Abstract

Purpose

This study explores the key role of team-level leadership (TLL) in contemporary organizational dynamics and organizational cultural change (OCC).

Design/methodology/approach

Using a focus-group approach, in-depth sessions were conducted with 20 organizational leaders and team members. The study focused on identifying and analyzing key aspects of TLL within the framework of OCC.

Findings

The research shows that TLL significantly enhances agile decision-making and promotes inclusivity and empowerment among team members. Key findings highlight the importance of a strong organizational culture, clear alignment of team and organizational goals, and effective communication practices. These factors are essential for TLL to successfully drive and sustain OCC.

Originality/value

This study uniquely contributes to the academic literature by focusing on TLL as a critical driver of cultural change, a perspective that has been underexplored. It offers fresh insights into how TLL can be leveraged to navigate dynamic organizational environments and foster OCC.

Abstract

Purpose

To explain a recent US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) administrative proceeding targeting a broker-dealer as part of the Commission’s continuing efforts to enforce anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and reporting.

Design/methodology/approach

This article explores the factual and legal contours of a specific SEC administrative proceeding to better understand the affirmative steps the Commission expects of financial service providers as it relates to AML activities and reporting.

Findings

Given the SEC’s current enforcement focus, it is critical that financial institutions conduct their activities with a clear understanding of the AML regulations, investigatory expectations and related reporting requirements associated with the provision of brokerage and advisory services to US clients and customers.

Originality/value

This article highlights the SEC’s continuing interest in broker-dealer AML policies and compliance and provides analysis from experienced lawyers with expertise in financial services, securities and white collar crime.

Abstract

In 2009, Lucha, a Mexican woman who had migrated to Chicago and worked at a candy factory described her work as ‘A slow assassination of your soul’. Her experience in the United States was transformative. The power she previously had as a community activist and college student in Mexico was eroded. Lucha's experience exemplifies a shift in her identity and how that changing identity fashioned the character of her economic activities. Race, ethnicity, and gender shift and change meaning through migration (Gilmartin, 2008, p. 1840) and shape ‘migrant women's multiple relations in the process of migration’ (Parreñas, 2009, p. 11). We are interested in the struggles, realities and contestations of immigrant women. We want to better understand how migrant women negotiate the dynamic intersections of race, gender and citizenship identities in new places in order to survive, prosper and exert influence in new places and economic environments. Based on indepth interviews with immigrant women in Chicago, Illinois, United States and in the Barcelona area of Spain, we demonstrate that issues of race, gender and citizenship influenced the kinds of jobs they obtained and the working conditions they experienced, as well as their ability to become accepted members of the community. In this chapter, we want to respond to the call made by Parreñas (2009) to contribute to the gender and migration literature by analysing structural gender inequalities beyond differences between men and women, and focusing on how gender inequalities are constructed as they intersect with other inequalities based on race and citizenship. The women we interviewed endured humiliation based on their intersecting identities at work; some questioned their belonging in their new countries while at the same time feeling that they did not belong in their home country, as other authors such as Parreñas (2001) have found. The challenge for planners and policymakers is to understand the intricacies of multiple identities across places and scales. Hearing their complex stories of work and perceptions of belonging in their country of origin and new country can help academics who are training future planners and professionals build more inclusive planning and policy theory and practice.

Abstract

Meng-Hsuan Chou starts the anthology with Chapter 2, ‘EU Mobility Partnerships and Gender: Origin and Implications’. Here she shows how current EU regulations regarding migration came to be formed they way they are and how this development was motivated. She not only explores the circumstances under which European Union (EU) mobility partnerships were established, but also examines the effects in terms of migration flows. She raises the question of how the migration policies of the receiving states gender migratory flows, and also wonder whether instrument formulations are intentional or unintentional. While previous research has mostly examined these issues from the perspective of national migration policies, Chou finds that a supranational viewpoint still is missing, a gap in the literature she here aims to fill in. The EU migration instruments known as the ‘mobility partnerships’ are established by participating EU member states and certain third-world countries with the aim of facilitating circular migration. Chou approaches her questions through empirical analysis of three different data sets: (1) existing studies on the migration-development nexus, European migration policy co-operation and EU mobility partnerships; (2) publicly available reports and official EU documents and (3) position papers circulated amongst national delegates who prepared for, and defended their domestic positions at, the Tampere European Council summit. She suggests that the European governments rarely had ‘gender balance’ as priority when it came to border control. However, by definition and design, EU policies are meant to affect migratory flows. To discern how, it is necessary to look more closely at what happens in practice when member states implement the measures (e.g. from the EU level to the national/bilateral level).

