Safety at work
No full textInternational audienceSafety at work refers to a vast literature across multiple disciplines and fields. In this entry aimed for readers in the field of organizational psychology, we first provide a short overview of the main areas in which this literature addresses safety at work. Next, we discuss a selection of broad topics that students, colleagues, and practitioners are likely to encounter when they consult the (organizational) psychology literature on safety at work. More specifically, we focus on psychological safety, safety culture/climate, and (determinants of) safety behavior. Following the review of these main topics we conclude with a paragraph dedicated to current changes in work settings and how they may influence safety at work
The ability of experience design characteristics to elicit epistemic value, hedonic value and visitor satisfaction in a wine museum
No full textInternational audienceApplying the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) theory in a wine museum context, this paper aims to examine how and why experience design characteristics influence visitor satisfaction, particularly investigating the role of epistemic (learning) and hedonic (having fun) values as the underlying mechanisms of this relationship
The relationship between ‘creative slack’ as an intangible asset and the innovative capabilities of the firm
No full textInternational audienceAbstract: The notion of creative slack purposefully refers to the notion oforganisational slack proposed by Penrose (1959), who suggested that managersin organisations always have some stock of unused resources that inevitablyaccumulate when developing projects and are the primary factors determiningthe growth and innovation of the firm. In this contribution, we aim at adding anew dimension to the notion of organisational slack. Our view is that in manyinnovative organisations the slack of unused ideas is essentially a creative one,which is accumulated in diverse communities through multiple projects. Thiscreative slack is a key intangible asset and a source of knowledge creation andinnovation. To explain how organisations may benefit from exploiting thecreative slack accumulated by communities, we rely on the analysis of two casestudies, that of the Hydro-Québec Research Institute (IREQ), and of UbisoftMontreal
The effects of retail apps on shopping well-being and loyalty intention: A matter of competence more than autonomy
No full textInternational audienceThe literature on retail apps has overlooked i/their potential impact on shopping well-being, ii/the underlyingmechanisms for this effect, and iii/how such shopping well-being can trigger loyalty in an omnichannel context.To fill this gap, we mobilize the self-determination theory and, in a first study, show that using a retail app doesnot increase consumers’ sense of autonomy, but does increase that of competence, thereby enhancing theirshopping well-being and loyalty intention. Using an experimental design, a second study replicates these findingsand shows that the sense of competence triggered by app customization leads to greater shopping well-beingamong people with low technology expertise
WATER SUBSIDIES, DESALINATION, AND SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: INSIGHTS FROMALGERIA
No full textWater desalination is an energy-intensive process, and its sustainability is influenced by energysubsidies and policies in Mediterranean countries. Energy subsidies can have both positive and negativeeffects on water desalination in the region, depending on how they are structured and their impact onthe cost and accessibility of energy. This chapter seeks to shed light on Algeria’s important efforts inwater subsidy management in recent years, aiming to analyze the challenges and opportunities forsimultaneously ensuring the long-term sustainability of water subsidies together with social equity, adual objective that Algeria has been prioritizing. Despite limited analytical studies on the Algerian case,our methodology focuses on analyzing recent water resource regulations, the decision-making processregarding desalination plant construction, and the trends in domestic natural gas consumption amidststagnant hydrocarbon industry investment. Utilizing descriptive analysis based on data from the WorldBank, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and Algeria’s domestic energy usage, we examine sixscenarios related to Algeria’s subsidy policy and water pricing. Our findings not only provide valuableinsights for policymakers in navigating subsidy scenarios but also underscore the significance ofAlgeria’s role as an energy-producing nation for supporting economic growth, particularly in the face ofclimate change challenges prevalent in the Mediterranean region. Our analysis suggests the importanceof international collaboration and domestic policy reforms, such as strengthening water legislation,revising tariff structures to align with international standards and local incomes, and establishinginstitutional frameworks to address water wastage and pollution. Scenarios 3 and 4 present optimaldecision-making opportunities with minimal socio-economic repercussions, highlighting the potentialfor balanced policy interventions

In vivo recording of visually evoked potentials with novel full diamond ECoG implants
No full textInternational audienceImplantable neuroprosthetic devices such as electrocorticography (ECoG) and intracortical microelectrodes have the potential to restore neurological functions in disabled individuals. They constitute the direct interface with the body and require long term efficiency. We propose an ultra-thin diamond-based implant to tackle challenges related with long term implantation, and demonstrate its functionality on rodents. Here we take advantage of thin-film diamond to generate not only the electrodes but also the thin passivation foil, leading to a full thin film diamond EcoG. Implants were fabricated based on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrodes connected through titanium nitride (TiN) conductive tracks, all being encapsulated in intrinsic diamond. A complete electrochemical characterization proved that the TiN tracks were well embedded inside diamond and the efficiency of the BDD electrodes. Functionality of the ECoG device was also provided by the recording of classic visual evoked potentials (VEPs) on wild-type mice and rats. This thin film diamond technology successfully responds to long term issues (linked with electrode material or device packaging) and holds the potential to inspire and pave the way for future generations of various electrode arrays
Business, Conflict, and Peace: A Systematic Literature Review and Conceptual Framework
No full textInternational audienceThere is growing recognition that business activity can promote peacebuilding, yet contradictory claims have emerged about company roles in peace and conflict. The research field of business and peace has focused on this issue, as have scholars in related fields like political science, economics, law, and ethics. This has led to definitional variations, alongside unit and level of analysis differences, which generate contradictory claims that hamper future research on this critical topic. To reconcile extant research around companies and their place in peacebuilding scholarship, we undertake an organizational‐level examination of the field, cataloguing the research by scholars across disciplines through a systematic review of 215 publications. Our review maps the known ways by which businesses can engage in peacebuilding, while demonstrating how organizations exercise their agency to create heterogenous effects on peace and conflict. Our analysis highlights the need for businesses to advance peace‐positive ends across a range of activities to reduce the conflict‐causing effects of business. By showing that businesses, intentionally or not, create peace or conflict through their activities, this article issues a call to action for scholars and decision‐makers to advance knowledge concerning peacebuilding organizations
