Making or remaking people and places through festivals: an island tourism perspective
Authors: Li Yiping , Lau Chammy 
Published: February 2022

PurposeThis study aims to investigate two festivals that are held annually in Hong Kong, to explore the essence of festival meanings – the extent to which the perceived sociocultural benefits of festivals articulate the production of a sense of place (SOP) and its respective locality.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilises a comparative analysis approach to examine visitors’ views of the festivals. It constructs a theoretical framework of the interaction mechanism between tourism and place evolution by relying largely on the notion of place as the centre of meanings. Data sources include interview, questionnaire, observation and a literature review.FindingsThe findings suggest festival meanings are crucial elements in fostering SOP and shaping the identification of place uniqueness. Being part of local tradition and tourism resource, festival representations are not only passive reflections of prevailing cultural values drawn from current stereotypes and images, but they also play a prominent role in shaping values, behaviours and identities by contributing to the socialisation process. Cultural regeneration through festivals may ultimately contribute to the ontological construction of a place.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the unknown profile of the participants to both festivals, this study employed a convenience sampling method which might have limited the power of generalising the research outcome to other festivals. Besides, this study overlooked the potential differences (or lack of difference) in perceptions of the local residents who visited both festivals for the first time and other residents. Future studies may consider other aspects of festivals and place conceptions widely used in the tourism research field, to validate whether additional insights or hidden festival-to-place relationships can be found in the process of hosting and promoting festivals.Originality/valueThe existing studies of tourism–place relationship, especially those repelling scientific-positivist methodological paradigm, tend to overemphasise the role of tourism in unmaking places. In contrast, the interrogation of island festivals as the centre of meaning offers an alternative perspective to highlight the process that tourism dialectically contributes to place evolution. Tourism unmakes places while possessing a dialectic role of making places.

Published: February 2022

PurposeThe prevalence and multi-system nature of post-COVID-19 symptoms warrants clearer understanding of their work ability implications within the working age population. An exploratory survey was undertaken to provide empirical evidence of the work-relevant experiences of workers recovering from COVID-19.Design/methodology/approachA bespoke online survey based on a biopsychosocial framework ran between December 2020 and February 2021. It collected quantitative ratings of work ability and return-to-work status, qualitative responses about return-to-work experiences, obstacles and recommendations, along with views on employer benefits for making accommodations. A sample of 145 UK workers recovering from COVID-19 was recruited via social media, professional networks and industry contacts. Qualitative data was subject to thematic analysis. Participants were mainly from health/social care (50%) and educational settings (14%).FindingsJust over 90% indicated that they had experienced at least some post-COVID-19 symptoms, notably fatigue and cognitive effects. For 55%, symptoms lasted longer than six months. Only 15% had managed a full return-to-work. Of the 88 who provided workability ratings, just 13 and 18% respectively rated their physical and mental workability as good or very good. Difficulties in resuming work were attributed to symptom unpredictability, their interaction with job demands, managing symptoms and demands in parallel, unhelpful attitudes and expectations. Manager and peer support was reported as variable.Originality/valueWorkplace health management characterised by flexible long-term collaborative return-to-work planning, supported by more COVID-centric absence policies and organisational cultures, appear pivotal for sustaining the return-to-work of the large segments of the global workforce affected by post-COVID-19 symptoms.
Femininity penalty: challenges and barriers faced by STEM woman entrepreneurs in an emerging economy
Authors: Adikaram Arosha S. , Razik Ruwaiha 
Published: February 2022

Purpose
This study aims to explore the challenges and barriers encountered by Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) women entrepreneurs in an emerging country context – Sri Lanka – within a context of strict gender role stereotyping beliefs and norms.

Design/methodology/approach
Using qualitative research methodology, 15 in-depth, in-person, semi-structured interviews were conducted with STEM women entrepreneurs using the theoretical lenses of intersectionality and social role theories in tandem.

Findings
Findings revealed that participants were confronted with an array of structural/administrative and gender-related challenges at the intersections of gender, entrepreneurship and characteristics mapped with STEM fields. Accordingly, lack of access and reach to networks and opportunities, procedural obstacles, difficulties in staffing, difficulties in obtaining finances, lack of understanding and support from family and society, difficulties in managing work-life, and legitimacy obstacles appear to restrain the participants in starting and running their businesses. These challenges have their roots embedded in a complex web of ideologies and expectations related to gender.

