Price Reversals After Extreme Price Shocks: Impact of Earnings Information With Time Series Evidence From Emerging Market

The purpose of the article is to analyze the relevance of earnings fundamentals in predicting extreme price reversals of an emerging stock market. We collect monthly price data on six sector indices from Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) of India for the period 2004–2019. The research decomposes industry stock returns into Potential Maximum Gains (PMG) and Potential Maximum Losses (PML) with price extremes at first and then tests price reversal behavior using Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH) and vector autoregressive (VAR) models. The study finds symmetry between PMG and PML in the banking, realty, and oil sectors, while the asymmetric reversal behavior is noted in the automobiles and capital goods industries. The presence of industry fundamentals in the models estimating the reversal behavior of share prices enhances their predictive power, which suggests the significance of value strategies in making gains from extreme price variations. The price reversal behavior is sector specific and found inconsistent in emerging market. Hence, the investors cannot overlook the relevance of the industry characteristics and earnings fundamentals while predicting the stock price behavior in emerging markets.

The Influence of the Debunker's Identity and Emotional Expression on the Sharing Behavior of Debunking Information.

Owing to the proliferation of rumors on social media, it is necessary to disseminate debunking information to minimize the harm caused by them. Using content analysis, sentiment analysis, and regression analysis, this study examined the mediating role of follower count in the relationship between the debunker’s identity and sharing behavior, and it explored the relationship between the text sentiment of debunking information and sharing behavior based on data on the spread of three rumors that circulated extensively on social media. Using an ordinary account as a reference, we found that the mediating or suppression effect (i.e., when direct and indirect effects are significant and opposite) of follower count in the relationship between debunker’s identity (celebrity, media, or government) and sharing behavior was significant. The three test identities (celebrity, media, and government) had more followers than the ordinary account, which resulted in a significant positive effect on the number of reposts. The debunker’s identity did not have a positive effect on the sharing of debunking information when controlling for mediating variables. Debunking information with emotional overtones (positive or negative) was shared more widely compared with information with neutral emotions, and the dominant emotional polarity was different in the three different rumors. These findings can contribute to the generation of debunking information content, which can aid in the development of effective communication strategies and improvement in the efficiency of crisis management.

A Relational Understanding of Co-Educating and Learning: Information Sharing and Advice Seeking Behavior in a Dairy Cooperative in Gujarat, India

• Co-education and learning are an essential principle of the ICA’s statement on Cooperative Identity. • Social embeddedness and social capital play a crucial role in promoting knowledge sharing and learning behaviour among cooperative members. • Knowledge-based and position-based hierarchies play prominent roles in information sharing and advice sharing. • Just being the leader in the collective does not earn members’ trust. Members seek help or collaborate with leaders who have the required knowledge and skills to solve their issues. This article, building on the 5 th principle of the Statement of the Cooperative Identity explores the practice of co-educating and learning behavior among the members of a dairy cooperative society. The study adopts a social network approach by focusing on two relational social ties: information sharing and advice-seeking . Building on a case of a 55-year-old dairy cooperative in India, the social network analysis finds information-sharing relations among members to be inclusive, with no members isolated, and information exchanged along formal and knowledge hierarchies. Likewise, information sharing is horizontal, with information smoothly exchanged even among new and already established members, as is the transfer of leadership roles from the older members of the cooperatives to the younger members. Advice-seeking networks tend to be a bit more centralized toward board members and members exerting day-to-day leadership because of their knowledge and expertise regarding the organization and its policies. Our analysis suggests inclusive information sharing among members and a well-structured and functioning advice and knowledge-sharing network that contributes to learning of the cooperative members.

Developing Faith-Based Health Promotion Programs that Target Cardiovascular Disease and Cancer Risk Factors.

