The first months in a new organization are a sensitive phase for newcomers as their attitudes are not yet settled. However, public management research has paid limited attention to onboarding tactics that support newcomer integration. This study explores “microinterventions”—brief reflective tasks on the social impact of one’s work—as a novel onboarding tactic. In an eight-week diary study, 31 public management students (Level 2) in placements (194 weekly observations, Level 1) were randomly assigned to a reflection-task or control group. Multilevel analyses showed no significant main effect of reflection tasks on socialization, positive affect, negative affect, or career commitment and no significant interaction effect of reflection task and time. Descriptive means suggested a higher treatment-group level at the first wave, but this early difference did not persist. Findings indicate limited efficacy of reflection-based microinterventions for newcomer integration in this real-world public sector context, though the tactic appears low-risk. We discuss implications for public sector onboarding.

Amid growing resource pressures, environmental regulation plays a critical role in enabling the transition to a circular economy (CE). This study conducts a systematic literature review to synthesize how different regulatory approaches—command‐and‐control, market‐based, voluntary, and reflexive—affect CE transitions across economic and institutional contexts. The findings highlight the dual role of regulation: as a driver of innovation, efficiency, and public participation, but also as a barrier when it is rigid, fragmented, or weakly enforced. The review further examines the conditional relationship between regulation and economic growth, emphasizing that outcomes depend on sectoral dynamics, technological maturity, and governance effectiveness. By advancing an integrative “regulatory continuum” perspective, the study clarifies underlying mechanisms, identifies cross‐national and sectoral heterogeneity, and outlines implications for policy design and enforcement. Although limited by its reliance on secondary literature, the review underscores the need for empirical and comparative research to refine regulations that align environmental protection with sustainable economic transformation.

The construction of bandals (bamboo walls) is a widely practised climate adaptation initiative in Bangladesh, embodying community agency. This article interrogates how it can also represent locally-led maladaptation—adaptive efforts that inadvertently sustain or exacerbate the very risks they seek to address. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in a riparian community, this photo essay examines our initial misinterpretation of a bandal project as successful locally-led adaptation, and our subsequent reinterpretation of it as a configuration of three interrelated forms of responsibility: ‘self-responsibility’, wherein at-risk communities act under constraint; ‘passive responsibility’, manifested through fragmented expert and institutional knowledge; and ‘reactive responsibility’, embedded in public resource distribution patterns reflecting a logic of impact-triggered humanitarian aid that constrains adaptive potential. We argue that, in the absence of active and proactive responsibilities assumed by a range of local actors, self-responsibility is coerced, responsibilising at-risk people and producing maladaptation. Locally-led adaptation, therefore, ought to move beyond a solely community-based framing towards a collectively accountable process.

Research Summary We examine how entrepreneur‐expressed humility affects early stage investors' willingness to fund new ventures. In pitching contexts where investors rely on relational cues and implicit prototypes of entrepreneurs, we theorize three distinct pathways through which expressed humility shapes funding decisions. First, building on research regarding interpersonal signals in early stage valuation, we propose that humility fosters perceptions of interpersonal affect and trust and team‐building qualities, increasing investors' willingness to fund. Second, drawing on implicit leadership theories, we argue that humility may trigger negative perceptions regarding the entrepreneur's ability to make rapid and risky decisions. Across a videometric analysis of 140 real‐world pitches and a randomized experiment with French early stage investors, we show that expressed humility elicits both pathways, but investors prioritize positive attributions. Managerial Summary Although humility is often regarded as a positive leadership trait, it contradicts implicit prototypes of successful entrepreneurs, who are typically seen as dominant and assertive. We examine how early stage investors perceive and respond to displays of humility during pitches. We propose that entrepreneur‐expressed humility produces ambiguous effects: It enhances perceptions of interpersonal affect and trust and team‐building qualities, but raises doubts about the entrepreneur's ability to make rapid and risky decisions. Using a videometric analysis of 140 pitches from the French version of Shark Tank and a randomized experiment with venture capital investors, we find evidence for these competing pathways. Overall, investors prioritize the positive attributions of interpersonal skills, suggesting that entrepreneurs benefit from expressing humility when pitching.

