Corporate governance and earnings quality: the behavioral theory of corporate governance (evidence from Iran)
Authors: Rezaee Zabihollah , Safarzadeh Mohammad Hossein 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate governance (CG) and various measures of earnings quality in listed companies on Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). The theoretical intuition for prediction of any relationship between earnings quality and CG is based on the behavioral theory and the institutional settings in Iran.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used the data of 117 listed companies on the TSE for the period from 2005 to 2019. The authors use panel data regression as the main methodology, along with principal component analysis, t-test and rank-sum test.

Findings
This study finds that the CG has a positive association with earnings quality. More precisely, better CG mechanisms cause lower earnings smoothness, more predictable and persistent earnings, and higher levels of timeliness, conservatism and value relevance. The relationship between CG and earnings quality is statistically and economically significant for all models.

Originality/value
The findings further the understanding of the role of CG in improving earnings quality in an Islamic and emerging country. First, this study provides evidence on the relation between CG and earnings quality by focusing on the behavioral theory, which suggests that corporate decision-making is not only influenced by formal CG mechanisms, but also by informal CG arrangements. In this case, this study departs from the restrictive theories (specifically, agency theory) that are widely used in past literature. Second, this study constructs an index that fits to corporate context of Iran rather than applying indexes introduced in Anglo-American environments.
Threshold effects of board gender diversity on firm performance: panel smooth transition regression model
Authors: Gharbi Sami , Othmani Hidaya 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThis study aims to investigate whether threshold effects exist in the relationship between board gender diversity and firm performance.Design/methodology/approachThis study applies the panel smooth threshold regression model (PSTR) to a sample of 284 non-financial French firms listed on Euronext Paris over the period 2009–2017. Firm performance proxies are Tobin’s Q and return on assets (ROA). The board gender diversity is measured by the percentage of women participation in board.FindingsThreshold effects in the relationships between board gender diversity and firm performance measures are found. For Tobin’s Q, the model has one threshold at the 34.17% of women directors’ appointment on boards. Similarly, for ROA, the model has one threshold at the 38.28% of women presence in the board. The results show that above the estimated threshold, women directorship has a positive impact on firm performance. However, below the threshold, there is a neutral relationship. The findings support the critical mass view that a minimum of one third women representation in board is compulsory to achieve the desired effect of gender diversity.Practical implicationsThis study’s finding provides useful insights to managers, investors and policymakers. Managers and investors can identify the adequate board gender diversity levels that enhance firm performance. Policymakers are divided on whether mandatory or voluntary board gender quota should be adopted. This study suggests that a quota of one third can be used in policy implementation.Originality/valueUnlike prior studies that consider the relationship between firm performance and board gender diversity as linear, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the threshold effects in this relationship using a new econometric approach.
“Resurrecting the glorious tradition”: Spanish liberalism’s controversy regarding the university, academic freedom and secular knowledge in the late 19th-century
Authors: Muñoz Sanz-Agero María , Lemke Duque Carl Antonius 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThis study provides a new look at the late 19th-century university issue in Spain. Loss of self-government among universities and the state’s centralization brought a conflict between science and religion to the fore in the process of the secularization of knowledge.Design/methodology/approachWe first delve into the anti-Darwinian framework associated with the scientific professionalization process, focusing on the case of the jurist Antonio Hernández Fajarnés (1851–1909). Secondly, we study the idea of the university that emerged from the Ateneo de Madrid, analyzing key speeches from the jurist Francisco Fernández de Henestrosa (1855–s.d.) given in 1887/88 and from the pharmacist José Rodríguez Carracido (1856–1928).FindingsThe study concludes that the Restoration Era in Spain was characterized by a generalized desire – shared by neo-Scholastics, conservatives and liberal rationalists – to improve the public university system. In this context, French influence was no doubt decisive; however, the Humboldtian university idea had already begun to have notable influence.Originality/valueThis article analyzes sources yet unknown to international research, such as the Ateneo de Madrid debates and Spanish university rectors’ inaugural speeches. It opens up a critical examination of the so-called displacement of educational principles in Spain toward a state-centered system of doctrinal moderantismo as opposed to the nation-centered system of the Cádiz liberalism. At the same time, it identifies key pockets of resistance relative to Spanish university transformation toward increased methodological secularization.
Mortality rate, patient length of stay and medical cost prediction in different priority levels for patient admission to an intensive care unit
Authors: Hosseinpour Fariba , Seddighi Mahyar , Amerzadeh Mohammad , Rafiei Sima 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
This study aimed to compare mortality rate, length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs at different priority levels for a patient admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) at a public tertiary hospital in Qazvin, Iran. This study also aimed to predict influencing factors on patients’ mortality, ICU LOS and hospitalization costs in different admission groups.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted a retrospective cohort study among patients who mainly suffered from internal diseases admitted to an ICU of a public hospital. This study was conducted among 127 patients admitted to ICU from July to September 2019. The authors categorized patients into four groups based on two crucial hemodynamic and respiratory status criteria. The authors used a logistic regression model to predict the likelihood of mortality in ICU admitted patients during hospitalizations for the four prioritization groups. Furthermore, the authors conducted a multivariate analysis using the “enter” method to identify risk factors for LOS.

