Given that debt quality has a high influence on the cost of debt, this paper examines how the cost of debt (bond yield spread) is influenced by a firm's board connectedness while considering the effect that debt quality (bond ratings) may have on such a relationship. Results show that the relationship between connectedness and the cost of debt is highly dependent on debt quality, where connectedness is associated with a <i>lower</i> cost of debt if debt quality is high; however, connectedness is also associated with a <i>higher</i> cost of debt if debt quality is low. We also note that as the debt quality for connected firms decreases as their cost of debt increases. We are contributing to administrative sciences by studying one of its key elements: governance, more specifically the connectivity of boards of directors. This contributes to the current debate on the effect of board connectivity: prior research has not provided conclusive results, and we show that the effect is different based on the characteristics of the firm's debt.</p>","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"41 2","pages":"212-231"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjas.1736","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135803214","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}

The results indicate that workplace ostracism is positively associated with employees' turnover intentions. Moreover, this relationship is mediated by job insecurity and is stronger when coaching leadership is low.

Thus, the objective of the rebound of the entrepreneur is part of the reforms of the law of companies in difficulty for several years: introduction of professional recovery leading to the cancellation of debts, acceleration of the judicial liquidation procedure, limitation of the scope of the guarantees offered to creditors and reduction of the weight of sanctions. Beyond the measures, the evolution of the law of companies in difficulty reflects a real mutation in the French perception of entrepreneurial failure. A paradigm shift is taking place where the culture of failure gradually gives way to a culture of rebound, so that the entrepreneur can be entitled to a \"second chance\". The article focuses on the legal mechanisms of the rebound of the individual entrepreneur after a judicial liquidation under French law. The objective is to demonstrate that a paradigm shift is taking place where the culture of failure is gradually giving way to a culture of rebound. If the change has appeared for 30 years, it appears more blatantly for 3 years, whether in European or French law. However, many economic stigmas persist, such as indicators in the banking file of companies or data on judicial liquidation that remain publicly available. In order to promote the rebound of the entrepreneur, we propose in particular the establishment of a right to be forgotten.</p>","PeriodicalId":47349,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Administrative Sciences-Revue Canadienne Des Sciences De L Administration","volume":"40 4","pages":"474-483"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cjas.1727","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125999186","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}
