PurposeDigital disruption has posed challenges to managers. Metaverse is one of the fastest-growing digital transformations (DTs) impacting business across the globe. There needs to be more literature on the academic prospect relating to metaverse. This article aims to analyze and evaluate the publications to highlight themes, opportunities and contemporary challenges of metaverse in business management to get insights about the challenges posed to managers through such transformation.Design/methodology/approachOver 74 articles from 2006 to 2022 were collected using the Scopus database. These were further analyzed to understand how previous research captures metaverse in the domain of business management and the amount to which has been studied in terms of publication productivity, country productivity, affiliation productivity and author productivity, Top-cited documents, keywords analysis, network visualization of keywords and bibliometric coupling. The authors also gathered literature related to metaverse in the field of business management and its uses for managers.FindingsThe authors' findings reveal that metaverse in business management has gained momentum in publications since 2022. Approximately 68% of total publications and 56% of total citations were from 2022. USA is the flagbearer of metaverse around the globe and the University of Georgia is leading in affiliation productivity. Network analysis through Vosviewer shows that keywords metaverse and virtual reality (VR) have the highest co-occurrences and link strength.Originality/valueThis article is relevant to those interested in how the world of virtual workspace is making a paradigm shift in management development. This study aims to review previous literary works through bibliometrics and visualization approaches comprehensively.

PurposeThe aim of this research is to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the academic literature indexed in the Core Collection of the Web of Science (WoS) on happiness management in companies during the period between 2000 and 2022. In particular, the variables used to keep the scientific production under study are as follows: (1) time evolution, (2) publication format, (3) categories, (4) authors, (5) institutions, (6) journals, (7) publishers and (8) countries.Design/methodology/approachTo carry out the analysis, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology is followed, using the WoS database for data collection and VosViewer to create the network maps.FindingsThe results show, among other aspects, the accelerated growth rate of the scientific production studied since 2017, the use of publications in articles as the main format for disseminating research results, the relevance of the business category as the area of study in which most of the scientific production examined falls as well as the predominant role of the publishers Emerald, Springer and Elsevier in the publication of scientific documents on the subject under analysis.Originality/valueThere are different reasons that justify the originality of the study. First, the research advances the understanding of the academic literature on happiness management at the corporate level. Second, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no previous bibliometric studies that have addressed this topic. Third, the research analyses the literature under analysis from the first record to the year 2022, assuming an update of the previous narrative and systematic reviews carried out on the subject studied.

PurposeThe changing workplace and the disruption and transformation of business processes brought on by modern technology make it difficult for a firm to maintain its existing plans. A management's ability to succeed is related to sustaining and developing its employees to be innovative workers. The idea is to empower subordinates and share authority with them, which increases efficiency.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, it was anticipated that there is a definite relationship between leadership empowerment and workplace cultures of self-esteem, emotional intelligence and creative thinking. Data were obtained using random sample techniques to confirm the hypothesis. A total of 291 Pakistani private-sector employees were surveyed for this study.FindingsThere were positive and substantial links between empowered leadership and creativity, while emotional intelligence and organizational self-esteem have an inverse relationship. For psychological appeal and inventiveness at work, empowerment alone is sufficient. Intellectual stimulus or culture of excessively positive self-esteem may cause numerous limits at work. Hence, management should avoid situations where leaders are predisposed to developing empowering techniques.Research limitations/implicationsThis study yields an additional understanding of organizational behavior literature. It was concluded from this study that empowering leaders should avoid using emotional intelligence when scaling up creative strategies. As an alternative, they should develop a culture of self-esteem through emotional intelligence.Practical implicationsLeaders may want to consider demographic values while developing empowerment strategies. It is not recommended to use emotional intelligence and empowerment simultaneously. As a result, this framework suggests a realistic and candid approach that is simple to implement.Originality/valueLeaders make people aware of the ongoing importance of innovative processes to encourage staff to be creative. Successful leaders may use either empowering culture or leadership empowerment strategies for a more significant appeal. Self-esteem culture may provide a structure of interaction buffer against the other emotions that could counter disruption.

PurposeUnder the tenets of conservation of resources and role theories, this study has aimed to draw up and test a moderated-mediation model. The model postulates job burnout (JB) as a mediator between role stress (RS) and organizational commitment (OC) while transformational leadership (TFL) as a moderator to such mediation.Design/methodology/approachFor this cross-sectional study, multisource field data from the service industry was collected using a convenient sampling procedure. A total of 354 employees participated in the anonymous survey. The proposed model of the study was tested with a hierarchical regression approach using Hayes PROCESS macro.FindingsThe data fitted best for the four-factor measurement model of the study. Afterward, the authors found that RS directly affected employees’ perception of OC. The relationship between RS and OC was partially mediated by JB. The authors ascertained the transformational leader’s buffering role between the RS-JB relationship and the transformational leader’s contingent indirect effect as well.Originality/valueThis research is a first-of-its-kind investigation into enlightening the direct and indirect link via JB between RS and OC and the moderating effect of TFL on such indirect effect in a rarely studied organizational setting of a developing country.

