This chapter explores the nexus between disability, sport, and innovation. As with other areas of disability, a great deal of innovation is user-led where people with a disability as insiders to their lived experience identify opportunities to improve performance and set about the process of innovation to address the needs of themselves and others with disabilities. Other types of innovation in disability sport come about as a complementary outcome from innovations more generally. Improvements in materials may flow into nondisabled cycling, and then across into cycling for people with disabilities before being adapted for use in wheelchair racing. A multitude of examples of where innovation has occurred in disability sport will be highlighted along with processes to follow for budding innovators and entrepreneurs as well as opportunities to showcase these innovations.

The article examines the formal process of ‘ethical clearance’ for social science research at a large university and illuminates how it functions to undermine its stated purpose. We find that rather than promoting ethical standards, the bureaucratic process creates negative and cynical attitudes and game playing. For almost all participants, the entire procedure is counterproductive and experienced as absurd, creating a boomerang effect. The findings reveal how a specific rationalization effort leads to widespread experiences of irrationality, where detailed and strict organization merges with experiences of the bizarre. The article develops concepts capturing the experience and resulting organizational type: ‘orbizzarization’ and ‘absurdocracy’. These concepts enrich our understanding of toxic/irrational organizations, including Kafkaesque organizations.

We estimate the impact of children on the gender earnings gap in Australia using an event study approach. We show that the arrival of children has a large and persistent impact on the gender earnings gap, reducing female annual earnings by 53 per cent, on average, in the first 5 years of parenthood. We attribute the gap in earnings to lower participation rates and reduced working hours among mothers, including a shift to part‐time work. Although the decline in earnings for women is similar regardless of their breadwinner status prior to children, women with greater access to workplace flexibility are more likely to remain employed after having children.

SummaryThe MJA–Lancet Countdown on health and climate change in Australia was established in 2017 and produced its first national assessment in 2018 and annual updates in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. It examines five broad domains: health hazards, exposures and impacts; adaptation, planning and resilience for health; mitigation actions and health co‐benefits; economics and finance; and public and political engagement. In this, the seventh report of the MJA–Lancet Countdown, we track progress on an extensive suite of indicators across these five domains, accessing and presenting the latest data and further refining and developing our analyses. We also examine selected indicators of trends in health and climate change in New Zealand.Our analyses show the exposure to heatwaves is growing in Australia, increasing the risk of heat stress and other health threats such as bushfires and drought. Our analyses also highlight continuing deficiencies in Australia's response to the health and climate change threat. A key component of Australia's capacity to respond to bushfires, its number of firefighting volunteers, is in decline, dropping by 38 442 people (17%) in just seven years. Australia's total energy supply remains dominated by fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), and although energy from coal decreased from 2021 to 2023, energy from oil increased, and transport energy from petrol grew substantially in 2021–22 (the most recent year for which data are available). Greenhouse gas emissions from Australia's health care sector in 2021 rose to their highest level since 2010.In other areas some progress is being made. The Australian Government completed the fi...

Abstract We investigate the importance of subjective expectations of returns to and effort costs of the two principal investments that mothers make in newborns: breastfeeding and stimulation. We find heterogeneity across mothers in rural Pakistan in expected effort costs and expected returns for outcomes in the cognitive, socio-emotional and health domains, and that this contributes to explaining heterogeneity in investments. We find no significant differences across women in preferences for child developmental outcomes. We simulate the impact of alternative policies on investments. Our findings highlight the relevance of interventions designed to address maternal depression and reduce perinatal fatigue alongside interventions that increase perceived returns to investments.

AbstractThis paper investigates the allocation of internal cash flow among Chinese firms. Compared to their US peers, Chinese firms are less likely to use tax‐related cash for investments, particularly in marketable securities, or to increase cash balance; instead, they mainly use tax‐related cash to reduce their reliance on external financing. Further tests show the differences in cash allocation between Chinese and US firms are more pronounced among Chinese non‐state owned enterprises and firms without political connections. The results highlight the importance of governmental connections in mitigating tax repayment risks and enhancing the flexibility of internal cash allocation.

PurposeRespectful co-production is one of the principles of ethical Indigenous research. However, this participatory approach has yet to be thoroughly discussed in social marketing. This study aims to provide reflections and recommendations for respectful co-production of research with Indigenous people in social marketing.Design/methodology/approachThis study draws upon case study reflections and lessons learned from a research program respectfully co-produced with members of the Shipibo-Konibo Indigenous group of the Peruvian Amazon called the Comando Matico. The authors focus on the challenges and strategies for respectful co-production during different stages of the research process, including consultation, fieldwork and co-authoring articles. The authors foreground how their Comando Matico co researchers infused the research process with Shipibo knowledge.FindingsThe authors reflect on three recommendations concerning 1) respectful co-production, 2) power dynamics and 3) facilitating co-authorship. Social marketers interested in respectful co production of research with Indigenous people may need to adopt a flexible and practical approach that considers the characteristics of the context and Indigenous co-researchers.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the discussion about the importance of respectful co-production of research with Indigenous people to ensure it accounts for their needs and wants.

