An extensive body of literature has explored the key determinants of employee job satisfaction placing particular emphasis on individual differences and job characteristics. However, variations in job satisfaction levels persist across countries, highlighting the importance of contextual and institutional factors across different national contexts. This study investigates the role of formal and informal institutions in shaping job satisfaction. Based on a sample of 10.822 employees from 26 European countries, the study employs a multilevel methodology to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings demonstrate that national institutions significantly contribute to cross-country differences in job satisfaction. In particular, the positive impact of labour freedom on job satisfaction is more pronounced in countries characterised by low power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, and high individualism. Conversely, in countries with high power distance, high uncertainty avoidance, and low individualism, the relationship between labour freedom and job satisfaction is weaker. These results emphasise the critical role of cultural and institutional contexts.

Previous research has examined the relationship between CSR and innovation and has suggested that the former might positively affect the latter; however, the impact of CSR on innovation success needs further attention. This study aims to develop a deeper understanding of how environmental and social CSR are related to innovation performance and whether the implementation of organizational practices might moderate this relationship. The results are based on an unbalanced panel of 14,313 observations of 3713 firms covering 2011–2015. Using random-effects probit models and the estimation of average marginal effects (AMEs), this paper contributes to the literature on CSR by explaining how CSR dimensions affect innovation success differently and by addressing how this effect is influenced by organizational innovation. The results show that while environmental CSR orientation proves beneficial for the generation of process innovation, social CSR orientation contributes to the generation of both kinds of technological innovations only when internal organizational practices are implemented. This study provides valuable insights for managers aiming to implement a CSR perspective in their strategies to support the pursuit of innovation., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding

This study analyzes the relationship between digitalization and sustainability in the manufacturing industry, considering the effects on sustainability barriers and the existence of differences in the level of development between countries and regions. While digitalization can improve efficiency and support sustainable goals, mixed results from previous studies suggest that there is still a need to understand how this relationship works. Using a sample of 1334 manufacturing companies with more than 20 employees from the Flash Eurobarometer 486 database and by conducting multiple regression analysis, the results reveal that although digital technologies can directly enhance environmental sustainability, the level of development moderates the effect of digitalization on the various barriers to sustainability. This study contributes to the field by deepening the knowledge about the trade-offs between digitalization and sustainability in virtue of the existence of digital divide between different levels of development among countries, The authors acknowledge that this work was supported through the following projects: PID2020-115018RB-C31 and (AEI/FEDER, UE) research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds; PID2019-105001GB-I00 (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación-Spain), ECO2017-86305-C4-4-R (Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad- Spain).

Purpose: Mental well-being of employees has decreased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the data collected by Eurofound in the electronic survey 'Living, working and COVID-19' (2020), this paper aims to identify which aspects of the work-related quality of life and other sociodemographic variables can explain the mental well-being of workers in, especially, convulsive times like those experienced during COVID-19 and beyond. The main objective is to improve labor welfare in the future. Design/methodology/approach: With a sample of 8,777 observations (Round 2), cross-sectional analyses were conducted. Findings: The results indicated that all factors of work quality of life such as working conditions, work–family interface, job stress and job satisfaction were predictors of the mental well-being of workers. Likewise, being a woman, being of mature age, having a partner and having good training/education were variables also associated with mental well-being. Originality/value: The research revealed that the pandemic in Europe had a greater impact on the psychological well-being of women compared to men. Also, younger populations exhibited decreased levels of mental health., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación [grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31].

Despite having consensus on the negative relationship between individuals’ biased attitude towards externally
generated ideas and the applicability of inbound open innovation (OI) as a strategy, we find a gap in the
literature regarding how individual unwillingness – not-invented-here syndrome (NIHS) – actually affects the
innovation performance achieved through collaboration and what management tools are available to counter it.
This study addresses these two questions by testing the relationship between NIHS and innovation performance
and the impact of innovation climate as a way to reduce this negative attitude. Based on quantitative survey data
collected from 250 firms across France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, we confirm that innovation climate is a useful
management tool for managing NIHS by opening individuals towards external ideas, ultimately helping firms to
improve their innovation performance through collaboration. Most interestingly, we also find that the impact of
NIHS on inbound open innovation performance achieved through a collaborative project is mediated through
external social capital rather than having a direct impact. Since external social capital serves as a link between
two collaborating firms, it’s weakening caused by NIHS, subsequently leads to reduced project performance
achieved through the inbound OI strategy., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding received through

Purpose: Doctoral programs play a crucial role in promoting innovation and technology transfer in universities. To design these programs effectively and with a co-design perspective, it is essential to consider all stakeholders involved in the process, including teachers, students and employers. The main objective of this study is to enhance postgraduate programs to improve students' employability. Design/methodology/approach: This empirical study was conducted over a three-year period and employed semi-structured interviews as its primary research methodology. In the first phase, 21 in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers from various sectors. The second phase involved 20 interviews, and the final phase of the study included 18 interviews with the same managers from previous phases. Findings: The study's main results revealed that the international networks, language proficiency and analytical skills of doctoral students were highly valued by employers. The main findings come from companies with doctoral students. Therefore, the skills were identified during the learning experience of the PhD graduates in the companies. Practical implications: The study's results can guide improvements in postgraduate program curricula and design to enhance students' employability. Originality/value: This research presents a novel approach to its findings. On the one hand, the study's conclusions may provide valuable insights for business agents, encouraging them to hire PhD students. On the other hand, it aims to drive necessary changes that promote more PhD students' focus on non-academic careers, creating significant value for research and innovation in the private sector., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Grant PID2020-115018RB-C31.

