Full textAbstract:
Purpose Although social exchange theory has long been used to explain employees’ positive work attitudes in response to perceived investment in employee development (PIED), few studies have examined this theoretical mechanism by introducing a direct measure of social exchange between employees and their personified organization. Furthermore, most studies have focused solely on one type of exchange (i.e. social exchange) and have ignored another type of exchange characterized as economic exchange. The purpose of this paper is therefore to uncover the process by which PIED affects employees’ attitudes, including affective organizational commitment and job satisfaction, by examining the mediating roles of both social and economic exchanges. Design/methodology/approach To test the hypothesized mediating model, this study conducted a three-phase, time-lagged questionnaire survey and collected data from 545 full-time employees. The model was tested based on structural equation modeling with a bootstrap test of indirect effects. Findings In line with social exchange theory, the findings showed that social exchange perceptions positively mediated the relationships between PIED and affective commitment/job satisfaction, whereas economic exchange perceptions negatively mediated them. Additionally, social and economic exchange perceptions were found to partially mediate the relationship between PIED and affective commitment but fully mediate the relationship between PIED and job satisfaction. Practical implications These results suggest that employers would benefit from investing in employee development, provided workers see the training investment as the employer’s side of social exchange, which in turn leads to increased affective commitment and job satisfaction. When employers do not achieve the expected returns from the training investment, they should check not only hard data (e.g. training attendance rate, hours of training, etc.) but also soft data (e.g. employees’ perceptions of training investment, social exchange, etc.) by conducting employee surveys and communicating with line managers. Originality/value The main contribution of this study is that it provides important empirical support for social exchange theory in the context of organizational training investment and employees’ attitudinal outcomes, by directly testing the positive mediating role of social exchange and the negative role of economic exchange.

In this article I compare the informal exchange of favours, goods and information in St. Petersburg and Helsinki. The study is part of a larger international comparative research project coordinated by the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris. This text is based on data collected in the two cities during 1993 - 94: Forty secondary school teachers in St. Petersburg and thirty-eight in Helsinki kept a diary of their important social relations for two weeks. Each evening during this period they recorded their significant social encounters of the day in structured questionnaires; eg. whom they met and what they did or discussed together. After the two weeks, they added to the diaries persons whom they had not encountered during the study period but whom they nevertheless considered as significant for their social life. In addition, a complementary theme interview concentrating on their life course was carried out. Clear differences were found between the informal exchange practices of Russian and Finnish respondents. Compared to their Finnish colleagues, Russian teachers exchanged more favours, goods and important information. Moreover, the content of the informal exchange in St. Petersburg was both of a different nature and more diverse than in Helsinki; cases abounded of Russian respondents having to use their relatives, friends, colleagues or acquaintances in order to obtain informally products or different kinds of services (eg. medical care). Similarly, half of the Russian respondents reported blat exchanges - a particular Soviet/post-Soviet phenomenon of arranging things through informal connections, and a practice not found in the Finnish data. The informal exchanges reported in the St. Petersburg data were more often carried out with colleagues or other work-mediated relations, thereby stressing the importance of the Russian workplace as a social milieu. In the Russian data the informal exchange relations also involved more examples of informal exchange mediated by a third person, whereas in Helsinki the relations were more of a dyadic nature. The results support the view proposed by previous research according to which informal exchange and patterns of behavior inherited from the socialist era still continue to influence the transition society. The continuing lack of trust in official institutions and social services was compensated for by our Russian respondents with the use of their personal relations. The trust necessary for informal exchanges to take place was guaranteed either through the use of brokers or a common social context, particularly the workplace. The resulting forms of social life can be characterized as personalized (since abstract and therefore replacable relations were turned into personal and unique ones) and mediated (since the brokers were often used). Though changing in forms and functions, the networks of personal relations still continue to play a significant role in the life of post-Soviet citizens.

Background Social media has emerged as the epicenter for exchanging health-related information, resources, and emotional support. However, despite recognized benefits of social media for advancing health-promoting support exchange, researchers have struggled to differentiate between the different ways social support occurs and is expressed through social media. Objective The objective of this study was to develop a fuller understanding of social support exchange by examining the ways in which breast cancer patients discuss their health needs and reach out for support on Facebook and to develop a coding schema that can be useful to other social media researchers. Methods We conducted a retrospective qualitative assessment of text-based social support exchanges through Facebook among 30 breast cancer survivors. Facebook wall data were systematically scraped, organized, coded, and characterized by whether and which types of support were exchanged. Research questions focused on how often participants posted related to cancer, how often cancer patients reached out for support, and the relative frequency of informational, instrumental, or socioemotional support requests broadcast by patients on the site. Results A novel ground-up coding schema applied to unwieldy Facebook data successfully identified social support exchange in two critical transitions in cancer treatment: diagnosis and transition off cancer therapy. Explanatory coding, design, and analysis processes led to a novel coding schema informed by 100,000 lines of data, an a priori literature review, and observed online social support exchanges. A final coding schema permits a compelling analysis of support exchange as a type of peer community, where members act proactively to buffer stress effects associated with negative health experiences. The coding schema framed operational definitions of what support meant and the forms each type of support could take in social media spaces. Conclusions Given the importance of social media in social interaction, support exchange, and health promotion, our findings provide insight and clarity for researchers into the different forms informational, resource, and emotional support may take in Web-based social environments. Findings support broader continuity for evaluating computer-mediated support exchange.

<p>Although the fields of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Relationship Exchange have both significantly developed over the last quarter century, their content and concepts have largely remained independent. This study seeks to integrate the two streams of research by proposing an antecedent role for CSR with respect to stimulating collaborative agreements between firms and suppliers. Here we investigate the relationship between CSR and relationship exchange through a mediated model, which includes three specific factors: trust, reputation and network resources. We propose that it is through these factors that CSR influences the willingness of both partners to initiate collaborative, long-term exchanges.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The existing body of research on “organizational citizenship behavior” (OCB) predominantly emphasizes its positive outcomes. However, individuals who actively engage in organization-oriented OCB to support the organization's effectiveness may occasionally exhibit “unethical pro-organizational behavior” (UPB) based on strong organizational identification and positive social exchanges. Drawing upon “Social Identity Theory” (SIT) and “Social Exchange Theory” (SET), this study presents a mediated model to deepen our understanding of UPB as a potential negative consequence of OCB, mediated by social exchange (SE). Survey data was collected from 303 managerial-level workforces employed in the Banking Sector of Pakistan. The empirical analysis provides robust evidence supporting the direct link between OCB and UPB, as well as the mediating role of SE between OCB and UPB. Both theoretical as well as managerial implications are comprehensively deliberated in the end.

