We propose an AI system architecture that operationalizes responsible AI practices aligned with the business privacy calculus framework.

The challenge often stems from the need for more reliable data for predicting the expected behavior of different groups of donors. Although nonprofits have reliable data relating to past donations from active donors, the data on lapsed donors is limited, and data on prospective donors is nonexistent. We propose that nonprofits can use community-clustered donor profiles to predict the expected donations. Our results validate that predictions based on “actual donation data” and “community donor profiles” are equivalent in accuracy. Drawing insights from the nonprofit marketing and social psychology literature, we suggest that nonprofits can reliably devise targeting strategies for active, lapsed, and prospective donors using community-clustered profiles.

Challenging the focus of the dominant literature on positive experiences, we recognize that liminality can lead to positive outcomes but contribute to the experience literature by first showing how employing liminal spaces can backfire, then analyzing the factors explaining how and when liminality can lead to negative outcomes, and finally identifying how service providers can limit this risk.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15123,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Research","volume":"186 ","pages":"Article 115003"},"PeriodicalIF":10.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142416985","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}

Based on existing literature on teams, resilience, and organizational design and on multi-respondent survey data from 101 creative project-based advertising teams, this paper investigates how two team structural-control mechanisms – centralization and formalization – relate to team resilience, depending on team membership stability. To understand the further performance implications of team resilience, it uses the setting of creative teams to examine how team resilience is associated with team creativity.

Related voluntary payment contexts (e.g., donations) suggest consumers sometimes prefer public observability and other times prefer privacy. We examine how and why tipping privacy affects non-tip responses. A field study and four controlled experiments find that diminished tipping privacy reduces non-tip responses because customers feel less generous and in control. Allowing customers to change initial tip amounts mitigates these detrimental effects. Providing insight into the inconsistent effects of privacy on tips, we find that diminished perceived control increases tip amounts, while diminished perceived generosity reduces tips.
