Paternalistic Leadership: A Review and Agenda for Future Research

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a massive impact on and may fundamentally change the pathways and trajectories of sustainable energy development. This article examines the impact of COVID-19 on Asia’s sustainable energy development and proposes agendas for future energy research in response to the pandemic. The review and research agendas are oriented towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. The following three key questions need to be addressed by researchers: (1) In what ways does COVID-19 make sustainable energy development more important than ever? (2) What are the short- and long-term effects of COVID-19 on sustainable energy development? (3) How can responses to COVID-19 meet the objectives of sustainable energy development?

Lean Six Sigma in financial services industry: a systematic review and agenda for future research

Know Thy Enemy: A Review and Agenda for Research on Competitor Identification

This article sets forth a critical integrative review of the study of gender, sexuality, and religion. Treating religion as a cause, an effect, and an intermediary factor in relation to gender and sexuality, it draws on and synthesizes multiple theoretical approaches, including gender and queer lenses on religion, cultural analysis, and intersectionality. The article is structured around 10 big‐picture questions about gender, sexuality, and religion and argues that gender and sexuality are a key symbolic boundary and cultural divide in religious and political life in the United States and around the world. It concludes with an agenda for future research.

This chapter focuses on the development of person-organization (PO) fit during newcomers’ socialization, and their PO fit after this period. We present a review of socialization research that has examined newcomers’ PO fit before, during, and after socialization took place. We also discuss the nature of possible changes in PO fit during socialization and the causes of these changes—changes in the organization, the person, or both. We conclude this chapter with an agenda for future research, in which we propose four themes that need further examination: (a) the causes and consequences of poor PO fit, (b) changes over time in newcomers’ PO fit perceptions, (c) the sources of these perceptions, and (d) possible interaction effects of different forms of fit.

PurposeThis study reviews the literature on collaborative consumption (CC), depicting the main theoretical lineages of the CC approach while leveraging the findings to suggest promising paths for advancing the literature.Design/methodology/approachThis review is based on a bibliometric approach. The strict research protocol employed led to the inclusion of 249 articles in the descriptive and bibliometric analyses. The co-citation analysis led to the inclusion of 50 co-cited articles in the content analysis.FindingsThe descriptive analysis depicts the research profile on CC in terms of main features, yearly evolution of publications and citations, most influential articles and most influential journals. The systematization of the co-citation analysis led to the identification of three complementary theoretical lineages of research on CC: (1) theoretical roots of CC, (2) drivers of CC and (3) the sharing economy: consequences/outcomes. An integrative framework of research on CC schematizing the main theoretical lineages identified is proposed. Based on the critical gaps identified in the literature in CC, an agenda for future research is suggested.Originality/valueDespite the burgeoning interest in the CC approach, the literature has yet to fully grasp the CC concept's real implications. This study portrays a comprehensive review of the literature on CC; an integrative framework of the main theoretical lineages of research on CC is proposed, and an agenda for future research is suggested based on the critical gaps identified and implications for literature, policy and practice are stated.

The marketing–finance interface: A new integrative review of metrics, methods, and findings and an agenda for future research

Research on consumer financial vulnerability (CFV) was especially encouraged in the aftermath of the 2007–2008 financial crisis, becoming a phenomenon of global interest to academics and policy makers. This paper reviews the existing academic literature on CFV with the aim of mapping out four research fields (i.e., the concept, the measures, the methods, and the drivers of this phenomenon) and providing a roadmap for a future research agenda for this field. To this end, we review the last two decades of academic research on households’ financial vulnerability, thereby presenting a hybrid literature review. Evidence from a comprehensive analysis of 98 academic papers suggests that this is still an emerging and highly fragmented field and, therefore, a comprehensive future research agenda is offered, including concrete suggestions for research designs and measurements. The proposal of a homogeneous definition of financial vulnerability, the consideration of measures that include subjective aspects of the phenomenon, the use of qualitative methods, and the development of more detailed theoretical and empirical research on the drivers of CFV, are among the authors’ recommendations for future research.

Based on a review of the chapters in this book, this concluding chapter asks: what are the biggest future challenges for the ombudsman? And what will be the most significant challenges for future ombudsman research? The chapter argues that three major societal trends can be identified that will also have ongoing implications for the future position of the ombudsman: globalization; juridification; and contestation. It makes the argument that these developments should also have implications for future ombudsman research. Shifting our attention from 'ombudsman and society' to 'ombudsman in society,' the chapter discusses three major objectives for future ombudsman studies: more theory; more empirical research; and more comparative research. Finally, the claim is made that the biggest challenge for future research is to develop a general 'ombuds-science': a dedicated, interdisciplinary and integrated academic approach to analyse all aspects of the ombudsman.