The aim of this study wasto evaluate the impact of a faith-based health promotion program on the ideal health behaviors shared between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. The primary purpose was to measure the individual-level change in three categories of shared risk behaviors between CVD and cancer (body weight, physical activity, and nutrition) among program participants. Additionally, we evaluated the association of churches' perceived environmental support on these ideal health behaviors. Baseline and 10-week surveys were conducted to assess BMI, ideal health behaviors (diet and physical activity), and a Healthy Lifestyle Score (HLS) was created to measure adherence to health behaviors. A Supportive Church Environment Score (SCES) was designed to address the second objective. Psychosocial factors (stress and coping skills) and demographics were also measured. The percentage of participants meeting diet and exercise recommendations significantly increased with the completion of the program. Whole-grain intake increased by 64% (p = 0.085), vegetable intake increased by 58% (p = < 0.001), fruit intake increased by 39% (p = < 0.001), physical activity increased by 14% (p = < 0.001), and red meat consumption decreased by 19% (p = < 0.001). The median HLS increased from 7 to 8 (p = < 0.001). At baseline the association between ideal health behaviors and the SCES was significant for fruit intake (r = 0.22, p-value = 0.003) and red meat consumption (r = 0.17, p-value = 0.02). The aggregate behaviors as represented by the HLS were associated with the SCES (r = 0.19, p-value = 0.03). The significant increase in the HLS indicates an average improvement in the degree to which participants were meeting recommendations after completing the program. Therefore, adherence to these ideal health behaviors increased over the 10-week program.

Gender and Age Differences in the Sharing Behavior of Online Video Advertisements: The Case of Selangor, Malaysia

Gender and age are considered important demographic factors that influence consumers&amp;rsquo; behavioral intention, especially pertaining to video advertisements. However, limited research has examined the impact of gender and age on consumers&amp;rsquo; sharing behavior of online video advertisements (OVAs) in Selangor, Malaysia. The aim of this paper is therefore to examine the role of gender and age in the intention to share OVAs in Selangor. Survey data was collected from 180 Millennial respondents in Selangor and analyzed using t-test and ANOVA to detect gender and age differences in the intention to share OVAs. The results indicated that gender and age have significantly distinct impacts on the intention to share OVAs among Millennials in Selangor. Male Millennials were found have a stronger intention to share OVAs compared to females, whereas Millennials in the 19 to 24 age bracket showed a stronger intention to share OVAs than those in the 25 to 30 and 31 to 38 age brackets. The study&amp;#39;s practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed.

The Role of Feeling Trusted on Employee Engagement and Knowledge Sharing Behavior in Post-Acquisition Enterprises: A Pilot Study

The acquisition is one of several company strategies to grow and develop. However, it has consequences on changes in the structure of the company and employees. The cultural collision and downsizing issues as consequences between two or more organizations involved in the acquisition process tend to give negative responses within the work environment. Whereas, to succeed in the acquisition process needed a positive environment that has an impact on good employee engagement further increasing knowledge sharing behavior among employees. Furthermore, feeling trusted among employees plays an important role because it leads feeling of justice, encouragement, and determines to what extent the employee has behaved in sharing knowledge. Hence, the aim of the present pilot study determines the validity, suitability, and reliability of a research instrument in preparation for a large scales study to examine the role of feeling trusted on employee engagement and knowledge sharing behavior in post-acquisition enterprises

Understanding the Antecedents of Knowledge Sharing Behavior From the Theory of Planned Behavior Model: Cross-Cultural Comparisons Between Mainland China and Malaysia.

Affected by coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in addition to keeping away the impact of the pandemic on their business practices, many enterprises have proposed relevant measures to protect their employees’ job safety and security. Especially for enterprises with high dependence on knowledge resources, employees’ innovation and knowledge sharing play a vital role. In the context of global economic austerity, how to put forward the corresponding plan of knowledge sharing intention to improve the knowledge sharing behavior of employees for enterprises is worth discussing. Mainland China and Malaysia have different quarantine policies and similar industrial structures. This study examines the awareness of Mainland China vs. Malaysian employees, and evaluates the relationship among self-efficacy, job security, market orientation, knowledge sharing intention, and knowledge sharing behavior from the theory of planned behavior. In this study, a total of 627 Mainland China and 434 Malaysian participants were collected to compare both groups in the development of employees’ knowledge sharing behavior. In this study, a variance-based partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was performed to test the proposed hypothesis and conduct comparative analysis. The results in both the samples show that self-efficacy, job security, and market orientation have positive and significant effects on knowledge sharing intention; self-efficacy has positive and significant effects on job security; knowledge sharing intention has positive and significant effects on knowledge sharing behavior. Moreover, there are several significant differences between Mainland China and Malaysia in the examinations of path comparisons.

