A balanced approach: remote employees’ experiences with employee engagement and well-being
Authors: Tackett Teresa , Lemon Laura L. 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis paper aims to better understand remote and hybrid employees’ experiences with the interconnection between employee engagement and well-being in relation to the participants’ lived experiences in nontraditional work roles post-pandemic.Design/methodology/approachTo better understand how employees’ experiences with remote work underscore employee engagement and well-being in post-pandemic nontraditional work roles, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with remote and hybrid employees in various industries across the United States.FindingsThis study has three major findings. First, participants experienced employee engagement and well-being as distinct yet connected, with well-being and engagement simultaneously being positive and negative. Second, employee engagement was driven by the organization, while in some cases, well-being focused more on the individual. Third, participants discussed how their experiences reflected a cyclical connection between engagement and wellbeing.Originality/valueThe findings from this study demonstrate that employee well-being leads to employee engagement. In this way, well-being at the individual level becomes a predecessor or antecedent to employee engagement. Therefore, well-being plays a role in how engaged an employee might be. Participants also offered unique perspectives on engagement and well-being in the workplace, conceptualizing well-being and employee engagement as both micro- and meso-level outcomes.

Published: February 2025

PurposeDue to the frequent occurrence of data breaches, managing the cost of these events has become one of the biggest challenges confronting modern businesses. Firms urgently require strong security and effective event response strategies to tackle data breaches.Design/methodology/approachThis study first quantified the cost of 196 data breach events between 2016 and 2019 using the event study method and then utilized the crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis (csQCA) method to investigate the influencing mechanisms of the data breach cost from the configured perspectives of firm, event and response strategy.FindingsThe results of the event study revealed significant differences in the cost of data breaches and their influencing factors between traditional and Internet-based firms. While Internet-based firms tended to experience a negative market reaction following a data breach, traditional firms did not show the same pattern. Based on the configuration analysis, six different strategies for cost control were identified, including mitigation and apology strategies for internet-based firms and indifference, fact-statement, silence-keeping and reputation-building strategies for traditional firms.Originality/valueThe findings of this study can provide deeper insights into the market reaction to data breach events as well as their influencing mechanisms. Furthermore, this study offers practical suggestions for corporations to manage and control the strikes of data breach incidents.
Optimizing process efficiency in prefabricated building supply chain: the role of hybrid governance behaviors in reducing transaction costs

