Item type:Publication, Adoption of digital banking technologies by nascent entrepreneurs in the era of transformative business information systems(Inderscience, 2025) ;Hasan Polas, Mohammad RashedAfshar Jahanshahi, AsgharNascent entrepreneurs are those peoples who are in the early stage of starting a new business. In this study, the researchers attempted to determine what factors trigger a nascent entrepreneur to adopt digital banking technologies (applications and services)? To answer this question, this research tested the direct relationship between perceived security factors, the internet experience factors, and marketing exposure factors with nascent entrepreneur's adoption of digital banking technology. Moreover, we tested the indirect effects of these three factors with entrepreneur's adoption of digital banking technology through perceived usefulness. The study hypotheses were tested using a sample of 377 Bangladeshi nascent entrepreneurs who had participated in an entrepreneurship program and are in the process of starting a business. The findings revealed that nascent entrepreneurs with marketing exposure and perceived security are more likely to employ digital banking technology; perceived usefulness mediates the relationship between internet experience, and marketing exposure with adoption of digital banking technology. ©The authors ©Inderscience.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, COVID-19: An Opportunity to Explore Hybrid Work(Palgrave Macmillan, Cham, 2023) ;Mucharraz y Cano, Yvette ;Dávila-Ruiz, Diana ;Murcio Rodríguez, RicardoCuilty-Esquivel, KarlaOrganizations need to rebuild themselves after the Great Confinement, and this chapter aims to analyze and address the effects of work during the lockdown and the characteristics of hybrid work by deconstructing the elements that led to its development and positioning. The background of work-from-home schemes during the COVID-19 crisis is discussed, acknowledging the challenges involved when these schemes were pushed to the limit. We propose to define hybrid work as the combination of work in and outside the office, where space, time, and home intersect thanks to the use of technology. This chapter presents a review and discussion of the human, technological, and organizational levers of the emergent hybrid work schemes as experienced by companies and their employees during the pandemic. Besides the approach to defining the concept, the intended contribution is to put “hybrid work” into practice in organizations and highlight its importance in talent attraction and retention. ©The authors ©Palgrave Macmillan, Cham.1Scopus© Citations 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Business Environment, Management Practices, and Technology Adoption: The New Institutional Approach(Springer Nature Switzerland, 2025)Rodríguez Pueblita, José CarlosThis chapter summarizes what we know about business environment and investment climate that influence firms’ performance and capacity to survive. It portrays one feature of the relationship between firms and governments based on published academic research that explains low income and productivity heterogeneity across and within developing countries, referring to new institutional theory. It explores firms’ internal and external factors that affect directly and indirectly the profitability of technology adoption as key to productivity and the ability to adapt to turbulent contexts, placing special emphasis on management practices, business conditions, and public goods seen as “institutions.” To motivate the discussion on the role of the management practices and quality of public goods on investment and innovation decisions, the document uses Mexican data on productivity published by the World Bank and novel empirical evidence obtained from the 2024 IPADE Business Expectations Surveys made to founders, business owners and CEOs with around 1400 responses that represent firms with different sizes, sectors, and geographical locations in Mexico. ©The author ©Springer.9 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Regulation of emotions, interpersonal conflict, and job performance for salespeople(Elsevier, 2015) ;Mulki, Jay Prakash ;Jaramillo, Fernando ;Goad, Emily A.Rivera-Pesquera, MarthaCareers in sales involve stress, which often translates to role stress that negatively impacts performance. To address this important issue, the present research examines an antecedent of stress, salespeople's regulation of emotions and the impact on organizational outcomes. Study findings show that salespeople's regulation of emotions is conducive to reducing interpersonal conflict and felt stress, which eventually leads to higher performance. Also, findings show the favorable effect of salespeople's ability to regulate emotions in reducing felt stress is stronger at higher levels of vertical collectivism. Study results are outlined along with managerial implications, which have especially important implications for organizations operating in emerging countries. ©Journal of Business Research1 6Scopus© Citations 103 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Revolutionizing language learning beyond tradition in business education 4.0: Artificial intelligence-driven language learning towards english proficiency(IGI Global, 2024-03-04) ;Hasan Polas, Mohammad Rashed ;Afshar Jahanshahi, Asghar ;Samikon, Siti Aida ;Akter, TahminaRoky, Md. Arif HosseonThis study investigates the interplay of attitude, learning environment, motivation, technological adaptability, and self-confidence with English language proficiency, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools within the context of the Business Education 4.0 era among university students in Bangladesh. Methodologically, a quantitative approach was employed, embracing positivism. A stratified random sampling technique was applied, yielding a sample of 433 university students