The main objective of this article is to study the evolution of the Spanish fishing industry, with a specific focus on
examining the correlation between actual catches by Spanish vessels and recorded landings against national
Total Allowable Catches, which may contribute to improving the current state of the Common Fisheries Policy.
Firstly, we offer an overview of the geographical, economic, and legal factors surrounding Spanish fisheries,
along with an examination of the Common Fisheries Policy and relevant international agreements impacting
these fisheries. Subsequently, we analyze three species, namely hake, anchovy, and cod as they are the most
traded fish in the Spanish markets. Thirdly, we conduct an examination to provide information regarding the role
of Common Fishery Policy quotas and to explore potential reasons behind the observed results. The main findings
reveal the identification of a significant lack of alignment between the Common Fishery Policy and its resulting
implementation through the Total Allowable Catches over the last decade., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Grant PID2020-115018RB-C31.

Information asymmetry about the employee's state of health means that workers may decide to work (or not) when they are sick, which turns presenteeism into a principal-agent relationship. From this new perspective, presenteeism can be explained by some distinct and original factors such as implicit incentives related to motivation and a sense of autonomy (empowerment, job usefulness, and recognition) and explicit incentives given by wages and other non-economic benefits (training and career prospects). In a sample of European workers using multilevel (by country) Tobit models, we find that short-term incentives and workers' empowerment increase presenteeism, while long-term incentives reduce it. As expected, supervision is ineffective in controlling presenteeism, while relationships based on trust have a positive impact. Finally, we propose several practices related to incentives, training, monitoring, occupational health and safety and job design specifically intended to manage presenteeism and its consequences in six areas of the human resources function., The authors wish to thank for grants PID2020-114460GB-C32 and PID2020-115018RB-C31 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.

With this study, we attempt to understand how emotions influence the intergenerational transfer of knowledge in family businesses from the perspective of emotional heterogeneity. We use a qualitative methodology of multiple case studies to comprehensively address theissue. The results indicate that emotions influence knowledge transmission and learning, sotransmission is more effective in Enmeshed and Balanced family businesses than in Disengaged ones., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding received through the TED2021-132446B-I00 (MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) research project and the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR, and the PID2020-115018RB-C31 (AEI/ FEDER, UE) research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds.

Involvement in sports is considered a powerful way to generate social capital. However, the role of sport engagement in the development of social relationships of older adults has not received much attention. Remarkably, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the quality and diversity of social relations built through active sport participation and spectatorship. This paper attempts to assess the relationship between sport engagement and various measures of network social capital, including the extension and quality of social networks and the heterogeneity of personal relationships. Also, it proposes new and more informative measurements of an individual's quantity and quality of social ties. By analysing data from a survey in Spain (N = 600) and applying logistic regressions, the results show that sport participation and attendance at sporting events are closely related to different dimensions of network social capital. Concerning people who are not actively engaged in sports, more extensive social networks characterise those who frequently attend sporting events. In contrast, active sport participation is associated with the extensity and quality measures of social connectedness, the level of satisfaction with friends and the opportunity to enjoy close relationships. Therefore, this paper provides new evidence on how sport engagement may result in tighter and extensive networks for older adults and serve as support for emphasising sports, physical activity and leisure as strategies for maintaining and boosting older people's social and psychological health., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Spain (JMS-S and PR, grant number CSO2017-86178-R); and the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Spain (FL-L, grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31).

Collaboration with external partners for innovation is seen as a major driver of novel ideas. Previous studies have revealed the importance of collaboration with different partners on innovation performance; however, many questions regarding this association remain unresolved. This study aims to analyse the effects of collaboration with different types of partners on the innovation performance and how the cognitive distance affects this relationship. This study also distinguishes between incremental and radical innovations as outcomes of cooperation, and provides differing implications for the two innovations types. Based on empirical analyses performed on a sample of 12,000 Spanish firms, we found supportive evidence that both radical and incremental innovation require a distinct number of collaboration partners to optimise innovation performance. Further, relationship between the number of partners and innovation performance is moderated by the cognitive distance between the focal firm and the respective partner: positively for radical innovation and negatively for incremental innovation performance., His research was funded and conducted within the frameworks of the following projects: PID2020-115018RB-C31 and (AEI/FEDER, UE) research project financedby the ECO2017-86305-C4-4-R (AEI/FEDER, UE and the European Regional Development Funds; Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation PID2019-105001GB-I00 and PID2020-115018RB-C31(Ministerio de Ciencia eInnovación-Spain; Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities).