PurposeGiven that the literature in terms of business ambidexterity is continually growing, the of this paper is to identify the future research suggestions made by several authors with regard to ambidexterity and to group them into meaningful themes.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review (SLR) of peer reviewed journal articles in the field of ambidexterity was conducted. A total of 128 relevant articles were selected, which were published in 58 journals over the past 2 decades (2000–2021).FindingsThe plethora of the future research suggestions made by several authors with regard to ambidexterity are analytically presented. Moreover, based on these suggestions, meaningful future research themes were revealed and these were further classified into three broad categories, namely “factors influencing the adoption of ambidexterity and its success”, “the types of ambidexterity” and “the effects of ambidexterity”.Research limitations/implicationsThe subjectivity of grouping the future research suggestions into themes as well as not examining the interrelationships among these themes, are limitations of the present study. Based on these limitations, future literature review studies can be conducted.Practical implicationsAs this is a SLR focusing on developing future ambidexterity research themes, there are no direct practitioner implications. However, practitioners may benefit from future research prompted by this SLR.Originality/valueThis study contributes to management literature by suggesting future research not only on organizational ambidexterity like previous studies, but also on four different approaches to ambidexterity.

PurposeThis paper uses the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) among students from different South-East (SE) European countries, considering various personal and situational variables. The authors examine how the regional cultural context affects individual perceptions and beliefs about entrepreneurship, which in turn form the basis of the cognitive antecedents of the TPB model.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of 850 respondents, the authors estimate a two-level model, addressing the issue of endogeneity in the relationship between attitudes and beliefs and the respondents' EI. Specifically, the authors focus on heterogeneity across nations in attitudes toward entrepreneurial behavior (ATEB), subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC).FindingsThe results show that the perceived behavioral control and the attitude toward entrepreneurial behavior are the main determinants of Balkan students' EI. The authors find that the role of SE European culture in entrepreneurship intentions does not follow the Western pattern. In this particular regional environment dominated by collectivist culture, students' EIs are influenced more by cooperation, caring for others and other non-monetary benefits.Research limitations/implicationsLike any study, this study has limitations. First, all the variables were measured using a single questionnaire. Although common method bias was shown not to be an issue, in future research different variables should be measured with different methods. For instance, using the items by Liñán and Chen (2009) which were developed in the United States of America, to measure SE European students' entrepreneurial perceived behavioral control might ignore some requisite resources or abilities typical for SE European students, such as personal relational network (similar to the notion of guanxi in China (see, e.g. Hwang et al., 2009). Second, Busenitz et al. (2000) indicate that cross-national differences in entrepreneurship are best explained by a broader set of institutions, i.e. educational and governmental support agencies. In general, the empirical evidence on the relationship between national culture and entrepreneurial behavior is mixed and this is generally agreed that an important issue that needs to be considered is the interactions between cultural values, social institutions, industry characteristics and outcomes such as entrepreneurship (Hayton et al., 2002).

