The Antecedents of Courier Continuance Participation Intention: A Dyadic Analysis of Courier–Customer Interactions in Crowdsourcing Delivery

Crowdsourcing delivery has emerged as an innovative solution for last-mile delivery in the sharing economy era. However, enhancing courier continuance participation intention is an increasing challenge for crowdsourcing delivery platforms due to the independence of crowdsourced couriers. Given that couriers and customers are subject to interdependencies and may influence each other in delivery service systems, this paper utilizes a dyadic analysis to examine how courier–customer interactions may influence the continuance participation intention of couriers. Specifically, we investigate the influence mechanism of customer satisfaction and courier job satisfaction, as well as the mediating role of courier pay satisfaction, drawing upon the balance theory and distributive justice theory. The empirical results of 261 courier–customer dyads indicate that the customer side impacts the courier side in both direct and indirect ways. There is a direct satisfaction transmission in courier–customer delivery service interactions. Meanwhile, satisfied customers indirectly enhance courier job satisfaction via the mediator of courier pay satisfaction, which in turn strengthens courier continuance participation intention. Our study offers novel insights for administrators on the influence of courier–customer interactions and pay satisfaction on courier continuance participation intention, contributing to decreasing couriers’ turnover in the fluid crowdsourcing labor market.

Distributive leadership and psychological capital among healthcare professionals: Investigating the mediating role of psychological contract

ABSTRACT The paper aims to fill a gap in the existing literature by exploring how distributive leadership (DL) enhances shared decision-making and collaboration, strengthens psychological contracts (PsyCon) and improves psychological capital (PsyCap) among healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in the hospital setting. Further, it also investigates PsyCon's mediating role between DL and PsyCap. Healthcare requires collective action, and DL facilitates collaboration and shared decision-making. The study employed a quantitative research technique and collected data from 503 HCPs using snowball sampling. Structural equation modeling and mediation analysis examined the hypothesized relationships among the variables. The findings highlight that DL had a statistically significant and positive impact on PsyCap (β = 0.38, p < 0.00), and PsyCon mediates the relationship between DL and PsyCap (β = 0.08, p < .0.00). The findings support distributive cognition theory and social exchange theory, emphasizing the importance of DL in healthcare to enhance collaboration and foster PsyCon and PsyCap among HCPs. Further, this study discusses its theoretical contributions, practical implications, limitations, and future research directions.

Definitions of Fairness Differ Across Socioeconomic Groups &amp; Shape Perceptions of Algorithmic Decisions

Understanding how people perceive algorithmic decision-making is remains critical, as these systems are increasingly integrated into areas such as education, healthcare, and criminal justice. These perceptions can shape trust in, compliance with, and the perceived legitimacy of automated systems. Focusing on San Francisco's decade-long policy of algorithmic school assignments, we draw on procedural and distributive justice theory to investigate parents' fairness perceptions of San Francisco's school assignment system. We find that key differences in parents' definitions of fairness shape their preferences for what constitutes a fair school assignment system, while also controlling for parents' school assignment outcomes. Moreover, parents' definitions and perceptions of fairness differ across socioeconomic and racial groups. For instance, among white respondents, the most used definition of fairness was "proximity'' to their assigned school, whereas, among Hispanic or Latino parents, the most popular definition of fairness was that the "same rules'' are applied to everyone. It is crucial for computational system designers and policymakers to consider these differences when deciding on the goals and values embedded in decision-making systems and who those goals and values reflect.

Assessing social equity of federal disaster aid distribution: A nationwide analysis.