<p>In late 2024, arXiv decisively revised its moderation policy for computer science submissions. Review papers, once a routine part of the repository's content, became subject to stricter screening following a noticeable surge of low-quality, AI-generated manuscripts (Castelvecchi <span>2025</span>). The rationale was not framed as a rejection of genAI per se, but as a response to a growing infrastructural problem: certain categories of submissions were no longer serving their intended signalling function within the platform.</p><p>Importantly, arXiv did not ban review articles outright, nor did it question their intellectual legitimacy. Instead, it drew a boundary around formats that increasingly resembled generic summaries: textually plausible, syntactically correct, but lacking interpretive depth. In practice, such submissions strained moderation capacity and weakened trust in the repository as a filter for meaningful scientific communication.</p><p>This intervention reflects a broader transformation driven by genAI. Large language models (LLMs) can now produce convincing literature overviews at scale, rapidly and at minimal cost. At the same time, tools supporting ranking, filtering and synthesising research outputs, such as multi-criteria review pipelines and semiautomated workflows, are becoming increasingly sophisticated (Wagner et al. <span>2022</span>; Leite Junior et al. <span>2025</span>). In parallel, the tempo of scholarly communication is accelerating. Early-access articles are read, cited and circulated before formal publication, reshaping how visibility and priority are established, particularly in AI-related fields (Xu et al. <span>2025</span>).</p><p>These shifts place review articles in a uniquely exposed position. Historically, reviews have combined synthesis with interpretation, helping research communities stabilise concepts, identify gaps and set agendas. Recent empirical studies confirm that the most valued review articles are not exhaustive summaries, but reflexive contributions that position a field and articulate future directions (Krlev et al. <span>2025</span>; Block et al. <span>2025</span>).

在2024年末，arXiv果断地修改了其计算机科学提交的审核政策。评论论文曾经是知识库内容的常规组成部分，但在人工智能生成的低质量手稿明显激增之后，它们受到了更严格的筛选（Castelvecchi 2025）。其理由不是拒绝genAI本身，而是对日益严重的基础设施问题的回应：某些类别的提交内容不再在平台内发挥其预期的信号功能。重要的是，arXiv没有直接禁止评论文章，也没有质疑它们的知识合法性。相反，它为越来越像通用摘要的格式划定了界限：文本合理，语法正确，但缺乏解释深度。实际上，这样的提交使审核能力紧张，并削弱了对知识库作为有意义的科学交流过滤器的信任。这种干预反映了基因人工智能推动的更广泛的变革。大型语言模型（llm）现在可以大规模地、快速地、以最小的成本生成令人信服的文献概述。与此同时，支持排序、过滤和综合研究成果的工具，如多标准审查管道和半自动化工作流程，正变得越来越复杂（Wagner et al. 2022; Leite Junior et al. 2025）。与此同时，学术交流的节奏也在加快。早期获取文章在正式发表之前被阅读、引用和传播，重塑了能见度和优先级的建立方式，特别是在人工智能相关领域（Xu et al. 2025）。这些变化将评论文章置于一个独特的暴露位置。从历史上看，综述将综合与解释结合起来，帮助科研团体稳定概念、确定差距和制定议程。最近的实证研究证实，最有价值的综述文章不是详尽的总结，而是定位一个领域并阐明未来方向的反思性贡献（Krlev et al. 2025; Block et al. 2025）。然而，它恰恰是描述性的、模板驱动的审查格式，最容易被genAI模仿，因此最有可能在规模上扩散。这种不对称对基础设施的影响已经显而易见。除了arXiv的限制性回应，其他平台也在尝试相反的策略。2025年，《科学》杂志报道了一个预印本服务器的推出，该服务器明确欢迎人工智能撰写和评审的论文，依靠自动评估而不是基于社区的判断（Zhao 2025）。这些发展并不表明混乱，而是分歧：在人工智能介导的环境中，不同的基础设施正在测试关于作者身份、审查和质量控制的不同假设。从这个角度来看，arXiv的政策变化最好不要被理解为对评论文章的裁决，而是作为一个基础设施的信号。它反映了一种日益增长的认识，即评审不仅仅是内容单元，而是知识基础结构的组成部分。当它们的信号功能减弱时，因为描述性格式可以大量生产，平台必须进行干预。正如Ngwenyama和Rowe（2024）所认为的那样，与人工智能的合作重塑了认知价值，使综合和判断之间的区别扁平化，除非这些区别受到制度设计的积极保护。本文以arXiv的决定为起点，研究genAI揭示了今天的评论文章。我们认为genAI并没有使评论过时。相反，它公开了哪些审查格式继续执行基础结构工作，哪些不再执行。评论文章不会因为失去了知识价值而变得脆弱。它们之所以变得脆弱，是因为它们运作的条件比它们的形式变化得更快。这里汇集了三大发展：规模化、标准化和自动化。