Grounded in social cognitive theory, we propose that human-robot collaboration increases employees’ moral disengagement, leading to counterproductive work behavior (CWB), with human-robot task interdependence exacerbating these negative effects. Unlike human coworkers, service robots are limited in their ability to make moral reasoning and exercise moral agency, and thus can hardly intervene when service employees act unethically. Consequently, when perceiving weak moral monitoring from robot coworkers, service employees are more likely to morally disengage and conduct CWB, especially under high task interdependence. We validated our model using mixed methods. Study 1 involved 324 frontline employees working with 76 service robots in a large restaurant chain in southern China through a two-wave survey. Study 2 was a scenario-based experiment with 163 English-native employees in Western countries. Both studies supported our hypotheses, offering valuable theoretical and practical insights.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 105233"},"PeriodicalIF":10.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144222834","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}

Through in-depth interviews and participant observations conducted in France, we explore the multifaceted journey of cancer patients as they navigate pain while engaging in mountain climbing. Our findings shed light on the transformative power of embracing pain within consumption experiences and contribute to the evolving discourse on pain marketing. Three stages of this consumption journey are explored: 1) the pre-encounter stage and the motivations to embark on this experience, reinforced by therapeutic guidance, surrounding support, and personal preparation; 2) the encounter stage and the interplay between physical and psychological conditions in which cognitive, emotional and social resources are at stake; and 3) the post-encounter stage with the lasting impact and consequences of this transformative experience of self-reflection on both individuals and service providers. It clarifies the transformative potential inherent in embracing pain, guiding patients towards personal growth, and empowerment, and the cultivation of meaningful connections with brands aligned with their values.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Research","volume":"199 ","pages":"Article 115488"},"PeriodicalIF":10.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144222954","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}

Our findings from a representative US survey (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 800) show that, besides climate change concern, health concern about air pollution significantly influences BEV adoption intention. Furthermore, health orientation moderates this relationship, with highly health‐oriented individuals showing a stronger positive effect of air pollution health concern on BEV adoption. For highly health‐oriented individuals, air pollution health concern has a stronger influence than climate change concern. These findings highlight the importance of emphasizing personal health benefits alongside environmental benefits in marketing and policy strategies. Further findings of the study show that adoption barriers, such as high costs and infrastructure limitations, remain significant deterrents to the switch to electric mobility. Increasing awareness of the noxious health impacts of pollution caused by internal combustion engines and promoting health awareness, together with overcoming the known adoption barriers, can accelerate the transition to sustainable electric mobility, contributing to climate change mitigation while enhancing public health outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236840","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}

Employing a convenient sampling technique and cross-sectional design, data are collected through a self-administered questionnaire from professionals in the field and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that knowledge acquisition exerts a positive and significant impact on ENS, paralleled by the similarly positive and substantial influence of knowledge conversion. In addition, both knowledge preservation and utilization have beneficial and considerable impacts on ENS, highlighting the multifaceted nature of knowledge management processes (KMP). Notably, KNE significantly enhances the effect of the four KMPS dimensions on ENS. Overall, this research not only substantially contributes to the literature, particularly by examining KNE’s moderating role in the interaction between KMPS and ENS, but also provides a comprehensive analysis of the symbiotic relationship between these factors. It expands the research landscape by providing insights into the complex mechanisms through which knowledge management and entrepreneurship interact within the IT sector. Furthermore, the findings offer practical relevance to managers and policymakers, underscoring the critical importance of effective knowledge management practices in fostering ENS. Finally, this study serves as a valuable resource for future researchers, extending research horizons and understanding how knowledge-driven strategies can be effectively leveraged for business success in the dynamic and rapidly evolving IT industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"10 4","pages":"Article 100752"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144229893","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}

The focus on math and reading achievement is motivated by the cross‐sectional relationship between test scores and adult outcomes, such as earnings and college completion. But do changes in NAEP scores predict changes in long‐term economic and social outcomes for future earners—or do they reflect other factors unrelated to earnings such as teaching to the test? We investigate by linking long‐term outcomes by year and state of birth to NAEP scores. We find that more recent birth cohorts in states with large increases in NAEP math achievement enjoyed higher incomes, improved educational attainment, and declines in teen motherhood, incarceration, and arrest rates compared to those in states with smaller increases. In fact, the relationship between changes in NAEP achievement and cohort earnings is about two thirds the size of the cross‐sectional relationship observed in prior research: a 6% to 8% rise in earnings per standard deviation rise in 8th grade math. The results are not sensitive to controls for student demographics, labor market conditions, or measures of children's health (such as low birthweight).","PeriodicalId":48105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Analysis and Management","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144236968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conducted an online experiment (Study 1, N = 256) and a field survey (Study 2, N = 348) to test our hypotheses. The results indicate that employees' PCD fosters moral deficit, which drives OCB-O, while simultaneously promoting psychological entitlement, which increases deviant behavior.
