PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide meaningful information about sponsorship management in state-owned enterprises.Design/methodology/approachQualitative and quantitative data from Germany are analyzed in a case study approach using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (Fs/QCA)—an analytic method relevant for describing configurational patterns of causal factors.FindingsThe case study of sponsorships from state-owned enterprises in Germany reveals four alternative configurations of top-management support, sponsee prominence, standardized processes, and sponsorship leverage explaining sponsor satisfaction.Originality/valueThe paper combines two underrepresented but important aspects of sponsorship research, i.e. sponsorship management in state-owned enterprises, in an empirical study. Further, present study adds to sponsorship literature by pointing to fuzzy-set Fs/QCA as a relatively novel method that can capture the phenomenon of complex causality.

Full textAbstract:
The paper explores the use of Charles Ragin's Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) in both its crisp and fuzzy set versions in the study of the relations between social class origin, sex, ‘ability’ and subsequent educational achievement. The work reported is part of a larger ongoing project which is employing QCA to compare these relations within two birth cohorts. Here data are used from the British National Child Development Study, i.e. from children born in 1958. The paper has a methodological focus, bringing out the strengths but also the difficulties that arise when employing QCA with a large dataset of this type. In particular, the problem of calibrating membership in fuzzy sets in a context where detailed case knowledge is not available is illustrated. It is also shown how the use of gradually increasing thresholds with Ragin's fs/QCA software can bring out the relative importance of various factors in accounting for achievement. The QCA-based analysis suggests that the processes of educational attainment can, at best, only be seen as partly falling under a ‘meritocratic’ description. It is also hoped that this paper will serve as a useful introduction to the potential of QCA for readers not yet familiar with it.

Purpose: This study investigated the simultaneous impact of conditions on employee's job satisfaction in Polish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Methodology: This study used the survey technique to better understand the determinants of job satisfaction the fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA) was preferred. Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a widely used method in the field of political science and sociology. In recent years, the use of the fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA) in business and management research has also increased.
Result: The results of our empirical study contribute to research on job satisfaction by presenting several conditions that create constellations affecting employee job satisfaction in Polish SMEs. The results certify previous research on employee satisfaction, exploring the important factors such as: organizational identification, co-workers support, rewards, supervisor relationship and quality of work life. It is worth noting that our research contributes to different constellations lead to job satisfaction by investigating the effect of all of selected conditions simultaneously.
Applications: This finding can be useful for small and medium enterprises to enhance employee job satisfaction, which in turn translates into the results of the entire organization.
Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of conditions affecting employee job satisfaction in polish SMEs, a qualitative comparative analysis is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores whether young people’s propensity to take responsibility for the environment—and, consequently, to make pro-environment consumption choices—is negatively affected by living in a condition of social exclusion, such that of NEETs (i.e., Not in Education, Employment or Training). By adopting a mix of comparative methods, we used the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fs-QCA) to compare European countries to find which configurations of types of NEET can be associated with different levels of perceived individual environmental responsibility. In addition, we implemented a mediation model by using Generalized Structural Equation Modeling (GSEM) estimation, to find whether the association between the NEET condition and the level of perceived environmental responsibility is mediated by individual happiness—as a proxy of social exclusion’s consequences on the individual’s well-being. Fs-QCA results are integrated at the micro level to test context-related variation. Data come from the 2016 European Social Survey, the 2016 Eurofound report, and the 2018 Italian Youth Report. We found that the presence of more vulnerable NEETs is associated with lower levels of perceived environmental responsibility. At the micro level, only in some countries does the condition of NEET lead to attribute environmental responsibility to the institutions, rather than to the single individual, and it seems related to a general lower well-being.

External interventions are one of the most important aspects of intrastate conflicts since a majority of them are significantly internationalised, especially in Africa where the interventions most often occur. Factors that lead to the military intervention remain, however, puzzling. The authors therefore apply the method of fs/QCA to understand not only conditionsbehind intervention into African intrastate conflicts, but also to catch interactions among them. The results show high complexity of various possible combinations, mainly of high intensity, massive social dislocation or presence of raw materials in case of interventions in African internal conflicts