Findings
Results showed a statistically significant relationship between the priority of being admitted to ICU and hospitalization costs. The authors’ findings revealed that age, LOS and levels of consciousness had a predictability role in determining in-hospital mortality. Besides, age, gender, consciousness level of patients and type of the disease were mentioned as affecting factors of LOS.

Originality/value
This study’s findings emphasize the necessity of categorizing patients according to specific criteria to efficiently use available resources to help health-care authorities reduce the costs and allocate the budget to different health sectors.
Turning the lean world upside down
Authors: Hines Peter , Butterworth Chris , Greenlee Caroline , Jekiel Cheryl , Taylor Darrin 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to extend the People Value Stream concept further by developing a view of what the world would look like through the eyes of a positive psychology employee-centred lens. The authors hope to provide a frame for further discussion, research and practical application in this area.

Design/methodology/approach
In this conceptual paper, the authors draw on their collective 120 plus years of experience with Lean and Human Resource Management through leading, teaching, researching and consulting in the area.

Findings
The People Value Stream concept is extended here by ideating how the “Voice of the Employee” could be used to enhance the existing knowledge of Lean. Relying on a range of cognitive psychological theories, particularly Self-Determination Theory, the authors show how it might be possible to develop a highly engaged workforce primarily by unlocking their intrinsic motivation through a “Self-Development and Growth Cycle”. This cycle is the people-improvement version of the seminal Deming process-improvement PDCA cycle. It can be applied within a job crafting “Personal Cockpit”. The authors also highlight a range of outputs and wider implications that create a pull for team leaders and senior management wishing to move to a real Servant Leader model. It will also help those developing and supporting people-related policies and procedures both within organisations and in trade unions.

Originality/value
This paper turns the existing literature about people within Lean upside down. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, for the first time in an academic paper, it discusses what would be the implications for the Lean world if the authors truly started understanding and deploying the explicit “Voice of the Employee” rather than just the established Lean “Voice of the Owner”-led Hoshin Kanri approach. The authors show how a lack of knowledge in these areas by the Lean community is limiting Lean’s engagement of people and its sustainability.
Afforestation intentions for mitigating carbon emissions in the post-COVID-19 perspective: the case of green hotel visitors in Bangladesh
Authors: Hasan Abdulla Al-Towfiq 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
This study aims to explore green hotel visitors’ afforestation intentions by extending the theory of planned behavior, including post-COVID-19 personal norms (PCPN) and post-COVID-19 environmental concerns (PCECs). Moreover, this study examines the mediating effect of PCECs from the post-COVID-19 perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on existing literatures and collection of 384 usable responses using the convenience sampling technique. The partial least square structural equation modeling is used to analyze data using Smart PLS3.3.3.

Findings
The findings reveal that post-COVID-19 afforestation attitudes, subjective norms (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC) and PCPN significantly influence post-COVID-19 afforestation intentions (PCAI) and PCECs. Further, PCEC partially mediates the between post-COVID-19 afforestation attitudes, SN, PBC and PCPN and PCAI.

Practical implications
The findings of this study may be useful to green hotel operators in formulating business strategies enhancing visitors’ positive perceptions toward green hotels and afforestation intentions coping with new normal environment and hospitality industry.

