Abstract Little research has investigated the relationship between FoMO (fear of missing out) and financial behavior and underlying this association remains largely unknown. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between envy and FoMO, investment involvement, investment engagement, and satisfaction. Proposed conceptual model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) among 1,741 individual investors. Research data were collected by convenience sampling method from individuals who are over 18 years of age and reported financial saving or individual investment. The inclusion criteria for participation included individuals over 18 years of age who reported financial saving or individual investment. Participants completed an online survey containing measurements regarding envy, FoMO, investment involvement, investment engagement, and satisfaction. The results indicated that there are significant and positive relationship between all of the constructs. This study highlights the underlying mechanism between FoMO and individual investment behavior, which has important theoretical and practical implications for understanding decision-making and behavior in the financial area.

Abstract In alliance studies, opportunism is generally considered a critical obstacle to interfirm cooperation, as it hampers interfirm confidence, impedes alliance evolution, and increases the probability of alliance failure. This study extends the prior opportunism studies by hypothesizing that actor opportunism in Chinese business will be largely affected by two sets of interfirm relationships: partners’ asymmetric dependence and guanxi governance. Data from 109 alliances undertaken by Taiwanese information and electronic firms supported the research hypotheses.

Abstract The influence of job satisfaction components (pay, work settings, career growth, flexibility, and supervision) varies. Previous studies have shown job satisfaction is positively correlated with work settings, total compensation, and growth opportunities. There is, however, little evidence of job satisfaction in remote working after COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyze the job satisfaction in remote working settings (workspace flexibility) among Saudi employees after the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic to determine ways to restructure human resource management practices post COVID-19. An online survey (n = 1113) to assess job satisfaction, taking flexibility into account, was conducted among Saudi employees, and the impact of flexibility and remote working policy in various sectors was measured using a Likert scale. The empirical findings demonstrate that periods of remote work are highly valued by employees, predominantly owing to their desire to fulfill personal duties and decrease stress. Interestingly, flexibility scored low among other job satisfaction components owing to two hypothesized reasons. Employees normally receive supervisor approval to combine working from home and the office; hence, they already receive this benefit. The findings of this study provide guidelines for practitioners and HR managers. Human resource management needs to adapt to changing circumstances and challenges, which requires long-term development, adaptation, and updating of human resource policies. This study contributes to literature on human resources by illustrating how managing organizational change can be improved by applying employee flexibility, which was made more pervasive by the worldwide pandemic.

Abstract This paper studies determinants of international mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in Poland using the predictions of the knowledge capital model of multinational enterprise. The empirical implementation of the theory is based on the negative binomial model and the bilateral dataset covering 143 countries over the period 1995–2015. Our estimation results indicate that M&As in Poland are explained by both differences in relative factor endowments and in market size which confirms the importance of both market seeking and efficiency seeking motives. Moreover, the efficiency seeking motive is losing its importance over time while the market seeking motive becomes more important.

Abstract It is frequently argued that Talent Management (TM) has been derived from Western, and there are gaps between spread westernized TM format and contexts of non-western countries when TM is adopted and practiced in a business daily basis. The cultural and institutional gaps to adopt TM are analyzed in this paper through comparing the differences in TM practices between foreign owned subsidiaries and local firms in South Korea using an institutional theory lens. A mixed method approach including 55 semi-structured interviews from South Korean and non-South Korean employees and 155 survey responses is employed. This paper results revealed the clear distinctions that indigenous firms practice inclusive and implicit TM, whereas foreign firms practice global standard exclusive TM program South Korean firms are developing very specific approaches within their traditional cultures such as collectivism and Confucianism to manage talent, and also local employees evaluate this tailored TM approach is effective like other foreign MNCs’ exclusive TM approach. Firms experience and respond to the external exigencies in very different ways and tendencies for isomorphism cannot be assumed.

Abstract This paper explores the impact of sovereign credit rating news from three credit rating agencies, namely Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poors, on credit default swaps (CDS). We use an event study methodology to analyze how CDS spread reacts to sovereign CR (Credit Rating) rating news in 31 countries between 2005 and 2018. The effects of rating news on CDS spread are conditional on the prior status of the rating watch or outlook. The results show that CDS spreads respond significantly more toward negative rating news. We find that sovereign rating announcements have different effects in developed and emerging markets.

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of CMO dismissal on the firm’s financial performance. Regression analysis was used to test the theoretical model based on a data set of 99 CMOs leaving their firms. Drawing upon market signal and contingency theories, the study finds evidence for the positive effect of involuntary CMO departure on the firm’s net market value and finds a firm’s profitability moderates this effect such that the impact of CMO dismissal is larger for less profitable firms.

Abstract Counterfactual estimates of excess deaths in Russian regions in 2020 are compared with actual deaths to measure the initial COVID impact. COVID is a real threat to high labor productivity regions and those with relatively bigger defense sectors. Corruption is surprisingly found to lower excess deaths. Legacy Soviet human capital and early Putin era democracy don’t appear to impact excess deaths. Urban males are most threatened with an even greater negative impact on the economy as COVID moves into working age brackets in the medium term. Living in rural areas and/or in regions far from Moscow was relatively safer in 2020.

Abstract Telecommuting can be a necessary and excellent means of maintaining work activity in emergencies such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, when a physical workplace is unfeasible. However, it may exacerbate work–family interfaces, burden daily personal life, and negatively affect employees’ mental health. This study explored how telecommuting relates to work–family conflict during the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing the data of 836 managers and employees from three major service sectors: tourism, public services, and retail. Relationships among variables were evaluated using linear regression. Based on the results, telecommuting violates the boundaries of work and family life.

Abstract To resolve and mitigate the ecological crisis, proactive approaches from businesses across all sectors and sizes are an imperative, with governments encouraging and pressuring them to move toward environmental sustainability. However, not all enterprises are ready to adopt EMPs, and those that do, differ substantially in the extent of their implementation. Based on the data from 984 Russian SMEs, the paper investigates how firm-specific characteristics impact the comprehensiveness of environmental management practices in Russian SMEs and confirms that a firm size, foreign ownership, and innovativeness all positively and significantly influence the extent of SMEs’ engagement in environmental practices.
