In 2019 the global cost of cyber-crime was over 2 trillion dollars. Current research literature outlines that 80-90% of security breaches are due to human-enabled errors in the U.S. and the U.K. Organizations encounter a barrage of cybersecurity threats that prey on the propensity of human error, human inaction, human behavior, and human misbehavior. As a result, there is an emergence of a new area of research development around technical sociology or digital sociology as a domain to explore the human capital perspectives, group dynamics, and social aspects of cybersecurity and technology management. The paper uses a relational content analysis of the literature as the research approach aimed to determine the presence and relationships of common themes and concepts. The results were creation of a concept matrix model of interrelated co-occurring concepts. The approach used was outlined by Krippendorff who asserts that concepts are “ideational grains”; these grains can be thought of as emblems which develop connotation through their connections to other emblems.

Modern studies have asserted the role of emotions on decision-making abilities. The study examines the role of emotional intelligence on decision styles of managers and the mediating role of emotional labor in enhancing decision styles of managers in selected Indian IT firms. The research is an empirical study proposing an affective EI-EL-DM model through a survey of 300 managers of 10 MNCs in the Indian IT industry using stratified sampling technique. The survey instrument includes 83 items with Schutte et al. AES tool, Naring et al. D-QEL tool, and Scott and Bruce GDMS. Middle-level IT managers have been found to frequently, leading to avoidant, spontaneous, or dependent decision-making yielding adverse outcomes. High EI is related to frequent usage of rational and intuitive decisions besides effective use of deep acting. Emotional labour influences all decision-making abilities. HR practices are recommended to improve the decision styles of IT managers through high EI and EL.

The aim of this research is to empirically investigate the relationship between conflict management styles (CMSs), organizational agility, and innovation performance. Covariance-based structural equation modeling was used to test Rahim and Bonoma conflict management styles and their relations to organizational agility and innovation performance. A total of 460 questionnaires were collected from the Jordanian telecommunication companies. Findings revealed that integrating style has a significant impact on the organizational agility and innovation performance. Organizational agility mediates the relationship between compromising and integrating conflict styles and innovation performance. The obliging, dominating, and avoiding conflict management styles have an insignificant effect on innovation performance. This research has significantly contributed to the existing literature where prior studies were mainly conducted in the Western context. The conflict management field is still under research in the Middle Eastern business context.

This article aims to identify evidence of propensity for boredom and flow states among information technology (IT) professionals. A survey using the boredom proneness scale, Lee job boredom scale, and short flow scale resulted in 175 responses from professionals working in diverse IT activities. The main findings offer empirical evidence on the perception of IT professionals regarding (1) the occurrence of boredom and flow (even simultaneously), (2) highest occurrence of flow and boredom in the public sector, and (3) highest occurrence of boredom among younger IT professionals. This article offers relevant interpretations and contributions for theory and practice as it points out an emergent issue: IT professionals must also learn to deal with the routine and protocols of a maturing profession in order to meet industry standards, which interposes an unusual work situation for these professionals and their managers, since still prevail in the field the notions of a propensity for concentration to enjoy the task of coding and a willingness to face challenges, in a relaxed and funny way.

This research investigates factors that impact the use of electronic human resource management (e-HRM) systems at SEAT, a car manufacturing firm of the Volkswagen Group. This study builds on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology to analyze the relationships between user acceptance of e-HRM systems and its antecedent factors, namely performance expectations, ease of use, social influence, and facilitating conditions. The empirical study takes advantage of how employees at SEAT use a new e-HRM system implemented by the human resource department in the context of a business digitization strategy. One hundred and sixty-nine employees at SEAT were conveniently sampled to bring light to the most influential predictors of e-HRM user acceptance. Hierarchical multiple regression shows that performance expectations and ease of use have positive relationships towards acceptance of e-HRM technologies. In addition, this research provides some practical implications to guide HR professionals on the implementation of e-HRM systems.

Intellectual capital (IC) has gained recognition in enhancing the firms' value and gain a competitive advantage in the developed world. The present study examines the impact of IC on firms' financial performance. The study takes 48 companies for the time period of 10 years (2009-2018). The paper has used modified Pulic's value added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) as a proxy to measure IC and return on assets (ROA) to measure firms' financial performance. Granger causality between all the components of IC and ROA has been tested using Dumitrescu-Hurlin test. To analyse the impact, correlation and dynamic panel data regression technique has been applied. The result indicates that overall intellectual capital, human capital, relational capital, process capital, and financial capital have a significant impact on financial performance. On the other hand, innovation capital has no significant relationship with firms' financial performance. The results are helpful for managers, policymakers, government, and investors so that they can properly manage and regulate the IC of their organization.