View description>>

Abstract Resilient and sustainable service design is essential for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of service systems. However, existing literature often neglects key aspects such as articulating resilience attributes and integrating sustainability dimensions. This study proposes a decision support model for a “resilient-sustainable service design” that merges service design principles with resilient system attributes and organizational sustainability goals. The framework incorporates a multi-objective mathematical programming model and a multi-phased Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach to derive Pareto optimal solutions using the Brute Force algorithm. Applied in the m-health service sector in Bangladesh, the study reveals significant challenges, including limited awareness of services and logistical inefficiencies. To address these issues, flexible strategies such as demand planning and service innovation are implemented. The findings have direct implications for the improvement of service delivery processes and underscore the importance of considering both resilience and sustainability. While focusing on Bangladesh’s m-health sector, the insights gained have broader relevance globally. The integration of resilience and sustainability principles into service design is crucial for addressing complex challenges across sectors and regions. Future research could involve longitudinal studies to capture evolving resilience strategies and explore resilient-sustainable service systems from a broader perspective. This entails examining various factors such as technological advancements and socio-economic dynamics shaping resilient and sustainable service ecosystems.

AbstractThis study introduces a novel approach to urban liveability research by combining interviews with participatory mapping techniques. More specifically, the research integrates concepts from geographic information systems (GISs) with episodic narrative interviews to develop a qualitative GIS (qual‐GIS) methodology to map and interpret the spatial experiences of recent migrants to Cairns. This qual‐GIS approach involves participants annotating amenity maps with personal narratives, effectively geolocating subjective experiences, and providing visual representations of liveability insights. During mapping sessions, participants identified and highlighted significant locations by annotating maps with pens and sticky notes to express their spatial stories and place attachments. Analysis of annotated maps in ArcGIS enabled the juxtaposition of qualitative insights with quantitative data, offering a rich, spatially informed understanding of liveability in place. The maps transcended their function as mere analytical instruments or memory aides, and the activity evolved into a platform for migrants to articulate experiences of, and emotional ties to the city. This approach enhances understandings of urban liveability from first‐hand experiences and establishes qual‐GIS approaches as valuable tools in urban and regional policy and research.

Autoethnography, an essential research approach, interweaves personal experiences with introspective insights from distinct communities. Despite its methodological significance, autoethnography remains inadequately represented in hospitality and tourism research discourse. This paper seeks to challenge this status quo by advocating for social model strength-based paradigms in understanding disability and by addressing the structural and attitudinal obstacles that hinder the acceptance of autoethnographic research in high-ranking journals within hospitality and tourism. This conceptual note emphasizes the empowerment of marginalized voices, including those with disabilities, and their intersecting identities. It also highlights the hurdles faced by autoethnographers when submitting their work to prestigious journals and provides recommendations for fostering the recognition and inclusion of autoethnography within the field.

ABSTRACTThis paper studies the forward premium puzzle, which signals a violation of the uncovered interest parity (UIP) hypothesis. We test this hypothesis with Fama‐style regressions with time‐varying parameters (TVPs) and stochastic volatility (SV) on six major currencies relative to the US dollar on monthly samples from 1993 to 2018. TVP‐SV regressions are also employed to examine the opposing predictions of the forward premium and excess volatility puzzles often found in exchange rate risk premiums and interest rate differentials. Using Bayesian methods, we document that the riskiness of exchange rates explains the forward premium puzzle, while a liquidity premium reconciles the contrasting predictions of the forward premium and excess volatility puzzles.

ObjectivesTo examine how relationships between physicians, pharmacists and patients associate with generic drug (GE) utilisation in Japan’s healthcare system.DesignObservational study using longitudinal medical claims from April 2015 to March 2021.SettingPharmacies across Japan serving beneficiaries of the National Health Insurance Association.Participants69 395 pharmacies, resulting in 322 097 pharmacy-year observations.Main outcome measuresQuantity share of GEs dispensed by pharmacies.ResultsHigher hospital prescription concentration was consistently associated with increased GE usage (1.1–2.3 percentage points higher for moderate to very high concentrations compared with low). The relationship between patient prescription concentration and GE usage varied, showing a positive association (0.3–0.6 percentage points higher) overall, but negative in settings with low hospital concentration. Smaller pharmacies exhibited a stronger positive association between hospital concentration and GE usage, while larger pharmacies and those in less urbanised areas showed a stronger positive association between patient concentration and GE usage.ConclusionsThis study reveals that pharmacy-stakeholder relationships significantly influence GE utilisation in Japan’s healthcare system. Our findings demonstrate that hospital-pharmacy relationships consistently drive generic usage, while patient-pharmacy relationships show contextual effectiveness. By measuring these relationships through concentration rates, we provide evidence that stakeholder interactions ma...

