Virtual influencers, powered by artificial intelligence, now engage audiences in ways that closely mimic human influencers, driving growing interest in their comparative endorsement effectiveness. However, existing research offers mixed and inconclusive results. This study explores the crucial role of physical attractiveness in shaping influencer effectiveness and examines how it moderates the impact of influencer type on product attitudes. Our findings show that parasocial interaction partially mediates the relationship between influencer type and product attitude, with both direct and indirect effects influenced by perceived attractiveness. Although human influencers excel at building authenticity and personal connections, these advantages diminish when attractiveness is considered. When influencers are perceived as highly attractive, the distinction between virtual and human influencers becomes negligible, with both types eliciting similarly positive product attitudes. These insights suggest that marketers using virtual influencers should ensure their appearance aligns with the audience's beauty standards. Additionally, they should emphasize the pressure on human influencers to uphold ideal appearances—an aspect that virtual influencers can easily optimize. This research offers valuable guidance for brands seeking to balance virtual and human influencers for maximum impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"30 2","pages":"Article 100359"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143550560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It seeks to determine the major determinants of employee performance in family firms, as well as how these factors are interrelated in creating sustainable performance. The study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design. Data collection was done via Google Forms from 250 full-time family-firm employees. A structural equation modeling analysis was performed using Smart PLS 4 software. The results show that job satisfaction, transformational leadership style, motivation, work environment, and compensation substantially impact employee performance. Notably, the work environment serves as a moderator that enhances the connection between employee performance, job satisfaction, and leadership style. In addition, job satisfaction emerges as the most significant variable affecting employee performance. The study reveals that transformational leadership, motivation, and good compensation can improve family firm job satisfaction and employee performance. Additionally, a supportive work environment plays an important role in strengthening the influence of these variables on employee performance. To achieve sustainable performance, family firms should prioritize improving human resource policies and fostering a conducive work environment. This study adds to the body of knowledge regarding employee performance in family business and provides practical implications for managers in managing employees through appropriate leadership and compensation policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"30 2","pages":"Article 100340"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on incongruity theory and the consumption values framework, it examines the impact of self-mockery on purchase intentions. By evoking perceptions of surprise, novelty, and credibility, self-mockery serves as a unique advertising strategy to shape consumer value perception and decision-making. A total of 295 participants were randomly assigned to a scenario-based experimental study using a between-subjects factorial design with one factor (self-mockery: present vs. absent). The results demonstrate that self-mockery enhances the appeal of flawed products by increasing perceptions of surprise, novelty, and credibility, which positively affect functional, emotional, and epistemic consumption values. These shifts improve consumers’ purchase intentions for aesthetically flawed products. The study contributes to the literature on self-mockery in advertising by clarifying its role as a form of humor through the lens of consumption values and incongruity theory. It identifies the psychological mechanisms that drive consumer responses to unexpected situations. Additionally, the findings provide practical insights for marketers, demonstrating how self-mockery can be used to create impactful advertising that repositions aesthetically flawed products, enabling brands to deviate from traditional beauty standards while fostering greater consumer acceptance. Finally, the study offers valuable insights for consumers participating in re-commerce and second-hand markets, highlighting how these practices not only support individual transactions but also drive the overall growth of re-commerce, promote sustainability by extending product lifecycles, reduce waste, and ultimately benefit society as a whole.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46001,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Management Review","volume":"30 2","pages":"Article 100344"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To check the impact of mediator GI and the moderation mechanism of ESTR in the suggested model, we gathered data from the Pakistan automobile sector using convenience sampling and analysed it through structural equation modelling. Our data collection process received 306 responses out of 344 employees, representing an impressive 88% response rate. The results indicate that GHRM plays a pivotal role in shaping PEB. GI also plays a mediating role in the relationship between GHRM and PEB. Moreover, ESTR moderates the relationship between GI and PEB. The present study's findings emphasise that the presence and effective implementation of GHRM practices are positively correlated with employees' PEB. When companies actively encourage their workforce to GI to improve the environment, employees are more likely to adopt green behaviours such as PEBs. Our research highlights the potential role of GI and ESTR in helping to promote PEB. When companies adopt GI and comprehensive ESTRs in response to GHRM practices, they signal a commitment to environmental sustainability, which can inspire employees to align their behaviours with these values.
