Purpose Despite more than 50 years of research into gender and work, the impact of women occupying managerial positions persists to be under-represented in mainstream human resource management (HRM) literature. The purpose of this article is to identify and explore the perceptions of women who decided to choose their career path either in IT or HR positions to explore their motivation, career strategies and success factors.Design/methodology/approach Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with women occupying either IT or HR managerial positions. The study included two datasets: (1) women representing managerial positions in IT and (2) women representing managerial positions in HR.Findings Women holding HR managerial positions took action to achieve the intended position in their dream industry since their studies. On the contrary, the choice of the IT industry was one undertaken by candidates with no previous IT experience. Because the IT sector is dominated by men, women in these positions still had to prove their competences.Research limitations/implications The research showed that women cannot be ignored in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) industry, and they prove a valuable resource for managerial positions in IT or HR departments in many sectors.Originality/value The research underpinned a new boundaryless career model for both HR and IT positions.
目的尽管对性别和工作进行了50多年的研究,但女性担任管理职位的影响在主流人力资源管理文献中的代表性仍然不足。本文的目的是确定和探索那些决定选择IT或人力资源职位职业道路的女性的看法,以探索她们的动机、职业策略和成功因素。设计/方法/方法对担任信息技术或人力资源管理职位的妇女进行了20次半结构化访谈。该研究包括两个数据集:(1)代表IT管理职位的女性和(2)代表人力资源管理职位的妇女。研究结果自研究以来,担任人力资源管理职务的女性采取行动,在她们的梦想行业中实现预期职位。相反,信息技术行业的选择是由以前没有信息技术经验的候选人做出的。由于信息技术部门由男性主导,担任这些职位的女性仍然需要证明自己的能力。研究局限性/影响研究表明,女性在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)行业中不容忽视,她们被证明是许多部门IT或人力资源部门管理职位的宝贵资源。创意/价值这项研究为人力资源和IT职位提供了一种新的无边界职业模式。

PurposeThe study sought to fit managerial competencies in the metatraits of the Circumplex Personality Metatraits Model (CPM) by Strus, Cieciuch and Rowinski (2014). The authors assumed that managerial competencies would be located in the sector of personality metatraits, specifically, the plus poles: Integration (Gamma-Plus) through Stability (Alpha-Plus) and Self-restraint (Delta-Plus) to Plasticity (Beta-Plus).Design/methodology/approachA group of 327 managers took part in this study. Managerial competencies related to social skills, problem-solving, management and goal striving, openness to change and employee development were evaluated via the assessment center (AC).FindingsThe results revealed a negative relationship between all managerial competencies and negative metatraits of Disharmony (Gamma-Minus) and Passiveness (Beta-Minus). On the other hand, Integration (Gamma-Plus) and Plasticity (Beta-Plus) appeared to be positively related to two competencies only: openness to change and problem-solving.Originality/valueAll managerial competencies fitted well in the CPM pattern with adequate degrees of fit. The discussion indicates the role of managerial competencies and personality assessment in the selection process.
目的本研究试图将管理能力拟合到Strus, Cieciuch和Rowinski(2014)的Circumplex人格元特征模型(CPM)的元特征中。作者认为,管理能力将位于人格元特征的部门,特别是,正极:整合(Gamma-Plus)通过稳定性(Alpha-Plus)和自我约束(Delta-Plus)到可塑性(Beta-Plus)。设计/方法/方法327名经理参加了这项研究。通过评估中心(AC)评估与社会技能、解决问题能力、管理与目标努力、变革开放性和员工发展相关的管理能力。研究结果显示,所有管理能力与不和谐(Gamma-Minus)和被动(Beta-Minus)的负向元特征呈负相关。另一方面,整合(Gamma-Plus)和可塑性(Beta-Plus)似乎只与两种能力呈正相关:对变化的开放态度和解决问题的能力。原创性/价值所有的管理能力都很好地符合CPM模式,并有足够的契合度。讨论表明了管理能力和人格评估在选择过程中的作用。