Purpose Applying social exchange and job demands resources theories, this study aims to proposes a research model in which work engagement (WE) mediates the influence of work social support on job satisfaction (JS), in-role performance (IRP) and creative performance (CP). Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from cabin attendants via three surveys two weeks apart and their pursers. The aforesaid relationships were assessed through structural equation modeling. Findings In general, there is support for the preponderance of hypotheses. Specifically, WE completely mediate the impact of coworker support on JS and IRP, whereas the impact of supervisor support on CP is completely mediated by WE. WE partly mediate the effect of coworker support on CP. Further, the effect of supervisor support on JS and IRP is partly mediated by WE. Originality/value The study extends and contributes to the current service research by assessing the impact of WE simultaneously on three performance outcomes. And it adds to current knowledge by investigating the mediating mechanism linking work social support to the attitudinal and behavioral outcomes. It also controls the threat of common method variance with at least two procedural remedies, which have been rarely used in the current service research.

International exchanges have become increasingly common. Although it is an explicit goal of exchange programs that exchange students immerse in another culture and learn to feel like a local, there is no systematic research on the development of one’s social identity during the exchange year. A longitudinal study with German high school students who spend an exchange year in the United States investigates the trajectories of social identification, identity integration of primary and secondary cultural identities, and well-being longitudinally at three measurement times (before departure, N = 556, 3 months, N = 210, and 6 months after arrival, N = 178). As social support is suggested to be an important resource, multilevel analyses tested the impact of three subcomponents of social support (i.e., emotional, instrumental, and compatibility-informational support) on the individual trajectories. It was found that social identification and identity integration increased over time, whereas well-being was high across all times. Identity integration mediated the positive effect of social identification on well-being. Moreover, emotional support was positively related to well-being and compatibility-informational support was positively related to identity integration. Instrumental support fostered early identity integration but diminished its slope when applied at later times. The present data demonstrate that an exchange year stimulates the development of the social self-concept, which is relevant for well-being. Moreover, it shows that the right kind of social support at the right time can foster this development.

We applied social exchange theory to our investigation of how different types of social support (informational, emotional, esteem, network) influence social loafing in online brand communities through psychological ownership and community commitment. We used a questionnaire to collect data from 315 participants, then tested the research model with partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results show that the four types of social support had different effects on psychological ownership and community commitment, which, in turn, influenced social loafing. Further, community commitment mediated the effect of psychological ownership on social loafing. Our results extend social loafing theory and provide guidelines for reducing social loafing in online brand communities.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to examine how media synchronicity facilitates the emergence of social exchange (i.e. trust and reciprocity) in organizations’ information and communication technology (ICT)-mediated interactions. A model of media synchronicity in organizational social exchange (MSiOSE) is proposed.Design/methodology/approachThe paper has a design and review approach. The theoretical analysis is based on social exchange theory (SET) and media synchronicity theory (MST).FindingsThe authors propose that, in general, social exchange benefits from both asynchronous and synchronous communication processes. However, media synchronicity has different boundary conditions (i.e. pros and cons) in relation to the emergence of social exchange, determined in accordance with the mutually interacting patterns of trust and reciprocity predicted by SET. The authors provide testable theoretical propositions to support the analysis.Originality/valueSocial exchange is a critical business factor for organizations due to its well-known positive outcomes, such as the strengthening of social ties. The need for successful social exchange in remote work conditions is particularly emphasized. However, with regard to the communication and behavioral patterns that lead to social exchange via ICT, the theoretical understanding is limited. The study reveals previously unmapped heuristics between social exchange and physical media capabilities. Thus, the study's propositions can be used to study and analyze social exchange in the ever-changing media landscape. As a practical contribution, the study helps organizations to improve their communication strategies and use of ICT.

In this article, we examine the mediating role played by affective and cognitive trust in chief executive officer (CEO) and intra-group trust, on the relationship between CEO participative leadership and the performance of the top management team (TMT) and its members within entrepreneurial new ventures. Drawing on four waves of multilevel, multi-source data, our study extends social exchange theory by teasing out the trust-based social exchange mechanisms linking CEO participative leadership to performance outcomes. Specifically, the data analysis revealed that intra-group trust mediated the relationship between CEO participative leadership and TMT performance, while affective trust mediated the relationship between CEO participative leadership and performance of TMT members. However, cognitive trust did not mediate this relationship. This suggests that it is important for CEOs of new ventures to use participative leadership to create strong levels of affective trust with TMT members and intra-group trust within the TMT.

Full textAbstract:
Using both quantitative and qualitative methods of inquiry, this dissertation study undertakes an exploration of the dynamics of the social interaction in discourse co-constructed by pairs of college students in telecollaborative tandem exchanges. Two groups of participants, Mexican learners of English as a foreign language and American learners of Spanish as a foreign language, participated in video-based telecollaborative tandem exchanges where they worked in pairs to discuss topics assigned by their instructors, communicating half the time in Spanish and half in English. According to the principle of reciprocity in tandem learning, the participants switch between the roles of native speaker (NS) expert and non-native speaker (NNS) learner as they invest equal time, effort, and interest in each language part of the chats. Grounded in sociocultural theory (SCT) for second language acquisition (SLA), this study addresses research questions pertaining to (1) the distribution of talk between the members of each pair and between the language parts of the exchange, (2) the distribution of interactional resources deployed by the members of each pair to establish and maintain intersubjectivity and build a relationship, and (3) the individual experiences of participants regarding their positioning in and perspectives of the exchange. Addressing the three research questions allowed the researcher to look at the telecollaborative tandem exchanges from the perspectives of language production, social aspects of interaction, and individual experiences and perspectives to gather a deeper understanding of the tandem context.
The analysis of three data sources—survey responses, chat transcripts from one chat of the semester-long telecollaborative tandem project, and post-project participant interviews—shows that the principle of reciprocity posited by tandem theorists as equal time, effort, and interest in each language part underestimates the complexity of the construct as it was created by the participants in the telecollaborative tandem interactions examined in this dissertation study. A mixed methods approach allowed the researcher to deconstruct and reconsider the construct of reciprocity in telecollaborative tandem learning. The telecollaborative tandem exchanges examined in this study were not reciprocal between language parts of the exchange in terms of language production, use of interactional resources, or tandem participant positioning. Instead, they presented complex pair relationships that used language differently in each language part to establish and maintain intersubjectivity, as well as the strong desire of the participants to position themselves and their partners as peers rather than take on the roles assumed to characterize the tandem context; that is, NS as expert and NNS as learner.
In accordance with these findings, telecollaborative tandem learning should be approached with an open understanding of the concept of reciprocity in which the participants co-construct their relationship through meaningful social dialogue as peers, rather than through the roles of NS expert and NNS learner. Based on the findings of this study, the expert–learner model of reciprocity may be too rigid and too static for the dynamic context of telecollaborative tandem learning.

