals. It is also the first study that provides a new-normal market entry strategy for pharmaceutical companies built on interoperability of real-time IoT.
Visual literacy shown through a magnifying lens by high school students
Authors: Reddy Pritika , Sharma Bibhya , Chaudhary Kaylash , Lolohea Osaiasi , Tamath Robert 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate student visual literacy skills using the newly designed visual literacy framework and visual literacy (VL) scale.

Design/methodology/approach
It includes a newly designed framework, a self-reporting questionnaire and a scale to evaluate an individual's VL skills and overall competency. The self-reporting questionnaire consists of 13 items with a five-point Likert scale.

Findings
The newly developed VL skill scale assessed the Fiji students’ competency (i.e. identify, understand, evaluate and communicate using visuals). The mean for the 13 items on VL skills showed average results, but 46.33% recorded high visual literacy competencies. The multiple linear regression analysis outcomes showed all 13 skills demonstrated significant contributions to becoming visually literate.

Research limitations/implications
The limitation of this study is that the questionnaire is self-reporting, so the evaluation can be highly rated. The implications are that relevant stakeholders will be able to devise strategies and content to improve visual literacy in Fiji.

Practical implications
Images are playing an important role today, especially after COVID-19, which forced the education system to go online. Online learning involves a lot of visuals, and as such, visual literacy is important to students so that they can successfully learn online. This paper brings out the important aspects of visual literacy, which needs to be understood by the students.

Social implications
In society, everything involves visuals. This paper introduces a visual literacy scale and a visual literacy tool to measure the visual competencies of individuals. If people understand the components of visual literacy, then visual competencies of the people will also improve.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first one on evaluating visual literacy competencies in Fiji and also in the South Pacific. The visual literacy tool is also new to the world.
Infrastructure development: reflections on Sierra Leone infrastructure scheme and the Lungi Bridge project
Authors: Oliveros-Romero José , Paton-Cole Vidal Patrick 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The Government of Sierra Leone has launched a strategic plan 2019–2022 that includes a large focus on new large infrastructure. This plan includes the Lungi Bridge project, a 7-km bridge for connecting the capital city Freetown with the Lungi airport, procured with a public–private partnership (PPP) model. This study aims to reflect on seven issues regarding the plan implementation and the procurement of the Lungi Bridge project.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses case study analysis (Sierra Leone’s infrastructure plan), in which existing literature and expertise is applied to discuss/reflect the implications for the future.

Findings
Among other reflections, this study addresses the benefits and risks of using a PPP option with non-sovereign guarantee, off-balance sheet treatment and a special purpose vehicle for multiple projects; this study also discusses the social risk of misperceiving the bridge as a basic essential transport option (non-voluntary).

Practical implications
The reflective process can contribute significantly to policymakers in Sierra Leone and its neighbour countries, as it is a contextualised analysis for the country.

Originality/value
Many studies have addressed existing PPP projects and contexts for low-income countries. However, to best of the author’s knowledge, the analysis of a single government infrastructure plan has not been addressed. Moreover, for the Sierra Leone’s context, this is unique.
The effect of COVID-19 on tourists' attitudes and travel intentions: an empirical study on camping/glamping tourism in Turkey during COVID-19
Authors: Zorlu Kuttusi , Tuncer Mehmet , Taşkın Grant Altay 
Published: June 2022

PurposeIn this study, visitors' attitudes and behavioural intentions towards camping/glamping tourism in Turkey during the pandemic were investigated using the extended theory of planned behaviour (TPB). The model has been extended to include constructs such as risk perception and risk aversion attitudes that stem from COVID-19 to predict visitors' attitudes and behavioural intentions.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected through an online questionnaire from 432 participants who have experience and interest in camping/glamping tourism in Turkey. The responses were analysed using the structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsThe findings show that besides the basic TPB structures, other added variables also significantly affect visitors' attitudes and intentions. Moreover, it has been observed that the risk perception and risk aversion attitude derived from COVID-19 increase negative emotions in visitors and decreased behavioural intentions.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of the study are discussed for future research as well as its academic and practical implications.Originality/valueThis theoretical expansion is thought to increase the theory's predictive power in predicting visitors' behaviour during the pandemic.
Muzakki’s adoption of mobile service: integrating the roles of technology acceptance model (TAM), perceived trust and religiosity
Authors: Muflih Muhammad 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
This study aims to predict the adoption of mobile services among muzakki (Islamic taxpayers) through the integrative roles of technology acceptance model (TAM), perceived trust and religiosity.

Design/methodology/approach
A questionnaire was distributed to 209 muzakkis as this research’s respondents. The partial least square was used to evaluate the relationship between TAM, perceived trust, religiosity and the adoption of mobile zakat services.

Findings
This study finds that perceived easiness and religiosity play a positive and significant role in increasing the adoption of mobile zakat services. Meanwhile, perceived usefulness and perceived trust do not have any influential role in generating muzakki adoption behavior.

Practical implications
This study underlines the importance of digital zakat institutions making easy-to-understand and easy-to-access online platforms for the broader community. In addition, they need to collaborate with formal and non-formal religious education institutions to increase zakat awareness and its benefits for marginalized groups.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to integrate the TAM theory, perceived trust and religiosity in estimating muzakki adoption of mobile services.
Portfolio optimisation of Shariah-compliant samples in the USA
Authors: Sukor Mohd Edil Abd , Abdul Halim Asyraf 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the dynamic portfolio optimisation performance of numerous samples of Shariah-compliant firms in the USA vis-à-vis the overall conventional sample.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper constructs efficient frontiers and subsequently the capital market line using the ovport set of commands in STATA. From the capital market line, the tangent portfolio is found, and the Sharpe ratio of the tangent portfolio is the primary measurement of the dynamic portfolio optimisation performance of the samples of Shariah-compliant samples in this study.

