The use of this key marketing strategy is growing around the world. The present study aimed to explore the effects of endorser credibility and endorser congruence on CBBE while considering the mediating role of congruence and the moderating role of brand type (strong/weak). The statistical population and sampling method of the study is the buyers of megamalls in Tehran and simple random sampling respectively. Totally, 186 questionnaires were completed. The data analysis and structural equation modeling approach in SmartPLS software was used to test the hypotheses. The results of the hypothesis tests showed that celebrity endorser’s credibility had a significant positive effect on endorser congruence and CBBE. In addition, endorser congruence had a positive impact on CBBE. The findings reveal that in the statistical sample of the present study, the effect of the variable celebrity endorser on congruence and CBBE did not differ from the perspective of brand type (strong/weak) and that this variable had a positive and significant effect on paths between ‘celebrity credibility-celebrity congruence’ and ‘celebrity credibility-CBBE’. From these findings, important theoretical and managerial implications have been derived.","PeriodicalId":51913,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Management Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49024537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the gaps in previous research in this field is the failure to pay attention to different criteria and strategic paths in advancing innovative ideas from various fields. This research introduced a strategy for advancing innovative ideas and identifying the strategic drivers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in various technological fields. The indicators were derived from the literature review and expert interviews, and they were chosen using a checklist and interviews to determine their relationships. The fuzzy cognitive map in question was then created using the FCMapper software. Strategic driver indicators were identified as in advancing innovative ideas. Thus, it is recommended that idea developers consider these indicators when presenting ideas and that experts and investors consider them when evaluating innovative ideas. According to the findings, The Science and Technology Park and its ten active fields each have their own strategic paths for advancing innovative ideas.","PeriodicalId":51913,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Management Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44905799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, managers strive to satisfy their employees, and for this purpose, they must be aware of the needs of their employees and the conditions of the organization. In such a situation, the positive voice behavior of employees is very important for managers because, accordingly, their awareness increases. Therefore, it is important to know the factors that can cause this behavior. Since, according to previous studies, employee relaxation is a factor influencing employees' voice behavior, and the presence of managers with psychological skills can create the psychological calm for employees, in this study, the effectiveness of leadership psychological skills on employee voice behavior is examined. Also, because employee work engagement is affected by management's psychological skills and affects employee voice behavior, the mediating role of employee work engagement in the relationship between leadership psychological skills and employee voice behavior was discussed. To achieve the research goals, the numbers of 310 employees of companies active in Iran's food industry were considered as samples.","PeriodicalId":51913,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Management Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41996375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The internet is an essential tool for doing online shopping. Despite the importance and popularity of online shopping, most Nigerian consumers largely depend on conventional shopping rather than online shopping due to their resistance to online shopping habits. In Nigeria, few studies have examined advertising, social media and online risk on online shopping habit. Thus, the study aims to investigate the mediating role of advertising on the relationship between social media and online risk on online shopping habits in Nigeria. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 375 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse and evaluate the hypotheses. The results show that online risk had an insignificant direct effect on online shopping habits. Again, the study result shows that social media has a statistically significant direct effect on online shopping. While advertising mediates the relationship between online risk and online shopping habits, it mediates the relationship between social media and online shopping habits.","PeriodicalId":51913,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Management Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44713983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bibliometrix and VOSviewer were selected as software tools for descriptive and network bibliometric analysis based on the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2011 till 2020. By implementing bibliometric analysis such as analysis of citations and co-occurrence of keywords, we have recognized the most prominent and influential authors, papers, journals, countries, and four potential clusters of current trends in studies. These four trends of value creation and capture from big data studies are: 1) strengthening the basic knowledge of value creation in the big data era, 2) data-driven business model and value capturing, 3) dynamic capabilities and centrality of knowledge, and 4) digital transformation of the service industry.

This study uses panel data analysis to test hypotheses for a sample of 108 firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2016-2020. Our empirical results show a positive relationship between accounting comparability with free float ratio and stock turnover ratio. But there is no significant relationship between accounting comparability and the Amihud ratio. The interpretation of this result can be attributed to how the Amihud ratio is calculated. Based on the constraints imposed on the Iranian capital market, the daily return in calculating the Amihud ratio has a certain fluctuation range and is not able to reflect all the dimensions of the market. In addition, our results document a positive relation between accounting comparability and firm value. Finally, accounting comparability does not moderate the association between stock liquidity and firm value. In addition, the cost of capital (CoC) intensifies the relationship between accounting comparability and firm value. We interpret these results as accounting comparability improves transparency, and reduces information asymmetry. These results also show that the capital market is incomplete.","PeriodicalId":51913,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Management Studies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46131852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study examined the relationships among these variables and firm performance, considering international environmental hostility (IEH) as a moderator, in a model using data from 154 tourism and travel firms in Iran as an emerging market. The results reveal a significant association between each of MOC and AI with firm performance, in which IEH significantly moderates these relationships. Also, their co-effect negatively influences the firm performance, which indicates a weak relation between MOC and AI in these SMEs.