The Impact of Knowledge Sharing Behavior on Project Team Performance: Mediating Role of Project Team Effectiveness

The purpose of the study was to explore the influence of Knowledge Sharing Behavior (KSB) on the Protect Team Performance (PTP). The study also determines the mediating role of Project Team Effectiveness (PTE). The existing study shows that population includes the employees of different Project based organization in the twin cities of Peshawar and Mardan. The study was carried out with a cross-sectional survey in the target cities. The study contains of 193 and the data was gathered through an adopted questionnaire. In the present study the covariance sampling technique of the non-probability sampling was used. The gathered data was coded and run via various statistical techniques such as reliability analysis, CFA, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis,and the regression analysis was done by using the Preacher and Hayes (2004) process macro for mediating analysis. Consequently thereafter, the results revealed that Knowledge Sharing Behavior of the protect team and managers in these organizations is positively and significantly associated with Project Team Performance. The study further displays that Project Team Effectiveness is partially mediate the relation between Knowledge Sharing Behavior and Project Team Performance. The study significantly contributes in literature that the effects of Knowledge Sharing Behavior in project based organizations eventually increases the sense in the team members and it triggers proactive working behavior within ethical standards that eventually leads toward improved project team performance. The findings of the study established that Knowledge Sharing Behavior and Project Team Effectiveness have significant impact toward providing Project Team Performance. In further research the impact of Knowledge Sharing Behavior on Project Team Performance can also be identified by using other variables.

Knowledge Sharing Practices, Innovation Strategy, and Knowledge Sharing behaviour: Role of Mutual Trust

Knowledge sharing and mutual trust are culture-specific virtues and vital components for organizations’ success. In this research, we investigated the effect of Organizational Knowledge Sharing Practices (OKSP) and Innovation Strategy (IS) on Knowledge Sharing (KS) among Indian service sector employees. Moreover, moderating role of Mutual Trust (MT) between Organizational knowledge sharing practices, Innovation strategy, and Knowledge sharing was also examined on a sample of 150 service sector employees (Male = 112, Female = 38). The correlation results revealed that Organizational knowledge sharing practices and Innovation Strategy significantly and positively correlated with Knowledge Sharing dimensions- explicit knowledge sharing and tacit knowledge sharing. Furthermore, stepwise regression analyses to examine the moderating effect of Mutual trust revealed that Organizational knowledge sharing practices significantly predicted explicit knowledge sharing (β = .48; p&lt;.01) and tacit knowledge sharing (β = .51; p&lt;.01) in the group with high mutual trust. Thus, cultural traits and behaviors such as trust and knowledge sharing would be inculcated within organization practices to experience better psychological and organizational outcomes.

Dyadic teaching in nursing student education: A secondary analysis

ProblemThere is a lack of understanding of undergraduate nursing students' shared regulatory behaviours and metacognitive processes as they learn to teach in dyad. Insights into this pedagogical approach can provide the opportunity to re-evaluate the best approaches to learning in the collaborative learning space. AimThe aim of this study was to explore the shared guidance and metacognitive and behavioural regulation of undergraduate nursing students involved in dyadic near-peer teaching. MethodSecondary qualitative data analysis was conducted on data collected from an earlier study of 14 interviews, which explored final year students undertaking dyadic near-peer teaching. Data were analysed using NVivo12 to identify categories of meaning. FindingTwo major categories and five subcategories evolved from the data, regulation of affective behaviours with associated subcategories of anxiety and self-doubt and shared guidance with subcategories of coregulation of cognition, metacognition, and critical thinking. DiscussionAn important finding is that working in dyad provided a supportive environment for near-peer teaching, enhancing students' self-efficacy and metacognition ability through shared regulation by considering alternate perspectives, through shared understandings, and negotiating different viewpoints. ConclusionIt was identified that a dyadic approach in near-peer teaching supports metacognitive shared regulation and metacognitive growth; hence, influencing self-directed, long-life learners, a core nursing profession requirement.

Innovative Enterprises Development and Employees' Knowledge Sharing Behavior in China: The Role of Leadership Style.

Leadership is generally considered helpful for team knowledge sharing. However, differences in the influence of different leadership styles on team knowledge sharing mechanism is still unclear. To understand different leadership style foster team knowledge sharing, this study focuses on leader–follower trust during team interactions. From the perspective of leadership as social problem solving, we argue that transformational leadership and authoritative leadership are different linked to team knowledge sharing. Through the collection of a sample of 791 valid questionnaires in China, we used the structural equation model to test the theoretical model. Results showed that: (1) Transformational leadership was positively linked to explicit and implicit knowledge sharing, while authoritative leadership was positively linked to explicit knowledge sharing. (2) Trust tendency mediates the relationship between authoritative leadership and knowledge sharing. (3) Supportive and bureaucratic culture moderate the influence of trust tendency on implicit knowledge sharing, such that the positive relationship is stronger for the low-quality of supportive culture and the high-quality of bureaucratic culture. Finally, The study’s implication for theory and practice were discussed, its limitations were identified, and directions for future research were suggested.

