    المصدر: Väätäinen , H 2024 , ' Virtuaalinen johtaminen paradoksien syleilyssä : Sosiaalista pääomaa ja oman äänen käyttöä tukeva johtaminen kunnissa ' , Yhteiskuntatieteiden tohtori , Rovaniemi . < https://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-337-409-6Test >

    الوصف: Tämän hallintotieteellisen laadullisen tutkimuksen keskiössä on kuntaorganisaatio yhteiskunnallisten muutosten keskiössä. Tutkimuksen lähtökohtana on selvittää millainen muutos johtamisessa ja vuorovaikutuksessa tapahtui COVID-19 pandemian aikana siirryttäessä virtuaaliseen työhön. Kuntaorganisaation muutosta voidaan kuvata moniulotteiseksi paradoksien muodostamaksi kokonaisuudeksi. Kunta on nähty valtion jatkeena palveluita tuottavana palvelukoneena, jolle valtio antaa, ja jolta valtio ottaa tehtäviä. Kunta poliittisena ja elinvoimaa tuottavana, yleistä etua vaalivana yhteisönä tarvitsee vuorovaikutuksesta kumpuavaa toimintaa. Pelkästään johtamisen tai johtajan ominaisuuksien tarkastelu ei anna riittäviä vastauksia. Kuntaa haastavat paradoksaaliset kysymykset edellyttävät uuden tyyppistä suhtautumista johtamiseen ja paradoksien hallintaan. Tämä tutkimus perustuu sosiaalisen konstruktionismin ajatukselle tunnistaen, että maailma rakentuu ihmisten välisessä vuorovaikutussuhteessa. Tämä laadullinen tutkimus pitää sisällään 22 kunta-alan ylimmän ja keskijohdon haastattelua kahdesta eri kunnasta ja sen aineistolähtöinen abduktiivinen analysointi on johdattanut organisaation sisäistä sosiaalista pääoma, hiljaisuutta ja oman äänen käyttöä koskevan tieteellisen keskustelun äärelle. Aineistosta nousivat esille myös kuntien johtamiseen liittyvät paradoksit. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, minkälainen johtaminen tukee sosiaalisen pääoman kehittymistä ja oman äänen käyttöä sekä miten voimme tunnistaa paradokseja ja lisätä paradoksiajattelua johtamisen käytänteissä. Sosiaalista pääomaa ja paradoksiajattelua tukevassa johtamisessa erityisesti johtamisen, luottamuksen ja menestyksen paradoksien tunnistaminen ja johtaminen on keskiössä. Tutkimus osallistuu keskusteluun virtuaalisen johtamisen käsitteestä ja sosiaalista pääomaa ja paradoksiajattelua tukevasta ihmisten johtamisesta. Tutkimuksessa keskustellaan tulosten vaikutuksesta ja annetaan käytännön suosituksia johtamisen työssä onnistumiseen.

    الوصف: This study explores which stakeholders have more substantial influence than others and which combinations of stakeholders will have the greatest impact on small- and medium-sized enterprises' environmental practices. A quantitative survey of 150 manager-owners of SMEs found that while customers and suppliers significantly influence SMEs' sustainability behaviors, the demands and expectations set by regulatory bodies have a more substantial impact on how SMEs shape their environmental practices. Further, the presence of regulatory pressures does more than directly influence SMEs. Pressure from regulatory bodies also amplifies the effect of other forces on SMEs' environmental practices. In other words, when regulatory pressures exist, the impact of customer and supplier pressures on SMEs' sustainability behaviors becomes even more substantial. This synergistic effect underscores the pivotal role of regulatory pressures in shaping and enhancing SMEs' commitment to environmental sustainability.

    الوصف: Purpose: Explaining the sources of the differences in social performance among Islamic banks (IBs) is the motivation for this research. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the development of Islamic finance regulation, the development of an Islamic financial system, the proportions of affected Muslim populations and the level of competition, on the one hand, and the social performance of IBs, on the other. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that investigates the impact of the development of regulation and the Islamic financial system on the social performance of IBs. Design/methodology/approach: A balanced panel of annual data for 40 banks from 13 countries is applied, spanning 2012–2018. A social performance index with eight dimensions is constructed and measures the social performance of IBs. The index based on qualitative and quantitative data derives from IBs’ annual reports and financial statements. The linear scaling transformation method articulates the quantitative dimensions of the index. In hypotheses testing, the authors use OLS, LSDV, FEM and Random Effect Model to estimate Model (1) and panel-corrected standard errors with Prais–Winsten transformation to estimate Model (2). Findings: This unique research confirms the positive impact of the development of Islamic finance regulation on the social performance of IBs. The results show that the development of Islamic finance regulation is consistently significant on all standard significance levels. IBs’ age and the presence of Muslim populations in the country are also significant in most estimators. Research limitations/implications: The results of this research highlight a significant value for regulators, shareholders and the management of IBs. Without proper regulation, these banks can hardly operate under the principles and expectations of the Islamic moral economy. Originality/value: This is pioneering research that explores the development of Islamic finance regulation and ...