Originality/value
This research presents a distinguished case highlighting how the green hotel guests’ perceptions toward afforestation for mitigating carbon emissions are changing because of COVID-19 pandemic. This study provides crucial insights for green hotel practitioners by integrating post-COVID-19 afforestation attitudes, SN, PBC, PCPN and PCEC of green hotel visitors in examining PCAI.
The MDTKSB: a measure of multidimensional tacit knowledge sharing behavior scale for service organizations
Authors: Mahajan Vibha , Sharma Jyoti , Soni Pavleen 
Published: August 2022

PurposeSharing of knowledge has always been accredited as the indispensable segment of knowledge management. As knowledge management practices are growing within the organizations, it is important that correspondingly, valid and reliable knowledge sharing behavior scales are developed to avoid validation issues. Therefore, this composition describes the development and validation of multi-dimensional tacit knowledge sharing behavior scale.Design/methodology/approachHerein, two analytical techniques, namely, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis have been used to derive the composition of the constructs.FindingsThe study proposes four-dimensional tacit knowledge sharing behavior scale for services which include voluntarily tacit knowledge donation, involuntary tacit knowledge collection, involuntarily tacit knowledge collection and voluntary tacit knowledge collection.Research limitations/implicationsA more holistic approach to the tacit knowledge sharing behavior construct has been proposed, which is helpful in contributing to the literature of tacit knowledge sharing behavior of employees. Additionally, it has made an attempt to eliminate the gap as voiced by most of the literature related to tacit knowledge sharing in service industries which has focused upon western service sectors and limited research is available in the Asian context.Practical implicationsThe ingenuity of the scale lies in the fact that it measures voluntary and involuntary aspects of tacit knowledge sharing behavior of employees which can be used by the organization to develop knowledge management plans and knowledge sharing practices based on the identified strategies.Originality/valueThe study is one of its kind that has considered various aspects namely, knowledge donation, knowledge collection, voluntary knowledge sharing and involuntary knowledge sharing together.
Key pillars in a business ecosystem success
Authors: Alet Josep 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the dimensions that foster the accomplishment of goals of business ecosystems.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper reviews recent contributions to business ecosystems and identifies the key pillars that support the achievement of good results.

Findings
The paper suggests that entanglement with the customers, value sharing based on a holistic win-win approach, organizational entrepreneurship alignment and continuous smart learning are four dimensions of criticality for designing an effective business ecosystem. These four dimensions nurture the relationships between participants and external actors to make ecosystems successful. Entanglement with the customer is critical to the long-term relevance of the value proposition that reinforces companies’ relationships within the second pillar of value sharing in a win-win system. The development is structured in an organizational alignment where entrepreneurship is the engine, from the employees themselves to the largest corporations, and is enriched with continuous learning based on the exploitation of knowledge and big data.

Research limitations/implications
The paper identifies a set of four pillars of business ecosystem design for further empirical analysis by ecosystem researchers.

Practical implications
The paper provides managers and professionals with strategies to develop effective growth within business ecosystems.

Originality/value
The authors contribute a fresh perspective to the business ecosystems literature by identifying four key pillars of success in the current business landscape.
Awareness, use and attitudes of the Indian higher educational institutions students about scholarly open access: an empirical analysis
Authors: Palla Ishfaq Ahmad , Sheikh Arslan , Baquee Abdul 
Published: August 2022