The Effect of the Frequency and Source of Instructional Messages on Knowledge Sharing Behavior

ABSTRACT Prior literature has documented the importance of knowledge sharing to accounting and auditing; however, researchers have made little progress in understanding knowledge sharing behavior in an accounting setting. This study aims to understand how formal communication among auditors affects knowledge sharing behavior. Specifically, this study investigates the impact of the frequency and source of instructional messages on knowledge sharing behavior in an auditing setting. The results of this study indicate that an in-group member is more effective in promoting knowledge sharing behavior. When motivating knowledge sharing behavior, an out-group member should avoid sending a high frequency of knowledge sharing messages. This study provides guidelines for altering communication styles in order to encourage knowledge sharing. The findings of this study also suggest that more communication messages are not always better. Thus, these findings can help organizations understand the reasons why employees are reluctant to share their knowledge.

Social Marketing of Electronic Coupons Under the Perspective of Social Sharing Behavior.

This study aimed to (1) explore the correlated influential factors that promote consumers' sharing behaviors of electronic coupons, (2) identify relevant knowledge gaps on e-coupon sharing, and (3) develop a theoretical model to explain the e-coupon sharing behavior of consumers. This study suggested that familiarity and professionalism of the referral source have significant and positive impacts on the feeling of credibility of e-coupons, which promote consumers' willingness to share. Moreover, this research used electronic coupons as the product from (1) the concept of social marketing and (2) the perspective of the social sharing behavior of consumers. The research findings of this study showed that (1) community-based social marketing is covered in the social norm as social individuals frequently hope to share benefits with others. (2) People's sharing purpose is to promote their established social relationship via sharing the benefits to others. In this case, benefits referred to advantageous products' attributes and values consumers found on the products such as credibility of the products. (3) The interlaced display of products and social psychology in the field of social marketing was also discussed in this study. In short, the research results of this study theoretically contributed to indicate the connection mechanism between (A) social benefit-sharing behavior and (B) product benefits. That is to say, the feeling of credibility and willingness to shares are covered by the social benefit-sharing behavior mechanism, while the product-benefit mechanism covers professionalism, feeling of credibility and willingness to share. Note that the (A) social benefit-sharing behavior mechanism works in the form of social norms in sharing benefits to an individual's social networks; the (B) product-benefit mechanism work in the form of product values and attributes.

Trust as Extended Control: Human-Machine Interactions as Active Inference.

In order to interact seamlessly with robots, users must infer the causes of a robot’s behavior–and be confident about that inference (and its predictions). Hence, trust is a necessary condition for human-robot collaboration (HRC). However, and despite its crucial role, it is still largely unknown how trust emerges, develops, and supports human relationship to technological systems. In the following paper we review the literature on trust, human-robot interaction, HRC, and human interaction at large. Early models of trust suggest that it is a trade-off between benevolence and competence; while studies of human to human interaction emphasize the role of shared behavior and mutual knowledge in the gradual building of trust. We go on to introduce a model of trust as an agent’ best explanation for reliable sensory exchange with an extended motor plant or partner. This model is based on the cognitive neuroscience of active inference and suggests that, in the context of HRC, trust can be casted in terms of virtual control over an artificial agent. Interactive feedback is a necessary condition to the extension of the trustor’s perception-action cycle. This model has important implications for understanding human-robot interaction and collaboration–as it allows the traditional determinants of human trust, such as the benevolence and competence attributed to the trustee, to be defined in terms of hierarchical active inference, while vulnerability can be described in terms of information exchange and empowerment. Furthermore, this model emphasizes the role of user feedback during HRC and suggests that boredom and surprise may be used in personalized interactions as markers for under and over-reliance on the system. The description of trust as a sense of virtual control offers a crucial step toward grounding human factors in cognitive neuroscience and improving the design of human-centered technology. Furthermore, we examine the role of shared behavior in the genesis of trust, especially in the context of dyadic collaboration, suggesting important consequences for the acceptability and design of human-robot collaborative systems.

