Underlying Why Leaders Cultivate Organizational Spirituality
Get PDFOur purpose is to answer the following research questions: (1) why do leaders support the development of organizational spirituality? Moreover, (2) what is the cor-relation between organizational spirituality and its theory-driven elements? We con-ducted a mixed-method study, collecting data through interviews with twenty-three leaders. Accordingly, we followed a qualitatively driven mixed-method research approach. To answer the first research question, we conducted a thematic analysis. In addition, we conducted quantitative content analyses (i.e., frequency and Pearson cor-relations) to answer the second research question. Overall, the thematic analysis indi-cates that leaders support the development of organizational spirituality to improve performance and well-being and enhance stakeholder connectedness. Moreover, they emphasized the crucial role of knowledge management and organizational learning in disseminating spirituality. On the other hand, bureaucracy, legislation, and technology hinder corporate spirituality from unfolding. Additionally, we outline decision-making supported by spirituality, considering the qualitative aspect, which is a shortage in the literature. Likewise, the correlation analysis identified significant positive correlations between organizational spirituality construct elements and influencers (e.g., knowl-edge management and macro-environment), supporting its theoretical conceptualiza-tion. This article pioneered empirically analyzing organizational spirituality and its the-ory-derived conceptualization, constituent elements, and influencers. Furthermore, it challenges assumptions about why leaders cultivate corporate spirituality while offer-ing a fresh perspective and generating synergies with other academic domains
Examining a theoretical model of eco-anxiety on consumers' intentions towards green products
Get PDFGiven the current levels of pollution and global warming concerns, consumers started
to be more and more involved with environmental issues, becoming more anxious
regarding the state of natural resource depletion. Thus, this research aims to examine
the concept of eco-anxiety among consumers who are aware of the repercussions of
the current environmental complexities, analysing how or to what extent it affects
them, bearing in mind that individuals may tend to escape from stressful environmental
issues. A conceptual model will be tested using data from consumers of two countries
representing very different regions and socioeconomic contexts: India and Italy.
An online self-administered questionnaire was distributed in India and Italy between
February and March 2022. Employing partial least squares structural equation modelling
(PLS-SEM), a sample of 557 individuals was collected (316 from India; 241 from
Italy). The study examined the measurement model to assess validity and reliability, as
well as the structural model to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that consumers
of India and Italy tend to avoid thinking about environmental crises trying to
normalise their plight. As observed, eco-anxiety positively influences emotional dissonance,
and escapism is positively related to this construct, but intentions to buy green
products are found to be insignificant. Practical implications were drawn for policymakers
and practitioners, indicating different orientations according to the region

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
