  abstract  = {As overconsumption has negative effects on ecological balance, social equality, and individual well-being, reducing consumption levels among the materially affluent is an emerging strategy for sustainable development. Today's youth form a crucial target group for intervening in unsustainable overconsumption habits and for setting the path and ideas on responsible living. This article explores young people's motivations for engaging in three behavioural patterns linked to anti-consumption (voluntary simplicity, collaborative consumption, and living within one's means) in relation to sustainability. Applying a qualitative approach, laddering interviews reveal the consequences and values behind the anti-consumption behaviours of young people of ages 14 to 24 according to a means-end chains analysis. The findings highlight potential for and the challenges involved in motivating young people to reduce material levels of consumption for the sake of sustainability. Related consumer policy tools from the fields of education and communication are identified. This article provides practical implications for policy makers, activists, and educators. Consumer policies may strengthen anti-consumption among young people by addressing individual benefits, enabling reflection on personal values, and referencing credible narratives. The presented insights can help give a voice to young consumers, who struggle to establish themselves as key players in shaping the future consumption regime.},

  abstract  = {In many revenue management applications risk-averse decision-making is crucial. In dynamic settings, however, it is challenging to find the right balance between maximizing expected rewards and minimizing various kinds of risk. In existing approaches utility functions, chance constraints, or (conditional) value at risk considerations are used to influence the distribution of rewards in a preferred way. Nevertheless, common techniques are not flexible enough and typically numerically complex. In our model, we exploit the fact that a distribution is characterized by its mean and higher moments. We present a multi-valued dynamic programming heuristic to compute risk-sensitive feedback policies that are able to directly control the moments of future rewards. Our approach is based on recursive formulations of higher moments and does not require an extension of the state space. Finally, we propose a self-tuning algorithm, which allows to identify feedback policies that approximate predetermined (risk-sensitive) target distributions. We illustrate the effectiveness and the flexibility of our approach for different dynamic pricing scenarios. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.},

  abstract  = {Purpose This study aims to explore under which institutional and organizational conditions the national e-government reform efforts of EU member states lead to very high availability of e-services. Design/methodology/approach Following e-government literature of information systems and public administration research, this study applies an analytical framework encompassing characteristics of the national politico-administrative system (state structure, government capacity, managerial innovation orientation and civil service system) to understand why a common policy framework does not lead to convergence but great variety in the degree of e-service availability. A comparative case study approach using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) is applied to systematically compare e-service availability in the former 28 EU member states. Findings Three configurations of sufficient conditions are identified: government capacity in conjunction with either bureaucratic human resource practices, centralized state structure or managerial innovation orientation. Three country clusters are derived: effective bureaucrats, effective centralists and effective managers. Originality/value The results demonstrate the importance of administrative effectiveness for the digital transformation. Rather than mimicking best practices, countries are advised to learn from better performing countries that are most similar in terms of institutional and organizational characteristics of the politico-administrative system.},

Die damit verbundene Unsicherheit l{\"a}sst Entscheider vielfach die Verantwortung an teure Personalauswahlverfahren oder an Personalberater abgeben. Diese Arbeit gibt einen {\"U}berblick {\"u}ber die bestehende Personalauswahlforschung und zeigt dabei auf, wie das rationale Paradigma in der Personalauswahl Emotionen als Entscheidungshilfe bisher systematisch ausgegrenzt. Denn Personalverantwortliche stoßen im Rahmen der Auswahlentscheidung immer wieder auf die Frage nach dem „richtigen" Verh{\"a}ltnis von Emotionen und Verstand: Kann oder soll ich sogar meinen Gef{\"u}hlen vertrauen? Um eine Antwort auf diese Frage zu finden, wurden mehrere Entscheider vom Top-Management bis zum Kleinunternehmer befragt. Das Ergebnis ist eine Studie, welche die vielf{\"a}ltigen Strategien im Umgang mit Emotionen in Entscheidungsprozessen analysiert und darstellt. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie Emotionen einerseits Entscheider behindern, st{\"o}ren und Kosten verursachen und wie man anderseits mit einer gewinnbringenden Integration von Emotionen zu besseren Personalentscheidungen gelangen kann. Dabei verkn{\"u}pft die vorliegende Untersuchung die neuesten Erkenntnisse der Hirnforschung mit der praxisorientierten Welt von Personalentscheidern. Emotionen sind Teil von Entscheidungen. Dies f{\"u}r sich zu erkennen und richtig zu nutzen, f{\"u}hrt nach Ansicht des Autors zu besseren und zufriedenstellenderen Entscheidungen.},

  abstract  = {Purpose The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the rising waves of workplace militancy in the public sector and to provide insights into the perceptions that frame justification for industrial action among Ugandan public sector employees. Design/methodology/approach In-depth interviews and documentary analysis, analysed qualitatively, as well as a review of theoretical and empirical literature. Findings Public school teachers and public university lecturers in Uganda who frequently engage in industrial action mainly rationalise their engagement by the absence, or the ineffectiveness of alternative conflict resolution mechanisms. The findings also show that industrial action, even in resource-constrained settings like Uganda, is stimulated more by the desire to achieve equity rather than by the basic desire to improve working conditions. It is also notable that new, often unstructured, forms of workplace militancy continue to emerge in the public sector, and waves of industrial action are shifting from the industrial to the public sector. Practical implications Whereas industrial action is a protected labour right, the findings of this research strongly suggest that public employees do not necessarily enjoy their right to engage, but only reluctantly take industrial action as a "last resort". The findings will, therefore, help public managers and policymakers to appreciate their responsibility in reducing the compulsion for industrial action among public employees. Originality/value This paper provides a general explanation for industrial action from the perspective of the people involved, rather than explaining the causality of specific strike actions. At a time when industrial action is generally declining in the developed industrialised states, this paper sheds light on the rise in collective action in developing countries and especially in the public sector.},

  abstract  = {This study seeks to explain the major drivers of trading activity in commodity futures markets and gage the effect of trading activity on commodity prices. Rather than concentrating on a specific commodity subgroup or a particular type of commodity traders, we provide an extensive overview of the behavior across all market participants and their influence on commodity prices by using a broad set of commodity futures contracts. Although commodity futures returns show co-movement with financial fundamentals (U.S. dollar index, equity, and bond markets), based on the Disaggregated Commitment of Traders Report (DCOT), this relationship cannot be attributed to trading activity. Pricing in commodity markets can be predominantly attributed to hedgers and influential speculators (money managers), whereas small speculators (nonreportable traders) are crucial to some soft commodity futures similar to dealers in metals commodity futures. Furthermore, we find limited cases where inventory changes exert a sizable influence on position changes of DCOT traders.},