PurposeCoopetition is ubiquitous in the economy, but managing effectively this type of relationship between firms remains a challenge for many organizations. This paper investigates the coopetition within corporate groups and focus on factors that determine the simultaneous competition and cooperation between subsidiaries therein.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on a dataset of 121 corporate groups listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE), this paper theoretically advances and empirically validates the impact of 18 factors which determine the coopetition relationship.FindingsThis study's findings confirm the importance of an organizational design among external and internal drivers of intrafirm coopetition. However, the role of an environmental uncertainty as a driver of intrafirm coopetition is not proven. Furthermore, the paper finds that internal determinants explain the phenomenon of coopetition between subsidiaries within a corporate group more than determinants related to the environment.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the coopetition theory by empirical identification of drivers of intrafirm coopetition and advances the corporate groups studies by exploring internal relationships (cooperation and competition) and the determinants therein.
目的合作在经济中无处不在,但有效管理企业之间的这种关系对许多组织来说仍然是一个挑战。本文研究了企业集团内部的合作竞争,并重点研究了决定企业集团内各子公司同时竞争与合作的因素。设计/方法论/方法利用华沙证券交易所(WSE)121家上市企业集团的数据集,从理论上提出并实证验证了决定合作竞争关系的18个因素的影响。研究结果这项研究的结果证实了组织设计在公司内部合作竞争的外部和内部驱动因素中的重要性。然而,环境不确定性作为企业内部合作竞争的驱动因素的作用尚未得到证实。此外,本文发现,内部决定因素比与环境相关的决定因素更能解释企业集团内子公司之间的合作竞争现象。创新性/价值本文通过对企业内部合作竞争驱动因素的实证识别,为合作竞争理论做出了贡献,并通过探索内部关系(合作和竞争)及其决定因素,推进了企业集团研究。

Is critical thinking a future skill for business success: science mapping and literature review 批判性思维是商业成功的未来技能吗:科学制图和文献综述
IF 0.9 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-05-17 DOI: 10.1108/cemj-09-2021-0110

PurposeThis article aims to review critical thinking (CT) as a future skill in business.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed two research methods: science mapping analysis based on bibliometric keyword co-occurrence data and systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines. The application of two distinctive research methods meant that we could obtain a broad picture thematic overview as well as a detailed, fine-grained insight into the content of CT business research.FindingsResearch in CT in business studies is dominated by themes related to education, university and learning that far outweigh CT business application, which focuses on three research axes. These are specific business functions (e.g. accounting, marketing, human resources and identifying business opportunities), certain skills used in business (e.g. decision-making and creativity) and other business-related topics (including ethics, stakeholder relations and individual employee performance).Practical implicationsThe article identifies new research gaps related to the link between CT and business performance, a firm’s ability to innovate and company characteristics. Moreover, the article highlights that CT positively influences business decision-making under the influence of cognitive biases and heuristics.Originality/valueThe article provides the first literature review on CT in business research. It uses a novel method of science mapping analysis to show unbiased algorithmic-based insight into the structure of the research, followed by a systematic literature review.
目的本文旨在回顾批判性思维(CT)作为一种未来的商业技能。设计/方法论/方法本研究采用了两种研究方法:基于文献计量学关键词共现数据的科学图谱分析和遵循PRISMA指南的系统文献综述。两种独特研究方法的应用意味着我们可以获得全面的主题概述,以及对CT商业研究内容的详细、精细的见解。发现CT在商业研究中的研究主要是与教育、大学和学习相关的主题,远远超过CT商业应用,它专注于三个研究轴。这些是具体的业务职能(如会计、营销、人力资源和识别商机)、业务中使用的某些技能(如决策和创造力)以及其他与业务相关的主题(包括道德、利益相关者关系和员工个人绩效)。实践含义本文指出了CT与企业绩效、企业创新能力和公司特征之间联系的新研究空白。此外,文章强调CT在认知偏见和启发式的影响下对商业决策产生了积极影响。原创性/价值本文提供了商业研究中CT的第一篇文献综述。它使用了一种新颖的科学映射分析方法,以显示对研究结构的无偏见的基于算法的见解,然后进行了系统的文献综述。

The right time for a big bath: asset impairment recognition in earnings management 恰当的洗浴时机:盈余管理中的资产减值确认

