Little is known about how voice climate fosters employee work engagement. Moreover, we know little about the boundary conditions that affect voice climate and engagement linkage. To address this gap, this study examines how and when voice climate influences employee work engagement. Using the data from employees working in Pakistani organizations, our findings revealed that voice climate positivel
Intellectual capital (IC) plays a critical role in determining firm performance (FP), market value (MV), financial stability, and sustainable competitive advantage. The strategic investment in both IC and physical capital allows firms to enhance FP by optimizing resource utilization. However, non-financial firms in Pakistan often encounter a deficiency in tangible and intangible resources, skills,
Economic behavior highlights the importance of differences in individual characteristics like cognition and emotional regulation strategy in predicting the selection and performance of economic choices. However, the literature on value premium has overlooked the effect of cognition and emotional regulation strategy in assessing individual preference to select value versus growth stocks. We fill th
An escalation of commitment refers to an individual’s decision to engage in greater risk-taking following prior losses than gains. This behavior was found to be preeminent in situations framed as portfolio decisions. However, there is lack of evidence regarding the underlying mechanism behind an individual’s decision to engage in later high (or low) risk-taking in a loss (or gain) domain. A model
La revisión sistemática de la literatura proporciona la asociación entre los procesos de la memoria, el juicio de los auditores y el proceso de toma de decisiones bajo la influencia de errores cognitivos. Debido a los limitados recursos cognitivos, los auditores no pueden analizar la población de transacciones contables; por lo tanto, utilizan el muestreo y la heurística para el procesamiento de l
Background: There are several factors that lead to the growth or decline of the nonperforming loans, such as macroeconomic variables and bank specific variables, banks ownership structure, corruption and information sharing. Among them one of the main factors that affect the non-performing loans are the corruption. In developing countries corruption plays very important role in the growth of non-p
To remain competitive, organizations need an engaged workforce. Although ample research has been carried out on the antecedents of employee work engagement, a comprehensive understanding of how and when voice climate is associated with employee work engagement is currently lacking. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study examines the pathway by which voice climate affects emplo
Purpose: Value-added intellectual coefficient (VAIC) is extensively used as a measure of intellectual capital (IC), but it is criticized for not capturing the totality of IC. Therefore, this study aims to analyse critiques of the original VAIC and proposes a modified VAIC by adding missing IC components and adjusting for exogenous factors. The study uses a modified VAIC model to investigate the re
This study explores the relationship between competition and performance in a dual banking setting. More specifically, we compare whether using the Traditional Lerner index (TLI) the efficiency-adjusted Lerner index (EALI) would yield different conclusions. We take data from 2008 to 2020 and take Malaysia as a case study. Considering the nature of the dataset and the variables within, we employ th
This paper investigates the impact of investor attention on the dynamics of the value premium. We find superior return differences to value-growth strategy conditioned as low degree of investor attention. In contrast, return differences to the value-growth strategy conditioned as high investor attention are indifferent from zero. We show that return differences to low degree of investor attention
Purpose: This study aims to examine that personality traits are associated with the investor’s ability to exhibit disposition effect, herding behavior and overconfidence. It also explores how risk-attitude can modify investor behavior by moderating the association between personality traits, disposition effect, herding and overconfidence. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from 396 r
Purpose Multiple phenotypes characterized by different disease mechanisms have been hypothesized to explain the large variability in the knee osteoarthritis (KOA) population. The purpose of this study was: to estimate and compare the medial and lateral knee compression forces (CF) during gait of three subgroups of KOA subjects characterized by different alignment and cartilage disruption patterns.
Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a heterogeneous pathology characterized by a complex and multifactorial nature. It has been hypothesised that these differences are due to the existence of underlying phenotypes representing different mechanisms of the disease. Methods: The aim of this study is to identify the current evidence for the existence of groups of variables which point towards the
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a leading cause of disability worldwide. Metabolic comorbidities such as type II diabetes occur with a higher rate in people with OA than in the general population. Several factors including obesity, hyperglycaemia toxicity and physical inactivity have been suggested as potential links between diabetes and OA, and have been
This Year in Review presents key highlights from recent research relating to osteoarthritis rehabilitation and its outcomes, defined as any non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatment that aims to improve osteoarthritis symptoms at any joint. Three databases (Medline, Embase, and CINAHL Plus) were searched between 1 March 2023 to 12 March 2024. Relevant studies were chosen based on the predefin
Introduction: Altered biomechanics, increased joint loading and tissue damage, might be related in a vicious cycle within the development of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). We have defined biomechanical factors as joint-related factors that interact with the forces, moments and kinematics in and around a synovial joint. Although a number of studies and systematic reviews have been performed to assess t
Background: Lateral wedge insoles (LWIs) are non-surgical interventions used in medial knee osteoarthritis (KOA) aiming at restoring correct joint biomechanics. However, the mechanical efficacy of LWIs, based on modulation of the external knee adduction moment, is partially proved and high variability in response to these devices was observed. Research question: The principal aim of the study was
Background and purpose — Knee extensor (KE) muscle weakness is a modifiable feature commonly observed in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and constitutes a potential target for patient-specific interventions. Therefore, in this study, we explored whether KE weakness is associated with radiographic (medial and/or lateral) KOA progression and how this relationship differs depending on fron
Objective: To describe the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), opioids, and physiotherapy (PT) among persons with newly diagnosed knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) with and without NSAID contraindications or precautions. Design: We used population-based register data to identify adults aged ≥35 as of January 1, 2014, residing in Skåne region (Sweden) between 2004 and 2013, without
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to explore the awareness, experiences, and beliefs of individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) regarding their healthcare management, along with assessing their overall satisfaction levels.METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Italy, Sweden, and Russia, rigorously developed based on OA international guidelines in collaboration with healthcare profession