The purpose of the paper is to explore the multi-dimensional and intersecting
nature of proximity to drive innovation performance. Applying a multidimensional
proximity framework, the study provides a deeper understanding of
the importance of substitution and overlap mechanisms in the relation between
geographical and cognitive proximity dimensions in innovation performance. The
paper further analyses the moderation effect of organisational innovation in this
relationship. Multivariate analysis proves the interaction effects between geographical
and cognitive proximity, where cognitive proximity both substitutes and
complements geographical proximity. However, external knowledge search for
innovation along proximity dimensions differs depending on the type of innovation.
Our findings corroborate the proximity paradox caused by lock-in effects
with the optimal level of proximity influenced by the interdependencies between
proximity dimensions. This inverse U-shaped relationship is flatter for firms that
have adopted organisational innovation. External knowledge linkages should be
tailored to the favourable characteristic of proximity to enhance firm innovation
performance., The authors acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under Grants PID2020-115018RB-C31 and RTI2018-093791-B-C21. Open accesss funding provided by the Public University of Navarra.

Purpose: this paper investigates the impact of board gender diversity on the readability of the annual
reports of family-controlled public companies.
Design/methodology/approach: grounded in the premises of the restricted and extended views of the
socioemotional wealth (SEW) approach and executive power theory, this paper explores the ways in which
family-affiliated female directors influence report readability in a sample of 133 publicly traded US companies
listed in the Fortune 1,000. We use the system GMM estimator, which deals with two key sources of
endogeneity by controlling first for reverse causality, using the lags of the endogenous variables as
instruments, and then for omitted variables, capturing the individual effect.
Findings: our analysis confirms that the significant enhancement in annual report readability is associated
with the presence of female family directors, particularly those who are insiders within the company.
In contrast, non-family female directors and family outsider directors appear to have a negative impact on
annual report readability.
Originality/value: while scholars have increasingly focused on variations in annual report readability
among family firms, the contribution of female directors to this phenomenon has received minimal attention. In
our study, we integrate the theories of restricted and extended SEW perspectives with the theory of women's
executive power within the board. This integration is essential for considering two critical factors: firstly, the
primacy of their SEW objectives, and, secondly, their legitimacy within the board., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding received through the TED2021-132446B-I00 (MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) research project and the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR, and the PID2020-115018RB-C31 (AEI/FEDER, UE) research project and PID2019-104304GB-I00/AEI/10.

Research question: this paper contributes to research concerned with gender comparison in sport, considering handball, traditionally overlooked in studies of competitive balance. Research methods: we estimate measures of concentration and dominance to analyse the competitive balance in eight European handball leagues (both female and male) in four European countries (Denmark, France, Germany and Spain) during 15 seasons. Results and Findings: the results show statistically significant differences between the female and the male handball leagues. With the exception of France, the level of concentration is higher in the female than in the male leagues. In terms of dominance, there is less difference between the genders. In terms of evolution, the indicators reflect a deterioration of the competitive balance mainly in the female leagues. Implications: the analyses suggest that different measures should be put in place to increase the competitive balance in female leagues, through the transfer of resources from the male to the female leagues. To reduce the high level of dominance, a redistribution of resources among the teams should be considered to reduce the 'drag effect'. Research contribution: this is the first time that the most important European handball leagues have been examined to test the gender gap in competitive balance, with statistically significant differences being found., This work was supported by the Spanish Minister of Science and Innovation [Grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31].

Purpose – Sexual harassment, a global concern, varies in prevalence across sectors. This article analyzes in detail the higher prevalence of harassment in these sectors.
Design/methodology/approach – Drawing on data from a representative sample of European workers and using the inductive method, we posit four propositions regarding the organizational dynamics in four different sector-specific scenarios.
Findings – Contrary to perception, our research finds no conclusive evidence supporting a higher prevalence of sexual harassment within the armed forces. Economic and labor conditions drive sexual harassment in the entertainment industry, while the hospitality and non-profit sectors exhibit an elevated incidence potentially attributed to environmental factors. The healthcare industry presents a concerning scenario, with heightened prevalence due solely to organizational.
Originality/value – The originality of the paperis in its focus on how external and environmental factors, rather than just internal organizational mechanisms, contribute to sector-specific dynamics of sexual harassment. This approach provides deeper insights for developing tailored interventions and prevention strategies across different sectors., The authors wish to thank for grants PID2020-114460GB-C32 and PID2020-115018RB-C31 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033

