Individual factors and innovative work behaviours: the influence of organisational culture.
This study explores how individual factors—both stable traits (education) and more dynamic states (job satisfaction)—interact with organisational culture (individualism vs. collectivism) to influence Innovative Work Behaviours (IWBs). Drawing on the Interactionist Approach to Organisational Creativity, we propose and test a theoretical model using survey data from 200 employees across fifteen Italian organisations. The moderated model is analysed using SPSS PROCESS regression. Results show that education and job satisfaction both positively predict IWBs. Moreover, the effect of job satisfaction on IWBs varies depending on the type and level of organisational culture. Our findings offer two main contributions for research and practice. First, they suggest that contextual factors, such as organisational culture, significantly shape the influence of proximal individual variables like job satisfaction, while exerting minimal influence on more stable traits such as education. Second, they point to a more nuanced and multifaceted role of organisational culture than traditionally acknowledged in the literature. Specifically, collectivism appears to act as lever that amplify or reshape individual-level processes related to innovation under certain conditions. These insights provide practical guidance for organisations seeking to foster IWBs by aligning cultural values with employee motivations and experiences
A Geography of Social Capital in Italy 2008–2022
This chapter provides a diachronic analysis of social capital in Italy from 2008 to 2022, a period marked by economic and pandemic crises. We construct a provincial-level index based on indicators of social and political participation, two dimensions that exhibit divergent trends: the substantial stability or growth in the former contrasts with the sharp decline in the latter. Acknowledging a new complexity in citizen-politics relations, highlighted by the low correlation of voter turnout with other indicators, we propose a novel dual-index approach, considering alongside the “classical” index, a “critical” one that excludes electoral participation. A comparison with the data of the seminal studies of Putnam et al. (Making Democracy Work: Civic Traditions in Modern Italy, Princeton University Press, 1993) and Cartocci (Mappe del tesoro. Atlante del capitale sociale in Italia, Il Mulino, 2007) confirms the persistence of the traditional North-South divide. However, our analysis also reveals an internal reshaping within the North and, especially, the former red areas, characterized by a relative decline of metropolitan centers. This points to a more heterogeneous and dynamic distribution of social capital than previously documented
Innovazione e sviluppo sostenibile e inclusivo
L’innovazione non rappresenta un mero esercizio di creatività, ma un elemento strategico fondamentale per la sopravvivenza di lungo periodo e il successo di un’azienda. Non si tratta di un elemento isolato, ma di un processo continuo che richiede capacità di adattamento e di visione. Le aziende possono aumentare le proprie probabilità di prosperare e creare un futuro migliore anche in favore di tutti i partecipanti al ciclo produttivo se riescono a comprendere le diverse tipologie di innovazione da attuare.
Per mezzo della presente ricerca si intende accogliere i contributi di autori interessati a investigare il tema dell’Innovazione di processo, di marketing, organizzativa. In particolare, si intende approfondire l’innovazione e la relazione tra la stessa e lo sviluppo sostenibile e inclusivo. La ricerca pur avendo un focus aziendalistico è stata arricchita da contributi interdisciplinari
Effects of rapid acidification in marine seawater: Focus on Actinopterygii
The progressive acidification of the world's oceans has led to widespread concern regarding the potential consequences for marine biosphere. As a result, most research has been focused on the steady increase of dissolved CO2 and consequent acidification thus on calcifying species while less attention has been paid to the physiological and developmental impacts of teleost fish. However, rapid and massive release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the marine environment may occur due to both natural and anthropogenic causes. This review specifically examines the outcomes of rapid but confined CO2 emissions, with a focus on their role in accelerating the local acidification of seawater and on the related effects on Actinopterygii. It examines the impacts of elevated CO2 levels on marine fishes, also emphasizing the lack of experimental evidence on embryonic larval and larval phases, which are highly vulnerable to acid-base imbalances and related physiological disruptions. A broad review of literature published between 1963 and 2025, on fishes' exposure to varying CO2 conditions, highlights pronounced variability in responses across species and developmental stages. Early life phases frequently exhibit reduced survival, skeletal and sensory anomalies, and shifts in metabolic demand. Although some taxa demonstrate compensatory adjustments, the resulting energetic costs and physiological trade-offs can limit growth, reproduction, and long-term resilience. Advancing our understanding of fish vulnerability and adaptive potential under seawater acidification of marine fishes in an acidifying environment requires long-term, ecologically relevant designs and integrated approaches that link multiple life stages and biological scales
Modernisation of curricula on renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency for the built environment in Higher Education Institutions of Western Balkan countries
The building sector in Western Balkan countries not only represents one of the main energy consumers (>40 %) but is also currently based on dated and low-efficient technologies far from EU standards. Therefore, implementing the energy transition in these countries requires a new type of professional with a stronger background in clean technologies and energy efficiency for achieving near zero energy buildings. Herein we present the efforts within the EU co-funded project ‘reZEB’ of a group of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) towards modernising the current content of modules and teaching methods in four Universities in Albania and Kosovo and one Vocational Education Training for energy efficient solutions and renewable energy technologies (RETs) in buildings. The selection of the modernised content and the design of the learning outcomes to be pursued was guided by an analysis of the labour market needs and the peculiarities of the existing study programs. More precisely, more than 80 organisations have been interviewed, showing great interest in professionals and engineers with enhanced knowledge on energy efficiency and RETs for the built environment, and 26 modules belonging to bachelor, master and professional study programs have been proposed as new or modernised (accounting for around 110 ECTS)