Purpose: the purpose of this article is to examine how different factors, such as: person organization fit, supervisor support, rewards, organizational commitment and work engagement simultaneously affect the employee job satisfaction in project-based organization. Design/methodology/approach: This research applies fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA). The sample of the study includes 17 cases of Polish consulting firms, and the fieldwork contains information from series of surveys. The survey includes five scales (person organization fit, supervisor support, rewards, organizational commitment and work engagement) in the form of statements to which respondents indicate their level of agreement/disagreement on a five-point Likert scale. Findings: empirical research indicated the configurations of factors which lead to job satisfaction in PBO, pecially, (C1): person organization fit, supervisor support and 16 organizational commitment and (C2): rewards, organizational commitment and work engagement with absence of supervisor support and (C3): person organization fit, rewards and work engagement influence job satisfaction in project-based organization. Research limitations/implications: the first limitation relates to the data source – the data in this study come from a limited research sample-consulting firms. Second, this study considered and examined few factors of job satisfaction selected based on critical analysis of the literature and future studies could include other variables. Practical implications: the results of research have practical implications for managers of project-based organization, because they provide them with configuration of factors which lead to job satisfaction. Originality/value: using of fs/QCA, which enabled simultaneous studying the effect of selected factors and it is an original contribution to the research on job satisfaction in PBO.

A construção civil busca maior eficiência nas operações e componentes de elevação através da inserção de novas técnicas, novos processos e equipamentos, impulsionada, principalmente, pela necessidade de redução de custos e aumento na produtividade nos canteiros de obras. No entanto as mudanças tecnológicas podem ter custos significativos para os contratantes e implicações para a saúde dos trabalhadores. Visando propor novas abordagens e uma análise dos riscos, através da medição dos agentes causadores de acidentes no trabalho, este estudo avaliou a técnica Fuzzy Sets QCA (fs/QCA) como instrumento para estabelecer relações entre as variáveis – percepção dos técnicos de segurança do trabalho e a conformidade dos equipamentos de movimentação de carga nos canteiros de obras. Foram adotados diferentes procedimentos de pesquisa e a amostra em estudo se refere aos canteiros de obras na Região Metropolitana de Salvador. A pesquisa de campo teve como intuito identificar as situações de risco e boas práticas durante a execução da atividade de movimentação de carga nos canteiros de obras; o levantamento através da aplicação de lista de verificação em 10 canteiros de obras buscou avaliar os equipamentos de movimentação de carga usuais e a conformidade nos canteiros de obras em relação à NR 18. Após a aplicação da lista foi elaborado um novo instrumento de pesquisa – questionário aplicado em conjunto com a lista de verificação em 08 novos canteiros, buscando investigar a percepção dos técnicos de segurança do trabalho em relação aos constructos (cultura de segurança, fator humano, manutenção, treinamento e arranjo físico), bem como a sua relação com a conformidade dos equipamentos de movimentação de carga nos canteiros de obras. Quanto aos principais resultados desta pesquisa, pode-se destacar a necessidade de acompanhamento no recebimento e montagem dos equipamentos de movimentação de carga, uma vez que grande parte dos acidentes ocorridos nos canteiros de obras é proveniente da insuficiência da manutenção periódica dos equipamentos. É possível destacar também a existência de lacunas quanto aos aspectos que podem influenciar na segurança, tais como a compreensão da importância do fator humano e do arranjo físico para os canteiros de obras. Por fim, espera-se que este trabalho colabore como uma ferramenta auxiliar na gestão da segurança do trabalho em canteiros de obras e que o texto ofereça um ponto de partida metodológico para futuras pesquisas quanto à adoção da técnica fs/QCA