Esta investigación examina la relación entre la transmisión de la orientación emprendedora (OE) y la riqueza socioemocional (SEW), así como sus implicaciones para la innovación dentro de las empresas familiares. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un estudio de caso único sobre una empresa familiar española mediante entrevistas y revisión documental. Los datos fueron analizados utilizando análisis temático y análisis de incidentes críticos. Los hallazgos de este estudio de caso destacan que la relación entre la Orientación Emprendedora y la Riqueza Socioemocional en empresas familiares es compleja y posee importantes implicaciones para la innovación. La interrelación dinámica entre la orientación emprendedora y la riqueza socioemocional se caracteriza por una simbiosis que se refuerza mutuamente, lo que contribuye a garantizar la supervivencia a largo plazo de la empresa familiar analizada., This research examines the relationship between the transmission of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and socio-emotional wealth (SEW), and their implications for family firms' innovation. To achieve this, a single case study was conducted on a Spanish family business through interviews and document review. Data were analyzed using thematic and critical incident analysis. The findings of the case study underscore that the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and socio-emotional wealth is intricate and has significant implications for innovation. The dynamic relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and socio-emotional wealth is characterized by a mutually reinforcing symbiosis, which contributes to ensure the long-term survival of the analyzed family business., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding received through the TED2021-132446B-I00 (MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR, and the PID2020-115018RB-C31 (AEI/ FEDER, UE) research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of female CEO board members on listed family firms’ corporate default risk, integrating upper echelons theory with social role theory and the socio-emotional wealth approach and proxying default risk with the Black–Scholes–Merton model. It also searches for possible differences attributable to the type of female CEO.
Design/methodology/approach: This study is applied to a longitudinal sample of listed US family firms. After a preliminary analysis of the main descriptive, several models are estimated with the system GMM estimator, which is a panel data estimator. The models are dynamic, including the lagged value of the dependent variable. In addition, the model estimation is repeated with a different measure of default risk, for robustness.
Findings: This research findings show that default risk diminishes in the presence of a female CEO, whose reduction is even greater if she is a family member. The results are proven to be robust to the measure for proxying default risk.
Originality/value: This study primarily contributes to the existing literature by exploring a possible link between female CEOs, particularly those with a family affiliation, and a lower level of default risk in family firms. It also provides practical implications for policymakers, who would be advised to promote conditions enabling women to contribute towards family business viability. In addition, this study offers encouragement for family business owners to value the potential of their female family members in company succession processes., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (Grants PID2019-104304GB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, PID2020-115018RB-C31, and TED2021-132446B-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR), and the Ramón Areces Foundation.

In 2018, the media spotlight fell on several high-profile non-profit organizations (NPOs) in
connection with sexual harassment (SH). Since then, a flood of SH cases has severely
impacted the image and reputation of the non-profit sector. NPOs have been accused of
attempting to cover up SH and, in some cases, of leniency towards the harassers. However,
these claims have not been rigorously investigated. In this paper, we study the role and
behavior of harassers and argue that they may target organizations operating in the
nonprofit sector owing to specific conditions that enable them to avoid detection and
punishment. We argue that an environment advantageous to those who perpetrate
harassment is created by several exogenous (non-organizational) factors, such as the
vulnerability of aid recipients, the lack of legal protection of volunteers, and, in some cases,
the cultural tolerance of discrimination against women. From this novel perspective,
traditional anti-SH policies that focus on reacting to harassment and supporting the victim
are viewed as necessary—but insufficient—approaches to the problem. We therefore
propose a series of complementary policies that enable NPOs to adapt their operational
environments in order to curb SH., The authors wish to thank PID2020-114460GB-C32 and PID2020-115018RB-C31 for grants funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.

Purpose – This paper studies leadership behavior in relation to leader gender, gender congruence, and their relationships with employee job satisfaction over time. Theoretical framework – Drawing on the perspective of gender stereotypes and the role congruity framework, this study examines how communal stereotypes socially attributed to females can compromise their assessment as competent leaders. Design/methodology/approach – Two sets of data from the European Working Conditions Survey were studied. Mean comparisons and multivariate regression analyses were carried out on samples of 25,649 at Time 1 and 26,047 at Time 2. Findings – The main findings show different leadership behaviors between male and female leaders. Contrary to expectations, females displayed more of both instrumental-and relationship-oriented behaviors, and this difference has increased over time. However, fewer differences are observed in instrumental-oriented behaviors. The results also suggest that employees' gender affects how some leadership behaviors are perceived. Finally, no gender differences were found in job satisfaction, as the behaviors studied positively relate to it. Practical & social implications of research – From a practical perspective, fostering a diverse array of leadership behaviors is important for enhancing employee job satisfaction within organizations. Female leaders are increasingly viewed positively in the workplace. Originality/value – Female leaders show a more versatile set of leadership behaviors compared to their male counterparts. Differences in relationship-oriented behaviors persist, and the gender of the employee is important in perceiving which behaviors male or female leaders engage in more., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Grant PID2020-115018RB-C31.

Purpose: This article explores psychological ownership (PO) in family firms (FFs); its impact on interpersonal relationships, attitudes and behaviors within the organization; and its importance for long-term success. It also highlights the factors that contribute to PO in these types of businesses. Design/methodology/approach: The article conducts a literature review that utilizes existing research to delve into the phenomenon of PO within the context of FFs. Findings: The article emphasizes that PO significantly impacts employee behavior and attitudes toward FFs. It shows the favorable influence of PO on employees' conduct and mindset. However, excessive PO can lead to disputes and obstruct the transfer of control. Practical implications: The success of family businesses depends on nurturing strong, positive PO in future generations and among nonfamily members. Originality/value: The article contributes to PO literature in FFs by analyzing its influence on FFs. It highlights factors affecting PO formation and its consequences and highlights novel lines of future research., The authors express their gratitude for the funding received through the Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) project TED2021-132446B-I00, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/.

