title: Socio-cultural factors and youth entrepreneurship in rural regions

description: Abstract Purpose: This paper aims to demonstrate the impact of two important socio-cultural factors on the level of the entrepreneurial activity of young individuals in rural regions. Design/methodology/approach: Our empirical study is based on a sample collected from an adult population survey, and analyzed using a logit model that controls for territorial and aging sources of heterogeneity. Our theoretical framework is anchored on a contingency perspective that emphasizes the unique influences of the contextual environment in driving entrepreneurial behavior. Findings: The main findings of our study is that in Spain the likelihood of being entrepreneurially active is no different for young and old individuals, and between rural and urban regions. Surprisingly, unlike shown in most studies, entrepreneurial role models do not have any effect on the entrepreneurship by young individuals in rural regions of Spain, while the negative impact of fear of failure in the entrepreneurship on young individuals in rural regions is much higher compared to the rest of the population. Originality/value: Our findings reveal that the context (regional) has a more significant impact on entrepreneurship for some segments (younger individuals) of the population than for others.

title: An examination of certain antecedents of social entrepreneurial intentions among Mexico residents

description: Abstract Purpose: The purpose of our investigation is threefold. First, we assess the role of sustainable and social values as precursors of social innovation orientation, while taking into account interests as to financial returns. Second, we examine the role of social innovation orientation as an antecedent of a social entrepreneurship attitude. Third, we examine how attitude, subjective norms and entrepreneurship self-efficacy influence intentions of beginning a social entrepreneurship venture among Mexico residents. Design/methodology/approach: We conducted 745 surveys among low-income Mexico residents who expressed interest in initiating a social entrepreneurship venture. We used structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized model. Findings: Results showed the positive influence of social values on social innovation orientation, while taking into account the influence of financial interests. Social innovation orientation, an attitude toward social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and subjective norms were identified as positive predictors of social entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value: The paper provides useful information about the importance of values to understanding social innovation orientation and social entrepreneurship intentions.

title: Organizational citizenship behaviors: a glimpse in the light of values and job satisfaction

description: Abstract Purpose: - The main goal of this study is to analyze the influence of work related values and work satisfaction on the Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB), according to the perspective of the employees of a company from the education sector. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was carried out with 244 employees of a company located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The company covers publishers, elementary school and high school levels, and preparative courses for Vestibular (university entrance exam) and Concursos Públicos (exams to be admitted to the civil service), and they are acting in the education sector since 2001. Findings: The main results reveal that the work related values and work satisfaction positively influence the OCB, and the main values with higher influence on OCB are Conformity, Universalism, Benevolence, and the Satisfaction with the boss, which are the independent variables with higher influence. The only value researched that has no influence on the OCB was Power. Originality/value: The results will enable a reflection on the reasons that make these individuals work, their satisfaction with the work done and its influence on the organizational citizenship behaviors. Additionally, they may provide subsidies for the education sector, to assess the prospect of their professionals regarding their concerns, interactions and behaviors in the workplace.

title: Partnering based on coopetition in the interorganizational networks of tourism: a comparison between Curitiba and Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil

description: Abstract Purpose: This paper presents a model to analyze the context and critical behavior of interorganizational partnering based on the coopetition strategy. Design/methodology/approach: This research is exploratory, and makes use of descriptive statistical methodology. Data collection was based on an entrepreneurial perception survey applied to 545 tourism firms and 49 local business associations in two Brazilian cities. Findings: The main theoretical approach of this research was to introduce a partnering model, and its variables, based on coopetition - whereas its main empirical finding was to prove that the high internal competition among participants, within the tourism sector, is a greater source of coopetition behavior than external competition itself. Shared values, mutual trust, complementarity and awareness of the competitive advantages that result from partnering co-exist with the internal competition between firms belonging to this sector. Originality/value: Coopetition in the tourism sector has been little explored, but this study confirms that coopetition is a hybrid behavior which is very suitable to explain current market relationships; it also represents the interorganizational networks generated by business associations. The value of this research was to provide a scale to measure cooperative and competitive contexts on partnering based on the coopetition strategy, which can be applied to other industries or sectors.