Originality/value
This research contributes to the scant body of literature on STEM women entrepreneurship in general and specifically to the literature on challenges facing STEM women entrepreneurs from the perspective of a non-Western – emerging economy, which is built on strong cultural strictures and gender ideologies.
Citizenship fatigue and psychological ownership among employees in family hotels: moderating effect of family management
Authors: Azila-Gbettor Edem Maxwell 
Published: February 2022

PurposeThis paper examines the relationships between citizenship fatigue, organisational- and job-based psychological ownership and family management among family hotel employees in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachA total of 479 workers took part in the study by completing either a self-reported questionnaire or an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The hotels and respondents were selected using purposive and convenience sampling techniques, respectively. IBM SPSS version 21 and partial least squares structural equation model were used to process and analyse the data.FindingsCitizenship fatigue was found to be a negative predictor of organisational- and job-based psychological ownership. Additionally, job- and organisational-based psychological ownership were positively predicted by family management. Furthermore, family management positively moderates the relation between citizenship fatigue and organisational- and job-based psychological ownership.Originality/valueThis study appears to be one of the first to have investigated a model linking family management, citizenship fatigue and psychological ownership in the family hotel context.

Authors: Ongsakul Viput , Kajla Tanveer , Raj Sahil , Khoa Tran Tien , Ahmed Zafar U. 
Published: February 2022

Purpose
The paper aims to find the preferences of different tourist type. Since, COVID-19 pandemic has brought the international hospitality industry to a standstill, there are some early signs of recovery. For this industry’s long-term recovery, the tourists’ changing preferences need to be analyzed. Moreover, with different types of tourists, a more nuanced and in-depth study is required to analyze the preferences of each tourist type.

Design/methodology/approach
The research focuses on the changing preferences of the tourist by comparatively analyzing the pre-COVID-19 and current COVID-19 phase. The study extracted online data from TripAdvisor and identified themes by applying Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA).

Findings
The study’s findings confirmed the change in preferences of the different types of tourists during the COVID-19 pandemic by performing thematic analysis. New themes emerged in the pandemic phase, providing more insights into tourists’ changing preferences in the current COVID-19 phase. The study also found that specific dominant themes in the pre-COVID-19 phase were replaced by new themes in the current COVID-19 phase.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to compare the pre-COVID-19 and current COVID-19 phase themes to decipher the new themes that managers of the hotels should consider to win back tourists’ confidence during the pandemic. The unraveling of changing preferences of the different tourist types in the current COVID-19 pandemic is the novel contribution of the study.
Organizational capabilities and value creation for stakeholders: evidence from publicly traded companies
Authors: Barakat Simone R. , Boaventura João Maurício G. , Gabriel Marcelo L.D.S. 
Published: February 2022

PurposeThis paper investigates specific organizational capabilities related to stakeholder relationship capability and the effect of the latter on value creation.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose and test whether organizational capabilities related to knowledge, engagement, moral and adaptation are positively related to stakeholder relationship capability. The authors then test the effect of stakeholder relationship capability on the creation of greater value for stakeholders. The study tests the hypotheses with paneled data composed of a sample of 116 publicly traded companies in Brazil for a total of 275 observations taken over three years.FindingsThe findings show that there is a positive and significant relationship between knowledge, engagement, moral and adaptation capabilities and stakeholder relationship capability. Stakeholder relationship capability has been shown to have a positive and significant effect on greater value creation for stakeholders.Practical implicationsAnalysis of the processes and practices that serve as the basis for each capability is meaningful for managerial practices, as it offers a more detailed understanding of the routines pertaining to each capability. Practical discussions on operational procedure levels are a meaningful and attainable way for managers to apply stakeholder theory.Originality/valueThe investigation of the specific capabilities enabling value creation between the company and its stakeholders contributes to the discussion of the connections between stakeholder theory and the resource-based view (RBV).
Non-profit sport collaboration effectiveness: how do the partner selection factors and the collaboration process matter?
Authors: Lefebvre Arthur , Zeimers Géraldine , Zintz Thierry 
Published: February 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between partner selection factors and effectiveness of collaboration between sport clubs, as well as the mediating role of collaboration process dimensions on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachData were collected via an online survey targeting representatives of sport clubs in Belgium (n = 631). Hierarchical multiple linear regression and mediation analyses were conducted using SPSS macro PROCESS.FindingsThe results indicate that two partner selection factors – shared vision and pre-existing relationships – are related to collaboration effectiveness. Moreover, this association is mediated by the collaboration process and, more particularly, by two informal (social) dimensions of this process: mutuality and trust.Practical implicationsPractically, this study suggests sport clubs representatives to chiefly pay attention to partner selection characteristics when deciding to collaborate with other sport clubs. They should assess their potential partners and eventually choose sport clubs that share a similar vision and/or with whom they already have pre-existing relationships.Originality/valueThis paper extends knowledge on non-profit sport collaboration effectiveness by empirically examining its relationship to the partner selection factors and collaboration process. It helps establish the distinctiveness of this collaboration form. The paper also brings new knowledge on the interconnections between antecedents, process and effectiveness of sport collaboration.