In this study, we conduct the first comprehensive, nationwide assessment of social equity performance of multiple federal post- and pre-disaster assistance programs that differ in targeted recipients, project types, forms of aid, and funding requirements. We draw on the social equity and distributive justice theory to develop and test a set of hypotheses on the influence of program design and specificity on their aid distributional patterns and equity performance. The analysis uses panel data of about 3000 US counties to examine the relationship between a county's receipt of federal assistance and its recent disaster damage, socioeconomic, demographic, political, local government, and geographic characteristics in a two-stage random effects Tobit model. Expectedly, we find that post-disaster grants are largely driven by recent disaster damage, while damage is simultaneously influenced by local socioeconomic conditions. For all disaster programs, disproportionately more federal aid is allocated to populous counties. For programs geared toward state and local governments and targeting community recovery and mitigation, more aid is received by counties with better socioeconomic conditions. Conversely, for programs targeting individual relief and recovery, more aid is given to counties with lower incomes and greater social vulnerability. Results also indicate that counties located in high-risk regions receive greater outlays. These findings shed light on the varying degrees of social equity of federal disaster assistance programs tied to their cost-share requirement, funding caps, and inherent complexity of application procedures.

The role of target populations in resident support for local collaboration

AbstractThe characteristics of populations benefiting from collaboration are mostly regarded as contextual factors in collaborative theory and research. Drawing on policy design and distributive justice theories, this study seeks to understand how public support for collaboration varies depending on the characteristics of the target population that benefits from collective action. The analysis demonstrates that collaborative arrangements aiding populations considered deserving are more likely to gain public approval than those benefiting negatively constructed groups. We also investigate citizens' attribution of blame for collaboration failure and find that the process appears to be independent of the characteristics of target populations.

Distributive Justice Analysis in the Context of Workers' Leave Time Regulation: A Legal Perspective

The controversy surrounding Law No. 6/2023 revolves around the loss of the two-day weekend holiday entitlement for workers, the provision of only one day off in a six-day workweek, changes in working hours, which also affect rest time to only one day per week for a 6-day work schedule. The existence of a law should inherently provide fairness to society and contribute to the happiness of the people, but on the other hand, the government must also strive consistently to foster the economic growth of the population as a means to achieve social welfare. This research aims to investigate the regulation of workers' rest time under Law No. 6/2023 and to assess whether the provisions for rest time under Law No. 6/2023 have met the criteria of fairness for workers. To address these objectives, a normative juridical method with legislative and conceptual approaches is employed. Based on distributive justice theory, Law No. 13/2003 better reflects justice in labor relations in Indonesia as it considers basic needs, equality, and workers' contributions more comprehensively. Conversely, Law No. 6/2023, despite providing benefits to employers and potentially stimulating economic growth, appears to reduce the protection and welfare of workers, which can be deemed less fair according to distributive justice principles. Therefore, strict monitoring and improvements are necessary in the implementation of Law No. 6/2023 to ensure fairness for workers is maintained.

The Effect of Horizontal Pay Transparency on Employee Motivation When Pay Dispersion Is Performance Based and Non-Performance Based

ABSTRACT The movement toward pay transparency within firms has intensified. We investigate the effect of horizontal pay transparency on employee motivation in a broader information environment where (1) performance-based and non-performance-based pay dispersion coexist and (2) relative performance information allows employees to alleviate pay dispersion ambiguity in order to assess the basis of any pay dispersion that pay transparency reveals. Drawing on distributive justice theory, we predict and find that pay transparency differentially affects employees’ motivation based on what it reveals about their relative standing while working under the same performance incentives. Specifically, it depends on whether they are underpaid, overpaid, or their relative pay aligns with their relative performance. Our analysis provides additional insights related to these three scenarios, and in doing so, our study highlights the importance of considering employees’ broader information environment when considering the potential benefits and costs associated with pay transparency.

JUSTICE OF COMPENSATION FOR APPROPRIATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPENING ROADS IN JORDANIAN LAW (A COMPARATIVE STUDY)