title: Quality Practices, Corporate Social Responsibility and the “Society Results” Criterion of the EFQM Model

description: Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyze whether quality management practices implemented and carried out by the rural accommodation establishments under study influence society results obtained by organizations, which are understood as the participation therein and the development of local community. Design/methodology/approach: The working methodology consists of carrying out an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis in order to test the psychometric properties of measurement scales, and the hypothesized relationships between critical factors and society results are examined using structural equation modeling. Findings: The study provides evidence of a weak relationship between the critical factors of quality and society results in rural accommodation establishments. The results suggest that process management is the only quality practice that has a direct effect on society results and the rest of the critical factors are considered antecedents of it. Originality/value: The contribution of this study, which explores the impact of the critical factors of quality on society results, is to confirm that there is an effect of the critical factors of quality on society results (social and environmental responsibilities) through the direct relationship of process management. Very few studies examine this relationship.

title: The effect of procedural fairness and supervisor support in the relationship between job insecurity and organizational citizenship behaviour

description: Abstract Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine whether the perception of job insecurity negatively affects procedural fairness, which may relate to the Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Finally, we have tested whether perceived supervisor support has a moderating effect in the relationship between procedural fairness and OCB. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from a sample of 707 employees in a metal-mechanic company in Chile. Regression analysis was used to analyze the mediating and moderating effects. Findings: It was found that procedural fairness fully mediates the relationship between Job Insecurity and OCB, such that Job Insecurity is negatively related to procedural fairness, which in turn is positively related to OCB. Also, perceived supervisor support moderates the relationship between procedural fairness and OCB. Originality/value: The paper provides new theoretical insights on the effects that perceived job insecurity has on OCB, giving an empirical insight of the mediator and moderator effects that aid in the comprehension of this relationship.

title: Work engagement: Individual and situational antecedents and its relationship with turnover intention

description: Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyze individual and situational antecedents of work engagement. More specifically, we propose that engagement is influenced by individual differences, measured by a construct called core self-evaluations, by human resource management practices, and by leader-member exchange quality. Moreover, we investigate the relationship between engagement and turnover intention. Design/methodology/approach: The hypotheses were tested through multiple regression analysis with a sample of 299 professionals employed by public and private organizations of different sizes and sectors of the Brazilian economy. Findings: All hypotheses were confirmed. More specifically, work engagement was positive and significantly related to participants’ core self-evaluations, human resource management practices, and leader-member exchange quality. A negative and significant relationship between engagement and turnover intention was also found. Originality/value: Results showed that both HR practices and leader-member exchange quality can influence employee engagement, highlighting the importance of investments in these fields. Since engagement was also associated with individual differences, establishing an engaged workforce might require selection strategies that privilege employees who are more positive about themselves.

title: The multilevel effect of marketing activities on sales, revenue and profitability in a micro-enterprise

description: Abstract Purpose: This study dynamically assessed the effectiveness of marketing activities in the generation of product sales, revenue, and profitability in a micro-enterprise, a context that lacks research in marketing. Design/methodology/approach: A longitudinal multilevel study was conducted using daily panel data for 5,800 products sold and monthly time series on the business level, involving 26 months of commercial and financial records for a micro-enterprise (a drugstore). Panel and time series regressions were performed. Findings: The research shows that (1) marketing activities, in particular price elasticity, quite accurately generate product sales, (2) the aggregated estimate of total marketing activities predicts monthly company revenue and profitability, and (3) in the investigated company, if marketing activities are intensified in the same proportion to increase costs in products and goods, they are not efficient in generating profit. Originality/value: This research supports investigations concerning micro→macro level analysis relationships with commercial and financial data in order to merge marketing decisions to finance.

title: Sex and gender identity differences in psychological job outcomes among salespeople

description: Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was any difference among sex and gender identity groups for salespeople in terms of psychological job outcomes, namely job stress, organizational commitment, intention to leave, and job satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach: Data was collected from salespeople using a survey. The questionnaire used was administered to a convenience sample of pharmaceutical salespeople from south-central region of Turkey, through a self-administered questionnaire. Findings: The findings suggested that there were differences between sex groups in psychological job outcomes except job stress, while there were differences between gender identity groups in all of them. There already exist sex differences and also gender identity differences regarding the job outcomes in sales force. Androgynous individuals have the most appropriate gender identity for sales profession, considering that they had a high level of job satisfaction and organizational commitment and a low level of job stress and intention to leave. Originality/value: The major contribution of this study to the literature and administrative implications is the enrichment of information concerning gender-based similarities and/or differences among salespeople in terms of job outcomes with a new and different approach.
