Exploring the recipients' attitudes and behaviors toward gift-giving: a cross-cultural comparison between Thailand and the USA
Authors: Pusaksrikit Theeranuch , Chinchanachokchai Sydney 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis research examines cultural differences between Thais and Americans in recipients' attitudes and behaviors throughout all three stages of Sherry's (1983) gift-giving model and the moderating effect of relationship closeness on the gift-giving process.Design/methodology/approachThree experiments tested recipients' attitudes and behaviors across cultures in each gift-giving stage. Study 1 explored the gestation stage (gift search and purchase). Study 2 tested recipients in the prestation stage (actual exchange), and Study 3 examined the reformulation stage (gift disposition and realignment of the relationship).FindingsResults show that relationship closeness between the giver and the recipient plays a role among interdependent self-construals. Thais (interdependent self-construals) are more likely to give a hint or make a request for a gift to close friends than distant friends and are also more likely to accept, keep and use gifts from close friends than from distant friends. Moreover, for interdependent self-construals, a gift from a close friend improved the relationship more than a gift from a distant friend. In contrast, Americans (independent self-construals) present no differences between close and distant friends.Originality/valueThis research provides a comprehensive picture of the recipient's perspective in cross-cultural gift-giving and expands the notion of relationship closeness as a moderator.
Exploring the role of brand–sustainability–self-congruence on consumers' evaluation of luxury brands
Authors: Kumagai Ken 
Published: December 2022

PurposeWith increasing managerial attention on the strategic promotion of brand-related sustainability initiatives (BSI), this study explores the psychological role of image congruence of the triad comprising brand, BSI and self-concept (brand–sustainability–self-congruence; BSSC). The study assesses the predictive effect of BSSC on consumers' brand evaluations and its variation according to the brand types and consumers' attributes. The purpose is to provide managerial suggestions as well as theoretical implications to build an effective BSI strategy from the perspective of consumer psychology.Design/methodology/approachThe data from 409 respondents in Japan are assessed to discuss the relationships among BSSC based on actual/ideal self-concept (actual/ideal BSSC), brand trust, brand affect and purchase intention according to hypothetical BSI settings.FindingsThe results suggest a significant role of BSSC in consumers' brand evaluation mechanisms associated with BSI: mostly, actual BSSC affects non-luxury brand evaluation, while ideal BSSC affects luxury brand evaluation. Likewise, the effects of actual/ideal BSSC seem to vary according to consumers' income levels.Practical implicationsThe results suggest that managers strategically consider consumer psychology of brand evaluation with actual/ideal BSSC, income levels and brand attributes such as luxury level in BSI planning. Thus, they may predict its contribution to brand equity, leading to companies' performance being compatible with environmental contribution.Originality/valueThis study uniquely extends the self-congruity theory and discusses the psychological brand evaluation mechanism comprising BSSC, presenting the switching role of actual/ideal self-concept according to brand types and consumers' attributes.
Entrepreneurs have what it takes: positively-distinct entrepreneurial social identity as realized during intra- and intergroup conversations
Authors: Hajek Christopher 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study explores aspects of entrepreneurial social identity that are made salient in communication, and that are related to positive group distinctiveness.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs a thematic analysis methodology, and the analysis is sensitized by social identity theory and related concepts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 43 entrepreneurs in several US cities. The women and men discussed the nature of their entrepreneurial identities, and the relationship of past intra- and intergroup conversations to their realizations of a positively-distinct entrepreneurial identity. Open and axial coding of the entrepreneurs' verbal conversational content was conducted.FindingsThe analyses revealed four themes (and nine accompanying sub-themes) that represented dimensions of entrepreneurial social identity that were related to positive group distinctiveness.Practical implicationsFindings may prove useful for mutual understanding among current and aspiring entrepreneurs, and for educators and managers with an interest in encouraging entrepreneurial mindsets through training program development.Originality/valueThis study is unique not only in its adoption of an intergroup comparison approach to entrepreneurship that integrates recalled past communication, but also in its focus on positive in-group distinctiveness. The desire for this psychological state may be one motivating force guiding the content of entrepreneurial identity, and it may, for some individuals, be one factor that drives the pursuit of entrepreneurship itself. This study offers themes that break new ground in illuminating dimensions derived from recalled conversational content that entrepreneurs considered key to positive identity salience.
Anticipating the antecedents of feedback-seeking behavior in digital environments: a socio-technical system perspective

