Cohousing communities are neighborhoods that are created and managed by residents, offering shared spaces and communal living to foster a sense of community and well-being. This study is based on comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on cooperatives and cohousing. The study describes the development of this research area, highlights key themes, explores interconnections, and creates knowledge on how this field has evolved. The analysis consists of examining bibliographic coupling, co-citations, and keyword co-occurrence in documents published in the Web of Science (WoS) from 1996 to 2024. The study identifies prominent themes, influential authors, and emerging trends. The findings contribute to the research on sustainable development and community-driven initiatives, offering insights into how cooperatives and cohousing can provide viable solutions to contemporary societal issues. The results reveal five main categories of future research on cohousing cooperatives: (i) Management and collaboration, (ii) Knowledge and dynamic capabilities, (iii) Innovation and technology, (iv) Trust and leadership, and (v) Strategies, organization, and sustainability. Within these categories, 17 future research directions can provide insight to support policies and practices that enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of cohousing cooperatives. This analysis advances the current understanding of how collective action and shared living arrangements can contribute to more resilient and equitable communities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"10 1","pages":"Article 100647"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, we investigated the moderating role of several school-context variables (school size, school location [rural or urban], student poverty, and school type). We used data from a random sample of 295 schools in Chile, estimated structural equation models, applied response surface analysis, and employed machine learning. The results showed that a high integration of exploration and exploitation, and hence ambidexterity, was significantly related to student achievement. In high-poverty schools, a focus on acquiring new knowledge and exploring innovations can function as a catalyst for reducing the achievement gap.

The literature review revealed that CCIs can significantly promote social innovation through cultural engagement, particularly when they collaborate with various stakeholders.

Some argue that partnerships with businesses or academic institutions are essential for creating ‘heterogeneous sources of knowledge’ (HSK). Others contend that collaboration between government entities and local authorities is vital for fostering regional and local development. The third perspective introduces the notion of ‘entrepreneurial co-creation’, suggesting that CCIs work alongside stakeholders with technical and managerial expertise.

However, it is not clear which innovative strategies should be implemented first on how to optimize digital twin technologies for sustainable smart cities. The main performance indicators should be identified to use the limited resources more efficiently and to generate more effective investment strategies. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to generate innovative approaches to green digital twin technologies of sustainable smart cities. To achieve this issue, first, important criteria of digital twin technologies for assessing sustainable smart cities are weighted via spherical fuzzy simple weight calculation (SIWEC). The second part includes ranking innovative alternatives for green digital twin technologies by considering spherical fuzzy simple additive weighting (SAW). The main contribution of this manuscript is to identify the most effective investment strategies for the improvements of digital twin technologies to reach smart cities by establishing a novel model. The preference of the SIWEC method in the criteria weighting process provides some advantages to the model. The most important feature of this method is that the direct importance of the criterion is taken into consideration in the questions asked to the experts. In this way, it is possible for the experts to give more sensitive answers. The findings indicate that smart grid integration (weight: 0.231) is determined as the most important criterion in the development of digital twin technologies for the provision of smart cities. Circular economy (weight: 0.230) is another variable that plays an important role in the provision of smart cities. On the other hand, decentralized energy system with microgrids is found as the most important alternative for this situation. Some critical actions should be taken to improve the smart grid effectiveness. In this scope, providing renewable energy incentives has a strong influence on the improvements of these projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"10 1","pages":"Article 100651"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142968068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Empirical evidence suggests that: 1) Being regarded as receiving assistance from an organization has a significant negative impact on social loafing. 2) Self-efficacy partially mediates the influence of perceived organizational support on social loafing. 3) As the level of person-organization fit grows, the mediating influence of self-efficacy becomes more pronounced. 4) Entrepreneurial bricolage offers a novel hypothesis to explain the hindrance of perceived organizational support on workers' engaging in social loafing. 5) An organizational justice environment effectively controls the impact of perceived organizational support on workers' entrepreneurial bricolage.