PurposeThe article investigates the patterns of asset impairment recognition in search of signs of “big bath” earnings management practices across an internationally diversified sample of public companies. It also elucidates the incentives that may underlie such practices and explores possible safeguards embedded in the existing corporate governance mechanisms.Design/methodology/approachThe article applied static panel and binary logit models to an international firm-level panel dataset of 1045 public companies observed between 2003 and 2018.FindingsOur empirical results suggest that recognition of asset impairment has no determinate impact on earnings volatility. Investigating the possibility of “big bath” earnings management practices, the authors found no impact of asset impairment recognition on total senior executive compensation in firms, which pay performance-based remuneration. The quality of corporate governance has appeared to impact the firms’ intertemporal proclivity to recognize asset impairment with those having the more entrenched and management-controlled boards being more likely to time impairment recognition by delaying it during exceptionally good and exceptionally bad years. While generally unlikely, recognition of asset impairment in a period with a recorded negative operating performance is found to be closely associated with key executive departures.Originality/valueThe article corroborates the salient role of corporate governance mechanisms in shaping the intertemporal patterns of asset impairment recognition. The possible remedies to the phenomenon should be derived therefrom.
目的本文调查了国际多元化上市公司的资产减值确认模式,以寻找“大浴池”盈余管理实践的迹象。它还阐明了这种做法背后可能存在的激励因素,并探讨了现有公司治理机制中可能存在的保障措施。设计/方法论/方法本文将静态面板和二元logit模型应用于2003年至2018年间观察到的1045家上市公司的国际公司级面板数据集。结果表明,资产减值的确认对收益波动性没有确定的影响。在调查“大浴池”盈余管理实践的可能性时,作者发现,在支付绩效薪酬的公司中,资产减值确认对高管薪酬总额没有影响。公司治理的质量似乎影响了公司确认资产减值的跨期倾向,而那些拥有更稳固和管理层控制的董事会的公司更有可能通过在异常好和异常坏的年份推迟减值确认来确定减值时间。虽然通常不太可能,但在经营业绩为负的时期确认资产减值与关键高管离职密切相关。原创性/价值本文证实了公司治理机制在形成资产减值确认跨期模式方面的突出作用。应对这一现象采取可能的补救措施。

PurposeThe article analyzes the challenges Slovak businesses and organizations are facing in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting human resource management solutions they apply.Design/methodology/approachThe authors present a part of their research conducted in six Central Eastern European (CEE) countries. Based on timely data, the article presents socioeconomic characteristics of Slovakia and the results of the research “HRM Challenges in Times of the Covid-19 Crisis” conducted among employers in Slovakia. The survey method encompassed 247 Slovakian organizations.FindingsThe year 2020 was an extraordinary one for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. According to the results of this research, Slovak organizations were not prepared for the Covid-19 crisis. Respondents who had a pandemic action plan at the time of the breakout were hardly found. Measures taken to preserve human health directly impacted the way how work is done and organized. This poses significant challenges for both employers and employees. In general, small organizations used cost and staff reduction tools. On the other hand, some of the respondents, mainly large organizations have been using future-oriented solutions, e.g. organizational development.Originality/valueIn this research the authors analyzed the experiences of a Central European country, namely Slovakia. However, the experiences gained and collected here can be useful in the international arena as well.
本文分析了斯洛伐克企业和组织在Covid-19大流行方面面临的挑战,以及由此产生的人力资源管理解决方案。设计/方法/方法作者介绍了他们在六个中东欧国家进行的部分研究。根据及时的数据,本文介绍了斯洛伐克的社会经济特征以及在斯洛伐克雇主中进行的“Covid-19危机时期人力资源管理挑战”研究的结果。调查方法包括247个斯洛伐克组织。对企业、政府和个人来说,2020年都是不平凡的一年。根据这项研究的结果,斯洛伐克的组织没有为Covid-19危机做好准备。在疫情爆发时制定大流行行动计划的应答者寥寥无几。为保护人类健康而采取的措施直接影响到工作的完成和组织方式。这给雇主和雇员都带来了巨大的挑战。一般来说,小型组织使用成本和人员减少工具。另一方面,一些受访者(主要是大型组织)一直在使用面向未来的解决方案,例如组织发展。在这项研究中,作者分析了中欧国家斯洛伐克的经验。然而,在这里获得和收集的经验在国际舞台上也可能是有用的。

Effect of consumer self-discrepancy on materialism and impulse buying: the role of subjective well-being 消费者自我差异对物质主义和冲动购买的影响:主观幸福感的作用
IF 0.9 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-04-25 DOI: 10.1108/cemj-12-2021-0154

