Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to identify the roles of trait affectivity and momentary moods in conflict frames and conflict management. This paper goes beyond affect induction and focuses on the affective – rather than rational – antecedents of the choice of conflict management strategy.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper adopts a within- and between-person approach and uses hierarchical linear modeling to test the hypotheses with group-mean centering. Over the course of 12 days within a three-week period, the authors collected participants’ momentary moods and how they thought about and would respond to conflict scenarios. Data were gathered from 1,545 observations, involving 180 individuals.

Findings

After controlling for anger raised from the conflict scenario, both positive trait affectivity and positive momentary moods were found to be positively related to a compromise frame. Surprisingly, neither negative trait affectivity nor momentary mood was related to the win frame. A compromise frame predicted a cooperative strategy, and a win frame predicted a competitive strategy. The relationships between trait and momentary affects and conflict management strategy were partially mediated by conflict frame, but only for positive affects.

Practical implications

If seeking a constructive resolution, choose the right person (i.e. an individual with positive trait affectivity) and the right moment (i.e. the individual is in a positive mood state) to communicate disagreements.

Originality/value

This paper sheds light on the prediction of conflict frame and conflict management behavior by testing trait affectivity and momentary mood simultaneously.

This study aims to investigate how the frame orientation format and visual content of tourism short videos interact to influence tourists’ travel intention.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate how the frame orientation format and visual content of tourism short videos interact to influence tourists’ travel intention.

Design/methodology/approach

Two scenario-based experiments were designed and conducted through Credamo. The researchers enrolled 187 participants for Study 1 using convenience sampling, measuring the impact of video frame orientation and visual content on travel intention by conducting a two-factor analysis of covariance. Study 2 retested the interaction effect using 237 sample data and conducted bootstrapping to examine the serially mediating effect of imagery fluency and travel inspiration.

Findings

Frame orientation formats and visual content interactively affect the video audience’s travel intention: For site-centric tourism short videos, the horizontal frame orientation format can help inspire audiences’ travel intention; However, for activity-centric tourism short videos, the vertical frame orientation format is more suitable. Imagery fluency and travel inspiration have serially mediated effects in the above interactions.

Practical implications

Destination marketers can use a combination of vertical format and activity-centric content (or horizontal format and site-centric content) to ensure the marketing effectiveness of short videos.

Originality/value

This study explores how frame orientation and visual content interact to influence video audiences’ travel intention. The findings challenge the traditional understanding of frame orientation selection in short videos, provide a meaningful extension of construal-level theory and contribute to the research on visual effects in short tourism videos.

目的

本文旨在研究旅游短视频的画面方向格式和视觉内容如何交互影响游客的出游意愿。

设计/方法/途径

本研究利用见数平台开展了两个情景实验。实验1招募了187名被试者, 利用双因素方差分析测量了视频画面方向和视觉内容对出游意愿的交互效应。实验2利用237个样本数复测了交互效应, 并验证了图像流畅性和旅游灵感对上述交互效应的链式中介作用。

研究发现

框架方向格式和视觉内容交互影响视频受众的旅游意向:对于以景点为中心的旅游短视频而言, 水平方向的画面形式有助于激发受众的出游意愿; 但对于以活动为中心的旅游短视频而言, 垂直方向的画面形式更为适合。在上述交互作用中, 图像流畅度和旅游灵感具有链式中介效应。

实践意义

目的地营销人员可以将垂直格式和以活动为中心的内容(或水平格式和以景点为中心的内容)结合起来使用, 以确保短视频的营销效果。

原创性/价值

本研究探讨了框架取向和视觉内容如何相互作用并影响视频受众的出游意愿。研究结果挑战了关于短视频中画面方向选择的传统理解, 为旅游短视频构图相关理论提供了有意义的延伸, 并为旅游短视频中视觉效果的研究做出了贡献。

Propósito

Este estudio investiga cómo el formato de orientación del marco y el contenido visual de los vídeos cortos turísticos interactúan para influir en la intención de viaje de los turistas.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Se diseñaron y llevaron a cabo dos experimentos basados en escenarios a través de Credamo. Los investigadores reclutaron a 187 participantes para el Estudio 1 mediante un muestreo de conveniencia, y midieron el impacto de la orientación del fotograma de vídeo y el contenido visual en la intención de viajar realizando un análisis de covarianza de dos factores. El Estudio 2 volvió a probar el efecto de interacción utilizando 237 datos de muestra y realizó bootstrapping para examinar el efecto de mediación en serie de la fluidez de las imágenes y la inspiración para viajar.