El emprendimiento y la empresa familiar ¿son dos disciplinas hermanas o distintas? Ambas son disciplinas con entidad propia, pero desde el inicio ambas han estado fuertemente conectadas. De hecho, las empresas familiares han sido consideradas como un elemento central del proceso emprendedor donde la influencia de la familia es particularmente relevante en las primeras etapas de la creación de la empresa. Sin embargo, la etapa inicial de estas empresas ha sido poco explorada. Este artículo tiene un doble objetivo. En primer lugar, proporciona una pequeña perspectiva histórica de la evolución de las dos disciplinas académicas y sus interrelaciones, y, en segundo lugar, trata de resumir las principales conclusiones de la escasa literatura sobre la perspectiva del arraigo familiar que estudia el binomio familia-emprendimiento. Por último, el trabajo propone diferentes líneas de investigación para futuros estudios relacionados con la empresa familiar y el emprendimiento., Is entrepreneurship and family business two sibling or distinct disciplines? Both are disciplines with their own entity, but from the beginning, they have been strongly connected. In fact, family businesses have been considered a central element of the entrepreneurial process where family influence is particularly relevant in the early stages of business creation. However, the initial stage of these companies has been little explored. This article has a double objective. First, it provides a brief historical perspective on the evolution of the two academic disciplines and their interrelationships, and second, it seeks to summarize the main conclusions of the scarce literature on the perspective of family embeddedness that studies the family-entrepreneurship binomial. Finally, the paper proposes different lines of research for future studies related to family business and entrepreneurship., Los autores agradecen la financiación recibida a través del proyecto de I+D+i TED2021-132446B-I00

This study examines how the integration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) criteria in executive compensation can improve green innovation performance in European countries. Using agency theory and stakeholder theory, and a database of 5,603 firm-year observations from European companies in the period 2012–2021, we find that CSR aligns the interests of senior executives with the company’s green innovation goals through green compensation contracts. We also explore the indirect effect in this relationship and reveal that the implementation of green practices mediates the impact of CSR contracting on green innovation performance. These findings indicate that CSR contracting as an effective governance mechanism could be strengthened by green practices, such as reducing resource use, water efficiency, energy reuse, emission reduction and pollution prevention. This study offers valuable insights for senior executives and policymakers who wish to manage CSR initiatives and green practices to improve their green innovation performance., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding received through

Within the framework of institutional theory, this study explores how the proactiveness of focal (or buying) manufacturing firms, demonstrated through the adoption of various sustainability practices, influences the sustainability performance of suppliers. Additionally, it examines how the leadership capability of buying firms, particularly in terms of supply chain leadership, can play a crucial role in this link. Through empirical analysis of a sample taken from the fourth round of the High-Performance Management (HPM) project, our study reveals compelling evidence indicating that buying firms, by adopting diverse sustainability practices, such as internal initiatives, monitoring efforts and collaborative approaches with suppliers, are able to create distinct institutional pressures. These pressures serve as a conduit for the diffusion of a shared set of sustainability goals, values and norms among suppliers, ultimately contributing to the development of sustainability competences and improving their overall sustainability performance. Furthermore, our findings suggest that when buying firms undertake a leading position, they can effectively translate isomorphism pressures into sustainability improvements on the supplier side. Overall, this study sheds light on important and understudied aspects of sustainability practices in buyer¿supplier relationships and underscores the critical role that supply chain leadership can play in promoting sustainable practices across the entire supply chain., This research was funded and conducted within the frameworks of the following projects: PID2020-115018RB-C31 and AEI/FEDER, UE research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades) and the European Regional Development Fund; PID2019-105001GB-I00 (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación—Spain); and ECO2017-86305-C4-4-R (Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital, Gobierno de España).

Social interaction through technology, professional intervention through digital tools, and reorganization of public and private organizations to digitalize their procedures and work with reliable and robust data are three processes that coexist and feed off each other, giving rise to the development of what has been called digital social work. In this article, we briefly analyze some of the characteristics of digital social work, the challenges faced in digitalized societies, and the broadening of the debate on digital divide, which goes beyond access issues, and focuses on what is now considered a key challenge for social welfare: digital vulnerability., The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The study is from the project ¿Research of Excellence on Digital Technologies and Wellbeing CZ.02.01.01/00/22_008/0004583¿ which is co-financed by the European Union.

This research conducted an analysis to ascertain the role that a professional sports club plays in the development of social capital and civic pride within its host community. We analysed the determinants of social trust and civic pride by means of an ordered Probit model and a standard binary Probit model based on the information provided in a survey. Our results suggest the existence of a link between club identification and civic pride, but there is no relationship with social trust (the proxy of social capital). The proposed models offer a clearer understanding of the intangible and indirect impacts on a community associated with hosting a professional football club. They emphasize certain social and community impacts that exhibit characteristics of non-pecuniary public goods., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades [Grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31 and Grant number ID2023-147602OB-I00].