Published: February 2025

PurposePrefabricated building (PB) has been a pivotal force in advancing global building industrialization and sustainability. However, the PB supply chain operation faces significant challenges of exhausting negotiations, poor communication and imperfect information, representing high transaction costs (TCs). Existing literature inadequately addresses governance behaviors to mitigate TCs. This study aims to explore PB supply chain inefficiencies through the lens of TC theory, examining the nuanced relationships between hybrid governance behaviors and TCs and exploring effective governance strategies.Design/methodology/approachBased on the theoretical frameworks of governance behavior and TCs, this study employed semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys with PB experts in Anhui, China. Subsequently, integrated backpropagation neural network and ordered logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify critical governance behaviors and explore boundaries for TCs reduction.FindingsTCs of the PB supply chain are elevated (1) from communication and coordination; (2) during the construction and approval stages. Investigation of how governance behaviors influence the TCs indicated that (1) enterprises exert more influence than local governments; (2) governance effectiveness in the transaction and transaction environment dimensions outweighs stakeholder influence and (3) functional TCs exist in PB, associated with component manufacturing, PB contract negotiation and learning cost.Originality/valueThis study extends understanding of TCs in PB by providing nuanced insights into the nature and timing of TCs and elucidates how governance structures shape TCs. Functional TCs intrinsic to PB were identified when exploring the optimization boundaries. These insights equip local governments and enterprises with actionable knowledge to prioritize effective governance behaviors and measures.
The dynamics of conspiracy theories on social media from the diffusion of innovations perspective: the moderating role of time
Authors: Meng Xiao , Wang Xiaohui , Zhao Xinyan 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe persistence and virality of conspiracy theories online have raised significant concerns. This study revisits Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations theory to examine the spread of conspiracy theories on social media, specifically focusing on how factors influencing their diffusion evolve over time.Design/methodology/approachThe study analyzes over 1.18 million COVID-19-related tweets using a combination of natural language processing, social network analysis and machine learning techniques. It explores the dynamic roles of novelty, content negativity, influencers, echo chamber members and social bots in the diffusion of conspiracy theories.FindingsThe results indicate that novelty, influencers, echo chamber members and social bots are positively associated with the spread of conspiracy theories. The initial dissemination of conspiracy theories is primarily driven by content novelty and influencer involvement. Over time, the perpetuation of these theories becomes increasingly influenced by content negativity and the involvement of echo chamber members and social bots. Social bots serve as important connectors within echo chambers and their removal significantly reduces network cohesion.Practical implicationsThe findings provide practical guidance for social media platforms and policymakers in monitoring diffusion patterns and applying targeted interventions.Originality/valueThis study introduces a time-sensitive approach to understanding the spread of conspiracy theories on social media. By identifying the key drivers at different stages of the diffusion process, this study offers valuable insights for developing effective strategies to counteract the proliferation of conspiracy theories at various points in their lifecycle.
Market dynamics and critical responses of leading European banks to ECB’s expansionary policies
Authors: Petrakis Nikolaos , Lemonakis Christos , Floros Christos , Zopounidis Constantin 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThis paper aims to address the following research questions: How do European banking stocks react; to the European Central Bank’s (ECB) expansionary policies? Additionally, which types of expansionary measures (conventional vs. unconventional) exert the most significant influence on bank stock performance?Design/methodology/approachUtilizing an event study approach combined with panel regression analysis, this research evaluates the impact of 77 key ECB policy interventions on the stock prices of 14 large European banks from 2007 to 2020. The event windows focus on cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) over short-term and medium-term periods to capture stock reactions to both conventional and unconventional monetary measures.FindingsThe results indicate that European banking stocks respond positively to both conventional (e.g. interest rate cuts) and unconventional (e.g. asset purchases, liquidity provisions) expansionary policies. However, asset purchase programs seem to have the most substantial and sustained impact, generating stronger positive cumulative abnormal returns over longer event windows compared to other interventions.Originality/valueThis article contributes to the literature by providing a detailed analysis of how different types of ECB monetary interventions influence bank stock performance. It is the first study to analyze and compare the persistence and strength of these measures across various event windows, offering valuable insights for investors and policymakers in assessing the effectiveness of monetary policy on capital markets.Highlights(1)This paper explores how European banking stocks react to ECB’s expansionary policies.(2)It uses an event study and panel regression to assess 77 policy interventions from 2007 to 2020.(3)Asset purchases are found to have the strongest and most persistent positive effects on bank stock prices.(4)The analysis highlights the differential impact of conventional versus unconventional monetary policies on European banks.
Decision-making of educational leaders: new insights from the Iowa gambling task
Authors: Lambert Steve 
Published: February 2025

PurposeMiddle leadership in education is often considered one of the most challenging roles within educational leadership, and it is often under-conceptualised and theorised. A key role of a middle leader is making decisions. This paper presents some initial findings from a study of 22 middle leaders in England, exploring their decision-making ability.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the Iowa gambling task (IGT), a commonly used psychological tool designed to assess decision-making through risk-based activities. All participants were asked to complete the IGT online. They were asked to select one of four cards from a virtual deck. The decks yielded either a positive gain (a financial win) or a net (financial) loss. Participants repeated the selection of a card 100 times.FindingsParticipants quickly learned which decks provided a positive net gain. However, what was apparent was that between cards 40 and 60, there was a significant spike in their ability to gain net wins in the cards selected. This suggests that middle leaders are more risk-seeking when they are trying to minimise losses, as in blocks 1 to 3 in the experiment. However, once they have reached a self-determined threshold, they become risk-averse to maintaining the potential gains they have made.Research limitations/implicationsUnderstanding how leaders make decisions is particularly important if staff are to be encouraged to take responsibility and make decisions within their roles as middle leaders. However, this study has limitations, notably that only 22 participants participated.Originality/valueThis paper offers a contemporary review underpinned by a preliminary study of middle leaders' decision-making ability against a backdrop of the limited literature on this topic.