AbstractWork stress and employee wellbeing have gained heightened attention since the COVID-19 pandemic. Until now, organizations have primarily sought to conceptualize these variables as an individual-level phenomenon; thereby neglecting the potential influence of social dynamics within the workplace. Drawing on conservation of resources and emotional contagion theories, this study examines the extent to which team-level emotional contagion moderates the impact of stress on wellbeing, factoring in multilevel effects. Data from 237 professional services employees nested within 41 teams was analyzed. The results show support for emotional contagion as a team-level moderator between individual-level work stress and employee wellbeing. The role of organizational resources in shaping stress and wellbeing outcomes was also significant. This study underscores the significance of team dynamics and organizational resources in shaping employee wellbeing. Well-targeted, stress alleviation, and team-contagion enhancing initiatives will have a more positive impact on wellbeing, than individually targeted stress alleviation initiatives in isolation.

Although a stakeholder-inclusive approach to corporate governance is becoming accepted more widely, we have little idea on how it can be achieved in practice or understood theoretically. B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand requires certified B Corporations (B Corps) to include in their corporate constitution formal commitments to pursuing a pro-social purpose and taking their stakeholders’ interests into account. Through interviews with 20 B Corp leaders, we explore how this model of stakeholder governance is implemented. We find that an organization-specific corporate purpose helps leaders to attract, select, and retain supportive stakeholders and minimize stakeholder conflicts. We identify three decision-making processes (Establishing, Applying, Developing) and three signaling processes (Announcing, Demonstrating, Sharing) through which stakeholder governance is achieved. Our findings extend emerging theories of stakeholder governance by moving away from a focus on conflict resolution to demonstrate its potential to foster collaborative systemic change. B Corps display a helpful model for purpose-led stakeholder governance with the potential to be applied more widely.

AbstractIn the rapidly evolving landscape of the automotive industry, firms are increasingly turning to advanced Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies to drive innovation and sustainability. While I4.0 technologies hold immense potential for Business Model Innovation (BMI) and supply chain (SC) sustainability, a gap exists in understanding how firms can leverage BMI and SCS effectively. This study addresses this gap and explores the impact of implementing I4.0 on BMI and its effects on SC sustainability. Utilizing an exploratory case study approach, the research investigates an Indian automobile SC and highlights how I4.0 technologies such as IoT, cloud computing, additive manufacturing, analytics, and automation contribute to BMI, enhancing operational efficiency and SC sustainability. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of fostering collaboration among SC entities and the need for support from large‐scale manufacturers for the initial adoption of I4.0 technologies at the small‐scale supplier level. Based on these findings, the study develops the ‘I4.0‐enabled BMI for SC Sustainability’ framework, providing a structured approach for integrating I4.0 and BMI to enhance SC sustainability. This research investigates and applies Dynamic Capability (DC) theory to examine I4.0 transformations and contributes to DC theory by demonstrating how I4.0 facilitates BMI across the value chain, leading to improved sustainability performance.

AbstractWe investigate the interaction design preferences of solution seekers and problem solvers on open innovation (crowdsourcing) platforms. Drawing on social exchange theory (SET), we hypothesize that seekers and solvers have different preferences for the configuration of four central interaction design features of a crowdsourcing platform: communication channels, collaboration options, selection of winning submissions, and feedback mechanisms. Based on a conjoint study with 842 respondents, we show conflicting preferences for the configuration of these features, but also find a surprisingly consistent “best” configuration that can balance the individual preferences of both seekers and solvers. In addition, we identify social trust, risk aversion, and the need for cognition as three personal characteristics of individuals in seeker organizations and solvers that influence their preferred configuration of platform design. Our findings help intermediaries operating a crowdsourcing platform to offer nuanced platform interactions that align how individuals in seeker organizations (e.g., project managers) and individual solvers create and capture value in crowdsourcing. Furthermore, we contribute to the micro‐foundations of open innovation by proposing SET as a novel perspective to examine how the expectations and value drivers of all parties involved in a crowdsourcing project can be balanced.

