How employee share ownership plans impact firms’ market value: A conflict of interest theory approach
No full textInternational audienceWe investigated whether the market places a higher value on banks with employee share ownership plans (ESOPs) than on those without them. Using a variety of empirical models, we found that ESOPs increased the market value of banks. However, this positive effect occurred only when banks were transparent or located in countries with strong shareholder protection. Our findings demonstrated that if banks were opaque or shareholder protection was weak, outside investors' concerns about managerial entrenchment in widely held banks and behind‐the‐scenes relationships between majority shareholders and managers in closely held banks outweighed the perceived benefits of ESOPs. Our study contributes to the literature by proposing a novel approach to study the effects of ESOPs through the prism of conflict of interest theory. Our findings also shed light on stakeholders' rationales for opposing or adopting ESOPs

University’s shared vision for research and teaching: an international comparative study
No full textInternational audienceHow do universities encourage academics to buy into a shared vision while often setting punitive targets in teaching and research? This article explores possible antecedents of a university’s shared vision and its relationships with academics’ research and teaching performance in the era of managerialism. This cross-country study of two large universities in the UK and Vietnam draws on data from multiple sources to uncover the key components of a university’s shared vision. A survey strategy was adopted. Data were collected from different sources, using a stratified random sampling technique from academics of different schools at those universities. A total of 431 survey responses from academics at these universities were included for analysis, employing structure equation modelling. It provides fresh insights into whether having a shared vision can benefit academics’ research and teaching performance. The findings of this study show that while achieving a high degree of shared vision may enhance research performance, it may do little to improve teaching performance. The study provides empirical evidence indicating that a shared vision emerges as strongly rooted within individual employees rather than managers, challenging the common belief that a shared vision emanates primarily from the top down. This article advances social exchange theory (SET) by showing the interdependence of workplace antecedents, personal attributes, interpersonal connections, and performance. It introduces a framework for the relationship between universities’ shared vision with its possible antecedents and with academics’ teaching performance and research performance. The article also discusses useful implications for higher education leaders, based on the findings of the study
Short video marketing and travel intentions: The interplay between visual perspective, visual content, and narration appeal
No full textInternational audienceSocial media short videos represent a powerful tool for tourism destination promotion. However, little research has investigated their effect on tourist travel intentions. Drawing on the construal level theory and the elaboration likelihood model, this study investigates the interactive effects between visual and verbal framing of promotional tourism short video on travel intention through two scenario-based experiments. Study 1 examined the interaction effect between visual perspective and visual content. The results indicated that the match between first-person (versus third-person) perspective and activity-centric (versus site-centric) content fosters higher travel intention through enhancing imagery fluency. Study 2 further examined the moderating role of narration message appeal and revealed that first-person perspective with activity-centric content leads to higher travel intention when paired with rational (versus emotional) narration messages, with affect intensity playing a significant mediating role. These findings contribute to knowledge on short video marketing and provide valuable insights for tourism marketers
The effects of environmental performance and green innovation on corporate venture capital
No full textInternational audienceAbstractThe aim of this study is to provide investors, policymakers and others with information on how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and green innovation affect corporate financial performance. Although reporting by corporate venture capital (CVC) firms on GHG emissions as well as their green innovation has increased significantly, especially in the last two decades, little is known about how these two factors affect financial performance. To fill this gap, this article investigates the relationships between environmental performance, green innovation, and financial performance in CVC investments in the US over an 18-year period between 2002 and 2019. The results show the effects of GHG-emission reduction and green innovation, both separately and combined, on the financial performance of CVC firms. These findings contribute to the ongoing debate on the role of corporations in the efforts to reach net-zero emissions. The results indicate that emission reductions give firms a financial advantage over time and that there is a financial interest for corporate investors to drive green innovation. These results have important implications for research and practice and illustrate the importance for corporate investors of including ecological considerations in their overall business strategies to create competitive advantage
Developing a Culture of Solidarity Through a Three-Step Virtuous Process: Lessons from Common Good-Oriented Organizations
No full textInternational audienceSolidarity is a principle oriented toward the common good that ensures that each person can have the necessary goods and services for a dignified life. As such, it is very often approached in a theoretical manner. In this empirical study, we explored the development of a culture of solidarity within an organizational context. In particular, we qualitatively investigated how a culture of solidarity can concretely spread within and beyond organizations by conducting 68 semi-structured interviews with members of three common good-oriented organizations located in the Philippines, Korea, and Paraguay. We found that a culture of solidarity develops through a three-step process that includes constructing the solidarity mission, sharing solidarity, and disseminating solidarity, which together form a virtuous circle. We further found that solidarity is not supported by constrained, instrumentalized, or sacrificial actions, but can instead be a free, authentic, and fulfilling way for members of an organization to flourish while serving the mission of their company
Understanding how virtuous lenders encourage support for peer-to-peer platforms’ prosocial initiatives
No full textInternational audiencePeer-to-peer (P2P) rental service platforms—i.e., platforms where owners of private possessions (e.g., houses) lend them to other people—often deliver appeals that encourage platform users to contribute to prosocial causes (e.g., through charitable donations). Although many users are skeptical about such appeals, this research argues that exposing users to “virtuous” lenders—i.e., lenders who convey ethicality and unselfishness through their profile descriptions—elicits positive reactions to the above-mentioned appeals. Three experimental studies demonstrate that this occurs because users’ perception of a lender’s virtuousness extends to the platform and facilitates a belief that it is genuinely committed to prosocial causes. This perception, in turn, enhances users’ willingness to engage in charitable giving. However, the beneficial effect of virtuous lenders vanishes when users exhibit high moral disengagement. P2P platforms are, therefore, advised to rely on virtuous lenders and strengthen users’ moral principles to increase the persuasiveness of their prosocial appeals
L’Education Thérapeutique en oncologie : mieux comprendre la satisfaction des patients envers leur expérience vécue
No full textInternational audienceThis research aims to deep our understanding of patient’s satisfaction with Patient Education in oncology. The research model, tested on 207 patients (breast cancer), confirms that empowerment and relational proximity are two major antecedents of patient’s satisfaction, attitude and word of mouth two consequences. However, the relationships established are moderated by patient’s profile in terms of the perceived value of their own experience. These results will help to promote Patient Education among stakeholders and thus will facilitate the development of this personalized and global care practice. Indeed, Patient Education is essential in the management of chronic diseases, but is still limited in oncology.Cette recherche propose de mieux comprendre la satisfaction des patients envers l’Education Thérapeutique en oncologie. Un test de modèle effectué sur 207 patientes (cancer du sein) confirme que l’empowerment et la proximité relationnelle en sont deux antécédents majeurs, l’attitude et le bouche-à-oreille deux conséquences importantes. Les relations sont toutefois modérées par le profil des patientes en termes de valeur perçue de l’expérience vécue. Ces résultats permettront de mieux valoriser l’Education Thérapeutique auprès des parties prenantes et de favoriser ainsi le développement de ce service de soins personnalisé et global, essentiel dans la prise en charge des maladies chroniques, mais encore limité en oncologie