Objective: This study aims to define the concept of fair compensation, and how the Jordanian constitution gives the ordinary legislator the authority to determine the nature of fair compensation so that he may stipulate deducting part of the property free of charge, or did the constitutional legislator grant the ordinary legislator the authority to determine how to estimate the value of fair compensation as stated in Comparative legislation. Theoretical Framework: The study employs a theoretical framework rooted in distributive justice theory, particularly drawing upon the perspectives of Rawls, Nozick, and Sen, the study evaluates the principles underlying fair compensation and its practical application in legal systems. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study follows a comparative analytical descriptive approach in dealing with the position of comparative legislation on fair compensation in the first requirement, and we will devote the second requirement to the position of the Jordanian legislator on fair compensation stipulated in Jordanian legislation. Result: The results of the study showed that appropriation for the public benefit has become recognized in constitutions and comparative legislations, as these legislations have defined the procedures for obtaining real estate to be appropriated in order to achieve the public benefit, and these legislations also included the principle of the owner's right to receive fair compensation that compensates the damage caused as a result of appropriation. Research, Practical &amp; Social Implications: The study concluded that the legislations have differed in how to estimate fair compensation, some of which stipulate that the compensation must be complete without taking into account the impact of ownership on the remaining parts of the property and neighboring properties, and some of which introduced the concept of a free quarter such as the Jordanian law of ownership in the acquisitions of roads. This study came to show the fairness of the free quarter deduction in the acquisition of roads in the Jordanian acquisition law compared to what is applied in the comparative legislation. Originality/Value: The study provides original insights into the concept of fair compensation in Jordanian law, offering recommendations for legislative reforms to enhance distributive justice in expropriation cases.

Comparative view of Sandel's Distributive Justice Theory

In Western political thought, distributive justice has always been an important issue. Utilitarianism, liberalism and communitarianism represent three different views of distributive justice, but they try to solve the same problem, the inequality of income and wealth. Utilitarianism aims at welfare maximization, liberalism takes respect for freedom as its starting point, and communitarianism, represented by Sandel and MacIntyre, advocates Aristotle's deserved theory with the aim of promoting virtue and taking unity as the banner against inequality. This paper takes Sandel's Liberalism and the Limits of Justice as the core of the study, captures the central proposition of distributive justice from the standpoint of communitarianism, introduces the Marxist distributive justice principles of Marx and Cohen, and compares and interprets the characteristics of Sandel's communitarian distributive justice theory from a perspective different from utilitarianism and liberalism. Finally, based on the principles of Marxist view of justice, this paper briefly expounds the theoretical value, limitation and practical possibility of Sandel's distributive justice theory and communitarian view.

Co-workers’ perceptions of the distributive justice of idiosyncratic deals – the roles of content, timing, and justice sensitivity

Research to date creates a predominantly positive image of idiosyncratic deals (i-deals). However, since i-deals lead to differences in employment relationships, they can trigger perceptions of unfairness and negative reactions among co-workers, thereby posing a threat to the overall effectiveness of i-deals. Against this background, it is important to gain more insights into how co-workers’ perceptions of distributive justice are shaped. Building on distributive justice theory and integrating distributive justice principles with the roles of emotions and personality, this study investigates three factors that are likely to influence co-workers’ perceptions of the distributive justice of an i-deal: the i-deal’s content, the negotiation’s timing, and co-workers’ justice sensitivity. The results of the vignette-based, between-subjects quasi-experimental study with 650 employees show that these three factors influence co-workers’ perceptions of an i-deal’s distributive justice. In addition, the results of the study reveal interaction effects between the factors under investigation. By examining what influences co-workers’ perceptions of distributive justice, this study contributes to a better understanding of i-deals from a third-party perspective and highlights that some types of i-deals, in terms of content and timing, should be approached with particular caution by supervisors.

Telaah filosofis tentang keadilan kontributif dan Martabat kerja manusia serta implikasinya bagi Paradigma ekonomi

&lt;p&gt;Abstract This article aims to present the limitations of distributive justice theory as a conceptual foundation of the paradigm of the growth and prosperity in economy, and then proposing the idea of contributive justice and the dignity of human work as a new economic paradigm. Why is contributive justice important, and what is its relevance in the discourse of economic paradigm? By using the method of literature study and critical analysis, this article indicates that the idea of contributive justice is essential to overcome the lack of distributive justice. The distributive justice fails to understand that human labour is not only economic. Human labor is not just an instrument for consumption purpose. Human labour is essentially social and cultural. Based on the very idea of contributive justice, human labour is a source of individual self-social esteem, the way of contributing for common good and winning the social recognition from the society. Amid the global economic competition that intensifies the social and economic inequality, contributive justice offers the idea of dignity of human work as a new paradigm of economy. This article concludes that economic efforts in the 21st century, both in the global and in Indonesia, must consider&lt;br /&gt;the dignity and value of human work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Key Words : Distributive justice; contributive justice; economy; the dignity of human work.&lt;/p&gt;