L'introduction de l'intelligence artificielle (IA) dans la fonction Ressources Humaines (RH) fait l'objet d'un intérêt croissant tant auprès du monde académique que socio-professionnel. Dans ce contexte, l'objectif de cette thèse vise à comprendre d'une part, les effets de l'introduction de l'IA dans la fonction RH et d'autre part, l'émergence de nouvelles façons de travailler des collaborateurs.Sur le plan théorique, le cadre d'analyse de la théorie des paradoxes, propose d'identifier les réponses des individus face aux tensions paradoxales qui émergent dans un contexte de Gestion des Ressources Humaines (GRH) algorithmique. Il est complété par la théorie de l'échange social médié par l'IA qui permet de considérer l'IA comme un médiateur, reconfigurant les relations d'échanges.La méthodologie mixte mobilisée, s'appuie sur une première étude qualitative exploratoire réalisée auprès des directeurs et responsables RH, des éditeurs de solutions IA-RH et des experts en IA. Elle est suivie d'une seconde étude quantitative exploratoire, menée auprès des collaborateurs permettant de tester le modèle à travers des équations structurelles. Ces deux études permettent de couvrir de façon inédite, l'ensemble des acteurs concernés par l'introduction de l'IA dans la fonction RH et les nouvelles façons de travailler.Nos résultats qualitatifs révèlent une perception duale de l'IA, en raison d'une conscientisation disparate des répondants. Des tensions paradoxales émergent, nécessitant un renouvellement de la représentation de la fonction RH et la mise en place de leviers d'actions managériales pour les accepter. Les expressions d'un besoin de transparence, d'équité algorithmique et d'autonomie professionnelle pour une relation augmentée avec l'IA sont évoquées. Nos résultats quantitatifs révèlent que la transparence perçue de l'IA exerce deux influences : une influence directe sur l'engagement au travail, et une influence indirecte sur cette variable via deux médiateurs partiels : l'équité algorithmique perçue et l'autonomie professionnelle perçue.Notre recherche contribue à mieux identifier les tensions paradoxales émergentes lors de l'échange social médié par l'IA et les nouvelles façons de travailler avec la fonction RH pour une meilleure expérience collaborateur. La proposition d'une fresque de l'IA que nous avons réalisé à destination des responsables RH et des collaborateurs participe à une IA explicable et compréhensibleThe introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Human Resources (HR) function is the subject of growing interest in both the academic and socio-professional worlds. In this context, the aim of this thesis is to understand, on the one hand, the effects of the introduction of AI in the HR function and, on the other hand, the emergence of new ways of working for employees.From a theoretical perspective, the paradox theory analysis framework proposes to identify the responses of individuals to the paradoxical tensions that emerge in a context of algorithmic HRM. It is complemented by the theory of AI-mediated social exchange, which considers AI as a mediator, reconfiguring exchange relationships.The mixed methodology used is based on an initial exploratory qualitative study of HR directors and managers, AI solutions providers for HR and AI experts. It is followed by a second exploratory quantitative study, conducted among employees, to test the model through structural equations. These two studies provide unprecedented coverage of all parties involved by the introduction of AI in the HR function and new ways of working.Our qualitative results reveal a dual perception of AI, due to the disparate awareness of respondents. Paradoxical tensions emerge, requiring a renewal of the representation of the HR function and the implementation of managerial action levers to accept them. The need for transparency, algorithmic fairness and professional autonomy for a better relationship with AI is expressed. Our quantitative results reveal that the perceived transparency of AI has two influences: a direct influence on commitment to work, and an indirect influence on this variable via two partial mediators: perceived algorithmic fairness and perceived professional autonomy.Our research contributes to better identifying the paradoxical tensions emerging during AI-mediated social exchange and the new ways of working with the HR function to improve the employee experience. The AI mural that we have produced for HR managers and employees contributed to explainable and understandable AI

Les recherches actuelles portent sur l'évolution de la corruption en tant que concept présent d'une manière ou d'une autre dans presque toutes les sociétés et lié à diverses disciplines. Dans la première partie de la thèse, nous avons expliqué le phénomène de la corruption et avons examiné ses définitions, ses théories et ses concepts en tant qu’un « die hard" phénomène qui a provoqué une terrible régression. Dans cette étude, la corruption est considérée comme un schéma récurrent d'échanges socialement intégrés, où les relations professionnelles et personnelles sont utilisées dans des échanges corrompus. Afin de mieux comprendre le phénomène dans le contexte pakistanais, une étude qualitative a été menée pour explorer la perception des employés d’institutions publiques et privées à l’aide de 32 entretiens semi-structurés et de 20 narrations. Les résultats indiquent que le Pakistan n’est pas seulement confronté aux problèmes de corruption, mais qu’il est le principal obstacle au développement socio-économique. La corruption et le népotisme sont devenus les principales formes de corruption au Pakistan. Un plan d’enquête transversal quantitatif a été utilisé pour collecter les données auprès des employés des organisations publiques et privées du Pakistan pour tester les hypothèses de l'étude. 434 répondants ont participé et ont rempli les formulaires du sondage. Les résultats obtenus ont validé le groupe d'hypothèses principal (groupe 1). Notre contribution à la littérature existante, aux implications managériales et aux recherches futures a également été abordée dans les sections respectives de cette thèse.Mots clés : Corruption, Népotisme, Justice organisationnelleWe explained the phenomenon of corruption and examined its definitions, theories, and concepts as a ‘die-hard’ phenomenon that has caused awful retrogression. In this research, corruption is viewed as a repeated pattern of socially embedded exchanges where professional and personal relations are used in corrupt exchanges. To better understand the phenomenon in the context of Pakistan a qualitative study was conducted to explore the perception of employees of public and private institutions through 32 semi-structured interviews and 20 narrations. The results indicate that Pakistan is not only confronting with the problems of corruption. Bribery and nepotism emerged as the main forms of corruption in Pakistan. The complexity of socio-cultural patterns and the nature of relationships involved in corrupt transactions further accredit the interest of the theory of social exchange and on the manifestations of stress that the phenomenon leads to the individual. The choice of variables and their relations to be verified in the hypothetic-deductive approach of the last part of the thesis emanated from the qualitative study. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was used to collect the data from the employees working in the public and private organizations of Pakistan to test the study hypothesis. A total of 434 respondents participated and filled the survey forms. The results obtained validated the main group of hypotheses (group-1) stating the relationship of perceived bribery, nepotism and job outcomes.