Authors: Butler Steve , Smith Simon M. 
Published: February 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the establishment of a National Pension Tracing Day in an attempt to address the national problem of employees not telling their pension provider when they change address, which has resulted in £19.4bn in unclaimed pensions.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper considers the approach taken by Punter Southall Aspire to build employee engagement to trace lost workplace pension through a summative content analysis. This paper then applies an ambidextrous leadership lens to develop greater meaning.

Findings
The combination of a simple narrative, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach allowing cooperation across the industry and an engaging campaign allowed the first National Pension Tracing Day to build momentum and spread across the workplace.

Originality/value
The first National Pension Tracing day was established on 31 October 2021 by a small team within an small and medium-sized enterprise (SME). This paper attempts to raise awareness of how the lost pension challenge can be addressed for the purpose of future research.
Evaluating Jamaica’s position as a seafarer-supplying country for cruise and cargo
Authors: Wilson Deron Danario 
Published: February 2022

PurposeThe maritime industry is crucial to the global economy and the scarcity of seafarers is an urgent concern. Seafarers are in short supply right now and will continue to be so in the foreseeable future. This study interrogates Jamaica’s position as a seafarer labour market through the prism of the industry’s apparent scarcity of seafarers (officers) while examining Jamaica’s maritime education and training system as a tool for nation-building. Previous studies have almost exclusively focused on specific jurisdictions, but as far as we know, very little research has investigated Jamaica as a maritime labour market.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aim of this study, mixed-method research was applied in collecting and analyzing data.FindingsThe study revealed that Jamaican seafarers possess several positive attributes such as good communication skills, they are typically well trained and have good cross-cultural skills, making them compatible with a multicultural crew. However, the supply of Jamaican seafarers continues to be low due to several challenges, including a lack of government support for the sector, lack of key stakeholder collaboration and a lack of awareness about career prospects.Research limitations/implicationsThe topic of seafarer supply is a broad one, and due to its scope and practical limitations, detailed statistical studies were not undertaken. As a result, further work is needed to establish more precise correlations between the essential variables.Practical implicationsMany findings point to Jamaica’s strengths as a provider of seafarers, yet problems and obstacles were also mentioned. The study’s findings point to a lack of maritime awareness among youth, as well as, perhaps surprisingly, among stakeholders and policymakers. The paper provides a holistic report on Jamaica’s status as a seafaring supply country that policymakers can use to inform policy and to upscale Jamaica’s seafaring output.Social implicationsA career as a seafarer can be both intriguing and lucrative. Hence, creating a conducive environment that promotes training, world-class certification and seafarers’ employment may increase seafarers’ output and, by extension, contribute to Jamaica’s economy and nation-building.Originality/valueJamaica’s status as a maritime labour market is insufficiently studied and as a result several key questions and notions have not as yet been discussed. This study explores the maritime labour market in Jamaica and documents what exists.
Impact of obesity on uterine contractile activity during labour: A blinded analysis of a randomised controlled trial cohort
Authors: Hautakangas Tuija , Uotila Jukka , Kontiainen Joel , Huhtala Heini , Palomäki Outi 
Published: February 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the impact of severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] ≥35 kg/m2) on uterine contractile activity. The hypothesis was that obese parturients might have weaker uterine activity and need more oxytocin than leaner parturients.DesignExploratory, blinded analysis of a randomised controlled trial cohort.SettingTwo labour wards, one in a university tertiary hospital and one in a central hospital.PopulationIn all, 686 parturients with singleton pregnancies, gestational age ≥37 weeks, fetus in cephalic presentation, and intrauterine tocodynamometry during labour. [Correction added on 6 June 2022, after first online publication: the number of parturients has been corrected to 686.]MethodsUterine contractile activity was assessed as intrauterine pressure, frequency of contractions and basal tonus of uterine muscle. The use of oxytocin and cervical dilatation were recorded simultaneously.Main outcome measuresPrimary outcome: uterine contractile activity. Secondary outcomes: use of oxytocin, labour outcomes.ResultsObese parturients reached intrauterine pressure ≥200 Montevideo units (MVU) during the first stage of labour more often than leaner parturients; 62% vs 49%; odds ratio [OR] 1.67 (95% CI 1.05–2.67) and had higher basal tone of uterine muscle. However, obese parturients without previous vaginal delivery were not able to reach the active stage of labour as often as leaner ones, and their vaginal delivery success rate was lower. If a parturient had had previous vaginal delivery, obesity did not influence uterine activity, nor was there a risk of caesarean section. Doses and total consumption of oxytocin did not differ between BMI groups.ConclusionsObese nulliparas have stronger uterine contractile activity than leaner ones, but they more often fail to reach the active phase of labour and their vaginal delivery success rate is lower.Tweetable abstractDespite higher strength of uterine contractions among obese parturients, they reach the active stage of labour less often than leaner ones.
State‐owned capital and corporate social responsibility of private‐holding companies: evidence from China
Authors: Zhang Tao , Gu Lishi , Wang Jenny Jing 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe undertaking of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a topic of widespread concern in society. Utilising a sample of 9872 private‐holding companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen securities markets from 2009 to 2019, this study examines the impact of state‐owned capital on CSR activities. We find that CSR is enhanced when the proportion of state‐owned capital in a private‐holding listed company exceeds 5 percent. The appointment of directors, supervisors, and senior management by state‐owned shareholders, and the participation of state‐owned investment in company operation further promote the fulfilment of CSR in private‐holding listed companies. This research not only enriches the literature on the economic consequences of state‐owned equity holdings in private companies, but also provides empirical evidence regarding the outcomes of improvement of corporate governance mechanisms.
Impact of delivery rate on the acute response to intravenous nicotine: A human laboratory study with implications for regulatory science
Authors: De Aquino Joao P. , MacLean R. Ross , Gueorguieva Ralitza , DeVito Elise E. , Eid Tore , Sofuoglu Mehmet 
Published: February 2022

