Operations flexibility in events organization

The aim of this study was to understand the interrelation between operations flexibility and the adverse impacts associated with risks in event organization during its execution. For this, a multiple case study was carried out among six Brazilian event-organizing entities. A qualitative study was conducted through structured interviews and deductive content analysis. Data triangulation was obtained by using the post-event reports of events organized by those entities. The study identified strategies used to deal with variability related to the risks present in the execution of events and the interrelation between adverse impacts associated with the risks and the types of operations flexibility used. Furthermore, the authors propose “internal infrastructure flexibility” since operations flexibility literature does not adequately explain the changes in the internal structure found in the field research.     

Understanding the FLE-based organizational knowledge creation process in hospitality firms

This study explores how front-line employees' (FLE) knowledge is stepwise transformed into a hotel's organizational knowledge. It combines insights from organizational knowledge creation theory with empirical evidence from three Chinese five-star hotels. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews and reading archives, and analyzed using thematic analysis. We develop a novel framework comprising three types of FLEs' knowledge activities–knowledge demonstration (KD), knowledge justification (KJ), and knowledge re-contextualization (KRC)–which can routinely trigger the hotel's bottom-up organizational knowledge creation process. We also explain how FLEs' KD/KJ/KRC activities facilitate the hotel's organizational knowledge creation practices by examining changes in the new knowledge's scope of application and the participant structure of knowledge-related interactions induced by these activities. This study contributes to knowledge management research in hospitality by proposing a new perspective that encompasses FLEs' knowledge activities and the concomitant knowledge transformation that occurs in hotels.

Leisure as a Resource in Transcending Negative Life Events: Self-Protection,Self-Restoration,and Personal Transformation

Negative life events, such as the unexpected loss of a loved one, a disabling accident or a natural disaster, are inevitably distressing and disruptive. Coping with and recovering from such events generally requires a variety of personal and social resources. Previous research on leisure and coping has suggested that leisure orientations and relationships can be important in reducing the likelihood that stress becomes debilitating in some way. But the results of that work are equivocal and generally do not distinguish leisure resources that make events less stressful from those that are employed in coping with stressful events after they occur. This analysis examines the leisure-coping literature as well as recent work on the dynamics of coping and the impact of pleasant events and concludes in identifying four distinguishable functions of leisure that relate to self-protection, self-restoration, and personal transformation.

Deciphering ‘Islamic hospitality’: Developments,challenges and opportunities

This paper examines the principles and practices of Islamic hospitality, outlining the diverse ways in which Islam intersects with ‘hospitality’ and the ‘hospitality industry’. The intangible elements of Islamic hospitality are initially discussed, particularly the importance of the host–guest relationship and differing cultural interpretations. The discussion then evaluates the tangible aspects of Islamic hospitality through identifying trends, developments and challenges within the hotel sector, the food production and service sector, and the festivals and events sector. The work adopts a global perspective, examining Islamic hospitality with reference to both OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) countries and non-OIC countries. The paper also considers new sector opportunities and acknowledges the social difficulties associated with the development of Islamic hospitality within the Western world, notably Islamophobia. Finally, the paper indicates ways forward for future research.     

Analyzing the effects of social impacts of events on satisfaction and loyalty

The purpose of this study is to examine the social impacts of events on participants’ satisfaction and whether loyalty is a result of this satisfaction when taking attendance to event into consideration. This study uses data from a sample of 542 participants who participated in the Kirkpinar Oil Wrestling Festival. Factor analysis was performed, and the data was sorted into seven different categories: community benefits, cultural and educational benefits, quality of life concerns, community resource concerns, attendance to event, satisfaction, and loyalty. Structural equation modeling was performed, and the hypotheses were tested using bootstrap confidence intervals in addition to classical testing procedures. The hypothesis results showed a direct effect on quality of life concerns and attendance to event. In events on satisfaction, there was also a direct effect on loyalty. In addition, there was an indirect effect on quality of life concerns and attendance to events on loyalty through satisfaction.     

苛敛型导师对科研创造力的影响：情感事件理论视角

根据情感事件理论,探究苛敛型导师影响研究生科研创造力的情感作用机制及边界条件。采用层级回归和Bootstrap法,对来自北京、上海、广东三地的342份全日制研究生数据进行分析,结果表明：①苛敛型导师与科研创造力显著负相关;②消极情感在苛敛型导师与科研创造力之间起部分中介作用;③敌意归因偏差不仅显著调节苛敛型导师与消极情感的关系,而且显著调节消极情感在苛敛型导师与科研创造力之间的中介作用,即敌意归因偏差越高,苛敛型导师对消极情感的促进作用越大,进而显著抑制科研创造力。