Purpose: This study aims to explore how sustainability drivers interact with national culture to explain the adoption of buyer–supplier environmental sustainability practices. Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on Institutional Theory, this study proposes three sets of hypotheses focused on the role of key cultural dimensions: uncertainty avoidance, power distance and institutional collectivism. It uses a sample of 284 manufacturing plants across three industries and 14 countries to test these hypotheses, using regression analysis. Findings: Findings suggest that national culture matters in the adoption of buyer–supplier environmental practices; however, its effect is contingent upon the particular combination of cultural dimensions and drivers analyzed. Originality/value: This study enhances the understanding of the drivers behind buyer–supplier environmental practices by offering a novel examination of their interaction with national culture. This helps explain the heterogeneity in environmental sustainability adoption across countries., This research was funded and conducted within the frameworks of the following projects: PID2020-115018RB-C31 and (AEI/FEDER, UE) research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds; PID2019-105001GB-I00 (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación-Spain), ECO 2017–86305-C4-4-R (Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad).

Eradicating poverty is a fundamental objective of social work, both at local and at global levels. After COVID-19, the United Nations Commission for Social Development and Sustainable Development Goals, the global agenda developed by the International Association of Schools of Social Work, the International Council on Social Welfare and the International Federation of Social Workers have placed the fight against poverty and the role of decent work at the forefront of the public agenda. We analyse most recent publications on decent work, highlighting two strategies to promote poverty eradication from social work: participation and education., The authors disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31).

The theory of compensating differentials predicts that wages should compensate for differences in job characteristics, including the risk of death on the job. Empirically estimating these compensating differentials in real-world labor markets has, however, proven difficult. This paper explores the potential of job satisfaction regressions as an additional valuation approach to estimate the tradeoffs between wages and job amenities along the wage-amenity frontier. In this approach, job satisfaction scores act as a proxy for utility at work, and can be used to directly estimate the tradeoffs between wages and amenities at the job taken by the worker. Conventional hedonic wage regressions with data on thirty-five thousand workers across thirty European countries show limited evidence that European workers facing larger job risks and other workplace disamenities receive higher wages. On the other hand, using the same data, workers who perceive their jobs to be riskier, are absent more days from work due to work accidents, or are exposed to worse conditions at their workplace are less satisfied with their jobs, ceteris paribus, revealing a negative valuation of those job disamenities., This work was partially supported by the National Institutes of Health under Award 5R01AI156866-05 (Ferreira) and Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Grant PID2020-115018RB-C31 (Erro-Garcés and Martínez de Morentin).

This paper explores the impact of environmental practices on firm financial distressduring the COVID-19 pandemic in both emerging and developed countries. Analysinga sample of 12,181 firm observations from 2016 to 2021, our results indicate thatadopting of environmental practices leads to reduced financial distress and morecrisis-resilient economies. The mitigating effect of environmental practices is morepronounced in developed countries. This study provides crucial implications for gov-ernments and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of encouraging firms toadopt environmental practices to reduce the likelihood of default., Funding received through the PID2020-115018RB-C31 (AEI/FEDER, UE) and TED2021-132446B-I00 research projects financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and Next Generation European funds aswell as the PJUPNA2024-11704 research project funded by the Public University of Navarra.

Purpose: This work contributes to the debate on the link between environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria and firm innovation, incorporating ownership structure as a moderating variable. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to analyse the impact of ESG criteria on innovation, considering firm ownership as a catalyst that strengthens the effect of environmental and social practices on innovative performance. Findings: Family-owned firms, with their unique characteristics like long-term orientation and commitment to family values, strengthen the relationship between environmental and social practices and innovation performance. This suggests that such firms are better positioned to leverage their corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitments and activities. Practical implications: The findings offer valuable insights for decision-making in organizations, particularly family firms focused on innovation and sustainability. The research shows that investing in sustainability practices not only ensures ESG compliance but also significantly fosters innovation. Originality/value: This study contributes to the debate regarding the relationship between ESG criteria and firm innovative performance. It highlights how the implementation of ESG practices influences innovation, and particularly how firm ownership further enhances the relationship between environmental and social practices and firm innovative performance., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation PID

In the context of global concern for the environment and considering the observation that very few manufacturing companies have taken a more proactive position on sustainability, it has been suggested that the stakeholder approach can contribute to the study of sustainability management. Hence, this paper analyzes the relationship between a set of individual stakeholders pressures (STP) from different groups and the adoption and implementation of some specific sets of sustainability practices (SP) in manufacturing: internal and external monitoring and external collaborative. It also contributes to the open debate around the “monolithic” versus differentiated reaction to perceived STP, showing that companies respond selectively to the different stakeholder groups. Finally, this research also considers the possible influence of different country development contexts (developed vs. emerging countries), which may be very informative in the context of the growing globalization of operations. Using a large, worldwide, multicountry, and multi-informant sample of manufacturing plants from three industry sectors located in 15 emerging and developed countries, this study shows that the different stakeholders play different roles in the adoption and implementation of different sustainability practices, thus contributing to the open debate around a suitable balance of stakeholder pressures. This research further contributes to the debate around the convergence and divergence perspectives by supporting the “universal” adoption of sustainability practices (convergence perspective) as no statistical differences are found in stakeholder pressures in different country development contexts., Consejería de Transformacion Economica,