Published: December 2022

PurposeFeedback-seeking behavior is an important way for individuals to actively seek information feedback to achieve individuals' goals. In the environment driven by contactless digital technologies, the way of individual feedback-seeking behavior through monitoring indirectly becomes obvious, especially for people who complete the work online in digital collaboration. However, previous empirical research on feedback-seeking behavior mainly focused on direct inquiry. The purpose of this paper is to verify the impact of individual learning goal orientation and the digital feedback environment on individuals' feedback-seeking behaviors through inquiry and monitoring approaches. And the moderating effect of time pressure on these relationships was also investigated.Design/methodology/approachBased on socio-technical system theory, this study proposes a model to describe the formation of the two approaches of feedback-seeking behaviors (inquiry and monitoring). The hypotheses were examined with the structural equation model method and data were collected from 152 graduate students who completed online surveys.FindingsThe results show that both the digital feedback environment and learning goal orientation can promote individual inquiry and monitoring approaches of feedback-seeking. Furthermore, time pressure moderates the relationship between the digital feedback environment and feedback monitoring negatively.Originality/valueThis study establishes an antecedent model that influences the choice of feedback-seeking approaches in digital environments from the perspective of a socio-technical system. The empirical results supplement the explanation of the influence of both technical and social factors on individual feedback-seeking behavior in digital environments.
Roles of organizational learning culture in promoting innovation
Authors: Achdiat Isnaeni , Mulyani Sri , Azis Yudi , Sukmadilaga Citra 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the relationship between organizational learning (OL) culture (OLC) and innovation. This study also aims to determine the patterns by which the concepts of OLC/learning organization (LO)/OL and OL capability are interrelated and have an impact on innovation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study emphasized the analysis of 42 literature reviews, which contained the variables of OLC/LO/OL and innovation.

Findings
A holistic perception of OLC/LO/OL and its relationship with the constructs of innovation was provided. In this case, more reports emphasized the indirect correlation of OLC with innovation, through intervening variables. This indicated that OLC enabled innovation through several internal and external aspects, as well as balancing between flexibility and control in promoting OLC. As part of the OL process, information, acquisition, distribution, interpretation and dissemination were also consistently related to innovation, which escalated the company's ability in becoming an LO. This proved that a group of employees needs to share a similar belief in promoting work unit innovation, because of the importance of continuous formal and informal learning in a well-structured internal organization system. In this case, external factors need to be highly considered, including competitors and clients.

Originality/value
This study is among the earliest to review the literature about the relationship between OLC and innovation. This study also provides recommendations for enhancing OLC in promoting innovation.
Quality‐efficiency trade‐off when the state is the sole provider of hospital services: Evidence from New Zealand
Authors: Andrews Antony , Sahoo Biresh K. , Temoso Omphile , Kimpton Sean 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to explore the trade‐off between technical efficiency and the quality of hospital services when the state is the sole provider. Data from 20 New Zealand District Health Boards from 2011 to 2017 is used to estimate technical efficiency using the data envelopment analysis technique, which employs an additive inverse formulation for undesirable outcomes. The estimated average quality‐adjusted technical efficiency score is 0.69. In comparison, when the quality variable was removed, the efficiency declined to 0.66. More importantly, the ranking of district health boards stays consistent across both models, indicating that there is very little trade‐off between quality and efficiency. A sensitivity analysis also confirms the lack of a trade‐off between quality and efficiency.
Beyond the double blind spot: Relocating communist women as transgressive subjects in contemporary historiography
Authors: Strazzeri Victor 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACTThis article identifies a specific historiographical gap obfuscating communist women, namely, a ‘double blind spot’ rooted in the combined effect of the scant consideration of women in histories of communism and of communist activists in accounts of the women's movement. It traces this pattern of invisibilisation back to the paradigm of communist women's ‘instrumentalisation’ and to the resulting paradox of an ‘activism without agency’. The article then provides a critique of this received image; first, through an analysis of emerging scholarship on the female communist experience; second, through recourse to actors’ own perspective on the rapport between communism and feminism and the possibilities of ‘double militancy’, drawn from sources of the post‐1968 Italian context. It closes with an argument for relocating communist women as an unexpectedly transgressive subject of twentieth‐century history.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundThis article presents a patient who was initially diagnosed as having granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and was later diagnosed as having chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in adulthood. We aimed to raise awareness of CGD, which can be confused with rheumatic diseases.Case ReportWe present a 33‐year‐old male patient with CGD with recurrent opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections who was diagnosed as having GPA, and had a history of recurrent lung infections and brain abscesses since childhood. The patient, who had cavitary lesions in the lung and mucosal lesions in the nose, was diagnosed as having GPA based on antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity. CGD was suspected in his last hospitalization after the patient underwent a nitro blue tetrazolium test. Accordingly, neutrophil oxidative function was tested using a dihydrorhodamine assay, which confirmed CGD. Molecular analysis of the patient revealed that the NCF1 gene had a GT deletion at the beginning of exon 2. Our patient was diagnosed as having late‐onset CGD; he is currently well and taking antibiotic prophylaxis.ConclusionAs a result of the altered humoral immune response in CGD, there is unregulated inflammation and sustained antigen stimulation. This excessive inflammatory response can be confused with autoimmune diseases and cause delays in diagnosis. This case is important in the differential diagnosis of CGD in adult patients with recurrent opportunistic infections.
Work as a social risk factor in pregnancy: A systematic review of screening practices related to working conditions and family leave among pregnant adults

