This paper theorizes travel avoidance as a rising behavioral phenomenon and demonstrates its distinctiveness from the lack of intention to travel. We revisit previous studies to streamline the conceptualization of travel avoidance and establish that it can be driven by various external factors perceived as potential harm or threat. Furthermore, we develop a Travel Avoidance measurement in two formats: Short-term Travel Avoidance (STA) and General Travel Avoidance (GTA) tested in one empirical context (a health crisis). Across three large online studies, we first derived travel avoidance (UK; N = 1101); then confirmed that it influences (while being distinct from) the intention to travel using a different sample (Austria; N = 1106). Finally, assessing this construct in a third country-setting (France, N = 1083) capturing self-reported real-life behavior. The construct and validated scales are transferable and efficient to capture travel avoidance in other contexts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48469,"journal":{"name":"Tourism Management","volume":"113 ","pages":"Article 105295"},"PeriodicalIF":12.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997123","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}

To ensure they are capable of responding quickly to such trends, organizations implement a new leadership approach, which research and practice refer to as Digital Leadership (DL). The previous literature considers organizations from the information technology (IT) industry as frontrunners in developing DL. While it has focused on the skills of the digital leader and defining DL, our study addresses the so far unexplored development of DL at routine level. We conducted 24 interviews with followers and leaders in the IT industry. Analyzing the transcripts of those interviews with the theoretical lens of organizational routines, we contribute to DL research. We shift the narrative in this field from defining what DL is to understanding how DL is developed by the actions of leaders and followers through artifact-based transformation of DL routines. We identify artifacts in six roles that stabilize or flexibilize performance of DL routines. We uncover that DL is not static but dynamic as flexibilizing artifacts promote adjustment in routine performance based on situational context. Leaders and followers can impede DL development by deciding to situationally deviate from the intended role of artifacts due to tensions between artifacts and past experiences. These findings advance DL theory by uncovering the importance of followers in DL and leadership theory by adding the lens of routines to leadership development. They help practitioners to understand the complexity of DL development and how the IT industry realizes DL.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47253,"journal":{"name":"Information and Organization","volume":"35 4","pages":"Article 100599"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144997859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates variations and trends in energy equity across Chinese provinces, delving into the micro-level dynamics of enterprise carbon disclosure in relation to energy justice. The results underscore the significant impact that carbon information disclosure plays in advancing energy justice, in line with the principles of voluntary disclosure. Voluntary carbon disclosures are notably efficacious in amplifying positive outcomes, with third-party verification acting as a substitutive and significant factor. The comprehensive effect of these two elements can also promote the progress of energy justice. Moreover, carbon information disclosure mitigates information asymmetry and facilitates a more equitable energy conversion process. The cumulative impact of carbon information disclosure and energy justice not only reduces carbon emissions in the year of the study but also substantially reduces emissions in the subsequent year. This research highlights the crucial role of transparent carbon reporting in laying the groundwork for a sustainable and equitable energy future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Research","volume":"200 ","pages":"Article 115677"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144988060","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}

Yet in research examining these effects, distinctions between arms-length relationships (largely transactional buyers and suppliers) and other influencers, such as strategic research partners (i.e., entities who jointly maintain legal commitments to shared knowledge and resources, with common service or product development interests) are often ambiguous. In our work, we aim to investigate this distinction. Combining arguments that reflect institutional theory, stakeholder theory, and expectancy disconfirmation theory, we anticipate positive associations between the environmental performance of strategic partners and the future performance of related focal firms. We posit these associations to be more easily observable than those between a firm and its arms-length relations. We further suggest that, due to the level of integration and codependency with strategic research partners, losses in environmental performance (backsliding) will be associated with dampened links between strategic partner performance and subsequent firm performance. By weaving together evidence from thousands of firm-year observations, merging representative fields from FactSet, CSRHub, and Compustat sources, we find support for these associations.

This paper examines a seller's choice between two strategies for multi-unit purchase coupons: the universal coupon strategy (U-Coupon), which offers coupons to all consumers, and the targeted coupon strategy (T-Coupon), which specifically targets consumers who have not made prior purchases. We find that the coupon discount offered under the T-Coupon strategy is higher than that under the U-Coupon strategy, suggesting that the T-Coupon strategy leads to greater price discrimination. Contrary to common wisdom, the T-Coupon strategy, despite its precise consumer targeting, is not always the optimal choice. Indeed, the U-Coupon strategy outperforms the T-Coupon strategy when there are substantial cost reductions from multi-unit sales or when product quality is well-maintained over time. In contrast, the T-Coupon strategy proves more effective when cost reductions are modest and quality retention is moderate. We verify that these findings remain robust, regardless of whether the retail price is determined endogenously or exogenously. Finally, we show that low consumer retention incentivizes the seller to adopt coupon strategies that maximize consumer surplus. Moreover, both coupon strategies enhance the seller's profit and consumer surplus in exogenous price scenarios, whereas the T-Coupon strategy may increase the seller's profit at the expense of consumer surplus in endogenous price scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48399,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 104494"},"PeriodicalIF":13.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144988193","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}

Trustworthiness and trust are central to meeting public expectations. Motivational posturing theory differentiates resistant and dismissive defiance during the COVID‐19 pandemic. While trust is central to responding to resistant defiance, it is less relevant for dismissive defiance. Dismissive defiance is associated with distrust, conceptualized as losing hope that trust norms will restore trust. Using multiple linear regression and path analysis of Australian survey data, pathways are identified to resistant defiance and dismissive defiance. Hypotheses are confirmed, but with some unexpected insights. Trust in government and medical experts dampens both resistant and dismissive defiance. Intervening variables on the resistant defiance pathway include disagreement with government COVID decisions and vaccine hesitancy. On the dismissive defiance pathway, intervening variables include poor information seeking on COVID and poor adherence to COVID‐safe behaviors.
