Purpose

The drive for digitalisation has increased the scope of cyber threats which can exploit the growing footprint of information and communication technology infrastructure supporting modern societies. Despite substantial interest and efforts in researching and building organisational cyber resilience, the resulting body of work is heterogeneous and has yet to reach maturity. This paper aims to address the gap in the conceptualisation of cyber resilience in academic and practice-oriented grey literature.

Design/methodology/approach

In this conceptual paper, we firstly seek to explore the available foundations of resilience as a construct and consider how these can be applied to organisational cybersecurity. To that aim, this study employs a targeted literature review approach, incorporating systematic elements to ensure rigour. Literature was identified through comprehensive searches in key academic databases, reference chaining and expert recommendations. Articles were selected based on relevance and contribution to the field, resulting in a thematic analysis to identify gaps and propose a heuristic model for cyber resilience. With this approach, we aim to position the emerging view of cyber resilience relative to risk analysis, while highlighting its domain of “conceptual comparative advantage” – the types of applications it is best suited to address. Finally, a high-level heuristic model for cyber resilience is proposed, which functions across the relevant policy, strategy and operational dimensions while also considering its relationship with cyber risk management.

Findings

A conceptual model for organisational cyber resilience is proposed which helps position and frame research contributions in this domain relative to risk analysis, highlighting its domain of comparative advantage. The model integrates policy, strategy and operational dimensions, in a manner conducive to bridging foundations and applications of the concept of cyber risk management. The proposed model provides a critical point of reference to evaluate individual models, frameworks and tools.

Originality/value

This paper is a pioneering effort to overcome the current gaps between conceptual and practical views of cyber resilience. It proposes a new, risk-aligned view of the concept of cyber resilience and provides a structural foundation for further research and practice in the field.

Purpose

The prevailing conceptualization of information system (IS) capabilities, rooted in the resource-based view (RBV) framework, tends to focus on unique firm resources. In the digital age, as emphasized by dynamic capabilities (DC), resource reconfiguration is critical in maintaining strategic advantage. This paper focuses on big data analytics capabilities (BDAC) from a DC perspective to present a novel conceptualization of BDAC–DC. We examine its effects on product, business model and business process innovation, including the effects of enterprise architecture (EA) on the BDAC business model innovation relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

This research presents a novel DC-based BDAC conceptualization, operationalized as a hierarchical construct. A survey-based approach is used for data collection and data analysis is done using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).

Findings

The novel conceptualization and the effects of BDAC DC on BDA sensing-seizing and reconfiguration capacities support BDAC’s functional and evolutionary roleplay. Empirical results confirm the positive effects of BDAC–DC on first-order value targets (innovation) and the moderating effects of EA.

Research limitations/implications

The novel BDAC–DC conceptualization has several implications for BDAC, DC, EA and business value research. Practicing managers must adopt a multifaceted approach to BDAC development by considering non-technical and organizational factors, collaborate with their business counterparts to explore unique big data ideas, initiate proof-of-concept projects to secure support and allocate resources synchronously, considering a multidimensional view of the process, product and business model innovation.

Practical implications

Practicing managers must adopt a multifaceted approach to BDAC development by considering non-technical and organizational factors, collaborate with their business counterparts to explore unique big data ideas, initiate proof-of-concept projects to secure support and allocate resources synchronously, considering a multidimensional view of the process, product and business model innovation for synergistic outcomes.

Originality/value

To the best of our knowledge, this research is the first attempt toward DC-based BDAC conceptualization, empirical validation of first-order effects on various forms of innovation and the often-overlooked role of critical EA capability.

Purpose

The recent pandemic (COVID-19) and the continuous ICT advancements have resulted in increased levels of technostress. On this basis, the present work tried to explore how technostress influences employees’ turnover intention with the mediation of work-exhaustion. Deploying the theoretical lens of job demands-resources theory, the authors also aim to investigate the part that positive psychological capital (PsyCap) has to play as a moderator in between technostress and work-exhaustion.

Design/methodology/approach

The study utilizes a time-lagged methodological design; data was gathered from 544 Indian IT employees. Additionally, PLS-SEM was used to carry out the aforementioned moderation-mediation analysis.

Findings

All the hypotheses proposed were confirmed. It was found that technostress significantly impacts employees’ turnover intention. Additionally, work-exhaustion does mediate the relationship between technostress and employees’ turnover intention. Furthermore, PsyCap did play the role of a moderator between Technostress and work-exhaustion.

Practical implications

This paper provides an augmented understanding of technostress in IT organizations and highlights the role of personal resources in aiding employees’ to deal with technostress.

Originality/value

This study is one of the early studies to highlight the role of positive psychological capital in mitigating the impact of technology-induced exhaustion and employees’ turnover intention.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to extract factors enabling the digital car sharing enterprises' supply chain resilience (SCR), to interpret different factor prioritizations in terms of industry representatives’ assessments and specialties, and to discuss the results by applying and comparing different ranking techniques.

Design/methodology/approach

To achieve the purpose, the factors were identified via an in-depth systematic literature review, and next, these factors were examined by industry representatives to gather the decision matrices, then analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and measuring attractiveness by a categorical based evaluation technique (MACBETH) were applied separately to model the decision problem, and finally the findings were interpreted with different participants’ perspectives.

Findings

The findings revealed that the AHP and MACBETH provide nearly identical rankings in terms of main factors by implying the significance of the triple bottom line of sustainability. Therefore, the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability should be accomplished to obtain a resilient digital car sharing enterprise supply chain. In addition, readiness and agility are the other important factors affecting the enterprises’ resilience, and finally, although digitalization seemed to be the least important one, its sub-factor emerged at the top of the ranking list.