Why do We Share Information? Explaining Information Sharing Behavior through a New Conceptual Model between Sharer to Receiver within SNS

Social networking services (SNS) is an indispensable method in order to obtain information of the Internet participants. The study identified three variables of social media communication, sharing culture, and online trust in terms of social capital theory (SCT) and reviewed intention& behavior variables in terms of theory of planned behavior (TPB). The data were collected from 330 samples of SNS user, and were involved, and the research model uses AMOS to make confirmatory factor analysis. The findings confirmed our hypothesis that social media communication, sharing culture, and online trust affect individuals’ behaviors to sharing information. This study emphasizes that not only social media communication but also sharing culture to SNS can stimulate information sharing. while previous research has predominately focused on personal cognition or social network, the study examines the integrated influence of communication, culture and trust on information sharing in SNS. In sum, by explicating the unique role of social capital, this paper aims at contributing to the continued development and success of SNS in general.

Does COVID-19 Induced Occupational Stress Moderates the Relationship of Spiritual Motivation and Academicians’ Tacit Knowledge Sharing Behaviour Among South Asian Higher Education Institutions?

The COVID outbreak has frazzled many employers to research how to upkeep and boost the performance outcomes continuously. It is even trickier in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) when they have hibernated from conventional to cyber universities due to the COVID pandemic. It is relatable to motivate and retain the knowledge workers persistently. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the impact of academicians' spiritual motivation on their tacit knowledge sharing behaviour, with the moderation of COVID-induced occupational stress. The population embraced the academicians of Pakistani Higher Education Institutions. ~289 academicians were considered as the sample size. Descriptive and inferential statistics (linear regression) were performed in SPSS, whereas; 'Hayes' process macro' was used to test moderation. The findings designate that academicians' spiritual motivation is significantly and positively associated with tacit knowledge sharing behaviour—moreover, COVID-induced occupational stress moderates their relationship. Consequently, the results bequeath the policymakers and the relevant authorities of HEIs, with valuable propositions on how to upkeep academicians' tacit knowledge sharing behaviour by considering COVID-induced occupational stress as eu-stress if they are spiritually motivated. Profuse suggestions were also presented to future researchers to further look into the anticipated study model.

Consumer Knowledge Sharing Behavior and Consumer Purchase Behavior: Evidence from E-Commerce and Online Retail in Hungary

The twenty-first century has been full of fundamental changes in consumers’ behavior patterns, especially with the use of diverse social media knowledge-sharing platforms. Therefore, companies have highlighted the significance of knowledge sharing and the importance of social network use in purchasing processes. Accordingly, his paper tries to reveal how consumer purchase behavior (CPB) can be affected by consumer knowledge sharing behavior (CKSB) and the moderating role played by value co-creation dimensions, which are citizenship behavior (CB) and participation behavior (PB), within a sustainable e-commerce field. To test our hypotheses deducted from the literature review, we opted for the PLS-SEM method. We also employed other innovative approaches, such as the IPMA matrix, MAICOM test, FIMIX approach, and CTA analysis, to evaluate the outer and inner model. Our statistical population covered individuals living in Hungary with at least one online purchase involvement. We distributed the questionnaire via various online platforms and, finally, 433 completed questionnaires were prepared for analysis. The results showed that CPB, CB, and PB are positively influenced by the CKSB. However, the link between CPB and CB was not confirmed. As for the moderating role of gender, the permutation test was applied to compare male and female groups and see the difference between them. With a focus on CKSB, this study contributes to the success of international marketing strategies to attain higher competitive advantages.

COORNET: AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO SURFACE PROBLEMATIC CONTENT, MALICIOUS ACTORS, AND COORDINATED NETWORKS

As much as the field of mis/disinformation studies flourished during the last few years, the efforts to measure its prevalence and effects are often hindered or significantly limited by the fuzziness of the phenomenon under study. Differently from approaches based on sole content or actors detection, the authors implement an integrated approach to understand the interplay between manipulative actors, deceptive behavior, and harmful content. To do so, the authors present a study on patterns of coordinated activity on Facebook (named “Coordinated Link Sharing Behavior”) during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy. Coordinated Link Sharing Behavior” (CLSB) refers to the coordinated shares of the same news article in a very short timeframe by networks of pages, groups, and verified public profiles. CLSB is a strategy used to boost the reach of content by gaming algorithms that govern the distribution of posts. Additionally, this coordinated activity has been proven to be consistently associated with the spread of problematic information before the 2018 and 2019 Italian elections. In this paper, the authors devote specific attention to discuss the methodology and tool employed in the context of existing literature on mis/disinformation as well as to present the results of the case study.
