The results also revealed that the innovative climate positively affected employee innovation, as well as moderated the relationship between online knowledge sharing and employee innovation. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
We study the relative efficiency of outside-owned versus employee-owned firms and analyze implications for institutional change in a context of technological innovation. When decisions are made through majority voting, the vote on technology choice is used to influence the later vote on the sharing rule. We show how this dynamic voting generates a systematic technological bias that is contingent on firm ownership. We provide conditions under which the pivotal voter's political leverage leads the firm to an institutional trap whereby majority voting and inefficient technology choice reinforce each other, leading to institutional inertia.
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings A study of workers in the banking sector in Pakistan found a significant influence of perception of training on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). The study found no relationship between perception of training and organizational commitment, but OC partly mediated the effect of perception of training on OCB. Meanwhile, the results revealed that power distance moderates the impact of perception of training on organizational commitment.

Purpose The authors wanted to find out what characteristics leaders required to inspire their employees during times of crisis Design/methodology/approach The study was conducted in the Philippines after the Government declared the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in March, 2020. The authors found 155 participants (69% female) aged from 21 to 67 years old with an average of 37 from various sectors. The participants filled in online surveys with open-ended questions. The most important one was: “What traits or behaviors did your leaders exhibit during this crisis that were helpful to you and the organisation?” Qualitative analysis was used. Findings The authors divided the best qualities into three groups: The first was “attending to the person”; the second was “taking charge and showing the way”; the third was “sustaining the spirit”. Originality/value The authors felt their paper was important because it looked at employees’ perspectives, which was rare in earlier research. It also had practical implications, they said.