The main goal of this study was to investigate whether computer-mediated communication (CMC) intercultural exchange offers the conditions necessary for the development of the sociolinguistic competence of L2 learners. The secondary goal was to provide a description of the characteristics of the exchange as a language practice regarding language learning and cultural contact. Non-native speakers (NNS) of French in British Columbia interacted through computer-mediated communication with native speakers (NS) of French in Quebec over the course of one school semester. The data for this study included the transcripts of text-based chat discussions and of a group forum, and answers to questionnaires and interviews. Drawing on the sociocultural perspective, this study used a qualitative approach to analyze the collected data. The framework used to guide the sociolinguistic inquiry consisted of The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (Council of Europe, 2001). The findings of this study suggest that intercultural CMC exchange offers positive conditions for the development of this competence. NNS were exposed to sociolinguistic variation and made minor changes in their use of sociolinguistic elements, showing that they developed sensitivity to the vernacular style used by NS. In addition, the exchange fostered the creation of a collective meaning that allowed L2 learners to participate in meaningful interactions and to increase their level of confidence. Finally, the exchange allowed participants to experience the dimension of “culture as individual” (Levy, 2007), an aspect of culture that encouraged them to share their personal views on culture and to connect on a personal level with their NS partners.

Advances in information technology facilitate extensive collection and analysis of personal information for the purpose of strategic use by websites or companies. However, the typical reluctance of web users in sharing personal information significantly reduces such opportunity enabled by information technology. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to construct and empirically assess a causal model that explains how web users intend to share their personal information online. In particular, this theoretical model proposes that social exchange attitude mediates the impacts of trust and privacy concern on the intention of sharing personal information. A large sample (N=1269) is collected to test the proposed model. The empirical data strongly supports the hypotheses and suggests that trust and concern for privacy directly and indirectly affects the intention to share personal information via the attitude of social exchange. The direct and indirect impacts of trust are both positive. On the other hand, the direct impact of concern for privacy is negative, whereas the indirect impact is positive. Furthermore, this study also examined the moderator effect of four types of virtual community.

This study investigate in the social network citizenship behaviors on Facebook, discussing the effect caused by internet trust and perceived risks. Moreover, we propose self-disclosure and social exchange intention which the main activities on Facebook will have mediating effect to social network citizenship behaviors. Besides, we propose the social tie strength to be the moderator, moderate all the paths in our research model, to understand the difference on users behavior as they considering the tie strength. The research results discover that the influence caused by social exchange intention are different on social network citizenship behavior. And the perceived risks have less power to explain people''s behaviors on Facebook. We propose the possible way to study SNSs in the future and provide the management implication for SNSs researchers.

Data were collected through self-report questionnaires (N=316), targeting groups of employees in the headquarter office and several other offices of Directorate General Customs and Excise, Indonesia. The findings indicate that there is a significant difference in the level of surface acting with colleague and surface acting with the public. The result also shows that deep acting with colleague mediates the relationship between emotional intelligence and leader-member social exchange however surface acting with the public does not mediate the relationship. Management implications of the findings, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.

This thesis reports on aspects of information exchange in an online network whose members share an interest in travel. The Thorn Tree resembles a real thorn tree on which travellers hang messages. Using social network analysis, the network resulting from members participating in online discussions considers the importance of structure and position in an exchange network to travel information exchanges on the Africa category. Different ways and frequency of participation result in communication patterns giving structure to an exchange network in which participation in a thread determines the presence of a tie between actors. Actors are placed in various relations to others; network analysis makes measurements such as levels of reciprocity, density and centrality possible. At the heart of this study lies an inquiry into the Internet’s impact on society, more so, human interaction in cyberspace where spaces, places and even communities are qualified as being “virtual”. Scholars have different views in this regard. Some commentators claim that the Internet has spawned unique forms of community. The term “virtual communities” suggests new kinds of social interaction, with revolutionary consequences for local and global communication. Online communication could be a substitute for the loss of “traditional” physical communities, or even the cause of their demise. Others, however, praise the Internet for spawning communities even in the physical world. More complex theoretical perspectives are indicative of a need to interrogate the very notions of community and contemporary social networks resultant from the many-to-many communication capabilities of computer-mediated communication (CMC). Apart from community formation on the Internet, the concept community has not been tested among travellers yet. Networks, the ties people form and the exchanges that take place as a result of such ties relate to social capital. The notion of social capital in a computer-mediated environment needs more intense academic scrutiny. Nevertheless, for travellers and destination areas alike, information exchanges can be beneficial. However, not all information exchanges on the Thorn Tree or on the Internet per se are necessarily beneficial since verification is not always possible in a cyber environment. Nevertheless, for travellers with a need for travel information in a sparse network characterised by weak ties, content analysis linked to a network analysis proves that weak ties are beneficial for spreading useful information. On the Africa category discussions are short while threads have very limited life spans. Of the total number of actors in this dataset (1 282), it was found that a few are particularly active, while many contribute a few messages to a limited number of threads and clearly do not interact regularly on the Thorn Tree.Thesis (DPhil (Information Science))--University of Pretoria, 2007.

