A Chain

There are two streams of behavior—negative and positive—that have the same baseline (i.e., departure from norms) leading to deviant behavior, but these are not integrated. Constructive deviants are employees who break the rules and norms but intend to benefit the organization. They lead to violation of norms but also to positive impact on organizational growth. The author discusses the types of behavior that help the organization in achieving the goals and explore the causes or factors that relate to constructive deviance. Also, dysfunctional behavior like workplace aggression leads to destructive workplace deviance and will be explained with their impact on organization working. The occurrence of destructive deviant behavior imparts a chain of worrying negative outcome in the workplace. The author will provide an integrated approach that is how one type of deviance is related to another type of deviance in the workplace. The author has explained the existence of relationship between employee personality traits and workplace deviant behavior.

The Impact

This research-based study investigated empirically the impact of agreeableness personality traits to workplace deviant behavior in employees working in different organizations. We collected data through cross-sectional method from 290 employees who can read and understand English. Previous studies conducted related to these constructs confirmed that questionnaires in English language are appropriate for data collection. Correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data because it fulfills the purpose related to this research. The study found that agreeable personality trait is negatively related to workplace deviance or employees with agreeableness personality trait remain focused on their job in organization. Or employees who are low in agreeableness trait are likely to exhibit deviant work behavior at work-setting. The study suggested that organizations should consider personality traits while hiring new employees. This practice will reduce workplace deviant behavior in the work setting of organizations.

Innovative Behaviors

Purpose This study aims to build on the trait activation and interactionist perspective theories to investigate the effect of frontline employees’ (FLEs) willingness to take risks on hotel guest loyalty by assessing the mediating role of their innovative behaviors. It also examines whether decentralization strengthens the positive impact of willingness to take risks on innovative behavior and, subsequently, customer loyalty. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected multilevel data from various sources – hotel FLEs (n = 183), hotel operation managers (n = 46) and hotel guests/customers (n = 266) – from five-star hotels operating in Dubai. Structural equation modeling and PROCESS macro (version 3.5) were used to analyze the data. Findings The findings showed that willingness to take risks indirectly (via innovative behaviors) affects guest/customer loyalty positively. This effect is strengthened when the hotel is decentralized. Practical implications This study provides insight into how hotel managers can foster customer loyalty. More specifically, they can do so by establishing employees’ innovative behaviors triggered by employees’ positive personality traits and by giving employees more autonomy. Originality/value The present study addresses recent calls to investigate the positive impact of FLEs’ personality traits, attitudes and behaviors on customer loyalty.

PurposePersonality traits are assumed to influence cognitive processes as well as academic motivation and learning approaches of the students. Based on these assumptions, the present study investigates the association of HEXACO personality traits with academic motivation as well as influence of those traits on students' learning approaches in educational contexts.Design/methodology/approachSelf-reported measures of personality orientation, academic motivation and learning approaches were obtained from 404 respondents in a classroom environment. The SPSS 20 software was used to conduct the correlations and the hierarchical regression analyses. The Eviews 10 software was used to develop the structural equation model to find the inter-relations among the study variables.FindingsThe findings reveal the influence of personality traits on academic motivation and learning approaches of the students. Among different personality traits, consciousness appeared to have highly positive impact on deep learning and intrinsic motivation of the studies. Neuroticism appeared to have most negative impact related to surface learning and amotivation of the learning contents.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings validates the existence of HEXACO personality traits among the students in central Asian context. It future reiterated individual differences in learning strategies and learning motivation among the learners. The results may help academics and policy makers take appropriate measures to increase academic motivation and select appropriate learning approaches.Originality/valueThis is one of the pioneer studies to investigate the relationship between HEXACO personality traits, learning strategies and academic motivation. Validation of the HEXACO framework will help to understand students' personality in a more detailed and elaborative way and will contribute to the existing literature on personality and learning outcomes.

Purpose Big data analytics (BDA) guarantees that data may be analysed and categorised into useful information for businesses and transformed into big data related-knowledge and efficient decision-making processes, thereby improving performance. However, the management of the knowledge generated from the BDA as well as its integration and combination with firm knowledge have scarcely been investigated, despite an emergent need of a structured and integrated approach. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach Through an empirical analysis based on structural equation modelling with data collected from 88 Italian SMEs, the authors tested if BDA capabilities have a positive impact on firm performances, as well as the mediator effect of knowledge management (KM) on this relationship. Findings The findings of this paper show that firms that developed more BDA capabilities than others, both technological and managerial, increased their performances and that KM orientation plays a significant role in amplifying the effect of BDA capabilities. Originality/value BDA has the potential to change the way firms compete through better understanding, processing, and exploiting of huge amounts of data coming from different internal and external sources and processes. Some managerial and theoretical implications are proposed and discussed in light of the emergence of this new phenomenon.

