- All that he wants is another culture: diversity- and inclusion-oriented cultures create asymmetric stress outcomes by genderPublication . Gruda, Dritjon; Crowley-Henry, MarianPurpose: To investigate if diversity- and inclusion-oriented cultures (DIOCs) create asymmetric stress outcomes by gender, challenging the functionalist assumption that such cultures benefit all employees and revealing a potential occupational health paradox. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a longitudinal, transition-based design using data from 1,441 US employees who moved between firms. We employ a multi-level fractional logit model with a lagged dependent variable to assess how changes in DIOC exposure affect linguistically measured stress, while accounting for baseline stress and the nested structure of employees within companies. Findings: Male employees who move to stronger DIOCs experience significant reductions in stress. Female employees show no improvement, indicating an occupational health paradox with asymmetric gendered outcomes. Research limitations/implications: Our results suggest that DIOCs may redistribute, rather than reduce, workplace stress, most likely due to an “inclusion tax” (i.e. a form of hidden emotional labor that women disproportionately bear). It extends the Job Demands-Resources model, showing that culture can be a resource for some but a demand for others, where assimilation to cultural norms is forced and invisible labor exacts a toll on subgroups (e.g. women). From an EDI perspective, these findings suggest that “occupational health peacocking”, where organizations signal inclusive values without equitable outcomes, may perpetuate rather than dismantle inequality regimes. Originality/value: This study provides novel longitudinal evidence of DIOCs' paradoxical stress effects. It introduces the concept of the “inclusion tax” to explain why diversity and inclusion efforts that do not alter the structural conditions that reproduce inequality may fail women, thereby adding critical nuance to the discourse on workplace inclusion and structural inequality.
- Navigating institutional pressures in driving authentic environmental management practices in the hotel industryPublication . Riyanti, Wulan; Tjahjono, Benny; Julião, JorgeNumerous studies identify external pressures encouraging hotels to adopt environmental management (EM) practices in response to growing demand for sustainability. While some hotels implement these practices substantively, others emphasise environmental claims in marketing, raising concerns about potential greenwashing. Authenticity has thus emerged as a critical factor. This paper analyses the impact of pressures on the adoption of authentic EM practices in the hotel industry through a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines and applying the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Our integrative synthesis shows that institutional pressures, coercive, normative, and mimetic, work as an interconnected system and are filtered through guest-perceived authenticity, reinforcing substantive practices or encouraging impression-oriented responses. By combining Institutional Theory with Impression Management Theory, we advance theoretical understanding and present a model explaining how hotels translate pressures into authentic EM or symbolic greenwashing, thereby clarifying the boundary between legitimacy and authenticity in sustainability implementation.

- I work hard for the algorithm: job demands, resources and strain in (and beyond) the gig economyPublication . Duggan, James; Gruda, Dritjon; Ojo, AdegboyegaPurpose: This study examines psychological strain in gig work by analyzing how algorithmic management (AM), framed through the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), shapes strain outcomes. We compare gig and non-gig workers to isolate the influence of AM. Design/methodology/approach Using LIWC, we analyze 6,505 Glassdoor job reviews to compare psychological strain among drivers in gig versus non-gig roles. Findings: Counterintuitively, compensation and work–life balance – typically strain-buffering resources – are associated with increased strain for gig workers, suggesting that algorithmic control alters how resources are experienced. Research limitations/implications The findings suggest that within the ‘digital cage' of the gig economy, the traditional JD-R resource-to-strain pathway is reconfigured. This highlights the need for research that investigates how the delivery mechanism (AM) of a resource can neutralize its buffering potential. Practical implications: Platform organizations must recognize that simply increasing pay or flexibility within need-thwarting structures may inadvertently worsen worker strain. Practitioners should prioritize autonomy-supportive algorithmic designs – moving away from gamified, opaque incentives toward transparent systems that restore operational control to the worker. Originality/value: This research provides evidence that AM does not merely add demands but fundamentally reshapes the relationship between job resources and strain within the gig economy. It problematizes the “autonomy paradox” in gig work to explain why the JD-R resource pathway breaks down.

- Sustainable versus conventional bonds: a comparative analysis of primary market spreadsPublication . Pinto, João; Ribeiro, DivaThis paper provides a comparative analysis of the credit spreads and pricing of sustainable and conventional bonds issued by nonfinancial firms worldwide between 2012 and 2022. We find that sustainable and conventional bonds respond differently to common pricing factors, with investors placing less emphasis on credit ratings when pricing sustainable bonds. On average, there is no significant difference in credit spreads between sustainable and comparable conventional bonds, a result that holds across matched sample analysis and endogenous switching regression models. However, during the COVID-19 crisis, green and sustainability bonds were associated with significantly lower spreads, suggesting increased investor demand for ESG-linked instruments in periods of uncertainty. Finally, we show that contractual, macroeconomic, and firm-level characteristics influence the choice between sustainable and conventional bond issuance.
