The double-edge sword effect of interorganizational trust on involvement in interorganizational networks: The mediator role of affective commitment
2020
Abstract Some organizations collaborate with other partner organizations to reach common goals, establishing interorganizational networks. The governance of the network is often enacted by an interorganizational governing team composed of the directors or top managers of the partner firms. This team plans, manages, and supervises the advancement of the network’s common goals. The success of the network depends, to a large extent, on the involvement of the members of the governing team. In this study, we tested a multilevel model of the antecedents of the involvement of governing team members in the management activities of interorganizational networks. We examined whether the relationship b…

Analysis was conducted on data from 70 Finnish companies in the retail and metal industries and their 889 em…
Designing Transport Supporting Services Together with Users with Intellectual Disabilities
2020
Transportation is an important yet challenging aspect in terms of mobility for persons with intellectual disabilities (ID). Despite positive implications of designing services with users, persons with ID are rarely given the opportunity to be involved in such design processes. In this action design research (ADR) study we involve persons with ID in the design through observations, photovoice interviews and in a staged, yet naturalistic user enactments on a bus. Our research contributes with design insights on transport supporting services and insights on user involvement of persons with ID in ADR. The three ADR cycles showed that people with ID is a heterogenous group of users and as such e…

2021
AbstractIn emerging markets, instances of increasing consumers focus on ethical aspects of the product are observed. To this end, we aim to examine the influence of two ethical certifications and two product involvement types on consumers willingness to purchase ethical products at price premiums in the Indian market. No animal cruelty certification and no child labor certification are chosen as the ethical certifications, and a shirt and a bar of soap are chosen as high and low involvement product categories. Data is collected from 206 respondents for the experiment, in which consumers willingness to purchase a product is evaluated for different product scenarios. The results of the study …
On the evolution of e-Government: The user imperative
2003
Published version of a chapter published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2739, 139-143. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/10929179_25 This paper focuses the need for more research on user involvement and the investigation of stakeholders in e-Government initiatives. An investigation of existing work revealed a lack of research on those topics. As e-Government evolves and users mature, the value of their input can increase. The paper discusses the need and potential benefits of this approach. Finally, we suggest that existing stakeholder theory is investigated for adaptation into e-Government settings in order to map the complex body of interrelated stakeh…

Results show that value consciousness, purchase involvement, hedonic motivation and social influence explain mobile showrooming intention and mobile dependency moderates the impact of value consciousness on mobile showrooming intention. Our results…

Uz bērna personības stiprajām pusēm balstīta audzināšanas stila ietekme uz skolēnu akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem
2021
Vecāku loma bērnu akadēmiskajā, emocionālajā un fiziskajā attīstībā ir labi zināma visiem. Šajā pētījumā aplūkota saikne starp audzināšanas stiliem unto ietekmi uz studentu akadēmiskajiem sasniegumiem Azerbaidžānas kontekstā. Vecāku iesaistīšanās ietekme uz bērnu panākumiem ir plaši aplūkota literatūrā. Literatūrā vairāk uzmanības tiek pievērsts rietumu valstīm un vecākiem kā bērnu sociālekonomisko vajadzību nodrošinātājiem. Ir maz pētījumu par vecāku iesaistīšanos kā akadēmiskajiem starpniekiem, konkrētāk, vecāku lomu, lai vadītu bērnus viņu mācībās un dzīves lēmumos. Iedvesmojoties no pozitīvās psiholoģijas un autoritatīvas pieejas bērna attīstībai, tiek prezentēts jauns audzināšanas term…
