Labeling future markets: the making of the French repairability index
No full textInternational audienceThis article documents how and what type of promises are constructed through product qualification and labeling in contemporary markets. The introduction of a repairability index for electronic products in France requires producers to display an index on ‘how reparable’ new products are. Examining the genesis of this labeling device, through the analysis of original policy documents and interviews with stakeholders, we show that qualification does not only happen to be a result of struggles and ‘trials’ between actors, devices and values, but also produces promises about markets and society. This promissory dimension has two main features. First it is characteristic of the government of environmental issues to rely on the assumed relevance of market forces to foster change. Second, it complements the study on how actors problematize markets through market devices
When the producer behind the food matters: governance disclosure influencespurchase intentions through human presence
No full textInternational audienceAgricultural cooperatives play a key role in the food industry, yet consumer perception oftheir governance is underexplored. Three experiments reveal that a farmer-owned co-op label boosts purchase intentions by creating a sense of helping producers and humanizing the product, with stronger effects for smaller co-ops
What you don't know, can't hurt you: Avoiding donation requests for environmental causes
No full textInternational audienceRecent research suggests that people are willing to pay to avoid requests for prosocial behavior. However, it is unknown whether this applies to private pro-environmental requests. To study this, we conducted a preregistered, incentivized online experiment where participants played two consecutive dictator games with an environmental charity of their choice. In stage 1, we varied the type of dictator game and the information provided in a 2 × 2 factorial between-subject design: (i) a standard dictator game versus one with a costly opt-out option; (ii) with or without social information about the average donation made by participants in a previous session. All participants played a standard dictator game in stage 2, the primary aim of which was to capture temporal spillovers from stage 1. Overall, 9 % of participants opted out, leading to lower donations in the dictator game with the costly opt-out option. Providing social information decreases donations in the standard dictator game and appears to increase opt-outs when the costly opt-out option is available, but not statistically significant. Distinct spillover effects emerged depending on the options available and decisions made in stage 1, indicating that the context and motivation of the initial behavior affect the direction of the temporal spillover

No full textA global overview of the impacts of phytoplankton blooms on lake and reservoir ecosystem services
No full textInternational audiencePhytoplankton blooms are an increasing concern for lake and reservoir management due to their rising frequency, intensity, and negative impacts on water quality and ecosystem functioning. Influenced by global change factors like climate change and intensified land use, especially urbanization and agriculture, these blooms are expected to become more common worldwide. Despite extensive research on bloom dynamics, mechanisms, and toxicity (notably of cyanobacteria), there is no comprehensive synthesis of their effects on ecosystem services. To address this, we conducted a systematic review of 48 studies globally documenting the impacts of phytoplankton blooms on key ecosystem services: fisheries, drinking water supply, and recreation. In fisheries, blooms cause significant losses primarily through fish mortality and habitat degradation, with toxins also reducing fish activity. Drinking water services experience serious disruptions, sometimes requiring costly treatment upgrades, while consumer complaints about taste and odor are common. Recreational activities suffer from swimming bans, decreased site attractiveness, and health risks. Toxic cyanobacterial blooms were the most frequently reported and damaging, though non-toxic algal blooms also cause notable problems. While some studies mention potential benefits of non-toxic blooms, these are limited and highly context-dependent. Our review also underscores the value of including grey literature alongside peer-reviewed studies to capture a fuller range of bloom impacts. Finally, we compiled cost estimates from various contexts, providing a benchmark for assessing the economic burden of phytoplankton blooms. The diversity and severity of impacts call for proactive, adaptive management strategies to mitigate disruptions and safeguard ecosystem services in lakes and reservoirs facing growing bloom pressures

AMCIS 2025 Montréal Threshold Dynamics Between Job Demands and Technology's Perceived Usefulness for Strain Moderation Emergent Research Forum (ERF) Paper
No full textInternational audienceHealthcare professionals in France face significant challenges, including workforce shortages, rising administrative burdens, and high job demands, which contribute to professional strain and burnout. Health Information Technologies (HIT) have emerged as potential resources to mitigate these stressors by enhancing efficiency and care quality. However, the interplay between job demands and the perceived usefulness of HIT in reducing strain remains underexplored. This study applies the Job Demand-Resource (JD-R) model to healthcare professionals to investigate how job demands influence HIT's ability to function as a perceived useful resource for strain moderation. We hypothesize an inverted U-shaped relationship, where HIT usefulness increases with job demands up to a threshold, beyond which technostress diminishes its benefits. A quantitative survey will assess these dynamics among French healthcare professionals. Findings aim to inform policymakers and developers on designing HIT solutions that effectively support healthcare workers without exacerbating their strain.</div

Informal governance and day-to-day management: mechanisms for inclusion and diversity in nonprofit organizations
No full textInternational audienceThe nonprofit organizational studies have extensively examined the factors influ-encing commitment in the formal governance. However, there has been limited exploration of the mechanisms facilitating inclusion within the day-to-day man-agement of such organizations, particularly with regards to the most vulnerable individuals. This article endeavors to address this research gap by investigating these mechanisms within a specific nonprofit organization, namely the Accorderies, which has prioritized inclusion as a fundamental aspect of its associative project. The role of day-to-day management in inclusion and diversity is rarely considered, even though governance combines formal and informal aspects. However, given the debates on diversity in management, this day-to-day management could shed new light on the inclusion process. For practitioners, it could be a valuable lever for overcoming certain pitfalls linked with the process of inclusion in governance. Our analysis adopts a mixed-method research approach, employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses, involving focus group discussions conducted with six distinct autonomous Accorderies. The findings of our analysis reveal how: (1) diversity can serve as a catalyst for promoting inclusion, and fostering a sense of belonging and recognition of uniqueness of all each individual, and (2) the ex-changes and rules that underpin this nonprofit organization encourage people to be committed. These empirical findings lead us to emphasize the benefits of day-to-day management as a lever for inclusion of the most vulnerable, based on specific institutional rules and resources
A longitudinal study of consumer animosity: the case of the US presidential elections
No full textInternational audiencePurpose This study investigates the longitudinal effects of animosity towards the US following the 2020 presidential election and provides insights into how political events influence consumer animosity and willingness to buy. Design/methodology/approach This study used a survey-based within-subjects design, collecting data in the UK and France across five waves before, during, and after the 2020 US presidential election. Linear panel regressions were performed to analyze temporal changes in political animosity, product judgments, and willingness to buy US products. Findings The study found a significant decrease in consumer animosity towards the US following the 2020 election, along with increased willingness to buy US products. The triggering event intensified animosity’s effect on willingness to buy, while its effect on product judgment remained unchanged. These results highlight the malleable and contextual nature of consumer animosity and purchasing behavior. Animosity-related events are particularly influential for ethnocentric consumers. Research limitations/implications The focus on two European countries may limit the generalizability of the findings to other regions. Future research could explore the longitudinal effects of consumer animosity across diverse cultural settings and events. Practical implications This study underscores the importance of monitoring political events and associated shifts in consumer animosity. The results identify those marketing-relevant indicators that are more sensitive to animosity-relevant events (willingness to buy) and those that are less sensitive (product judgments). Social implications The study uncovers the intricate relationship between political events and consumer behavior, demonstrating how geopolitical developments can affect attitudes towards a country and its products internationally. Originality/value This study offers a longitudinal perspective that has been largely missing in the field of con-sumer animosity