Not So Ambitious? Indonesia’s Coal Dependence Amidst The Era of Energy Transition

Indonesia ratified the Paris Agreement to combat climate change and pledged to reduce its carbon emissions. This commitment, however, contrasts Indonesia's development plan under Joko Widodo's administration. His policy has enabled the development of additional power plants, hence perpetuating Indonesia's reliance on coal. Thus, it is essential to examine why Indonesia is still struggling to break free from its dependence on coal, despite its ambitious goal to tackle climate change. This paper will apply the Copenhagen School's securitisation theory to explore how security is defined and shapes Indonesia's energy transition process. Furthermore, this research will use distributive and procedural justice theory to examine the decision-making process and climate change policy implementation. In order to accomplish so, we will employ qualitative methods such as desk studies, which will comprise academic literature as well as government statements and regulations. This paper argues that Indonesia's energy transition is impeded by how other security issues are prioritised above climate change. In addition, the lack of justice principles in the climate policy formulation and implementation has contributed to Indonesia's reliance on coal. Since Indonesia is the world's largest coal exporter and one of the top ten global polluters, this study intends to contribute to identifying challenges in the transition to renewable energy.Keywords: Indonesia; coal dependence; energy transition; securitisation; distributive and procedural justice

Role of Negotiation in Purchasing and Procurement in Malaysia

Purpose: The study sought to analyze the role of negotiation in purchasing and procurement in Malaysia &#x0D; Methodology: The research was conducted entirely on computers. Secondary data, or data that doesn't require actual observation in the field, are the focus of desk research. Because it requires little more than an executive's time, telephone rates, and directories, desk research is generally seen as a low-cost strategy in comparison to field research. As a result, the research used data that had already been collected and reported. This secondary data was readily available via the internet's digital library and scholarly articles.&#x0D; Findings: The results show that negotiation plays an important role in the purchasing and procurement process in Malaysia. Negotiation allows buyers and sellers to come to an agreement that is mutually beneficial and ensures that the transaction is successful. Negotiation allows buyers and sellers to come to an agreement on delivery times and other factors involved in the transaction. Ultimately, negotiation is an important part of the purchasing and procurement process in Malaysia, and it can help to create mutually beneficial agreements.&#x0D; Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Future research in the field of purchasing and procurement may be grounded in the transaction cost theory and the distributive bargaining theory. Policymakers, researchers, and academics from all across the world will all stand to gain from this study's findings. Executives in charge of national purchasing and procurement initiatives will also use the study's findings to boost negotiations performance across the board. The research suggests that the purchasing and procurement sector should implement negotiation policies to boost the effectiveness of their primary operations and activities.

Seniority and Ideological Proximity? A Longitudinal Analysis of the Appointment of Party Group Coordinators in the European Parliament

AbstractGroup coordinators have a key role in shaping coherent policy agendas in European Parliament (EP) committees and in building consensus about the party line among the group's specialists. They also yield considerable discretion and influence legislative outcomes through their selection of rapporteurs. This article builds and expands on previous research to analyse longitudinally the determinants of group coordinator selection. The EP's gradual empowerment to co‐legislator status has arguably increased the stakes of selecting competent group coordinators. Drawing on a unique dataset that includes all party group coordinators of the European People's Party in seven terms of the EP (1984–2019), the article shows that committee incumbency, coordinator seniority and, to a lesser extent, ideological proximity to the committee contingent influence who becomes a coordinator. The results are robust to replication of analyses on a sample of Socialists and Democrats Members of the European Parliament and to controlling for several factors associated with partisan and distributive theories of committee organisation.