PurposeThis study aims to explore how and why self-discrepancy affects materialism and impulsive buying and the extent to which subjective well-being mediates the relationship between self-discrepancy, materialism and impulsive buying.Design/methodology/approachThe authors have tested the hypothesis with a convenience sample (N = 434) from Lithuania. Descriptive analysis, principal components analysis (PCA), serial mediation hypothesis tested with model 81 from regression-based path analysis modeling tool PROCESS Macro for IBM® SPSS® Statistics 24.7 statistical software.FindingsThe serial and parallel mediation analysis results indicated that greater self-discrepancy was related to poorer life satisfaction, which was related to greater materialism centrality, which promoted greater impulsive buying. Also, the greater the self-discrepancy, caused more occurrence of negative affect, which relates to increased materialism happiness, which triggers impulsive buying. Self-discrepancy was negatively associated with the frequency of positive affect, which was positively related to materialism, which stimulates impulsive buying.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was dominated by younger respondents. The survey was conducted during the lockdown of the Covid-19 virus pandemic.Originality/valueThere is little empirical evidence to support the reasoning behind why self-discrepancy predicts a higher degree of materialism, which increases impulsive buying. This study suggests the mechanism of how subjective well-being affects relationships of self-discrepancy on materialism and impulsive buying.
目的本研究旨在探讨自我差异如何以及为什么影响物质主义和冲动购买,以及主观幸福感在多大程度上调节了自我差异、物质主义与冲动购买之间的关系。设计/方法/方法作者用立陶宛的方便样本(N=434)检验了这一假设。描述性分析、主成分分析(PCA)、系列中介假设,使用基于回归的路径分析建模工具PROCESS Macro的模型81对IBM®SPSS®Statistics 24.7统计软件进行测试。结果:串行和并行中介分析结果表明,自我差异越大,生活满意度越低,物质主义中心性越强,促进冲动购买。此外,自我差异越大,导致负面影响的发生越多,这与物质主义幸福感的增加有关,从而引发冲动购买。自我差异与积极情感的频率呈负相关,积极情感与刺激冲动购买的物质主义呈正相关。研究局限性/含义这项研究主要由年轻的受访者进行。这项调查是在新冠肺炎疫情封锁期间进行的。独创性/价值几乎没有实证证据支持自我差异预测更高程度的物质主义背后的推理,这会增加冲动购买。这项研究提出了主观幸福感如何影响物质主义和冲动购买的自我差异关系的机制。

The survey was conducted during the lockdown of the Covid-19 virus pandemic.Originality/valueThere is little empirical evidence to support the reasoning behind why self-discrepancy predicts a higher degree of materialism, which increases impulsive buying. This study suggests the mechanism of how subjective well-being affects relationships of self-discrepancy on materialism and impulsive buying.","PeriodicalId":40276,"journal":{"name":"Central European Management Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44301504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PurposeThe aim of the paper is to theoretically and empirically explore the issue of well-being (WB) of female administrative employees who work on managerial positions at higher education institutions (HEIs).Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on both literature studies and explorative empirical research conducted in Poland with the use of snowball sampling. It adopted a questionnaire authored by Parker and Hyett and covered 121 respondents.FindingsLiterature studies show that invisibility of work, low level of empowerment, increased stress, workload and expectations, reduced resources, high level of anxiety, fatigue and low level of vitality negatively impact the WB of HEIs’ administrative staff. The presented research provides insight into the internal structure of the administrative staff’s WB. Both the main construct (i.e. employees’ WB) and its subconstructs are on moderate level. Respondents’ age and tasks performed are correlated only with the subconstruct of WB in the form of intrusion of work into private life.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the research is not based on large sample, it provides both practical and theoretical implications.Originality/valueMost of studies discuss the issue of WB of scholars. The paper fills the research gap in terms of examining female administrative employees who work on managerial positions at HEIs.
目的本文旨在从理论和实证两个方面探讨高等教育机构担任管理职务的女性行政人员的幸福感问题。它采用了Parker和Hyett编写的一份调查问卷,涵盖了121名受访者。文献研究表明,工作的隐蔽性、低授权水平、压力、工作量和期望增加、资源减少、高焦虑、疲劳和低活力对高等学校行政人员的WB产生了负面影响。所提出的研究提供了对行政人员WB内部结构的深入了解。主体结构(即员工WB)及其子结构均处于中等水平。受访者的年龄和完成的任务仅与WB的子结构相关,表现为工作侵入私人生活。研究局限性/含义尽管该研究不是基于大样本,但它提供了实践和理论意义。原创性/价值大多数研究都讨论学者的WB问题。本文填补了对高等学校担任管理职务的女性行政人员进行调查的研究空白。