The aim of the study was to investigate “The relationships among high performance work system, employee’s creative behavior and compliant behavior.” The social exchange perspective was used as a mediator to investigate the mediating effects between high performance work system and employee’s creative behavior or compliant behavior. The study used customer-contact employees who came from the chain service industry of three (or more) stores as the object of study, using a two-phase questionnaire to collect data. The data was collected from eighty stores and 401 valid questionnaires were collected. The Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was used in the main hypotheses tests to test the relationships among the variables. The major findings based on the statistical analyses are as below: 1.High performance work system has a significant positive influence on employee’s creative behavior. 2.High performance work system has a significant positive influence on employee’s compliant behavior. 3.High performance work system has a significant positive influence on employee’s social exchange relation. 4.Employee’s social exchange relation has a significant positive influence on employee’s creative behavior. 5.Employee’s social exchange relation has a significant positive influence on employee’s compliant behavior. 6.Employee’s social exchange relation has a complete mediation effect between high performance work system and employee’s creative behavior. 7.Employee’s social exchange relation has a complete mediation effect between high performance work system and employee’s compliant behavior. Based on the research results, the practical suggestions will be provided to chain service industries and further study as the references.

In order to developing of information technology, the computer and Internet has changed the way people live and promote the industrial upgrading, and relying on the network to provide real-time information is one of the common operating strategy. Knowledge exchange activities through the Internet will no longer be limited by the organizational and geographical stints, and people will be able to use the knowledge sharing platform to seek other aspects of daily life, study or professional problem solving. Members used the interaction mechanism of the platform to obtain the sharing knowledge, or the experience of same problem (Wang, 2008), and then feedback to the other members. Domestic enterprises usually faced the pressure of globalization and competitions, and they should actively explore how to promote knowledge management in order to create competitive advantage. However, the biggest problem encountered by the corporate members of the organization is not easily share the knowledge owned by individuals (Wu , 2000). Ruggles (1998) also thought that activities of knowledge management to knowledge sharing were the most difficult and should pay close attention. Therefore, if community members willing to knowledge sharing, and provide a good platform for the exchange of knowledge, will help to improve knowledge sharing, feedback behavior. In summary, this study is mainly to the social exchange theory, altruism and community identification of knowledge feedback for the research topic, and share knowledge as a mediating variable. In this study, we used the PTT which is the largest electronic bulletin board (BBS station) to be the research objects. We expected to offer 300 questionnaires, but a total of 257 questionnaires were collected, and we used SPSS to verify the underlying assumptions of this study. The result shows that: (1) social exchange theory, altruism and community identification has a positive impact on knowledge sharing; (2) knowledge sharing has a positive impact on the knowledge feedback; (3) social exchange theory, altruism and community identity has a positive impact on the knowledge feedback; (4) social exchange theory, altruism and community identification could be generated intermediary effect knowledge feedback by knowledge sharing.

The increasing platformization of urban life needs critical perspectives to examine changing everyday practices and power shifts brought about by the expansion of digital platforms mediating care-services, housing, and mobility. This book addresses new modes of producing urban spaces and societies. It brings both platform researchers and activists from various fields related to critical urban studies and labour activism into dialogue. The contributors engage with the socio-spatial and normative implications of platform-mediated urban everyday life and urban futures, going beyond a rigid techno-dystopian stance in order to include an understanding of platforms as sites of social creativity and exchange.

Full textAbstract:
This handbook represents the frontier of research into the economics of networks: how and why they form, how they influence behavior, how they help govern outcomes in an interactive world, and how they shape collective decision making, opinion formation, and diffusion dynamics. From a methodological perspective, the authors devote attention to theory, field experiments, laboratory experiments, and econometrics. Theoretical work in network formation, games played on networks, repeated games, and the interaction between linking and behavior are synthesized. A number of chapters are devoted to studying social processes mediated by networks. Topics here include opinion formation, diffusion of information and disease, and learning. There are also chapters devoted to financial contagion and systemic risk. Next, the handbook includes a section that discusses communities more generally, with applications including social trust, favor exchange, and social collateral; the importance of communities for migration patterns, and the role that networks and communities play in the labor market. A prominent role of networks, from an economic perspective, is that they mediate trade. Several chapters cover bilateral trade in networks, strategic intermediation, and the role of networks in international trade. The handbook also discusses the role of networks for organizations. One chapter discusses the role of networks for the performance of organizations, while two other chapters discuss managing networks of consumers and pricing in the presence of network-based spillovers. Finally, the handbook covers the Internet as a network, with attention to the issue of net neutrality.

Full textAbstract:
To give and receive social support is an important aspect of social interaction, and since the Internet has become more and more integrated with everyday life, it is no surprise that much social support is exchanged online. Features of computer-mediated communication (CMC) offer possibilities for social support in a manner that would be less easy or even impossible in a face-to-face context. This article focuses on three key elements that are often mentioned when social consequences of CMC are discussed: the possibility to communicate relatively anonymously, the text-based character, and the opportunities it provides for expanding social networks without being hindered by time and space barriers. It addresses how these may affect support seeking, and argues that interacting in online social support groups holds great potential for people who seek support, but may also contain some potential hazards. However, even though the body of research is growing, we still know fairly little about how online social-support groups affect the well-being of people who are in need of support.

The study is based on the theoretical-methodological reference of the Historical-Cultural Perspective, in particular, in the studies of Vigotski that emphasize the beginning role of language for human development. About the children with disabilities, he considers that they develop a new way of understanding and relating, and for this reason, in dealing with them, the boundary barriers of disability (the insufficiencies) cannot be walls that prevent action of the teacher. This, in turn, needs to be attentive to the compensatory ways established in social relationship. Based on these ideas, this study considers that children with ASD have their development linked to favorable social conditions. Fieldwork was carried out in the second half of 2016, focusing on pedagogical activities developed between the student and the teacher-researcher. The situations were videotaped and registered in field diaries; the filming was transcribed in full, considering the body movements, expressions and gestures of the participants. In the course of fieldwork, the teacher-researcher reflects on his practice, changes the way he relates to the boy, and in this movement of exchanges and (re)constructions, the student also changes. The analysis reveals that the teacher-student relationship, mediated by the word, constituted as a space for (trans)formation, elaboration and development of both, student and teacher.