目的本文运用计划行为理论(TPB),在考虑各种个人和情境变量的情况下,解释来自不同东南欧国家的学生的创业意向。作者研究了区域文化背景如何影响个体对创业的感知和信念,这反过来又构成了TPB模型认知前因的基础。设计/方法/方法使用850名受访者的样本,作者估计了一个两级模型,解决了态度和信念与受访者EI之间关系的内生性问题。具体而言,作者关注各国对创业行为(ATEB)、主观规范(SN)和感知行为控制(PBC)态度的异质性。研究结果表明,感知的行为控制和对创业行为的态度是巴尔干学生EI的主要决定因素。作者发现,东南欧文化在创业意向中的作用并不遵循西方模式。在这种由集体主义文化主导的特殊区域环境中,学生的EIs更多地受到合作、照顾他人和其他非金钱利益的影响。研究局限性/含义与任何研究一样,这项研究也有局限性。首先,所有变量都使用一份问卷进行测量。尽管常见的方法偏差被证明不是一个问题,但在未来的研究中,不同的变量应该用不同的方法来衡量。例如,使用Liñán和Chen(2009)在美国开发的项目来衡量中欧学生的创业感知行为控制,可能会忽略一些中欧学生特有的必要资源或能力,例如个人关系网络(类似于中国的关系概念(例如,见Hwang等人,2009)。其次,Busenitz等人。(2000年)表明,创业方面的跨国差异最好由一系列更广泛的机构来解释,即教育和政府支持机构。一般来说,关于民族文化与创业行为之间关系的经验证据喜忧参半,人们普遍认为,需要考虑的一个重要问题是文化价值观、社会制度、行业特征和创业等结果之间的相互作用(Hayton et al.,2002)。未来,类似的研究可能包括既往教育、年龄以及人力、社会和金融资本分布更大的受访者。实际含义在家庭环境中获得的支持的存在,以及个人主义和竞争欲望的缺乏,为年轻人成为企业家创造了更有利的环境。旨在鼓励创业的教育工作者和政策制定者必须认真考虑到这一点,因为在这里研究的社会中,未来创业者的动机取决于与西方世界通常遇到的完全不同的驱动因素。此外,从性别角度来看,作者的研究表明,在家庭关系更紧密、性别歧视更多的社会中,个人更紧密的社会环境可能不会为女性决定成为企业家创造合适的环境。社会含义社会中强烈的等级文化违背了成为企业家的意愿。也就是说,当人们接受社会流动性低,因此不太可能扭转人们在社会中的相对地位时,人们就不太容易成为企业家。在集体主义水平较低的西方社会,情况恰恰相反。在这里所考虑的社会中,家庭和社会联系紧密,创业被认为是一种更安全的选择,受到非个人主义价值观的鼓励,并与积极的竞争力产生负面联系。在这些社会中,政府和教育部门等正规机构可以在支持未来的女性企业家方面发挥重要作用(Borges等人,2021)。创意/价值在东南欧国家,潜在企业家的动机取决于与西方世界通常遇到的完全不同的驱动因素。
{"title":"Who wants to be an entrepreneur in the Balkans? From perceptions and beliefs to intentions","authors":"Effrosyni Vasileiou, Anastasios G. Karamanos, Nikolaos Georgantzis","doi":"10.1108/jmd-11-2021-0312","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1108/jmd-11-2021-0312","url":null,"abstract":"PurposeThis paper uses the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) among students from different South-East (SE) European countries, considering various personal and situational variables. The authors examine how the regional cultural context affects individual perceptions and beliefs about entrepreneurship, which in turn form the basis of the cognitive antecedents of the TPB model.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of 850 respondents, the authors estimate a two-level model, addressing the issue of endogeneity in the relationship between attitudes and beliefs and the respondents' EI. Specifically, the authors focus on heterogeneity across nations in attitudes toward entrepreneurial behavior (ATEB), subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC).FindingsThe results show that the perceived behavioral control and the attitude toward entrepreneurial behavior are the main determinants of Balkan students' EI. The authors find that the role of SE European culture in entrepreneurship intentions does not follow the Western pattern. In this particular regional environment dominated by collectivist culture, students' EIs are influenced more by cooperation, caring for others and other non-monetary benefits.Research limitations/implicationsLike any study, this study has limitations. First, all the variables were measured using a single questionnaire. Although common method bias was shown not to be an issue, in future research different variables should be measured with different methods. For instance, using the items by Liñán and Chen (2009) which were developed in the United States of America, to measure SE European students' entrepreneurial perceived behavioral control might ignore some requisite resources or abilities typical for SE European students, such as personal relational network (similar to the notion of guanxi in China (see, e.g. Hwang et al., 2009). Second, Busenitz et al. (2000) indicate that cross-national differences in entrepreneurship are best explained by a broader set of institutions, i.e. educational and governmental support agencies. In general, the empirical evidence on the relationship between national culture and entrepreneurial behavior is mixed and this is generally agreed that an important issue that needs to be considered is the interactions between cultural values, social institutions, industry characteristics and outcomes such as entrepreneurship (Hayton et al., 2002). In the future, similar studies could include respondents with a larger dispersion of prior education, age, and human, social and financial capital.Practical implicationsThe existence of support received in the family environment and the lack of individualistic and competitive aspirations create a more favorable environment for a young person to become entrepreneur.

PurposeThis study examines the research that has been conducted on user-generated advertising content in the social marketing strategies of commercial brands to understand the phenomenon, explore academic interest in the topic and identify areas of limited thematic coverage.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review of existing scientific literature in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus was carried out using the PRISMA protocol. A co-occurrence matrix was used to review emerging topics on user-generated content (UGC) and influencer marketing, allowing the identification of articles (n = 59) related to the objective of this research.FindingsMost research has analyzed UGC in images or text, but only very few have addressed videos and other digital formats (such as reels, image carousels or podcasts), although there is sufficient work focused on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. There was no evidence of work exploring the effects, repercussions and possible dangers of uncontrolled brand exposure through Unofficial Brand Ambassadors.Originality/valueThe literature review has allowed finding important areas of future research that the scientific community has not sufficiently addressed. Likewise, this work shows structurally several classifications of UGC, which will facilitate future research to deepen and broaden these categories.
本研究考察了商业品牌社会营销策略中用户生成广告内容的研究,以了解这一现象,探索对该主题的学术兴趣,并确定主题覆盖范围有限的领域。设计/方法学/方法采用PRISMA协议对Web of Science (WoS)和Scopus中的现有科学文献进行系统综述。使用共现矩阵来审查用户生成内容(UGC)和影响者营销的新兴主题,从而确定与本研究目标相关的文章(n = 59)。大多数研究都分析了图像或文本形式的UGC,但只有极少数研究了视频和其他数字格式(如卷轴、图像轮播或播客),尽管有足够的研究集中在Twitter、Facebook和YouTube上。没有证据表明,通过非官方品牌大使来探索不受控制的品牌曝光的影响、反响和可能的危险。原创性/价值文献综述发现了科学界尚未充分解决的未来研究的重要领域。同样,这项工作在结构上显示了UGC的几种分类,这将有助于未来的研究深化和扩大这些分类。
