It can help researchers polish text, debug code, translate text, and support deductive coding under human supervision. But it can also produce fluent, competent-looking content that no one is positioned to defend. Journal and publisher policies have largely responded to AI through prohibition, mandatory disclosure, or validity-only permissiveness. Each regulates AI use in the production of manuscripts rather than the defensibility of scholarly claims, leaving the central accountability problem intact. We argue that the right unit of governance is the claim, not the tool. Responsible research with AI requires a named human who can reconstruct and defend each claim that enters the scholarly record. We develop a two-threshold framework, in which the confidentiality threshold protects entrusted material in peer review and editorial deliberation, while the judgment threshold protects human responsibility for the reasoning behind scholarly claims. We then translate the framework into role-based self-assessment for authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers, and identify the institutional anchors that prevent it from decaying into boilerplate. AI is the stress test of scholarly publishing. It has exposed weaknesses in how we evaluate, produce, and protect knowledge, and no gain in efficiency justifies a published claim that no human can defend.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"44 4","pages":"Pages 550-556"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148710116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our two-wave empirical study found that among the diffusion attributes, relative advantage, compatibility, and observability increased adoption intentions. However, unlike previous research on innovation adoption, we found that complexity did not directly impact adoption intentions. More importantly, the moderation effects revealed that the relationship between relative advantage and adoption intentions was stronger for neurotic individuals but weaker for conscientious ones. Similarly, the relationship between compatibility and adoption intentions was stronger for introverted and conscientious individuals. The relationship between observability and adoption intentions was weaker for neurotic individuals. Finally, while complexity did not directly affect adoption intentions, people with low neuroticism were less likely to adopt CCWS when they found it complex.

Our results demonstrate that this deliberate strategic practice of action planning, which functions as a mediating mechanism, is contingent on nascent entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy and risk-taking propensity. The results show that when passionate nascent founders feel sufficiently knowledgeable and skilled to start a new business, they will develop significantly more specific action plans to engage in new venture creation behavior. Finally, our results show that the willingness to take entrepreneurial risks moderates the extent to which action plans to start up will be effectively converted into actual engagement in new venture creation behavior.

Building on these extant studies, this paper focuses on the lived-experience dimension of organisational spaces. Based on a rich case study of collaborations involving both informal sector and formal sector strategic actors, we demonstrate that strategic actors respond to and navigate distinct but tightly coupled organisational spaces in their mobilisation of materiality for accomplishing strategy work. Our findings show that a set of individual and group-level frames of reference and meaning-making mechanisms underlie mobilisation practices that may be motivated by both personal and business objectives. We offer a conceptual framework for explaining how strategic actors, embedded within disparate organisational spaces, accomplish strategy work by mobilising everyday organisational space-conditioned material artefacts.

Results of an inductive qualitative study<span> with 43 workers from a high-context Chinese culture suggest that high-context communicators often struggle with digital voice because it imperfectly provides the context needed to guide their usual high-context communication. Given these concerns, high-context communicators develop five self-censorship strategies to accommodate their digital voice. High-context communicators may opt to not express digital voice at all or to express digital voice with diplomatic language so that the expressed digital voice is carefully crafted to be relationally noncontroversial, linguistically terse, or associatively vague. Findings suggest that digital voice is mentally taxing for high-context communicators while documenting the interplay of employee voice, communication technology, and culturally bound communication norms.</span></div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"44 4","pages":"Pages 557-568"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148710117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study draws on the conservation of resources theory to clarify how career plateaus are positively related to work alienation, which impairs task performance; however, implementing strategies that increase challenging demands and decrease hindering demands may reverse this effect. The data referenced in this study were drawn from paired questionnaires completed by supervisor–subordinate dyads who were recruited from Taiwanese workplaces; a total of 728 pairs of questionnaires were ultimately collected across three stages that were separated by four-week intervals. Both types of plateaus were observed to have indirect effects on task performance via work alienation. Moreover, the mediated effects of hierarchical plateaus on task performance were, in turn, moderated by the strategy of increasing challenging demands; in contrast, the mediated effects of the job content plateau on task performance were not impacted by the strategy of decreasing hindering demands.