Bedford, Joseph, ed. How is Architecture Political? Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350263093.
Full textAbstract:
Chantal Mouffe has transformed the contemporary understanding of politics through her re-reading of political theory inspired by anti-foundationalist philosophy—based on Saussure’s linguistics, Freud’s psychoanalysis and Derrida’s deconstruction. Her writings have challenged the centrist, post-political ideology of the 1990s and presciently diagnosed the emergence of right-wing populism seen today with Trump and Brexit. For Mouffe, such populism is the result of the failed centrist conception of politics reduced to technical management. She has called for a “return to politics” on the view that social antagonisms cannot be reconciled but must be channeled into an agonistic form of institutionally stabilized struggle. This book brings Chantal Mouffe’s agonistic model of politics into direct dialogue with architecture and inquiries into the role that architecture plays constructing the political order of society, either by concealing or revealing its antagonisms and ideological conflicts. In doing so, it asks in what ways architecture operates politically; whether institutionally, in terms of its spaces and its part in forming cities, or as an aesthetic object with mediatic agency. Through this detailed exchange between Mouffe and four of the world’s leading architectural thinkers; Reinhold Martin, Ines Weisman, Pier Vittorio Aureli and Sarah Whiting, a debate unfolds within the book that tests the implications of Mouffe’s agonistic model of politics for architectural practice today. Through this, Bedford explores how architectural history, architectural drawing, the making of spectacular monuments, the design and policies behind housing, and the making of public and private space, all potentially contribute to the formulation of the channeling of social conflict into an agonistic form.

AbstractContemporary society is an “informational” or “networked” society, actualized by individuals engaging in communication processes that take place in online social networks. While interpreting “traces” as “documents in archives (which) for the most part come from witnesses in spite of themselves” ((Ricoeur, Memory, history, forgetting. University of Chicago Press, 2009: 171), we will explore how the users of virtual communities consider and use these traces in different ways than originally intended, thus acquiring different meanings. In specific, we will focus on two research questions in this chapter: (1) What are the features of the information that are left unintentionally by the users of virtual communities? and (2) What is the role of such unintentional information in virtual communities? In order to answer these research questions, we use data gathered by means of 49 semi-structured qualitative interviews (see Agostini & Mechant, International Journal Of Electrical, Electronics And Data Communication (IJEEDC) 3:19–23, 2015). Results show how the members of virtual communities play an active role in decoding “traces” as they rely on their own social contexts and are capable of changing messages themselves through collective action. We also demonstrate that sense of community is mediated by community awareness and that the regular exchange of information has a positive effect on the different dimensions that support sense of community.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter analyses the forms of cultural transfer in Richard Wilhelm’s (1873–1930) China travel writings, brought together in The Soul of China (1925), with a specific focus on the transmission of the concept of “soul.” It examines the two-way transmission of this concept between the East and the West. In The Soul of China, Wilhelm created contact zones, which can be understood as a complex entanglement of different mind-sets at the beginning of the twentieth century after a series of social changes in both Germany and China. By means of The Soul of China, Wilhelm was determined to appeal to the influential analytical psychology in Europe and to illustrate the ancient spiritual laws of Chinese philosophy, primarily in response to the prevailing European esoteric movement, as well as to the abandonment of Confucianism in China. Wilhelm’s earlier translation of The Secret of the Golden Flower demonstrated that, in parallel with the soul of the West, there was also a soul of China, which could be understood as consisting of consciousness and unconsciousness. However, part of the soul of China, that element which was shaped by the ancient spiritual laws as found in Wilhelm’s translation of the I Ching, had not yet been discovered or appropriated by the West. Ultimately, the exchange of the concept of soul was mediated by the construal of a traveller-narrator in the contact zones which Wilhelm created in The Soul of China.

Social virtual reality (VR) is a powerful tool to enrich foreign language (FL) learning processes in collaborative settings. Given the importance of situated, contextual, and interactional learning practices in FL learning, social VR has attracted the attention of language educators. Despite its potential, it has received little attention in research and is underused in FL education. In this study, students in international dyads (Germany – the Netherlands) collaborated in VR using Spanish as a lingua franca, carrying out tasks in a social VR app using high-immersion head-mounted VR headsets. Engagement, students' willingness to communicate, and sense of presence in the social VR environment were investigated. Qualitative and quantitative data included pre- and post-surveys, reflection diaries, video-recordings of the interactions and focus group interviews. The findings show willingness to communicate in social VR varied among students, sense of presence differed among students, students displayed varying degrees of engagement, and some VR features eased student anxiety.

Computer-mediated communication has become the foremost means of sharing knowledge in today’s knowledge-based economy. However, not all Internet-based knowledge-sharing channels are created equal: they differ in their effectiveness when used for exchanging knowledge. A number of factors influence the efficacies of knowledge exchange, including: (1) characteristics of the knowledge being exchanged and, (2) characteristics of the channels used. It is therefore necessary to define key knowledge and channel attributes in order to understand how knowledge can be effectively shared using computers. This chapter examines the computer-mediated knowledge sharing mechanisms and proposes a typology based on media richness and social presence characteristics that can serve as a preliminary conceptual basis to select the most appropriate channel. The chapter concludes with a discussion of key issues and future research directions. While much of the research has been done in organizational settings, the chapter is applicable to all forms of computer-mediated communication.

Different ways of communication are encouraging the development of a different societal texture where social networking sites, blogs, or other Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) tools are employed. The “youngcast” project, an international students’ exchange, has been designed to cope with the demands of this technologically globalized context we are immersed in; in this project, an online platform is used and Oral Synchronous Computer-Mediated Communication (OSCMC) exchanges are scheduled in order to join English and Spanish Second Language (SL) learners from different parts of the world. A case study, aimed to discover some of the preliminary factors inhibiting participants from taking part in the OSCMC exchanges, resulted in the design of an updated version of the online platform; this new environment is more focused on facilitating online communication between tandem partners and keeping track of some of their learners’ production for ulterior feedback.

The current chapter proposes media agent and multi-agent models aiming at improving mediated communication and information exchange in social networking. Great progress has been conducted during the last decades in Information and Communication Technologies, which is also reflected in social media. The proposed models exploit the latest media technologies for the augmentation of user-interaction and contribution experience in multiple levels. Features of the suggested agent and multi-agent approaches are discussed and elaborated through the prism of social computing, social media analytics and intelligence, resulting to a sophisticated communication mediator between users and social groups. In addition, enhanced user engagement and collaboration are considered in terms of rich media experience and augmented reality, semantic interaction services, intelligent content processing and management automation over interoperable multiplatform environments. Social media cooperation and integration is envisioned towards the realization of Web 3.0 and beyond, as the main chapter contribution.

