We also examine the mediating role of emotional exhaustion and moderating role of core self-evaluation (CSE) in this process. Using multi-source, time-lagged data (<i>N</i> = 203) collected from employee-supervisor dyads, this study pinpoints an important reason why employees experience of challenge and hindrance stressor invoke differential effects on their ability to meet work-related deadlines is that they feel emotionally exhaustion when faced with stressful work demands. However, employees with high CSE can control themselves in these uncertain situations such that the indirect effects of challenge-hindrance stressors on timely completion of work tasks, via exhaustion, are less salient for them. The study implications suggest that HR managers and decision makers need to openly communicate the risks and challenges associated with the work demands so that employees can appraise these tasks as either challenging or hindrance. Moreover, involving employees with high levels of CSE would further increase the chances that employees will complete their work tasks on time.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"42 1","pages":"110-124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689701","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}

Across six studies, our research shows that high vulnerability aggravates the anecdotal bias instead of reducing it. Study 1 provides preliminary evidence that high vulnerability exacerbates the anecdotal bias among individuals seeking decision-relevant information in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies 2A and 2B demonstrate that high vulnerability intensifies the anecdotal bias in different decision contexts. Study 3 replicates these findings and identifies negative emotional arousal as a key mechanism underlying this effect. Study 4 examines the moderating role of personal relevance, showing that when individuals make decisions for others (vs. themselves), high vulnerability does not lead to the anecdotal bias. Moreover, it is cognitive disruption and intuitive thinking caused by negative emotional arousal that increases reliance on anecdotal (vs. statistical) information. Finally, Study 5 demonstrates the moderating effect of mindfulness meditation, highlighting its role as a preemptive safeguard against this biased behavior.

We present a critical and historical perspective on the role of colonial subjugation that took the form of discriminatory policies and lack of accountability, in laying the foundations for the current challenges of continuous informalization of the indigenous gold mining sector and its implications on livelihoods, the economy and the environment in Ghana. We analyzed archival data on the mining industry in Ghana, consisting of official correspondences between colonial bureaucrats in Britain and Ghana, as well as colonial policies on mining, interpreted through the lenses of institutional theory. Specifically, we used records comprising letters, mineral policies, mineral output, and labor relations in the Gold Coast during the colonial period as well as minutes of meetings held by those governing mining enterprises that operated in Ghana before 1957. We also drew on periodic reports of the Ghana Chamber of Mines and their member enterprises, Government of Ghana white papers, parliamentary records among others. We found that the colonial authority, as the new institutional power with vested interest in the extractive industry, adopted discriminatory policies that banned small-scale gold mining by indigenous population in Ghana, marginalizing the sector's operation to the advantage of foreign large-scale gold miners. We demonstrate that the control of mineral resources by the colonial authority under new ownership structures disenfranchised the indigenous population and their right to the mineral resources of the Gold Coast. We argue that this institutionalized discriminatory policy, and the resulting lack of accountability is largely responsible for the ongoing informalization of Ghana's small-scale gold mining sector. This paper contributes to the corpus of critical and historical scholarship that investigates the role of racialization and accountability during colonial period, but with notable distinction that departs from specific professional or disciplinary perspectives. Instead, it focuses on the colonial subjugation and exploitation of the small-scale gold mining sector and its ongoing informalization that traces its roots to the era of British colonial rule in Ghana. It reiterates the need for accountability for these historical inequalities affecting the small-scale mining operators, to facilitate the sector's formalization and to effectively control and manage the myriads of negative impacts associated with it.</p>","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"42 1","pages":"144-159"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjas.1762","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, it remains somewhat cryptic, mainly due to limitations in terms of analytical frameworks, theoretical constructs, and methodological designs, as well as the absence of an approach that integrates the importance of contingencies. Thus, a systematic literature review at the junction of the highest strategic body (i.e., board of directors) and one of the most strategic organizational outcomes (i.e., innovation) proves to be an opportune exercise both from a scientific and practical perspective. Ultimately, the approach adopted in this study has led to the emergence of an integrative conceptual framework from a contingency perspective and various observations that dissect the impact of the board of directors on innovation based on a corpus of 114 articles published over a period of 33 years.