PurposeOpen access is a new scholarly publishing model that has appeared in place of the commercial publishing model. The aim of this study was to investigate the level of awareness, use and attitudes of the Indian students in higher educational institutions about scholarly open access.Design/methodology/approachSurvey method was used in the study. The sample population of the study was 212 Indian students belonging to different higher educational institutions in India.FindingsThe results of the study reveal a gloomy picture about the open access (OA) awareness and use among Indian students. Unfamiliarity with the OA journals and high publication fee were the main obstacles for the students not to publish in OA journals. However, a majority of the students reported their willingness to publish in OA journals in future if the obstacles are removed. A very meager ratio of the respondents had published in OA journals so far. In addition, motivational factors for publishing in OA journals were also taken into consideration, and respondent's indicated winning research grants, great impact and higher citations as main factors to publish in OA journals.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is geographically limited to the students of the higher educational institutions located in India.Practical implicationsThis study will help to understand the involvement and behavior of the Indian students toward scholarly open access. The study will also guide what measures need to be taken in the take up of open access movement.Originality/valueInstitutional repositories appeared to be relatively a novel term for the respondents, and in order to get the citation advantages and higher visibility, librarians can make an effort to persuade students to publish their research work in open access journals and institutional/subject repositories. The study recommends that institutions need to take appropriate measures to inform students about the importance and overall benefits associated with using of OA platforms in their scholarly work.
Learning from lived experience: Outcomes associated with students' involvement in co‐designed and co‐delivered recovery‐oriented practice workshops
Authors: Scanlan Justin Newton , Berry Bridget , Wells Karen , Somerville Jennie 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIntroductionLearning from individuals with lived experience is considered an important element of developing recovery‐oriented practice capabilities in mental health contexts. Additionally, service user involvement in the education of occupational therapy students is a requirement in accreditation standards. Despite this, many barriers to meaningful inclusion of Lived Experience Educators have previously been identified.MethodThis study evaluated the outcomes achieved by students who were involved in a unit of study that incorporated four recovery‐oriented practice workshops that were co‐designed and co‐delivered by Lived Experience Educators and an occupational therapy academic. Change over time was measured using the Recovery Knowledge Inventory (RKI) and the Capabilities for Recovery Oriented Practice Questionnaire (CROP‐Q). Change over time was evaluated using paired t‐tests. Students also provided qualitative feedback at the conclusion of the workshops. These comments were analysed using interpretive content analysis.ResultsStudents' scores on the RKI and CROP‐Q both demonstrated statistically significant improvements from the beginning of the semester to the end of semester (RKI: 53.6–57.7, t = 6.3, P < 0.001; CROP‐Q: 75.6–77.0, t = 2.4, P = 0.019). The most common categories included in the qualitative comments were: “Learning from real experiences”; “Learning about how to be a better clinician”; “See the strength and resilience of the educators, reduce stigma”; “Learning about the negative aspects of the mental health system”; and “More effective than other types of learning”.ConclusionThis study has demonstrated that students who engaged with the co‐designed and co‐delivered workshops improved their recovery knowledge and recovery‐oriented capabilities over the course of the semester. Qualitative feedback also suggests that students' attitudes and skills for future practice were also influenced in positive ways by engaging with Lived Experience Educators.
Your Behaviour Reflects Your Risk Attitude: The Influence of CEOs’ Insurance Behaviours on Corporate Social Responsibility
Authors: Wang Qian , Yan Weichen 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study explores how CEOs’ insurance behaviours outside the workplace, as measured by the premium rates of their self‐purchasing critical illness insurance, are related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. We show that such behaviours (i.e. the CEO‐insurance effect) capture the variation in CEOs’ risk aversion and are positively associated with CSR performance. We also find that our results align with the risk mitigation hypothesis rather than the agency conflict hypothesis. Additional analysis reveals that the main effect is more pronounced among firms in uncertain environments. Further evidence shows that accounting conservatism and internal control are potential channels through which the CEO‐insurance effect boosts CSR performance. Collectively, our evidence contributes to research on managerial risk attitude, heterogeneity in CSR policies and ‘off‐the‐job’ determinants of CEOs’ styles.
What are dually diagnosed patients’ problems represented to be in mental health? A WPR analysis of the multistability purpose of digital health records
Authors: Oute Jeppe , Bjerge Bagga , Davidson Larry 
Published: August 2022

AbstractNo previous studies have investigated how political measures, opinions and views of people with dual diagnoses, organisational requirements and professional values are purposefully communicated, mediated and/or integrated in digital records in mental health care. It remains unclear how health records function as both clinical vehicles for documentation, audit and quality assurance in patient care as well as political vehicles of power to articulate and reproduce idealised relations among actors and their roles in mental health. Informed by Bacchi’s ‘What’s the problem represented to be’ (WPR) approach, we consider how problems of dually diagnosed persons with co‐occurring mental health conditions and drug use (DDPs) are represented and how the tools required to fix the patients’ problems are communicated and legitimised in 10 digital health records consisting of 3830 pages of data. In the discussion, we distinguish their multiple purposes by discussing how their structure is shaped by broader discourses in health care. Then, we consider how the structure of records delineates professionals’ autonomy, discretionary action and service provision in ways that limit possibilities for including mental health patients’ experiences and exclude service users’ voices from care planning.
Fight or flight? Exploring suicide thoughts, experiences, and behaviours among correctional workers and their interventions of agency
Authors: Johnston Matthew S. , Ricciardelli Rosemary , McKendy Laura 
Published: August 2022

AbstractResearch indicates that, relative to the general public and most other types of public safety personnel, correctional workers are more likely to engage in suicide ideation, planning, and attempts. Yet, less is known about lived experiences towards, of, and beyond suicidality among correctional staff. To contribute to this gap in knowledge, the current study draws on qualitative, open‐ended survey response data (n = 94) to explore how Canadian provincial correctional workers navigate experiences of suicide, with a focus on the individual, personal, and social factors tied to experiences towards and of suicide thoughts and behaviours. By engaging the seminal works of Foucault, Žižek, and Deleuze and Guattari, we explore respondents’ distinct forms of agency when grappling with, challenging, and transcending thoughts around suicide. We then discuss the research implications, with an emphasis on providing correctional workers with confidential, non‐stigmatised well‐being and treatment‐seeking resources and processes, and more health care funding to fully cover timely and sufficient mental health treatment, prevention, and intervention.