Findings
This paper finds that the overall conventional sample will outperform the Shariah-compliant samples in most cases. However, there exists a consistent trend whereby the performance of the overall conventional sample will converge towards the performance of the Shariah-compliant samples (and even be lower at times), as the market approaches a looming crisis suggesting that the Shariah-compliant samples do not experience significant deteriorations in their performance as compared to the conventional sample and that they provide stability during such times.

Research limitations/implications
This paper assumes no transaction costs, illiquidity, bid-ask spread and non-compliant revenue purification all of which may negatively affect portfolio performance.

Practical implications
The findings of this paper suggest that Shariah-compliant samples should be included in portfolios during times of crisis because they are less affected by market-wide volatility.

Social implications
The stability of Shariah-compliant samples reflects the conservativity of the contemporary Shariah stock screening methodologies and the Shariah itself.

Originality/value
Portfolio optimisation studies on Shariah-compliant samples are usually static in nature and are conducted in selected Muslim countries. This paper studies the dynamic portfolio optimisation in the USA where a liquid Islamic capital market is non-existent.

Published: June 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to review the auditing procedures and structure in an emerging economy's public sector by explaining the recent changes and developments in the auditing process, its structure and the responsibilities of its underlying actors.Design/methodology/approachThis paper traces the development of Iran's public sector financial monitoring by examining the country's legal and governmental documents as well as the auditing standards and procedures.FindingsThe Supreme Audit Court of Iran (SACI) is the main actor in public auditing and uses various tools and involves several organizations to cover diverse scopes of public auditing; this paper also discusses the structure and the financial (in)dependence of the SACI.Originality/valueThis is the first piece of work that explains the public auditing procedures and structure in Iran's public sector by focusing on recent changes and developments in its objectives and scopes.
Emotional intelligence congruence: the influence of leader and follower emotional abilities on job satisfaction
Authors: Winton Bradley G. 
Published: June 2022

PurposeLimited research has been devoted to the entanglement of emotions between leaders and followers (i.e. emotional congruence) and how these emotions may be altering job satisfaction. Current research hints that a leader's emotional intelligence (EI) directly influences follower's satisfaction at work. Using the affective events theory (AET), emotional contagion theory (ECT) and the multi-level model of emotion and leadership, this research attempts to directly examine perceptions of the leader–follower relationship and the relationship's enhancement of follower job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThis paper employs a survey among 427 USA-based workers to test a moderated model of the relationship between follower and leader EI and job satisfaction. The hypothesized relationships and moderation effects are examined using the SPSS macro PROCESS (Hayes, 2018). Common method variance (CMV) was analyzed and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is presented.FindingsDirect effects support the hypotheses that follower and leader EI contribute to the job satisfaction of followers. Moderation effects support the enhancing effect of EI congruence, such that the relationship between follower and leader EI and follower job satisfaction is stronger at higher levels of congruence.Originality/valueThese findings are significant in that the findings are among the first to examine leader and follower EI similarity and the similarity's effect on an employee's satisfaction at work. The findings highlight new opportunities for leadership and emotion researchers to better understand the leader–follower relationship.
Evaluation of the government entrepreneurship support by a new dynamic neutrosophic operator based on time degrees
Authors: Wang Chenguang , Hu Zixin , Bao Zongke 
Published: June 2022

PurposeEntrepreneurship as a development engine has a distinct character in the economic growth of countries. Therefore, governments must support entrepreneurship in order to succeed in the future. The best way to improve the performance of this entrepreneurial advocacy is through efficient measurement methods. For this reason, the purpose of this paper is to propose a new integrated dynamic multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) model based on neutrosophic set (NS) for assessment of the government entrepreneurship support.Design/methodology/approachDue to the nature of entrepreneurship issues, which are multifaceted and full of uncertain, indeterminate and ambiguous dimensions, this measurement requires multi-criteria decision-making methods in spaces of uncertainty and indeterminacy. Also, due to the change in the size of indicators in different periods, researchers need a special type of decision model that can handle the dynamics of indicators. So, in this paper, the authors proposed a dynamic neutrosophic weighted geometric operator to aggregate dynamic neutrosophic information. Furthermore, in view of the deficiencies of current dynamic neutrosophic MADM methods a compromised model based on time degrees was proposed. The principle of time degrees was introduced, and the subjective and objective weighting methods were synthesized based on the proposed aggregated operator and a nonlinear programming problem based on the entropy concept was applied to determine the attribute weights under different time sequence.FindingsThe information of ten countries with the indicators such as connections (C), the country's level of education and experience (EE), cultural aspects (CA), government policies (GP) and funding (F) over four years was gathered and the proposed dynamic MADM model to assess the level of entrepreneurial support for these countries. The findings show that the flexibility of the model based on decision-making thought and we can see that the weights of the criteria have a considerable impact on the final evaluations.Originality/valueIn many decision areas the original decision information is usually collected at different periods. Thus, it is necessary to develop some approaches to deal with these issues. In the government entrepreneurship support problem, the researchers need tools to handle the dynamics of indicators in neutrosophic environments. Given that this issue is very important, nonetheless as far as is known, few studies have been done in this area. Furthermore, in view of the deficiencies of current dynamic neutrosophic MADM making methods a compromised model based on time degrees was proposed. Moreover, the presented neutrosophic aggregation operator is very suitable for aggregating the neutrosophic information collected at different periods. The developed approach can solve the several problems where all pieces of decision information take the form of neutrosophic information collected at different periods.