Published: February 2025

AbstractBackgroundOwing to the COVID‐19 pandemic, speech‐language therapists faced challenges in reaching children with developmental language disorders (DLDs) for a certain period. This unexpected change also had a profound impact on parents of children with DLDs. Despite its significance, there is limited research exploring the experiences of parents who were unable to consult with specialists and their perspectives on telepractice services.AimsThe primary objective of this study is to investigate the experiences of parents with children diagnosed with DLD (n = 5) related to accessing experts during the COVID‐19 pandemic.Methods and ProceduresPrior to the onset of pandemic‐related closures, assessments for children with DLDs were conducted, and plans for initiating their therapies were in place. Parents of children who were unable to commence therapy were invited to participate in the study. Interpretative phenomenological analysis principles were employed to analyse the collected data.Outcomes and ResultsThe findings are analysed under four themes. Parents initially expressed the negative impact of being unable to reach experts, which led them to independently support their children's language development. Despite reservations about telepractice, parents were willing to participate. However, they reported feeling unprepared for the abrupt transition to telepractice, particularly regarding the technical requirements, which were limited in availability.Conclusions and ImplicationsMaintaining communication with parents, particularly during crisis periods, is crucial for children in need of speech and language therapy. Providing parents with information about the therapy process, their child's language disorder, and the potential use of telepractice is essential. This approach ensures that we can offer effective support for the children.WHAT THIS PAPER ADDSWhat is already known on the subject
During COVID‐19, parents of children with developmental language disorders who were undergoing therapy experienced adverse effects. They struggled to assist their children with communication issues and were unable to seek services.What this paper adds to existing knowledge
If their children are unable to receive language and speech therapy, parents may attempt to resolve the issue on their own. It is a difficult scenario for both parents and children. To support families in this situation, alternatives ought to be sought.What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?
It is possible to make improvements to current procedures and carry out research to inform families on what to do when they are left alone with their children. Future telepractice research will benefit from the development of useful tools and insightful investigations.
Working for Moral Improvement Interpretations of Institutionalised Vagrant Women in Finland During and After the Second World War
Authors: Parhi Katariina 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThrough a focus on women's vagrancy in the metropolitan area of Finland during and after the Second World War (1942–1947), this article analyses the different kinds of information which were produced about vagrant women by correctional labour facilities. This rich source material is navigated in line with the following fundamental question: Who is speaking? Such analysis shows that work could help women to escape their vagrant status, given the demand for the workforce. The work performance was evaluated not only in the correctional labour facilities, but also in the world outside.

ABSTRACTBackgroundExisting reviews of pre‐eclampsia determinants have focused on clinical and genetic risk factors.ObjectiveTo evaluate social determinants for pre‐eclampsia prevention.Search StrategySystematic searches were conducted from relevant electronic databases from inception of each database to 30th December 2024.Selection CriteriaReviews and large cohort studies (≥ 1000 participants), published between 2013 and 2024, reporting quantitative associations between social determinant exposures and pre‐eclampsia outcomes.Data Collection and AnalysisTitles and abstracts, then relevant full‐texts were reviewed by two reviewers, independently. Strength of association was evaluated as ‘definite’ (odds ratios [OR] or relative risk [RR] ≥ 3.00 or < 0.33), ‘probable’ (OR or RR 1.50–2.99 or 0.33–0.67), ‘possible’ (OR or RR 1.10–1.49 or 0.68–0.89), or ‘unlikely’ (OR or RR 0.90–1.09). Quality of the evidence was high, moderate, low, or very‐low, using GRADE.Main ResultsTwenty‐seven publications found 24 associations of pre‐eclampsia with socioeconomic status, social support/exclusion, healthcare access, and occupational and physical environmental factors. One association (polygamy) was definite (low‐quality evidence). Probable associations included: work stress, lack of antenatal care and heat exposure in early pregnancy (high‐quality evidence); prolonged occupational exposure to whole body vibrations or bending, distance to health facility, and UV‐B radiation exposure (protective factor), all based on moderate‐quality evidence; and neighbourhood deprivation, rotating work shifts, and Asian/Oceanian origins (protective factor), all based on low‐quality evidence. There were 13 possible associations, which did not include education.ConclusionOur findings support recommendations to address climate change, strengthen occupational protection, and promote early antenatal attendance. Social determinants may be indicative of upstream factors (e.g., obesity) that increase likelihood of clinical risk factors for pre‐eclampsia incidence and severity.