Full textAbstract:
Robert Putnam (1993) has developed a theory of social capital to explain the effect of decreasing community participation and civic engagement on declining institutional performance. Subsequently, there has been much speculation as to whether emerging virtual communities can counteract this trend. We apply the findings of computer-mediated communication and virtual communities to the networks, norms, and trust of social capital and also examine the possible effects of virtual communities on the privatization of leisure time. We conclude that social capital and civic engagement will increase when virtual communities develop around physically based communities and when these virtual communities foster additional communities of interest. Through a preliminary analysis, we identified potential communities of interest including education, exchange of general community information, and opportunities for government and political participation. We conclude with a discussion of current trends and research needs.

Full textAbstract:
During the Pandemic, the access to online education was the best solution to continue teaching. The evolution of technology and its inclusion in the educational process has had its primary role in changing the way we learn, teach, and evaluate. Students are no longer tied to a specific space to be in contact with information, which they no longer necessarily take from books. Access to information paves the way for deciding individually what to learn, in what system, whether to join a learning community, or to download materials to study individually. Interactive learning is based on the exchange of information and ideas, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes, on interpretations and resolutive suggestions and on the social interactions that are established within a group. Interactive learning can be defined as cooperative or collaborative learning based on the paradigm of group-centred learning, reinforced by the theory of social learning. The permanent interaction with the groups to which the learner belongs, the access to the common experience and knowledge of the group members contribute to an ascending learning process supported by a continuous feedback. Learning is located in a social setting, in the middle of cultural influences, and technology-based collaborative learning can facilitate interaction between individuals and teamwork, and how collaboration and technology facilitate the transmission of knowledge and practices between members of a community. Collaboration can be considered a special form of interaction mediated by a computer. The aim of the paper is to present best practices in interactive learning, challenges, and solutions emphasizing on the use of new online technologies. We focus on bachelor's degree programs students but the results can be replicated in different learning systems

Full textAbstract:
VRestaurant is an installation of electronic art, design, gastronomy and multi-sensoriality. Its objective is to explore the potential of virtual reality (VR) to discuss issues related to healthy eating and sustainability. In it, we articulate academic research, linked to the Electronic Art Laboratory at PUC-Rio, with design project development practices, to achieve, through experimentation, an innovative result that contributes to changing people's behavior towards the future of food on the planet. For this, we searched for conceptions of experiences in VR, as well as “teaching-learning” methodologies (ALVES, 2008) in Design. In the methodology we use theoretical, field research, brainstorming and development. We work in a cyclical format, where each step is evaluated and validated. In the conceptual field, we ask: In 2050 will we be able to feed 10 billion people in a healthy and sustainable way to the planet? Humans produce food on a scale that has affected the climate and diverse ecosystems. The conversion of forests to pastures harms the migration of birds and alters the rain and planting periods. The foods produced are often of low nutritional value, which leads to unhealthy diets, causing malnutrition and obesity. Therefore, through awareness, engagement and emotion, we provide participants with a reflection that will stimulate changes in individual behavior, which can generate broader social changes. In the field of Design, we chose VR and its immersiveness, interactivity, multi-sensoriality and sense of presence, to provoke in the user a concrete experience. These areas are capable of producing emotional reactions in human beings. The feeling of experiencing an unfamiliar environment can be a pleasant experience for some and a difficult one for others. However, these sensations added to VR are invariably strong and impactful (SPITZ, 2021). With the restrictions imposed by Sars-Cov-2, the activities were directed to our homes, bringing a reality mediated by screens, which can be exhausting. Immersive technologies make these activities and contact with other people more enjoyable. Interactive possibilities also provide greater collaboration in task development. These potential allies to remote communication were the guiding points of VRestaurant. The development team is multidisciplinary, made up of professors, graduate students, undergraduates, professionals in design, gastronomy, arts, law, architecture, software engineering and cinema. By ensuring that each area is dealt with by those who have expertise, or who show interest in going deeper, even without experience. In our processes, we adapt the universe of VR headsets, through schematic representations, storyboards, videos, animations and text documents, always shared for everyone's analysis and consideration. The result of the process observed in the team is partial, but we conclude that in this multiplicity of profiles, origins and ages, there is a rich exchange of knowledge where subject “A” learns and teaches simultaneously with subject “B”. This approach, which prioritizes horizontal relationships (FREIRE, 1987), generated a vast theoretical, experimental and practical repository, in addition to an environment for creative development. Our academic and technical contribution demonstrates that working on the creation of VRestaurant also represented emotional support for the team in times of pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
"The setting of goals and ways to achieve them is a possibility that the human species acquired with the development of language. Planning and executing, however, are different behaviors, as are the circumstances that favor or prevent them. Getting into graduate school in Brazil is still surrounded by uncertainties, including those regarding the future job market. In addition, the tasks required throughout the course present challenges for most students. Resilience, a necessary characteristic for overcoming adversity, can be investigated through different factors that favor decision-making and maintaining persistence towards the achievement of goals. In addition, self-knowledge mediates the development of these factors. Based on these fundamentals, we aimed to identify the impacts of storytelling videos, accompanied by reflection scripts, on the self-knowledge of students in graduate courses in Belém, in northern Brazil. For that, six videos, six reflection scripts and an on-line interview were prepared by the research group, in addition to an invitation to participate and a participant consent form. The videos were stored on the YouTube platform, and the other materials were made available through Google Forms. The social network WhatsApp was used to forward our invitation, the consent form and the links that allowed access to data collection instruments. Among students who underwent the initial procedures, ten went through all the steps and became participants in this research. The responses made it possible to relate the participants contact with the characters of the stories told in the videos to reflections on the need to pay more attention to themselves, in the sense of self-care and towards positive changes. It is also worth highlighting the recognition of the importance of social exchanges in effecting these changes. Although with different emphases, the results point to the occurrence of advances in the participants’ self-knowledge, with practical consequences in 90% of cases. We conclude that, in the COVID-19 pandemic situation, internet-mediated research can achieve goals beyond data collection, generating positive effects on participants lives."

