Marketing productivity models provide a common conceptual framework for future research. These models also define a common conceptual framework for the creation of instrumental models for marketing productivity management. At the same time, it is necessary to further study the most important relationship of marketing results with financial indicators and indicators of performance evaluation of the enterprise as a whole. The development of these models is associated with the creation of more complex systems that reflect the relationship of indicators at the level of management. Marketing productivity models form the conceptual framework for the transition to a more realistic level. This is the level of management of marketing efficiency, ie the area of creating models of management of marketing results. Following the logic of productivity (marketing actions - marketing results - financial results - business results), as well as the need to consider it in two dimensions, we can move on to the creation of operational models of marketing efficiency.

The present article aims to answer the question of whether creativity is universal or culture-specific. We develop a conceptual framework that expands the existing knowledge in two ways. First, it distinguishes between the two dimensions of creativity – novelty and usefulness, and their relationship to culture. Second, it clarifies how the social context moderates the relationship between culture and creativity. We focus on the social context where cultural differences are likely to be more salient because of the presence of others, relative to the private work context where no one observes whether a person performs in a normative or a unique way. In addition, we propose that task structure, whether a task is tightly or loosely structured, is an important contextual characteristic that moderates the relationship between culture and creativity. Lastly, we offer several propositions to guide future research.

This paper addresses the problem of cooperation between team members by describing two dimensions of elements, namely the physical and abstract dimension, to be focused on by all participants of a systems development team. A conceptual framework is introduced which describes these two dimensions. In the second part of the paper the nature of and theory behind sound relationships between team members of software projects are examined. The conceptual framework shows the position and relationship of each element during systems development process. This conceptual framework helps managers to understand the complexity of such relationships and it gives a structured view of the role of the elements of the two dimensions during systems development.

The author reviews the empirical literature concerning the relationship of women's multiple roles to mental health. A conceptual framework is proposed postulating that negative mental health outcomes may result from high levels of stress and demands across roles and a low level of agency or control over those demands. Suggestions for future research within this model as well as implications for clinical practice are presented.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate impact of transformational leadership on team performance and the effects of support for innovation and psychological empowerment in this association. Over the past many decades, teams have become an increasingly popular way of organizing and coordinating work. This trend creates new challenges for leaders, as they are expected to motivate individual employees and to improve team performance simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach – This study proposes a conceptual framework for understanding motivation and support extended to individual employees which would influence team performance. The conceptual framework includes psychological empowerment and support for innovation as mediating variables in the effect of transformational leadership on team performance. The study also validates the proposed conceptual framework using a second-order confirmatory factor analysis technique, namely, partial least squares-structural equations modeling, with the data collected from 182 followers from 10 service organizations in the UAE. Findings – The findings suggest that transformational leadership has significant positive impact on team performance and, on the contrary, transactional leadership has significant negative effect on team performance. Two dimensions of psychological empowerment such as meaning and self-determination have partial mediation effect in the relationship between transformational leadership and team performance. Originality/value – This study contributes to the research that identifies team mechanisms influenced by transformational leadership that can affect team success and performance, particularly in the context of UAE-based organizations. Managerial implications and future research areas are further discussed.

Goal. The purpose of this article consists in analyzation and systematization of the leading conceptual framework of brand management as well as in additional investigations of its influence on tourist destination development. Method. The methodological basis of the research is the basis of scientific dialectics. The main methods of research are the method of formalization, algorithm development, descriptive, analytical and synthetic. Results. Brand management is an actual area of scientific researches in the context of its role in tourism. The brand creates a difference of a trademark or service from competing ones, helps to increase sales and generally increases profits in the long-term perspective. Therefore, the formation of the brand requires the serious approaches and the involvement of skilled managers. The practice of tourist centers or territories brands creation is widely used now, which is fully justified, as the positive image of cities or regions contributes to the creation of additional profits from attracting new tourists. The main functions of the tourist destination brand are related to: - the formation of an individual image (image) of the destination, which distinguishes it from its competitors; - ensuring its recognition by choosing a market position for the tourist product of the destination; - confirmation of the quality of the tourist product of the destination; - a positive influence on the formation of corporate consciousness of the population of the tourist territory (region, destination). The key task of branding the tourist destination is to establish position and strengthen its strengths, which should serve as the basis for the formation of the brand. Specificity of branding of tourist territories as a complex of marketing actions undertaken by their management in cooperation with stakeholders (various stakeholders) for the creation and promotion of the brand is that: - the product of the destination is multifaceted, including a number of goods and services of various industries; - the management of the destination does not have full control over the marketing complexes (marketing mix); - teamwork is required taking into account the interests of all stakeholders; - significant influence is rendered by the policy of the country / region in the field of tourism. Practical significance. But the creation of the city's tourist brand is not chaotic. The process of its formation is under the influence of a number of regularities and principles that are considered in the article. Scientific novelty. Modern ways of promoting tourism product take place in the context of globalization and information society development and also increase competition for consumers. Crucial conditions for survival on rigid travel market are the need for concentration on a high-quality tourism product, able to satisfy the highest demands of modern tourism consumer, and promote itself to the market. Therefore, the process of creating a brand of tourist destination as well as investigations of its influence on positioning, identity and development of tourism destinations are represent the maim scientific novelty of this article.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.

Abstract. We developed a new instrument designed to measure fear of intimacy in romantic relationships. We suggest assessing fear of intimacy through two dimensions: self-revelation and dependence. The Fear of Intimacy Components Questionnaire (FICQ) was validated across three studies in which a 10-item solution systematically emerged. Consistently with a two component perspective, a two-factor solution fitted data the best: fear of losing the self (FLS) and fear of losing the other (FLO). Qualitative analyses verified content validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses tested the factor structure. Multigroup analyses supported the structural invariance across gender, age, and relationship status. Both factors showed adequate discriminant validity and internal consistency, and good 3-week period test-retest reliability. Associations between the FICQ and insecure attachment orientations demonstrated convergent validity. The association between the FICQ and relationship satisfaction above and beyond a preexisting measure offered criterion validity. By going beyond traditional self-revelation-focused conception of fear of intimacy, that is, by proposing a bi-dimensional structure to fear of intimacy, we believe that this new measure will contribute to future research on fear of intimacy.

This chapter examines the challenge for entrepreneurial companies of going beyond the start-up phase and growing into large successful companies. We examine the long-term financing of these so-called scale-up companies, focusing on the United States, Europe, and Canada. The chapter first provides a conceptual framework for understanding the challenges of financing scale-ups. It emphasizes the need for investors with deep pockets, for smart money, for investor networks, and for patient money. It then shows some data about the various aspects of financing scale-ups in the United States, Europe, and Canada, showing how Europe and Canada are lagging behind the US relatively more at the scale-up than the start-up stage. Finally, the chapter raises the question of long-term public policies for supporting the creation of a better scale-up environment.