The Impact

The current study was heading for determining the impact of Pakistani university students’ socioeconomic classes on their personality traits. Demographic and personality questionnaires were filled by available university students online. The stepwise regression technique facilitated to generate regression models to define impacts of different socioeconomic classes on students’ different personality traits. Different regression models highlighted the significant negative impacts of the middle upper socioeconomic class on Agreeableness, Extraversion and Neuroticism personality traits. The lower socioeconomic class was found to have positive impact on only one personality sub-trait self-discipline. Whereas, the upper lower socioeconomic class caused positive impacts on students’ trust sub-trait, Conscientiousness trait and negative impact on excitement seeking sub-trait of personality. The importance of these impacts of socioeconomic classes on different personality traits and the possible implications are discussed with respect to university students’ academic performance and academic behaviour.

Using Data

The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of consumer sentiments on purchase intention toward foreign products and to determine which personality traits are responsible for the formation of consumer sentiments. In this study, we employed Structural Equation Modeling to test the research model using data collected from a survey of 400 young Vietnamese consumers in Ho Chi Minh City. The results provide empirical evidence of the positive impact of consumer cosmopolitanism and xenocentrism on consumers’ purchase intention toward foreign products. Furthermore, through this study, we indicated that certain personality traits shape consumer sentiments. Generally speaking, in the context of foreign consumption, there is an enhanced link between personality traits and purchase intention via the mediating role of consumer sentiments. Theoretical and managerial implications are also discussed.

BACKGROUND In China, for most diabetic patients, wearable activity trackers are an innovative product that has not yet been generally accepted and used. Many studies have proved personality traits to affect patients' self-management behavior with chronic diseases, the willingness to adopt medical services, and willingness to use mobile healthcare equipment. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the influence of personality traits of type 2 diabetes patients on the use intention of the intelligent wearable device -- wearable activity trackers METHODS A self-designed questionnaire and Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory brief version (CBF-PI-B) were used to investigate type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from 22 community health service stations affiliated to 4 community health service centers in Tongzhou District and Shunyi District of Beijing. RESULTS A total of 728 cases were included in this study. Monofactor analysis indicated differences between patients with different genders in neuroticism, individual innovation, and behavioral intention, differences between patients with different ages in neuroticism, openness, individual innovation, and privacy concerns, differences between patients with different degree of education in openness, extraversion, perceived ease of use, the individual innovation and social image, and differences between patients with different income levels in openness, extraversion, perceived ease of use and individual innovation. The structural equation showed that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, social image, and privacy concern had direct effects on behavioral intention (β=0.158, 0.223, 0.151, -0.657). Neuroticism had a positive impact on social image and privacy concerns (β=0.144, 0.154). Conscientiousness and openness had a positive influence on perceived ease of use (β=0.147, 0.142). Agreeableness showed negative impacts on both perceived ease of use and privacy concerns (β=-0.108, -0.251). Openness and extroversion both had a positive impact on individual innovation (β=0.149, 0.180) while openness generated a positive influence on social image (β=0.189). CONCLUSIONS Different personality traits had influences on individual innovation, privacy concerns and social image, and indirectly affect patients’ intention to use wearable activity trackers. Therefore, personalized guidance and health education could be carried out according to different personality traits when using intelligent wearable devices in the intervention of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Pedagogical Innovations

Research on faculty development supporting pedagogical innovation has gained momentum since effective teaching and learning are deemed a central piece for the modernization of higher education. However, the field is still characterized by a low level of conceptualization, fragmented approaches, and unclear strategies on organizational level. This chapter concentrates on the DIDe-L case, a strategic program of faculty development promoted by the University of Florence and based on an integrated approach to training. Specifically, it focuses on the “e-Learning Desk,” an institutional service ensuring instructional coaching for learning design. Through the analysis of teachers' reactions and renewed practices, the authors aim at exploring what institutional and organizational conditions may prevent or facilitate pedagogical innovation and change. Results showed that the approach characterizing the service had a positive impact on teachers' growth, although institutional obstacles like lack of recognition or support still prevent teachers to fully deploy pedagogical innovations.

The chapter focuses on the various antecedents to workplace deviance that exist in general and specifically on how employee engagement can lead to reduced workplace deviance. It explores the typical characteristics workplace deviance and its various manifestations exhibited by employees of the organisation. Using intensive literature review the factors leading to employee deviant behavior are identified. The behavior is further justified by theory of distributive justice and theory of relative deprivation. The drivers of employee engagements like “Job Satisfaction,” “Family Friendliness,” “Equal Opportunities,” “Fair Treatment,” “Performance and Appraisal,” “Training Development and Career,” etc. are successfully mapped with the theories of deprived justice to address the deviance problem.
