In today's highly competitive market, innovation has become a core driver of corporate competitiveness. We aim to examine the causal relationship between Confucian culture, an informal institution, and corporate innovative capacity. To achieve this, we constructed an unbalanced panel dataset of Chinese listed companies from 1990 to 2022. We use the Jinshi density as a proxy for Confucian culture and measured the innovation activity by corporate patents. Our empirical results suggest that Confucian culture will suppress corporate innovation activity. Mechanism analysis shows that corporates deeply influenced by Confucian culture tend to have heightened risk perception, thus exaggerating uncertainty and tending to reduce investment in R&D, a high-uncertainty activity. Additionally, we explored the impact of Confucian culture in the chairman's city of origin and the corporate location on its innovation activity. The results indicate that Confucian culture in the corporate location plays a dominant role in inhibiting innovation capacity. Our results provide theoretical and practical insights into the role of Confucian culture in contemporary corporate innovation and contribute to the existing research on factors influencing corporate innovation capacity.

This study investigates the role of inter-organizational information and communication technology (Inter-OICT) in enhancing e-commerce logistics performance (LP) and resilience (LR). Grounded in organizational information processing theory (OIPT) and relational exchange theory (RET), the research outlines how Inter-OICT influences LP and LR through the mediating role of inter-organizational trust (Inter-OT) and the moderating effect of organizational flexibility (OFLX). A cross-sectional survey of logistics managers facilitated the testing of these relationships. The findings indicate that Inter-OICT significantly boosts both LP and LR, with Inter-OT serving as a crucial mediator by enhancing the effectiveness of ICT deployments. Additionally, organizational flexibility was found to strengthen the impact of Inter-OICT on both performance metrics. This research underlines the importance of strategic ICT integration and flexible organizational practices in maximizing logistics efficacy and resilience, presenting novel insights into the dynamics of technology adoption in the logistics sector.

This study develops an original conceptualization of fear of automation and examines its determinants, including the role of technology in the workplace (complementary or substitutive), task routineness, workers' exposure to technology, perceived lack of control over life, and position in the labor market. Using survey data from six Central EU countries—Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia—we find that exposure to technology heightens fear of automation, as do task substitution and routineness. Younger, less-educated, and lower-income individuals, as well as those who perceive a greater lack of control, are more afraid of automation, while gender does not show a significant effect. In conclusion, we discuss how fear of automation may impact reskilling motivation in organizational practices.

Digitization has expanded the scale, scope, and velocity of international service trade; nevertheless, a notable disparity persists in the digitization journey between developed and developing nations. This discrepancy arises from the capital and technology-intensive essence of digital technologies. Consequently, this divide further accentuates the rift in international digital trade between advanced and developing economies. For effective policy interventions, estimating and analysing the prevailing gaps in the global trade network and convergence potential between leaders and ladders is imperative. Hence, this study aims to estimate disparities at both global and regional perspectives in the realm of digital trade. It uses the Dagum Gini coefficient, kernel density, Moran's I and Markov chain to measure the international differences and dynamic evolution of digital deliverable services trade between 2005 and 2020. The findings indicate that, when examining regional disparities, the variance in digital delivery service trade between Asia and Africa exhibits a progressively widening pattern. Conversely, North America, Western Europe, East Asia, and South Asia display a heightened concentration level. The evolution of the digital deliverable services trade follows a path-dependent trajectory marked by spillover and Matthew effects.

Studies on the acceptance of renewable and sustainable energy technologies have grown exponentially over the past few decades. While there are a large number of technology acceptance models, none of them includes belief-related variables. Developed within the EC H2020 ABC-Salt project, this contribution focuses on the cross-validation, in a large sample (N = 1016), across eight European countries, of the Biofuels Beliefs Scale (BBS). The BBS is composed of 26 items, organized into six factors (i.e., Policy Making Legitimation, Emissions Sustainability, Global Environmental Sustainability, Technology Compatibility, Local Socio-Economic Sustainability, and Cost Savings). Factors are distinct, reliable, and each one composed of a psychometrically acceptable number of items. The validation procedure fulfilled the adequacy requirements regarding convergent, discriminant, and predictive validity. The BBS could be useful both for testing models on technology acceptance in future studies and for communication campaigns on biofuel-related issues in applied contexts (e.g., pre-/post-assessment, monitoring, etc.).

This research evaluates the roles of natural resources and technological innovation on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievement in the organization for economic co-operation and development (OECD) countries. The study considers the data period from 1990 to 2020 and employs robust econometric techniques. The study uses globalization and participatory democracy as control variables. Several models interacting natural resources with technological innovation, globalization and democracy are also introduced to see if they moderate the association between natural resources and sustainable development index (SDI). The study outcomes reveal that natural resources and technological innovation both positively and significantly affect SDI of these nations. Moreover, participatory democracy and globalization have also been found to support the SDI. The interaction between natural resources and democracy shows a negative impact, while the interaction between natural resources and globalization shows a positive impact on SDI. Based on these results, several policy directions are suggested to advance the SDGs in OECD nations.

