This chapter combines three less-studied factors on employee knowledge sharing, namely, social relationship, contextual performance, and IT competence. Using a survey study that was targeted to professional employees in a R&D department, we reveal that both social relationship—which incorporates degree of centrality of employee's social network and frequency of interpersonal interaction—and employee's contextual performance have significant positive impacts on knowledge sharing. This association, however, is found to be further positively moderated by employee's IT competence. Our work extends the literature pertaining to knowledge sharing by, not only providing an enhanced approach to measure social relationship, but also emphasizing that social relationship or contextual performance can magnify the impact on knowledge sharing through a high level of IT competence. The findings provide managerial and future research insights pertaining to promoting knowledge sharing by enhancing social relationship, rewarding contextual performance, and improving IT competence of employees.

Abstract Social norms play an important role in our understanding of why people vote, yet very little is known about the relative importance of descriptive and injunctive norms for voter turnout or how normative influence is affected by the political and social relationship between citizens. Using political discussion network data from the British Election Study, this article examines the joint effect of descriptive and injunctive norms on turnout. It demonstrates that citizens follow the example of those closest to them (descriptive norms), especially their partner, but they also respond to social approval of voting from political discussants regardless of the nature of their relationship.

This article explores the paradigm of Food Well-Being (FWB), “a positive psychological, physical, emotional, and social relationship with food,” for those who experience hunger. Building on the insights derived from two sources—research across a range of disciplines including marketing and the practices of the nonprofit Hunger Task Force to alleviate hunger and advance FWB—the authors explore the five domains of FWB: food availability, food socialization, food literacy, food marketing, and food policy as they relate to people who experience hunger. The authors establish a research contribution by extending the FWB paradigm to include people experiencing hunger and by applying this extended paradigm to illuminate the impact of hunger on people’s FWB. Finally, the authors propose research to guide researchers, policy makers, and nonprofits toward generating FWB for all.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consolidate the antecedents of electronic word of mouth (eWOM). Thereafter, it examines the impact of eWOM and its antecedents on consumer-based brand equity (CBBE). Design/methodology/approach A total of 93 research articles on eWOM and CBBE were critically reviewed using the systematic literature review method. Findings This study has consolidated the antecedents of eWOM from the extant literature. It has identified eight antecedents of eWOM including information or argument quality, loyalty, social relationship, source quality, satisfaction, subjective norms, and information quantity. This study has come out with a conceptual framework, followed by 16 hypotheses addressing the possible relationships between eWOM, its antecedents, and CBBE. Originality/value This study pioneers to examine the impact of the antecedents of eWOM on CBBE through an exhaustive review of contemporary literature. It has also explored the possibility of eWOM acting as a mediator between the antecedents of eWOM and CBBE. Therefore, this study unravels a wide array of directions for researchers to examine the relationships between the constructs mentioned above and CBBE.

Las tasas de sedentarismo y obesidad infantil preocupan a nivel internacional. En España existe un incremento alarmante de obesidad infanto-juvenil, que alcanza el 15.9% en niños de 6 a 9 años. La escolarización obligatoria tiene el potencial de paliar esta pandemia y de promover hábitos activos entre los escolares con un esfuerzo y coste relativamente bajos. Para ello es preciso implementar programas de intervención y estrategias eficaces. El presente estudio revisa la evidencia de investigación que ha analizado el impacto de las intervenciones durante los periodos de recreo aplicadas en educación primaria en la dimensión física (actividad física), intrapersonal (p. ej., motivación, comportamiento, actitudes) e interpersonal (p. ej., relación social). Los programas multicomponente (varias estrategias de intervención) y aquellos que atienden a diversos estratos de factores influyentes resultan más eficaces y completos que las intervenciones unicomponente (solo una estrategia). Se sugieren implicaciones prácticas para gestores y docentes de centros escolares. The increase in sedentary and child obesity rates worries internationally. Data from Spain reveal an alarming increase in the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity, which reaches 15.9% in children aged 6 to 9 years. Compulsory schooling has the potential to alleviate this pandemic and to promote active habits among all schoolchildren, with a relatively low effort and cost. This requires the implementation of intervention programs and effective strategies. This study reviews the research evidence that has analyzed the impact of interventions on recess time applied in primary schools not only at a physical level (physical activity) but also at the intrapersonal (e.g., motivation, behavior, individual attitudes, etc.) and interpersonal level (e.g., social relationship).  It is concluded that multi-component programs (several intervention strategies) and those that serve different strata of influencing factors are more effective and complete than uni-component interventions (only one strategy). Finally, practical implications are suggested for principals and teachers.

This study provides insight into how social relationships perspective influence on online Word-of-Mouth and knowledge sharing on social networking sites (SNSs). By using the sample from 385 Egyptian college students - who spend more time on SNSs, this study investigates the relationship among the use of SNSs, users' social Relationships, online Word-of-Mouth, and knowledge sharing. Partial Least Square (PLS) was utilized to examine the hypotheses through a questionnaire designed on the Likert seven-point scale. The results indicated that the intensity of usage of SNSs is a positively related with social relationship factors which has a positive effect on online WOM; in addition, online WOM has positively significant influence on knowledge sharing. The results also indicated that male students are found to have more social relationship than female counterparts do. Male students feel more strongly about knowledge sharing when they perceive that online WOM communication is good.