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundPaid family leave and working conditions are components of employment quality—a key social determinant of health across the life course, particularly during pregnancy. Increased research on prenatal social risk screening has not extended to employment quality. The objective of this systematic review was to identify prenatal screening practices and interventions in health care settings that address employment and working conditions as social risk factors among pregnant adults and to describe their properties and key findings.MethodWe searched MEDLINE, PsychINFO, SocINDEX, EMBASE, and the SIREN Evidence and Resource Library for studies published through February 14, 2022. We selected multiple search terms related to four domains: (1) employment or working conditions; (2) screening; (3) health care settings; and (4) pregnancy or maternal health.ResultsOf the 2317 unique titles and abstracts that were potentially relevant, eight articles met all inclusion criteria and focused on pregnant populations. The content of identified screening practices varied substantially, highlighting the multiple ways employment is conceptualized as a potential risk factor. Few studies included multidimensional measures of employment to assess working conditions, which may be particularly relevant during pregnancy.ConclusionsOur review suggests that screening for employment as a social risk factor does not regularly occur in prenatal care. Although pragmatic properties of the screening tools we assessed are promising, tools seldom examine the multidimensional nature of work. Understanding the principal intent of screening for employment prenatally could provide greater opportunity to collect and interpret contextual factors that influence how both providers and patients respond to social risk.
Use of technology by older adults with an intellectual disability in Ireland to support health, well‐being and social inclusion during the COVID‐19 pandemic
Authors: McCausland Darren , McCarron Mary , McCallion Philip 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundBefore COVID‐19, people with intellectual disabilities were digitally excluded, facing difficulties accessing and using technology. The pandemic outbreak closed down many in‐person services and supports for this population.MethodsThis study examined changes in technology use to support the healthcare and social connections of older adults with intellectual disability in Ireland (n = 682) during COVID‐19. Decision tree analyses explored factors associated with using technology for health and social connection; and to explore relationships between technology use and subjective outcomes of stress/anxiety and of positives during this period.FindingsTechnology use for healthcare and social connection increased during COVID‐19, but not enough to make up for the loss of in‐person care/connection. Residence type was associated with increased use of technology for healthcare utilisation, with the highest rates among community group home residents and the lowest among those in independent/family settings. Increased technology use to speak with both family and friends was associated with prior digital skills and digital access. Increased technology use was significantly associated with both positive and negative experiences during the pandemic.ConclusionsThe COVID‐19 pandemic offered an opportunity for increased digital connection for older adults with intellectual disabilities, but not all benefitted. Those with prior skills, available supports, and the greatest need to connect were more likely to enhance their use of technology. The complexity of the COVID‐19 period, including the general impact on mental health and well‐being, means that the role technology played in supporting quality of life and mitigating stress/anxiety needs further and longer‐term investigation.