ABSTRACTCardiotocography (CTG), introduced in the 1960s, was initially expected to prevent hypoxia‐related deaths and neurological injuries. However, more than five decades later, evidence supporting the evidence of intrapartum CTG in preventing neonatal and long‐term childhood morbidity and mortality remains inconclusive. At the same time, shortcomings in CTG interpretation have been recognised as important contributory factors to rising caesarean section rates and missed opportunities for timely interventions. An important limitation is its high false‐positive rate and poor specificity, which undermines reliably identifying foetuses at risk of hypoxia‐related injuries. These shortcomings are compounded by the technology's significant intra‐ and interobserver variability, as well as the subjective and complex nature of fetal heart rate interpretation. However, human factors and other environmental factors are equally significant. Advancements in fetal heart rate monitoring are crucial to support clinicians in improving health outcomes for newborns and their mothers, while at the same time avoiding unnecessary operative deliveries. These limitations highlight the clinical need to enhance neonatal outcomes while minimising unnecessary interventions, such as instrumental deliveries or caesarean sections. We believe that achieving this requires a paradigm shift from subjective interpretation of complex and nonspecific fetal heart rate patterns to evidence‐based, quantifiable solutions that integrate hardware, engineering and clinical perspectives. Such transformation necessitates an international, multidisciplinary effort encompassing the entire continuum of pregnancy care and the broader healthcare ecosystem, with emphasis on well‐defined, actionable health outcomes. Achieving this will depend on collaborations between researchers, clinicians, medical device manufacturers and other relevant stakeholders. This expert review paper outlines the most relevant and promising directions for research and strategic initiatives to address current challenges in fetal heart rate monitoring. Key themes include advancements in computerised fetal heart rate monitoring, the application of big data and artificial intelligence, innovations in home and remote monitoring and consideration of human factors.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe extensive microbial diversity found in the oceans is becoming to be uncovered despite limited knowledge and cultured representatives for many taxonomic groups. This study analysed the distribution and diversity of Planctomycetota at four water column profiles of the Eastern North Pacific subtropical front (ENPSF) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. A dual approach, utilising PacBio long‐reads and Illumina short‐reads, was employed to enhance the accuracy of taxonomic assignment and compare sequencing methods. The diversity of Planctomycetota increased below the deep chlorophyll maximum level (175–200 m) and in the mesopelagic layer (500 m), with beta‐diversity clustering distinctly separating samples according to different depths, resulting in pronounced vertical stratification. This community structure mirrors nutrient availability, as Planctomycetota favour depths between 175 and 200 m, where high nitrate levels are present. More Planctomycetota amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were identified with PacBio than with Illumina, improving detection of these bacteria. Phylogenetic analyses performed after manual curation of ASVs led to the discovery of several unknown genera of Planctomycetota, indicating that substantial diversity within this group remains to be discovered and studied in remote oligotrophic oceans.
Characterization and Extent of Illegal Trade in Jaguars and Other Felid Species via Social Media in Mexico
Authors: de la Torre J. Antonio , Duchez Kurt , Radachowsky Jeremy 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe widespread use of online platforms and social media has undoubtedly facilitated the expansion of the illegal wildlife trade into global markets. Given the increase of evidence of jaguar (Panthera onca) trade through online platforms in Mexico, our objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of online trade of jaguar and other wild felid parts. Our study focused on researching four main aspects related to the online trade of wild felids. First, we evaluated the scale of the online trade of jaguars and other wild felid species in Mexico. Second, we explored the locations where this activity is taking place and potential routes used for trade. Third, we analyzed the use given to the felid's parts. Finally, we estimated the potential number of animals traded through online platforms. We found 713 posts that included elements of wild felids trade in Mexico, with 60 locations and 157 users. Nine species were identified, including five native species to Mexico and four non‐native species. Our findings strongly assert that the trade of jaguars and other wild felid species parts through online platforms poses an imminent threat to these species. Data collected indicate that the online trade of these species has evolved into a widespread activity that is not solely opportunistic or locally focused. This suggests the existence of a more complex network in which online platforms facilitate communication between traders in Mexico and potential buyers in other countries. Online illegal trade of wild felids in Mexico was estimated to have involved at least ~$2,000,000 USD over the last 10 years. It is crucial to encourage local authorities to implement online platform monitoring and develop intervention strategies to prevent this activity from reaching unsustainable levels that could significantly impact the wild populations of these species.