Conclusiones

Los formatos de orientación de los fotogramas y el contenido visual influyen de forma interactiva en la intención de viajar del público del vídeo: Para los vídeos turísticos de corta duración centrados en un lugar, el formato de orientación horizontal puede ayudar a inspirar la intención de viajar del público; sin embargo, para los vídeos turísticos de corta duración centrados en una actividad, el formato de orientación vertical es más adecuado. La fluidez de las imágenes y la inspiración para viajar tienen efectos mediados en serie en las interacciones mencionadas.

Implicaciones practices

Los responsables de marketing de destinos pueden utilizar una combinación de formato vertical y contenido centrado en la actividad (o formato horizontal y contenido centrado en el sitio) para garantizar la eficacia de marketing de los vídeos cortos.

Originalidad/valor

Este estudio explora cómo la orientación del encuadre y el contenido visual interactúan para influir en la intención de viaje de los espectadores de vídeos. Los resultados cuestionan la interpretación tradicional de la selección de la orientación del encuadre en los vídeos cortos, proporcionan una ampliación significativa de la teoría del nivel de construcción y contribuyen a la investigación sobre los efectos visuales en los vídeos turísticos cortos.

Abstract

The development of incoming international document delivery services (incoming IDDS) in Taiwan is described, including the coverage and performance of the current players, libraries and information brokers, and the potential users’ awareness and expectations. Evidently there is space for libraries and brokers to grow, since the level of potential users’ awareness is low, and the current incoming IDDS cannot totally meet potential users’ requirements of speeds and fees. The players most likely to be successful in expanding the market will be those with efficient services to meet current and potential users’ expectations and marketing strategies designed to attract new users

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the problem of information and knowledge management (IKM) in higher education institutions. The research aims to determine the way in which the knowledge resources of a higher education institution are managed. The author intends to define how the information system is shaped and how information and knowledge are used in the reporting processes and for decision-making efficiency.

Design/methodology/approach

In total, 38 university administration employees from six higher education institutions in Poland participated in the study. Information barriers and benefits resulting from the implementation of the central reporting system “POL-on” were identified by using the sense-making technique. The purpose of the interviews was to determine the procedural and behavioural conditions of the reporting and decision-making processes in higher education institutions in Poland.

Findings

This paper suggests four characteristics of IKM in higher education institutions. A link between the information culture of the institution, its size and structure as well as the adopted model of IKM is demonstrated.

Originality/value

The main contribution of this paper is to introduce a framework for studying the IKM in higher education institutions from the perspective of information culture. Higher education institutions have developed different styles of striving for efficiency regarding decision making and reporting in administration. The IM and KM are now proved to be an integrated process in administrative activities of higher education institutions.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of enterprise is influenced by the enterprise digital transformation. In addition, this study explains how enterprise digital transformation affects ESG performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The sample covers 4,646 nonfinancial companies listed on China’s A-share market from 2009 to 2021. The study adopts the fixed-effects multiple linear regression to perform the data analysis.

Findings

The study finds that enterprise digital transformation has a significant inverted U-shaped impact on ESG performance. Moderate digital transformation can improve enterprise ESG performance, whereas excessive digital transformation will bring new organizational conflicts and increase enterprise costs, which is detrimental to ESG performance. This inverted U-shaped effect is more pronounced in industrial cities, manufacturing industries and enterprises with less financing constraints and executives with financial backgrounds. Enterprise digital transformation mainly affects ESG performance by affecting the level of internal information communication and disclosure, the level of internal control and the principal-agent cost.

Practical implications

The government should take multiple measures to encourage enterprises to choose appropriate digital transformation based on their own production behaviors and development strategies, encourage them to innovate and upgrade their organizational management and development models in conjunction with digital transformation and guide them to use digital technology to improve ESG performance.

Social implications

This study shows that irrational digital transformation cannot effectively improve the ESG performance of enterprises and promote the sustainable development of the country. Enterprises should carry out reasonable digital transformation according to their own development needs and finally improve the green and sustainable development ability of enterprises and promote the sustainable development of society.

Originality/value

This study examines the relationship between enterprise digital transformation and ESG performance. Different from the linear relationship between the two in previous major studies, this study proves the inverse U-shaped relationship between enterprise digital transformation and ESG performance through mathematical theoretical model derivation and empirical test. This study also explores in detail how corporate digital transformation affects ESG performance, as well as discusses heterogeneity at the city, industry and firm levels. It is proposed that enterprises should take into account their own characteristics and carry out reasonable digital transformation according to their development needs.
