Considering the research on instruction-level contextualization, a PSS might not only motivate participants to fake but might also promote the adoption of a work frame of reference (FOR). Thus, differences in responses between faking and control conditions could partly result from FOR effects. (Full) item-level contextualization can also be used to promote the adoption of a work FOR, and the adoption through this route is stronger than through instruction manipulation. We combined the two approaches to disentangle FOR and faking, conducted a 4-wave longitudinal study with a 2 (instructions: GIs vs. PSS) × 2 (full item-level work contextualization absent vs. present) repeated-measures design (<i>N</i> = 309), and compared the effects of these conditions on three HEXACO-PI-R scales (Conscientiousness, Emotionality, Honesty-Humility). Irrespective of the investigated personality trait, the ANOVAs revealed significant main effects. As expected, compared with GIs, the PSS increased the adoption of a work FOR, and the effects were smaller than the effects of full item-level work contextualization present (vs. absent). Also, as expected, the PSS (vs. GIs) and full item-level work contextualization present (vs. absent) changed participants' scale mean scores. However, importantly, there were no interaction effects. Exploratory mediation analyses indicated direct rather than indirect (mediator: adoption of a work FOR) effects of instructions on participants' scale mean scores. In conclusion, the internal validity of faking research is <i>not threatened</i> by confounding FOR effects.</p>","PeriodicalId":51465,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Selection and Assessment","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijsa.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143901092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These characteristics distinguish B2B platforms from their business-to-consumer (B2C) counterparts, as they are defined by distinctive design features and governance drivers. Yet, the current platform literature predominantly focuses on B2C markets, leaving a critical gap in understanding the design and governance of B2B platforms in industrial contexts. We address this gap by adopting a meta-organizational perspective on B2B platforms in industrial markets to examine how the distinct design features of B2B platforms shape their meta-organizational governance. First, we uncover distinctive design features of B2B platforms across three dimensions: platform market, platform architecture, and cyber-physical integration. Building on these features and evidence from the emerging literature, we classify B2B platforms into five dominant archetypes: matchmaker, application marketplace, solution enabler, consortium, and decentralized autonomous platforms. Second, we theorize that the governance of these archetypes is shaped by their design features and revolves around two main dimensions: control rights (i.e., enforcement authority) and decision rights (i.e., autonomy over platform assets). These dimensions underpin distinct governance models, which we label unified, collaborative, regulated, and algorithmic governance. We consolidate these insights into an organizing framework of B2B platform governance and contribute to the literature in four ways: (1) providing a nuanced understanding of B2B platform design and governance, (2) identifying distinct archetypes and developing a framework for B2B platform governance, (3) explaining how B2B platform design features influence governance models, and (4) setting a research agenda to strengthen the design and governance of B2B platforms. By broadening our understanding of platforms as meta-organizations, we advance knowledge of how B2B platforms create and capture value in industrial markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 6","pages":"Article 105236"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patent features include the textual content as well as the networked background information, such as the inventors and assignees, as well as the previous works they have created. The framework uses a Transformer to compare the patent with news or analytical reports concerning technological development trends, mining its content both semantically and syntactically. An active graphical convolutional network, mining the innovation collaboration network of a patent, is also employed as part of the framework to reveal the relationship between patents, companies, and inventors. This framework finally utilizes the obtained features to construct a multi-head self-attention model to predict a patent with the probability of being a sleeping beauty. This paper examines the proposed model by comparing it to several well-known baseline methods using real-world cases from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The proposed deep learning solution outperforms all baseline methods according to all performance metrics. Its long-term forecasting accuracy significantly exceeds its rivals.