RESISTIRÉ researches the unequal impacts of theCOVID-19 outbreak and its policy responses on behavioural, social and economic inequalities in 31 countries (EU-27 plus Iceland, UK, Serbia and Turkey) and works towards individual and societal resilience. It does so by mapping policies and social initiatives, collecting quantitative and qualitative data, and by analysing and translating these to insights that are then used for designing, devising and piloting solutions for improved policies and social innovations to be deployed by policymakers, stakeholders and actors in the field in different policy domains. The results of the project’s research activities conducted within its first cycle (May-July 2021), combined with expert discussions in Open Studios, have led to the development of Operational Recommendations, Pilot Projects and an Agenda for Future Research. This Agenda for Future Research consists of four domains(Care, Work & Pay, Human Rights and Health, Gender-based Violence) which contain an analysis of previous findings from the RESISTIRÉ project, as well as an identification of research gaps. It also outlines which research questions and topics future research should address, and what questions RESISTIRÉ will focus on in the second cycle.

Comunicación Para la imagen de destinos en crisis y desastres: revisión y futura agenda de investigaciónResumenPropósitoEste estudio proporciona una perspectiva general, los “research fronts”- los temas más actuales de una disciplina científica-, los temas emergentes y una agenda de investigación sobre comunicación de crisis de la imagen de los destinos turísticos.MetodologíaLa investigación está basada en un análisis bibliográfico coupling, complementado con una clasificación h-Classics y un análisis temático de todos los artículos examinados con esta metodología bibliométrica (artículos fechados entre 2017 y 2021, ambos años incluidos).ResultadosCon este análisis bibliométrico, se identifican cuatro clusters temáticos. Dos de ellos, presentan los “research fronts”, los temas más vigentes de un campo científico: el cluster 1 se refiere a la comunicación realizada para transmitir el concepto de seguridad a los turistas, y el cluster 2 destaca la relevancia de la colaboración de todos los agentes turísticos para crear resiliencia en los destinos en la comunicación de crisis. Los otros dos clusters recogen los temas emergentes de investigación futura: el cluster 3 se centra en las estrategias de marketing para la época de postcrisis y el cluster 4 analiza cómo la comunicación contribuye a reducir la percepción de riesgo de los turistas y, por tanto, a potenciar su intención de viaje. Por último, el artículo propone una agenda de investigación basada en estos temas emergentes.Originalidad/valorHasta donde tenemos conocimiento, éste es el primer estudio bibliométrico especialmente enfocado a la comunicación de crisis para la imagen de los destinos turísticos (con sus tres etapas, precrisis, crisis y poscrisis). Esta investigación, que analiza la literatura más reciente en este campo, proporciona conocimiento sobre la comunicación de las crisis y desastres más recientes, a través de sus “research fronts”. Asimismo, propone una agenda con nuevos temas que están surgiendo en esta disciplina, útil para futuras investigaciones académicas. Dichos temas, junto con los aprendizajes de incidentes pasados, pueden ser usados por las Organizaciones de Marketing de Destinos (DMO, en sus siglas en inglés) para incorporarlos en su comunicación de crisis destinada a la recuperación de la imagen de los destinos turísticos en el actual escenario post pandemia o en futuras crisis o desastres.

Decision letter for "Environmental, Social, and Governance in Family Firms: A Bibliometric Review and Agenda for Future Research"

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to lay the necessary conceptual and empirical groundwork that advances knowledge about paternalistic leadership (PL). PL is reinterpreted as a leadership style consisting of authoritative, moral and benevolent leadership. The mediating role of trust is examined, and a formal, unified construct model of PL is suggested through evidence of construct validity.Design/methodology/approachAn on-site survey was used to collect data from 312 full-time employees in nine organizations in China. Factor analysis, reliability and validity test, and an analysis of bivariate correlations were conducted.FindingsThe new construct of PL achieved a positive alignment and coherence among the three dimensions. Subordinates’ trust was found to be critical for paternalistic leaders to be perceived as effective leaders.Research limitations/implicationsLeadership and its effectiveness were examined only at the dyadic level. The levels of the supervisors and their effectiveness differ because some were from middle management, whereas others were from first line managers.Practical implicationsTrust is an important explanatory mechanism for the relationship between PL and employee performance, especially in China. It is a key factor that creates loyalty and builds a good relationship between leaders and subordinates.Social implicationsTrust signals a strong sense of sharing within the relationship. It induces positive emotional feelings in their leader by the subordinates and, therefore, taps into positive evaluations about the effectiveness of their leader.Originality/valueThis study developed the theoretical underpinnings and provided measurement instruments for PL. It offered a formal, unified construct model of PL.

Purpose The purpose of this two-part paper is to provide a summary of current research opportunities in organizational forgetting literature and a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach The summary of current research opportunities and future research agenda is drawn from the systematic literature review and synthesis reported in Part I. Findings Two broad areas for future research are proposed: A first area that highlights a need to address integrative theoretical challenges that include issues of temporality, history, power dynamics, and organizational context. A second area that highlights a need to reconcile contradicting explanations – such as whether technological sophistication and codification practices versus social networks prevent knowledge depreciation and loss – through a multilevel perspective. Research limitations/implications Limitations relate to time span coverage and journal article accessibility. Originality/value This Part II paper provides a summary of current research opportunities and offers directions for future research on organizational forgetting.