Les implications financières pour les acheteurs dans les fusions et acquisitions (F & A) ont été un sujet de fascination pour les chercheurs et les praticiens pendant des décennies. Malgré des recherches académique et commerciales approfondies visant à déterminer si et comment les acquéreurs obtiennent des résultats financiers à court et à long terme à la suite des fusions et acquisitions, la clarté de notre compréhension de ces questions demeure difficile à déterminer. Cette thèse de doctorat cherche à apporter plus de clarté à ces questions en examinant les interactions complexes entre plusieurs aspects clés des fusions et acquisitions. Le chapitre 1 examine comment l’expérience des acquéreurs influe sur le rendement à long terme au moyen de décisions clés avant et après la transaction et comment cette influence indirecte diffère dans les contextes nationaux et transfrontaliers. Le chapitre 2 explore les configurations des caractéristiques des transactions et des acquéreurs ainsi que les mécanismes de gouvernance d’entreprise des acquéreurs correspondant aux rendements anormaux cumulés des acquéreurs positifs (CAR). Le chapitre 3 étudie les effets interactifs entre les institutions formelles des pays d’accueil, les caractéristiques des acquéreurs et les mécanismes de gouvernance d’entreprise de l’acquéreur CAR. Enfin, le chapitre 4 examine l’influence des reportages d’affaires sur l’acquéreur CARFinancial implications for buyers in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been a topic of fascination with academics and practitioners for decades. Despite extensive business research dedicated toward investigating whether and how acquirers perform financially in the short and long terms following M&A, so far, the clarity of our understanding about these issues remains elusive. This doctoral thesis seeks to bring more clarity to these questions by examining complex interactions among several key aspects of M&A. Chapter 1 investigates how acquirer experience influences long-term performance through key pre- and post-transaction decisions and how such indirect influence differs in domestic and cross-border contexts. Chapter 2 explores the configurations of deal and acquirer characteristics as well as acquirer corporate governance mechanisms corresponding to positive acquirer cumulative abnormal returns (CAR). Chapter 3 investigates the interactive effects among host countries’ formal institutions, acquirer characteristics and corporate governance mechanisms on acquirer CAR. Finally, Chapter 4 examines the influence of business news reports on acquirer CAR

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an attempt to capture ethnic grievances in relations with regime type and secession. The unit of analysis is Yugoslavia on a regional level; Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia and Vojvodina. Conditions within these units are traced by applying thorough case-studies and fs/QCA. The truth table solution provided by the fuzzy-sets analysis support that ethnic grievances can determine civil war when appearing together with anocracy as a regime type, and with secession. This would support a claim that studies of civil war and ethnicity should aim to capture the political context in which ethnic grievances appear rather than to base the research on measures of the size of the ethnic groups or degree of diversity.

Mestrado em Gestão de Recursos HumanosO conhecimento é, no contexto socioeconómico atual, o recurso mais valorizado pelas organizações, sendo essencial para garantir vantagem competitiva sustentada. A gestão deste recurso é levada a cabo pela disciplina da gestão do conhecimento que engloba quatro fases distintas: a criação, a armazenagem, a partilha e a utilização do conhecimento. O presente estudo é focado na terceira fase deste processo ? a partilha ? que é essencial para uma boa gestão das organizações. O presente estudo tem igualmente um foco no setor religioso, pois não existe ainda, do ponto de vista teórico e de gestão, uma teoria compreensiva das organizações religiosas, sendo que o seu estudo é relevante para a gestão. Desta forma, o presente estudo aborda a temática da partilha de conhecimento no setor religioso, tendo como principal objetivo entender como se partilha o conhecimento nas organizações religiosas. Para tal, foram selecionadas as condições Votos, Rituais, Significado e Comunidade, correspondendo as três últimas aos três níveis da teoria da cultura organizacional de Schein, uma vez que a cultura organizacional pode facilitar ou inibir a partilha de conhecimento nas organizações. Os dados das condições selecionadas foram recolhidos através da aplicação de um inquérito por questionário, e posteriormente analisados recorrendo ao software fs/QCA (fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis), que permite, mesmo com amostras reduzidas, identificar configurações causais que expliquem um determinado resultado. Os resultados obtidos apresentam configurações causais para todas as partilhas de conhecimento (total, explícito e tácito).
Knowledge is, in the current socioeconomic setting, the most valued resource by organizations, being essential to guarantee sustained competitive advantage. The management of this resource is carried out by the knowledge management discipline, which includes four distinct phases: the creation, storage, sharing and use of knowledge. The current study is focused on the third phase of this process - sharing - which is essential for a good organization management. The current study has an equal focus on the religious sector, as there still isn't, from the theoretical and management viewpoint, a comprehensive theory of religious organizations, so that from a managerial point of view, it is relevant to study them. Thus, the current study addresses knowledge sharing in the religious sector, having the main goal to understand how knowledge is shared in religious organizations. For such, the conditions Vows, Rituals, Meaning and Community were selected. The last three correspond to Schein's organizational culture theory three levels, considering organizational culture can facilitate, or inhibit, knowledge sharing in organizations. The conditions' data were gathered through the application of a questionnaire survey, and posteriorly analyzed using the fs/QCA (fuzzy sets Qualitative Comparative Analysis) software, which allows, even with small samples, to identify causal configurations that explain a certain result. The results obtained display causal configurations for every single knowledge sharing (total, explicit and tacit).