首先，学术产出的规模已经超出了传统评审实践所能处理的范围。几十年来，科学出版在数量和学科广度上不断扩大（Mack 2015; Jinha 2010）。回顾在历史上作为对信息过载的回应而出现，帮助研究人员浏览日益复杂的文献（Abt 2018; Ghasemi et al. 2022）。然而，今天，出版物、预印本和早期获取文章的增长已经将文学从有限的语料库转变为连续的流。在人工智能等快速发展的领域，早期获取文章在期刊定稿之前就被阅读、引用和传播，重塑了优先级和相关性的建立方式（Xu et al. 2025）。相比之下，审查在结构上仍然缓慢。即使在方法论上很严谨的情况下，它们也往往是在关键辩论已经发生变化之后才出现的。第二，审查格式日益标准化。 在过去的二十年中，系统和结构化的审查方法保证了透明度、可重复性和方法控制，特别是在健康科学和应用研究中（Altman 2001; White and Schmidt 2005; Pati and Lorusso 2017; Riley et al. 2019）。有影响力的指南和类型学进一步将评论写作编纂为可识别的模板和程序步骤（Lame 2019; Snyder 2019; Paul and Criado 2020; Palmatier et al. 2018）。虽然这些发展提高了一致性，但它们也缩小了解释的差异。现在的实证分析表明，许多评论主要是“盘点”，而不是重新定位一个领域或阐明新的方向（Krlev et al. 2025; Block et al. 2025）。一旦审查被简化为筛选、排序和总结步骤，其信息结构就会密切反映自动化系统所要执行的任务。第三，基因人工智能正是利用了这种融合。早在大型语言模型兴起之前，文献筛选和合成的自动化就已经讨论了多年（Seringhaus and Gerstein 2007; van Dinter et al. 2021）。最近的进展极大地加速了这些过程。现代工具现在可以筛选大型语料库，使用多种标准对论文进行排名，并在最少的人为干预下生成流畅的叙述摘要（Wagner等人，2022；de la Torre-López等人，2023；Leite Junior等人，2025）。比较研究表明，人工智能生成的评论可以显得连贯和全面，同时在解释、语境化和概念深度方面挣扎（Jenko et al. 2024; Mostafapour et al. 2024）。最近的商业和管理研究类似地将人工智能不是作为学术判断的替代品，而是作为重新设计审查工作流程的催化剂，对编辑角色和审查格式有影响（Tomczyk et al. 2024）。从基础结构的角度来看，问题不在于这些工具的存在，而在于它们模糊了作为判断的评审和作为聚合的评审之间的界限。当描述性评论变得便宜且丰富时，它们的信号价值就会减弱。对数字弹性的研究强调了这种情况如何造成系统脆弱性：当合成内容的扩散速度超过机构调整过滤器的速度时，信任就会受到侵蚀，信号也会失去意义（Große和Sundberg， 2025）。最近人工智能辅助审查的综合明确地将这种紧张关系描述为效率和认知深度之间的权衡，并指出自动化在检索和总结方面表现出色，但在上下文解释和理论构建方面仍然薄弱（Bolaños et al. 2024）。重要的是，并非所有评论都受到同样的影响。长期以来，引文研究表明，综述文章的影响力和功能差异很大（Aksnes 2003; Miranda and Garcia-Carpintero 2018）。最近的实证研究证实，那些解释、理论化和设定议程的反思性评论，具有很高的价值和可见性（Krlev et al. 2025; Block et al. 2025）。被掏空的是主要功能是总结的描述性格式和现状格式。换句话说，脆弱性是不平衡的。评论文章已经成为一个压力点，因为它们处于规模、自动化和信任的交叉点。长期以来，评论文章在学术交流中起着基础性的作用。从科学期刊的早期历史到当代出版系统，评论有助于组织扩展的知识体系，稳定术语和定向研究社区（Ghasemi et al. 2022; Hosur et al. 2025;

This study examines the impact of corporate governance structures and sustainability incentives on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance in e‐commerce companies and further analyzes the moderating role of board gender diversity in this relationship. Panel data from 193 US firms listed on NASDAQ and NYSE during the period 2019–2024 are employed, with fixed‐effect estimations supported by two‐step System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM) to ensure robustness. The findings reveal that board gender diversity and independent directors significantly enhance ESG performance, whereas CEO–chairman duality undermines it, consistent with agency theory. Board size shows no significant effects, while the annual frequency of board meetings has a significant negative impact on ESG performance, underscoring the importance of governance quality over quantity. Moreover, the presence of CSR committees is found to contribute positively to ESG performance, particularly in the environmental, social, and governance dimensions. Conversely, sustainability‐linked compensation incentives are found to significantly contribute to ESG performance; however, these impacts are not evident in the environmental, social, and governance dimensions. Lastly, we found that the joint effect of board gender diversification and sustainability‐linked compensation incentives decreases the ESG performance; however, this effect also vanishes with robustness analysis. Overall, the results highlight critical governance mechanisms that can strengthen ESG outcomes in e‐commerce companies, providing valuable implications for enhancing corporate sustainability in this rapidly evolving sector.
