“…The recognition of the pivotal role of competencies in the labour market has attracted an abundance of scientific interest, aimed at investigating the fit between employees' competencies and job demands in different work domains. Competence studies in different contexts and settingsfrom big companies (Osagie et al, 2016) to small horticultural enterprises (Mulder et al, 2007), and from agricultural extension instructors (Karbasioun et al, 2007) to workers in the field of clinical research informatics (Zozus et al, 2017) or correctional staff (Harper, 2016) indicate the existence of a broad spectrum of competencies needed to become a successful professional. Nevertheless, research in this area tends to focus on subjects' competencies in their current work environments.…”

Purpose Despite the increasing consumers’ intent to support short food networks, the expansion of short food supply chains (SFSCs) remains limited. The purpose of this paper is to identify potential antecedents of farmers’ willingness to participate in SFSCs. Design/methodology/approach Using data from a sample of Greek farmers the authors examined whether farmers’ citizenship behaviour, the levels of their perceived competencies and the degree to which they feel accepted by their communities affect their willingness to engage in SFSCs. Findings Results indicate that producers’ citizenship behaviour does indeed have a positive impact on willingness to participate in SFSCs, whereas their perceptions of the acceptance they enjoy within their communities also significantly predict this willingness. On the contrary, self-perceived lack of communication and collaboration competencies diminishes this willingness. Originality/value To the best of our knowledge, this study is one of the first attempts to explore the role of farmers’ competencies in their willingness to participate in SFSCs. In addition, by integrating concepts derived from multiple disciplines, our work adds new factors in the wide spectrum of forces that impel or suppress farmers’ willingness to take part in alternative food distribution networks.

“…Sampling among participants at an international science conference offers the opportunity to address a globally distributed population of a specific profession that has a specific research focus. That sampling approach has been successfully employed in empirical research, especially in the areas of health and medicine (Pezold et al, 2016 ; Zozus et al, 2017 ). Rigorous peer-review processes affecting all contributions to the AoM conference ensured that those involved were active research scholars who authored research presented at the conference.…”

Ethical Orientation and Research Misconduct Among Business Researchers Under the Condition of Autonomy and Competition

et al. 2022

The topics of ethical conduct and governance in academic research in the business field have attracted scientific and public attention. The concern is that research misconduct in organizations such as business schools and universities might result in practitioners, policymakers, and researchers grounding their decisions on biased research results. This study addresses ethical research misconduct by investigating whether the ethical orientation of business researchers is related to the likelihood of research misconduct, such as selective reporting of research findings. We distinguish between deontological and consequentialist ethical orientations and the competition between researchers and investigate the moderating role of their perceived autonomy. Based on global data collected from 1031 business scholars, we find that researchers with a strong deontological ethical orientation are less prone to misconduct. This effect is robust against different levels of perceived autonomy and competition. In contrast, researchers having a consequentialist ethical orientation is positively associated with misconduct in business research. High levels of competition in the research environment reinforce this effect. Our results reveal a potentially toxic combination comprising researchers with a strong consequentialist orientation who are embedded in highly competitive research environments. Our research calls for the development of ethical orientations grounded on maxims rather than anticipated consequences among researchers. We conclude that measures for ethical governance in business schools should consider the ethical orientation that underlies researchers’ decision-making and the organizational and institutional environment in which business researchers are embedded.

“…18 A data steward working in a research group or similar research environment with data management is here referred to as embedded data steward. These domain-specific data stewards are primarily used in data-intensive research within health sciences 19 and natural sciences 20 and specialize in data management in a single discipline. An editorial from Nature Genetics 21 starts with a clear statement regarding data stewardship, asserting that, "professional data stewards be trained and employed in all data-rich research projects, [which] raises the exciting prospect they will conduct research on data-intensive research itself."…”

Using Personas to Visualize the Need for Data Stewardship

There is a current discussion in universities regarding the need for dedicated research data stewards. This article presents a set of fictional personas for research data support based on experience and requests by experts in different areas of data management. Using a modified Delphi study, 24 participants from different stakeholder groups have contributed to the skills and backgrounds necessary to fulfill the needs for data stewardship. Inspired by user experience (UX) methodology, different data personas are developed to illustrate the range of skills required to support data management within universities. Further, as a competency hub for data stewards, the development of a research data support center is proposed.