In their individual essays, the contributors to this conversation offer pointed insights into different aspects of collaboration in the context of grand challenges. In addition, we identify four pivotal themes across these essays, which, so we argue, constitute suitable foci for scholarly collaboration across community boundaries with the potential to recenter the “big picture” of collaboration. Our hope is to facilitate cross-pollination and thereby generate additional rigorous, realistic, and actionable approaches to the topic.

What makes a “ fake ” seemingly “ authentic ”? The case of Rick’s Café, known worldwide for the movie Casablanca , situates that question. Rick’s was a set constructed on a Hollywood sound stage. Another Rick’s was created materially in Casablanca decades later. Consumers are aware of this liminal condition. It is the reflexivity inherent in this awareness of performative inauthenticity that makes the case both appropriate and nuanced as an opportunity to explore paradoxes of authenticity embodied in a tourist place. The authenticity-fakery relationship is considered theoretically, not as a dualism ( either-or ), but as a duality ( both-and ). Empirically, the case is analyzed through an onsite investigation and a virtual ethnography. Four paradoxical dimensions of authenticity (liminal environment, liminal interpretation, liminal affectivity, and liminal recreation) are identified. Tourists, we submit, may experience several authenticities (i.e., objective, constructed, and existential) simultaneously and paradoxically, contributing to a reconceptualization of the tourist experience.

ABSTRACTPrevious studies on the effect of school lunch programs on child obesity have been hampered by effect heterogeneity, self‐selection, and stigma‐induced under‐reporting, having produced mixed findings. Its potential long‐lasting effect has also been debated. We study the body‐weight effect of a Japanese school lunch program, which provides nutritional lunch to all students at participating municipal junior highs. The lack of means testing and individual participation choice offers causal estimates of actual participation for a diverse and representative group of children. By exploiting almost universal school lunch coverage for elementary school children nationwide, we construct a difference‐in‐differences (DID) framework. Using the 1975–1994 National Nutrition Survey, a nationally representative household survey with measured height and weight, we find a regressive benefit of school lunch: while no statistically significant effect is found for the full sample, we find significant obesity‐reducing effects for the subsamples of children with low socioeconomic backgrounds. This obesity‐reducing effect remains at least a few years after graduation, implying effect through not only nutritional contents but also guiding healthy eating behavior. We find little evidence that school lunch reduces underweight. Propensity score weighting, the DID analysis for percentiles, and various falsification tests confirm the robustness of our estimates.

This study examines two types of smartphone users in m-commerce: ‘Searchers’, who only search for products using their smartphones, and ‘Purchasers’, who both search and purchase using their smartphones. We offer a Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)-based conceptualisation of m-commerce adoption, including new measures of key constructs. Drawing on Psychological Ownership (PO) theory, we examine differences between Searchers and Purchasers. Data collected from smartphone users in Australia reveals that smartphone network and device characteristics play negligible roles in m-commerce adoption. Instead, users’ propensity to make purchases via their smartphone is influenced by user characteristics, including self-efficacy, hedonic experiences and habitual smartphone use. These latter variables represent viable pathways for retailers to convert searchers into purchasers. We also find that, for purchasers, Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) is an important direct driver of Intention to Purchase (ITP). In contrast, for searchers, the strong effects of PEOU on ITP are fully mediated by Perceived Usefulness. Last, we determine that psychological ownership is significantly higher among purchasers than searchers, suggesting increasing PO is an additional mechanism to transition searchers into purchasers.

BACKGROUND: Increased use of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) can reduce the rate of unintended pregnancies and abortions. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the Australian Contraceptive ChOice pRoject (ACCORd) trial intervention resulted in sustained LARC use and decreasing unplanned pregnancies. STUDY DESIGN: Longitudinal 3-year follow-up study of the ACCORd cluster randomised controlled trial. Study setting was metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. Participants were patients of ACCORd family physicians, identified their gender as women, and that had not actively withdrawn from the ACCORd trial 12-month survey. Intervention family physicians undertook online training to deliver structured contraceptive counselling (non-biased, scripted descriptions of all available contraceptive methods, with a particular focus on the efficacy and safety of each method) and were also given access to an online booking system enabling rapid referral to long-acting reversible contraception insertion clinics. Family physicians in the control group provided usual care. Women who participated in the original ACCORd trial were invited to take part in a follow-up survey three years after completing their original baseline assessment. The primary outcome was the continuation rate of use of long-acting reversible contraception methods compared with non-long-acting reversible contraception methods. Secondary outcomes included contraceptive method used, satisfaction with contraceptive choice, and the number of unintended pregnancies and abortions. RESULTS: 75% of the original ACCORd trial participants (N=531) agreed to take part in the follow-up study. At three years, the continuation rate of long-acting reversible contraception was 66%, significantly higher than for non-long-acting reversible contraception methods at 55% (P=0.027). Satisfaction with their method of contraception was higher among long-acting reversible contraception users compared to oral contraceptive pill use...