This study examined the psychological processes leading to the formation of COVID-19 vaccination in Japan, a country with strong vaccine hesitancy, using integrative health behavior theory. We conducted a three-wave longitudinal study of 990 Japanese adults to investigate what information on the internet cyclically influences vaccination attitudes and intentions. The results showed that the psychological process that leads to the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine can be explained by applying integrative health behavior theory. However, while susceptibility to and fear of infection significantly influenced vaccination intention at the beginning of the pandemic, only the severity of the disease was significant at Time 3, indicating that the factors that promote vaccination intention can change over time. Nevertheless, subjective norms and self-efficacy were consistently associated with COVID-19 vaccination intentions and beliefs throughout the entire period. Furthermore, although information obtained from the internet influences vaccination intention, this influence varies depending on the content. In particular, information on the availability of vaccines increases vaccination intentions, and vaccination intentions facilitate the viewing of information in the next wave, indicating that information gathering on the internet and vaccine attitudes have a cyclical influence. Although expert information reduced self-efficacy and community benefits in the first wave, this effect decreased over time. The findings provide practical insight into how to increase vaccination intentions in the context of information confusion before and after vaccination programs are launched.

Focusing on the internal dynamics of firms, this paper examines the interplay between human resource practices, absorptive capacity, and innovation. By systematically analyzing and synthesizing 100 papers from Elsevier's Scopus and Web of Science databases, this review uncovers and interprets their interconnections. We employed Multiple Correspondence Analysis to highlight the theoretical foundations and main research themes. This methodological approach facilitates the visualization of the foundational intellectual structure and the identification of new research opportunities, thereby fostering further synthesis and advancement. Following the analysis of the selected papers and in response to the need for a framework focusing exclusively on empirical studies, we developed an Antecedents-Drivers-Outcomes (ADO) framework based on empirical evidence from a sub-sample of 88 manuscripts. Based on the results of the multiple correspondence analysis and evaluations of empirical papers, this review outlines main theoretical foundations related to resource-based views, network and learning perspectives, and dynamic capabilities. It also identifies major research themes, including organizational culture, human capital empowerment, and development processes. Furthermore, the article highlights gaps and future research opportunities within these intersecting domains, acknowledges advancements in radical and process technological innovation, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, and provides an overview of the latest developments.

With nearly 70 % of the global population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, cities will need to manage energy transitions to achieve ambitious carbon neutrality goals. As the current rate of decarbonization in cities is too slow to achieve these ambitious goals, feasible pathways toward deep decarbonization are becoming increasingly urgent. This paper synthesizes a technical and economic analysis with more qualitative methods (transition theory, thick description, and action research) to examine the potential for a key set of niche technologies to drive carbon neutral transitions in Kyoto, Japan: rooftop photovoltaics (PVs) integrated with electric vehicles (EVs) as batteries at the city scale (“SolarEV City Concept”). The article examines the opportunities and challenges of using the Kyoto Miraimon Project to establish a community-scale “PV + EV” system that can inject momentum into transitions in Kyoto. The platform accelerated transitions by supporting the adoption of innovative technologies and aligning key stakeholder interests around regime-level government climate goals. With increasing EV penetration globally and the rapid uptake of PV technologies, the windows of opportunities for deep decarbonization of cities through rooftop PVs integrated with EVs are gradually opening.

预计到2050年，全球近70%的人口将居住在城市地区，城市将需要管理能源转型，以实现雄心勃勃的碳中和目标。由于目前城市的脱碳速度太慢，无法实现这些雄心勃勃的目标，实现深度脱碳的可行途径变得越来越紧迫。本文综合了技术和经济分析，采用更定性的方法（过渡理论，厚描述和行动研究）来研究一套关键的利基技术在日本京都推动碳中和过渡的潜力：屋顶光伏（pv）与电动汽车（ev）集成为城市规模的电池（“SolarEV城市概念”）。本文探讨了利用京都未来门项目建立一个社区规模的“光伏+电动汽车”系统的机遇和挑战，该系统可以为京都的转型注入动力。该平台通过支持采用创新技术和将主要利益相关者的利益与政府层面的气候目标结合起来，加速了转型。随着全球电动汽车普及率的提高和光伏技术的快速普及，通过屋顶光伏与电动汽车相结合实现城市深度脱碳的机会之窗正在逐渐打开。