One of the greatest challenges for people with disabilities is the lack of accessibility to information, and communication, in addition, to learning processes, which results in few possibilities for labor and social inclusion. Currently, in this sense, research and projects are carried out to promote strategies that allow greater use of ICTs in the acquisition and exchange of knowledge to reduce inequalities in terms of accessibility, especially for people with disabilities and, in general, for priority care groups. However, sustained processes are required that allow comprehensive accessibility to people with disabilities.According to studies carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that 5% of the world’s population has a hearing impairment (World Health Organization, 2018). This community generally presents learning problems given the low effectiveness in the transmission of messages between listeners and non-listeners, and, regarding information and communication technologies, there are not enough computerized educational materials that facilitate communication and Autonomous Learning.It is important to mention that ICT plays a decisive role in teaching-learning in various educational environments. Undoubtedly, new technologies can supply means for improving teaching and learning processes, and managing educational environments in general, since they facilitate cooperation and collaboration between students. In addition, they contribute to overcoming social inequalities. Because sign language is the first language of the deaf community, and since it is expressed spatially and visually, it is necessary to produce multimedia content for the generation of computerized educational tools to properly transmit these messages. The present work is oriented toward facilitating sign language learning in people with hearing impairment, which contributes to their coexistence and interaction.We cannot fail to mention that the approach to nature is mediated by language. Without sufficient lexical background, any formative action is limited. It is essential to have a sufficient repertoire of terms that help the speaker understand and know her environment. Under regular conditions, vocabulary acquisition may be conditioned by diverse, but drawing events or conditions: access to physical or digital bibliography, limited educational experience, family environment little related to reading, etc. The increase in vocabulary in a speaker facilitates learning. Many reading comprehension problems begin with the impossibility of properly decoding words.The problem of access to vocabulary improvement is exacerbated for the deaf community and people with visual disabilities. The aggravation is because they do not exist in the Ecuadorian environment, dictionaries that offer information from the Ecuadorian lexicon not defined in general dictionaries and that, at the same time, contribute to the interpretation of sign language for the deaf community or that meets the standards of inclusion necessary to facilitate reading in users with visual disabilities.In this context, part of our work will be focused on determining which is the lexicon of Ecuadorian speech that deaf people do not know. We consider as a hypothesis that the lexicon unknown by deaf people mostly comprises terms with abstract or very localized references.In addition, we propose to propose the structure of the design of a technological platform of the dictionary. This web application would present the set of lexical entries defined in Spanish and expanded with an author appointment, accompanied by an image of the referent and a video with sign language interpretation of both the definition and the appointment. Each dictionary entry will offer automatic reading on the screen for the accessibility of no seers. The dictionary macrostructure will be composed of basic words and expressions of sign language to promote educational interest and facilitate and energize learning.The work will also be based on a methodology specialized in web applications such as OOHDM (Object Oriented Hypermedia Desing Methodology), on free tools for the manipulation of multimedia audio, video, and images such as Avidemux, Audacy, and Gimp respectively, in the Netbeans 14.0 development tool with JSF 2.0 framework. For integration with the database, PostgreSQL will be used.

Full textAbstract:
Red de Roles is an Educational Innovation Project that aims to raise awareness among Architecture students of the need to integrate into their work processes the demands, concerns and interests of the various agents involved in the social production of habitat. By applying role-playing techniques to an Architectural Design workshop (in collaboration with a class of Art History), a 'gamified' simulation is proposed. This implies successive work cycles in which students assume different roles and exchange verbal and graphic information. After a first pilot course, a critical evaluation of results is carried out in order to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the method. To this end, assessment is done over tables and analytical diagrams that quantify the levels of information transmission between the different roles and the quality of the work produced in each phase. Red de Roles es un Proyecto de Innovación Educativa que aspira a la toma de conciencia por parte del alumnado de Arquitectura sobre la necesidad de integrar en sus procesos de trabajo las demandas, inquietudes e intereses de los diversos agentes que intervienen en la producción social del hábitat. Mediante la aplicación de técnicas de role-play a un taller de Proyectos (en colaboración con la asignatura de Historia del Arte), se plantea una simulación ‘gamificada’ en sucesivos ciclos de trabajo en la que los alumnos van asumiendo diferentes roles e intercambiando información verbal y gráfica. Tras un primer curso piloto, se realiza una evaluación crítica de resultados con el objetivo de identificar las debilidades y fortalezas del método. Para ello, se trabaja sobre tablas y diagramas analíticos en los que se cuantifican los niveles de transmisión de información entre los diferentes roles, así como la calidad de los trabajos producidos en cada fase.

Traditionally, text-to-speech has helped people overcome decoding difficulties with learning or hearing disabilities. Thanks to technological advances, consuming content in which learners use text and audio is more common. However, sign language allows an improvement in the transfer of knowledge and the integration of students with functional diversity. This tool allows the simultaneous translation into sign language of the teacher or speaker and dynamizes the learning of this by the classmates, improving the possibilities of socialization and exchange. In order to test the functionality of the application, a pilot test was carried out with the students of the Teaching Degree in the Special Educational Needs specialty in five face-to-face sessions. Among the contents that these students must acquire is the knowledge of sign language, valuing the application as very useful for learning and classroom use of this tool. It can also be used to promote communication between professionals in the workplace. In conclusion, we can highlight creating a tool for simultaneous translation into sign language applicable to the educational and socio-labor fields.

Full textAbstract:
Even before the corona pandemic broke out in 2020, the role of digitalisation became more and more apparent within Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) processes. Since the pandemic,intermediary organisations that bridge the distance between academia and the world of business to pave the way for successful university-industry linkages have not primarily been able to build on face-to-face-encounters to create those relations. Based on an ongoing research project, this paper examines how digitally mediated communications potentially enhance or limit knowledge and technology transfer that is primarily based on face-to-face interactions.On the one hand, the use of digitally mediated communications seem to foster the spatial expansion of networks, save travel times and costs and foster a special form of social inclusion. University-industry-relations, on the other hand,still rely on a positive evaluation of face-to-face contacts and geographical proximity for trust to develop between heterogeneous partners. Here, actors with bridging functions like transfer scouts are vital in enabling a regular communicative exchange to create commitment, social cohesion and cooperation in digital contexts. Although the relevance of digitalised transfer processes has been increasing over time, an important set of activities, involving face-to-face contacts and co-location, currently still plays a major role for transfer intermediaries in university-industry-relations.