Full textAbstract:
The return of Māori land to a productive role in the New Economy entails the innovation and diffusion of technologies relevant to the sustainable development of this land. Sustainable development requires substantive changes to current land and resource use to mitigate environmental degradation and contribute to ecological and sociological resilience. Such innovation is emerging in 'New Economic Space' where concerns for cultural resilience have arisen as political-economic strategies of the New Economy converge within a global economic space. New Economic Space comprises policy, technology and institutional innovations that attempt to influence economic activity, thus directly engaging with local 'place-based' expressions of geohistorically unique knowledge and identity. This thesis approaches contemporary Māori development from three perspectives. First, by viewing the changing links between ecosystems and communities as examples of innovation diffusion, the evolution of relevant policies, technologies and institutions can be examined for their impact upon Māori resilience. Second, such innovation diffusion can be described as a form of regional development, acknowledging the integral role of traditional territories in Māori identity and culture as well as the distinct legislative and governance contexts by which this land is developed. Third, by incorporating the geohistorical uniqueness of Māori ideas, values and beliefs, standard concepts of political-economy can be reformulated to show an explicit cultural economy – Māori Traditional Economic Space – in which Māori horticulturalists participate in parallel with the New Economy. Two methods are used in the analysis of the participation by Māori horticulturalists in New Economic Space. Fuzzy set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA) allows the rigorous investigation of small-N studies of limited diversity for their partial membership in nominated sets. This thesis uses fs/QCA to organise theoretical and substantive knowledge of each case study to score its membership in agri-food networks, Māori institutions and post-production strategies, allowing the identification of causal configurations that lead to greater resilience for Māori growers and their communities. The second method is Actor-Network Theory (ANT) that incorporates elements of nature and society, showing the extensive and dynamic entwinement that exists between the two. ANT describes the enrolment of diverse 'actants' by a range of eco-social institutions and the subsequent translation of the resulting assemblages into resilience strategies. The results of this research first show a 'System of Provision' (SOP) in which Māori development strategies converge with non-Māori attempts to expand research and marketing programmes. These programmes seek to implement added-value strategies in supplying novel horticultural products within New Economic Space; parallel 'cultural logics' ensure food is supplied to traditional Māori institutions according to the cultural logics of Māori. In addition to this finding, results also show that the participation of Māori growers in New Economic Space can paradoxically lead to an expansion of the Traditional Economic Space of Māori. This expansion is not simply contingent upon configurations of policy, technology, and institutional innovations that originate in New Economic Space but is directed by Māori cultural logics, located in Māori territories but seeking innovations from an amorphous universal 'core'. The interface between the global New Economy and the localities of a Māori cultural economy is defined by the 'interrogation' of these innovations, and innovators, through eco-cultural institutions in their diffusion to and from Māori land, Māori resources and Māori people. Within the boundaries of this interrogation border resides a malleable assemblage of actants, enrolled by Māori as components of resilience strategies, which can lead to the endurance of Māori culture.

Facing global competition and product diversity, companies have to grasp market and consumption information timely, keep the operation flexible, and satisfy market demands rapidly. To maintain the competitiveness of the company, it is also important to ensure that the business operation is low cost, highly efficient and with excellent flexibility. In other words, aside from possessing the capability of leanness, agility is indispensible as well for sustaining a company’s competitive advantages. Having a supply chain equipped with both leanness and agility these two capabilities is critical for companies. A company’s supply chain strategy is about realizing its competitive advantages and using supply chain capabilities, including leanness, response speed and flexibility, to support the required competitive strategies. In this thesis, the investigator chose the automobile component sector in Taiwan as the empirical subject. A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 40 of them were returned and valid. The structural equation modeling approach and fs/QCA were used for data analysis, and both approaches showed (1) a significantly positive effect of innovative products on supply chain agility, (2) a significantly positive effect of functional products on supply chain leanness, (3) a significantly positive effect of cost leadership on supply chain leanness, (4) a significantly positive effect of differentiation on supply chain agility, (5) a significantly positive effect of supply chain leanness on corporate performance, and (6) a significantly positive effect of supply chain agility on corporate performance.