Purpose: Absorptive capacity (AC), the ability to leverage external knowledge for innovation, helps explain the mixed findings on family firms' innovation performance. Our research focuses on the CEO's role - whether family or non-family, and founding or later generation - in influencing AC. We also explore how firm size and environmental dynamism affect these relationships, offering insights into varying AC levels among family firms. Design/methodology/approach: OLS regression models were estimated to test the hypotheses using a sample of 364 family firms in Spain. Findings: Family firms¿ absorptive capacity is greater when the CEO is a family member, and even more so when the family CEO belongs to the founding family generation. While AC diminishes in larger family firms this effect is mitigated when the CEO is a family member. The predicted moderating effect of environmental dynamisms is not supported by the analyses. Originality: This paper adds insights about the drivers of heterogeneity in innovation among family firms, addressing recent calls for more nuanced views of how family members drive the strategic behavior of the business, and incorporating considerations of different types of family firms based on the identity of the firm CEO. The results overall support the theoretical claims, but also open up important questions for future studies., The author gratefully acknowledges the funding received through the TED2021-132446B-I00 (MICIN/

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the link between the adoption of sustainability practices and new product development (NPD) in manufacturing companies. From a triple bottom line (TBL) perspective and considering different theoretical approaches, this study hypothesises on the effect of both internal and external sustainability practices, distinguishing between collaborative and controlling initiatives, on the success of new products. Using a unique database of 281 companies across three industries taken from the fourth round of the High-Performance Manufacturing project, the findings shows that both monitoring and collaborative actions with suppliers demonstrate positive impacts on NPD success. Internal sustainability practices do not have a direct effect on NPD success but are determinant in supporting external sustainability practices., This research was funded and conducted within the frameworks of the following projects: PID2020-115018RB-C31 (AEI/FEDER, UE) research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds; PID2019-105001GB-I00 (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación-Spain), ECO 2017–86305-C4-4-R (Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad).

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate how home-based telework (HBT) affects job stress. The authors argue that an intrinsic effect of telework like work extension mediates this relationship. Work extension is reflected in two employee behaviours: working in free time and presentism. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed model has been estimated using the Preacher and Hayes bootstrap method for multiple mediation analysis, with 1,000 repetitions. The data used come from the sixth European Working Conditions Survey. Findings: The analysis indicates that HBT does not pose an inherent risk for job stress but causes a change in the employees' behaviour, increasing working in free time and presenteeism and thus job stress. The mediation model indicates that once these behaviours are controlled, the effect of HBT is to reduce stress. Research limitations/implications: The authors argue that companies should focus on human resource practices to control workers' behaviours that have a detrimental effect on job stress while institutions should regulate HBT. Originality/value: The analysis deepens the unclear relationship between HBT and job stress by introducing employees' behaviours concerning work extension into the equation., The authors wish to thank for grants PID 2020-114460GB-C32 and PID 2020-115018RB-C31 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.

From the perspective of social work, it is important to analyse food insecurity before and during the COVID-19, identify the best practices and how social work can contribute to improving living conditions. Using a meta-analysis, this article reviews how food security is addressed in the literature to better inform social policies from a social work perspective. A search of the literature revealed 217 articles between 2010 and 2021. The descriptors for the search were food security, food aid and social work. The main results are the identification of key aspects to inform social policies and promote sustainable social change worldwide., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31).

An extensive body of literature has explored the key determinants of employee job satisfaction placing particular emphasis on individual differences and job characteristics. However, variations in job satisfaction levels persist across countries, highlighting the importance of contextual and institutional factors across different national contexts. This study investigates the role of formal and informal institutions in shaping job satisfaction. Based on a sample of 10.822 employees from 26 European countries, the study employs a multilevel methodology to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings demonstrate that national institutions significantly contribute to cross-country differences in job satisfaction. In particular, the positive impact of labour freedom on job satisfaction is more pronounced in countries characterised by low power distance, low uncertainty avoidance, and high individualism. Conversely, in countries with high power distance, high uncertainty avoidance, and low individualism, the relationship between labour freedom and job satisfaction is weaker. These results emphasise the critical role of cultural and institutional contexts., The authors gratefully acknowledge the funding received through the PID2020-115018RB-C31 research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds.

This paper aims to analyse the relationship between perceived health and earnings across Europe. Empirical analysis is based on the last published round from the European Working Conditions Survey (N = 43,850) and offers updated evidence on the effect of earnings on perceived health in 35 countries. The main findings show a positive and significant relationship between earnings and health, which is consistent with the existing literature. Moreover, health seems to be U-shaped relative to earnings. On the other hand, age is negatively related to health, which is consistent with previous research. This paper shows the health differences between countries, where cultural, geographic, and economic differences imply health inequalities across countries. From a practical perspective, understanding the dynamics of perceived health and earnings’ processes can contribute to health policy., This research was funded by Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación under Grant PID2020-115018RB-C31.

