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
CSR Communication in the Digital Age - Investigating the Strategic Utilization of Social Media in the Social Enterprise Sector
No full textThis research aims to explore the value and utilization of social media strategies in corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication and their effectiveness among the social enterprise sector in the Netherlands. The concept of CSR has gained a lot of prominence within the business landscape in the past few years, posing numerous challenges for businesses to successfully communicate their social responsibility. Simultaneously, the emergence of the Internet, and more specifically of diverse social media platforms, has challenged the existing one-way communication approach of businesses in regard to CSR and has propelled the need for establishment of a dialogue with the stakeholders in businesses’ search for a stronger connection with the society. The notions of CSR and CSR communication have been predominantly examined in relation to the operations of large corporations such as General Electric or Timberland, as well as amongst medium and small businesses. However, scholars have not yet taken into account the vast expansion of the social enterprise sector as the new way of doing business, where CSR exists at its essence. Thus, it was of crucial importance for the further advancement of CSR and CSR communication literature to take on this approach and explore how social enterprises determine their social media strategy with respect to communicating CSR. In order to examine the current problem, this research relied on a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews conducted with experts in the fields of communications and operations within a set of social enterprises in the Netherlands. The main results of this research showed that social enterprises consider it crucial to communicate their identity to the stakeholders through showcasing their socially responsible efforts. It became evident that social enterprises primarily engage in an information strategy on social media focused on creating awareness when it comes to their CSR operations. This research also revealed the general attempts of the social enterprises to engage with their stakeholders through the establishment of a dialogue that is, however, still in its development stage. Due to lack of resources in the social enterprise sector, the effectiveness of the social media strategy in CSR communication, proved difficult to be established. Thus, this research closes with the hopes that future research will build on the current findings and take on a further in-depth exploration of the social enterprise sector in relation to CSR and CSR communication

The Balenciaga Controversy
No full textA consistent number of organizational crises occurred in recent decades, attracting major negative attention toward the incriminated companies. Due to the increased frequency of unexpected events impacting corporations, the field of crisis communication has become increasingly crucial to research. Crises generally produce negative outcomes, threatening a company’s reputation as well as stakeholders’ perceptions and expectations. In this study, the controversy of the luxury fashion house of Balenciaga related to child abuse and pedophilia accusations was investigated. Since previous studies tended to overlook stakeholders’ perceptions of negative events, there is a greater need in the field to investigate consumers’ perceptions of crisis. For this reason, the focus of this research is to analyze how the crisis may alter consumers’ satisfaction with Balenciaga, based on their perception of three factors, crisis responsibility, crisis involvement, and pre-crisis reputation, while considering the possible moderation effect of familiarity with the brand. This research is grounded on the Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) which also introduces two of the three factors object of the study. Furthermore, the research met the call for adding crisis involvement to SCCT dynamics and the possible moderation effect of individual-related brand familiarity. Finally, the effect is tested on consumer satisfaction which is a variable rarely investigated in a crisis context.
Using a quantitative methodology, an online survey was distributed to research whether the three proposed factors have an impact on consumer satisfaction. The survey was realized using the online platform Qualtrics and then the outcomes were analysed through the software SPSS statistics. The results confirmed the previous study’s findings about responsibility and prior reputation. Crisis responsibility, in particular, has a significant negative impact on the dependent variable, as does pre-crisis reputation, which is positively correlated with consumer satisfaction. Additionally, no significant impact was found between crisis involvement and consumer satisfaction. Although 62.2% of respondents declared to be familiar with the brand, the study’s results reject the moderating effect of brand familiarity on the correlations between all three independent variables and consumer satisfaction. More extended research should be conducted to further develop the field by investigating the interaction of new potential dependent and independent variables such as purchase intention and post-crisis reputation
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
Employees’ Perception of Diversity and Organization Identification.
No full textThe concept of diversity has moved from the field's periphery to its center, where it is now a focal point for both academic research and practical applications (Khatib et al., 2020; Muithya & Kilika, 2019; Buengeler et al., 2021; Roberson, 2019; Yang & Matz-Costa, 2017). For instance, it is anticipated that the population of racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States will increase from 112 million to 213 million over the next four decades. (Lichter, 2013). Companies have thus been compelled to reevaluate their objectives and reorganize their methods of operation in order to bring them in line with the workforce's ever-changing demographics.
The impact of employees' perceptions of the level of workplace diversity dimensions such as race, ethnicity, age, and gender on their organization identification has not received sufficient attention in workplace diversity research (Cole et al., 2016; Luijters et al., 2008). Both the effect of diversity management techniques on employee behavior and the effect of diversity perception on organizational identification have been studied previously (Tufan & Wendt, 2020; Cole et al., 2016; Allen, 1995; Mousa et al., 2020). Consequently, the purpose of this study is to address this significant gap in the literature. In addition, the aim of this study is to determine the extent to which cultural differences between the United States and France influence the nature of this relationship, as no previous research found has examined this topic.
From this, the following are the main research questions: 1: How does employees’ perception of diversity (race, ethnic, age, gender) in their organization affect their organization identification?2: To what extent are diversity (race, ethnic, age, gender) issues perceived differently by employees in the United States compared to employees in France?
The quantitative method was chosen because it provides the ability to collect a large amount of data from a diverse sample in a short amount of time (Hox & Boeije, 2005) and gives a structure for examining the relationship between variables and evaluating the strength and direction of interactions (Bryman & Bell, 2015).
A survey was created through Qualtrics and distributed. The survey sample consisted of French and American people residing and working in their respective countries. The survey sample consisted of 438 respondents who filled out the questionnaire.
The significant gender diversity findings of this study suggest that higher levels of gender diversity in an organization are associated with employee identification with their company. No other diversity dimension was significant, and neither was nationality as a moderator. The findings of the study emphasize the importance of gender diversity and the need to develop inclusive policies and supportive environments that embrace and celebrate diversity in all of its dimensions (Wang & Fang, 2020)
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