ABSTRACTThe paper examines why despite many inquiries and government reforms, the working conditions of aged care workers have remained precarious. The study draws on an analysis of Australian workforce survey data, government documents, and hearing transcripts from a recent Royal Commission into the sector's workforce and care practices. The results paint a complex and nuanced picture of how the government and providers rely on older or culturally and linguistically diverse women to carry out high standards of quality care with minimal worker benefits and protection while devaluing their work as unprofessional. The analysis also highlights the coexistence of four types of precariousness in aged care work: precariousness as a social category, a shared experience, a set of work practices, and management. Further, I find that a series of paradoxes rooted in cultural perceptions of care and older and/or diverse women maintain precariousness at work by constructing workers as the problem, entrenching disadvantage borne from intersectionality and shifting the burden of responsibility and part of the cost of caring for older people onto workers. I suggest that little improvement is possible until the systemic and sociocultural issues around care and the workers engaged in the transaction of care are tackled together as a whole.

ABSTRACTThis paper draws on a survey and interview data, collected from a group of 180 donors who made monetary gifts to an Australian higher education institution, to better understand what drives individuals and organisations to donate to Indigenous initiatives. The analysis helped to identify five types of donors: the Advocate and Prescriptive donors, the supporter types who donate to Australian Indigenous initiatives and the Constrained, Reserved and Opposing donors, non‐supporter types who withhold from donating to such initiatives. The results show a wide range of motivations, varied attitudes and multiple perceived barriers to donating to Australian Indigenous initiatives. The study reveals that while some donors do engage and reflect on issues around the role of philanthropy in achieving positive outcomes for Indigenous people, others' motivations and barriers to donating confirm the concerns of scholars who have shown how philanthropy can maintain inequality and colonial practices. This paper also provides practical implications for developing a reflexive approach to philanthropy that supports Indigenous initiatives.

PurposeThis viewpoint aims to contribute to understanding corporate power in two key respects. First, it provides insight into the ways in which transnational corporations continue to operate as vehicles for neo-colonial projects, which are underpinned by exploitation and racial hierarchies. Second, it highlights the significance of investigative journalism in providing a crucial empirical resource for both activists engaged in holding power to account and scholars engaged in critical research into corporate power and civil society activism.Design/methodology/approachThis viewpoint combines an interview with an investigative journalist and the academic commentary provided by the authors in response to the interview.FindingsThis viewpoint highlights contemporary mutations in the concentration of corporate power, along three broad themes: the growth of transnational institutions critical to enabling and supporting abuses of transnational corporate power and neo-colonialism; the emergence of corporate-run political territories secured by private security organisations; and the corporate attack on progressive politics. It also analyses the important role of investigative journalism in advancing knowledge of transnational corporate power as well as its role in holding such power to account and the urgent need for new forms of independent journalism to support union activism, whistleblowing and other forms of democratic activism.Research limitations/implicationsThis viewpoint engages with an alternative tradition of social critique and the critique of corporate power, which has be...

PurposeThe provision of an accessible and inclusive built environment is both a common regulatory requirement for architects and facilities managers, and a critical issue of equitable access for people with disability. Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is key to ensuring appropriate building accessibility is provided and maintained. Improved Building Information Modelling (BIM) integration with Facilities Management (FM) will enable more effective POE over time. This study aims to define and demonstrate the practicability and utility of a particular configuration of emerging BIM and related digital technologies, applied in the field.Design/methodology/approachA field study approach is applied to investigate the practicability and utility of the technology configuration and POE procedures. A proposed technology configuration is applied to evaluate 21 accessible bathrooms across three university buildings in Sydney, Australia. First, a checklist of technical functionality for a POE of accessible bathrooms particular to the field study FM context is established. The checklist is based on a review of recent literature, relevant standards, best practice guidelines, expert opinions, and the organisational requirements. Then, a technical and procedural approach to POE and BIM integration with FM is defined and applied in the field. Finally, a quantitative analysis of the results is presented and discussed relative to both the particular and general FM contexts.FindingsThe use of low-cost BIM and related technologies can usefully be applied in the field to promote a more progressive integration of BIM with FM and provide enhanced baseline models for ongoing POE. A rudimentary risk assessment of...