Social workers worldwide must be concerned about how to overcome
poverty after the COVID-19. The 61st Session of United
Nations Commission for Social Development has highlighted
decent work as a priority for social workers and social welfare
practitioners after de COVID-19. Decent work is a key strategy to
overcome poverty in the post-pandemic time. A systematic review
of the literature revealed 225 articles from 2020 on this topic. The
descriptors were social work, decent work, good work, decent job,
good job, decent employment, and good employment. The results
obtained allow us to establish some recommendations to address
poverty from the perspective of social work, designing intervention
strategies to overcome inequalities., The work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación [PID2020-115018RB-C31].

The role that sports play in cross-border cooperation still remains unclear and under-researched. This paper aims to address this gap by conducting a qualitative study on the impact of basketball and hiking/mountaineering on cross-border cooperation in the New Aquitaine, Basque Country, and Navarre (NAEN) Euroregion. The research identified some significant barriers to enhancing cross-border sports cooperation, primarily associated with regional and national sports legislation and structure. However, the evidence also revealed a lack of information among sports agents regarding opportunities for cross-border sports participation. Also, we present some differences in terms of border cooperation for each sport analyzed. Some policy implications are suggested to increase cross-border cooperation in sports, focusing on creating networks for shared information and establishing clear roles and responsibilities among sports agents to enhance cooperation. These changes should precede the development of targeted logistical and financial support for sports activities in these border regions., This work was supported by the NAEN Euroregion in its 2020 call for projects. It was also partially supported both by the French Network of Houses of Human Sciences (RnMSH, France) and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation in Spain [grant number: Project PID2020-115018RB-C31].

The COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected the global mobility (GM) policies of multinational enterprises
(MNEs). Through interviews with policy decision-makers in 32 companies, we applied Interpretative Phenomenological
Analysis to examine how the pandemic accelerated changes in MNE policies and the management of
GM. Our framework builds on contingency theory, traditionally concerned with aligning organizational policies
with macro- and meso-level contextual factors. We extend this by integrating micro-level individual variables,
such as career aspirations and well-being, as contingent factors influencing GM practices. There is variation in
GM responses in relation to the volume of GM activities, GM-related policies, investments in digitalization and
technology, and variations in mobility types. We observed a potential paradigm shift that affords employees
greater agency in their global mobility paths, thereby greater granularity to contingency theory. This nuanced
approach opens new research avenues and equips organizational leaders with a comprehensive set of variables
for GM decision-making. Our findings indicate lasting global mobility changes but foresee gradual implementation
due to associated risks., This work was supported by the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación [Grant number PID2020-115018RB-C31]. This work was supported by the Liikesivistysrahasto (Foundation for Economic Education). [Grant number 22-12559].

En el panorama empresarial actual, la innovación es esencial para que las empresas
aseguren su supervivencia y competitividad. Sin embargo, la innovación a menudo
requiere inversiones sustanciales que pueden exceder los recursos internos de una empresa,
lo que lleva a las empresas a buscar mecanismos alternativos, como la colaboración
tecnológica con entidades externas y la inversión en I+D. La investigación ha demostrado
que ambas estrategias influyen positivamente en el desempeño innovador de las empresas.
Sin embargo, los factores que afectan el comportamiento organizacional y los resultados
a menudo se pasan por alto. Las empresas familiares, caracterizadas por su estructura
de propiedad única y sus objetivos financieros y no financieros entrelazados, son ideales
para estudiar cómo estos objetivos afectan las decisiones de innovación. Este estudio tiene
como objetivo determinar si la colaboración tecnológica y el gasto en I+D interno tienen
un mayor efecto en los procesos de innovación de las empresas familiares en comparación
con las empresas no familiares. Utilizando datos de 2,415 empresas españolas durante diez
años, esta investigación contribuye a la literatura integrando la perspectiva de la riqueza
socioemocional y demostrando que las empresas familiares están mejor equipadas para implementar
y beneficiarse de estas estrategias para mejorar los resultados de la innovación., In the current business landscape, innovation is essential for companies to ensure their survival and competitiveness. However, innovation often requires substantial investments that may exceed a company's internal resources, leading businesses to seek alternative mechanisms such as technological collaboration with external entities and internal R&D expenditure. Research has shown that both strategies positively influence firms' innovation performance. However, the factors affecting organizational behaviour and outcomes are often overlooked. Family businesses, characterized by their unique ownership structure and intertwined financial and non-financial goals, are ideal for studying how these objectives impact innovation decisions. This study aims to determine whether technological collaboration and internal R&D expenditure have a greater effect on the innovation processes of family firms compared to non-family firms. Using data from 2,415 Spanish companies over ten years, this research contributes to the literature by integrating the socioemotional wealth perspective and demonstrating that family firms are better equipped to implement and benefit from these strategies to enhance innovation outcomes., The author gratefully acknowledges the funding received through the TED2021-132446B-I00 (MICIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) research project and the European Union NextGeneration EU/PRTR, and the PID2020-115018RB-C31 (AEI/ FEDER, UE) research project financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the European Regional Development Funds.