Originality/value

Up to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study in the literature that focuses on the SCR of car sharing companies, a particular type of digital enterprise, and uses AHP and MACBETH to examine the important factors that might affect the SCR of these companies. Practitioners should take the findings of both methods into account when evaluating the results and determine the short- and long-term strategies accordingly.

Purpose

The current research delves into how different cues in messages (such as argument quality, usefulness and informativeness) and cues related to the source (such as credibility and expertise) contribute to the perceived credibility of electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). The investigation also explores whether source cues influence the overall impact of message cues.

Design/methodology/approach

This study synthesizes findings from 100 previous empirical works through the application of meta-analysis.

Findings

The outcomes affirm the presence of both systematic and heuristic processing, the additive effects of both message and source cues and the bias effects of source cues. Moreover, the study identifies a connection between eWOM credibility and behavioral intention. Expanding on this, the research discovers that users’ tendency to avoid uncertainty moderates the impact of message and source cues on their judgment of eWoM credibility.

Originality/value

The research contributes to the eWOM literature by providing a heuristic-systematic model of eWoM credibility judgments. It provides new insights for online sellers, who can benefit from eWoM by fostering potential buyers' behavioral intention to purchase.

Purpose

This study aims to establish a robust evaluation framework for suppliers within the automotive supply chain, specifically in the stamping sector. The primary objectives are to elucidate the performance criteria of suppliers, identify indicators and scales for measuring these criteria and find the importance of the criteria.

Design/methodology/approach

The evaluation framework comprises a criteria hierarchy and indicators developed based on the evaluation criteria of major automotive manufacturers. Specific indicators and measurement scales are recommended for assessing suppliers. Importance weights for the criteria are assigned based on the input of nine experts using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, four sheet metal stamping tooling (SMST) suppliers are evaluated by four specialists using the proposed evaluation framework.

Findings

The study introduces a novel classification of criteria, encompassing financial and commercial perspectives, delivery capability, supplier facility and cultural approaches and business process necessities. The findings underscore the significance of financial and commercial stability in the selection of SMST suppliers, emphasizing their role in mitigating risks associated with disruptions, bankruptcies and unforeseen events. Additionally, several SMST evaluation factors identified in this study contribute to the development of resilience capabilities, highlighting the crucial importance of their inclusion and assessment in the proposed evaluation framework.

Originality/value

This research presents a comprehensive model for evaluating SMST suppliers, which tackles the multidisciplinary challenges within the automotive supply chain. Given the inadequacy or nonexistence of current SMTS selection models, this study bridges the gap by exploring potential and necessary criteria, alongside 116 specific indicators and measurement scales.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to establish a synthetic group decision framework based on the Pythagorean fuzzy (PF) set to select the optimal medicine cold chain logistics provider (MCCLP). Fierce market competition makes enterprises must constantly improve every link in the process of enterprise sustainable development. The evaluation of MCCLP in pharmaceutical enterprises is an important link to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness. Because of the fuzziness of expert cognition and the complexity of the decision procedure, PF set can effectively handle the uncertainty and ambiguity in the process of multi-criteria group decision decision-making (MCGDM).

Design/methodology/approach

This paper develops an integrated group decision framework through combining the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) technique and combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) approach to select a satisfactory MCCLP within PF circumstances. First, the PF set is used to process the ambiguity and uncertainty of the cognition ability of experts. Second, a novel PF knowledge measure is propounded to measure the vagueness of the PF set. Third, a comprehensive criterion weight determination technique is developed through aggregating subjective weights attained utilizing the PF DEMATEL approach and objective weight deduced by knowledge measure method. Furthermore, an integrated MCGDM approach based on synthetic weight and CoCoSo method is constructed.

Findings

The outcomes of sensibility analysis and comparison investigation show that the suggested decision framework can help decision experts to choose a satisfactory MCCLP scientifically and reasonably. Accordingly, the propounded comprehensive decision framework can be recommended to enterprises and organizations to assess the MCCLP for their improvement of core competitiveness.

Originality/value

MCCLP selection is not only momentous for pharmaceutical enterprises to improve transportation quality and ensure medicine safety but also provides a strong guarantee for enterprises to improve their core competitiveness. Nevertheless, enterprises face certain challenges due to the uncertainty of the assessment environment as well as human cognition in the process of choosing a satisfactory MCCLP. PF set possesses a formidable capability to address the uncertainty and imprecision information in the process of MCGDM. Therefore, pharmaceutical enterprises can implement the proposed method to evaluate the suppliers to further improve the comprehensive profit of enterprises.

Purpose

This study builds on a conceptual model by integrating AI features – Perceived intelligence (PIN) and anthropomorphism (PAN) – while extending expectation confirmation theory (ECT) factors – interaction quality (IQU), confirmation (CON), and customer experience (CSE) – to evaluate the continued intention to use (CIU) of AI-enabled digital banking services.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected through an online questionnaire administered to 390 digital banking customers in India. The data were further analysed, and the presented hypotheses were evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).

Findings

The research indicates that perceived intelligence and anthropomorphism predict interaction quality. Interaction quality significantly impacts expectation confirmation, consumer experience, and the continuous intention to use digital banking services powered by AI technology. AI design will become a fundamental factor; thus, all interactions should be user-friendly, efficient, and reliable, and the successful implementation of AI in digital banking will largely depend on AI features.

Originality/value

This study is the first to demonstrate the effectiveness of an AI-ECT model for AI-enabled Indian digital banks. The user continuance intention to use digital banking in the context of AI has not yet been studied. These findings further enrich the literature on AI, digital banking, and information systems by focusing on the AI's Intelligence and Anthropomorphism variables in digital banks.
