The effect of faultline and incentive schemes on knowledge-sharing behaviour
No full textPurpose: This study aims to examine the effect of faultline based on job responsibility and their interaction with the incentive scheme on knowledge-sharing behavior. Design/methodology/approach: This research is an experimental study with a 2 × 2 factorial design between subjects. Faultline and incentive schemes are manipulated into two groups (strong faultline–weak faultline and group incentive–individual incentives). This study involved 89 undergraduate accounting students as participants. Findings: This research shows that a strong faultline created a strong social identity effect. Hence, the knowledge-sharing behavior among group members tends to be lower than the weak faultline. Knowledge-sharing behavior tends to be higher in group incentive schemes than individual ones. However, there is no support for interactions between incentive schemes and faultline effects on knowledge-sharing behavior. The results indicate that forming a working subgroup based on informational characteristics attributes reduces cooperative behavior and knowledge sharing between groups. Originality/value: This study adds a new addition to faultline literature by examining the effect of faultline and incentive schemes on knowledge-sharing behavior based on informational characteristics attributes. Previous research on faultline and knowledge sharing was limited and primarily focused on faultlines created by demographic attributes. This study also enriches faultline literature on knowledge-sharing behavior using an experimental design. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited
The Effect of Levers of Control and Leadership Style on Creativity
No full textIntroduction: This research aims to investigate how leadership assists the levers of control (LOC) to influence employees’ creativity. Background problem: Managing a company is challenging due to the numerous issues faced, including those relating to the employees’ creativity. Prior studies showed different results concerning how company controls constrained or enhanced the employees’ creativity. Previous studies explained that incentives can influence the employees’ creativity, but only temporarily. However, organizations require creativity continuously in order to sustain themselves. In response to this issue, it is essential to investigate other determinants that encourage employees’ creativity, and how the process is relevant to each organization’s core values. This study examines this through companies control systems and leadership aspects. Novelty: Our study attempts to complement previous studies and answer Spekle’s (2017) call. This study offers transformational leadership to strengthen employees’ creativity, aligned through the LOC. Research Methods: The data were collected via an online survey. The questionnaires were sent to startup companies’ employees who had worked in the creative divisions of those companies for a minimum of six months. There were 109 responses that we processed. This study used SEM-PLS to analyze the data. Finding/ Result: The LOC positively influenced employee creativity. The more leaders behaved as transformational leader, it strengthened LOC to influence employees’ creativity. Conclusion: This study shows that the dimensions used to establish the LOC should be integrated, to align the employees’ creative ideas for new methods of working. Furthermore, this study supports the prior research into the self-determination theory and answers Spekle et al (2017), that leadership is required to influence the employees. Particularly, companies should appoint appropriate leaders to encourage their employees’ creativity. Transformational leaders should be considered to be an option
SALES GROWTH, EARNINGS VOLATILITY, AND GREEN ACCOUNTING ON STOCK PRICES (EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA'S NON-CYCLICALS CONSUMER SECTOR)
No full textThis research aims to examine the indicators that determine stock prices. This study uses sample data in the form of 114 company data in the consumer non-cyclical sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020-2022. These companies were chosen because Indonesia was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and companies in this sector were categorized as fairly stable companies so investors were interested in their shares. The indicators used are sales growth, profit volatility, and green accounting. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS 29 software. The results of this study indicate that profit volatility has a significant effect on stock prices. In contrast, sales growth and green accounting do not have a substantial effect on stock prices. It is recommended to include additional indicators in various business sectors for further research. Keywords : Corporate Sustainability; Green Accounting; Sales Growth; Profitabilit
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
“Truth Vs. Slack Inducing” Paradox: How Does Compensation Scheme Mitigate Social Pressure on Budgetary Slack?
Full text linkThis research aims to examine the role of the compensation scheme in mitigating the negative impact of social pressure on the creation of budgetary slack. There are not clear phenomenon, how can compensation methods with pressure (penalty) actually be better able to reduce budgetary slack compared to compensation methods without penalty? This research contributes by validating the role of truth inducing and slack inducing compensation scheme in order to mitigate the budgetary slack through the perspective of expectancy theory. Results from experimental study among 56 undergraduate accounting students showed that obedience pressure tends to encourage individuals to create budgetary slack compared to while they experience pressure from the peers (H1). Another finding from this research is the tendency of individuals to create budgetary slack tends to be lower when they accept the slack inducing compensation mechanism than truth inducing (H2). These indicate that slack inducing compensation scheme is better used than truth inducing in mitigating the creation of budgetary slack. Different level of risk faced by the individual, especially in the absence of fines or sanctions if the budget target is not reached, give different impact on individual. Our research provides practical implication when individuals get stressed, compensation schemes are less effective in minimizing the effect of social pressure on the creation of budgetary slack.
