Based on research, we studied the state ownership in publicly listed Chinese firms, and develop an empirical test of the relationship between state ownership and firm performance. We demonstrate the importance of some unique Chinese factors to understanding organizational behavior in China. The study indicates that the predictive validity of Western theories could be improved by taking into account the effects of fief-specific factors. We propose hypotheses that are relevant to this issue, and test them with empirical data collected from formerly state-owned firms in China’s manufacturing industries. The results support the hypothesized effects of fief-specific factors. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the research findings.

The Relationship

This chapter considers how young people’s involvement in a local or virtual music scene can be important in terms of providing them with a sense of self-worth and esteem. Although the topic of music scenes has been comprehensively researched in academic scholarship, the connection between scene membership and physical and psychological wellbeing has not to date been a topic of focus. The chapter draws on original empirical data generated during interviews with young people in Margaret River, Western Australia, in 2016–17. Although our research findings originate from a localized source, they can be extrapolated to broader debates concerning the relationship between young people, music, and wellbeing.

PurposeRecently, a growing need for harmony has been observed worldwide. Harmony is a universal value in both Western and Asian countries. This paper aims to study how the concept of harmony is reflected in the innovation of European multinational grocery retailers and how harmony-related innovations affect the financial performance of the retailers.Design/methodology/approachThe research is based on a multisource database including innovation outcomes and financial performance indicators of 17 European multinational grocery retailers in the period of 2011–2018. In sum, 1,399 innovations were identified by content analysis. The relationship between innovation outcomes and financial performance was measured by panel regression analysis.FindingsResults indicate that retailers differ in launching harmony-oriented innovations. Moreover, 40% more innovations are related to harmony with people as those related to harmony with nature. Finally, harmony-with-people innovations have a significantly positive effect on retailers' sales growth.Practical implicationsBased on the research findings, retailers can improve their sales growth by launching innovations that focus on harmony in human relationships.Originality/valueThis paper extended the concept of harmony to the field of innovations.

Purpose Research findings are ambiguous regarding the effects of age on sustainable labour participation (SLP), defined as the extent to which people are able and willing to conduct their current and future work. The purpose of this paper is to contribute by examining age effects on SLP by focusing on the moderating role of workload. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-method study was conducted in 2018. First, a survey was distributed among a sample of 2,149 employees of the Dutch central government. Second, 12 interviews with public sector employees took place to gain greater insight into the quantitative data collected. Findings Three components that reflect an employee’s SLP were studied: vitality, work ability and employability. The quantitative results, in general, showed that SLP decreased with ageing. However, in contrast to the hypothesis, the results showed a significant positive relationship between age and energy. Moreover, relationships between an employee’s age and certain aspects of their SLP were moderated by workload. The interviews helped to interpret these results. Practical implications The findings demonstrate that some of the older worker stereotypes are unfounded, and the important practical implications of these are discussed. Originality/value Earlier research has produced conflicting findings regarding the relationship between age and (aspects of) SLP. By investigating several aspects of SLP in separate regressions within this research, the specific influences of age have become clearer. Furthermore, the research provides fresh insights into the relationship between age and SLP by including moderating effects of workload.

Servant leadership has become an increasingly popular construct in organizational behavior research because of its effectiveness in organizations. Using self-determination theory and broaden-and-build theory, we proposed a moderated mediation framework in which the leader's sense of accomplishment would mediate the relationship between servant leadership behaviors and the leader's innovative behavior. The leader's extraversion was used as the boundary condition of the relationship. Participants comprised 232 leaders and their immediate supervisors, working in firms based in northern China. Results show that servant leadership behaviors indirectly influenced leaders' innovative behavior via their sense of accomplishment. In addition, leaders' extraversion strengthened the impact of sense of accomplishment on their innovative behavior, as well as the indirect effect of servant leadership behaviors on their innovative behavior. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Purpose This study aims to explore the relationship between top management characteristics and intellectual capital (IC) performance of small companies. Design/methodology/approach This research offers an empirical investigation into a unique sample of 135 small Italian companies, which have been recognised as meeting legal values. This study uses a regression analysis to test whether CEO age, CEO connections and management team size affect IC performance. Findings Companies managed by CEOs with higher levels of connections and with a greater number of managers exhibit improved IC performance. In addition, this study provides evidence that companies with older CEOs demonstrate better IC efficiency. Research limitations/implications This study does not consider all top management-specific factors and incentives that may affect IC performance and uses a limited sample of companies. Practical implications This study suggests that increased network activity and larger management teams are beneficial for small companies to improve the efficiency of IC used. Originality/value The work offers novel empirical evidence to understand what governance and management-specific factors affect the efficiency in managing IC assets in small companies.

The relationship between job satisfaction and time is a fundamental question in organizational behavior. Yet given inconsistent results in the literature, the nature of this relationship has remained unresolved. Scholars’ understanding of this relationship has been limited because studies have generally not simultaneously considered the two primary time metrics in job satisfaction research—age and tenure—and have instead relied on cross-sectional research designs. In this study, we develop and test an empirical model to provide a more definitive answer to the question of how age and tenure relate to job satisfaction. Our analyses draw on longitudinal data from 21,670 participants spanning a total of 34 waves of data collection across 40 years in two nationally representative samples. Multilevel analyses indicate that people became less satisfied as their tenure within a given organization increased, yet as people aged—and transitioned from organization to organization—their satisfaction increased. We also found that job rewards, as exemplified by pay, mediated these relationships. We discuss empirical, theoretical, and practical implications of our findings.

A framework for technological and organizational capability audits is proposed, and the relevance of integrating technology and organization and product competitiveness of Chinese firms is then examined. Empirical data were acquired through a recent study of innovative firms from Beijing, China. An organization-technology map and statistical analyses are used to verify five hypotheses in order to identify the relationship amongst product competitiveness and integration of technology and organization. The results effectively verify the positive relationship among technological innovation, organizational innovation and product competitiveness. The findings also reveal that integrated innovation between technology and organization is critical for the improvement of product competitiveness of Chinese firms.