One approach to improve a firm’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating is to acquire a target with a higher relative ESG rating. We explore changes in an acquirer’s ESG rating around merger and acquisition (M&A) announcements and provide empirical evidence of a positive relationship between the change in an acquirer’s ESG rating and the target’s relative ESG rating. Of the three components of an ESG rating, an acquirer’s environmental rating displays the largest increase, with social and governance ratings exhibiting a smaller but still significant post-merger increase. This relationship is weaker for cross-border deals or cross-industry deals. However, deals that are both cross-border and same-industry are associated with a larger increase in an acquirer’s ESG rating. In addition to improved ESG ratings, the acquisition of a firm with a superior ESG rating is also associated with higher bid premiums and improved post-merger financial performance which suggests that acquirers act in shareholders’ best interests.

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate consumer responses to diverse racial representation (DRR). DRR is a policy of ensuring that employees from racial minority groups are fairly represented in a company's teams and it is one way brands could promote marketplace equality. Although researchers have begun to investigate DRR's implications for marketing, little attention has been paid to the roles of power distance belief and religiosity in this domain.Design/methodology/approachThis research reports three experimental studies examining consumer responses to the adoption (vs non-adoption) of DRR. Moreover, these studies explore the moderating role of power distance belief and religiosity while establishing the mediating role of perceived altruism.FindingsThe results demonstrate that a brand’s DRR adoption (vs non-adoption) decision increases willingness to pay and advocacy intentions. Furthermore, the positive effect of the brand’s DRR adoption on willingness to pay and advocacy intentions is stronger among consumers with lower power distance beliefs driven by perceived altruism. This research also identifies religiosity as a boundary condition, such that the interactive effect between DRR adoption and power distance belief is attenuated among consumers with higher levels of religiosity.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides valuable avenues for future research. The authors found that cultural and religious values are critical in consumer responses to racial equity initiatives; future research should explore other cultural variables not examined. Additional research is needed to investigate other factors that impact consumer reactions to racial equity initiatives from different settings to extend the ...

AbstractA crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance. As ‘intelligent’ and ‘agentic’ technologies become further involved in work, it is increasingly important to understand the impact of things upon work performance. Although research adopting an entanglement perspective (e.g., practice theory, sociomateriality, affordances, science and technology studies) has convincingly demonstrated things are integral to work performance, there is a need for heightened clarity on how things contribute to performing work. Informed by an ontology of things and drawing on an ethnographic study in the biotechnology industry, we propose things are constitutive of work performance in three interrelated ways: (1) by belonging to a nexus of useful things, (2) through performing interlinked roles, and (3) while co‐constituting work performance in concert with practitioners. Our theoretical and empirical account offers a more integrative and comprehensive understanding of how things are constitutive of work performance compared to the existing entanglement literature. This opens several new possibilities for enhancing work performance in organizations, which we outline in the paper.

Abstract We investigate the predictive power of loan spreads for forecasting business cycles, specifically focusing on more constrained, intermediary-reliant firms. We introduce a novel loan-market-based credit spread constructed using secondary corporate loan-market prices over the 1999 to 2023 period. Loan spreads significantly enhance the prediction of macroeconomic outcomes, outperforming other credit-spread indicators. We also explore the underlying mechanisms and differentiate between borrower fundamentals and financial frictions. Evidence suggests that supply-side frictions are a decisive factor in the forecasting ability of loan spreads.

This review synthesizes 24 years of event impact evaluation research published in Event Management, tracing the evolution and application of methodologies for measuring the economic, social, and environmental impacts of events. It reveals a significant disparity, with environmental impact measurement notably lagging behind its economic and social counterparts. It also shows that most studies focus on a single impact dimension, with progress towards more holistic evaluation advancing at a slower pace. For topics that have received limited coverage in Event Management, this review also incorporates research from other outlets, to provide a more complete discussion of available methods for event impact evaluation. This curated collection serves as a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners, providing insights into the field???s current state and potential future directions. Challenges in event impact evaluation are discussed including balancing standardization with context-specific customization and navigating trade-offs between holistic and more nuanced approaches.

Participation in sports significantly enhances the physical and psychological wellbeing and social inclusion of children with disability. However, various constraints, including social, cultural, and environmental factors, limit their sports participation. This study investigates Danish parents’ perceptions of barriers to their children's sports participation, focusing on differences based on disability type. Using an online questionnaire distributed via social media, newsletters, and school communication platforms, we collected responses from 1158 parents. The questionnaire covered disability and support needs, participation levels before, during, and after COVID-19 restrictions, constraints to participation, and demographic profiles. Grounded in leisure constraint theory, we identified the primary constraints as: lack of accommodation in sports clubs, insufficient support, inadequate adaptation of activities, difficulties in group participation, untrained coaches, and a shortage of helpers. Correlation analysis revealed that parents of children with psychological/social impairments found these more constraining compared to parents of children with mobility impairments. Most constraints were structural, highlighting omission or lack of adapted initiatives. Children with psychological/social impairments faced the most significant challenges due to inadequate trainer knowledge and inclusion efforts. While initiatives in Denmark have improved participation for children with mobility disability, further efforts are needed to support those with psychological/ social disability.

