We identified 28 textual elements and examined whether they affect project success as measured by three different operationalizations.

In addition, both types of market-oriented codevelopment have positive effects on manufacturing suppliers' competitive advantage, namely, innovation, location and internalization.

The case under study is that of the PPE supply chain of the public healthcare and social services sector in the province of Quebec. Interviews with 23 suppliers were the main source of data, which was analyzed through the lens of social capital theory.

This study aimed to examine if situational strength moderates the CF-AP relationship. A sample of 464 workers were recruited. Overall, the research hypothesis was not supported, indicating no moderation effect of situational strength.

Moral outrage arises among frontline employees and mediates the relationship between customer mistreatment and workplace sabotage. The second aim is to address changes in frontline employees' behavioral patterns during working hours. Initial negative workplace behaviors (workplace sabotage) are more likely to shift to good behavior (organizational citizenship behavior toward customer; OCB-customer) due to a need for moral cleansing, but will eventually revert to negative behaviors (additional workplace sabotage) as continuous customer mistreatment increases stress. To understand this process, moral-self regulation theory and the dual process model are introduced to support the conceptual model.
