Little is known, however, about how management gender diversity is associated with employee productivity at different levels of diversity and the context that might influence this relationship. Integrating the knowledge-based view with role congruity theory, we propose a U-shaped relationship between management gender diversity and employee productivity. As role congruity–related gender stereotypes can be salient in male-majority industries, we advance knowledge by proposing industry gender composition as a key contingency. Building on the integration of theories, we propose that the U-shaped curvilinear relationship will be more pronounced in male-majority industries than in female-majority industries. The predictions were tested using data collected from 248 medium- to large-sized for-profit organizations in Australia via a human resource manager survey and an archival source. The regression results indicate a U-shaped curvilinear relationship across industries and provide the first evidence of a U-shaped curvilinear relationship in male-majority industries and an inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship in female-majority industries. The findings support the integration of the knowledge-based view and role congruity theory, advance knowledge of industry gender composition dynamics, and provide leaders insights into the specific effects of various management gender compositions.

We analyze longitudinal data of Taiwanese firms from 2005 to 2019 in a multilevel mediated-moderation model. Our results indicate that while female directors have a positive impact on employment stability, this effect is attenuated by ultimate owners’ private benefit-seeking control. We also find that this moderating effect can be realized by moderating the mediation process between female directors and employment stability. In addition, we explore the differences between family and non-family firms and consider the issue of critical mass. Overall, our study suggests that the value of a gender-diverse board for employment stability depends on appropriate governance structures.

According to research results, information channels significantly affected investors’ decisions and differed from each other. In addition, the attitudes and intentions towards information channels differ regarding investors’ investment experiences.

For this objective, we apply the enhanced modification of the Diebold and Yilmaz approach for the period 1 January 2010 to 31 January 2023. The empirical findings indicate a modest degree of connectedness among the investigated markets, whereas volatility spillovers showed acceleration during tumultuous periods. In addition, we assess the capacity of private equities for hedging, for the whole sample period and during COVID-19 infectious disease, in order to suggest investors for potential portfolio restructures. Results demonstrate that the short position in the volatility of private equity ETF can result in strong hedging effectiveness for investors holding long positions in Bitcoin, shipping, bonds, and crude oil.

While the past reviews in this area have focused on a limited number of immersive technologies or their application in a sole industry, we holistically analyze and compare the influence of AR, VR, MR, and 3D on consumer behavior across various sectors. We adopt an integrated TCM (Theories, Contexts, and Methods)-ADO (Antecedents, Decisions, and Outcomes) framework to systematically review 129 studies from high-quality academic journals.

Previous literature usually uses a binary variable to measure whether an enterprise participates in Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and rarely study the impact of carbon information disclosure on economic consequences by acquiring all CDP levels manually. And most of these theories are mostly based on developed countries. Based on the whole sample of 1293 Chinese listed companies participating in the CDP from 2016 to 2020, this study employed the oversampling technology to end unbalanced CDP data, then an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to account for time-invariant industry heterogeneity and time trends is employed. The empirical results indicate that the higher the CDP level, the smaller the financing constraints of enterprises. Moreover, the channel analysis indicates that carbon information disclosure is alleviating financing constraints by reducing information asymmetry and enhancing corporate reputation. This study bridges the gap in existing research on alleviating corporate financing constraints through the emerging CDP, which also presents the detailed implications for companies and policy makers.

However, there are significant variations depending on country contexts, and devising strategies to overcome these will require a thorough understanding of the country-specific barriers. While the underrepresentation of women in senior leadership positions has become a burgeoning field of inquiry in recent years, few studies have been conducted to investigate this problem in Vietnam. This qualitative research uses photo elicitation interviews and interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to bridge this gap. It examines six Vietnamese women’s lived experiences as academic leaders and argues that by analysing the metaphors they use, we can extend our understanding of the issues academic women face. In Vietnam, the metaphor of a river that constantly changes represents the careers of women in academia. The study highlights the need to equalise and progressively introduce developmental opportunities to set Vietnamese women up for success in academic leadership. i2i23","PeriodicalId":47209,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44908229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A critical grounded theory approach was applied to identify numerous enablers and barriers for TGD employees. Further analysis identified three impact areas of managers: building an inclusive organisational infrastructure, fostering a safe psychological environment and supporting diverse impression-fit management. The three managerial areas provide practical recommendations concerning language use, leadership style, work practices and arrangements that should be considered for increasing TGD workplace inclusion.
