AI-Augmented Leadership and Employee Well-Being in the MENA Region: Mediating Effects of Fairness and Psychological Safety and the Moderating Role of Authoritarian Leadership
Full text linkThis study aims to investigate the influence of AI-enhanced leadership on employee well-being in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It examines the mediating role of psychological safety and perceived fairness of AI, and explores the moderating effect of authoritarian leadership styles. A quantitative study was conducted using data collected from a survey of 104 professionals in Tunisia, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia. This research applied the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique to test the proposed conceptual framework. The results show that AI-augmented leadership has a positive impact on employee well-being. This relationship is partially mediated by psychological safety and perceptions of AI fairness. Furthermore, the presence of authoritarian leadership reduces the beneficial effects of AI-augmented leadership on reducing employee stress, suggesting that cultural norms of leadership influence the effectiveness of AI deployment. This research is among the first to empirically explore the intersection between AI technologies, leader behavior, and employee well-being in the underinvestigated context of the MENA region. It proposes a regionally based, human-centered model of technology leadership, thus addressing the pressing need for ethical and inclusive AI adoption frameworks in public and private organizations undergoing digital transformation

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
Agile leadership as a catalyst for entrepreneurial orientation: The mediating role of innovation capability in smes
No full textObjective: In dynamic and unstable environments, the success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) depends on their capacity to innovate and adopt entrepreneurial behaviors. This study examines the effect of agile leadership on the entrepreneurial orientation of Tunisian SMEs, analyzing the mediating role of innovation capacity.
Theoretical Framework: In dynamic and unstable environments, the success of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) depends on their capacity to innovate and adopt entrepreneurial behaviors.
Method: We collected data from 173 SME managers and employees using a structured questionnaire and employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to test hypothetical relationships.
Results and Discussion: The results reveal that agile leadership positively influences innovation capacity, which in turn has a significant effect on entrepreneurial orientation. The mediation analysis shows that innovation capacity ensures the full transmission of the effect of agile leadership on entrepreneurial orientation, thus confirming its key role in this process.
Research Implications: These results demonstrate to SME managers the importance of developing agile leadership practices to foster innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit within their organizations. The study offers concrete practical implications for strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs in uncertain and rapidly changing contexts, with an emphasis on developing internal innovation capabilities as a strategic lever.
Originality/Value: The study examines the effect of agile leadership on the entrepreneurial orientation of Tunisian SMEs, analyzing the mediating role of innovation capacity
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