This paper, whose purpose is to explore psychological factor to users’ behavioral intention with applying two distinct methodologies: Partial Least Squares Path Modelling (PLS-PM) and Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA), on a theoretical question about smartphone perceptions. We compare how these two analytic perspectives differ by examining psychological factors that lead smartphone users to oppose alternative branded phones. To contribute to methodology, we illustrate how recently developed fs/QCA approach can provide an alternative way to analyze outcomes from PLS in management. To contribute substantively, we explore the extent to which threats to technological self-esteem which we are interested in and other cognitive factors affect opposition to the alternative technologies. This study focuses on figuring out other psychological possibilities based on the relationship of threats to tech self-esteem and opposing with different analytic methods by adopting 300 qualified questionnaires based on the previous research. After applying the two distinct techniques on the same study dataset, we summarized the results and conclude some findings. First, TTSE is necessary and sufficient to OPPOSING while it supported that fs/QCA and PLS-PM are complementary in explaining symmetric relationships. However, fs/QCA can extend our domain understanding with asymmetric relationships based on the other two findings. One is the second combinations of antecedents, BIDEN*~SEFF*USC*~HABIT, is an alternative explanation to the opposition behavior on rival smartphone. The other is BIDEN*~SEFF*USC*~HABIT is sufficient for opposition that can’t be found in PLS-PM. The three findings reinterpreted and gave deeper description of the relationship between psychological factors for smartphone users and their opposition on alternative phone.

Full textAbstract:
Plenty of literature on megatrends escapes the logic of validation. Most publications on forecasting apply quantitative methods and the use of qualitative forecasting is scarce especially in the Hospitality and Tourism (H&T) industry, which is so sensitive to macro level factors. Alongside this, it is surprising that studies that explore the accuracy of such predictions are scarce which hampers the capacity to improve forecasting techniques. With this in consideration, the main goal of this study was to uncover the potential predictors of accuracy in qualitative forecasting sources in H&T. In order to do so, we identified and selected a set of documents that used qualitative forecasting methods to predict trends in H&T for the 1998-2008 period, and devised an empirical study that puts to test the expected trends against the test of time. With a panel of 14 experts in H&T that indicated what occurred in the aforementioned period, we computed a weighted score of accuracy for each document and classified it according to four potential causal variables (Explicit methods, Number of cites, Multisource, and Multimethod, thought of as indicators of forecasting quality). The model was tested with a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fs/QCA) which indicated that clarifying the qualitative forecasting methods (Explicit) and having multiple sources (Multisource) are the main predictors of the qualitative forecasting sources’ accuracy in H&T.A maioria das publicações sobre previsão usam métodos quantitativos e a previsão de base qualitativa é escassa especialmente no sector da Hospitalidade e Turismo (H&T) que é tão sensível a fatores de nível macro. Em acréscimo, é surpreendente que os estudos que exploram a precisão de tais previsões sejam escassos, o que reduz a capacidade de melhorar as técnicas de previsão. Considerando isto, o principal objetivo deste estudo foi o de descobrir os potenciais preditores de precisão nas fontes de previsão qualitativa em H&T. Para o concretizar, identificámos e selecionámos um conjunto de documentos que usam métodos qualitativos de previsão para as tendências de H&T para o período de 1998-2008 e desenvolvemos um estudo empírico que põe à prova as tendências esperadas em relação ao teste do tempo. Com um painel de 14 peritos em H&T que indicaram o ocorrido no período mencionado calculámos um score ponderado de precisão para cada documento e classificámo-lo de acordo com quatro potenciais variáveis causais (métodos explícitos, número de citações, multi-fonte e multi-método, tidos como indicadores da qualidade da previsão). O modelo foi testado por via da análise comparada qualitativa de conjunto difuso (fs/QCA) que indicou que clarificar os métodos de previsão usados (explícito) e contar com várias fontes de informação (multi-fonte) são os principais preditores da precisão dos documentos que oferecem previsões qualitativas em H&T.

Full textAbstract:
Prior research focusing on the market maven (MM) neglects to consider the possible existence of people who may represent an important source of marketplace information for MMs—the market guru (MG). A “market guru” is a consumer others frequently seek out for advice but who does not seek advice from others. In contrast to MG, a MM is a consumer who other consumers frequently ask for advice and who frequently seeks advice from others. This study raises the proposition that a greater share of MGs versus MMs are innovators, that is, individuals who rely on technical reports to become the first to adopt new products in her or his community. This study applies fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fs/QCA) to distinguish between MMs and MGs using multi-year data from a national U.S. omnibus survey. The findings support several propositions distinguishing MGs from MMs. MMs evaluate themselves as great influencers of consumers, highly sensitive to normative susceptibility, and possessing superior taste. However, MGs evaluate themselves exactly the opposite from MMs on these conditions.