- How do unintended consequences emerge from EHR implementation? An affordance perspectivePublication . Trocin, Cristina; Lee, Gwanhoo; Bernardi, Roberta; Sarker, SuprateekDrawing upon an affordance-actualisation perspective, we aim to advance our knowledge of the emergence of unintended consequences from the implementation of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Prior research has not yet deeply understood how these unintended consequences unfold. We investigate how the (non-)actualisation of affordances produces unintended consequences. Our exploratory case study of an EHR system implemented in Italy reveals four types of actions (flexing, bypassing, avoiding, and reorganising) through which different types of unintended consequences occur with the (non-)actualisation of affordances. We explain and theorise how interactions among technology features and psychosocial and organisational constraints/enablers contribute to users’ perception of affordances and technological constraints. This, in turn, influences different types of user actions, leading to unintended consequences. Our findings and insights contribute to the literature on unintended consequences and help organisations better manage implementing new systems.
- Inovação digital na gestão agropecuária: o caso da plataforma BestCoopMedPublication . Andrade, António; Sottomayor, Miguel; Cunha, Mariana; Fonseca, Maria JoséA digitalização dos processos de gestão constitui uma dimensão central de inovação organizacional, particularmente em setores rurais onde persistem práticas de gestão com reduzida integração tecnológica, como seja o caso da gestão de explorações leiteiras. Recorrendo a um estudo de caso descritivo, o processo de inovação digital que conduziu ao desenvolvimento da plataforma BestCoopMed é apresentado. A plataforma gerida por uma confederação de agricultores foi construída através de ciclos iterativos inspirados em metodologias ágeis, envolvendo diversos agentes. Esta solução digital foi concebida para recolher e transformar dados produtivos, técnicos e económicos de explorações leiteiras, num recurso de benchmarking e apoio à decisão. A análise às funcionalidades da versão que entra em produção evidencia que a plataforma BestCoopMed é promissora no seu contributo para os processos de controlo e de tomada de decisão, proporcionando eficiência económica, a redução de erros de registo e o reforço da capacidade de planeamento estratégico das explorações leiteiras. Identificam-se ainda oportunidades futuras de evolução, incluindo integração com IoT, a automação parcial da recolha de dados, expansão a outros setores agropecuários e a associação da perspetiva ambiental e social.
- Advancing theory and practice concerning CO2e emissions: a time-based tool for organisationsPublication . Thorpe, Andrea Stevenson; Figge, FrankAlthough organisations are increasingly scrutinised on their CO2e emissions, economic growth is frequently encouraged. Eco-efficiency–based initiatives— ‘doing more with less’—could be a solution. The problem is that many organisations (e.g., smaller enterprises without access to specialist knowledge) have difficulties in gauging the impact of their initiatives on macrolevel targets of CO2e reduction. Conversely, a time-based approach, as seen in some social communication tools (e.g., Earth Overshoot Day), is inherently more intuitive, producing a specific date on which organisations cease being sustainable. The problem is that this approach fails to accommodate economic growth in its logic, thus eschewing the benefits growth can bring. In our conceptual article, we develop a simple tool for practitioner use, using a time-based rationale whilst incorporating eco-efficiency principles. In doing so, we advance theory by synergising two different approaches within the sustainable resource use discourse and indicate positive implications for macropolicy development.
- STFU and follow: trait activation of dark triad responses to leader profanity across 19 countriesPublication . Gruda, Dritjon; McCleskey, Jim A.; Al-Shammari, Marwan; Lisak, Alon; Psychogios, Alexandros; Szamosi, Leslie; Bhavnani-Akowuah, Lovina; Simha, Aditya; Tang, Mingfeng; Zaharie, Monica; Tsai, Chou-YuWhile workplace profanity is typically considered inappropriate, research indicates mixed effects on perceived trustworthiness, intelligence, authenticity, and informality. Using trait activation theory, we examined how leader profanity influences supervisor satisfaction among 5660 employees across 19 countries, considering follower Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy) and country-level income inequality. Leader profanity interacted significantly with each Dark Triad trait. In low-inequality countries, highly Machiavellian and psychopathic followers responded positively to leader profanity, while narcissistic followers showed minimal effects. In high-inequality countries, leader profanity decreased satisfaction regardless of follower personality, suggesting strong situational norms override individual differences. These findings demonstrate that personality traits require specific situational conditions for expression, with societal context establishing boundary conditions for trait activation.