ABSTRACTDespite rising living costs, consumers are increasingly investing in shared consumption experiences in the pursuit of happiness. However, in financially constrained contexts, payment distribution—that is, how the cost of an experience is covered among consumers—has become a more salient and psychologically meaningful component of the experience. This paper investigates how the payment distribution shapes anticipated happiness in shared consumption between two consumers. Across three experimental studies (total N = 2640), we find that consumers anticipate greater happiness from an experience when paying the full amount (vs. 50:50) when the experience is shared with a strong (vs. weak) social tie. This effect is explained by the expectation of reciprocity, which becomes more salient in interactions with weak ties, and in turn reduces anticipated happiness (Studies 2 and 3). These findings reveal that who pays has important affective consequences when consuming experiences together with a strong social tie, offering new insight into the intersection of financial decision‐making, social ties, and consumer wellbeing.

In this article, we describe the sources of funding cited, and topics of research associated with that funding, in Australian disability research. We conducted a systematic search for publicly available peer-reviewed papers reporting the findings of Australian disability research studies focused on Australia in the 2018–2020 period. Papers identified were analyzed according to research topic, participant group, study methodology, and funding sources acknowledged. In total, 1,241 relevant papers were identified. Of these, 582 papers (47%) reported at least one funding source. Government sources accounted for most funding identified ( n = 487), followed by university sector ( n = 112), nongovernment organizations ( n = 99) and for-profit organization funding ( n = 17). The most funding went to intellectual disability (22%), autism (15%), and psychosocial disability (12%). Only 16 (1.3%) papers citing funding sources reported their research was conducted in partnership with people with disability. Research funding influences the priorities of disability research, how it is conducted, and its outputs. Funding therefore shapes the information available to build evidence-based systems of service and support for and with people with disability. It is essential that research funding policies are considered in relation to broader disability policy goals and the research priorities of the disability community.

Abstract This paper introduces a common-interest communication game that generates pragmatics, where meaning emerges from the use of a preexisting language under equilibrium selection driven solely by efficiency. A key feature is that the sender describes the current state to the receiver by combining preexisting statements. This approach allows us to formalize two communication frictions: (i) longer descriptions incur higher costs, and (ii) with some probability, the receiver interprets only the conventional meaning. The absence of one friction leads to some efficient equilibria exhibiting pragmatics that disregards conventional meaning. However, when communication costs are sufficiently small, given the other friction, any efficient equilibrium exhibits natural pragmatics that refines conventional meaning, reflecting the context provided by the probability distribution of states. The resulting equilibrium pragmatics aligns with major linguistic theories, including Grice’s cooperative principle (1975) and Sperber and Wilson’s relevance theory (1986).

AbstractImproving the representation of women in corporate leadership is a key postfeminist project. Postfeminism—or the integration of women's empowerment and neoliberalism in the decades following the Women's Movement—has shaped the experience of Australian women in corporate leadership roles since the 1990s. As such, while efforts to improve the number of women in leadership have yielded admirable progress, achieving sustainable improvements in corporate diversity requires attending to collective postfeminist scripts. In order to better understand the global and local features of Australian postfeminism, this article analyses “Corporate Woman,” a mainstream newspaper column published regularly by the Australian Financial Review between 1988 and 1998. It finds that similar political and economic systems, and feminist histories, encouraged Australian postfeminism to adopt many core transnational tenets. At the same time, aspects of Australia's national history and identity, including egalitarianism, emphasis on nuclear families, and context of major economic change, contributed to localism in postfeminism's expression. This expands our understanding of postfeminism, and can help empower corporate women by uncovering the collective cognitive maps that have guided policy interventions, and women's lived experiences in corporate leadership roles.

Annual reports are crucial for corporate accountability, and for firms to obtain their social licence to operate. Although research has identified the internal company drivers of annual reporting, we know less about the way Australian annual reports developed as a long-term, collective practice. Through a historical, cross-sectional content analysis, this article examines the impact of external institutional pressures on the annual reports of large Australian corporations. Interpreting the results with new institutional theory (NIT), I find that coercive pressure from company regulations and societal expectations, and normative pressures from the accounting profession, have improved standards of corporate accountability. Simultaneously, normative pressures encouraged companies to use annual reports for corporate public relations. This has contributed to annual reports that are homogenous in content but with conflicting audiences and objectives. The analysis highlights the institutionalisation and historical path dependencies of annual reports and contextualises current concerns over disclosure quality and transparency.

