Numerous multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) frameworks have been developed to engage stakeholders like citizens on a large scale and to capture their diverse preferences. Real-World Application in Construction Logistics: ...

Strategic Human Resource Management research generally focuses on a set of HR practices, thereby concealing single HR practices’ potential impact. This study examines whether – and, if so – how job design, an important HR practice, relates to organisational performance and whether a mutual gains, mutual loss or conflicting outcomes perspective holds. A multilevel moderation and mediation path analysis – underpinned by Job-Demands-Resources ...

Archaeological research in the Low Countries regularly uncovers medieval herring casks. They usually show a wide range of marks and symbols. Herring casks are the bearers of a sign system that had relationships with other forms of writing that played a role in the management of a growing fishing industry and the food supply of the urbanized population. The signs on the casks are prominent witnesses to the important fourteenth- and ...

Previous research suggests that emotional intelligence (EI) may benefit managers when resolving conflicts. However, past studies relied on self-reports of EI and conflict management styles, and a theoretical model explaining the mechanisms of the link between EI and conflict management outcomes for managers is still missing. This study aims to test a theoretical model proposing that during conflicts, managers with higher performance-based ...

Stillbirth rates in Afghanistan remained high in 2021 at over 26 per 1000 births. Stillbirths have devastating physical, psycho-social and economic impacts on women, families and healthcare providers. Data on the risks and causes of stillbirths are critical to target prevention measures and are ...

Over the past two decades, the expansion of Peru's agro-export sector has driven agricultural frontiers into the Lambayeque region, leading to the criminalization of local peasant communities that advocate for nature conservation. In this paper, we examine the Chaparri Nature Reserve, the first private protected area created by a peasant community in Peru. We develop the concept of "eco-territorial governance innovations" to analyze how ...

This study sets out to understand how journalism is represented in the Danish fiction series Borgen and the Spanish series El Caso: Crónica de Sucesos. The aim is to provide an understanding of how journalism is conceptualized in non-American fiction. Through textual analysis, we found out that Borgen (years 2010 and up) represents a generational and evolutionary conflict in which journalistic values are restrained by political and commercial ...

The Concussion in Sport Group guidelines have successfully brought the attention of brain injuries to the global medical and sport research communities, and has significantly impacted brain injury-related practices and rules of international sport. Despite being the global repository of state-of-the-art science, diagnostic tools and guides to clinical practice, the ensuing consensus statements remain the object of ethical and sociocultural ...

Managers in firms often hesitate to pursue innovations in management accounting because these innovations have direct cost implications (extra tax, implementation costs, etc.), but generate uncertain long-term benefits. To encourage decision-makers to pursue these innovations, shielding their long-term compensation from these cost considerations might motivate more investments. In an experiment we test this presumption in a setting where finance ...