from five universities who are currently studying at the Department of Business Administration in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Structured surveys were used to collect data from the respondents. To analyze the data, SPSS V.25 was used. Findings reveal a significant positive association between a learning environment and English language proficiency. Technological adaptability, facilitated by AI, positively influences language skills. Self-confidence plays a crucial role, aligning with Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory. © IGI GlobalScopus© Citations 2 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Intention to adopt meat alternatives: Why gender-trait self-concept matters(Elsevier BV, 2025) ;Hartmann, Patrick ;Apaolaza, VanessaParedes, Mario R.Understanding consumer attitudes towards meat alternatives is vital for reducing meat consumption and its negative environmental impacts. Drawing on social identity theory and recent research showing a link between dietary choices and gender norms, this study examines the relationship between gender-traits self-concept—self-perceived feminine and masculine traits—and consumer’s intention to adopt plant-based meat alternatives, moving beyond traditional analyses of gender influences. Our survey data collected 2023 from a representative U.S. sample (18+, N=800) showed that binary gender did not relate significantly to the intentions to buy meat plant-based meat alternatives. Instead, a more feminine gender-trait self-concept was positively associated with meat-alternative adoption intention. However, a more detailed analysis showed that this association was only significant for men, whereas, among women, self-perceived masculinity increased the intention to adopt meat alternatives. These findings suggest that individuals who adopt traits less commonly associated with their gender may be more open to dietary shifts, challenging assumptions that women are more inclined toward meat alternatives. By highlighting the interplay between gender-trait self-concept and the intention to adopt meat alternatives, this research contributes to a more nuanced understanding of dietary behavior. The findings imply that marketing strategies and public health campaigns should address a broader spectrum of gender traits to effectively promote sustainable dietary choices. © The authors © Future Foods © Elsevier © ScienceDirect.6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Causation processes and innovation strategy in small- and medium-sized firms in emerging countries: The moderating role of founder-CEOs' human capital(Elsevier, 2025) ;Liu, Gordon ;Zhang, Stephen X. ;Ko, Wai Wai ;Afshar Jahanshahi, AsgharChen, YantaiIn the dynamic and resource-constrained environment of emerging countries, small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face unique challenges in pursuing innovation strategy. This study addresses a critical gap in understanding how founder-CEOs' causation processes interact with human capital to shape SMEs' innovation strategy. While previous research has separately explored the impact of causation processes on innovation and the influence of founder-CEOs' managerial experience, these streams remain disconnected. Drawing on human capital theory, we investigate how adopting causation processes affects innovation strategy in emerging country SMEs, focusing on the moderating role of founder-CEOs' human capital. Our primary analysis utilises two waves of multi-informant survey data from 103 Indian SMEs. Results reveal that founder-CEOs' specific human capital moderates the relationship between causation processes and innovation strategy. This moderating effect strengthens with rich marketing experience but weakens with extensive technological experience. We supplement our findings with qualitative insights from interviews with 14 Indian and 19 Chinese SME founder-CEOs. This additional analysis provides further context and validates the applicability of our results. Our research contributes to a nuanced understanding of SME innovation dynamics in emerging countries and offers valuable implications for both theory and practice in fostering innovation-driven growth in this vital economic context. ©The authors ©Elsevier.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Setting the Agenda of Attributes in the 1996 Spanish General Election(2000) ;McCombes, Maxwell ;López-Escobar, EstebanLlamas, Juan PabloWe advance the central proposition of agenda-setting theory—that elements prominent in the mass media's picture of the world influence the salience of those elements in the audience's picture—through the explication of a second level of agenda setting: attribute agenda setting. This preliminary research on candidate images during the 1996 Spanish general election simultaneously examined 2 attribute dimensions—substantive and affective descriptions—to test the hypothesis that media attribute agendas influence the voters' attribute agenda. Empirically, a high degree of correspondence was found between the attribute agendas of 7 different mass media and the voters' attribute agenda for each of the 3 candidates. The median correlation from these 21 tests of the hypothesis is +.72. Sixth-order partial correlations in which the influence of the other 6 mass media are removed from the correlation between a medium's agenda and the voters' agenda for a particular candidate have a median value of +.73. Additional analyses of the attribute agendas of each medium's primary audience in comparison with its principal competitor also yielded evidence of second-level agenda setting. Future research should pursue complex longitudinal designs tracing the impact of media content on voters' images at both the aggregate and individual levels as part of the continuing scholarly dialogue on competing approaches to framing research and attribute agenda setting.1 8Scopus© Citations 250