Understanding how occupations change their judgments about organizations has important consequences for occupations themselves, organizations, and ultimately for institutional change. Collectively held judgments about the value of specific organizational forms are difficult to change because occupations share normative understandings about what is good practice and discriminate across organizations based on this knowledge. Given the difficulty of changing collectively held judgments in occupational communities, the question asked in this article is: How does normative judgment change about organizations develop within an occupational community? We investigate how judgement change occurs in an occupational community in the context of the television broadcasting sector in South Korea. We study how producers in public broadcasters changed their respective judgments about public broadcasters and new commercial broadcasters. Producers found expressing judgment change difficult initially, yet judgment change among more experienced producers enabled it to spread among rank-and-file producers, ultimately leading to an “exodus” of producers from public broadcasters. Findings suggest that occupational members at different stages of their careers play distinct roles in bringing about collective judgment change in occupations. Our study highlights the importance of normative judgments by expert occupations as an impactful means by which occupations can withdraw cooperation or sever their relationship with organizations. The article also contributes to the study of occupational communities in creative industries.

View description>>

Growing alarm has been expressed about populism in mainstream political parties, yet the vast majority of scholarship investigating populism has documented the role of radical right populist parties rather than that of mainstream parties. This article draws on non-essentialist understandings of populism—the idea that populism is a central aspect of democracy and not restricted to the realm of radical political parties and “populist” leaders—to examine how mainstream political leaders discursively articulate the antagonism between “the people” and the institutional order. We also examine how mainstream party leaders, who are likely to be deeply embedded in the institutional order, negotiate tensions between the institutionalized system and populist articulation. We study this in the Australian context, which is appropriate for examining populism in mainstream political parties given that far-right and far-left parties have gained much smaller shares of electoral support in Australia than elsewhere. Our findings indicate that mainstream party leaders discursively construct the idea of “the people” by homogenizing disparate social demands and claiming their right to represent the community as a whole. In doing so, these leaders must negotiate pressures from the institutionalized order in the form of clientelism and accountability. This article contributes insights on the reconciliation of contemporary populism with institutionalized settings and processes.

Rapid technological advancements have transformed global education, bringing both opportunities and challenges, such as technostress. This study explores how educators' technological innovation intention and emotional responses impact innovation performance in e-learning environments, focusing on emotional strain from information overload and technological complexity. Using information processing theory and data from 592 Chinese higher education educators, the study finds that emotional cognition and emotional management mediate the relationship between technological innovation intention and innovation performance. These results highlight the need to address educators' emotional factors for effective technological integration in education. The study contributes to the education and technology fields by extending information processing theory, showing how emotional dynamics influence innovation, and offering strategic recommendations for policymakers and leaders to reduce technostress, enhance innovation, and improve performance through emotional support and technology adoption strategies.

This paper establishes the optimal selling mechanism when a seller can incentivize an existing buyer to refer his privately known potential buyer to participate. We identify three optimal channels for providing referral incentives. First, if the existing buyer declares that no potential buyer exists, his virtual value is penalized. Second, if the existing buyer refers the potential buyer to the seller, his virtual value is boosted. Third, in some scenarios where this carrots-and-sticks-via-virtual-value approach is insufficient for creating proper referral incentives, the existing buyer is then given a constant referral bonus for referring the potential buyer. We also provide conditions under which the optimal mechanism can be implemented using simple mechanisms. Finally, we demonstrate that the conventional resale mechanism is suboptimal.

Central banks’ monetary policies are increasingly data-driven. To assess the consequences of such monetary policies, we study the equity ETF purchase program of the Bank of Japan (BOJ). We find that BOJ interventions under this program are highly predictable. To exploit this predictability, we design a portfolio strategy that buys (sells) stocks that are more (less) exposed to these interventions. Adjusting for known risk factors, this strategy earns a return of 12.90% per annum. BOJ interventions have a more positive impact on riskier stocks. Thus, the ETF purchase program aligns with the BOJ's goals of reducing equity risk premium by offering downside protection during periods of market uncertainty.

Whichever way you look at it, many women are paying a huge economic price in addition to the physical, emotional and psychological damage done to them by domestic violence. It is no accident that employment and education – the pathway to better employment – are targeted by perpetrators as a prime means of depleting or even destroying women’s ability to be financially self-sufficient. These violent partners are denying the women who live – or once lived – with them the opportunity to be part of the revolution that has transformed the lives of recent generations of women. They are denying history as well as hurting these individual women. As a result, many women lose their livelihood. For far too many women, the escalation of violence too often means that the next thing she may lose is her life.
