TL;DR: This research presents a novel and scalable approach called “Smart grids” that combines smart cities, smart grids, and smart grids to solve the challenge of integrating smart grids and smart cities.

TL;DR: The authors identify flaws on both sides, invalid arguments in favor of using PLS path modeling and invalid arguments opposing its use, within the context of a unifying framework and a realist philosophy of science.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors scrutinize the intention-action gap among student entrepreneurs, attributing it to the contextual factors, i.e., individual (family entrepreneurial background, age, gender) and environmental characteristics (university environment, uncertainty avoidance), affecting the translation of entrepreneurial intentions into entrepreneurial actions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic literature review that gathers, analyzes, and synthesizes co-copetition research, and present a conceptual map that highlights five multilevel research areas: (1) the nature of the relationship, (2) governance and management, (3) the output of the relationships, (4) actor characteristics, and (5) environmental characteristics.

TL;DR: The authors found that the variety of external innovation channels (search breadth) used by a firm, the extent to which a firm draws deeply from them (search depth), and how a firm collaborates through different external channels (coupled OI) are curvilinearly related with innovation performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply positional advantage theory and the resource-based view, and focus on mitigating the potential selection bias by aggregating findings from 170 previous investigations in a comprehensive meta-analysis, to examine how discrete dimensions of SCI enhance firm financial performance through three types of intermediate firm performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize evidence of management control systems (MCS) that are employed by organizations to enforce sustainable development (SD) and suggest a roadmap for coherent research.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply signaling theory to examine the flow of signals between corporate headquarters (HQ) and the local subsidiary of a multinational and explore the implementation and outcomes of employer branding change programs, with the aim of achieving authenticity in employee voice by reducing information asymmetry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the importance of organization studies has been undermined by the tendency of researchers to focus on institutions and networks rather than on the particularities of organizations in social theory.

TL;DR: This work assesses the measurement invariance of the commonly used four-dimensional cultural intelligence scale across five countries by means of a composite model logic, using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of employee attribution formation of organizational CSR initiatives as substantive versus symbolic to differentiate the positive outcomes to organizations when causally evaluated as engaging in substantive CSR, from the null or possibly negative employee outcomes when these initiatives are attributed as symbolic.

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrative framework of absorptive capacity (AC) and inbound open innovation is developed for a firm to develop new ideas and turn them into profitable innovations on a sustained basis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model to examine the mediating role of organizational commitment in explaining and clarifying the mission-performance link is proposed, and the relationship between mission statements and organizational performance is better understood if the influence of commitment, as a mediating variable of the aforementioned relationship, is taken into account.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of a company's innovation culture in linking economic and social responsibilities with financial performance was examined through an empirical investigation of 133 companies, belonging to the Spanish Social Environmental Agreement, using structural equation modelling validated by factor analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the roles of high commitment HR and a social exchange model that places a positive employment relationship at the centre of the link between HRM and performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed and tested a contingency model of intrinsic motivation and job autonomy as moderators of knowledge sharing in knowledge-intensive firms, and found that the social climate for cooperation better predicts knowledge sharing when employees show low levels of intrinsic motivations and have high levels of job autonomy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the degree of Danish firm adherence to the Danish Code of Corporate Governance and analyzes if a higher degree of compliance or explain disclosure is related to firm performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of high performance work systems (HPWS) on employees' work-related well-being, such as emotional exhaustion, work engagement and consequently their job satisfaction.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between economic animosity towards a foreign nation and consumer ethnocentrism and their mutual effect on the perception of the general image of a country perceived as hostile, the evaluation of the products associated with that country (product beliefs) and the foreign product acceptance (product receptivity).

TL;DR: In this paper, a new typology connecting strategic human resource management (SHRM) to different models of firm-level corporate governance is developed, and the implications of different governance structures for SHRM and the challenges they pose.

TL;DR: The authors examines how employer branding is used and embedded through organizational HR practices; specifically recruitment, selection, and integration, and shows that the logic of employer branding in contexts where the brand is less significant, is essentially contradictory, requiring both individualism and uniformity which may have a greater impact on workplace identities than previously thought.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss alterations to the basic PLS path modeling algorithm to consider sampling weights in order to achieve better average population estimates in situations where researchers have a set of appropriate weights.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that combining a strong HR commitment configuration with a weak communal-sharing climate is associated with more employee proactivity, while the laissez-faire context, featuring a combination of a weak compliance HR configuration and a strong market-pricing relational climate, is better suited for fostering employee proactive behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a holistic view on the social and environmental consequences of a specific case of a base of the pyramid (BoP) business and show that water sold in plastic sachets in Africa is a typical BoP product with potentially negative ecological impact caused by littering.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of process methodology and partner management on knowledge management and the moderating role of organisational size in these previous relationships is analyzed. But the authors focus on the effect of the size of the organization on the key results of the business, both strategic and operational.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how employees' perceived external reputation is associated with their willingness to participate in service innovation implementation, and found that the link between perceived reputation and service innovation behavior is mediated by expected reputation gains and expected positive performance outcomes.