Abstract

Purpose

The world’s aging population has led to a greater use of prescription and non-prescription medication by the elderly. Besides, older drinkers consume alcohol often regardless of the medication they consume. The purpose of this paper is to examine the intake of medication and alcohol simultaneously in a group of elderly in the community of Madrid, and the possible differences in consumption between men and women.

Design/methodology/approach

An observational cross-sectional study of 342 elderly in Madrid, aged 65–96 years was conducted, including the collection of anthropometric data (weight, height, waist circumference, BMI), information about the quantity of daily alcohol intake and medication taken from each subject.

Findings

A high percentage of the sample used medication, especially women. A smaller percentage of the sample consumed alcohol, being more frequent among men and decreasing with age. In addition, almost half of the sample (46.4 percent) combined medication intake with alcohol, especially men. High alcohol consumption was observed simultaneously in those subjects taking medication; in addition to the non-perception of the real risk to health. Statistically significant sex differences were observed, since men drank more, including when taking medication; although women may be more vulnerable to harm derived from alcohol.

Originality/value

This study contributed to estimate the risk to the public health of old people, and the integrity of their health, by observing the consumption of both medication and alcohol, given that medication taken in conjunction with alcohol can cause adverse side effects.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to present issues of deterrence related to stalking.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors have combined recent mixed method research findings and existing general deterrence literature with their practitioner experiences of working with this population, to provide a novel viewpoint paper intending to influence advancements in knowledge in this area.

Findings

Recent qualitative research investigating the function of stalking in a small sample (see Wheatley et al., 2020a) noted the participants’ focus on the lack of deterrence. For example, participants described feeling emotionally stuck in their pursuits, experiencing poor access to help and support, being ignorant of the potential custodial consequences of their offending and even stating that imprisonment provided a harsh yet necessary moment of reality.

Originality/value

This novel discussion paper reviews these findings in relation to both the available research based on deterrence generally and deterrence related to stalking and the experience of working with stalking cases in clinical practice. This paper explores what we know about the motivations that underlie stalking behaviour and how that relates to the effectiveness of deterrence, including the role of traditional criminal justice approaches to this type of offending.

Abstract

Purpose

In Italy, internships were introduced in higher education to ease graduates’ entry into the labor market, addressing youth unemployment and overeducation attributed to low job-specific skills. We investigate whether internships during and after the degree program improve employment quality, specifically in terms of coherence between the job obtained and the educational-level achieved.

Design/methodology/approach

We employ both a longitudinal approach and Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to examine the associations between curricular and extracurricular internships, and the number of job episodes after graduation, with the risk of overeducation among master’s graduates.

Findings

The findings suggest that curricular internships, if at all, do not affect the likelihood of obtaining a matching qualified job. Extracurricular internships are instead associated with a higher risk of overeducation. Additionally, the risk of overeducation does not decrease with more job episodes and even rises in the South, where opportunities are scarcer. We conclude that internships may help secure employment but at the cost of overeducation for graduates.

Originality/value

This study fills a gap by analyzing the impact of both curricular and extracurricular internships on employment quality in terms of occupational coherence. In doing so, it assesses policies on graduates' professional experiences over the last 20 years. By employing both longitudinal analysis and PSM quasi-experimental models, it aims to address selection bias related to unobserved characteristics in observational datasets and panel attrition. Theoretically, it advances by analyzing the determinants of overeducation while accounting for territorial differences in labor demand, and better assessing the contrasting predictions of human capital vs credentialist theories.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is not limited to managing and creating a business; other diverse domains have been explored by various scholars. The concept has been defined and explored in various aspects including cultural entrepreneurship (Gupta & Anandaram, 2022) ethnic, feminist, institutional, and various others. To obtain further insights into entrepreneurship, Krueger and Welpe (2014) sought to collaborate on the cognitive and emotional aspects and termed it neuro-entrepreneurship. Literature trends on neuro-entrepreneurship are generally confined to opportunity recognition, risk-taking measures, and decision patterns. It is too early to reach any conclusion as no empirical research has been undertaken on the topic yet. Neuroscience techniques such as fMRI and Magneto-encephalography (MEG) are trying to reveal the hidden phenomenon behind the decision-making process in entrepreneurs. The COVID-19 pandemic forced entrepreneurs to face a new reality: That is not only the crisis in physical resources but also caused a disrupted mental state. Entrepreneurs are seeking new ways to get back on track and potentially neuroscience will assist them. This chapter discusses the background literature on neuro-entrepreneurship and an overview of the rationales of neuro-entrepreneurship in organisational settings. It explains the cognitive and emotional dimensions of the brain controlling decision-making in entrepreneurs. This chapter establishes a connection between decision-making and creativity at the workplace with the help of neuroscience techniques of entrepreneurs and future directions towards achieving a creative entrepreneurial system by amalgamating neuroscience techniques and decision-making for improving entrepreneurial activities.