ABSTRACTNaturally regenerating forests or secondary forests (SFs) are a promising strategy for restoring large expanses of tropical forests at low cost and with high environmental benefits. This expectation is supported by the high resilience of tropical forests after natural disturbances, yet this resilience can be severely reduced by human impacts. Assessing the characteristics of SFs and their ecological integrity (EI) is essential to evaluating their role for conservation, restoration, and provisioning of ecosystem services. In this study, we aim to propose a concept and indicators that allow the assessment and classification of the EI of SFs. To this end, we review the literature to assess how EI has been addressed in different ecosystems and which indicators of EI are most commonly used for tropical forests. Building upon this knowledge we propose a modification of the concept of EI to embrace SFs and suggest indicators of EI that can be applied to different successional stages or stand ages. Additionally, we relate these indicators to ecosystem service provision in order to support the practical application of the theory. EI is generally defined as the ability of ecosystems to support and maintain composition, structure and function similar to the reference conditions of an undisturbed ecosystem. This definition does not consider the temporal dynamics of recovering ecosystems, such as SFs. Therefore, we suggest incorporation of an optimal successional trajectory as a reference in addition to the old‐growth forest reference. The optimal successional trajectory represents the maximum EI that can be attained at each successional stage in a given region and enables the evaluation of EI at any given age class. We further suggest a list of indicators, the main ones being: compositional indicators (species diversity/richness and indicator species); structural indicators (basal area, heterogeneity of basal area and canopy cover); function indicators (tree growth and mortality); and landscape proxies (landscape heterogeneity, landscape connectivity). Finally, we discuss how this approach can assist in defining the value of SF patches to provide ecosystem services, restore forests and contribute to ecosystem conservation.
Transient effects of corridors on polygyne fire ants over a decade

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Although corridors are frequently regarded as a way to mitigate the negative effects of habitat fragmentation, concerns persist that corridors may facilitate the spread of invasive species to the detriment of native species.
The invasive fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, has two social forms. The polygyne form has limited dispersal abilities relative to the monogyne form. Our previous work in a large‐scale corridor experiment showed that in landscapes dominated by the polygyne form, fire ant density was higher and native ant species richness was lower in habitat patches connected by corridors than in unconnected patches.
We expected that these observed corridor effects would be transient, that is, that fire ant density and native ant species richness differences between connected and unconnected patches would diminish over time as fire ants eventually fully established within patches. We tested this prediction by resampling the three landscapes dominated by polygyne fire ants 6 to 11 years after our original study.
Differences in fire ant density between connected and unconnected habitat patches in these landscapes decreased, as expected. Differences in native ant species richness were variable but lowest in the last 2 years of sampling.
These findings support our prediction of transient corridor effects on this invasive ant and stress the importance of temporal dynamics in assessing population and community impacts of habitat connectivity.

Published: December 2022

AbstractIn this paper, quartz fiber‐reinforced silica matrix SiO2f/SiO2 composites were prepared by the precursor impregnation‐heat treatment method using quartz fiber needle felt as the reinforcement and silica sol as the precursor. The effects of particle size in silica sol (10, 50, and 100 nm) on the density, apparent porosity, mechanical properties, and thermal properties of SiO2f/SiO2 composites were investigated. The phase composition and microstructure of the composites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity of composites were measured by a push rod method and the laser method. The results show that the density, apparent porosity, and mechanical strength of the specimens firstly increase and then decrease with the increase in the particle size in silica sol. The sample using silica sol with particle size 50 nm has the optimum overall performances (i.e., the flexural strength of 13.7 MPa and the compressive strength of 59.8 MPa), and shows a ductile fracture behavior. At 300°C–700°C, the average thermal expansion coefficient of the optimal sample is .783 × 10−6/°C. And the thermal conductivity of the samples increases with the increase in temperature, and it reached the highest value of .810 W/(m·K) at 700°C. The SiO2f/SiO2 composites show obvious advantages in the application of load‐bearing and thermal insulation integration, and they are expected to meet the demanding requirements of hot‐pressing sintering and non‐ferrous metallurgy industries.
