Abstract
This research investigates the relationship between inter‐domain conflict in the form of work‐family conflict and family‐work conflict with various facets of employee job satisfaction. The study was conducted among police personnel (n = 119) in a large southeastern state. Results indicate that work‐family conflict is significantly related to satisfaction with job in general, pay, supervision, promotion, work, and co‐workers. Family‐work conflict is not as consistently related to the facets of job satisfaction. In general, as expected, conflict between work‐family is more closely related to employee job satisfaction than conflict between family‐work. Managerial implications are included as well as directions for future theoretical research.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the work–family interface on organizational commitment with the mediating role of occupational stress and organizational justice in Vietnamese state sectors.
Design/methodology/approach
Empirical research is completed with a sample of 294 local respondents. Linear regression analysis is used to test hypotheses.
Findings
The findings of this paper indicate that work–family interfaces partially affect organizational commitment and occupational stress. Also, occupational stress partly plays a mediating role in the relationship between work–family interfaces and organizational commitment. This paper opens the scope of work–family interfaces in an emerging country (Vietnam).
Practical Implications
The results of this paper provide two practical implications for public Vietnamese organizations and leaders. First, superiors and administrators must establish policies for employees to decrease the adverse effects of work–family conflict. Second, supervisors and administrations at local public organizations should distribute additional training to help employees understand the detrimental impact of work–family conflict and occupational stress and how to solve them.
Originality/value
This paper strengthens the work–family theory by integrating the relationship between work–family interfaces, organizational justice, occupational stress and organizational commitment. As none of the prior literature has studied the relationship among four factors in Vietnam, the results are expected to fulfil this gap.

Abstract
This research provides accounting-ethics authors and administrators with a benchmark for accounting-ethics research. While Bernardi and Bean (2010) considered publications in business-ethics and accounting’s top-40 journals this study considers research in eight accounting-ethics and public-interest journals, as well as, 34 business-ethics journals. We analyzed the contents of our 42 journals for the 25-year period between 1991 through 2015. This research documents the continued growth (Bernardi & Bean, 2007) of accounting-ethics research in both accounting-ethics and business-ethics journals. We provide data on the top-10 ethics authors in each doctoral year group, the top-50 ethics authors over the most recent 10, 20, and 25 years, and a distribution among ethics scholars for these periods. For the 25-year timeframe, our data indicate that only 665 (274) of the 5,125 accounting PhDs/DBAs (13.0% and 5.4% respectively) in Canada and the United States had authored or co-authored one (more than one) ethics article.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper describes the personal history and intellectual development of Morris B. Holbrook (MBH), a participant in the field of marketing academics in general and consumer research in particular.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper pursues an approach characterized by historical autoethnographic subjective personal introspection or HASPI.
Findings
The paper reports the personal history of MBH and – via HASPI – interprets various aspects of key participants and major themes that emerged over the course of his career.
Research limitations/implications
The main implication is that every scholar in the field of marketing pursues a different light, follows a unique path, plays by idiosyncratic rules, and deserves individual attention, consideration, and respect … like a cat that carries its own leash.
Originality/value
In the case of MBH, like (say) a jazz musician, whatever value he might have depends on his originality.