AbstractThe significance of the kinship relationship between the mother's brother and sister's son (avunculate) was one of the most discussed topics in the history of social anthropology. Two theories of pre-Schneiderian age – descent and alliance approaches – both consider avuncular relations as being tense and contradictive, associated with certain privileges of the maternal uncle and his senior hierarchical position in relation to Ego. This paper tries to establish the relevance of this classical anthropological theme to contemporary social and political realities in Buriad society, specifically to extend the discussion of the classificatory/metaphorical use of avuncular kinship terminology to a new context – that of diaspora relationships with homeland and host society. A recent tendency in kinship studies argues that kinship terminology can be employed flexibly to handle relationships of various kinds, and suggests that kinship terms should often be understood as referring to a kind of social relationship rather than to a specifically genealogical connection. Two cases, which I present in the paper, show how Buriad diaspora communities in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia (China) involve the avuncular relationship to define their concerns and tensions in relation both to colonisers in the homeland in Russia and to the social inequality of migrants in their host societies. This local phenomenon shows that kinship terminology continues to have a wider social significance, being used, for example, to express current inequalities of power and the impact of political changes on local experience.

Robotic applications have entered various aspects of our lives, such as health care and educational services. In such Human-robot Interaction (HRI), trust and mutual adaption are established and maintained through a positive social relationship between a user and a robot. This social relationship relies on the perceived competence of a robot on the social-emotional dimension. However, because of technical limitations and user heterogeneity, current HRI is far from error-free, especially when a system leaves controlled lab environments and is applied to in-the-wild conditions. Errors in HRI may either degrade a user’s perception of a robot’s capability in achieving a task (defined as performance errors in this work) or degrade a user’s perception of a robot’s socio-affective competence (defined as social errors in this work). The impact of these errors and effective strategies to handle such an impact remains an open question. We focus on social errors in HRI in this work. In particular, we identify the major attributes of perceived socio-affective competence by reviewing human social interaction studies and HRI error studies. This motivates us to propose a taxonomy of social errors in HRI. We then discuss the impact of social errors situated in three representative HRI scenarios. This article provides foundations for a systematic analysis of the social-emotional dimension of HRI. The proposed taxonomy of social errors encourages the development of user-centered HRI systems, designed to offer positive and adaptive interaction experiences and improved interaction outcomes.

Phubbing is defined as ignoring people with whom you have a face-to-face relationship to attend to smartphones. The phenomenon of phubbing particularly affects the teenage and young segments of the population. The main problem lies in the impact it has on individuals’ social relationship. A lack of validated instruments to diagnose this phenomenon has been observed amongst the Spanish-speaking youth. The objective pursued with this research was to analyse the structural validity and reliability of the Spanish scale in a sample of 454 Peruvian university students. A reliability study was carried out following Cronbach and McDonald, complemented with an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The results show good reliability and validity values. Finally, some aspects associated with users’ profiles in relation to the scale were discussed too. A need exists to have adapted instruments which permit to measure emerging social threats such as phubbing, so that risk profiles can be identified and for us to be able to act in time. Most of the students surveyed regularly engaged in phubbing, and a significant percentage of them had personal and social problems because of this, including lack of sleep hours or arguments with friends and relatives, to quote but two.

AbstractCombining interaction rates of different social behaviours into social relationship indices to represent the structure of dyadic relationships on one underlying dimension is common practice in animal sociality studies. However, the properties of these relationship indices are not well explored – mainly because, for real-world social systems, the ‘true’ value of relationships is unobservable. Here, we use simulation studies to estimate the accuracy and precision of three relationship indices: the Dyadic Composite Sociality Index, the Composite Relationship Index, and the Dynamic Dyadic Sociality Index. We simulated one year of social interactions for multiple groups of 25 individuals and 4 interaction types with different properties, and tested the impact of different focal follow regimes, data densities and sampling conditions on the representation of social relationships. Accuracy and precision of social relationship indices were strongly driven by sample size, similar to simple interaction rates. Under the assumption that there was a clear, one-dimensional relationship underlying interactions, and that different interaction types constituting an index were highly correlated, indices indeed increased accuracy over single interaction rates for small sample sizes. Including uninformative constituting behaviours (i.e., those not highly correlated with the underlying relationship dimension) reduced the accuracy of all indices. The precision of each index (i.e., whether multiple simulated focal follow regimes achieve the same dyadic values for the same data) was generally poor and was driven by the precision of the least precise constituting behaviour, making them less precise than some single interaction rates. Our results showed that social relationship indices do not remove the need to have sufficient data for each individual constituting interaction type. Index quality was defined by the least accurate and precise constituting interaction type. Indices might only be useful if all constituting interaction rates are highly correlated and if there are clear indications that one dimension is sufficient to represent social relationships in a group.
