The impact of daily flow on employees’ daily innovative behavior: disentangling the within-level mediation effect of job involvement and the cross-level moderation effect of person-organization fit
No full textEmployees' innovative behavior is a crucial catalyst for public organizations' survival, development, and growth in service quality and problem-solving capabilities. Drawing on the broaden-and-build theory and self-determination theory, we proposed a conceptual model to delineate the dynamic within-person impact of the universal human experience flow on innovative behavior. We tried to disentangle the underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions by taking into consideration both job involvement and person-organization fit. We followed 106 public organizational employees' self-reports on daily flow, job involvement, and innovative behavior at work for two consecutive weeks. Data analyzed via multi-level structural equation modeling revealed that daily flow exerts a positive impact on innovative behavior through job involvement at the within-person level. Such impact is moderated by person-organization fit at the between-person level, indicating a more substantial indirect effect of flow on innovative behavior via job involvement for employees with higher (versus lower) person-organization fit. Taken together, our findings elucidate how and when flow predicts innovative behavior on a daily basis, providing empirical evidence for the role of daily flow at work in facilitating employees' daily innovative behavior. Theoretical and managerial implications for nurturing employees' innovative behavior in public organizations are put forward
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
The Antecedents of Risk Perception of Natural Hazards: A Meta-Analysis
No full textTo ensure better preparedness and response to natural hazards, involving people is
crucial. Among the determinants of individuals’ actions to protect themselves, both before
and after a natural hazard, is risk perception (van Valkengoed & Steg, 2019). A
conspicuous number of studies investigated the antecedents of risk perception;
nevertheless, there are no quantitative summaries (i.e., meta-analysis) of the available
research. The aim of this contribution is twofold, namely, to estimate effect sizes of
different potential antecedents of risk perception and to investigate the effect of possible
moderators of such relationships. A query string was used on Scopus, Web of Science,
and PsycINFO, and a final number of 121 records (127 studies) was included based on
the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)
guidelines. Results of the first aim showed that, among thirty-two predictors identified,
nineteen reported significant effect sizes. They can be organized into three clusters
(Bonaiuto & Ariccio, 2020): 1) factors related to the relationship individual-risk, 2) factors
related to the relationship individual-community, and 3) individual factors (i.e.,
sociodemographic and dispositional factors). The first cluster showed the highest number
of variables with strong effects. Overall, an effect of publication bias and study
heterogeneity was observed. Regarding moderators, the type of natural hazard
considered and the level of risk area of the sample proved to be relevant in some cases.
Existing research is scanty regarding some natural hazards (e.g., landslides, drought);
thus, future studies may consider studying risk perception antecedents in relation to these
understudied natural hazards. Policymakers should consider the three clusters of
antecedents. This represents a novel attempt to quantitatively summarize the available
literature on the topic of the determinants of risk perception, considering interdisciplinary
studies, including grey literature, and with no limits in terms of publication date
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
