By analyzing data from publicly listed U.S. pharmaceutical firms between 2011 and 2020 and using an instrumental variables regression, we present evidence that the impact of capital structure on R&D investment varies depending on firm size. Our findings show that firm size plays a critical role in shaping financing decisions to support R&D. Specifically, large and small firms employ different strategies for developing and implementing R&D projects. Our results reveal that R&D investment is negatively (positively) and significantly associated with debt financing (equity financing). Moreover, we show that firm size attenuates the adverse effect of debt financing on R&D investment and accentuates the positive effect of equity financing. Our study provides a refined distinction between debt and equity financing and clarifies the importance of structural characteristics in explaining a firm’s R&D investment decisions. Our study assists policymakers and practitioners in designing effective policies to enhance the understanding of the complex relationship between capital structure decisions and R&D investment.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research suggests that the expression of virtue could be a key to addressing this challenge. The authors examine how employees’ perceptions of virtuous leadership behaviors shape employee engagement. Specifically, this research bridges virtuous leadership theory with employee engagement theory, explicitly focusing on the attitudinal change in employees as they witness leaders intentionally incorporating the classic virtues in workplace interactions. The authors explore through a mixed-method field study with two facilities of a multinational company how virtuous leadership behaviors can shift employee engagement over a 3-year period. Results indicate that after leaders completed a training program on how to enact virtuous leadership behaviors that employee engagement dipped, initially. The reduction in employee engagement was temporary while employees assessed the longevity of the initiative. As leaders continued to practice virtuous leadership behaviors, employee engagement increased significantly beyond the levels before the dip. The findings suggest that engagement may not initially improve while employees are assessing whether leaders will remain committed to virtuous leadership behaviors. However, the findings indicate that the commitment to ongoing practice of virtuous leadership behaviors can create meaningful change in employee engagement.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this presumed relationship appears to be more complex, given the conceptual distance between the cause and the effect. This distance is discernible in the omission of intermediate variables explaining the operation of this relationship, that is, (i) a variable reflecting an intermediate-level output, here board effectiveness and (ii) a variable reflecting the mechanisms that enable production of the output, particularly the board’s strategic use of management accounting information (MAI) deriving from the budget or financial and non-financial performance indicators. This study aims to revisit the link conceptually and empirically between strategic board involvement and organizational performance by simultaneously integrating strategic use of MAI and board effectiveness in an integrative model. Using survey data taken from a sample of 185 board of directors, the results suggest that the strategic use of MAI plays a crucial role, particularly in terms of performance indicators, to cement strategic board involvement and improve board effectiveness and organizational performance.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142208556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study investigated the factors influencing consumers’ intentions to use drone delivery. A theoretical model based on value–belief–norm theory was developed and tested with structural equation modeling based on data collected from 458 Korean consumers. The results suggest that the environmental protection, economic, and altruistic values of drone delivery positively impact consumers’ perceptions of responsibility. In addition, the ascription of responsibility positively influences consumers’ personal norms. Finally, personal norms are found to increase consumers’ intentions to use drone delivery, and the impact is positively moderated by moral obligation. This study employs the extended value–belief–norm (VBN) framework and makes a valuable contribution to the existing body of literature. Furthermore, this study employs the VBN model to ascertain the ecological advantages associated with environmentally sustainable unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Additionally, it provides valuable practical implications for professionals and policymakers in the field.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141945088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, the relationship between entrepreneurial passion (EP) for inventing and entrepreneurial behavior was investigated by exploring the moderating effects of personality as conceptualized by the Big Five Personality Traits. Results provided evidence that the personality traits of conscientiousness, agreeableness, and extraversion moderated the relationship between EP and entrepreneurial behavior. Individuals with a high level of conscientiousness, agreeableness, or extraversion exhibited a higher likelihood of entrepreneurial behaviors. The moderation effect of agreeableness was most pronounced at low levels of EP with this effect dissipating as the level of passion rises to a high level. A significant contribution of this research is a greater understanding as to what characteristics and processes increase the likelihood of a person to undertake entrepreneurial behaviors. Theoretical and practical implications of study findings as well as limitations and future research directions were discussed.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141865601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firms utilize working capital management (WCM) to optimize their operating cash to create firm value. This study focuses on how firms could deploy the WCM approach through receivables, inventories, and payables to maximize long-term and short-term firm performance. It is worth noting that the components in WCM serve different roles in firm performance where shareholders value shorter receivable periods to avoid customer default risk, but firms could benefit from long receivable periods for short-term operation performance. In addition, governments from various countries implemented different policies to reduce adverse economic impacts of the pandemic. The sample includes publicly listed manufacturing companies in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia where different levels of government response have been observed. By using Ordinal Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis and adopting government policy as moderator, the results show that the government actions during the pandemic serve as the mitigating effect in the manufacturing supply chain. The analyses also show that the government policies implemented have successfully supported supply chain resilience during pandemic, especially to loss-making firms from decreased firm value.","PeriodicalId":46142,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GENERAL MANAGEMENT","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141777269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