    المصدر: Battilossi , S & Pittaki , Z 2024 , ' Down a slippery slope : lack of trust, coercive threats and business tax resistance in Greece, 1955-1988 ' , Enterprise & Society . https://doi.org/10.1017/eso.2023.51Test

    الوقت: Greece in the 20th century

    الوصف: Over the second half of the 20th century, Greek governments failed to tax business income in line with the country’s level of economic development. This paper uses the “slippery slope” model of tax compliance to explain why the reform of income and corporate taxation in the late 1950s met strong resistance in the business sector. We argue that the negative legacy of interwar reforms, the lack of sustained and credible investment in trust building in coincidence with the postwar reforms, and the intensification of coercive threats in tax enforcement led to an antagonistic tax climate and a degradation of enforced and voluntary compliance. Our qualitative analysis based on original primary sources shows that the arguments publicly voiced by entrepreneurs and their organizations reflected their persistent perception of tax power as unfair, arbitrary and extractive. Using aggregate tax returns data, our quantitative analysis finds evidence of systematic and increasing income underreporting both by unincorporated and incorporated businesses. This vicious circle of non-cooperation and mutual distrust explains why governments got trapped into a persistent low tax capacity equilibrium that still casts a shadow on the Greek economy.

    الوصف: Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are growing concerns among passengers and airlines. However, the communication of such actions by airline companies is underexplored. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze airlines' CSR and Environmental Sustainability Actions (ESA) communications' impact on customer loyalty, through a Relationship Marketing (RM) perspective. Following a text-mining approach, 6181 Facebook comments were collected. A word frequency matrix was created from the collected data and used as input for PLS-SEM to test raised hypotheses. Results suggest that communication based on ESA and CSR positively affects behavioral loyalty and commitment. RM moderated ESA's communication impact on customer loyalty but not on the relationship between CSR communication and loyalty. These findings suggest that communicating environmental efforts positively affects customer loyalty, providing airline managers with valuable insights that should be considered within communication strategies to enhance return and customer retention.

    الوصف: Given the dearth of research examining the distinctions across various facets of employee knowledge-hiding (KH) behaviors, there is little known about why and when leadership negatively influences playing dumb and evasive hiding but positively influences rationalized hiding. The present study fills this void by hypothesizing that employee justice orientation (JO) acts as a mediator of the associations of ethical leadership (EL) with different facets of employee KH behaviors. We also propose employee conscientiousness moderates the relationship of EL with JO and the indirect relationships of ethical leadership with distinct variants of employee KH behaviors. The results based on time-lagged data from 387 employees provide support for the hypothesized relationships. Together, our research provides a more nuanced account of the influence of leadership on employee KH behaviors that can facilitate the development of more appropriate interventions to deal with the intricate problems related to employee KH behaviors.

    الوصف: Due to their covert and often dubious nature, corporate political activities may encourage or facilitate opportunistic behaviors. Yet, they also subject firms to heightened visibility, which brings greater public and regulatory scrutiny. Using a hand-collected data set of politically connected US initial public offerings (IPOs), we investigate how this tension shapes the financial reporting incentives of firms going public and the accompanying direct compliance costs. Consistent with the agency view of corporate political activism (CPA), politically active IPO issuers have worse financial reporting quality, more litigation risk and eventually pay 28% more accounting fees than their peers. Additional analysis exploiting the US Supreme Court's landmark ruling on Citizens United versus Federal Election Commission suggests that the link between CPA and IPO accounting fees is likely to be causal. Finally, our evidence indicates that the involvement of specialized financial intermediaries in the political process has implications for the IPO financial reporting quality.

    الوصف: Existing network research has mainly adopted functional and/or structural approaches to study the instrumental goals behind entrepreneurs’ networking as well as the influence of personal position on access to resources and eventual performance. The variety of entrepreneurs’ networking styles and their normative underpinnings have not been adequately explored. Contextualized in China, this study asks: How do entrepreneurs’ understandings of social norms shape their networking styles? Through an inductive comparison of two entrepreneur generations in China, we identify three networking styles: guanxi-oriented networking, market-based networking, and mixed networking. We theorize that three types of norms shape these styles: market-inferred norms, dyadically formed norms, and identity-induced norms. This study provides new insights into the understanding of Chinese entrepreneurs’ distinctive networking styles and their normative underpinnings. Further, it suggests implications both for the wider study of entrepreneurs’ networking behaviors in transition economies, and for practitioners wishing to enhance their network building in China.

    الوصف: We investigate the out-of-sample diversification benefits of cryptocurrencies from a generalised perspective, a cryptocurrency-factor level, with traditional and machine-learning-enhanced asset allocation strategies. The cryptocurrency factor portfolios are formed in an analogous way to equity anomalies by using more than 2000 cryptocurrencies. The findings indicate that a stock–bond portfolio incorporating size- and momentum-based cryptocurrency factors can achieve statistically significant out-of-sample diversification benefits for investors with different risk preferences. Additionally, machine-learning-enhanced asset allocation strategies can boost the traditional approaches by enriching (shrinking) the distributions of weights allocated to potentially effective cryptocurrency factors. Our findings are robust to (i) the inclusion of transaction costs, (ii) an alternative benchmark portfolio, and (iii) a rolling-window estimation scheme.