AbstractFaster delivery rate enhances the abuse potential of drugs of abuse, yet systematic studies on the impact of delivery rate on the acute effects of nicotine in humans are lacking. Using an intravenous (IV) nicotine infusion procedure that allows precise control of rate of delivery, we examined the impact of nicotine delivery rate on the positive subjective drug effects, smoking urges, withdrawal, heart rate, blood pressure and attention function in smokers. Twenty‐four male and female (ages 21–35) dependent smokers attended five experimental sessions, following overnight abstinence from smoking. Using a crossover design, participants attended five sessions, where they were assigned to a random sequence of saline infusion or 1 mg nicotine delivered over 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 min at rates of 1, 0.4, 0.2 or 0.1 mg/min, respectively. The positive subjective effects of nicotine were most robust under the two faster delivery rate conditions, 1‐ and 0.4‐mg nicotine/min. In contrast, all nicotine delivery rates were equally more effective than saline in alleviating urges to smoke. Likewise, nicotine‐induced heart rate increases did not vary with the rate of nicotine delivery. Lastly, the cognitive enhancing effects of nicotine were observed only under the two slowest delivery rate conditions—0.1‐ and 0.2‐mg nicotine/min. Collectively, these findings support the critical role of delivery rate in optimizing nicotine's abuse potential versus potential therapeutic effects and have timely implications for developing novel therapeutics for nicotine dependence, as well as for tobacco regulatory science.
Impacts of agricultural taxation in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Insights from agricultural produce cess in Tanzania
Authors: Louhichi Kamel , Ricome Aymeric , Gomez y Paloma Sergio 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis article analyses the economic impacts of agricultural produce cess in Tanzania and compares its effectiveness with alternative reform options relying on its removal or reduction. Produce cess is one of the common forms of agricultural taxation in Sub‐Saharan Africa. This analysis is performed using the farm‐household model FSSIM‐Dev, which is applied to a country representative sample of 3134 individual farm households taken from the 2012/2013 Tanzania National Panel Survey. Simulations show that the current produce cess is rather high and its removal or reduction would increase production intensity and boost farm income, ranging between +2% and +21% depending on options and regions. These positive impacts are driven by land productivity improvement rather than area reallocation. The largest impacts are experienced in northern and western highlands. Large farms and farms specialized in cash crops tend to gain more from the abolishment or reduction of produce cess. The increase in both production and income is, however, not sufficient to significantly reduce rural poverty and improve nutrition security. Finally, results show that a uniform cess rate of 1% for all crops seems to be the most appropriate policy option. It gives the best trade‐off between government revenue loss and farmers’ economic gain.