Discourses on Universal Basic Income: An Alternative Model of Idea of Justice

Discourses on Universal Basic Income, or UBI, are current political concerns that aim to provide all members of a political community with a fixed amount of money each month, with no conditions attached, in order to enable them to live good, dignified, and secure lives. UBI has strong connections with theories of justice. Having strong opposition, it is being more or less experimented with and piloted in most of the countries of the world. This paper tries to explore the arguments regarding how the UBI could be instrumental in realizing the major objectives of theories of justice. Among two dimensions of justice, reformative theory of justice connects to the legal aspect while the distributive theory of justice connects to the notion of social justice. Distributive justice believes that all the available means of livelihood and fruits of economic growth must be available to all human beings so that they could live a decent life and would not be forced to work without their wishes. Today's world is a world of automation and digitalization. Digitalization of the world economy resulted in massive joblessness, loss of social safety nets and wealth concentration in a small number of private players or MNCs. The Global Crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic has further multiplied the very adversity. In such a global scenario, the present study, by contemplating discourses on UBI and citing the case of Indian UBI, tries to see UBI as an alternative model of justice and put forward the argument that if UBI is implemented properly and universally, it will not only result in a conceptual shift in the political theory of justice, liberty, democracy and relative equality and others but also lead to the attainment of human emancipation which is the primary concern of political and social theorists.

Granting a compulsory will to grandfather and grandmother based on Aristotle's distributive theory

There is no legal basis for giving testament wajibah to a grandparent in Indonesia. However, the Religious Courts of Tarakan, in decision number: 610/Pdt.G/2014/PA.Trk. the judges gave testament wajibah portion of the inheritance to the grandparent because the heir’s mother blocked their position and the parenting role carried out by the grandparent since the mother left the heir, and her existence was unknown. The judge’s decision must consider the principles of legal certainty, benefits, and a sense of justice for the parties. Therefore, this research focuses on the judge’s legal reasoning in decision number: 610/Pdt.G/2014/PA.Trk. and how the judge’s decision is seen from the perspective of Aristotle’s distributive justice theory. This research is juridical-normative with cases and conceptual approaches. The results showed that the judge’s legal reasoning through the process of de heuristic and de legitimate, legal basis that judges used are the holy Qur’an, hadith, KHI, and Islamic law. The judges consider the role of grandparents during the heir to life. And giving testament wajibah to grandparents is considered fair based on Aristotle’s distributive justice theory because they have fulfilled the proportional principle requirements.How to cite item: Saiban, K., Al Kaswy, TR., SJ, F., (2022). The granting of compulsory wills to grandparents in judgment number: 610/Rev.G/2014/PA.trk is based on Aristotle's distributive theory.

KEADILAN DISTRIBUTIF DALAM EKONOMI ISLAM

Fair distribution of wealth is a manifestation of justice in Islam. In contrast to the pre-existing distributive justice theory, Islam regulates justice in a comprehensive way. The writing is processed using the literature study method obtained from various books, journals, and other related references. Distributive justice in the Islamic perspective is not related to the benefits that will be obtained in this world, but also in the hereafter. Islam demands maximizing benefit for the common good and minimizing harm. The concept offered by Islam is able to be a balancer as well as a solution for equality and justice in a social order.

Unequal but just? Experimental evidence on (gendered) distributive justice principles in parental financial gifts

Abstract Research has documented gender inequalities in parental financial gifts, but it is unclear under which conditions these inequalities are socially accepted. We combine distributive justice theory with sociological and economic perspectives on intergenerational transfers to examine perceptions of fair allocations of parental gifts. By manipulating children’s characteristics in a multifactorial vignette experiment, we conducted in Germany in 2020 (N = 4284 observations of 714 respondents), we test the prevalence and gendered application of four justice principles (equality, need, entitlement and equity). While the equality principle was widespread, unequal gifts were legitimized both by children’s financial needs (unemployment) and exchange services (helping in parents’ household). These results indicate that the family is perceived as an agency for economic redistribution, potentially affecting society’s socio-economic structure. Moreover, exchange services weighed more for sons while needs weighed more for daughters, suggesting that gendered fairness perceptions are one possible mechanism explaining gender inequalities in financial gifts.