Reasons for ignoring versus paying attention to country of origin among consumers of durable goods brands 耐用品品牌消费者忽视与关注原产国的原因
IF 0.9 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-04-20 DOI: 10.1108/cemj-02-2022-0019

PurposeThe objective of the study is to identify both reasons for ignoring and for paying attention to the country of origin (COO) by consumers when choosing brands of durable goods.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper a qualitative approach was applied, i.e. 25 in-depth semistructured interviews with Polish consumers of durable goods purposively selected out of those who had previously participated in a quantitative survey conducted by the authors.FindingsAmong the reasons for paying attention to the COO when choosing brands of durable goods, cognitive (rational), affective (emotional) and normative factors have been identified, while among the reasons for ignoring the COO by consumers, the authors identified only cognitive (rational) and affective (emotional) factors.Research limitations/implicationsThe conclusions can be applied by brand managers, e.g. when making decisions whether and why to communicate COO dimensions.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the international marketing literature as it develops a deeper insight into consumer behavior with reference to the consumers’ reasons for paying attention to and ignoring the COO, with very little published on the latter in particular. Furthermore, it is one of still relatively few qualitative studies conducted so far on COO taking a perspective of a consumer, especially the one from an emerging market from the European Union (EU).
目的本研究的目的是找出消费者在选择耐用品品牌时忽视和关注原产国的原因。设计/方法论/方法在本文中,采用了定性方法,即对波兰耐用品消费者进行25次深入的半结构访谈,这些访谈是有目的地从作者之前参与过定量调查的人中挑选出来的。发现在选择耐用品品牌时关注COO的原因中,已经确定了认知(理性)、情感(情感)和规范因素,而在消费者忽视COO的因素中,作者只确定了认知的(理性)和情感的(情感)因素。研究局限性/含义品牌经理可以应用这些结论,例如在决定是否以及为什么要传达COO维度时。原创性/价值本文对国际营销文献做出了贡献,因为它参考了消费者关注和忽视首席运营官的原因,对消费者行为进行了更深入的了解,尤其是对后者的报道很少。此外,这是迄今为止对首席运营官从消费者的角度进行的相对较少的定性研究之一,尤其是来自欧盟新兴市场的消费者。

PurposeSelf-employment is considered one of the responses to precarious employment, particularly among those who lost jobs during an economic crisis. Although starting a new business is widely available, operating new ventures remains challenging. This article aims to explore the premises of self-employment success, namely self-employment intention and proactive coping as crucial predictors of further performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors recruited participants among initially unemployed individuals who participated in the entrepreneurial program aimed at creating self-employment. Since entrepreneurs are expected to have specific personal characteristics important for performance, the authors assessed proactive coping as the key factor for self-employment intention.FindingsThe results depicted proactive coping as crucial in performing own ventures in the long run, which suggests that self-employment intention may change over time.Practical implicationsProactive coping is particularly appropriate for self-employed at any stage of the entrepreneurial process because it maintains the intention to perform own business. Thus, the findings underline the need for proactive coping training for entrepreneurs, particularly those previously unemployed.Originality/valueAs the self-employment intention may differ in time, the importance of being proactive in operating small businesses increases.
目的自营职业被认为是对不稳定就业的回应之一,尤其是在那些在经济危机中失去工作的人中。尽管开办新企业的可能性很大,但经营新企业仍然具有挑战性。本文旨在探讨自营职业成功的前提,即自营职业意向和积极应对是进一步表现的关键预测因素。设计/方法论/方法作者在最初失业的个人中招募参与者,这些人参加了旨在创造自营职业的创业计划。由于企业家被期望具有对业绩重要的特定个人特征,作者将积极应对评估为自主创业意向的关键因素。研究结果表明,从长远来看,积极应对对自主创业至关重要,这表明自营职业意向可能会随着时间的推移而改变。实际含义主动应对在创业过程的任何阶段都特别适合自营职业者,因为它保持了经营自己企业的意图。因此,研究结果强调了对企业家,特别是以前失业的企业家进行积极应对培训的必要性。独创性/价值随着个体经营意愿的不同,积极经营小企业的重要性也会增加。
